Phoebe/Quotes

These are Phoebe's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

• Before battle

"Ahahaha! I'm Phoebe of the Elite Four. I did my training on Mt. Pyre. While I trained, I gained the ability to commune with Ghost-type Pokémon. Yes, the bond I developed with Pokémon is extremely tight. So, come on, just try and see if you can even inflict damage on my Pokémon!"

• Being defeated

"Oh, darn. I've gone and lost."

• After being defeated

"There's a definite bond between you and your Pokémon, too. I didn't recognize it, so it's only natural that I lost. Yup, I'd like to see how far your bond will carry you. Go ahead, move to the next room."

• Over the PokéNav^E

"Hi, <player>. How about coming back here again sometime? I'd like to see much tighter your bond has grown with your Pokémon."

Rematch

• Before battle

"Ahaha! I've been waiting for you! I'm bringing a little something new to the table this time! Prepare yourself and bring it on!"

• Being defeated

Mt. Pyre

• After completing the Delta Episode

"...I know, right?! ...Uh-huh. ...Uh-huh-uh-huh. ...Ahahaha! You're always joking around! ...Uh-huh, got it. ...OK, I'll be back!"

"Oh? You... What are you doing in a place like this?

Training: "Hmmm, I see. I usually train here. Today I had planned to come see my grandma here, though. Well, good luck with your training! See you in the Pokémon League!"

Paying respects: "Oh, I see. That must be why my grandma was talking about you earlier. It looks like you made a lasting impression on my grandma. Well, I guess I'll be on my way. See you in the Pokémon League!"

"... ... ..."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Phoebe

"Ah!"

"Found you!"

Me?: "No no, not you!"

Who were you looking for?: "Huh? Wait, can't you see her?"

"She's right next to you."

"We're playing hide-and-seek!"

"Right, Dusclops?"

"Wait, can you not see Dusclops?"

"Well, let's find out! Try to figure out where Dusclops is!"

Right next to me?: "Bzzzt! Wrong!"

Behind me?: "Wow! You got it right!"

"Come on out, Dusclops! Say hi!"

"Well, now that <player> is here, let's put the game on hold."

"Dusclops was on a roll, so I guess I lose this time."

"Oh, but we should count how many she actually found! I might still have a chance!"

Uh...what?/Count?: "What's wrong? You look confused."

"Wait a minute. Do you not...?"

"Ahaha! I get it now! You thought I was playing hide-and-seek with Dusclops!"

"No, we're both always "it." We do the seeking!"

"The ones hiding are the spirits wandering around the forest!"

Wait...what?/... ... ...: "Dusclops absorbs wandering spirits into her empty body."

"...I don't know what happens to them when she absorbs them, though..."

"OK, let's see. Dusclops found one...two...three..."

"Aw, shucks. I lost."

"I guess you really can't see them, can you, <player>?"

"You're depending on your eyes too much."

"Try to see with your heart. Feel them there."

"If you do that, you'll be able to see things that you weren't able to before."

"For example, I can't see the sync strength that Dusclops and I share."

"But if I close my eyes like this, I can feel it."

"Just don't think about it too hard!"

"Even if it's something you can't logically understand, you can have an emotional connection with your Pokémon."

"I'm sure you can feel that sync strength with your Pokémon, too!"

"If you can do that, maybe you'll be able to see the spirits, also!"

Sync Pair Story - Dusclops's Evolution

• Before battle

• After defeating Agatha

"You know it! But I think I got even better thanks to battling you!"

"Wha... Dusclops?! Are you about to evolve?"

"Ahahaha! I can't wait to battle with you in your new evolved form!"

"Oh, she went home... I guess she thought to give us some space."

• If spoken to again

"I'm guessing she was just shy, so don't worry about it!"

• Random conversation

"Admittedly, I have a bit of a "Grandma's girl" streak."

"Grandma always encourages me."

"Whenever I'm feeling down, she tells me a joke to make me laugh."

"So when I was a member of the Elite Four and the Pokémon League, I couldn't see my grandma. That made me sad."

• If spoken to again

"Grandma tells me that the most important thing is the bond between you and your Pokémon."

"That's why my Pokémon and I cherish our bonds!"

• Random conversation

"There's a Pokémon called Sableye in the Hoenn region!"

"It has jewels for eyes, which sparkle, and it's really cute!"

"It's a bit of a prankster, so it might be a handful, but be nice if you ever see one."

• If spoken to again

"A lot of people might not notice them, but there are Pokémon in a lot more places than you would expect!"

"For example...right behind your back..."

"Wait a minute... There aren't any wild Pokémon on Pasio..."

• Random conversation*

"I've been with Dusclops for a long time now."

"Grandma brought her home when I was little and feeling down."

"To have a friend at your side when you're going through hard times is the most precious thing in the world."

"Grandma taught me that!"

"Wouldn't you say our bonds have gotten really strong?"

"I hope I can introduce you to my grandma soon."

"I'm sure she would be really happy to meet you!"

• If spoken to again

"My grandma's Pokémon sometimes come to check in on me!"

"They usually stay near the foot of Mt. Pyre."

• Random conversation

"You want to know what kind of training I did on Mt. Pyre?"

"I battled and befriended Ghost-type Pokémon to understand them better."

"I took Grandma's advice to become friends with them more..."

"And then, by the time I realized it, I had become stronger, too! Isn't the power of bonds amazing?"

• If spoken to again

"Ghost-type Pokémon and I have an unspoken understanding."

"Because they stay by my side when I'm happy, sad, in good times, and in bad!"

"That's why I hope I can stay with them forever!"

• Random conversation

"How many other Trainers or Pokémon did you deepen bonds with since you came to Pasio?"

"I was hoping that I would be able to become stronger here."

"And make new friends."

"So that's why I'm really happy that I can talk to you like this! Ahahaha!"

• If spoken to again

"Talking is great, isn't it? It lets you communicate your feelings to others!"

"Even if you don't speak the same language, even if you can't see each other..."

• Random conversation (Fall 2023)

"I hear it's actually quite spacious and comfortable."

"Wanna give it a try?"

• Random conversation (Fall 2023)

"Everyone has a different relationship with ghost Pokémon."

"I've always thought of them as friends."

"So I'm glad to meet others on Pasio who think the same!"

• Random conversation (Fall 2023)

"What does a bond mean to you, <player>?"

"To me, it means getting along with another person or Pokémon and getting to know them better."

"The more bonds you have, the better your friendships!"

"Bonds may not be visible, but they're super important!"

• Random conversation (Fall 2023)

"The museum gets really lively at night. It's exciting!"

"I wonder if schools and libraries are like that, too."

"Hm? There shouldn't be anyone at night, you say?"

"I'm sure you'll understand if you see them!"

• Random conversation (Fall 2023)

"If a ghost Pokémon pops out and scares you, don't get upset, OK?"
