Sidney/Quotes

These are Sidney's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

• Before battle

"Welcome, challenger! I'm Sidney of the Elite Four. I like that look you're giving me. I guess you'll give me a good match. That's good! Looking real good! All right! You and me, let's enjoy a battle that can only be staged here in the Pokémon League!"

• Being defeated

"Well, how do you like that? I lost! Eh, it was fun, so it doesn't matter."

• After being defeated

"Well, listen to what this loser has to say. You've got what it takes to go far. Now, go on to the next room and enjoy your next battle!"

• Over the PokéNav^E

"Yo, <player>! If you want to battle with me again, you come on back whenever you like to the Pokémon League. I'll always be here! I'll be waiting!"

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Pokémon League

"Welcome, challenger! I'm Sidney of the Elite Four."

• Being defeated

"Well, how do you like that? I lost! Eh, it was fun, so it doesn't matter."

• After being defeated

Rematch

• Before battle (first rematch)

"Yo! I've been waiting for you, Champion! With the strength you've gained, we can battle with no holds barred! Not to mention, our boy Steven sent us Elite Four some Key Stones! In other words, my Pokémon Mega Evolve, too... Heh heh... This one's gonna be fun!"

• Before battle (subsequent rematches)

"I was waiting for you, Champion. No matter who wins, no hard feelings! Let's get our most excellent battle underway!"

• Being defeated

"Well, well, I lose again!"

• After being defeated

"Heh... I knew you really were the strongest... Well, hurry up and get out of here! Everybody else is still waiting for you!"

Battle Maison

"Oh! It's you! You're here, too, huh? I guess when Trainers find out about a facility like this, it gets their blood pumping. This place reeks of hard-driving Trainers. Who, me? I came to ask that guy Steven to come to the Pokémon League. That guy really goes for it when it comes to the Battle Maison. He's been hanging around here where he can have different battles than in the Pokémon League. Anyway, I came to bring him back, but it looks like he dodged me... Well, I said what I came to say. I'm going back to Ever Grande. You're going to try your luck at the Battle Maison, too, right? If you see that guy, say hi for me. See you later."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sidney

"Oh, come on. Don't tell me you actually believe those superstitions!"

"Yo, <player>! Did I keep you waiting or something?"

Nope, I just got here.: "You must've heard what we were talking about, huh?"

What was that about a disaster?: "So you overheard that... I guess that would be alarming to hear. "Disaster" is a pretty loaded word, after all..."

"Y'see, there's this superstition about Absol. People used to believe that it brought disasters."

"Reason being, natural disasters like earthquakes and tidal waves would always happen whenever it appeared."

"But actually, Absol can sense incoming disasters with their horn, and they would come down from the mountains to warn people."

"Ain't that right, buddy? That's actually how the two of us met!"

"A while back, I was up in the mountains when Absol came outta nowhere and tried to chase me outta there!"

"At the time, I thought he was dangerous, so I fought back with my own Pokémon. But he just wouldn't budge."

"Eventually, he drove us all the way down the mountain."

"And right when we left, there was a huge avalanche on that mountain! I nearly jumped outta my skin!"

"When things calmed down, this guy tried to go back into the mountains like it was nothing."

"As I was watching him walk away, I realized I wanted to team up with him."

How come?: "Well, because he was so cool! It sent shivers down my spine!"

Because he's so reliable?: "Yeah! But I didn't just want to rely on him... I wanted to let him know I can support him, too!"

"My partner is strong. No matter what anyone says about him or how badly he's misunderstood, he never wavers in his beliefs."

"Guys who have something to believe in are strong. That's why we put our all into enjoying battles."

"As long as I'm with Absol, there's never a dull moment!"

"I also can't deny the fact that we're pretty similar. People used to call me a delinquent back in the day."

You're a great sync pair!: "Right? I'm not one to talk clichés, but it really was destiny that we met."

It's great that you two met!: "Yeah! You can search far and wide, but you'll never find a partner as strong and reliable as him!"

"No matter what anyone says about us, we'll never back down. Our will is strong."

"We know that's the most important thing to believe! And we're gonna keep on pushing forward!"

Pokémon Center

• During sync background preview

"Yo! You and me—we should get down to the kind of battle that can happen only here on Pasio!"

• Random conversation

"You know how here on Pasio, there's all kinds of people gathered in one place?"

"Every once in a while, I'll run into someone with a really rockin' hairstyle or outfit that even I haven't seen before."

"It might be interesting to ask them how they developed their style!"

• Random conversation

"People used to call me a delinquent back in the day...but now, I'm a proud member of the Hoenn Elite Four!"

"Meeting all sorts of folks helped me realize what I really want to do."

"Make sure you stay connected, kid! Meeting and knowing people is important."

• Random conversation

"In Hoenn, we have these treats for Pokémon called Pokéblocks."

"My partner Pokémon really seems to love 'em. I got curious and wanted to try one myself, but someone stopped me before I could take a bite."

"Heh. Do you wanna try one, too? I wonder how they taste!"

• Random conversation

"Focusing on winning is important when you're battling Pokémon, but if you ask me, enjoying the battle is even more important than that!"

"Some people get really fixated on winning. But just 'cause you lose doesn't mean it was all for nothing."

"Even if you lose, you'll still want to try again if you had fun. And if you try again, that makes you want to win, right?"

"That's why people keep at it. And that's what makes us stronger."

• Random conversation

"Y'know, I once had a conversation with Steven about rocks."

"He kept going on and on about how some rocks are a certain color or are so nice to touch because of their texture, all with this huge grin on his face."

"I don't know too much about rocks myself, but I appreciate his enthusiasm."

"I could tell he's really passionate about his hobbies."

• Random conversation

"What do you think of my hair and clothes today? Pretty wild, right? And cool to boot! I'm diggin' it."

"But maybe it's a little too wild for some people... They'll stop and stare at me from a distance."

"I can't tell if it's because they're scared or interested in trying it out themselves!"

"Either way, if they just walked up and talked to me about it, I'd be more than happy to chat with them."

• If spoken to again

"Maybe if I notice someone staring, I should go ahead and initiate the conversation!"

"It might be a good way to make new friends! Like how I met you!"

• Random conversation

"Pokémon battles are all about the challenge. I think that's what makes them so much fun."

"That's also why I like being a member of the Elite Four—and why it's so important to me... Because other Trainers never stop challenging us!"

"You should come and take on the Hoenn Elite Four someday! That's bound to lead to some wild battles!"

• If spoken to again

"Here on Pasio, I don't have to stay in one place like I did as a part of the Elite Four, so I'm using this opportunity to go around and meet people."

"That's how I got to know you! It's been worth the effort I took to get here, so I'm glad I came."

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Yo, <player>! I was waitin' for you."

"You're looking sharp today! Get out there and have the most excellent battles!"

• Special log-in conversation (morning)

"Yo! Are you ready to go? I wanna battle as many sync pairs as I can today!"

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon)

"No matter how strong you are, you've still gotta have manners. Treat people how you wanna be treated, you know?"

• Special log-in conversation (evening)

"I've seen some dangerous people out there at night. Careful you don't fall into one of their traps on your way home, all right?"

• Special gift conversation

"Oh, hey! Nice to see ya!"

"I have a little present for you. Take it!"

• After giving out item

"You can use it and have even more fun exploring!"

• Special Type Team-Up Daily Type Rotation event blurb

"I guess you'll give me a good match."
