Deathwing: /* Pokémon Platinum */ Dialogue in there out of order I believe

These are [[Saturn]]'s quotes in the [[Pokémon games]].

==In the core series==
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl===
;Team Galactic HQ
* Before battle
:''"You... You came all the way here just to save some Pokémon? ...Though its nothing new, I can't say I understand our boss... Why would he let a kid like you come and go freely...? We, Team Galactic, take all that we need, and eliminate what we do not. But anyway. You've taken the trouble to come. Let me welcome you! Consider it payback for insulting me at the lake."''

* When defeated
:''"You're tough, kid! But, I still pity the likes of you."''

* After being defeated
:''"...Gah! What makes you so tough? Fine... Do whatever you want with those three Pokémon. Press the button on that machine to set them free.''"

:''"Press the button and set them free. Isn't that why you came?"''

:''"Our boss crafted a Red Chain from crystals he took from the three Pokémon. That Red Chain is what he needed to shackle something on Mt. Coronet. It's also apparently needed for creating something. But that's all I know. Who knows what he's planning to do up there."''

;Valor Cavern
* Before battle
:''"The mission is proceeding without a hitch. The boss should be pleased. Everything is for everyone, and for the good of Team Galactic!"''

:''"I recognize your face! You're the child who raided the Team Galactic Building in [[Eterna City|Eterna]]! Humph! Jupiter should be ashamed of herself, being beaten by a child. But anything that opposes Team Galactic must be crushed! Even the very thought of opposition will not be tolerated!"''

* When defeated
:''"You, my friend, are tough! I can see why you defy us so..."''

* After being defeated
:''"Gah! Even I, a Commander, only managed to buy us time? But that's fine. A child like you will never be able to stem the flow of time! Team Galactic will get the three legendary Pokémon of the lakes! With their power, we will create an entirely new universe! By now, Mars should have captured the Pokémon of Lake Verity..."''

;After the Spear Pillar events
:''"So, it's you...<br>I've heard about you and what took place at the Spear Pillar.<br>What our boss really wanted... Even I don't know that.<br>His confident manner of speaking... His logical words...<br>I think people just became so enthralled by him.<br>I allowed myself to believe his words because I wanted to see the world he intended to make.<br>I've been left in charge of this HQ building and the remnants of the membership...<br>The decision on what Team Galactic should do rests with me...<br>But I've learned that extremism is never the solution..."''

;Team Galactic HQ
:(to Charon)
:''"What are you trying to say?"''
:(to Charon)
:''"Gramps. Our boss can do without your kind of moral support."''

* Before battle
:''"You... You came all the way here just to save some Pokémon? ...Though it's nothing new, I can't say I understand our boss... Why would he let a kid like you come and go freely...? We, Team Galactic, take all that we need, and eliminate what we do not. But anyway. You've taken the trouble to come. Let me welcome you! Consider it payback for your insulting me at the lake."''

;After the Spear Pillar events
:''"So, it's you... I've heard about you and what took place at the Spear Pillar. Our leader, Master Cyrus, hated the very idea of spirit. He hated spirit for being incomplete. And yet, using fiery exhortations, he rallied the spirit of others. What he hated most, he used to control others. Isn't that ironic? That fascinated me. I wanted to see what he would do. And I did. At his side. But it's over. A world without spirit... Who would want such a thing?! So, what now...? What to do with Team Galactic? But I've learned that extremism is never the solution... Perhaps we should really be searching for new sources of energy. Instead of lying about it through our commercials."''

===Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===
;Battle Tower
* Before battle
:''"Oh, it's you. I suppose I'll set aside our history. For now I am simply your opponent."''

* Being defeated
:''"Gah! You're tough, kid."''

*After being defeated
:''"I suppose I should have expected this from the Trainer who defeated our boss."''

: ''"Hmph. So that's what you think?"''
: ''"I'll admit, we weren't actually harboring any ill will toward you."''
: ''"I simply wanted to battle you."''
: ''"Because when we fought back in Sinnoh, I couldn't defeat you."''
: ''"In terms of skill, you may be on par with our boss."''
: ''"Perhaps it's my curiosity as a Trainer that makes me wonder what the secret to your power is."''
: ''"But what was I thinking, when our boss is facing a crisis?"''
: ''"Master Cyrus…doing something wrong?"''
: ''"What?"''
: ''"Hmph. Yeah, I think so."''
: ''"Very well. Once we've successfully extricated Master Cyrus from this mess, I'll have you tell me everything about your little secret."''

Archer/Quotes

2026-02-11T19:37:00Z

Deathwing: /* Pokémon Masters EX */ formatting

These are [[Archer]]'s quotes in the [[Pokémon games]].

==In the core series games==
==={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}===
* Before battle
:''"Oh? You managed to get this far? You must be quite the trainer. We intend to take over this <sc>[[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Station]]</sc> and announce our comeback. That should bring our boss <sc>[[Giovanni]]</sc> back from his solo training. We are going to regain our former glory. I won't allow you to interfere with our plans."

* Being defeated
:''"No! Forgive me, <sc>Giovanni</sc>!"''

* After being defeated
:''"How could this be? Our dreams have come to naught. I wasn't up to the task after all. Like <sc>Giovanni</sc> did before me, I will disband <sc>[[Team Rocket]]</sc> here today. Farewell."''

==={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}===
* Before battle
:''"That's quite enough of you playing the hero, kid. Spreading lies about how <sc>Team Rocket</sc> has disbanded… It's such an obvious attempt to cause confusion in our ranks. Fortunately, we're not so ignorant to fall for the lies of a child! And now, I'll show you how scary an angry adult can be!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Urgh… You were too strong… … Th-that's {{badge|Earth|<sc>Giovanni</sc>'s <sc>Badge</sc>}}! So it's true? <sc>Team Rocket</sc> really has disbanded?"''

* After being defeated
:''"We will abandon this <sc>[[Rocket Warehouse|Warehouse]]</sc>… But don't think this is over. I won't let this be the end. I will find <sc>Giovanni</sc>. And I will resurrect <sc>Team Rocket</sc>! I will… Until then, farewell!"''

==={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}===
* Before battle
:''"Oh? You managed to get this far…? You must be quite the Trainer. We intend to take over this Radio Tower and officially announce our comeback. That should bring our boss Giovanni back from his solitary training. We are going to regain our former glory… I will not allow you to interfere with our meticulous plans!"''

* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"We can't have you getting in the way before news of our resurgence reaches Giovanni!"''

* Last Pokémon low on health
:''"That's impossible…"''

* Being defeated
:''"No! Forgive me, Giovanni!"''

* After being defeated
:''"How could this be…? Our dreams have come to naught. I was not up to the task after all. Like Giovanni has done before me, I will disband Team Rocket here today. Farewell…"''

===[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]===
;[[Team Rocket Hideout]] (first visit)
* Talking with Giovanni (while the {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} is inside the air vent)
:''"Where did that {{p|Cubone}} come from, Boss?"''
:''"The skull on its head is very beautiful... We should be able to sell it for a good price once it becomes a {{p|Marowak}}."''

* Talking with Giovanni (upon entering the office)
:''"Just one look at this [[Silph Scope]] and it's plain to see... [[Silph Co.]] definitely has the technology and skill Team Rocket will need to make our wishes come true."''
:''"Yes, sir!"''

* Before battle
:''"What is a child doing here? You listened in our conversation without saying a word? I don't much care for that. I am Archer, an {{tc|Executive|Admin}} of Team Rocket. And I do not go easy even on children!"''

* Being defeated
:''"What a blunder!"''

* After being defeated
:''"F-forgive me, Giovanni... For me to be defeated by a simple child..."''

* After defeating Giovanni
:''"...Cubone seems to have gone [[Lavender Town|home]] on its own. Why don't you get out of here, too, and figure out how to use that Silph Scope or something?"''

;[[Silph Co.]]
* Before battle
:''"You—!"''
:''"So you're fool enough to get in our way, is that it? What brave little boys."''
:''"Calm yourself! I'll teach these children a good lesson."''

* Being defeated
:''"Gaaah... again?!"''

* After being defeated
:''"So it wasn't just a stroke of luck that let you beat me last time. I understand now. We'll have to be more careful about you two..."''

* 7F
:''"That's far enough!"''
:''"Me again. As many times as it takes. I will not let you reach the boss!"''
:''"Ugh! I don't have time for this! I must warn the boss!"''

;Team Rocket Hideout (post-game)
* Before battle
:''"You... What could you possibly want, coming back here now? Because of you, Team Rocket was disbanded... It's not my style to be emotional, but I wanted to give you a glimpse of how I felt."

* Being defeated
:''"With my current skills, I was not up to the task after all."''

* After being defeated
:''"... Never mind. To tell you the truth... I thought you might show up, so I was writing a letter to you. Let me read it..."''
:''""Dear <{{player}}>, Congratulations on conquering the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]]. I hold no grudges against you for what you did to Team Rocket. Instead, using this defeat as a springboard, I would like to create an even stronger Team Rocket and officially announce our comeback. I will leave the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. I wish for your continued success here in Kanto. Farewell. Archer""
:''"What did I want you to think of me by writing such a letter?"''
:''"Humph. ...Take care."''

==In the side series games==

* Before battle
:''"Oh? You're come all this way? Fine. I'll accept your challenge."''
:''"I have received reports that your skills are not insignificant."''
:''"I'm sorry to say this, but this is the end. I will eliminate you."''

* Sending out first Pokémon
:''"<Pokémon>!"''

* Sending out a new Pokémon
:''"<Pokémon>!"''
:''"Next, <Pokémon>!"''
:''"Then <Pokémon> it is!"''
:''"And <Pokémon> for the finale!"''

* [[Recall]]ing a Pokémon
:''"A failed gambit."''
:''"Merely acceptable, no?"''
:''"It's not quite there yet."''
:''"Good. Well done."''

* Own Pokémon faints
:''"Oh, I see."''
:''"Rubbed out..."''

* Player's Pokémon faints
:''"Oh, the poor thing."''

* Own Pokémon lands a [[critical hit]]
:''"Ah, there's its weak spot. Quite good, wouldn't you agree?"''

* Player's Pokémon lands a critical hit
:''"Oh, you hit its weak spot. Nicely done."''

* Own Pokémon being hurt by [[Bound|binding]]
:''"Oh. My, my..."''

* Commanding his {{p|Misdreavus}} to use {{m|Curse}}
:''"Allow me to show you a horrific technique."''
:''"We'll get hurt too, but I have no choice."''

* Successfully {{status|Confusion|confusing}} the player's Pokémon
:''"Oh. My, my..."''
:''"It confused..."'' (Round 2 only)

* If the player is defeated
:''"How disappointing for you."''

* After being defeated
:''"This does not mean that you have dashed our grand designs."''
:''"As reported, you are indeed talented."''
:''"It pains me to see your talent go to waste!"''

* After winning
:''"May I invite you to join <sc>Team Rocket</sc> for a career in crime?"''
:''"You may have qualities to become an <sc>Executive</sc>."''
:''"What do you think? International-level {{ScPkmn}} are marvelous, aren't they?"''

* If the battle ended in a draw
:''"I must say, I had great confidence before the match."''

* If the player runs from the battle
:''"Is that so? You're quitting?"''

;[[Challenge Cup]]
* Before battle
:''"My, my... An energetic child has come along."''
:''"What would you like to do? Turning back is a viable option."''
:''"You apparently have no knowledge of my fearsomeness."''

* Own Pokémon faints
:''"Urrrrrmmm..."''

* Successfully {{status|poison}}ing the player's Pokémon
:''"Oh. My, my..."''

* After being defeated
:''"This is meaningless to us."''

:''"Team Rocket is willing to take any risk. When you face us, I wonder how far your battling skills will take you."''

* Random conversation
:''"There's a thin line between justice and evil. Whoever wins defines justice."''
:''"So you'd better watch out, and don't lose to us."''

* Random conversation
:''"Hopefully, among the Trainers here on Pasio…"''
:''"we can find new, skilled talent that will swear loyalty to Giovanni and his ideals willingly."''

* Random conversation
:''"There is a clear hierarchy in Team Rocket."''
:''"You seem to be good at teaming up with people, but I wonder if you're good at working in an organization."''
:''"Sometimes you need to make ruthless decisions at the expense of your peers. You can't be naïve."''

* Random conversation
:''"When Giovanni was away, I led Team Rocket."''
:''"But he returned and is once again Team Rocket's boss. Our organization has been reborn—stronger than ever!"''
:''"Once again, I'm witnessing the significance of his presence."''
:* If spoken to again
::''"An organization can change dramatically depending on who leads it."''
::''"I cannot imagine Team Rocket without Giovanni."''

* Random conversation
:''"Why don't you come and work for Team Rocket?"''
:''"I wonder that sometimes."''
:''"You look surprised. I do acknowledge your skills—but nothing else!"''
:* If spoken to again
::''"I bet you have things you won't budge on, just like us."''
::''"But if you ever change your mind, I won't turn you away."''

: ''"I trust the grunts to do what it takes to redeem themselves this time."''
: ''"How foolish!"''
: ''"We are Team Rocket... Our only connection is a ruthless, evil bond!"''

;Sync Pair Story - A Day With Archer

: ''"My, my. What's a child doing here at this hour?"''
: '''I came to see if the rumors were true.:''' ''"Oh, I see."''
: ''"If you want to know the truth behind that rumor, people were probably hearing Houndoom's cry."''
: ''"I come here regularly with Houndoom for special training."''
: ''"If Team Rocket is seen at a time or place that's too conspicuous, people will make a fuss."''
: ''"Although it's irritating, we have to train in a place where people won't easily see us."''
: ''"But Houndoom doesn't seem to care when or where we train."''
: ''"I received Houndoom from Giovanni when he was a Houndour, so I feel strongly attached to him."''
: ''"We must train ourselves to work in a way that meets Giovanni's expectations."''
: ''"Since Houndoom became my partner, I have drilled Team Rocket's values into him."''
: ''"One might even say that Houndoom is an elite Pokémon."''
: ''"He grew up to be a worthy Pokémon that can be of use to Giovanni."''
: ''"If Houndoom and I can show our unwavering loyalty to Team Rocket..."''
: ''"I'm sure Giovanni will be pleased with us."''

: ''"Nobody other than Giovanni is capable of leading Team Rocket."''
: ''"Houndoom feels the same way."''
: ''"We have a powerful connection."''
: ''"For you, perhaps the word 'bond' makes more sense?"''
: ''"Houndoom shows me loyalty and makes a steady effort to carry out my orders."''
: ''"You would call that a 'sync pair,' correct?"''
: ''"Houndoom's mission is to support me, and my mission is to support Giovanni."''
: ''"Sometimes you meet those who can inspire lifelong devotion..."''
: ''"Someday you will understand."''

Archer/Quotes

2026-02-11T19:35:21Z

Deathwing: /* Pokémon Masters EX */ formatting fix

These are [[Archer]]'s quotes in the [[Pokémon games]].

==In the core series games==
==={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}===
* Before battle
:''"Oh? You managed to get this far? You must be quite the trainer. We intend to take over this <sc>[[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Station]]</sc> and announce our comeback. That should bring our boss <sc>[[Giovanni]]</sc> back from his solo training. We are going to regain our former glory. I won't allow you to interfere with our plans."

* Being defeated
:''"No! Forgive me, <sc>Giovanni</sc>!"''

* After being defeated
:''"How could this be? Our dreams have come to naught. I wasn't up to the task after all. Like <sc>Giovanni</sc> did before me, I will disband <sc>[[Team Rocket]]</sc> here today. Farewell."''

==={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}===
* Before battle
:''"That's quite enough of you playing the hero, kid. Spreading lies about how <sc>Team Rocket</sc> has disbanded… It's such an obvious attempt to cause confusion in our ranks. Fortunately, we're not so ignorant to fall for the lies of a child! And now, I'll show you how scary an angry adult can be!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Urgh… You were too strong… … Th-that's {{badge|Earth|<sc>Giovanni</sc>'s <sc>Badge</sc>}}! So it's true? <sc>Team Rocket</sc> really has disbanded?"''

* After being defeated
:''"We will abandon this <sc>[[Rocket Warehouse|Warehouse]]</sc>… But don't think this is over. I won't let this be the end. I will find <sc>Giovanni</sc>. And I will resurrect <sc>Team Rocket</sc>! I will… Until then, farewell!"''

==={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}===
* Before battle
:''"Oh? You managed to get this far…? You must be quite the Trainer. We intend to take over this Radio Tower and officially announce our comeback. That should bring our boss Giovanni back from his solitary training. We are going to regain our former glory… I will not allow you to interfere with our meticulous plans!"''

* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"We can't have you getting in the way before news of our resurgence reaches Giovanni!"''

* Last Pokémon low on health
:''"That's impossible…"''

* Being defeated
:''"No! Forgive me, Giovanni!"''

* After being defeated
:''"How could this be…? Our dreams have come to naught. I was not up to the task after all. Like Giovanni has done before me, I will disband Team Rocket here today. Farewell…"''

===[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]===
;[[Team Rocket Hideout]] (first visit)
* Talking with Giovanni (while the {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} is inside the air vent)
:''"Where did that {{p|Cubone}} come from, Boss?"''
:''"The skull on its head is very beautiful... We should be able to sell it for a good price once it becomes a {{p|Marowak}}."''

* Talking with Giovanni (upon entering the office)
:''"Just one look at this [[Silph Scope]] and it's plain to see... [[Silph Co.]] definitely has the technology and skill Team Rocket will need to make our wishes come true."''
:''"Yes, sir!"''

* Before battle
:''"What is a child doing here? You listened in our conversation without saying a word? I don't much care for that. I am Archer, an {{tc|Executive|Admin}} of Team Rocket. And I do not go easy even on children!"''

* Being defeated
:''"What a blunder!"''

* After being defeated
:''"F-forgive me, Giovanni... For me to be defeated by a simple child..."''

* After defeating Giovanni
:''"...Cubone seems to have gone [[Lavender Town|home]] on its own. Why don't you get out of here, too, and figure out how to use that Silph Scope or something?"''

;[[Silph Co.]]
* Before battle
:''"You—!"''
:''"So you're fool enough to get in our way, is that it? What brave little boys."''
:''"Calm yourself! I'll teach these children a good lesson."''

* Being defeated
:''"Gaaah... again?!"''

* After being defeated
:''"So it wasn't just a stroke of luck that let you beat me last time. I understand now. We'll have to be more careful about you two..."''

* 7F
:''"That's far enough!"''
:''"Me again. As many times as it takes. I will not let you reach the boss!"''
:''"Ugh! I don't have time for this! I must warn the boss!"''

;Team Rocket Hideout (post-game)
* Before battle
:''"You... What could you possibly want, coming back here now? Because of you, Team Rocket was disbanded... It's not my style to be emotional, but I wanted to give you a glimpse of how I felt."

* Being defeated
:''"With my current skills, I was not up to the task after all."''

* After being defeated
:''"... Never mind. To tell you the truth... I thought you might show up, so I was writing a letter to you. Let me read it..."''
:''""Dear <{{player}}>, Congratulations on conquering the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]]. I hold no grudges against you for what you did to Team Rocket. Instead, using this defeat as a springboard, I would like to create an even stronger Team Rocket and officially announce our comeback. I will leave the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. I wish for your continued success here in Kanto. Farewell. Archer""
:''"What did I want you to think of me by writing such a letter?"''
:''"Humph. ...Take care."''

:''"I have received reports that your skills are not insignificant."''
:''"I'm sorry to say this, but this is the end. I will eliminate you."''

* Sending out first Pokémon
:''"<Pokémon>!"''

* Sending out a new Pokémon
:''"<Pokémon>!"''
:''"Next, <Pokémon>!"''
:''"Then <Pokémon> it is!"''
:''"And <Pokémon> for the finale!"''

:''"A failed gambit."''
:''"Merely acceptable, no?"''
:''"It's not quite there yet."''
:''"Good. Well done."''

* Own Pokémon faints
:''"Oh, I see."''
:''"Rubbed out..."''

* Player's Pokémon faints
:''"Oh, the poor thing."''

* Own Pokémon lands a [[critical hit]]
:''"Ah, there's its weak spot. Quite good, wouldn't you agree?"''

:''"Oh, you hit its weak spot. Nicely done."''

* Own Pokémon being hurt by [[Bound|binding]]
:''"Oh. My, my..."''

* Commanding his {{p|Misdreavus}} to use {{m|Curse}}
:''"Allow me to show you a horrific technique."''
:''"We'll get hurt too, but I have no choice."''

* Successfully {{status|Confusion|confusing}} the player's Pokémon
:''"Oh. My, my..."''
:''"It confused..."'' (Round 2 only)

* If the player is defeated
:''"How disappointing for you."''

* After being defeated
:''"This does not mean that you have dashed our grand designs."''
:''"As reported, you are indeed talented."''
:''"It pains me to see your talent go to waste!"''

* After winning
:''"May I invite you to join <sc>Team Rocket</sc> for a career in crime?"''
:''"You may have qualities to become an <sc>Executive</sc>."''
:''"What do you think? International-level {{ScPkmn}} are marvelous, aren't they?"''

* If the battle ended in a draw
:''"I must say, I had great confidence before the match."''

* If the player runs from the battle
:''"Is that so? You're quitting?"''

;[[Challenge Cup]]
* Before battle
:''"My, my... An energetic child has come along."''
:''"What would you like to do? Turning back is a viable option."''
:''"You apparently have no knowledge of my fearsomeness."''

* Own Pokémon faints
:''"Urrrrrmmm..."''

* Successfully {{status|poison}}ing the player's Pokémon

*'''Battle against Evil'''
: ''"We did it, boss! [[Pasio]] has finally fallen into the hands of Team Rocket!"''
: ''"Well, well. You've finally made it this far."''

: ''"Then we'll just have to be a little rough and take them from you."''

: ''"We won't accept failure—not like last time!"''
: ''"Precisely."''
: ''"Of course, I don't think there's much need to worry. We're just taking extra precautions."''
: ''"I'll crush you here and now!"''
: ''"Wha—?!"''
: ''"What do you think you're doing?"''
: ''"Even if you get in our way, there's nothing for you to gain from it!"''

* Random conversation
:''"There's a thin line between justice and evil. Whoever wins defines justice."''
:''"So you'd better watch out, and don't lose to us."''

:''"Hopefully, among the Trainers here on Pasio…"''
:''"we can find new, skilled talent that will swear loyalty to Giovanni and his ideals willingly."''

* Random conversation
:''"There is a clear hierarchy in Team Rocket."''
:''"You seem to be good at teaming up with people, but I wonder if you're good at working in an organization."''
:''"Sometimes you need to make ruthless decisions at the expense of your peers. You can't be naïve."''

* Random conversation
:''"When Giovanni was away, I led Team Rocket."''
:''"But he returned and is once again Team Rocket's boss. Our organization has been reborn—stronger than ever!"''
:''"Once again, I'm witnessing the significance of his presence."''
:* If spoken to again
::''"An organization can change dramatically depending on who leads it."''
::''"I cannot imagine Team Rocket without Giovanni."''

: ''"How foolish!"''
: ''"We are Team Rocket... Our only connection is a ruthless, evil bond!"''

: ''"My, my. What's a child doing here at this hour?"''

'''Corbeau''' (Japanese: '''カラスバ''' ''Karasuba'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is the boss of the [[Rust Syndicate]] and participates in the [[Z-A Royale]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

He wears a [[Key Stone]] within a pin on his jacket.

=== History ===
{{Incomplete|section|needs=Needs information about Corbeau's role in the story}}
When Corbeau was young, he was struggling and was helped by [[Lysandre]]. Corbeau would come to idolize Lysandre because of this. Corbeau would later defeat [[Philippe]] in business and take control of the [[Rust Syndicate]] from him.

===Pokémon===
Corbeau keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] his {{p|Scolipede}} at the first opportunity, except during the first Multi Battle against the representative of the Lumiose Safety Group.

:: ''"And who exactly am I speaking with?"''
:: ''"So you two came in place of Taunie, eh? She's too good to come herself? But tell me, Philippe, why don't our guests have a scratch on them? You were supposed to crush their spirits. Make them more persuadable.”''
:: ''"You don't say? Well isn't that interesting... So you two... I take it you're here to talk some sort of deal? Better make it worth my time."''
:: ''"Never really wanted the title of boss, I'll have you know. But Philippe there shoved it on me."''
:: ''"Bah, enough of that! We've got guests—this isn't the time to be discussing our internal affairs. And where are my manners. I've kept our guests standing this whole time! Have a seat on those sofas, why don't you? They're real'' ''comfy... Our guests all love ‘em. In fact, they never seem to want to leave ‘em... At least, not before agreeing to everything we ask.”''
:: ''"Now then, let's talk business. Like I said, though, you better make it worthwhile. Otherwise, who knows what may happen to you?"''
:: ''“I guess I'd interpret your friend Taunie's lack of communication as an attempt to save you from worrying. She's such a caring girl, after all. Fil them in, Philippe.”''
:: ''"Your friend helped us, so we helped your friend. A beautiful little circle, isn't it?"''
:: ''"Well, I take financial matters very seriously. I even personally warned her, you know. I straight up asked her, "Are you sure? You're not a pro—can you really make a video that good?" I told her she shouldn't be overpromising. But'' ''she did. So now what I want to know is... what are you two going to do about the situation?"''
::: '''That interest rate is just crazy!''': ''"What's this? Trying to go back on our terms? Sorry, kid, but a deal is a deal."'' ''“Listen, I'll tell you what. We can leave the matter of the £100,000 that Taunie borrowed between her and us. That way, you two only have to deal with all the extra interest she accrued.”''
:: ''“I'm not a monster. I know having this big old debt from Taunie hanging over your head can't be fun. And I doubt you can cough up the money, anyway. So I've got a proposal for you.”''
:: ''“Nothing too bad—I just want you to take care of some little jobs here and there for us. You do well, and I'll start reducing the interest that is owed to us."''
:: ''“Is this kid trying to test my patience? Ah, no, no. I shouldn't be losing my temper at innocent civilians. Look. I'm cutting you a deal here. Out of the goodness of my heart, I might add. Now, if you choose to reject my kind offer, then we'll just show up at the hotel and have a big old Pokémon showdown. Every single one of us. So, what do you say? I assume you'll accept?"''
::: '''No way:''' ''"What was that?"''
:: ''"Now, that's what I like to hear! Pleasure doing business with you."''
:: ''"Well, if you work really, really hard, maybe just one job! Or, I could keep giving you more work. It's up to me, really."''

::'''''Nothing better to do, huh?:''' "Hmph. You must know there are a lot of wild Pokémon coming to Lumiose these days, right? Quasartico's holo-tech does a pretty good job of keeping them in set areas and out of trouble. But some make their way into the city and cause problems for people and other Pokémon. This trend has forced some Pokémon out of their usual habitats—and into our living spaces. It's tough not having a place where you belong. It was the same for me back when I was a kid."''
::''"Looks like you didn't take care of every last troublemaker, did you? Now that's sloppy work... So, what're you gonna do with that Pokémon?"''

::''"You don't even know his real name, huh? Well, that gentleman's name is Lysandre. He is—or was—a very wealthy and generous businessman. I... don't know why he did what he did five years ago, or what he's been up to since. But if he's alive, that means I can repay him for everything he's done for me. Oh, but look at me, talking to myself. You better not breathe a word of this to anyone, understand? Otherwise, that interest... It might become a LOT more of an issue for you. Anyway, I have another job for you. We've got a little problem with some outsiders causing trouble on our turf. It might get nasty... but you should be able to handle it for me, right?

==Trivia==
*During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>
*For his first four matches the only non-Poison-type Pokémon on Corbeau's team is his [[Gyarados]]. This references his respect for [[Lysandre]], whose ace Pokémon is also Gyarados.
*Corbeau is shown to be left-handed when he throws his Poké Ball.

:: ''"And who exactly am I speaking with?"''
:: ''"So you two came in place of Taunie, eh? She's too good to come herself? But tell me, Philippe, why don't our guests have a scratch on them? You were supposed to crush their spirits. Make them more persuadable.”''
:: ''"You don't say? Well isn't that interesting... So you two... I take it you're here to talk some sort of deal? Better make it worth my time."''
:: ''"Never really wanted the title of boss, I'll have you know. But Philippe there shoved it on me."''
:: ''"Bah, enough of that! We've got guests—this isn't the time to be discussing our internal affairs. And where are my manners. I've kept our guests standing this whole time! Have a seat on those sofas, why don't you? They're real'' ''comfy... Our guests all love ‘em. In fact, they never seem to want to leave ‘em... At least, not before agreeing to everything we ask.”''
:: ''"Now then, let's talk business. Like I said, though, you better make it worthwhile. Otherwise, who knows what may happen to you?"''
:: ''“I guess I'd interpret your friend Taunie's lack of communication as an attempt to save you from worrying. She's such a caring girl, after all. Fil them in, Philippe.”''
:: ''"Your friend helped us, so we helped your friend. A beautiful little circle, isn't it?"''
:: ''"Well, I take financial matters very seriously. I even personally warned her, you know. I straight up asked her, "Are you sure? You're not a pro—can you really make a video that good?" I told her she shouldn't be overpromising. But'' ''she did. So now what I want to know is... what are you two going to do about the situation?"''
::: '''That interest rate is just crazy!''': ''"What's this? Trying to go back on our terms? Sorry, kid, but a deal is a deal."'' ''“Listen, I'll tell you what. We can leave the matter of the £100,000 that Taunie borrowed between her and us. That way, you two only have to deal with all the extra interest she accrued.”''
:: ''“I'm not a monster. I know having this big old debt from Taunie hanging over your head can't be fun. And I doubt you can cough up the money, anyway. So I've got a proposal for you.”''
:: ''“Nothing too bad—I just want you to take care of some little jobs here and there for us. You do well, and I'll start reducing the interest that is owed to us."''
:: ''“Is this kid trying to test my patience? Ah, no, no. I shouldn't be losing my temper at innocent civilians. Look. I'm cutting you a deal here. Out of the goodness of my heart, I might add. Now, if you choose to reject my kind offer, then we'll just show up at the hotel and have a big old Pokémon showdown. Every single one of us. So, what do you say? I assume you'll accept?"''
::: '''No way:''' ''"What was that?"''
:: ''"Now, that's what I like to hear! Pleasure doing business with you."''
:: ''"Well, if you work really, really hard, maybe just one job! Or, I could keep giving you more work. It's up to me, really."''
:: ''"Oh, don't worry. It... probably won't come to that. But look on the bright side—these jobs will be for the benefit of the city! Just do your best, and I'm sure everything will go fine."''
:: ''"I'll be in touch."''

::''"'Course he did! It's the Rust Syndicate's job to look after any citizen who needs help."'' ''"I was just stopping by to make sure you handled the job properly."'' '''''Nothing better to do, huh?:''' "Hmph. You must know there are a lot of wild Pokémon coming to Lumiose these days, right? Quasartico's holo-tech does a pretty good job of keeping them in set areas and out of trouble. But some make their way into the city and cause problems for people and other Pokémon. This trend has forced some Pokémon out of their usual habitats—and into our living spaces. It's tough not having a place where you belong. It was the same for me back when I was a kid."'' ''"Looks like you didn't take care of every last troublemaker, did you? Now that's sloppy work... So, what're you gonna do with that Pokémon?"'' ''"Well then. I've got your next job lined up already. I need you to help out one of my people. She'll be on the riverbank near the electrical substation. I need you to take care of some... undesirable elements down there."''

::''"Thanks for taking care of that pesky mess down there."'' ''"Say, is it true you're going around calming down Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon?"'' ''"I see... One more question. I know a guy showed up after you calmed one of those Rogue Pokemon recently. Who was he?"'' ''"You don't even know his real name, huh? Well, that gentleman's name is Lysandre. He is—or was—a very wealthy and generous businessman. I... don't know why he did what he did five years ago, or what he's been up to since. But if he's alive, that means I can repay him for everything he's done for me. Oh, but look at me, talking to myself. You better not breathe a word of this to anyone, understand? Otherwise, that interest... It might become a LOT more of an issue for you. Anyway, I have another job for you. We've got a little problem with some outsiders causing trouble on our turf. It might get nasty... but you should be able to handle it for me, right? You'll know what's up if you head to the battle court near Centrico Plaza. Go take care of it."''

::''"Hello there, you two. I heard word you've been acting like you own this place. Too bad you had to go and lose to a kid. People are on edge these days, what with all the wild Pokémon showing up in town."'' ''"You should all head home for today too, kiddos. Watch out for strangers!"'' ''"I don't think of myself as a hero, you know. Someone has to take action. That's all. Anyway, you're really strong, aren't you? And yet, you don't boast or show off... Why, nobody even knows that you're the one calming Rogue Pokémon. You're an interesting one."'' ''"What's happening now? You're coming with me to find out!"''

Get the president away from this mess."'' ''"Well, isn't this an interesting turn of events. Though I'm not sure how I ended up protecting a scoundrel who won't even repay a debt..."'' '''''You're kinder than you act:''' "Give me a break! Nice people don't end up in my line of work."'' ''"Still, I can't just abandon folks who are in trouble. That's below even me. Come on now, I'll lend a hand—that makes two against one. I never said I'd play nice!"'' ''"That's what every defeated villain says. I guess originality wasn't their strong suit. My Scolipede is pretty strong though, eh?"'' ''"Don't worry about it. Couldn't have you getting injured—otherwise, we'd have to wait even longer to get our money. Not that we'd mind you racking up more interest. Besides, the Rust Syndicate deals in favors, not violence."'' ''"So, you there, Quasartico president lady... What that rabble was going on about—how the wild Pokémon are coming here because of Quasartico... Any truth to that?"'' ''"Yeah, I really hope that's all true. It would be a shame for something to happen to this city. I do love the place, in spite of everything I've been through here. Well, thanks for putting in a bit of overtime, kid. I'll be in touch."''

::''"Thanks for coming in. You are one interesting kid, aren't you? Running odd jobs to help a friend, calming down Rogue Pokémon... It's all pretty impressive. More than anything, I love that you can hold your own in a battle! So I've decided you're done working for us! I'll clear all the interest, as promised. But that's not actually why I called you here. You see, I wanted to have a proper, no-holds-barred battle with you."'' ''"Now isn't that interesting. You're my next opponent in the Z-A Royale. Fate itself is telling us we need to battle!"'' ''"So, do you have a Challenger's Ticket?"'' '''No:''' ''"Oh, that's too bad. Well then, go have some fun in the Z-A Royale. I'll be waiting here."'' ''"There's no way I'll lose!

::''"Suppose I really ought to thank Taunie for introducing me to an amusing Trainer like you. Now then, let's get this started. The best part of battle is facing a Trainer who's got talent... and sending them home crying!"'' ''"You're acquainted with Lysandre too, yeah? That's proof enough for me that you're no pushover! I want to experience every drop of your skill as a Pokémon Trainer!"'' '''Hey, I barely even know the guy:''' ''"Oh, come on. Let's not argue semantics."'' ''"People, Pokémon... We all get covered in the grime of the world as we go through life. This city needs people willing to get their hands dirty cleaning up all that mess! As a kid, I had no home, nowhere to go... until Lumiose gave me a place where I could belong. I aim to protect this city in any way I can... And for that, I need more influence!

Sounds like fun!: "No, forget I brought it up. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you're part of Team MZ. You need to stick with your crew.

To book a room, correct? Or what? Is Hotel Z too fancy for the likes of me?"'' ''"You really are huge, old man. You know, word on the street is you're three thousand years old."'' ''"Of course. Give me your best room, please."'' ''"Occupation...? I'll just put down "handyman." There, all filled out. Bet you didn't expect me to have such neat handwriting."'' ''"It's time for me to retire. A pleasant evening to you all."'' ''"Now, that was a surprisingly good night's sleep. Who's in charge of housekeeping?"'' ''"Very nice work, kid. The room was spotless—I could tell care went into every detail, every corner. You even prepared a special breakfast for Scolipede and the crew."'' ''"Here's what I owe you for my stay. And here's a tip for you, kid."'' ''"Don't worry about it. Everyone knows I'm a good tipper."'' ''"Our business here is done. Time to head back. It's been a pleasure.

It's the perfect place to repay you for the defeat you handed me the other day. I think I'd enjoy that."'' ''"That idiot... I'll need to teach him to keep his mouth shut. But well, me and my crew've gotten stronger. Scolipede and the rest are ready to go! Now then, let's have some fun!"'' ''"You're our last chance, Scolipede! But this is where the fun starts!"''

Still, battles with you are a good time. Swing by our office again if you want to have some fun."'' ''"Can it, Philippe. Don't make a scene in front of Lysandre. You're embarrassing me."''

==Trivia==
*During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>
*For his first four matches the only non-Poison-type Pokémon on Corbeau's team is his [[Gyarados]]. This references his respect for [[Lysandre]], whose ace Pokémon is also Gyarados.
*Corbeau is shown to be left-handed when he throws his Poké Ball.

'''Corbeau''' (Japanese: '''カラスバ''' ''Karasuba'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is the boss of the [[Rust Syndicate]] and participates in the [[Z-A Royale]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

He wears a [[Key Stone]] within a pin on his jacket.

==In the core series games==
He serves as the player's opponent in their [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match to Rank C.

=== History ===
{{Incomplete|section|needs=Needs information about Corbeau's role in the story}}
When Corbeau was young, he was struggling and was helped by [[Lysandre]]. Corbeau would come to idolize Lysandre because of this. Corbeau would later defeat [[Philippe]] in business and take control of the [[Rust Syndicate]] from him.

===Pokémon===
Corbeau keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] his {{p|Scolipede}} at the first opportunity, except during the first Multi Battle against the representative of the Lumiose Safety Group.

:: ''"Never really wanted the title of boss, I'll have you know. But Philippe there shoved it on me."''
:: ''"Bah, enough of that! We've got guests—this isn't the time to be discussing our internal affairs. And where are my manners. I've kept our guests standing this whole time! Have a seat on those sofas, why don't you? They're real'' ''comfy... Our guests all love ‘em. In fact, they never seem to want to leave ‘em... At least, not before agreeing to everything we ask.”''
:: ''"Now then, let's talk business. Like I said, though, you better make it worthwhile. Otherwise, who knows what may happen to you?"''

:: ''"Well, I take financial matters very seriously. I even personally warned her, you know. I straight up asked her, "Are you sure? You're not a pro—can you really make a video that good?" I told her she shouldn't be overpromising. But'' ''she did. So now what I want to know is... what are you two going to do about the situation?"''
::: '''That interest rate is just crazy!''': ''"What's this? Trying to go back on our terms? Sorry, kid, but a deal is a deal."'' ''“Listen, I'll tell you what. We can leave the matter of the £100,000 that Taunie borrowed between her and us. That way, you two only have to deal with all the extra interest she accrued.”''
:: ''“I'm not a monster. I know having this big old debt from Taunie hanging over your head can't be fun. And I doubt you can cough up the money, anyway. So I've got a proposal for you.”''
:: ''“Nothing too bad—I just want you to take care of some little jobs here and there for us. You do well, and I'll start reducing the interest that is owed to us."''
:: ''“Is this kid trying to test my patience? Ah, no, no. I shouldn't be losing my temper at innocent civilians. Look. I'm cutting you a deal here. Out of the goodness of my heart, I might add. Now, if you choose to reject my kind offer, then we'll just show up at the hotel and have a big old Pokémon showdown. Every single one of us. So, what do you say? I assume you'll accept?"''
::: '''No way:''' ''"What was that?"''
:: ''"Now, that's what I like to hear! Pleasure doing business with you."''
:: ''"Well, if you work really, really hard, maybe just one job! Or, I could keep giving you more work. It's up to me, really."''

'''''Nothing better to do, huh?:''' "Hmph. You must know there are a lot of wild Pokémon coming to Lumiose these days, right? Quasartico's holo-tech does a pretty good job of keeping them in set areas and out of trouble. But some make their way into the city and cause problems for people and other Pokémon. This trend has forced some Pokémon out of their usual habitats—and into our living spaces. It's tough not having a place where you belong. It was the same for me back when I was a kid."'' ''"Looks like you didn't take care of every last troublemaker, did you? Now that's sloppy work... So, what're you gonna do with that Pokémon?"'' ''"Well then. I've got your next job lined up already. I need you to help out one of my people. She'll be on the riverbank near the electrical substation. I need you to take care of some... undesirable elements down there."''

I know a guy showed up after you calmed one of those Rogue Pokemon recently. Who was he?"'' ''"You don't even know his real name, huh? Well, that gentleman's name is Lysandre. He is—or was—a very wealthy and generous businessman. I... don't know why he did what he did five years ago, or what he's been up to since. But if he's alive, that means I can repay him for everything he's done for me. Oh, but look at me, talking to myself. You better not breathe a word of this to anyone, understand? Otherwise, that interest... It might become a LOT more of an issue for you. Anyway, I have another job for you. We've got a little problem with some outsiders causing trouble on our turf. It might get nasty... but you should be able to handle it for me, right? You'll know what's up if you head to the battle court near Centrico Plaza. Go take care of it."''

Come on now, I'll lend a hand—that makes two against one. I never said I'd play nice!"'' ''"That's what every defeated villain says. I guess originality wasn't their strong suit. My Scolipede is pretty strong though, eh?"'' ''"Don't worry about it. Couldn't have you getting injured—otherwise, we'd have to wait even longer to get our money. Not that we'd mind you racking up more interest. Besides, the Rust Syndicate deals in favors, not violence."'' ''"So, you there, Quasartico president lady... What that rabble was going on about—how the wild Pokémon are coming here because of Quasartico... Any truth to that?"'' ''"Yeah, I really hope that's all true. It would be a shame for something to happen to this city. I do love the place, in spite of everything I've been through here. Well, thanks for putting in a bit of overtime, kid. I'll be in touch."''

You see, I wanted to have a proper, no-holds-barred battle with you."'' ''"Now isn't that interesting. You're my next opponent in the Z-A Royale. Fate itself is telling us we need to battle!"''

Team MZ must be a heck of a team—especially with you on it."'' ''"Though I don't think I'm done with you yet. I'll see you at Hotel Z."''

:''"Hello, hello! Anyone here?"'' ''"So this is Hotel Z, eh? Not bad at all."'' ''"Now, now, what's got you all on edge? Think about it: what do most people come to hotels for? To book a room, correct? Or what? Is Hotel Z too fancy for the likes of me?"'' ''"You really are huge, old man. You know, word on the street is you're three thousand years old."'' ''"Of course. Give me your best room, please."'' ''"Occupation...? I'll just put down "handyman." There, all filled out. Bet you didn't expect me to have such neat handwriting."'' ''"It's time for me to retire. A pleasant evening to you all."'' ''"Now, that was a surprisingly good night's sleep. Who's in charge of housekeeping?"'' ''"Very nice work, kid. The room was spotless—I could tell care went into every detail, every corner. You even prepared a special breakfast for Scolipede and the crew."'' ''"Here's what I owe you for my stay. And here's a tip for you, kid."'' ''"Don't worry about it. Everyone knows I'm a good tipper."'' ''"Our business here is done. Time to head back. It's been a pleasure. Let's both keep doing what we can for Lumiose, yeah?"''

:'''If spoken to:''' ''"Keep it up, kid."'' ''"You want to get this going? Then go let Lebanne know that you're ready."'' ''"So, I'm up against you. This is quite the venue. It's the perfect place to repay you for the defeat you handed me the other day. I think I'd enjoy that."'' ''"That idiot... I'll need to teach him to keep his mouth shut. But well, me and my crew've gotten stronger. Scolipede and the rest are ready to go! Now then, let's have some fun!"'' ''"You're our last chance, Scolipede! But this is where the fun starts!"'' ''"You and your Pokémon sure are entertaining, I'll give you that!"'' ''"Blast. Still not good enough, eh. Not even after I roped Philippe in to help me train up, embarrassed as I am to admit it. Still, battles with you are a good time. Swing by our office again if you want to have some fun."'' ''"Can it, Philippe. Don't make a scene in front of Lysandre. You're embarrassing me."''

==Trivia==
*During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>
*For his first four matches the only non-Poison-type Pokémon on Corbeau's team is his [[Gyarados]]. This references his respect for [[Lysandre]], whose ace Pokémon is also Gyarados.
*Corbeau is shown to be left-handed when he throws his Poké Ball.
