Plumeria/Quotes

These are Plumeria's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Sun and Moon

Akala Outskirts

• Before battle

"So, you're the one Gladion was talking about? ...Hmph. You don't look like anything special to me."

"I'm Plumeria."

"I help keep Team Skull together. I'm like a big sister to all these numskulls. You have realized what idiots all these guys are, right?"

"But don't you think some dummies are cute in their dumbness? You know what I mean, right? You picking on my cute, dumb brothers and sisters is really annoying me!"

• Upon being defeated

"Phooey."

• After being defeated

"Hmmph! You're pretty strong. I'll give you that. But mess with anyone in Team Skull again, and I'll show you how serious I can get."

Route 15

• Before battle

"Back so soon, hmm? I wasn't expecting you just yet."

"It takes these dumb Grunts way too long to deal with you kids..."

"So I guess it's my turn now!"

"What? I told you before. Next time you get in our way, I'm not holding anything back!"

• Upon being defeated

"Hmmph! I can't even stand myself right now!"

• After being defeated

"Hmmph. Guess you are pretty tough. Now I understand why my Grunts waste so much time battling kids."

"But if you want us to return the Pokémon, then you'll have to come to us. Alone. The boss is dying to meet you, hmmph! See you at our base in Po Town!"

Aether House (flashback)

"Not gonna disappear this time, huh? Seems like maybe the tall tales we heard about you were wrong."

"It's fine. There's nothing more for us to take from you."

"Which reminds me..."

"Maybe we're not the only ones around here who could be called Pokémon thieves. Is that what you are, huh? A thief?"

Ancient Poni Path

"That's enough. No one wants to see a sore loser."

"Hmmph. You, girlie... Lillie, right?"

"You really ready to do this finally?"

"To be honest, I've treated you really badly. Even if I was just doing the work the president told me to do, I shouldn't have done all that. Even if I apologize now, I know it's probably too late for you to forgive me, though."

"See, Guzma... he really likes the president. She's the only adult who ever seemed to see how strong he was."

"You know...deep down, you're kind of like the president. You've gone in a different direction, but I can tell you have the same strength in your convictions."

"Bring Guzma back, if you can. I know you've got no reason to help... but no one can make up for what they've done if they're gone."

"And you, <player>. Looks like you were special after all. You didn't just stand up to Team Skull. You even took on the darkness inside Aether. Looks like you're the real deal. The realest Pokémon Trainer I've seen around. Take good care of our little princess here. This is my way of saying sorry, OK? Take it. It's Poisonium Z."

"Oh yeah... you got your first stone directly from Tapu Koko, didn't you, <player>? You'd better take care of it. That's one special Z-Ring you've got there. A Trainer is only a Trainer because of the Pokémon with them. If you ever forget that, you'll bring the wrath of the tapu down upon yourself. You should be fine, though."

"I'm out of here."

Route 13

"That stupid Guzma... He really is a prime idiot, isn't he!"

Pokémon League

First challenge

• Before battle

"Those old dudes Molayne and Nanu somehow talked me into doing this. I'm starting from scratch as a Pokémon Trainer and doing it right this time. I've got a Z-Ring and everything, so I might actually be able to live up to their expectations."

• Upon being defeated

"Hunh! I can't even stand myself right now!"

• After being defeated

"Even when I give it my all, I'm nothing compared to you! Maybe my Pokémon and I need to go through more together to deepen our friendship. I'm out of here, Champ."

Subsequent challenges

• Before battle

"My team and I are battling for all the Pokémon we took out on our way here!"

• Upon being defeated

"Hunh! I can't even stand myself right now!"

• After being defeated

"I failed again...like I always do. I promised myself I wouldn't! I told myself I would never fail again! It's all right to feel a little jealous, right? How else am I supposed to get stronger? My team and I really did take out so many Pokémon to make it here!"

Battle Tree

• Before battle

"I don't believe that people understand each other if they battle, but I'll face you anyway."

• Upon being defeated

"Yeah, yeah, you win... You're really a big deal!"

• If the player is defeated

"I've got pride, too. I mean, I was in Team Skull."

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

Akala Outskirts

• Before battle

"So, you're the one Gladion was talking about? ...Hmph. You don't look like anything special to me."

Aether House (flashback)

"Not gonna disappear this time, huh? Seems like maybe the tall tales we heard about you were wrong."

"Leave her be. I like a girl who's not afraid to stand up for herself."

"And besides..."

"I don't know about calling someone a Pokémon thief just 'cause she wanted to help out a Pokémon when it was suffering..."

Ancient Poni Path

"You dummies. They're trying to save the boss, so what do you wanna get in their way for?!"

"Hmmph. You, girlie... Lillie, right?"

"You really ready to do this finally?"

"To be honest, I've treated you really badly. Even if I was just doing the work the president told me to do, I shouldn't have done all that. Even if I apologize now, I know it's probably too late for you to forgive me, though."

"See, Guzma... he really likes the president. She's the only adult who ever seemed to see how strong he was."

"You know...deep down, you're kind of like the president. You've gone in a different direction, but I can tell you have the same strength in your convictions."

"<Player>... Lillie... I know you've got no reason to help, but... But could you help us save Guzma?"

"That big dummy... I don't think he's even aware of it, but... Alola really means a lot to him. That's why he's doing something so reckless to try to save it. The Poison-type Z-Crystal... Maybe it'll help you somehow."

"I guess giving you this Z-Crystal is also kind of, what did you call it, helping each other? Oh yeah... You got your first stone directly from Tapu Koko, didn't you, <player>? You'd better take care of it. That's one special Z-Power Ring you've got there. A Trainer is only a Trainer because of the Pokémon with them. If you ever forget that, you'll bring the wrath of the tapu down upon yourself. You should be fine, though."

"I'm out of here."

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version

Ten Carat Hill

"I'm Plumeria—the Team Skull Admin."

"So you're Sun, huh? Hmmph. I guess you do look like a Trainer who can get things done."

"I got this! Settling the score for my cute little henchmen is part of my job!"

"If you're gonna give him advice, you better tell him how to deal with defeat!"

"You really think you can take out my adorable Pokémon with your Z-Power?"

• Upon being defeated

"Hmmph! I guess I just have to hold that loss."

• After being defeated

"What did you say your name was? Sun? You're quite the Trainer! You won't get off so easy next time, though! I hope you're looking forward to the next time we meet!"

Main Story Villain Arc - Alola - Protecting the Island

• Off-screen, as "???"

"Watch it, you two."

• After appearing, as Plumeria

"This festival's run by the foundation, and our promise still stands."

"Don't bug 'em too much."

"Sorry."

• An Unexpected Ally

"We haven't forgotten our promise to the Aether Foundation."

"We'll help you out!"

• Off-screen

"President Lusamine..."

• On-screen

"He was glad to have a chance to help you again."

Main Story Villain Arc - Final Chapter - Where Ideals Cross Paths

Story Event - Team Skull Crash Course

• On event map

"Just take things however slow or fast you want. I'll follow your lead."

• After reaching a checkpoint on event map

"Nice work, <player>. Yeah, I complimented you outright. Don't get used to it!"

• Team Skull Represent!

"Sorry you got dragged into this."

"Would you mind tagging along for this training of his?"

• Part 1: Team Skull's Big Bad Boss
• Off-screen, as "???"

"If that's your goal, then fighting like you did just now won't get you far."

• After appearing, as Plumeria

"How sweet. Nice to see you, too. I was just passing through and heard a commotion, so I thought I'd come see what's up."

"And what should I find but you bullying this little girl."

"You oughta be ashamed, picking on weaker people like that. What kind of look is that for the leader of Team Skull?"

"Oh, wow. You're with the Hoenn Elite Four, huh, old-timer?"

"But the little girl's another story, isn't she?"

"I swear. That's our boss—delicate as a hammer."

"Still, he's got a point."

"If you wanna change, you'd better face your goal head-on, or you'll miss out on the important stuff."

"I think I know what you've got in mind. Time for a Pokémon battle, right?"

• Part 2: Team Skull's New Apprentice?

You're both so strong!: "Look who's talking, <player>. You weren't so bad yourself."

"Personal policy, huh? First I've heard of it."

"Why not make an exception just this once?"

"Y'know, she may be different in a lot of key ways, but..."

"she kind of reminds me of our cute numskulls back home. It wouldn't feel right to just leave her in the lurch, would it?"

"Hmm. Seems like pure and simple gratitude knocks him off-balance."

"Yeah yeah, Salazzle and I have already followed you this far. We might as well keep goin' till you're satisfied."

• Part 3: A Team Skull Beatdown!

"You big dummy. What good is just watching?"

"Tell me, Liza. Do you know the difference between how you battle and how we battle?"

"How about you, <player>? Any thoughts?"

We clicked perfectly!: "You, me, and Guzma did?"

"Well, that idea's both nice and troubling."

"Uh, that doesn't sound like quite the right attitude."

"But hey, if you're ready, then bring it!"

• Part 4: Team Skull's...Kindness?!

"Don't mention it. We got a good battle out of it, so it was a good deal for us, too."

"Right, Guzma?"

"So basically, she quit sweating the small stuff and fought without doubts eating at her."

"But besides, you've got someone right nearby that understands you pretty well, right, Liza?"

"Oh, c'mon. What about your partner?"

"I bet Lunatone wants to be a source of support for you, too, not just the other way around."

"Don't forget that!"

"Good. You gonna be all right now?"

"Well, isn't that nice, oh wise mentor?"

• Downtime with Plumeria

"Oh, it's you, <player>. Fancy meeting you here."

"I heard they've got some pretty tasty cocoa at a café just past here."

"I was just on my way to try it. How's that sound?"

"Feel free to tag along, if you want."

• If spoken to in the first area

"Wow. They've got a good range of shops here, huh?"

"With this many options, it's easy to get distracted from what you came for."

• When speaking to the Beauty

"Hmm. Yeah, I guess it couldn't hurt."

"What's up, <player>? You want to try it, too?"

"Or do you have a problem with me looking at skin care stuff?"

• When speaking to the Beauty again, off-screen

"It was pretty nice, I guess."

• When tapping the Stufful

"Aren't Stufful cute? They're like stuffed toys!"

You've got a thing for Stufful, huh?: "Yeah, so what if I do?"

Do you like stuffed toys a lot?: "They're fine. I wouldn't say "a lot.""

• When tapping the Stufful again, off-screen

"Still...Stufful sure are cute."

"It's too bad they don't like being touched."

• When speaking to the Preschooler

"Geez, you've got some lungs on you. What're you so upset about?"

"Uh-oh. Are you lost?"

"Ah. So you'll be able to find who you're looking for if we get you to the Pokémon Center?"

"*sigh* Well, we can't just leave you here, can we? Come on—let's bring you back."

• When spoken to in the second area

"Just try not to get lost again, all right?"

"Tch. Cute, little troublemaker..."

Looks like we ended up back at home base.: "*sigh* It's fine. We can always try to go for cocoa some other time."

Still want that cocoa?: "*sigh* I'm good. We'll try to go again sometime soon."

"Oh well. We got a pretty fun walk out of it, right, <player>?"

"Anyway, see you around."

• Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover

"Well, if it isn't <player>."

"Guzma's not picking fights with you, is he?"

"Ever since he arrived on Pasio, he's been getting more and more zealous about training."

"He's like an "on" switch with no "off." Once he's flipped, there's no stopping him."

Guzma's amazing!: "Well, there's a reason he became the boss of Team Skull."

"He's actually a pretty caring guy when it comes to that."

Guzma's so kind!: "Is that how he seems to you? Well, I guess he can be pretty caring."

"Same goes for my Salazzle, come to think of it. Well, not quite the same way as Guzma, but..."

"Salazzle tend to live with and command big groups of male Salandit in the wild."

"Between that and the poisonous gas they give off, at first I thought I'd have a tough time connecting with this fine lady here."

"But that hasn't been the case at all. We've been the best of partners."

"Y'know, I've heard stories about Salazzle showing up suddenly at a gathering of people and Pokémon dancing together..."

"and even striking a big, dramatic pose at the end."

"Hehe. Pretty bizarre, right?"

That's so cute!/They sound pretty enthusiastic!: "You got that right. There's something so cute about how enthusiastic Salazzle can get."

"There's a lot about 'em you'd never suspect unless you got to know 'em well."

"Guess it just goes to show, you can't judge a book by its cover...be it a person or a Pokémon!"

• Advice from Big Sister
• Off-screen

"Training time, Liza? Looks like you're working hard."

• After appearing

"Nah, I just happened to be passing through."

"Hmm... Well, if you mean getting better at Pokémon battles, that's just a matter of practice. Anyone could probably do that."

"Guzma definitely isn't perfect. He's had to get over a lot of obstacles to get where he is. There've been some he couldn't get over, too."

"But all of that helped make him who he is."

"So get out there, have all kinds of experiences, and keep on growing up. You'll come out the other side a stronger person."

"Well, how am I supposed to say no to that?"

• A Troubled Tate
• Off-screen

"Hey. Tate, right? What're you doing here?"

• After appearing

"Uhhh, you weren't exactly hidden. You've been trying to keep an eye on Liza, right?"

"It makes sense that you'd be worried about her. What did you think from watching her?"

"Sounds like you've got a good bond with your sister."

"Remember how that feels and hold onto it, you hear me? Don't take it for granted."

"Fine by me. I'm up for a battle anytime you want."

"Not sure how Guzma will feel about it...but give him a try anyway."

• Off-screen

"Just don't be surprised if he's like, "Big bad Guzma's sick of babysitting little brats," or something like that."

• A Kindred Spirit?

"No, no, it's my bad— Wait a second."

"Aren't you Lorelei? From the Indigo Elite Four?"

"And that must be your Lapras..."

"... ... ..."

"Oh, kinda, I guess... I mean, I've got a stuffed toy one, but I've barely ever seen the real deal."

"Really? You and me?"

"That was pretty fun. You've got yourself a good partner Pokémon."

• Ticket to Alola

"Y'know, Guzma, I've been wondering... What'd you come to Pasio for?"

"You out to conquer the PML?"

"Sounds like exactly the kind of thing you'd do."

"Well, I'm not really interested in the PML, either."

"But Pasio seemed like a pretty interesting place to spend some time."

"But still, Guzma..."

"Anytime you feel like heading back to Alola, I'll go with you, just so you know."

"I'm sure our little Team Skull brothers and sisters can't wait for us to get back."

"Well, when we do get around to heading back...wanna come with, <player>?"

"Pasio's got its charms, but Alola's not half-bad, either."

"You definitely wouldn't lack for Pokémon battles."

It sounds like fun!: "Haha. Yeah, I think you'd have a great time in Alola."

"I'll make sure to bring you out there sometime."

• Appreciating Alola

"What's all the ruckus?"

"What are we, statues?"

Guzma's Battle Prep

• Cut from the Same Cloth

"Ugh... What an annoying attack."

"They aren't called Ultra Beasts for nothing, huh."

"So you've heard? I thought that Pokémon was your partner."

"I can't believe you're battling with a Pokémon that you don't even know anything about."

"Must be nice, having such a one-track mind."

"W-wait a sec! We need a break."

"Ugh... Not all of us have endless stamina like you two."

"Why are you so gung ho about this, anyway?"

"It's not like you. When did you start taking events seriously?"

"You mean Buzzwole?"

"I guess that makes sense."

"Heh. What happened to all that gusto you had earlier, huh?"

• Bring Out the Best

"Ugh, seriously? You still have the energy for another round?"

"Hmph. They're just a pair of clumsy numskulls."

"Get stronger so you don't lose to anyone."

"That's my advice."

• What Roxie Wants to Express

"Honestly, I'm not that interested."

"But..."

"Since I was asked to do a job, I'll do it right."

"Huh..."

"Honestly, your feelings just come off to me as idealistic talk..."

"But...I don't hate it."

"I guess it might not be so bad to motivate the grunts with your music."

"Yeah, sure. I'll sing with the same feelings as you."

• Piers the Melancholy

"Should have expected this from a professional. We're barely keeping up."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Plumeria

"Thought that if you picked a two-on-one fight, you'd have an easy time winning? That's just pathetic."

"Doesn't look like you could take him/her on anyway."

"That's right. So let's end this nonsense."

"Get lost before things get painful for you."

"What? You look like you've got something to say."

"All right, all right. It's fine or whatever."

"By the way, employees of that Pokémon Center need help lugging in supplies."

"Since you've obviously got some free time, go help them out."

Thanks.: "Guess I could've stayed quiet and seen how you handle yourself in a fight, but oh well."

"Not like there'd be a point to watching a battle I already know the outcome of, though."

Thanks for helping me out, Big Sis!: "Wh-what? Don't tell me you're going to start calling me that, too?"

"The Grunts in Team Skull treat me like their big sister. I'm just not used to hearing it from you."

"Numskulls like that have too much energy and don't know what to do with it."

"That's why it's good to give them a way to get that energy out. Doesn't have to be a battle, either."

"I just happened to remember that I heard the Pokémon Center staff needed help moving some stock."

"Seems like a perfect fit for those two, don't you think? They might even earn a little cash for their work, too."

Why go that far for them?/Do you like taking care of people?: "Who knows... Though they do remind of the guys in Team Skull."

"Just a bunch of dummies in their dumbness."

Sync Pair Story - Grotle's Evolution

• Before battle

"Huh? Do I know you? What do you want?"

"You're rarin' to go, aren't you? All right, I can throw down."

"But you'd better be ready for this!"

• After being defeated

"You're not too bad. That was fun."

"Looks like your partner is gonna get even stronger!"

Pokémon Center

• During sync background preview

"Don't you think some dummies are cute in their dumbness?"

• Random conversation

"I've been walking around town a lot since I got to Pasio."

"When I walk around in Alola looking like this, people get scared of me."

"That doesn't happen as much here. It's a pretty refreshing feeling."

• If spoken to again

"Before, I'd always have to do annoying work, like dealing with whatever dumb thing the Grunts did."

"I never had a moment to myself, but now I've got a ton of time to enjoy doing whatever I want."

"I wonder how those numskulls are doing... It's not like I'm really worried or anything."

• Random conversation

"The poisonous gas my partner Pokémon Salazzle releases can be used to make perfume."

"As it is, it's dangerous, but if you dilute it, it becomes a great-smelling perfume."

"Hm? What kind of scent does it have? You're too young to be interested in things like that."

• If spoken to again

"You think it's weird that a Poison-type Pokémon can make perfume? That's what's so interesting about Salazzle."

"Everyone being different is what makes things interesting. That's true for people and Pokémon."

• Random conversation

"There's a proper strategy for every Pokémon in battle."

"For example, being poisoned slowly drains a Pokémon of its energy."

"There's more to battling than just using brainless force. Battling with your head is good, too."

• If spoken to again

"You battle pretty well. It's impressive. Kind of dignified."

"I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of Trainer you become."

• Random conversation

"The guys in Team Skull just don't know how to live their lives. Just dummies doing dumb things."

"They've just wandered and gotten a little bit lost for a time, is all."

"It's my duty to protect them and keep them on the right path."

• If spoken to again

"Don't know if that really makes me a leader or whatever, though."

"I think it's more that I'm just nice enough to keep Team Skull together so they don't go off on their own and do anything stupid."

• Random conversation

"Team Skull's completely full of idiots."

"But don't you think some dummies are cute in their dumbness?"

"For some reason, I just can't abandon those guys."

• If spoken to again

"You seemed pretty boring when we first met, <player>."

"But it turns out you're strong and you've got some serious guts."

"Don't get the wrong idea—mess with anyone in Team Skull, and I'll show you how serious I can get."

• Random conversation

"Pasio's towns sure have a lot of different shops."

"I'm really interested in the makeup and plushies you can't find around Alola."

"What? Got a problem with me being into that kind of stuff?"
