Quotes

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

  • Before battle
"Welcome, my name is Glacia of the Elite Four. I've traveled from afar to Hoenn so that I may hone my icy skills. But all I have seen are challenges by weak Trainers and their Pokémon. What about you? It would please me to no end if I could go all out against you!"
  • When defeated
"You and your Pokémon... How hot your spirits burn! The all-consuming heat overwhelms. It's no surprise that my icy skills failed to harm you."
  • After being defeated
"Advance to the next room. And there, confirm the truly fearsome side of the Pokémon League."

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Glacia

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, she is one of the Hoenn Elite Four who struggled to reawaken Registeel, Regirock and Regice, so that Groudon and Kyogre's destruction wouldn't bring about the end of Hoenn. She traveled to the Island Cave to try and free Regice, but was unsuccessful even with her powers until Steven succeeded in decoding the Braille message needed for the Regis' resurrection. With Phoebe, she was put in charge of Regice and labored days on end to stop the calamity in Sootopolis City before Steven died from the strain of controlling the Regis and taking command of the 6-men group. This causes the numerous Beldum he had fill the remaining slots with Sapphire's Relicanth and Wailord, and the golems themselves fled.
