Caitlin/Quotes

These are Caitlin's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver

• After winning a battle in the Battle Castle

"... Darach! CP for this Trainer at once!"

Pokémon Black and White

Initial battle

• Before battle

"Who are you? How impudent you are to disturb my sleep. Hmf... You appear to possess a combination of strength and kindness. Very well. Make your best effort not to bore me with a yawn-inducing battle. Clear?"

• During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)

"I get the feeling a wonderful time is about to start. I'm excited!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"Even at a time like this, I should stay cool and collected..."

• During battle (less than half HP)

"For the sake of the Pokémon that believe in me, I will never give up."

• When defeated

"As a Trainer, you are both excellent and elegant. Your Pokémon have class. I am very pleased to have battled you."

• After being defeated

"You haven't faced all of the members of the Elite Four yet, have you? Don't concern yourself about me. Go on ahead."

• General afterword

"In the past, when I battled, the force of my emotions shook me greatly. When my power awoke, I came close to destroying everything around me. That weak person no longer exists... Still, sometimes, my determination fails. Always, I aspire to wrap up a victory with elegance and grace. I invite you to be my opponent again in the future, if you wish."

• If defeated last

"Somehow, you managed to defeat the entire Elite Four of the Pokémon League. Check the statue in the center of the plaza for the way to the Champion's room."

Rematch

• Before battle

"Who's there? Who is so uncouth as to disturb my sleep? Hmf... It's you again. Still, you possess that combination of kindness and strength. Yet you seem stronger than before... Do be sure not to bore me with a snooze-inducing battle, is that clear?"

• During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)

"A wonderful time is about to start. I like this moment..."

• After sending out last Pokémon

"I will stay cool and collected, even though this isn't going well..."

• During battle (less than half HP)

"I will not give up...for the sake of my Pokémon that believe in me."

• When defeated

"As you have always been...or even more than ever...you are an elegant and excellent Trainer. Your Pokémon also have class. I am very pleased to have battled you."

• After being defeated

"Alas! Even with the knowledge and skill passed down in my family of Trainers, I still can't win. The reason I came here in the first place was to encounter Trainers like you..."

• General afterword

"In the past, my untrained heart made my power run wild. I was forbidden to battle. All I craved then was to experience the pure excitement of battling like this. Hee hee... Although I'm embarrassed, I can't help smiling right now."

• If defeated last

"You have defeated the Pokémon League's Elite Four. You have earned the right to proceed to the Champion's room. Making an entrance is not the point. Once you're there, you'll need to unleash your power to the fullest!"

Cynthia's villa

"Having everything go your way is the road to disillusionment. Knowing the difference between what's impossible and what's possible... I used to know someone who talked about that a lot."

"No matter how hard I try, I cannot defeat Cynthia. Before, I would have exploded with rage. Now, I have the tranquility to reflect on my performance to see how I can improve."

"Tell me something. Are you familiar with Battle Castles? You can find them in Johto and Sinnoh, so challenge them to improve yourself."

"This is my villa. I have villas all over the world, and I allow Cynthia to use them. You are welcome to come and play whenever you wish."

"Having no psychic powers at all is better than having psychic powers you can't control."

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Initial battle

• Before battle

"It's me who appeared when the flower opened up. You, standing over there... You look like a Pokémon Trainer with strength and kindness. What I look for in my opponent is superb strength... I'm counting on you!"

• During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)

"I have a feeling this battle will give my Pokémon a chance to go all out!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"I can't believe it's come to this! I must have gotten complacent."

• During battle (less than half HP)

"Ohh, that's it! I'll go all out of it if I have to win!"

• When defeated

"You and your Pokémon are both excellent and elegant. To have been able to battle against such a splendid team... My Pokémon and I learned a lot! I offer you my thanks."

• After being defeated

"You haven't faced all of the members of the Elite Four yet, have you? Don't concern yourself about me. Go on ahead."

• General afterword

"Winning is important, but what's more important is whether I've done better this time. Because if I can't surpass myself, I can't get close to my ideals. I want to improve and win more elegantly, so I invite you to be my opponent again in the future, if you wish."

• If defeated last

"Somehow, you managed to defeat the entire Elite Four of the Pokémon League. Check the statue in the center of the plaza for the way to the Champion's room."

• After being defeated

"Alas! Even with the knowledge and skill passed down in my family of Trainers, I still can't win. The reason I came here in the first place was to encounter Trainers like you..."

• General afterword

"When I battle you, I can't help but smile... Because I was able to improve myself, and because you're an excellent Trainer. I want to improve and win more elegantly, so I invite you to be my opponent again in the future, if you wish."

• If defeated last

"You have defeated the Pokémon League's Elite Four. You have earned the right to proceed to the Champion's room. Making an entrance is not the point. Once you're there, you'll need to unleash your power to the fullest!"

Cynthia's villa

"This is my villa. I have villas all over the world, and I allow Cynthia to use them. You are welcome to come and play whenever you wish."

"Tell me something. Are you familiar with Battle Castles? You can find them in Johto and Sinnoh, so challenge them to improve yourself."

"I used to own Battle Castles. Then I became one of Unova's Elite Four. Will I be a Champion somewhere next? You never know!"

"Darach is as neat as always. He came all the way to Unova, cleaned the villa, and then went home..."

"Having no psychic powers at all is better than having psychic powers you can't control."

Story Event - The Importance of Elegance

• Heart of Elegance

"Well, fancy running into you here, <player>. Lovely battle."

"I saw you fighting out of the corner of my eye as I was walking into town, and then I found I couldn't take my eyes off of you."

"I do have to point out one thing, though... You could stand to win your battles with a touch more elegance, if I had any say in the matter."

Regardless of choice: "A Trainer must always remain calm and collected. We must present an image of dignity, refinement, and grace."

"That, my dear, is elegance... Once you find peace and gain a bit of emotional leeway, you begin to see things you couldn't before."

"If you wish to fully utilize your skills in battle, elegance is of the utmost importance."

"I think you may have misheard us. I wasn't talking about fashion..."

"I was just teaching my dear friend here that elegance is of the utmost importance when it comes to Pokémon battling."

"Very well. Perhaps I can show you both how grace and elegance can elevate one's prowess in battle..."

• All about Focus!

"Well done, both of you. That battle was quite splendid."

"I don't think I would choose the word "elegant" to describe you in that battle..."

"but you certainly had an air of strength and toughness about you. I could feel your energy across the battlefield."

"Tee-hee! It's a style that suits you and your partner very well, I think."

"I used to be unable to control my own emotions or the psychic powers I possess."

"Whenever I lost a battle, they would spin entirely out of control... So much so that I was once forbidden from battling at all."

"All of that changed when I began interacting with Psychic-type Pokémon. They are able to manipulate their power at will, you see."

"With their help, I learned to keep my negative emotions at bay. I learned how to remain calm, elegant, and at peace in any battle."

"I take great pride in my elegance, but I must admit that your focus has piqued my interest quite a bit, Candice."

• The Beat! The Passion!

"Well, <player>? Would you say that was an elegant battle?"

Very elegant, Caitlin!: "Naturally. I do my best to make every battle as graceful and refined as an elegant dance."

"Well, you see..."

"I'm interested to hear what you have to say. Do go on."

"Passionate beats... Um... You've lost me, I'm afraid."

• Strength and Kindness

"I wouldn't say that. It's true that we won the battle this time..."

"but you certainly made an impression! Your attacks were like a raging rapid, threatening to knock me down at any moment."

"As a matter of fact, I believe I did feel it. And after this last battle with you, I think I finally understand..."

"When it comes to Pokémon battling, each and every Trainer has their own belief about what is most important--it's individual to them."

"And I think that's lovely. It's our differences that make us so interesting."

"In other words, a Trainer should never push others to follow their own personal methods... even if they believe they are correct."

"<Player>... It didn't really come up in our conversation before, but after what I witnessed today..."

"I would say that you seem to value kindness more than anything else when it comes to Pokémon battling."

"You shine with both kindness and strength in every battle you compete in... I saw that very clearly today."

"I should thank you, <player>. For helping me learn a valuable lesson today."

I should be the one thanking you!: "You're too kind. Really, I feel as though you all have shown me an entirely new world."

It was a lot of fun!: "Indeed. Really, I feel as though you all have shown me an entirely new world."

"Something tells me I'm going to have very sweet dreams tonight, thanks to you. I can't wait to see what I dream about..."

Story Event - Family Ties

• Pasio's Elegant Ladies

"I really enjoyed battling together."

Pokémon Center

• Upon being summoned in sync pair scout

"Do your best not to bore me with a yawn-inducing battle."

• Random conversation

"Pasio is such a warm and comfortable island, isn’t it? Quite amazing, really."

"You know, if I could have a new villa built here, it would be just perfect."

"With my own villa, I could enjoy the city and natural landscapes here at my leisure."

"You know what... I think I’ll consult my butler, just in case."

• If spoken to again

"If I ever do build a villa here, I’ll be sure to invite you."

"Hmm... For the interior, I’m picturing royal red carpets and a collection of art pieces from around the world."

"I can decorate with some of Reuniclus’s favorite things as well. That way we can both enjoy the space."

• Random conversation

"A long time ago, my psychic abilities used to manifest whenever I lost control of my emotions. It caused trouble for the people around me..."

"Nowadays, I feel much stronger and I'm able to control those outbursts."

"Back then, I was still so immature..."

"But you know, I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't experienced those things in my past."

• If spoken to again

"Changing something about yourself... It's not an easy task to accomplish, by any means."

"But if there's something you'd like to change or improve, I'll be rooting for you."

"If I can do it...I'm certain you can, too."

• Random conversation

"My Reuniclus likes to cause mischief with her psychic abilities."

"Sometimes she moves the furniture around in my room without telling me... She does that quite a lot, actually."

"I'd love to be able to rearrange my furniture with mysterious psychic powers."

• If spoken to again

"Although, every time I try to rearrange my furniture or clean my room myself, my butler puts a stop to it."

"He insists that me trying to clean is no different from my Reuniclus causing mischief... Can you believe that?"

• Random conversation

"When I couldn't fall asleep at night, my Gothitelle used to use her mysterious powers to create beautiful starry skies for me."

"It was like having my own planetarium in my bedroom... Such precious memories."

"Every moment I'm with my Pokémon is another beautiful memory. I gain more and more of them each day."

• If spoken to again

"I think we overdid it a little bit that night we created enough starry sky to cover the largest room in the manor."

"My butler smiled when he saw it, but I'm quite sure he was shocked by the entire matter."

"Gothitelle and I immediately returned the room to its previous state, but that was sort of fun in a way, too."

• Random conversation

"I haven’t yet reached what I would call my perfect self."

"But someday I will fulfill that dream... I’ll become the most elegant and most graceful and refined Trainer of all."

"And when I do, I’d like you to witness it."

"Remember that, <player>."

• If spoken to again

"If you have a goal in mind and it’s in my power to help you achieve it, I’m more than happy to lend a hand."

"But triumphing over the final hurdle is something you must do with your own strength..."

"Grasp onto victory with your own two hands, or it will fall apart before you know it."

• Random conversation

"Where do you think you're going? Are you just going to abandon me here?"

"I was hoping you and I could have a Pokémon battle..."

"Tee-hee! I'm only teasing. I just love seeing that confused look on your face."

• If spoken to again

"I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to battle with you, you know."

"But I also want you to face all sorts of other Trainers first. I'd like to see just how strong you can become."

"When the day comes and you're ready, I'd like for you and I to have a grand battle... Is that too much to ask? Am I being selfish?"

• Random conversation

"I’ve noticed that my mood tends to swing in a certain direction whenever I’m around you."

"Oh! But I’m not talking about mood swings in the wild, uncontrollable sense. Perhaps that wasn’t the proper word to use."

"It’s more like...when I’m around you, I find it easier to express how I’m feeling to other people and Pokémon."

• If spoken to again

"Sometimes, considering other people’s feelings can actually make you a stronger person yourself, huh."

"I’m not sure I would have ever realized that on my own had I not met you."

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Good day, <player>. You've got a lot of nerve, keeping me waiting this long, you know..."

"Tee-hee! I'm only teasing. I hope you have a lovely day today."

• Special log-in conversation (morning)

"My, you’re awfully energetic in the morning! Could that be the secret to your strength?"

• Special log-in conversation (morning)

"What a calm and refreshing morning. I think today will be a good day."

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon)

"Hello there. I’m so bored, I’m falling asleep... Perhaps I’m in need of a Pokémon battle or two."

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon)

"Good day. Wonderful weather, isn’t it? I was just contemplating heading out for a walk."

• Special log-in conversation (evening)

"Good evening. The day goes by so fast, doesn’t it? Once you’ve finished everything, you should rest, too."

• Special log-in conversation (evening)

"Oh my, is it dark already? Don’t push yourself too hard."

• Special gift conversation

"Do you have a moment? I have something nice I'd like to give you."

"It's something I think you should have... I hope you find it useful."

"Reuniclus often finds items like these for me."

"She has a keen eye—notices things much more quickly than I do."
