These are Clair's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Gold and Silver

Blackthorn Gym

  • Before battle
"I am Clair. The world's best dragon master. I can hold my own against even the Pokémon League's Elite Four. Do you still want to take me on? ...Fine. Let's do it! As a trainer, I will use my full power against any opponent!"
  • Being defeated
"I lost? I don't believe it. There must be some mistake..."
  • After being defeated
"I won't admit this. I may have lost, but you're still not ready for the Pokémon League. I know. You should take the dragon user challenge. Behind this Gym is a place called Dragon's Den. Go and bring me the Dragon Fang from deep inside the Den. That is the test to be accepted as a true dragon user. If you can do that, I will accept you as a worthy trainer. Until then, I won't give you a Badge."
  • If the player does not have Dragon Fang in their inventory
"What's the matter? This errand won't be hard for you, unless your victory was a fluke."
  • If the player already has Dragon Fang in their inventory (requires trading)
"You did not get that at Dragon's Den. Trying to cheat like that… I'm disappointed in you."

Dragon's Den

"All right. I recognize your true power. This Badge is yours."
"RisingBadge will enable your Pokémon to use the move for climbing waterfalls. Also, all Pokémon will recognize you as a trainer and obey your every command without question. I also want you to have this TM."
"That contains DragonBreath. No, it doesn't have anything to do with my breath. If you don't want it, you don't have to take it. So, you've collected all the Badges. Your destination is the Pokémon League in Indigo Plateau. Do you know how to get there? From here, go to New Bark Town. Then surf east. The route there is very tough. Don't you dare lose at the Pokémon League! If you do, I'll feel even worse about having lost to you!

Pokémon Crystal

Blackthorn Gym

  • Before battle
"I am Clair. The world's best dragon master. I can hold my own against even the Pokémon League's Elite Four. Do you still want to take me on? ...Fine. Let's do it! As a Gym Leader, I will use my full power against any opponent!"
  • Being defeated
"I lost? I don't believe it. There must be some mistake..."
  • After being defeated
"I won't admit this. I may have lost, but you're still not ready for the Pokémon League. I know. You should take the dragon user challenge. Behind this Gym is a place called Dragon's Den. There is a small shrine at its center. Go there. If you can prove that you've lost your lazy ideals, I will recognize you as a trainer worthy of a Gym Badge!"
  • After clearing Dragon's Den, if left without receiving the TM
"You've kept me waiting! Here! Take this!"
"That contains DragonBreath. No, it doesn't have anything to do with my breath. If you don't want it, you don't have to take it. What's the matter? Aren't you headed to the Pokémon League? Don't you know where it is? From here, go to New Bark Town. Then surf east. The route there is very tough. Don't you dare lose at the Pokémon League! If you do, I'll feel even worse about having lost to you! Give it everything you got."

Dragon's Den

"So how did it go? I guess there's no point in asking. You did fail? .................. ...What? You passed?" (steps back) "That can't be!" (steps back more) "You're lying! Even I haven't been approved!"
"I-I understand..."
"Here, this is the RisingBadge... Hurry up! Take it!"
"RisingBadge will enable your Pokémon to use the move for climbing waterfalls. Also, all Pokémon will recognize you as a trainer and obey your every command without question. I also want you to have this TM."
"Wait!"
"I'm sorry about this. Here, take this as my apology."
"That contains DragonBreath. No, it doesn't have anything to do with my breath. If you don't want it, you don't have to take it. What's the matter? Aren't you going on to the Pokémon League? Do you know how to get there? From here, go to New Bark Town. Then Surf east to the Pokémon League. The route there is very tough. Don't you dare lose at the Pokémon League! If you do, I'll feel even worse about having lost to you! Give it everything you got."

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Blackthorn Gym

  • Before battle
"I am Clair. The world's best Dragon-type master. I can hold my own against even the Pokémon League's Elite Four. Do you still want to take me on? ...Fine. Let's do this! As a Gym Leader, I will use my full power against any opponent!"
  • After sending out last Pokémon
"One Pokémon left? This is where the real battle begins!"
  • When last Pokémon is at critical health
"You're kidding, right? I'm supposed to win! I already decided!"
  • Being defeated
"I lost? ... I don't believe it. There must be some mistake..."
  • After being defeated
"I won't concede this. I might have lost, but you're still not ready for the Pokémon League. I know. You should take the Dragon-master challenge. Behind this Gym is a place called Dragon's Den. There is a small shrine at its heart. Go there. If you can prove that you've lost your lazy ideals, I will admit you are a Trainer worthy of a Gym Badge!"
"What's the matter? Is it too much to expect of you?"
  • After clearing Dragon's Den, if left without receiving the TM
"You've kept me waiting! Here! Take this!"
"That contains Dragon Pulse. Well, Dragon Pulse is kind of...umm... Never mind! It's a huge energy of some kind. If you don't want it, you don't have to take it."
"What's the matter? Aren't you headed to the Pokémon League? Your face...it tells me you have some unfinished business... Wait a sec! You came from New Bark Town where Professor Elm's Lab is, right? You may want to go back to New Bark Town. Whatever you have to face from now, it'll be more difficult. But don't you dare give up! If you do, I'll feel even worse about having lost to you! ... Give it your all."
  • If the Bag is full
"What is this? You don't have room?"

Dragon's Den

  • After the player has passed the test
"So how did it go? I guess there's no point in asking. You did fail? ... ...What? You passed? That can't be! You're lying! Even I haven't been approved!"
"I... I understand... Here, this is the Rising Badge... Hurry up! Take it!"
"The Rising Badge will enable your Pokémon to use the move for climbing waterfalls. Also, all Pokémon will know you as a Trainer and obey your every command without question."
"... ..."
"Wait! I'm sorry about this. Here, take this as my apology."
"That contains Dragon Pulse. Well, Dragon Pulse is kind of er... never mind! It's huge energy of some kind. If you don't want it, you don't have to take it. What's the matter? If you are headed to the Pokémon League, go back to New Bark Town and Surf along Route 27. Your face...is telling me you have some unfinished business... Come on! Whatever you have to face from now, don't you dare give up! If you do, I'll feel even worse about having lost to you! Give it your all."
  • If the Bag is full
"Oh? You don't have any room for this... I'm going back to the Gym, so make room, then come see me there."
"Well then, you over there! Will you team up with me?"
  • Being defeated
"Oh, I see..."
  • After being defeated
"I must excuse myself. ...<player>, it was a fun battle. That goes for you, too, wise guy."

Fighting Dojo

  • Before battle
"...You are here. Now let's battle!"
  • After being defeated
"Way to go. ... Now give it your all!"

Pokégear Registering (Dragon's Den)

"It's still early, and you've got nothing to do already? I may have time to listen to you. If you insist, I can exchange numbers, too!"
"I can battle you on Friday nights if you insist!"

Pokégear Phone

  • Clair calling the player:
"Yes, it's Clair here... Oh, hi. How are you doing? Lately there seems to be some gossip running through town that I am the latest name in fashion. Well, if I'm that cool that people can't stop talking about me, I can totally understand that sentiment."
"Yes, it's Clair here... Oh, hi. How are you doing? Lately some people from the Radio Station came around, wanting to do a piece on me, or something. My fans definitely won't want to miss watching that! Oh, no! I was confused! It's radio! All those people turning in, and they won't be able to see my glorious face! What about TV? Why hasn't a TV crew come to do a piece on me?!"
  • Calling her:
"Nice to hear from you. How is everything with you? I'm good. What's your point? If you want to battle me again, fine. Friday nights, take it or leave it. Call me then... Maybe I'll answer..."
  • On Friday nights:
"Nice to hear from you. How is everything with you? I'm good. Well, well, you called at the right time! You want to battle again? I'm up for it."
No: "What in the world? Are you trying to make fun of me?!"
Yes: "Ha ha ha. It's great that you're stepping up. I'll be waiting for you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City!"
"Yes, it's Clair here... Oh, hi. How are you doing? Keep in mind we're meeting at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City. It's a promise I'm waiting to keep..."
"Nice to hear from you. How is everything with you? I'm good. I'm waiting for you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City... Don't wuss out."

  • After being defeated
"I lost? I don't believe it. There must be some mistake... ...You can brag about it. Because you beat me!"
  • After winning
"What I was missing until now... Battling with you made me realize what it is. That's how I feel. You're a mysterious Trainer."
  • In the lobby, after the tournament
"What?! Come to brag about your victory? Fine. I'll say it to you. Congratulations! You were really tough! There! Are you happy now?"

In the side series

Pokémon Stadium 2

  • Before battle
"I am Clair, the dragon user. You're challenging me?"

  • Sending out a Pokémon
"<Pokémon>!"
"Get back, <Pokémon>!"

"That should do."
"Forgive me."
  • Successfully freezing the player's Pokémon
"The outcome is clear now."
  • If the player is defeated
"That's that."
  • After being defeated
"I wonder how far you can get with your skill level. This should be fascinating."
"I'm amazed... I never expected anyone to beat me..."
"You're skilled enough to hold your own against the Elite Four."
  • After winning
"You disappoint me. It's futile for you to try for the top at your skill level."
"I'm having a hard time understanding how you could have come this far."
"I would say you're ten years too early to be challenging the Elite Four."
  • If the battle ended in a draw
"If you stall here, can you imagine what it would be like ahead?"
  • If the player runs from the battle
"Good. That's an intelligent decision."

Main Story Chapter 23 - Hearts Connected by Fashion
  • The Maiden from a Land with History
"Hmm..."
"No, that's not it at all! It's what they said. They said our Pokémon were cool, but..."
"they said we dress weird!"
"My look is so trendy, it's on everyone's lips in Johto! Pasio just hasn't reached my level yet!"
I think you two look great.: "R-right! I'd expect nothing less from your sensibilities, <player>!"
"Hm? The way you speak... Are you from Johto?"
"Hm? What is it?"
"Wonderful?"
"That's right, Valerie! My style is incredible, don't you think?"
  • To Be a Pokémon
"Hmm... By the way, how much would one outfit cost?"
"M-more than 500 Big Pearls?!"
"The wearer?"
"I knew you'd understand! We have the same sensibilities."
"Hmm, all right! I've made up my mind! Since you've complimented me so kindly, I will grant you my company all day long!"
"If there's anything you'd like to do, just let me know."
"Huh?"
"Hm? What is it?"
"Isn't there anything else you'd like to do while you're on Pasio?"
  • A Fellow Fashionista?
"I don't really get what's happening, but you want to meet Elesa, right?"
  • Leaf's Idea
"According to the map, the spot should be right around here."
  • The Stage Awaits
"Huh? Why's that?"
"Our opponent is Elesa..."
"Of course! It's certainly a bit sudden, but we'd be glad to have you, Valerie!"
Story Event - Two Champions
"Y-you just got to Pasio, and you're already able to give me a run for my money?"
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised! You are my cousin, after all!"
"Hmph. Sounds like a pointless debate, if you ask me. The answer is obvious."
"It's simple. I know who the strongest dragon master is..."
"because it's me—Clair!"
"..."
"Hmph! Why is everyone so stuck on Cynthia and Lance, anyway? I don't get it!"
"I'll show them... Get ready, Pasio, because I'm about to prove that I, Clair, and my Kingdra are the greatest of all!"
  • Surprise Entrance
"E-exactly as I planned it! The star of the show must have a dramatic entrance!"
"Lance! Cynthia! Iris and I have come to challenge you to a battle!"
"If you want to claim the title of greatest dragon master as your own, you'll have to defeat us first!"
"If we're all in agreement here, can we hurry up and get this battle started already?"
  • At Long Last...
"I...I can't believe this... This shouldn't have happened..."
"Kingdra...I-I'm sorry I let you down..."
"I wanted to prove that I'm the greatest dragon master...that I'm worthy of being your Trainer."
"I guess, as it turns out, I'm nowhere near that level... I need to get stronger..."
"You were brilliant, though, Kingdra. You fought hard, and your moves were all fantastic."
"What?"
"Cynthia..."
"Lance..."
"Hmph! Of course I will! I'm not going to let one tiny loss stop me from becoming the greatest dragon master of all time!"
"Come on, Iris! Let's let Kingdra and the others rest for a bit, but then it's right back to training!"
"Lance, Cynthia..."
"thank you."
Story Event - Family Ties
  • Sibling Advantages
"*chuckle* Aren't we fantastic?"
"I thought so. It was a little awkward here and there, but both of you really shined through."
Story Event - Season's Greetings
  • New Year's Resolutions
"There you are, Lance! Come on, let's battle!"
"What?! You're using Gyarados?!"
"I-I know that! Let's go, Kingdra!"
"Urgh... We practiced so hard to battle Dragonite at this spot. We even had a strategy to use the environment to our advantage."
"Why do you even remember that? It was such a long time ago!"
"Of course not! I was planning on training here anyway!"
"Hmmm. You could say it was one of my New Year's resolutions."
"It's a chance for me to look back on how much I've grown and set goals for the new year!"
"Really? Thank you!"
"*chuckle* There's even one from Iris."
"Wait, you're delivering these? Are you sure it's OK to take such a long break?"
"Yeah, see you later! I'm gonna beat you for sure this year, Lance!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Clair
"Yes! That's it! Now attack like you mean it!"
"Took you long enough, <player>."
"I don't have time to wait around for people all day. When I ask you to meet me, I expect you to come immediately. OK?"
Are you busy with something?: "Me? A Gym Leader on the same level as the Elite Four?! Of course I'm busy!"
OK... I'm sorry.: "Well, I suppose I could forgive you just this once. I'm feeling nice today."
"... ... ..."
"I heard some good news. Lance is here on Pasio now."
"You may have heard of him."
"He's the Champion of the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League..."
"and he's also my cousin."
"Lance has always treated me like a child, so to be honest, I can't say I'm his biggest fan."
"My Kingdra and his Dragonite have a bit of a history together as well."
"Back when Kingdra was still a little Horsea, she fought against Dragonite with all her might."
"Look, just hearing Dragonite's name is getting her all worked up..."
"Anyway, our confidence took a huge hit after that match with Lance."
"I was still a child back then. We didn't stand a chance against him."
"I have dreams about that day every once in a while, even now."
"Heh heh... Lance didn't get the last laugh in the end, though."
"We stood our ground and managed to get one good hit in before he beat us. The look of surprise on Lance's face was priceless!"
"We gave him a good scare that day, didn't we, Kingdra? A real Water Gun in the eye!"
Wow, how awesome!: "I know. The two of us have been a powerful team ever since we were children."
Water Gun, huh? I see what you did there.: "What? I assure you, you did not! Silly jokes are beneath me..."
"Anyway! Horsea continued to give her all for me, eventually evolving into the magnificent Kingdra you see here now."
"Kingdra generally live deep below the ocean's surface and are rarely seen in the wild, you know."
"Even Lance hasn't been able to fully utilize the power of his Kingdra."
"I, and I alone, have accomplished that! I should be known as the world's best dragon master."
"To tell you the truth, the thought of being known as the best is a little unnerving...but I won't complain."
You're really strong, Clair.: "I suppose hearing that from you gives me a little more confidence."
"You're right—I AM strong. But I can still grow stronger."
Let's both do our best.: "Hmm... You and I? Train together? I suppose I could get behind that. Thank you. For thinking of me."
"You know, I think I feel better now, after talking all of that out with you. I feel like I've got my emotions in order now, at least."
"I believe I can trust you as a fellow Trainer."
"Something tells me the two of us are going to soar to greater heights together, like a pair of Dragon Pokémon."
"Can I count on you?"
You can count on me as a friend!: "Thank you! It'll be good to have you around."
You can count on me as a partner!: "Right, then. Let's soar to greater heights together!"
"I think Kingdra is happy about this arrangement as well."
"You might still be an up-and-coming Trainer, <player>..."
"but something about being around you mysteriously seems to put my heart at ease."
Pokémon Center
  • Random conversation
"What are you staring at? Don't be so rude."
"Are you...impressed by my clothing?"
"Well, there must be more to you than meets the eye if you understand the beauty of this style!"
"This is the ultimate fashion, appropriate for the ultimate Gym Leader!"
"No, it's not strange—and I'm not embarrassed to be wearing it, either!"
  • If spoken to again
"Heh, it's not a bad feeling to have an admirer."
"Very well! You may admire me to your heart's content!"
  • Random conversation
"Do you know the famous dragon Trainer, Lance? He's actually my cousin."
"But he never acknowledges my skill, even though we're both dragon users!"
"Isn't that just awful? What could possibly be lacking from me?"
"I wonder—is there truly something lacking in me?"
  • If spoken to again
"Oh, no, it's not that I don't like him. I just feel a little disgruntled is all."
"Don't you dare tell anyone I said that, though!"
  • Random conversation
"Kingdra is a very special being to me."
"She's strong, beautiful, and tough. Her regal form is truly fitting of her name!"
"And sometimes, when things don't go the way I'd like them to, she comforts me."
"Kingdra looks positively divine, I know, but..."
"She also has a very beautiful heart."
  • If spoken to again
"Kingdra and I are like two hearts beating as one. That's why we're the greatest sync pair of all."
  • Random conversation
"It can be difficult to raise Dragon-type Pokémon."
"But if you don't give up and take things slow and steady, they'll always come through for you."
"Unfortunately, some Trainers do just give up in the face of the challenge."
"So one of my goals is to teach such Trainers the proper way of raising Dragon types."
"I don't want there to be any more unhappy Pokémon or Trainers."
  • If spoken to again
"If you want to become a Dragon-type user, your first step should be to find a Pokémon you really like."
"It's always best to raise a Pokémon you like. And then, someday, we can have a Dragon-type showdown!"
  • Random conversation
"Hey! <Player>!"
"There should be lots you can learn from me, the world's best Dragon-type master!"
"If you insist, I wouldn't mind personally training you."
"Hee hee, once the PML is over, come visit me."
"I'll make you my apprentice! Think of the honor!"
  • If spoken to again
"Well, that's settled! You'll come to me! You promised now, so no backing out!"
  • Random conversation
"I can feel it!"
"You're getting very interested in Dragon-type Pokémon, aren't you?"
"Hmph, well, I can understand being drawn to powerful beings!"
"But Dragon-type Pokémon are proud creatures of legend!"
"They won't warm up to you so easily!"
"They only lend their strength to Trainers who are truly worthy."
  • If spoken to again
"It can be difficult to truly bond with one, but a Dragon-type Pokémon is definitely the best Pokémon to have as a partner!"
"I think you will become obsessed with them, too."
  • Random conversation
"To me, defeat is an impossibility."
"Victory is everything. That's how I've always battled."
"That's the only way I can show the strength of Kingdra and me."
"That's why we have to win, no matter who we're facing."
"Yes, I've always felt like I didn't want to lose for my own sake, but from now..."
"No, never mind."
  • If spoken to again
"You're someone who I'm willing to admit is strong, OK?"
"So I won't forgive you if you lose to anyone other than me."
"Promise me you won't lose to anyone! Promise!"

"Hey, one moment. Uh, well... Here, you can have this. I just happened to come across it."
"Take it. If you don't want it, you don't have to keep it."
"Since I personally gave you a gift, you should treat it like it's me and treasure it."
"Oh! But no holding back, though! Use it whenever you need it!"
  • Special Dragon-type Training event conversation
"Bring it on, <player>! I'll show you what Kingdra and I are made of!"
