Quotes

At Virbank Gym

  • Before battle
"Get ready! I'm gonna knock some sense outta ya!"
  • During battle (the first non-KO hit)
"I can feel your desire to win pouring out of you!"
  • After sending out last Pokémon
"It's not over yet! Time to turn this show around for a victory!"
  • When defeated
"Wait! I was right in the middle of the chorus!"
  • After being defeated
"Sigh! What are you doing losing, Roxie?! Well…I guess that means you're strong! This stinks, but I gave it everything I had, and I feel revitalized and refreshed now!"
"Here! Proof that you beat me! Two Badges! Now Pokémon up to Lv. 30, even Pokémon you got in trades, will realize how good you are and won't ignore your commands!"
"Also, here! Use this TM! TM09 is Venoshock! It covers the target in a special poisonous liquid! Even better, if your target's already poisoned, it does double damage! Heh heh! It almost packs too much of a punch!"
"Your Pokémon WANTED this win! Keep on going on like this, and do all sorts of stuff!"
"You're going to Pokéstar Studios?! OH! I forgot! The old man! I have to get him back to work as captain!"

Badge Case

It's kindness to say no for your friends and Pokémon, right?

National Gymquirer

Jingle: "Woo hoo! All right! It's 'The National Gymquirer'!"
Page: "That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name RoxieForever! Thank yooou! 'This is a story about the first time I ever went to one of Roxie's shows! Many fans collapsed from the toxic power of her songs. Roxie's really a toxic shock to the system, isn't she?!' Maybe they were just too excited and fainted. Make sure to drink lots of fluids when you go to concerts! 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"

In the anime

Roxie in the anime

Roxie appeared in Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1 and Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2. She is a powerful Gym Leader, defeating everyone who dared to challenge her with only three Pokémon. When Ash arrived at her Gym, she was thrilled to see his Pikachu, as she too had a Pokémon originating from Kanto, Koffing, and happily accepted his challenge.

Roxie proved herself to be a very capable Gym Leader, defeating five of Ash's six Pokémon despite being at a disadvantage in terms of her party. She would occasionally perform a riff on her bass during the battle, and the crowd would chant her name. When she was defeated she happily congratulated Ash as the crowd cheered for his victory, and she presented him with his eighth and final Unova Badge, the Toxic Badge.
