These are Shelly's quotes in the Pokémon games.
In the core series games
Pokémon Sapphire
- Before battle
- "Ahahahaha! You're going to meddle in Team Aqua's affairs? You're either absolutely fearless, simply ignorant, or both! You're so cute, you're disgusting! I'll put you down, kiddy!"
- When defeated
- "Ahahahaha! You're disgustingly strong!"
- After being defeated
- "Ahahahaha! We got meddled with unexpectedly! We're out of options. We'll have to pull out. But this isn't the last you'll see of Team Aqua! We have other plans! Don't you forget it!"
- Before battle
- "Ahahahaha! How did you manage to get here without a submarine? What an impressive child! But... It won't do to have you meddling about here. And, I do want payback for what happened at the Weather Institute... I'm going to give you a little taste of pain! Resign yourself to it!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Ahahahaha! Ouch!"
- After being defeated
- "Ahahahaha! You're so darn strong. It's terribly disappointing that you're not a Team Aqua member. You could have enjoyed the fabulous world our Boss has promised to one of our own..."
Pokémon Emerald
- Weather Institute
- Before battle
- "Ahahahaha! You're going to meddle in Team Aqua's affairs? You're either absolutely fearless, simply ignorant, or both! You're so cute, you're disgusting! I'll put you down, kiddy!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Ahahahaha! You're disgustingly strong!"
- After being defeated
- "It's bad enough to have Team Magma blunder about, but now there's you! What makes you want to sniff around in our business, anyway?"
- "What?! We can't waste anymore time here! We have to hurry to Mt. Pyre, too! Ahahahaha! Team Magma, just you wait!"
- Seafloor Cavern
- Before battle
- "Ahahahaha! How did you manage to get here without a submarine? What an impressive child! But... It won't do to have you meddling about here. And, I do want payback for what happened at the Weather Institute... I'm going to give you a little taste of pain! Resign yourself to it!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Ahahahaha! Ouch!"
- After being defeated
- "Ahahahaha! You're so darn strong. It's terribly disappointing that you're not a Team Aqua member. You could have enjoyed the fabulous world our Boss has promised as one of us..."
Pokémon Omega Ruby
- Battle Resort
- "See you later, Archie. Do it right."
- "Ma'am..."
- "Wh-what?! It's that brat! No matter how you look at it, I'm a "miss", not a "ma'am"!"
- "Huhn?! Is this that kid..."
- "Hmmph...I'd like to go there. If there is a world like that..."
- "Wouldn't you know it... He can really make a girl's eyes sparkle. He's always like that when he meets strong Trainers. That's what I like about him, though..."
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
- Before battle
- "Hahn? What's this? Who is this spoiled brat?"
- "Ah! So even I, Team Aqua Admin Shelly, have been made a fool. …Fine! Brats who don't know how to watch their mouths must be punished! I won't forgive you if you cower in fear either! Wahahaha!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Ooohhhh! Are you telling me you're that strong and still just a kid?!"
- After being defeated
- "Ahhh?! Did I go too easy on you?!"
- "If the tremendous energy of Mt. Chimney and the Meteorite are combined, we of Team Aqua can take a giant step toward the world that we dream of! We won't let ignorant little brats get in our way!"
- "Hmph! Even Team Magma showed their faces, huh? There's nothing to be done about it…"
- "Hey! Grab that Meteorite!"
- "Ahahaha! Later days, brats and Team Magma! All right, time to rush to Mt. Chimney!"
- Mt. Chimney
- Before battle
- "What are you doing here?! Did you follow us all the way here from Meteor Falls?! Ha! Well hey, good job, kid. OK. I admit it. You are quite the Trainer. And…"
- "To Archie… me… and all of Team Aqua, your existence is annoying!"
- "The world Archie dreams of would be a utopia for Pokémon. I can't let you get in the way of someone who's pushing on toward a perfect world! Prepare yourself! This will finally be the time that I leave that cute face of yours swollen and crying!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Wh-what was that!"
- After being defeated
- "Uh. Are you telling me you've upped your game even more since last time? You're a brat with a bright future… My Pokémon and I don't have any strength left to fight… Go on… Go and be destroyed by Archie."
- If talked to again
- "Go on… Go and be destroyed by Archie."
- Weather Institute
- "Could it be? Is this the world… Archie hoped to create…"
- "Shut your mouth!"
- "Fine, I'll give it back. I'll give it back, all right? The awakening of the super-ancient Pokémon will bring about extreme weather. If this happened all over the world, what would become of Pokémon, not to mention people?"
- Before battle
- "Oh my! I even run into you when I'm not on the clock! I wonder why that is… Maybe we're destined to be together… Ahaha!"
- "Wanna know something? I'm feeling so empty and downhearted right now. I can't get my head straight. Umm? Help me take my mind off it. The way you and your Pokémon battle so straightforwardly and sincerely with such hope, it makes me so mad!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Hah…hah… That tired me out…"
- After being defeated
- "… Hmmph. I feel a bit more relaxed… Thanks. As a token of my gratitude, I'll tell you one thing. When Team Aqua's… No, when the illustrious Archie's ambitions have been realized, the world will truly return to its beginnings, to before the birth of anything at all… Think for yourself about what to do when you're up against that reality. I still haven't figured out for myself what's wrong and what's right… See ya. I'm sure I'll run into you again, though."
- "Archie is probably on the way to Mt. Pyre… So I…"
- Slateport Harbor
- "...Got it."
- "You guys! Keep that spoiled brat busy until the submarine takes off."
- "Let's go. Archie…"
- Seafloor Cavern
- "Archie!"
- "That's enough! Can't you see that the world you dream of and the world that Kyogre will create are two completely different places?!"
- "What…have you done…"
- "Archie! What's going on outside?!"
- "I knew it. … We just need to get out of here! Standing around complaining isn't going to to solve anything!"
- "You, too! Well, hurry up!"
- Route 128
- "How awful..."
- "Archie..."
- "Let's go, Archie!"
- Sootopolis City
- "Archie..."
- "I'm going to hand over that thing we developed to this kid. All right?"
- "This super high-performance protective suit was made with the combined technology of the Devon Corporation and Team Aqua! We actually prepared it in anticipation of coming into contact with Kyogre. I'll just leave it with you."
- "The energy overflowing from this shrine is certainly much more powerful than we had anticipated. Its influence is making the current grow stronger."
- After confronting Kyogre
- "That's right. You caused a big fuss there when you almost brought about the downfall of the world, you big dolt! No matter how much you beg, no one can forgive that!"
- "But… Do you really need their forgiveness, though? Even if you are a big dolt who no one in the world will ever forgive…"
- "I'll… I'll stay with you! I'll stay with you forever!"
- "So please… Stop going out on your own and acting crazy."
- "You're…our… Team Aqua's leader, and we're your friends, after all."
Delta Episode
- Team Aqua Hideout
- "Archie... Are you...OK?"
- "You!"
- "…Oh man! What makes her think she can just do whatever she wants and then hightail it out of here?!"
- "..."
- "...What?! I-is that OK?!"
- "...I understand."
- "The Sharpedonite… Make sure your Sharpedo holds on to it tightly."
- After completing the Delta Episode
- "Archie… it looks like Matt feels sorry for what he's done."
- "Umm, Archie…"
- "I can't believe these two. What do they think they're doing standing there with their faces all wet with tears?"
- "Well… I guess it could be worse."
- Subsequent visits
- "Oh my goodness me! Thanks for coming!"
- "Thanks to you, it looks like we of Team Aqua will be able to take a step in a new direction."
- "Thank you kindly for everything!"

- "They're good people, but they're hard to organize."
- "I mean, you know how our leader is, so I guess it can't be helped."
- If spoken to again
- "If Archie could calm down a little, it would make things easier for me."
- "Actually, could you have a word with Archie?"
- "He'd probably take you seriously."
- Random conversation
- "Do you know any shops around here that sell furniture and stuff?"
