Gardenia/Quotes

These are Gardenia's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

Eterna CityPt
"Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's Gym Leader! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym Trainers first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"
Eterna Gym
  • At the entrance of the Gym's mazeDP
"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader--me--until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting for you in the back. Good luck, challenger!"
  • Before battle
"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the Grass-type master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle!"
  • After the opponent sends out their last Pokémon
"It's not the end yet."
  • When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"
  • Upon being defeated
"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"
  • After being defeated
"I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"
"With the Forest Badge, your Pokémon can use the hidden move Cut outside of battle. Now that you have two Gym Badges, all Pokémon you received in trades will obey you up to Lv. 30. I've also got something else. It's a gift from me!"
"That TM86 contains the move Grass Knot. It's one of my favorite moves. The heavier the foe, the more damage this move will cause."
  • If talked to again
"Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"
Eterna Forest
"Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too?"
"You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the Old Chateau. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"
Resort AreaPt
"Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"
Yes: "Yes! No time to waste!"
No: "Oh, right. You must have plans already."
VillaPt
  • Any of the following
"Sigh... This is so dreamy... The Resort Area's a nice place. Of course, Eterna is a good place, too. We have the huge forest, first of all."
"I know it's a little abrupt, but don't you think Grass-type Pokémon smell nice? It makes me happy just being around them."
"I could tell you ten good things about Grass-type Pokémon. Which kind of Pokémon can you say good things about? Ooh, maybe ten won't be enough."
"Do you remember those rumors about the Old Chateau? They say there really were ghost Pokémon there in the old days. ...That's so scary. What if they suddenly came back?"
"...I'm in a dilemma now. You see, I don't like ghost Pokémon very much. But, what if... What if there was a Grass-type ghost Pokémon? What then?"
  • After buying Houseplants
"Oh, hey! A Houseplant! It's really nice. Maybe I'll get some for my Gym. The green coloring and the aroma... It's very nice."
BattlegroundPt

Scenario 1

  • Before battle
"Hi, have you been keeping well? Let's cut to the good stuff! Let's get down to battle!"
Yes: "Yes, that's right! A battle will tell you if someone you haven't seen's been keeping well!"
No: "You won't battle? You're not in the mood, huh? Well, why not polish your Badges, then? That might put a shine on your day, too."
If talked to again after the player answered "No": "Oh? You do want to battle?"
  • When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"
  • Upon being defeated
"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"
  • After being defeated
"Out of the Gym, a Gym Leader is just another Trainer. But wherever I go, I still try to be as tough as I can. It's not fair to my Pokémon if we were to lose because of me."

Scenario 2

  • Before battle
"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. I'm kind of interested in what Pokémon you have, too. Want to battle? A real quick one?"
Yes: "I can't deny that Grass-type Pokémon have many weak points. But I'll show you that's not the only factor in deciding who wins!"
No: "Aww, really? My grass Pokémon are growing good and strong too..."
If talked to again after the player answered "No": "My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. Come on, let's battle! A real quick one, OK?"
  • When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"
  • Upon being defeated
"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"
  • After being defeated
"By the way... Have you been to the Old Chateau? Me? Uh, well, you know, I have my Gym Leader job and all, so... Well, actually, I'm here training... ...I'm here just for fun. Ahahaha! Don't mind me!"

  • In the lobby (after the tournament)

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

First rematch

  • Before battle
"You kept me waiting, <player>! When I first saw you, I just knew it—sooner or later, this kid was gonna defeat the Champion. And now look at you! You're just oozing with the winning aura of a really tough Trainer! But it makes me think... If I can beat you now, then I'll be the strongest Trainer there is!"
  • Before sending out last Pokémon
"Don't you think it's natural to save your best for last?"
  • Upon being defeated
"Wow! You totally bested me!"
  • After being defeated
"Wow, you really are strong! Just how did you raise your Pokémon to be that tough?"
"Well, anyway, here! As thanks for that battle, I’ll give you my favorite Sticker."
"But this doesn’t mean I’ve given up! I’m up for a Pokémon battle every day if you are!"

"Well, anyway, here! As thanks for that battle, I’ll give you my favorite Sticker."
"But this doesn’t mean I’ve given up! I’m up for a Pokémon battle every day if you are!"

Battle Tower singles match

  • Before battle
"Would you like to see how much my Pokémon's skills have grown? "
  • Upon being defeated

  • After being defeated
"Wow. You and your Pokémon have done a lot of growing, too!"

Battle Tower doubles match

"Let me lay it on the line—if we work together, Fantina and I are sure to beat you!

"Ah! It disappeared into the vending machine!"
"Oh wow, look at how much it's moving! That's pretty impressive."
"After seeing how hard Rotom's working, I feel like I might have misjudged Ghost-type Pokémon."

"Are you thinking of going there to investigate?"
"Um... Well, I'm a Gym Leader and have other things to do, so..."
"I'll leave the monster to you!"
Story Event - Exciting Treasure Hunt
  • The Treasure Hunt Begins!
"Wow! A treasure hunt? How fun! This is gonna be great!"
  • Wearing her summer outfit
"All this talk about treasure, so close to the sea... It makes me feel like a pirate!"
"So do you, Acerola!"
"But I'M the one who's gonna find that treasure!"
  • A Suspicious Cave
"Treasure, huh..."
"I'm sure it's something incredible if Lear prepared it..."
"I'm curious about that "generous reward" he's promised the winners, too!"
"At any rate, I've got to find the treasure before anyone else does!"
  • Off-screen
"Oh! I didn't know there was a cave over there!"
  • On-screen
"It looks awfully suspicious... My treasure sense is tingling!"
"I need to search that cave before any other Trainers find it!"
"Oh, no..."
"It's darker than I expected... I'm not going to run into any ghosts in here, am I?"
"Oof... Just thinking about ghosts is freaking me out..."
"Eep!"
"What was that noise? Is someone there?"
"Is something really back there?!"
"Don't tell me it's a gh—"
  • Off-screen
"EEEYAAAHHH!"
  • On-screen
"Oh, it's just you, Acerola. Phew! You scared me..."
"No, not yet. But I still haven't checked out the deeper parts of the cave yet."
"I kept hearing this creepy sound..."
"That one! Did you hear it?!"
"I thought it might be a ghost..."
"Uhh... Well..."
"N-No way!"
"As a Gym Leader, I couldn't possibly let you put yourself in danger..."
"W-wait! Don't leave me alooone!"
  • Half Smitten, Half Scared
"W-Wait, Acerola... You walk too fast!"
"O-Of course! I'm not the least bit scared!"
"Sure I'm sure! Just watch me!"
"Eek!"
"... ... ..."
"*sniffle* Thanks, Acerola..."
"Well, here we are—the depths of the cave..."
"Now, to find that treasure..."
"Wait a minute... Who's that Pokémon?"
"You mean those were just Pokémon cries all along? Thank goodness..."
"I thought for sure it was a ghost..."
"Huh? Really?!"
"Still, though..."
"I'm not sure why, but unlike other ghost Pokémon, it's not that scary to me..."
"Oh, I see! If it's a Grass-type Pokémon, then even I..."
"A-actually, it is kinda scary..."
"No. So, what's Dhelmise doing here?"
"I don't see a Trainer anywhere, and it doesn't seem like Lear put it here to guard the treasure..."
"Whaaa—?! Me?!"
"Me with a ghost Pokémon... Could I really become a sync pair with Dhelmise?"
"... ... ..."
"Eep!"
"Oh! Wait, Dhelmise!"
"I think I might have hurt Dhelmise's feelings..."
"That's not it—I want to get to know Dhelmise better."
"It's just...I really do have hang-ups about ghosts..."
"...You know what? I want to find Dhelmise again so I can set things straight!"
"Right!"
  • Let's Fish Up Dhelmise!
"Jellicent led us out of the cave..."
"But all I see out here are sync pairs caught up in the treasure hunt!"
"Oh, of course! It must be in the sea!"
"How do you think we could get Dhelmise to come out?"
"Huh?! Fishing?"
"I mean, I understand the logic...but where are we going to get a fishing rod?"
"Are you sure, Lana? Weren't you using your fishing rod to look for the treasure?"
"Thank you, Lana!"
"Just watch—I'll fish up Dhelmise for sure!"
"... ... ..."
"Yes! Jellicent showed us!"
"I...I think something's tugging the line!"
"Nnngh!"
  • Off-screen
"...No good! I can't pull it any closer!"
"Three, two, one..."
"Nnngh!"
"No use. I don't think we're making any headway..."
  • On-screen
"I didn't realize Dhelmise was so heavy..."
"Got it!"
"B-but...please hurry!"
  • The Best Treasure
"Thank you, everyone! With all of us working together, we'll definitely be able to do this!"
"All right, everyone! On three!"
"One..."
  • Off-screen
"Two..."
"Three!"
  • On-screen
"Nnnnnnggghhh!"
"No way... Even THAT wasn't enough?"
"This time, I think we can really do this!"
"Everybody ready?"
"OK, then... Here we go!"
  • Off-screen
"One..."
"Two..."
"Three!"
"Nnnnnnggghhh!"
  • On-screen
"...We're doing it! We're pulling up Dhelmise, little by little!"
  • Off-screen
"Come on, everyone... We're almost there! Hang in there just a little longer!"
  • On-screen
"Let's gooooooooo!"
"Dhelmise..."
"Umm... I want to apologize about before!"
"It's not that I don't like you! I was just a little startled..."
"I really am sorry!"
"Oh, Dhelmise!"
"I see... So you get scared just like me, huh?"
"So, um, Dhelmise..."
"If you like, would you become a sync pair with me?"
"I'm still a little scared of ghost Pokémon..."
"But I've got a feeling that you and I can get along!"
"Thank you! Great to make your acquaintance, Dhelmise!"
"Huh? Treasure?"
"We were only able to fish up that treasure in the first place thanks to everyone's help..."
"...Huh?"
"Hey, what do you say we give this statue to Steven?"
"I don't think the two of us would get much use out of it anyway..."
"Steven, you can have that statue if you like."
"Yes, of course! After all..."
"we already found an even more precious treasure!"
"Right, Dhelmise?"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Gardenia
"Were you checking out Pasio's forest, too, <player>?"
"Isn't it amazing?! I heard everything here was made by people!"
I knew that!: "I can hardly believe it! Lear must really love Pokémon to build something like this!"
Is that so?: "Yeah, this super-rich guy named Lear built all of Pasio. It's an artificial island!"
" I also heard that a new kind of Pokémon might be born, thanks to Lear!"
What do you mean?/Whoa!: "Pokémon sometimes change their form or evolve to suit their environment."
"Exeggutor in the Alola region soaked up so much sunshine that their necks got super long like that."
"So if Pokémon stay on Pasio long enough, there's a chance they could change to a new form!"
"I wonder if Roserade will change."
"She could be slithery like Serperior or fluffy like Jumpluff."
"Oh! Or maybe she could get a really hard steel body like Ferrothorn!"
"Oh, wait!"
What's wrong?/Did you think of something?: "Um, if Roserade changes form, that means..."
"Is it possible she could turn into some spooky Pokémon like Gourgeist or Trevenant?"
"I-I don't think I would like that... What would I do?"
"You know, I think I would still love Roserade even if she were a ghost, though."
"Um, I mean, it's not like I'm s-scared of ghosts or anything! You believe me, right?"
"But you know what? Yeah! It'd be no problem! Ghost Roserade might be kind of transparent and cute, right?"
"I wonder what Roserade wants to be like."
Isn't she fine just the way she is?: "Like she is now? How she's always been, you mean?"
"..."
"You're right. Maybe she's best as she is already."
Roserade might not want to change.: "Huh? Oh, you're right. No one likes sudden change, right?"
"..."
"I guess I got a little too excited. Sorry, Roserade."
"If her form changed, that would mean we would have to say good-bye to her current form."
"I'm sure the new Roserade would be lovely, too, but she's already lovely right now!"
"Thanks, <player>. You taught me something important!"
"Whether she changes or not, as long as we can spend time together, that's the most important thing!"
"Roserade! Let's keep on going for walks and soaking up the sun like we always have!"
Sync Pair Story - Weepinbell's Evolution
  • Before battle
"Ramos! Hi! I just wanted to tell you that I really respect you—from one nature-loving Gym Leader to another!"
"The way you stand, the way you carry yourself—you radiate the air of a true veteran, while also emanating kindness!"
"Absolutely! How could I say no to that!"
  • After being defeated
"Amazing! You really are good, aren't you, Ramos?"
Pokémon Center
  • During sync background preview (Summer 2024)
"It's time to pull up whatever's anchoring our spirits and head out for the open sea!"
  • Random conversation
"You know, I'm from the Sinnoh region. We have a myth there that this whole world was created by a Pokémon."
"I think it must have been a Grass-type Pokémon!"
"'Cause, y'know, I can believe what I want, right?"
  • If spoken to again
"I really enjoy pondering the world that's mentioned in the Sinnoh region's myths."
"If it really was a Grass-type Pokémon that created the world, I think that deity definitely liked rain."
"I mean, it must have, right? I think it also really loved rich soil, full of nutrients."
  • Random conversation
"I wonder how they choose the plants to bring to an artificial island."
"I guess they gather a bunch of plants from all over and then choose which ones to plant."
"I want to see if any plants from the Sinnoh region were chosen!"
  • If spoken to again
"It just occurred to me that there might be plants from far away that we've never seen before."
"I'm excited about the Pokémon battles, sure, but I'm also really looking forward to seeing all the different plants on Pasio!"
  • Random conversation
"When it comes to Grass-type Pokémon, Roserade is really cool, but I love Turtwig, too!"
"Watching its adorable little face munch down on leaves—it just made me want to hug it and never let go!"
"I was wondering if I should actually do that when Turtwig came to me on its own!"
"Ever since then, Turtwig has been one of my very best friends!"
  • If spoken to again
"There are certain times where you meet someone for the first time but then your feelings connect as if a flower was blooming between you."
"Don't worry—I know you'll have a miraculous moment like that, too, someday!"
  • Random conversation
"My Roserade is so cute, I'd love to hug her, too, but I can't."
"Her thorns have poison, so I'd be in a lot of trouble if I hugged her."
"Still, I love her so much, someday I might not be able to resist and give her a squeeze."
  • If spoken to again
"They say beautiful flowers have thorns, but to have poison on top of that..."
"I think Roserade needs to be less pretty! Not!"
  • Random conversation
"The Pokémon I like all have really distinct aromas."
"But even then, their scent changes from day to day. I can even tell their mood by how they smell that day!
"It's almost like I'm talking to them. It makes me feel like we're really connected, even if they don't understand the words I use."
"You know, I'm a little curious about your scent, too, <player>. Hee hee!"
  • If spoken to again
"Any Pokémon will try to tell you what it's feeling, even if it can't use words. Each Pokémon has its way of communicating."
"I think a Trainer's job is to understand how their Pokémon communicate!"
  • Random conversation
"So, I have a secret to tell. I didn't come here just for the adventure."
"I came because I also wanted to overcome my fears."
"I haven't really been able to tell my friends that I'm a bit of a coward, but..."
"I felt like if I told you, you'd help me out."
  • If spoken to again
"You see, I'm really, really scared of...ghosts."
"So, I just can't handle Ghost-type Pokémon."
  • Random conversation
"Hey. Do you know the Pokémon Pumpkaboo and Phantump?"
"As you know, I really love Grass-type Pokémon, but..."
"These two, they're not just Grass type. They're also Ghost type!"
"I want to take care of them and cuddle them too, so I can get over my fear."
  • If spoken to again
"See, I think they're cute. I really do."
"But their movements and whatnot are a bit different from normal Grass types, and they scare me a little."
"Still, as a Grass-type Pokémon Trainer, I can't just stay scared! Someday I'll be able to cuddle them!"
  • Random conversation (Summer 2024)
"Check out my outfit! Something about it makes me feel powerful and hungry for adventure."
"Honestly, I just want to be out searching for buried treasure or something!"
  • Random conversation (Summer 2024)
"Anchors aweigh! Yo-ho-ho! ...Well? What do you think? Can I pull it off?"
"Apparently "anchors aweigh" is ship lingo that means the anchor has been hoisted and the voyage can officially begin!"
"It makes me feel powerful—maybe I'll say that at the start of my next battle!"
  • Random conversation (Summer 2024)
"The shining sun, the bright blue sky—I just love hot, clear days!"
"Know why? Because I get to see Grass-type Pokémon soaking it all up!"
"Maybe next time I'll take them all out on a ship so we can cruise across the sea together!"
  • Random conversation (Summer 2024)
"Some Grass-type Pokémon, like Dhelmise or Lotad, live in the water."
"They've got a different kind of charm from the Grass-types who live on land..."
"I can kinda understand how people who love water Pokémon feel."
  • Random conversation (Summer 2024)
"Uh...hey, <player>? There's nothing behind me...right?"
"I mean, of course there isn't! I don't see anything, so that must mean nothing's there!"
"Allister and Phoebe were staring really hard at something over my shoulder, though..."
"I'm sure I'm just overthinking things...right?"
  • Random conversation (Summer 2024)
"Ever since I came to Pasio, I've been running into Pokémon I've never seen before much more often."
"Every time I see a Grass-type Pokémon that looks like a ghost, it always makes me jump!"
"The same thing happened with Dhelmise. It's cute, but I'm still just a little bit scared of it..."
  • If spoken to again
"Is there a Pokémon like that for you? One that's a mix of your favorite and least favorite types?"
"Well hey, if there are, let's try our best to warm up to them!"
  • Random conversation (Summer 2024)
"Back when Sinnoh was still called Hisui, the people who lived there used to think Pokémon were terrifying creatures!"
"As terrifying as ghosts, even."
"Maybe that's because Pokémon weren't very well understood back then."
"I suppose if we learn more about ghosts the way we did with Pokémon, they might become less frightening."
  • If spoken to again
"Oh, guess what! I heard that back in the Hisui region, there was a person like me who knew a lot about plants!"
"Apparently they used to take care of their village's fields, where the vegetables grew..."
"Maybe I'll try growing my own vegetables, too!"

"Ah, there you are, <player>! Where are you going to explore today?"

  • Special log-in conversation (generic) (Summer 2024)
"Ahoy, <player>! I've been waiting for you to come aboard!"
