These are Lorelei's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow

  • Before battle
"Welcome to Pokémon League! I am Lorelei of the Elite Four! No one can best me when it comes to icy Pokémon! Freezing moves are powerful! Your Pokémon will be at my mercy when they are frozen solid! Hahaha! Are you ready?"
  • Being defeated
"How dare you!"
  • After being defeated
"You're better than I thought! Go on ahead! You only got a taste of Pokémon League power!"

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

Indigo Plateau
  • Before battle
"Welcome to Pokémon League! I am Lorelei of the Elite Four!/I, Lorelei of the Elite Four, have returned! You know how it goes. No one can best me when it comes to icy Pokémon. Freezing moves are powerful. Your Pokémon will be at my mercy when they are frozen solid! Hahaha! Are you ready?"
  • Being defeated
"...Things shouldn't be this way!"
  • After being defeated
"You're better than I thought. Go on ahead. You only got a taste of the Pokémon League's power."
Icefall Cave
"Keep your filthy hands off the Pokémon in the cave! Do as I say, or you'll have me to answer to!"
"<player>?! What are you doing here? No, we can catch up later. Right now, I need your help. Help me kick these poachers out before they do anything else. They've been catching Pokémon here, then selling them off! Are you ready? You take that one, please!"
  • After defeating the Team Rocket Grunt
"Humph. So despicably weak. You! Tell me! Where have you taken the captured Pokémon? I'm smashing your ring once and for all!"
"If you won't confess, we'll deep-freeze you. My Lapras is furious for what you've done to its friends. Go, Lapras! Ice Beam…"
"<player>, thank you. But this is awful... I was born and raised here on these islands. I had no idea that those horrible criminals were loose here…"
Four Island
"There's something weighing heavily on my mind. If anything were to happen on the island where I was born… I wouldn't know it if I were in the Pokémon League. I wonder if that would make me irresponsible to my home…"
  • After clearing the Rocket Warehouse
"So, you managed to solve all the problems here? That's wonderful. That means there isn't any reason for me to be here all the time. Thank you… I'll return to the Pokémon League in a short while."
  • If talked to again
"I don't know what will happen in the future, but... I will do what I can here and now. That's all I can do."

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

Route 10
"Hold it!"
"Ganging up on a child... I absolutely can't forgive that."
"I'll handle these three. Could you take that other one for me?"
Leave it to me!: "Good answer! Now then, let's go!"
I don't know...: "There's no use backing down now! Here we go!"
  • After defeating the Team Rocket Grunt
"I am Lorelei of the Pokémon League's Elite Four! Shall I freeze you all solid, too?"
"You're a pretty talented Trainer. It was plain to see during your battle. I see. So you're collecting Gym Badges. I look forward to when you come to challenge the Pokémon League. Until then, see ya!"
Indigo Plateau
  • Before battle
"Welcome to the Pokémon League! Oh, looks like you finally made your way here. It sure took you a while, though! ...Well then, allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Lorelei of the Elite Four. No one can best me when it comes to icy Pokémon. Freezing moves are powerful. Your Pokémon will be at my mercy when they are frozen solid. That's because frozen Pokémon can't do a thing in battle! Hahaha! Are you ready?"
  • Being defeated
"...Things shouldn't be this way!"
  • After being defeated
"Looks like you've gotten stronger since we last met! Go on ahead. You only got a taste of the Pokémon League's power."
Rematch
  • Before battle
"Welcome to the Pokémon League! Hey, fantastic timing! I was just thinking how I'd like to battle you. I hope you're ready."
  • Being defeated
"Argh! How?!"
  • After being defeated
"I may have lost to you, but I'll never give up on my Ice-type Pokémon! You should aim to win using Pokémon you like best, too!"

"Looks like we got dumped."
"I'm not sure if she agrees with that last part..."
"Well, no matter. Where do we go from here? I know you've taken a liking to the girl, even if you won't admit it."
"Should we look for a new member? We don't have that much time left."
"Clair still has so much of that boasting, youthful overconfidence, doesn't she... I suppose that's where she and Lance are different."
"Then again, maybe that's what makes her so fun to watch... Good luck, Clair. I'll be right there with you."
"I'm Lorelei. I'm not exactly a Dragon-type Pokémon user, but that's no matter."

"I hope you're ready, <player>."
  • Cold Confidence: Part 2
"Accept it, Clair. We lost."
"You're all really strong, aren't you. Even my Lapras's Blizzard couldn't put out the fire in your hearts."

"What's wrong, Clair? Let's go."
"Huh?"
"You really are fun to watch, aren't you, Clair."
"That does sound like an interesting idea, though. What do you say? Could you take Clair along with you?"
"She might be a little...eccentric, as you can see, but you can count on her. I guarantee it."
"You don't have to shoulder this alone, Clair. Aim for the top together, with a new team."
"That is...if you ever want to be as strong as Lance, of course."
"Don't embarrass yourself, all right?"
Main Story Villain Arc - Kanto - Team Rocket Returns
  • Seeking Strength
"We tried looking for clues on where they might have taken her, but we didn’t find anything."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Lorelei
"Oh, <player>. I didn't expect to see you here."
"Lapras and I were just taking a joyride on the ocean."
That sounds really relaxing.: "It is. Pasio has beautiful oceans around it. Just floating on the ocean is very pleasant."
Don't you get motion sickness?: "Not at all. Lapras is very comfortable to ride on."
"Not only that—Pasio's waters are so calm, I can't imagine getting sick at all."
"And in case you were wondering, Lapras like to swim with people riding on their backs."
"I don't want you thinking that I'm forcing her to carry me around."
Don't worry. I know.: "I guess that was unnecessary. You seem to understand what's important as a Trainer."
Oh, really? I didn't know that!: "Oh, stop joking. I know you're the kind of Trainer who always thinks about your Pokémon first and foremost."
"I can tell just by looking at you."
"I sometimes come across people who take it for granted that Pokémon stay with them."
"They take it for granted that Pokémon battle—that they listen to humans."
"But the truth is that these Pokémon stay with us because they trust us, and those people have forgotten that."
"Our Pokémon are our friends, and our friends are our equals."
Of course./I understand.: "... ... ..."
"It's great to enjoy being with your Pokémon."
"But I want more people to think about whether a Pokémon enjoys being with them the same way."
"All in all, I think it's kindhearted Trainers like you who are going to rise to the top of the PML."
"At least, I hope that's the case! That being said, I have every intention of winning myself."
"Hm? You want to go for another swim, Lapras? Really, what am I going to do with you..."
"Well, last time I was the one who suggested we go out..."
"I suppose it's only fair that we go out again if that's what Lapras wants."
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Red (Champion)
"I can see why you and Articuno were chosen to be Neo Champions of Pasio!"
"Those Ice-type moves were impressive even to me!"
"Your average Trainer would be so entranced by the beauty of the ice, they'd be frozen solid before they snapped out of it!"
Articuno!: "Wow, I'm surprised to see you all the way out here, <player>!"
"But at any rate, Red... Where did you catch Articuno, anyway?"
"Well, the caverns underneath the Seafoam Islands are certainly very cold."
"A lot of very powerful Ice-type Pokémon make their homes there."
"Not many Trainers venture there either, so I suppose it was a pretty comfortable place for Articuno."
"But to think Articuno was so close to me... I sure missed out!"
"Clearly it takes a legendary Trainer to be recognized by a legendary bird Pokémon..."
"You two really are ALWAYS competing with each other, aren't you?"
Pokémon Center
  • During sync background preview (Variety)
"Hahaha! Are you ready?"
  • Random conversation
"No matter how resistant to cold I get, I'll never be able to beat..."
"the chill of loneliness."
"I was a very sickly child, so I went to an island with very clean air to help me heal."
"I had to live alone in a room without people or Pokémon until I was fully cured."
"It was...very lonely."
  • If spoken to again
"Back in those days, my best friend was a stuffed toy Pokémon."
"It was a big stuffed toy Lapras. It shows up in my dreams even to this day."
  • Random conversation
"Have you seen a pack of the adorable Sea Lion Pokémon, Seel?"
"They swim through arctic rivers and roll around on icebergs as if they were spirits of the sea."
"And the colder it gets, the better they feel. It must be wonderful..."
"to be able to gaze up at a sky of ice from the bottom of the frigid water."
  • If spoken to again
"Seel feel better the colder it gets, but if you give them a hug, they're surprisingly warm."
"They're covered in squishy blubber and fluffy fur. It feels wonderful!"
  • Random conversation
"There was a time when I just traveled and traveled, riding on Lapras's back."
"Back in those days, Lapras were near extinction."
"So I would search for Lapras to protect them with Ice-type moves."
  • If spoken to again
"Now that we've been protecting them for so long, you can find Lapras in the wild again."
  • Random conversation
"The reason I started my adventures was because I wanted to reach an aurora."
"Of course, now I know that's impossible."
"It doesn't matter why you started out. What matters is that you keep moving forward, even if your goal changes."
  • If spoken to again
"It's funny to think that the girl who was chasing auroras became an Elite Four member."
"But even though I was able to join the Elite Four, I was never able to reach an aurora. Hee hee!"
  • Random conversation
"How strong do you want to become at Pokémon battles, <player>?"
"I've always wanted to just keep getting stronger."
"As the ice Pokémon Trainer of the Kanto Elite Four, and as the Trainer for my own Pokémon, I can always be stronger."
  • If spoken to again
"I've always been fighting against evildoers who would try to harm my friends."
"Protecting Lapras was easy, thanks to my name as an Elite Four member."
"The secret to my strength is my strong desire to protect Pokémon I love."
  • Random conversation
"What you aim for, what ideals you hold—that's all up to you."
"But don't do anything that would make your Pokémon sad."
"If your heart ever becomes cold as ice..."
"I'll be right there to thaw you out."
"In fact, I might get so heated that you'd get burned."
  • If spoken to again
"I wonder why whenever I look at you..."
"I feel a smile creep onto my face."
  • Random conversation
"I feel like my stuffed-toy collection is going to keep growing as long as I stay on this island."
"Lapras, Swinub, Slowpoke, Seel."
"And they're all in poses that I've never seen anywhere else!"
"Of course I need to buy them all."
"*sigh* There's no way I could choose just one."
  • If spoken to again
"Since I have the opportunity, I might as well try to gather all the stuffed toys."
"But only the cute ones, of course. Could you help me choose?"
  • Special log-in conversation (generic)
"Listen, <player>. Just like how thin ice on a lake gradually thickens..."
"it's important to keep up gradual improvement. You did well to come again today."
  • Special log-in conversation (morning)
"Good morning. Wash your face with cold water—it'll wake you right up."
