Atticus/Quotes

These are Atticus's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Navi Squad's Base
  • Before battle
"Pray forgive my sudden entry. 'Tis I, Atticus! You're that scoundrel, <player>, I take it? You have some nerve baring your fangs at Team Star. Come, then, villainous wretch! A plunge into grim poison shall be your well-deserved fate. En garde!"
  • In battle
After sending out first Pokémon: "Naught but punishment awaits thee, wretch! A plague on your house!"
After first directly dealing damage to the player's Pokémon: "Certain moves can poison with a mere graze. Tremble, scoundrel, for thy Pokémon's sake."
Upon first using Revavroom's Sludge: "This next move is as splendid as it is insidious—behold as it gnaws its target away!"
Upon sending out the Navi Starmobile: "You think to give me a taste of mine own poison? Fie! I will fight on till the bitter end!"
  • After being defeated
"Forgive me, my friends..."
  • In a flashback after being defeated
"Forgive me. It took a goodly time to procure the required materials."
"Ah, yes. The move Flame Charge was my muse for those particular pieces."
"I merely wished to create a costume worthy of the great Infernal Eri. If it aligns with your vision, then I am content."
"The way of the ninja is rough and fraught with thorns. I neither expect nor desire sympathy from the unrefined rabble."
"Indeed it does. Henceforth, I will devote myself heart and soul to honing my battle skills."
  • After the flashback
"For the sake of the team, I would give my very heart and soul...but I cannot defy the rules. Our code must be obeyed. And so, this badge is mine to keep no more. I entrust it to thy care."
"Take this contraption, too. It contains a technique that allows one to cover their foes in gunk."
"<player> is thy name, is it not? You have utterly bested me. But thy victory stir'd no bitterness within me—such was its brilliance."
"M-my compadre?"
"Whatever brought you all the way here?"
"... ... ..."
"Forgive me..."
"Nay, we've heard not a whisper since that fateful day... Without the big boss, Team Star cannot carry on. And without the team, the bright and merry student life we seek lies beyond our reach! We've no choice but to defend our bases till the big boss returns to us!"
"In truth, not one of us has met them in the flesh. By their own word, they are a recluse. As with the rest of us, 'twould seem bullying was to blame."
"Though their name and face be unknown to us, they are nonetheless our precious comrade. Our only choice is to maintain our vigils from the bases, awaiting the day of their return."
"My compadre... I owe you a great debt."
"Haaah... I believ'd Team Star to be the one and only treasure in my life... Methinks I may have been mistaken."
Team Star flashbacks
"I cannot help but concur... "Male students' hair must stray no further than 1.8 inches below the nape" and so forth... Your rules were vexation made manifest!"
"As would I!"
  • After Mela is defeated
"Glad tidings indeed. Is it not so, Ortega?"
"And the big boss? What, pray, is their plan?"
  • After Ortega is defeated
"Come, good fellow. 'Tis no occasion for melancholy. Why, to make such a remarkable contraption by thine own hand... Genius, thy name is Ortega!"
"But the hour of Operation Star is nigh at hand... Will you succeed in time?"
  • After Eri is defeated
"Truly, you need not apologize, my lady. Thanks to thy sage instruction, I am making swift strides towards mastering the art of battle!"
"My lady...we four have each trained in our turn—but you, our steadfast mentor, have rested not once. I cannot help but worry for thy health."
"Indeed. Merely did we declare our intention to battle tooth and nail should the villains persist in their tyrannous oppression. 'Twas a bloodless victory, we assure you!"
"Oh, noble and kind big boss. You cannot..."
"Prithee, speak to us! What is thine intent?"
NaranjaS/Uva AcademyV
  • In the schoolyard, after Penny is defeated
"Verily is thy long-hidden countenance a sight for sore eyes, my lady."
"Hasta la vistar, Cassiopeia! ☆ And hello, Penny!"
"O, mine heart is giddy with glee!"
"I cannot even begin to imagine how you must have fear'd for us, Lady Penny..."
"'Tis true... We would most happily have you at our sides, my lady."
  • In the school store
"Hmmmmmm... I must say, the academy emporium stocks some rather splendid wares. I admit my expectations were far lower than warranted."
"Greetings, my good shopkeep. I would very much like to acquire the limited-edition ninja garments released today. I believe you have five sets in stock, yes?"
"What?! This cannot be!!!"
"If I am unable to procure those garments, why... I... That will ruin everything! It appears I have no choice but to track down this rival patron of mine! And when I find them..."
"I shall fix them with my piercing gaze and beg on bended knee for the ninja garments I so crave!"
"My young compadre! I...I must apologize. About the garments I promised you so that we might dress as ninja together..."
"...I beg your pardon?"
"Goodness me... What a happy turn of events! I shall retrieve my shuriken from my quarters so that we might enjoy some target practice!"
"I can also use my masterful stitchery to transform thy ninja garments into a sublime vision of poison! What say you?"
"Ha ha ha! The insolence of this one!"
"Ah, Lady Eri clad in her academy uniform... I feel mine eyes sharpen and my mind focus each time this vision returns to greet me."
"Oho? What's this?! My ninja senses detect the presence of another behind thee, Lady Eri! Come!!! Step forward, knave, that we might see thy face!"
"Ah. I should have surmis'd as much. The strength of thy spirit precedes thee as ever, good fellow/lady."
"O, glad tidings! I am truly grateful to hear it."
"Ah, Lady Eri in a menacing mood... What a vision of unusual rarity!"
"Lady Mela declared her wish to stretch her legs minutes afore your arrival. She departed rather suddenly and has not return'd since."
"Lady Mela? Is something amiss?"
  • Upon interacting with him
"What I know...is that I know naught. I have fathom'd the depths of mine own ignorance... Ah, noble sensei. Comest thou to proffer me a helping hand? My deepest thanks... Mathematics is the scourge of my existence—in particular, arithmetic! 'Tis an unsolvable mystery. But since my true calling lies in garment design, I feel I need not concern myself with numbers. They have naught to do with fashion, after all!"
Yeah, I guess they don't: "Aha! So our views are in alignment. Then I shan't waste a moment more on arithmetic. The ninja arts are where my focus should lie!"
That's right!: "Splendid! I shall fetch my shuriken forthwith and retire outdoors for target practice!"
"B-but Lady Eri! <Player> hath already approv'd my training in the ninja arts..."
"O, Lady Eri, the melancholy upon thy face cuts me to the core. Perhaps I judg'd poorly... Very well. I will return to the joyless embrace of arithmetic, no matter my wishes to the contrary..."
Hold on a sec: "Hrm? Thou meanst to say my desir'd course of action would be one step too far? Curse thee, arithmetic—my foul nemesis. Yet again you thwart my pursuit of joy..."
"Lady Eri... That decides it! My heart is changed and my mind made up. From now on... I will devote myself to the study of mathematics! HI-YAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
No, you'll need numbers: "Hrmmm... Skill in mathematics will still be of service to me, you say? I do not quite follow..."
"As indeed we should! One must not shy from expense when creating objects of great quality."
"I...I cannot deny it. 'Tis a fair point. Now that I think of it, the garments' dimensions and the cost of materials demand calculation. And if selling one's creations, profit margins, too, come into play... A designer who plays heed to such figures and sums would surely prove the superior artisan! 'Twould seem my thinking was naive... I had turn'd mine eyes from the inconvenient truth. That decides it! My heart is changed and my mind made up. From now on... I will devote myself to the study of mathematics! HI-YAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
  • If interacted with again during the tutoring
"Curse thee, fractional division... Why must I invert the numerator and denominator? Why?!"
If the question was answered correctly: "Well, I learn'd that even arithmetic can be enthralling when engaged with in earnest! Thanks to our esteem'd tutor, I feel enliven'd as a Revavroom drench'd in poison!"
If the question was answered incorrectly: "Were a thousand lifetimes to pass afore I next encounter arithmetic, 'twould still be too soon..."
"Lady Penny, wait!"
"O, Lady Penny..."
"Lady Penny, we are honor'd by thy generosity."
"Indeed! I need not even use my ninja senses, so childishly apparent are thy true feelings!"
Porto Marinada Market
  • When approached for the first time
"Come one, come all! Feast thine eyes on my special garments!"
  • If spoken to for the first time
"Come one, come all! Special garments await thee! Oho?! Why, if it is not <player>! I must thank thee for thine aid during our recent study session. 'Twas truly of great assistance."
What're you up to?/"Special garments," huh?: "Ah, I see I have piqued thine interest! 'Tis clear thou hast a keen eye for quality."
"You see, I, Atticus, had a dream that granted me inspiration for a range of original apparel... I created the garments, then journey'd here to sell them—with the marketeers' permission, of course. The goods at this fine market are peddled via auction, as thou mayst well already know. Therefore, whosoever craves my wares must first triumph in a battle of bargaining!"
  • When approached
"Who amongst you covets the <piece of clothing>?"
  • If spoken to
"I offer a unique creation, design'd by mine own hand: the <piece of clothing>. Bidding shall commence at $100,000. Dost thou wish to join the auction?"
Yes: "Splendid! Then let us advance together to the field of battle!"
No: Nothing.
  • At the start of an auction
"I labored long into the night fashioning this creation—the <piece of clothing>. I ask for $100,000 as the starting piece. Now, begin thy bidding, noble clientele! Have at ye!"
  • When the player bids
"Oho! A bid from <player> for $<price>!"
  • After all clients bid
"The highest bid rests at $<price>! Pray tell, who amongst you hath the spirit to bid again?!"
  • At the end of an auction, if the player loses or withdraws
"I declare this item sold to the valued patron here for $<price>!"
  • At the end of an auction, if the player wins
"With that, I declare the bidding done! This auction's victor is <player>! The final price came to...$<price>! Now come! Claim thy rightful prize!"
  • After an auction, if the player wins
"It feels me with great joy to see thee purchase garments crafted by mine own hand."
  • After the first five auctions
"Rest assured—that was not the last of my works! Look forward with glee to my next revelation..."
  • After the last auction
"Ohoho! With that last purchase, thou art now the proud owner of all of my works! A glorious occasion! A wonderful achievement! I truly have no words to express my gratitude! As thanks, allow me to teach thee a pose that it essential for a connoisseur of the fine arts!"
"And thus the Atticus Emporium closes its doors! I bid thee farewell!"
Navi Squad's Base
  • Upon initiating a Star Barrage rematch
"Thy goal is 50 Pokémon, to be defeated in the span of 10 fleeting minutes. Hark, Navi Squad, my knights o'th' battle! The time for feast and sport is upon us!"
  • Upon losing or forfeiting a Star Barrage rematch
"My subordinates have grown strong. I would advise thee to likewise look to thy training."
  • Upon winning a Star Barrage rematch
"The defeat of 50 Pokémon by thy hand took...<number> minute(s) and <number> second(s) precisely!"
"Take <number> LP as a most deserved reward. Hasta la vistar, my good fellow/lady! ☆"
  • When approached
"Why, if it is not <player>!"
  • If spoken to
"Good day, <player>. Com'st thou to spar with me?"
Yes: "Though I am grateful for thy coming here, be warned—I shall spare thee no mercy! En garde!"
No: "More's the pity..."
  • In battle
After sending out first Pokémon: "There is no night nor day that I do not spend in training! Behold the fruits of my labor!"
Upon first using Revavroom's Poison Jab: "I shall show thee the truest essence of poison! Tremble 'fore its grim and deadly beauty!"
Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "Even a single drop of poison can kill! 'Tis far too early to rest assured of thy victory."
Upon being defeated: "Strength of position cannot prevail o'er strength of union. How could I forget?"
  • After being defeated
"You came here to train, yet I am the one who must learn from YOU. Magnificent! Hasta la vistar, my good fellow/lady! ☆"
  • If spoken to again on the same day
"I shall take no more challenges today. Return on the morrow to battle again, should you wish."

  • Pasio's Artists

"But the school uniform is for everyone."

"Of course! I, too, am human...yet I shall not abandon my quest!"

  • Off-screen
"I was pondering garment designs while spending time with Revavroom."

"I suppose one could say it's a combination of our talents!"
  • On-screen
"Thanks to my esteem'd partner Pokémon, I feel enliven'd as a Revavroom drench'd in poison!"
So you help each other out!: "Indeed. We support each other in the areas we lack and have been working hard at bettering ourselves."
What a great relationship!: "Indeed! I stand here today thanks to Revavroom, and Revavroom is here because of me!"
"Together, our abilities are enhanced severalfold."
"'Tis our way as a sync pair!"
"Also, a relationship of mutual improvement is not limited to just us."
"Perhaps now is a good time to bring up Team Star's secret weapons. They are modified Pokémon-powered vehicles..."
"The Starmobiles! Allow me to tell you the tale of how they came to be."
"The bodies of the vehicles were built by Ortega..."
"and each part is supported by the collaborative effort of Pokémon such as Revavroom!"
"At first, we lacked the firepower to move the vehicles..."
"But such issues were overcome by Mela's relentless endeavors!"
"And so, with the combined efforts of Pokémon and Team Star bosses, the Starmobiles came to be!"
"One could even call them the fruits of Team Star's bond."
"My Revavroom was not part of a Starmobile..."
"But that is not because he did not have the skills required."
"'Twas a decision made out of respect for each of our strengths."

"make sure to treasure them, <player>!"
