Brassius/Quotes

These are Brassius's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Artazon Gym

Before battle

"Greetings, challenger!"

"Hmph!"

"You did well to come this far!"

"I am Brassius—an artist specializing in Grass-type Pokémon. I am also the Gym Leader here at the Artazon Gym."

"I was observing your Gym Test from atop the windmill, you know. The perception you displayed in finding Sunflora was truly... Oh, how shall I describe it?"

"Yes! It was truly avant-garde!"

"I only pray that you might demonstrate that eye for beauty in our battle as well."

"Enough talk! We must begin creating our collaborative work of art!"

"I trust that you are ready? It is time for our masterpiece to take shape!"

In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "Art is creation and destruction! Struggle, else your defeat will nourish my Pokémon!"

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "This has promise! Yes! Let us lead this artistic endeavor to its conclusion at once!"

Upon Terastallizing his Sudowoodo: "Allow me to touch this work up slightly! I will call it... “Truleewoodo”!"

Upon first using Sudowoodo's Trailblaze: "At times, art becomes a race against the clock! Let us increase the pace!"

Upon being defeated: "Avant-garde!"

After being defeated

"Oh! What artistic tactics you employ!"

"The patterns of your moves! The minute details of your Pokémon's performance! Everything you did was honed to perfection!"

"Our battle was, in a word, art! Indeed, if we could not call that a work of artistry, then nothing else in this world could be labeled as such!"

"If I were to judge your work, I would say it passes my inspection. Yes—a pass without exception!"

"As proof of your artistic prowess, you may have my Gym Badge! Shall we take a photo as well?"

If the player has less than eight Gym Badges: "If you possess <number of Badges> Gym Badge/Badges, it will be easier to catch Pokémon of up to Lv. <level>, and those Pokémon should follow your commands as well!"

If the player has all eight Gym Badges: "If you possess 8 Gym Badges, you will be able to catch Pokémon of any level. And they will most certainly obey your every command as well!"

"To a fantastic Trainer such as yourself, I would also like to offer this—a favorite of mine!"

"Ah! My inspiration is overflowing, as if drawn from a bottomless well!"

"I will begin on a new piece at once! You must excuse me. Farewell!"

Artazon

"Avant-garde!"

"You are <player>—no! You are the artist <player>-garde!"

Regardless of choice: "That is of no consequence!"

"Each time I recall our artistic battle, I've found myself wishing to face you once again..."

"I am so very glad that you are here! Praise Mother Nature!"

"I had planned to meet with the Top Champion today, but I have just now canceled that plan! Shall we instead talk of art together?"

Regardless of choice: "What? You came in the Top Champion's stead? Well, I cannot be bothered by that."

"I don't care what the reason is—if we can make a masterpiece together once more, then fine!"

"Well then, <player>, are you ready to open wide a door to the world of art?"

Yes: "Avant-garde! Very well, then. Let us head to my studio."

No: "Not avant-garde! I simply cannot contain my excitement to face you in battle once more. Come back as soon as you are able!"

If talked to again after selecting No: "Greetings, <player>! Are you ready to open wide a door to the world of art?"

Artazon Gym

Before rematch battle

"Behold, <player>, the sight of Artazon's windmill!"

"It catches the winds that blow across Paldea and, slowly yet powerfully, spins ever on."

"My leaping down from that windmill to appear before those who would challenge my Gym lends an added depth to our battles!"

Regardless of choice: "I knew you would understand my reasoning, <player>! Hahahaha!"

"Though I believe I can spare my legs today, as we are sure to create my greatest masterpiece yet—even if I do not alight from above!"

"But I digress. We are both artists, are we not? We have no further use for words now."

"I assume you are ready? Let our collaborative work of art begin!"

In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "Let us ponder the art we will create together, <player>!"

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "This work's concept is the deep-rooting nature of plants! A briar's thorns are not easily removed!"

Upon Terastallizing his Sudowoodo: "I do hope this work lives up to my expectations! I shall call it “Truleewoodoo Part 2”!"

Upon first using Sudowoodo's Trailblaze: "My dear grass… grow, I say! Heed my wishes and grow!"

Upon being defeated: "Ahhh…vant-garde!"

After being defeated

"Seeing you in the midst of battle—you are like a unique gradient, subtly changing hues!"

"Riotous and yet gentle! Such contrast... I lack the words to express it. My hat goes off to you!"

"My battles with you are truly a gift. Each time, I am made to remember how I felt so long ago when I first ventured into this world of art."

"Ah, I almost forgot. You were here for the Gym inspection in the Top Champion’s stead, correct?"

"Well, that is of no consequence. Report on my Gym here as you see fit."

"Ah! My inspiration is overflowing, as if drawn from a bottomless well!"

"I will begin on a new piece at once! You must excuse me. Farewell!"

Uva Academy^S/Naranja Academy^V

"I am Brassius. I am an artist, and I focus exclusively on Grass-type Pokémon for my work."

"Yes...I do recognize some faces among your students."

"I hope you all understand how fortunate you are to be able to attend Hass’s classes."

"Ol' Hass is the man who saved me when I had lost all hope and given up on myself."

"But he never gave up on me. I do not exaggerate when I say that he is my mentor in life!"

"It is precisely thanks to Hass that I was able to establish my current art style."

"Of course!"

"Let's see... Ah, why don't we discuss what Hass mentioned—Surrendering Sunflora?"

"Can anyone here tell what my mood was when I crafted its detached expression?"

Regardless of answer: "No, no, no... Completely and utterly wrong!"

"When I made that sculpture, I had surrendered all hope. I was prepared to give up everything."

"I had resolved to give up my life as an artist if that piece did not receive proper recognition."

"That's exactly it, Hass!"

"When I started out as an artist, I experienced many hardships. I even became deathly ill and fell into a slump that drove me to desperation."

"I began worrying only about what would sell. I was concerned only with fame and fortune..."

"But all of my pieces during this time had no depth. They were all shallow trash!"

"It was then that I met Hass. He helped me realize how petty I was being. I'll spare you the details...but in the end I was able to leave all that behind!"

"And that is also when I crafted the Sunflora!"

"This kind of thing is hard to tell someone, especially when they are so close to you."

"Now, I don't doubt that you adolescents will often find your heads crowded with worries."

"My advice to you is simple. Be honest with yourself, and do whatever your heart desires....So long as you don't cause trouble, that is."

"That is all from me."

"I must admit I am beginning to feel a bit embarrassed, so I bid you farewell, Hass! And farewell to your pupils as well!"

League Club Room

First visit

"I thought I might come see what this was about, since I was invited by a fellow true artist like <player>-garde..."

"But my word! The design of this room! It goes beyond all pedestrian understanding of what a room should be! Truly avant-garde!"

"<player>, I thank you for inviting me to this place."

"I only recently finished my latest piece, and so I rushed over to find a bit of rest and reprieve."

"It seems that no matter the region, the wild creature known as the “adolescent” changes little, no?"

"But that dome! That magnificent Terarium! It’s the perfect “mariage” of environments, inspiring in me an unyielding desire to create!"

That’s really great!: "How curious it is that my happiness should bring you happiness as well!"

You mean “marriage”?: "No, I mean “mariage”—the perfect blending of different elements that results in great art! No word in our native tongue conveys such elegance!"

"I would love to climb up to that mysterious objet d’art dangling from the ceil of the dome. What sights I might gaze down upon from there!"

Second visit

"Apropos of nothing, <player>, I must ask—!"

"There is another famed artist here in the Unova region. Do you know of him?"

Of course I do!: "Oh, how broad and rich your education is! Yes, I suspected you would already know..."

I have no idea: "Is that right! Well, if you do not know, I simply must inform you!"

"I speak of that famed painter of bug Pokémon, whose works have such depth and pathos!"

"I find myself quite curious about him, as it seems that we may be alike in temperament. We both strive to propel ourselves to the height of artistic creation by focusing on a single type..."

"I’ve heard he maintains a gallery of his work in Castelia City. Perhaps I shall pay it a visit..."

Third visit

"I visited the gallery of that famed painter I spoke of before. The one in Castelia City."

"It was truly...avant-garde!"

"There was silk like Tarountula’s, spun into masterful sculptures that whisk one around like fantastic elevators!"

"I rode up and down countless times for the sheer joy of it!"

"Upon which I gradually became all tangled up in the webbing and was transformed into a cocoon!"

"That’s right... Before I even realized what was happening, I myself had become a part of the fibrous art. It was wondrous!"

That sounds great!: "Yes, you and I truly understand one another! You should come join me as an apprentice in the future, <player>! I’ll teach you all I know!"

I don’t get it: "You fail to understand? Hmm. Now I wonder if what I experienced was perhaps not intended by the artist..."

"You know, now that I think back on my visit, that gallery had no paintings on display. Was it truly an art gallery at all?"

"Hahahaha! I suppose it matters naught! Talking to you, <player>, is a pleasure regardless—one that makes me forget time is even passing."

"I imagine you must feel the same! And for such a like-minded ally in art, I have a proposal to make..."

"Would you like to engage in an artistic exchange of Pokémon with me?"

Yes: "Very good, <player>-garde! I will offer up one of my Sunflora! How will you meet such a challenge?!"

After selecting a Pokémon: "Will you exchange your <Pokémon> for my Sunflora?"

No: "A Pokémon trade is an exchange of lives. It is wise to give it all due consideration."

Talking to him after refusing: "Have you decided you would like to trade with me after all?"

If the player only has one Pokémon in their party: "Wait, no! Have you taken leave of your senses?! You can’t trade with only a single Pokémon! Be certain you have at least two Pokémon in your party if you wish to make our exchange!"

After the trade: "<Pokémon>! What a beguiling choice. I can feel inspiration welling up within me! Your eye for beauty delights me once again!"

Rematch

"I have some time before my next lecture. Care to collaborate with me in the art of battle?"

Yes: "Superb! Then let us move to the entrance of the school with great artistic flair!"

No: "There’s nothing to be done about it if you lack the necessary passion. I will not force you."

In battle

Upon sending his last Pokémon: "Good! Very avant-garde! Continue creating more art in this vein!"

Upon Terastallizing his Sudowoodo: "Let us make hay while the sun shines! I dub this masterpiece: “Truleewoodo Forever”!"

Upon having his Terastallized Sudowoodo use Trailblaze: "Time to pick up the pace! A Trainer like you ought to be able to keep up—but will you?!"

Upon being defeated: "Avant-GARDE!"

After player wins first battle

"Hahahaha! You have claimed an artistic win!"

"Our collaborations are always the greatest of works! Your sense for art is honed to perfection!"

"My thanks to you. I will bestow on you the latest merchandise to be sold at my exhibits. You’ll be the first to get one."

Player receives Surrendering Sunflora Case: "It took the designers over six months to meet my exacting standards, but at last we made true art."

After subsequent battles

If defeated by the player: "Hahahaha! What an artistic defeat! Since you’ve already gotten the best of me, you might as well take a little more!"

Player obtains a reward

"I can’t hold back this flood of inspiration... Leave me here, so I might continue to savor this feeling!"

If defeated the player: "So this time you served to nourish my Pokémon! The occasional defeat is a necessarily evil. Our pain can inspire the greatest art!"

Talking to after rematch

"The architecture of this academy displays a great sense of design. I would like to know the name of the architect who devised it..."

"In Pokémon battles, there will be times of struggle. The same is true of art. But you must not abandon these pursuits. It is when you stop struggling that you wither away."

"You have had the opportunity to take Hass’s classes back in Paldea, have you not? You should be aware of how lucky you are as you make your way in life."

"I’d love to do a carving of the <Pokémon> you entrusted me with, at some point. It is truly avant-garde!"

"Is the Sunflora I entrusted you with flourishing? You must be diligent in ensuring he gets enough sunlight and water."

If player selected Brassius as favorite gym leader when asked by Geeta: "La Primera stopped by to whisper a little secret in my ear, not long ago. She said that when you were asked to name your favorite Gym Leader, you said it was me! If I’ve been deemed worthy by your great eye, <player>-garde, I can aspire no higher! Let our next collaboration together be one that I dedicate to the theme of “Gratitude”!"
