Kabu/Quotes

These are Kabu's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Sword and Shield

Galar Mine No. 2
"Thank you for helping out with my training, Team Yell! But I must say... it's unforgivable for you to get in the way of a Carkol hard at work!"
"Cheering is one thing, but one shouldn't get in the way of honest work! "
"Ah, you are the Trainers endorsed by Leon! Hop and <player>, am I right? I'm just training right up until the last moment so that I can guarantee the perfect match when I face you Gym Challengers! I specialize in Fire-type Pokémon, and the Water-type Pokémon in Galar Mine No. 2 are the perfect opponents to train against!"
"Regardless, it's getting late. Just go straight once you get out of this mine, and you'll reach Motostoke. Get a good rest at the hotel, and make sure you're both in your top condition! Come on, Carkol. Time for you to head on home, too. I'll make sure you get there safely"
"We're going to be on fire tomorrow!"
Motostoke Stadium
  • Before battle
"Welcome! I am Kabu, the Fire-type Gym Leader. The fact that you are here means you've bested both Milo's Grass-type Pokémon and Nessa's Water types, too. That's quite an accomplishment! Every Trainer and Pokémon trains hard in pursuit of victory. But that means your opponent is also working hard to win. In the end, the match is decided by which side is able to unleash their true potential."
  • In battle
Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "Light that fire and get your mind moving, Kabu! There still must be a path to victory!"
Upon Gigantamaxing Centiskorch: "Burn bright, Centiskorch. Let Gigantamax change your size and your form!"
Upon first using Centiskorch's G-Max Centiferno: "Flame always burn upwards, and so we'll always aim to go higher. You understand, don't you?"
Upon being defeated: "Great Pokémon and a great Trainer! It's no surprise that you won!"
  • After being defeated
"I'm often regarded as the first real roadblock of the Gym Challenge, and yet you defeated me! Clearly, your talent surpassed my many years of experience. I still have much to learn!"
"I know now that you and your Pokémon will become a fantastic team. I'm glad I could battle you today! Let me give you a Fire Badge as proof that you've defeated me!"
"Thanks to the Dynamax phenomenon, our Pokémon battles have become part of the Galar region's culture. And it's the young Trainers who are responsible for keeping our culture alive. Of course, I hope that instead of just keeping it alive, you also help it become something better. We adults will be the pillars for you to build on."
Motostoke
"There are many Trainers who never manage to gather three Gym Badges, and they just give up on the Gym Challenge altogether... So I make a point to see of any Trainers who are able to defeat me."
"So, allow me to send you off with a proper, sporty chant!"
"Hustle, hustle, hustle, Hop! You can do it, you can do it, <player>!"
"The Gym Leaders you will face ahead are all tough opponents. But I believe that you will prevail! Believe in your Pokémon and keep pushing on!"
Wyndon Stadium
  • If talked to in the locker room
"I'll always press on and challenge myself so that I can go on as a Pokémon Trainer for as long as possible. As long as you continue to push yourself, your brilliance will never fade."
  • During Champion Cup rematches
  • Before battle
"A tournament that ends when you lose! Whoever can keep up the heat will win!"
  • In battle
Upon being defeated: "Good Pokémon and a great Trainer! It's no surprise that you won!"
  • After being defeated
"I really enjoy battling you. It's a great way for me to feel my own growth! And I plan to keep growing and battling, until I become an old coot that nobody can beat!"
Motostoke Stadium
  • In the post-game
"Champion <player>! And Piers and Hop, too!"
"Of course I do! You two were red-hot, after all! I'll never forget seeing you off after you'd completed your first leg of the Gym Challenge."
"Right! Actually...the situation's getting pretty bad over at the stadium."
"Ah, brilliant! The opponent's a bit much to take on single-handedly, so I was wondering what to do. But with you all at my side, my confidence in this battle is burning brighter by the minute! Let's begin!"
"Looks like we were able to extinguish things this time. I'll let this Pokémon rest here at Motostoke Stadium until it gets its energy back. And, <player>, should you have need of my help, please do not hesitate to ask."
"Don't worry—I know... You all have more work that needs to be done, yes? Go forward, youths! I wish you well!"
Isle of Armor
  • When first spoken to
"Champion <player>! Your passion for training must burn red-hot if it's led you all the way to the Isle of Armor!"
"I've got to keep on running so I don't get left in your dust!"
"Centiskorch's burning body's been known to start fires in grassy fields! When that happens, I douse it with water from a bottle I bring along!"
"In forests, one tends to meet a lot of Grass and Bug types! Having a Fire type like Centiskorch along is a big help!"
"What better for long training runs than a nice, long staircase? I've gone and gotten a tad carried away and done 100 laps, so I'm enjoying a nice break!"
"This place is teeming with Water types—just like Galar Mine No. 2! What a great spot for training!"
"Training in the water is very tough for my team! So I just do enough swimming for Centiskorch and me both!"
"I met my Torkoal in the Potbottom Desert! Since its Ability changes the weather, I suggested to Raihan that he think about catching one. Turns out he took me up on it, so now we're Tor-colleagues!"
"This type of calm weather is ideal for training! Hup, two, three, four!"
  • During overcast conditions
"Clouds may hide the sun, but they don't keep all its ultraviolet rays from getting through! That's why I like to wear a hat or some sun cream and stay well hydrated!"
  • During rain or thunderstorms
"Rain puts a damper on the power of my blazing moves. Best to send those rain clouds packing with Sunny Day or Max Flare!"
"If you can't overcome a sandstorm, you're in for a tough time against Raihan! This is fine weather for concocting a strategy to counter him!"
"You can meet different Pokémon depending on the weather! I wonder what species I'd run into in this fog?"
Wyndon Stadium (Galarian Star Tournament)
Invitational tournament
  • In the lobby
"I've already chosen my partner. Forgive me, but allow me to remain your opponent this time—and let the sparks fly!"
Subsequent tournaments
  • In the locker room
  • Before the first round
"<player>! You are both my partner and my rival in this contest! I will expend my strength as much as I am able to at your side—while learning from your example!"
  • Before the second round
"That last battle raged hotter than even flame. But we can't be reduced to ash just yet. We need to burn even brighter before it's over!"
  • Before the final round
"The flames of my strength... They have been fanned by your wind, Champion <player>! Having made it this far, there is nowhere left for us to go but the very top!"
  • Field conversations
  • Against Milo
"You can't fool me, Milo! I know your plants aren't that easy to deal with!"
  • Against Nessa
"I would certainly like to live up to your high expectations, Nessa. Let me turn up the heat!"
  • Against Raihan
"I have a trick up my sleeve for taking on dragons. Don't get caught off guard, Raihan!"
  • Against Peony
"Brace yourself, Peony! Our flames are about to melt through your steel!"
  • Against Milo while partnered with Nessa
"Well now, it's us three good friends and the Champion, all here together!"
  • Against Milo and Nessa
"Yeah, I remember sending you off with a good round of cheering at Motostoke!"
  • Against Nessa while partnered with Milo
"Oh, um, well... We have that lift in Motostoke?"
  • Against Opal and Mustard
"No need to flatter me, Opal. Compared to you two, I'm just a whippersnapper!"
  • On the field, while partnered with the player
  • Before the first round, randomly selected
"This is the very first match, and I can already sense that sparks are going to fly! Watch out for burns!"
"Let's go, Champion! Time to set the stadium on fire!"
  • Before the second round, randomly selected
"Hustle, hustle, hustle, <player>! You can do it, you can do it, Kabu! ...Sorry."
"Don't let our victory go to your head. The next opponent's going to be strong!"
  • Before the final round, randomly selected
"We can win this! We can reach the top! We've got this, OK?"
"This is the final battle! Don't burn out until the very end!"
  • In battle, while facing the player
After sending out first Pokémon:
With Milo: "I'm counting on you, Milo! Let's show everyone what this team can do!"
With Nessa: "We'll burn away any plants that try to wring you dry, Nessa!"
With Peony: "Not a bad idea! Say, if we win, why don't you come back to the League?"
Upon sending out last Pokémon: "Come on, Kabu—you can still win! Burn a path through to victory!"
Upon Gigantamaxing Centiskorch: "Let your flames scorch all of Galar! I believe in you, Centiskorch!"
Upon first using Centiskorch's G-Max Centiferno: "The only place I'm going is to the top! I'll blaze my way through each battle!"
Upon being defeated: "This aching in my knees will be the fuel that sends me surging to new heights of strength!"
  • After being defeated
  • In the first round
"Defeat is frustrating, but we can use that feeling to become stronger. Battle us again sometime!"
  • In the second round
"We give our burning desire for victory to you! Win the final match for us, OK?"
  • In the final round
"That was a white-hot match, fitting for the final battle of the tournament. Congratulations, you two!"
  • Upon winning the tournament
  • First time
"A fine performance, <player>! We've claimed victory here together! I could almost combust with joy, and I'm already looking forward to our next match together!"
  • Subsequent times
"We burned brightly in this latest tournament as well! I thank you for choosing me to battle beside you once again, <player>!"

Story Event - Middle-Aged Opposites
  • Veteran Trainers Assemble!
"Veterans, huh..."
  • Plain and Simple
"Hm?"
  • In flashback
"Veterans, huh..."
  • Back to present
"You're...Larry, right? From the Paldea region!"
"You were at the workshop earlier! Great to see you again!"
"Why, thank you! How thoughtful."
"I don't have a business card, but—ah, I know! You can have this!"
"Anyhow, those workshops sure are great, huh?"
"I learned a lot from interacting with younger Trainers!"
"After all, life's all about training for as long as you're alive!"
"Hahaha! I suppose that's another way to think of it!"
"That said, as long as my body can move and my motivation to fight burns strong, I'll keep on running!"
"Well..."
"Mind if I tell you a bit about myself?"
  • The Ever-Burning Man
"I've been a Trainer for a long time, and I've experienced a lot in the course of my life."
"There are times, such as today, when I'm even referred to as a "veteran.""
"That said, I'm always going to have the mindset of a rookie."
"When I felt stuck in a rut as a Gym Leader, a young man showed me how to get out of it."
"That young man was Leon, the unbeatable Champion of Galar!"
"I moved from Hoenn to Galar because I got scouted."
"I was burning with motivation, but I wasn't performing as well as I'd hoped."
"But in my battle with Leon, I found the potential within me that helped me improve!"
"Since then, I've had a fresh start, and I'm doing quite well so far in the major division!"
"After going through all that, I don't want to get complacent because people call me a veteran..."
"I'd rather keep burning—fueled and inspired by Trainers of all ages!"
"... ... ..."
"Oh, nothing! Let's keep going, shall we?"
"Sticking around, Larry?"
"Larry."
"I have an early day tomorrow. Mind if I head back with you?"
  • Different Values
"Hahaha! You saw right through me, huh."
"Larry, is it true that you work double duty as a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member?"
"Is that the only reason?"
"I can tell you're a very skilled Trainer, Larry."
"You were asked to join the workshops as a veteran Trainer, so I'm sure you have lots of experience."
"I guess I'm wondering why you're so...meek."
"And, admittedly, I'm also wondering if you have something weighing on your mind..."
"I thought you might be stuck in the same sort of rut I was in back in the day."
"Really?"
"Ordinary?"
"I see."
"You and I have different values and ways of life."
"Bwahahaha! I guess it's tough being a working stiff in Paldea!"
"I didn't realize that was just your style. I'm sorry if I overstepped any boundaries..."
"Well, you've certainly opened my eyes, Larry! Thank you!"
"If you ever need to vent about that boss of yours, I'm happy to lend you an ear!"
  • Knocking Out Tasks
"...I know you're there."
"You've been following me. What do you want?"
"You underestimate me."
"I'll help you rethink your rotten motives!"
"Guess I'm outnumbered..."
"What?! How did you—"
"...Of course."
"You decided to ambush me after hearing me at the workshop."
"(This isn't good... Light that fire and get your mind moving, Kabu!)"
"(There still must be a path out of this situation!)"
  • Off-screen
"Larry?!"
  • On-screen
"In that case, would you like to lend me a hand here, Larry?"
"I'm in a bit of a sticky situation right now—not sure I can get out of it on my own!"
"OK! Time to resume my lecture..."
"Hope you're ready for an earful... Old-timers like us tend to spin quite the yarn!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Kabu
"Did you both come here to train as well? Brilliant! You two are on fire!"
"Sure, I don't mind! Let's get to it!"
"Hm? Are you OK, <player>?"
"You don't look so good. Is the heat here too much for you?"
So...hot...: "That's not good! Here, take my water bottle!"
You two aren't hot?!: "Not at all! We're constantly surrounded by Fire-type Pokémon!"
"I can see how the heat from this volcano might be too intense for someone who's not a dedicated Fire-type Trainer..."
"But that heat is exactly why I choose to train here!"
"I bet you can tell from this distance, but Centiskorch emanates extreme heat from its body."
"If I'm not used to high temperatures, I won't be able to perform at my fullest!"
"In the end, the match is decided by which side is able to unleash their true potential..."
"That's why places like this are perfect for training!"
"Lavaridge's hot springs, huh... Now that takes me back! Another great place to train!"
"Speaking of which, let's start our training!"
"How does a Pokémon battle sound to you two?"
"I'd like to learn from you youngsters!"
Count me in!: "There we go, <player>! All fired up!"
You want to learn from us?: "Of course!"
"I can pass on my knowledge and experience as a long-time Gym Leader..."
"and in return, I could get some new perspectives and ideas from you two!"
"As long as we're alive, we should keep on learning and training!"
"All right, then—let's have a white-hot Pokémon battle!"
"We'll show this volcano a thing or two about heat!"
Pokémon Center
  • During sync background preview
"Flames always burn upwards, and so we'll always aim to go higher. You understand, don't you?"
  • During sync background preview (Gym)
"I believe that you will prevail! Believe in your Pokémon and keep pushing on!"
  • Random conversation
"Seeing young Trainers work hard sets my soul ablaze with determination!"
"As long as we're alive, we should keep on learning and training!"
  • Random conversation

"No matter what you do, the most important thing is never forgetting where you started."
"With the right care, you can keep the fire in your heart burning indefinitely."
"That's why I'll always consider myself a challenger!"
  • Random conversation
"Pasio isn't just home to young Trainers, but to veteran Trainers as well!"
"I can learn from veteran Trainers and get inspired by the young ones. It's truly ideal!"
  • Random conversation
"I'm going to train with the other Fire-type users next time. Would you like to join us, <player>?"
"You won't regret it—our top-notch Training will leave you burning red-hot!"
  • Random conversation
"There was a time when I kept losing, and I was struggling to figure out what to do."
"But during a battle against Leon, I realized my potential, and forged a new path because of that."
"There is no such thing as a dead end in the long road of life!"
  • If spoken to again
"Every day was a challenge back then, but I toughed it out—and the experience changed me."
"When faced with a problem, it's important you take some time to think about ways to tackle it instead of just giving up."
"I'm glad I got to pass all of this on to you!"
  • Random conversation
"I'm often regarded as the first real roadblock of Galar's Gym Challenge."
"As such, I've watched many a dispirited Trainer abandon the Gym Challenge after losing to me..."
"When Trainers actually manage to defeat me, I make a point to see them off when they leave Motostoke."
  • If spoken to again
"Where there are winners, there must be losers..."
"That's the harsh reality of battling."
"But hanging your head and moping won't change anything!"
"Just like how fire burns upwards, when things are tough, keep your head high!"
  • Special log-in conversation (generic)
"Hey, <player>! Welcome!"

Friendship Story - A Special Day with Kabu: Part 1
  • Off-screen
"Oh, <player>! What a coincidence, running into you here!"
  • After appearing
"You seem a bit sad. Did something happen?"
(Respond honestly.): "I see... So you haven't been winning many battles recently, and that's why you're sad..."
(Explain while avoiding eye contact.): "I see. So you've been losing battles, and that's made you sad..."
"Thank you for telling me what happened."
"I know how painful a losing streak can be."
"I've been in one myself. When you're experiencing a slump, it's hard to get out of it."
"When that happens to me..."
"I try out all sorts of things!"
"I'll test new combinations of Pokémon moves, Abilities, and items... Once I get an idea, I immediately give it a go!"
"That's my method, at least. Why don't you give it a try?"
"That's the spirit, <player>!"
"Keep on training as long as you're alive! Let's get fired up!"
"I think you've got the hang of it now, from the looks of it!"
"Hm? You want to know what you can do to thank me?"
"Well... In that case..."
"Would you consider accompanying me for a bit of rest and relaxation?"
Friendship Story - A Special Day with Kabu: Part 2
"OK, <player>. Is there anything you'd like to do, or a place you'd like to see?"
(Say you'd like to visit some hot springs.): "Hot springs? I wasn't aware you liked that sort of thing..."
(Say you want to eat a Hoenn specialty.): "A Hoenn specialty? That's awful specific, but..."
"*chuckle* Oh, I get it."
"You're very kind, <player>."
"I appreciate that! Now, let's get to relaxing!"
"What a fun day that was!"
"You've got your smile back, too. I'm so glad."
"To tell you the truth..."
"The reason why I called out to you the other day was because I'd heard you were having a rough time."
"Maybe I was being a nosy old man, but I thought I'd try to cheer you up."
"When I finally saw you for myself, though..."
"Well, you looked just the way I did back when I was stuck in a rut."
"I couldn't let you carry on like that."
"As a Gym Leader, I'm responsible for testing challengers..."
"It pains me to see a Trainer give in to despair just because they've been defeated."
"Though it can be hard at times, I hope younger Trainers like you can believe in their own potential and keep on trying!"
"That's why I was so relieved when I saw you climb out of the rut you were in!"
"Everyone has the capacity to start over, no matter when or where they choose to do it!"
"Never let despair distinguish the flames of your determination!"
