These are Ortega's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Ruchbah Squad's Base
  • Before battle
"Huh. So you're <player>... Okaaay..."
"Talk about underwhelming. I was expecting someone, I dunno, a little more beefed up?"
"Well, whatever! I don't care who you are. Not like I'm gonna lose to you anyway."
"If you think Fairy types are all about cuteness, you're in for a nasty surprise!"
  • In battle
After sending out first Pokémon: "I promise I'll play nice, so don't blame me when this battle sends you blubbering back home!"
After first directly dealing damage to the player's Pokémon: "Oopsie. Did you just realize how outsmarted you are? If you wanna give up, now's the time!"
Upon first using Dachsbun's Play Rough: "Have a taste of this slick move! Betcha can't handle my Pokémon's adorable strength!"
Upon sending out the Ruchbah Starmobile: "What the HECK?! Why is MY team on the ropes? That's totally not fair!"
  • After being defeated
"Ugh! How could I LOSE! What the HECK!"
  • In a flashback after being defeated
"Arrrghhh! What the HECK!!!"
"I told you—it's not a toy! It's called the Starmobile, and I was up all night building it!"
"I'm sorry... I really thought it would work..."
"Yeah, well...there's no point if it doesn't work, is there? If I knew all that effort would have zero payout, I'd have just asked Mother to buy a car for us..."
"Wha—?"
"... ... ..."
"... ... ..."
"I know..."
"Guh. This sucks..."
  • After the flashback
"This sucks! I hate myself for losing, but I also can't get over how awesome you were in that battle!"
"If any of us squad bosses are defeated, that means we have to step down. And going against our code would make me a traitor to the team..."
"Gah, FINE! Not like I have a choice anyway, so take the badge already! You'd better treat it with the respect it deserves!"
"I'm not done yet... Here's my favorite TM, too. Feel free to marvel at how awesome it is."
"And just so you know? You are the WORST! Like, the most annoying person EVER!"
"But I get it—you're super strong. I'll admit that much! You even busted up my Starmobile!"
"Mr. Harrington!"
"I guess it's time for my piano lesson, huh?"
"As it happens, I just lost my boss title, so I'm all good to head home..."
"Okaaay... What's your business here?"
"What a question to ask someone you've just met."
"Well, my answer's the same as everyone else in the team... It's 'cause I was being bullied."
"Who would guess, right? The school is all rainbows and butterflies these days."
"And the bullies from back then don't even go to the academy anymore."
"Mr. Harrington..."
"HUH?! No...no one told me that!"
"Hang on, Mr. Harrington! How come you suddenly decided to talk about this now?!"
"Well, there's no way I'm abandoning my friends and going to school without them. Not after we've come so far!"
"Isn't that obvious?"
"It's 'cause, you know...they're my greatest treasure in the whole world."
Team Star flashbacks
"What's up, Giacomo? Did something happen?"
"But you always know what's best for the team, Giacomo! You look out for us!"
  • After Mela is defeated
"I'm just surprised she's not all hot air..."
"As if you're any better, Mela... Being rude and saying mean things is literally your whole deal."
"You're so good at these sorts of crafty things, Atticus. Those people bullying you 'cause you geek out over old-fashioned stuff are out of their minds."
  • After Eri is defeated
"And I could never have evolved my Pokémon without you, Eri!"
"Um, just one thing..."
"We've been training for four whole hours now. I'm totally pooped."
"Yeah! They didn't even send out their Pokémon—they just blubbered and apologized a whole lot... Our outifts must've spooked them good!"
"Hey, Big Boss! Answer us!!"
NaranjaS/Uva AcademyV
  • In the schoolyard, after Penny is defeated
"So, um, I heard your real name's Penny? How've you been this whole time?"
"Hasta la vistar, Cassiopeia! ☆ And hello, Penny!"
"You mean Operation Starfall? Director Clavell told us about it!"
"This may be a weird thing to say since the STCs are supposed to be a punishment and all, but you should totally join in too, Penny!"
  • In the entrance hall
"Well, duh."
"Sure, the teachers finally figured out we're not a bunch of delinquents..."
"But it's not like we can press some magic button to make everyone else accept us."
"A "change of tack," huh? What exactly are you suggesting?"
"WHAT?! That's stupid! Go on and embarrass yourself if you want to, but count me out!"
"Yeah, that makes sense. 'Cause those are CONCERTS. This is SCHOOL. It's different."
"N-no... That'd totally suck."
"Oh nooo! Giacomo! What are you DOING?! This is SO embarrassing!"
"Hold on a sec! You...you're just practicing for your DJ sets, aren't you?"
"TH-THANKS FOR COMING TONIGHT!!!"
"...HEY! What do you mean, "thanks for coming"?! We're not hosting anything!"
"Well, we WERE before you and your big mouth showed up! Here to check we're not slacking off, are you?"
It's me—<player>!/It's your tutor!: "YOU?! What the—? Noooooo no no no, why is this happening?!"
"Never mind that! Giacomo! EXPLAIN! What's <player> doing here?!"
"He's gonna be WHAT?! Since when?! You can't just go stomping around deciding stuff like this without asking anyone, Giacomo! And YOU! We don't need a tutor! Do us a favor and toddle on home, would you?"
"Gah... Y-yeah, no, totally, I... Sorry, Eri."
"Oh... Um, what I meant was: sorry, <player>."
"Well, we all know Mela. She just wandered off 'cause she doesn't feel like studying."
"So? Where were you lazing around this time?"
  • Upon interacting with him
"Guh, how am I supposed to know this? I don't get it..."
See how it's going: "Don't think I didn't see you and your smug face hovering there. You've got some nerve. You realize I'm a second-year student, right? I'm an entire year ABOVE you."
Back off for now: Nothing.
"...Hmph. Eri says we need to let you help, so fine! You can try to tutor me or whatever. But I'll be shocked if you can get this literature stuff to sink in. I mean, how am I supposed to know how some made-up characters in a story are feeling?! See, the protagonist in this book is the mom of a Maushold family—her name's Mama Maushold. We're supposed to analyze why she calls Papa Maushold "terrible" in this passage."
She must truly think he's terrible: "Huh. Maybe you're not half bad at tutoring after all! The answer was staring me right in the face! Why did I even bother overthinking this?"
She must actually love him a lot: "HUH?! So she calls him terrible, but she actually loves him? Why doesn't she just say that, then? There's no way that's the right answer!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"WHAT?! You must be JOKING! There's no universe in which I respect this oaf even a little! Nuh-uh, no way, NOPE!"
"... ... ..."
"Fine, OK. I guess people are tempted to say the opposite of what they mean sometimes. Hmph. This question makes more sense to me now. But just a tiny bit! Thanks for not being entirely useless."
We can't know what's in her heart: "Huh. Didn't expect such an astute answer from the likes of you! It's so true that we just don't know what goes on in other people's heads. That's gotta be it."
If either the first or third options were selected: "Hey, Giacomo's calling you out! Are you sure you really know your stuff?! I'm starting to think you're as bad as I am at understanding how people feel... You know what? I've seen all I needed to see. I think I'll be better off studying by myself, so feel free to toddle on home, "Professor.""
  • If interacted with again during the tutoring
"Okaaay, moving on to the next one... "A tale of three Spidops whose brotherly bonds are even more tangled than the webs they weave." Huh?! ANOTHER family sob story?"
If the question was answered correctly: "Totally! I sped through my practice questions like a CHAMP! I guess <player> wasn't the world's worst tutor."
If the question was answered incorrectly: "I guess I did OK. Sure feels like we didn't need a tutor, though."
"Yeesh. Busted."
"...Wait, for real?"
"Ugh! Does that mean we gotta get lectured by <player> AND Penny now? Well...I guess there are worse things."
"WHAT?! As if you know what's in my head! You guys haven't got the first clue about me! Try getting to know me better before spouting nonsense, huh?! You're! All! The! WORST!!!"
Ruchbah Squad's Base
  • Upon initiating a Star Barrage rematch
"Let's see if you can beat at least 50 Pokémon in 10 minutes, shall we? Ruchbah Squad—hop to it! Let's get this show on the road!"
  • Upon losing or forfeiting a Star Barrage rematch
"I'm totally shook that you couldn't even make it past my lackeys. How unreal is that? Honestly...step up your game next time."
  • Upon winning a Star Barrage rematch
"Looks like you defeated 50 Pokémon in... Huh. Exactly <number> minute(s), <number> second(s)."
"I guess you've earned yourself <number> LP. Hasta la vistar and all that... ☆"
  • When approached
"Huh, You really came?"
  • If spoken to
"Oh hey!, <player>! You came! you're cool to battle me, right?"
Yes: "Heh, you got guts. But so what? You'll be kicking yourself after I'm through with you!"
No: "Awww! Come on, it's boring here without you to keep me entertained!"
  • In battle
After sending out first Pokémon: "This time, I'll wipe that smug look off your face for sure! You're going down!"
Upon first using Dachsbun's Play Rough: "You ready for more of my slick, adorable moves? 'Cause this one's gonna be pure torture!"
Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "WHAT?! Am I LOSING?! You're too good at this! It's so unfair!"
Upon being defeated: "Arrrrgggh! That strength of yours is SO. NOT. FAIR."
  • After being defeated
"Ugh, this sucks! I'll beat you next time for sure... so enjoy your win while you still can! Hasta la vistar! ☆"
  • If spoken to again on the same day
"I'm gonna spend the rest of today fixing the Starmobile you totaled. Remember that? Go bother someone else till tomorrow!"

"P-PLEASE ENROLL!!!"
  • I Wouldn't Mind Teaching!
"C'mon, Giacomo! Don't you have anything I'd be better suited for than yelling?"
"Hey. I've been wondering since we got here... Who's THIS guy, anyway?"
"Is that so?"
"So he's just relying on his parents and their money. Am I supposed to be impressed?"
"Since joining Team Star, I've been doing things myself."
"So I'm different from someone who's still relying on their family's wealth, OK?!"
"Ugh, you're so self-satisfied. You're the worst!"
"... ... ..."
  • Off-screen
"(Sounds like they all wanna nominate Juliana as a teacher.)"
"(I can't keep letting her outshine ME!)"
  • On-screen
"Um, Director Clavell!"
"I actually wouldn't mind teaching!"
"Come on, what's wrong with me thinking I could teach?"
"Anything Juliana can do, I can too!"

"NOBODY can beat me!"
"I'll show them! I can teach too!"
"(OK, who's the weakest around here...)"
"(That guy'll do!)"
"Hey, you!"
"Shall I do you the honor of showing you how a REAL battle looks?"
  • Clash of the Fairy-Type Users!
"See? Now you know how strong I am!"
"And as I said, as your teacher, I'd take care of you. So just admit you wanna learn from me already!"
"WHAT?! You're so rude! It's not cute AT ALL!"
"HUH?! Pink?! What do you mean?"
"Don't be judging ME! YOU'RE the one spouting stuff that makes ZERO sense!"
"And what's with the smug look?! You're seriously THE WORST!"
"How DARE you make fun of us! What would YOU know?!"
"You haven't seen how hard everyone's worked!"
"Hmph! That's EXACTLY what I plan to do!"
"UGH!!! What was up with that guy?! He's, like... THE. ABSOLUTE. WORST!"
"Hm? Wait, that voice..."

"Couldn't we choose teachers based on what the students want or recommend?"
"Sometimes, students want a say in what they learn—AND who from—right?"
"There may be times you don't like the teacher you get..."
"So maybe at Pasio Academy, it'd be nice if the teachers weren't stuck being the teacher all the time."
"Plus, teaching isn't one-sided."
"Teachers can learn—and grow—from students, too!"
"I learned that from someone I was supposed to be teaching."
"Please, think about it! Director Clavell! Lear!"
"Please give us—and everyone on Pasio—the chance to be teachers!"
"Huh?"
"Hasta la vistar! ★"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Ortega
"*sniff sniff*"
"You smell so good, as always!"
"Hm? What's wrong, Dachsbun?"
"Gah! <player>!"
"Wh-what're you doing here? You need something or what?"
"Ahh, I know!"
"Dachsbun's aroma brought you here, didn't it."
"It's written all over your face. You're so predictable."
"If you're so obsessed with the smell..."
"Why not have Dachsbun help you grow, like they do with wheat?"
What do you mean?: "Wait, seriously? You don't know?"
Help me grow?: "Yeah!"
"Dachsbun's pleasant aroma helps wheat grow, so they've been treasured by farming villages."
"All I'm saying is if you need to grow, Dachsbun could help!"
"Eh, whatever. Anyway, Dachsbun smells REALLY good, doesn't he?"
"I can't get enough of his aroma, so I keep sniffing the little guy."
"Plus he's cute and strong in battle. He's the best!"
That's awesome!: "Right? I thought you'd agree!"
"Hey, enough with the smirking."
You sure know a lot!: "Huh?! Don't treat me like a kid! What the HECK!!!"
"Just so you know, I'm in a higher grade than Juliana and Florian!"
"So you better show some respect! Got it?"
"*sigh* Do you really get it? Eh, whatever."
"All that sniffing Dachsbun made me hungry."
"Are you hungry, too? Wanna grab something to eat?"
Sure!: "All right! Let's stop by the bakery, then!"
What do you want to eat?: "Huh? Bread, of course! What else?"
"Come on! Don't just stand there. Let's go already!"
