Zinzolin/Quotes

These are Zinzolin's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Black and White

Cold Storage

"All of you—huddle around me! I can't take this cold..."

"Pokémon are our king's friends. While we're taking care of them, we can't let any harm come to them here. Everyone, drive these intruders away!"

Driftveil City

"Ghetsis… Thank you very much..."

N's Castle

"There are not two suns in the sky, nor two sovereigns over the people."

"It is the way of the universe to take from excess and fill emptiness. Taking Pokémon from people is restoring balance to nature!"

Cold Storage

• After defeating Ghetsis

"So, you returned? You're an odd Trainer. All right. I've got time enough to satisfy your curiosity."

"…Breathing. Having a heart that beats. That is simple existence and nothing more for a living being. That may be the definition of living, but I don't think that defines life."

"The experiences of joy and suffering are a vital part of being alive. Ghetsis gave me the sensation of being truly alive… What did he mean to accomplish? That isn't what's important."

"Right now, I'm shivering. I'm suffering, but I'm alive."

"Pokémon and people live by being together and relying on one another. That might be how you feel. If that's so, is it necessary to separate people and Pokémon? By talking to you, I've discovered that there's much I need to think about… I wish I had more to give you in thanks… Here, take this."

"My lord N said that he wanted to make Pokémon perfect… But, even if the relationship between Pokémon and people stayed as it now is, Pokémon can aspire to perfection…"

"It's too cold and I'm already tired of shivering in here. If you'll give me some time to think, I'll tell you what I know. So…take me with you."

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Plasma Frigate – PWT

"What is going on?"

"YOU! Once again, we will use the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon and we will rule the Unova region! Curious Trainers, we shall not let you run around as you please!"

"Shadow Triad! Get them out of here!"

"I know! But kick them out of here now!"

Lacunosa Town

• Before battle

"Oh, for crying out loud... This is troublesome indeed, my curious Trainers. Perhaps I should satiate your curiosity somewhat. The reason I am still part of Team Plasma is this: I want to know how the world will change. Listen. Pokémon are nature. Poké Balls are civilization. Humans who are used to civilization don't relinquish it easily. Of course, both nature and civilization are important. But what will happen to a world taken over by Team Plasma? People will be forced to throw out Poké Balls—a product of civilization. I want to know what that looks like! And I want to enjoy it!"

• Being defeated

"That pressure I felt from you just now... What was that?!"

• After being defeated

"These Trainers remind me of that one from two years ago. More important, we must continue our search. Like that scientist said, it might be in Opelucid City! We'll play with you again later!"

Opelucid City

"I don't think that's going to work."

"It's bitter cold. I'm shivering. I'm suffering, but I'm alive! It's what the essence of life feels like! It's proof of my existence! But that's enough of philosophy. Here are the facts for your admiration: This ice was specially created by Team Plasma's technology. As long as we have our secret weapon, you'll never be able to melt or break this ice! Let me explain our purpose here. Drayden, hand over the DNA Splicers! Opelucid City is a city where the past and the future are entwined. Could there be a more perfect place for the splicers that connect the separated Pokémon?"

"Humph. That's what I thought you'd say. At this point, I'd like to threaten you with another volley of ice, but we can't use it for a moment... Sigh. It won't be enjoyable in this cold, but I guess we'll just search for them."

In front of the Opelucid Gym

• Before battle

"Oh, for crying out loud... I didn't expect to have to fight hampered by cold like this. Well, no matter! The fact that I'm shivering means I'm truly alive!"

• Being defeated

"Have you gotten even stronger than you were in Lacunosa Town? How, in such a brief amount of time..."

• After being defeated

"You're a strong Trainer. You definitely are adept at handling Pokémon. I believe I'll take my leave, simply because I can't stand this cold. But...imagine this... A Unova region...completely...covered...in...ice. To achieve that splendor, we'll do whatever it takes to obtain the DNA Splicers."

Plasma Frigate – Route 21

• Before battle

"You're an impressive Trainer to have made it this far. Since you went to such trouble to come here, I'll show you something. This is... The legendary Pokémon of ice! Its name is Kyurem!"

"The ice missiles we fired into Opelucid City were created with Kyurem's power and Team Plasma's technology! Well... You could become a threat to Team Plasma, so we will eliminate you here!"

"Hmph! We'll simply eliminate both of you!"

• Being defeated

"The longer you live, the more opportunities for failure."

• After being defeated

"Hmph. You're a smarter Trainer than I expected. If you've got that much sense, why did you do something as dangerous as sneaking into our base?"

"If it's just a Purrloin, someone probably stole it and is using it. Why can't you understand? There are other Purrloin. Why are you so fixated on this one?"

"An individual's feelings... To you, that's probably a matter of great importance. But from the perspective of other people, it is a trifling matter indeed. Compare those feelings against the majesty of this ship! This ship itself is a device that uses the Pokémon Kyurem's power! With this ship, this time we will conquer Unova! It looks like Kyurem has fully recovered. We'll put the DNA Splicers to good use. I'll let you take care of them, Shadow Triad!"

Plasma Frigate – Giant Chasm

• Before battle

"The device is indestructible! You will never be able to release Kyurem! You don't have the sense to know when to quit, it seems. It's an act of mercy on my part to bring this to an end now!"

• Being defeated

"It is the same for anyone... As long as you are dreaming, the dream will never reveal itself to you."

• After being defeated

"Beaten again?! No matter! Team Plasma will get the last laugh!"

Undella Town

• After defeating Hugh

"Mmm, it's so warm here. Let me get to the point. I have papers that Lord Ghetsis left behind. With these, you can read the ancient scripts in the Abyssal Ruins. As my own small, little way to atone for my sins, I'll read them to you!"

"Just to make sure you know, you reach the Abyssal Ruins by using Dive in Undella Bay. And you must write down the ciphers you find in the Abyssal Ruins yourself."

• After entering the Abyssal Ruins

"According to Lord Ghetsis's papers, the ancient peoples read in the opposite direction to how we read now."

"Keep searching! You need to write down the Abyssal Ruins ciphers."

• After reaching the second floor of the Abyssal Ruins

"This is what was written in the papers... If you reach the second floor, read by shifting one letter. If you reach the third floor, read by shifting two letters. What I mean by "shifting" is replacing a letter with the previous letter in the alphabet."

"Keep searching! You need to write down the Abyssal Ruins ciphers."

• After reaching the third floor of the Abyssal Ruins

"What?! You made it even further, you say? And what kind of ciphers were there? ... ... Ahem... Oh, yes, now I see."

"The king must be the presence that stopped the war and united the people."

"Keep searching! You need to write down the Abyssal Ruins ciphers."

• After reaching the fourth floor of the Abyssal Ruins

"What?! You made it even further, you say? And what kind of ciphers were there? ... ... Ahem... Oh, yes, now I see."

"The king could see the future and talk to all living things. He united the people. If that is the truth, he was just like the hero!"

"Keep searching! You need to write down the Abyssal Ruins ciphers."

• After retrieving the Relic Crown from the Abyssal Ruins

"What?! You made it even further, you say? And what kind of ciphers were there? ... ... Ahem... Oh, yes, now I see."

"There are some characters I can't recognize, but based on the context... An extremely wonderful king was laid to rest in those ruins. If that king has descendants, maybe those special powers were passed down..."

"Now that I've learned everything I wanted to know about the Abyssal Ruins, I take my leave. You are my enemy, but your accomplishments and skill make you a worthwhile enemy. Adieu!"
