"I tell you what Malva, now you brought me in I'm welling up. What you got to realise, we're one battle away, I've been watching the leagues for near enough 20 years, I moved to Kalos, and I've seen Siebold, I've seen Malva, and I've seen Diantha, right? This is the first time, the first time that I've ever seen anything like what I've seen this league. This league is just unbelievable pal, and I mean that Malva. With all due respect Malva, loved you to bits, loved you to bits, but I tell you something: Greninja, Hawlucha, and all the boys, are putting it on the next level, and it shows in the league standings. We're now one.. hang on a minute.. we're now one battle, one battle away.
I went to Hoenn, I went to Sinnoh. I have brung my son up, when he was in school, "oh Tobias, Tobias, Virgil, Tyson, Tobias, Virgil, Tyson" and I.. I stuck by my guns, I said "listen sunshine, turn the cap, wear the blue coat.. turn the cap, wear the blue coat, we will come through." And all of a sudden my son's turned round and said to me and looked me in the eye today - looked me in the eye - and turned round and said to me "Dad, Dad.." Amazing. Absolutely amazing. He's seen trainers, he's seen class trainers, like Tobias, l-like.. oh, honest to God..
Now, tell me.. you cannot, you cannot, you cannot tell me we have not got a chance of winning the Kalos league Malva. And listen, th-this is.. I grew up watching you Malva. You cannot tell me, you cannot believe Ash cannot win the league, please.."
