If you were a gym leader/elite four/npc who battles, what would your pre battle remark be? like rika says, 'i'd say i'll go easy on you, but i would be lying! think fast!'

Mine would be:

'you'd better mark the pokemon centre on your map, 'cause i'll be sending you there in a minute!'

You could have type-based like:

Bug- 'you're really bugging me with your smug attitude [in terms of challenging me] so get ready because me and my pokemon, we'll swat you like a fly!'

Or ice: 'once i defeat you, you'll be left frozen in your tracks!'

What would your pre-battle remark be?
