"Well, I’m glad about that."

     "I think that was also the only time I ever won a battle against you, right?"

His wandering had taken him this time to Floccosy Ranch. He had been here before, but there was something about his newfound freedom from Team Plasma, from Ghetsis, that made it as exciting as it had been the first time. He was finally seeing the world through his own eyes, and he was looking forward to visiting a place where so many pokemon lived.

Wandering around, he noticed that there was somebody else there. While it was not uncommon for other trainers to visit such a place, N was drawn in by her appearance. She looked foreign, likely from somewhere far across the oceans. He suddenly found himself wishing to speak to her.

Slowly he approached her, watching as she pet a Mareep. He smiled fondly. Mareeps were sweet pokemon… If he wasn’t against confining pokemon to pokeballs he might have raised one.

     "Oh, really? Aren't all Pokémon pretty loyal though?" she asked, thinking back to the countless Pokémon and their trainers whom she encountered on her adventure. "I mean, I don't know a Pokémon who wouldn't be loyal to its owner, as long as they're not abusive."

     She briefly thought of the Team Galatic members and how they stole Pokémon for selfish reasons. They were mainly confused people without a proper knowledge of how to care for Pokémon. A pang of pity made her look away from the stranger for a second.

     Forgetting her manners for a while there, she returned her gaze to him. She then realized he had no Pokéball belt on, nor any sort of bag that could hold Pokéballs, and he looked much older than a new trainer.
