(10) looks like freedom but it feels like death

[Action, Park]

[It is surprisingly easy to avoid your problems by avoiding people. After the whole zombie event, well... seeing his closest human friend get eaten can really do a number on a person. Sleeping outside is something N is good at already, anyway, and there's no doubt in his mind that his supposed "wife" knows where he is. Hell, Ryo

[Dawn over here will just... be watching you in awe, N.]

[natural_set]

[It takes a bit, but eventually N notices that he's being watched, and he takes a moment to look away from trying to teach Pidove how to properly carry things to lift a hand up, a bit hesitantly.]

Can I help you?

a-aaah i'm sorry this is so late

[wonribbons]

Huh? [She blinks twice, before laughing...] Um, I was wondering- is that a Pokémon?

I am always late

[natural_set]

[N smiles. Finally, someone who recognizes them.]

Yes, he is! He's a Pidove, though he seems to have trouble learning.

Are you a Trainer?

[wonribbons]

Yeah, I am. I'm also a Pokemon Coordinator, too!

[natural_set]

Coordinator?

[N has not yet come across Pokémon Contests yet, as Unova doesn't have them, so the terminology is a bit lost on him.]

[wonribbons]

[Dawn nods politely.] Yeah, I’m a coordinator - and I enter Pokémon contests. I’m originally from Sinnoh, and they have contests there, but maybe they don’t have it where you’re from yet…?

[natural_set]

[N shakes his head.]

No. I come from Unova, and they only have battles and the stadium. How do contests work?

[There's a hidden knife in there - using Pokémon for contests sounds suspiciously like something he wouldn't approve of.]

[wonribbons]

You're from Unova? [Dawn beams at that immediately!] One of my friends has been there.. though so far he only has a few badges.

Umm.. well, basically first off there's two rounds. The first one is where you show off your Pokémon by having their moves shine! And after that is the battling round, where you still have to make those moves shine and be as beautiful as possible.. but you have to also try to get as many points as possible and make sure your own Pokémon don't get knocked out.
