[ N is on your screens for the first time in a while. Instead of huffy like last time, he looks a little...nervous.

He shifts Purrloin, who is perched on his shoulders, to a more comfortable position, and swallows.Hello. I just had an...announcement I wanted to make

[heroistics]

Ah-that's really kind of you! If you could, then...

[It's prooobably hard to miss the Starly perched on his shoulder.]

[singularjustice]

Is that a Starly? Did Cheren give it to you?

[ N smiles. ]

[heroistics]

[He nods, smiling in return.]

Yeah! Her name's Diane.

[singularjustice]

Diane...it's nice to meet you both.

What's your name?

[heroistics]

It's nice to meet you too! And oh, right. Sorry, I guess I should've introduced myself.

[A sheepish laugh]

I'm Renton Thurston! What about you?

[singularjustice]

I'm N. And this is Purr. She's one of my team.

[heroistics]

Then it's nice to meet you as well, Purr!

[A pause]

For Pokemon battling and that kind of thing? Cheren explained it to me...

[singularjustice]

...not really.

I mean. She has battled, and would if I asked it of her. But she does not like to battle, so I do not ask her to. But she's still one of my team.

[heroistics]

[... His expression softens as that. Doesn't that remind him of someone he knows?]

I see. Sorry, I just assumed...

[singularjustice]

...it's a logical assumption.

[ Even if the topic is uncomfortable for him. ]

Most people from my world battle with all of their Pokemon.

[heroistics]

R-Really? Even if they don't want to fight...?

[singularjustice]

It's not as common of a problem as I once thought, but...

Yes. That happens.

[heroistics]

Still, that's awful...

Purr is pretty lucky to have someone like you, then.

[singularjustice]

...thank you.

[ N smiles a little brighter. ]

I would never want to fight with a Pokemon who did not want to.

[heroistics]

Yeah... it'd be great if everyone could see things like that, wouldn't it?

[singularjustice]

...yes. It would.

At least. I think so.
