“What the hell?!” Nori scuttles back and gets his guard up as the corruption freaking melts off the afflicted legendary Pokemon. He eyes it as if it’s a snake that might leap up at any one of them. Only when it just sits there for several long seconds, and the Keldeo starts to speak, do his...

Nori begins to open his mouth, yet he freezes up. He turns away slightly and sighs. “Honor kind of is arbitrary and abstract,” the boy admits. His voice rings with a hollow sorrow. “That’s because what it is may be different depending on who you ask. I’ve seen people use it to justify their...

Nori nods emphatically! “I know we will. We’ll find a way! If we haven’t already done so.” As for his question, well. Nori was musing that to himself at first, but now that someone else brought it up, he puts forth his thoughts. “I think one of three things. One, they got corrupted like he was...

“Ow!” Nori vocalizes and cringes with sympathy at the shattered horn. Even if it happened to not have nerve endings in it, that had to have hurt. “But if that's what had to be done...” He trails off, and again, says this more to himself. It wasn't like they were out to cripple him or were going...

By now, Pachi knew what to do; his foe was basically doing the same thing. He went right underneath the swing and towards Keldeo. The kick landed, but without much room for a windup and Pachi being light to begin with, it did barely any damage. “Woohoo!” He dances, and coughs a bit because of...

After challenging Keldeo to actually give examples instead of just saying things, Nori observes the others to see what they would do. Some were refusing or hesitant to fight to prove a point. Others were trying to fight smarter. Still others were...trying to impose. Was that stupid or brilliant...

“Hey, you’re not completely wrong,” Nori agrees? But the way he smirks tells that he has more to say, and it is not going to be pleasant either. “It’s another kind of strength to know when to adapt. Sometimes, you have to do something you don’t want to but have to in that moment. Being able to...

“I know! It’s fun to win!” Pachi agrees. Keldeo zips by him at first. But when it comes time for him to get swung at, he not only actually manages to avoid a direct hit, but he doesn’t miss the timing on Discharge. The electricity also flows into the water and heals some of those wounds right...

Pachi glances behind himself. Where was Nori? That sleepy guy and his trainer should’ve passed him, shouldn’t they? His friend was holding the berry. So Pachi would just have to do without it for now. “Okay, I think I’m ready!” the squirrel declares. He’d just prep the one move and think the...

It was a chilly and breezy mid-October day. The air was still damp from the rain yesterday and this morning, with little puddles scattered across the ground. Yumi was somewhat astounded that Nori had run out without a jacket, especially given he didn’t seem to be cold at all. His strides were...

You know, given this delay on their behalf? Since they’d logically pass him by before the rest of the post, they would see a certain young male with chestnut hair and red eyes sort of sauntering around away from the battlefield. He would see them too, and seeing how wobbly Nate is, would gasp...

"Try not to cut yourself!" Nori fires back as he leaves to compose himself. He's certainly having a little fun. Though, he knows he needs to gather his thoughts. "Be right back. Stay sharp until then!" "Thank you!" says Pachi, clapping his hands. "I may not be as good as Demon, but I promise, I...

Nori is very happy to get off the raft, hurrying off it just like before. After huffing to catch his breath (and Pachi giving comfort), they set back out. Then they start to reach the top, and that’s when Nori begins to lock up. He carefully extends a foot and feels around. That was water all...

While Shou’an is away, Nori muses what their hosts had to say. “I mean, that guy thought those monkeys and swords were barbarians who couldn’t be reasoned with, and look what happened there. So I wouldn’t place too much stock in how he views things.” Although there’s a hint in his tone that he...

“No, not all their moves,” he clarifies, shaking his head. It sounded like there were worlds where that was the case, however. Did that like, include moves they don’t normally learn except through TMs and stuff? For that matter, he had trouble wrapping his mind around that idea too. “Generally...

Nori eventually notices his Pokemon trying to get his attention when he starts pulling at his pant legs. “What’s up? Need to tell me something?” Pachi gives an emphatic squeak. Then he starts pointing at himself. “Pachi!” he says. “Pachi,” Nori repeats with a smile. He knew enough to know when...

Nori nods and smiles. “Thanks. I just know that someday, all of you,” he gestures to the swords, “You guys will make super strong and tough Aegislashes. And you guys will become great Annihilapes! Um, if you evolve that far.” He rubs the nape of his neck and turns away slightly. That was...

Nori simply stands steadfast with a peaceful expression on his face as the Pokemon glare at him, even as they look like they might start attacking. Pachi tenses at it, yet stands just as firm. Sure enough, the angry apes reconsider. A barbarian doesn’t do that. What’s more, even Sun and that...

“You’re welcome!” Nori says with total earnestness, even adding a polite and peppy bow. Though he only chuckles a little when the Hatterne just goes and talks to someone else; he didn’t expect the Pokemon to help with finding the source of this after, but was sort of hoping. Oh well. The talk...

Nori blinks and rubs the nape of his neck. Was he being addressed? “Oh, um. Awkward time to ask, but okay.” It would be a small distraction. He paused to consider this. How do you even explain something that’s given knowledge to most in your world? He takes a deep breath and gets into it. “Well...
