“That isn’t true!” Pachi shouts out to the Meditite. He flashes his front teeth and waves an army. “You do have to fight sometimes, but not all the time! A friend of mine named Demon learned that!” Nori cracks a smirk and a giggle. “I also defer to the little one!” he proclaims, crossing his...

Pachi’s cheeks spark as another Pokemon leaps in and aggravates things. “Say the word, Nori!” Part of him wants to. But no. He forcefully shakes his head. He didn’t really care for Pokemon battles anyway; any he took part in were by necessity. There was no need to get goaded into this. “You...

Nori blinks as the Pokemon turn out to be somewhat more lucid than anticipated. He looks back at the others. With a shrug, and as the one who sort of made this happen, he decides to step forward. He stands high and tall. "I am Nori Carino, the Demon Tamer of Veilstone and the chief strategist...

"Hey, no! Me first!" Pachi tries to call out, much too late. "Wait, you stupid--" Nori jerks his head toward Pachi. "Go anyway! If they get in the way, it's their fault!" With a nod, the squirrel charges in with quickness and grace. With a triumphant cry once he's as close as he can get, he...

They were listening. In turn, Nori listened to them. He wasn’t about to pretend he knew everything he was doing, so any advice or second opinions would help. The subject of the sword Pokemon soon came up. While he could not understand that Mightyena, he did when the others discussed it in...

Nori giggles at the confirmation. “I knew it!” he practically boasts, doing a tiny fist pump as he exhales slightly with relief. “But it is interesting to think about. You know, how different our worlds are. And how similar!” As they dock and he scampers off the raft, he adds, “But that’s a...

In spite of how he was basically sitting there in an almost trance-like state (basically just copying what he thought was meditation), Nori found enough within him to roll his eyes when the subject of Keldeo came up. So they answered the cavewoman when she asked for more detail about it, but not...

“I’ll just call you Mr. Higgson, if that’s all right with you,” the boy says. It was always weird to call an adult by their first name; some would even call it bad manners. Even with Volkner, but that eventually worked because his mentor was also a friend. “My name is Nori Carino. I’m a Pokemon...

Nori climbs down the slope carefully yet briskly, doing sort of a side-walk. He slides on more than one occasion, but manages to steady himself each time and keep walking down. Truth be told, part of it was also wanting to leave before he lost his temper. “Okay, they’re freeing that thing,” he...

They weren’t listening, were they? He and Josie were just talking about the crystals. Nori’s left hand goes to his pocket, only to notice something. Or rather, the absence of something. At any other point, he might freak out. But he reasons it’s just another part of this stupid world. “Sorry, I...

“I think it’s a convenient part of this world,” he guesses, looking up at the colorful sky above. It would be tricky if people and lone Pokemon were unable to communicate. He looks back over at his Pokemon, sighing and slouching. “It would’ve been nice to actually understand Pachi, but I guess...

“Mhm! Pachi shouldn’t have problems. Okay, go on ahead!” He flashes a thumbs-up to the little squirrel, who nods and hops onto the legendary’s back. “And thanks!” he doesn’t forget to say as well. Pachi giggles. “Hi, I’m Pachi! It’s nice to meet you! An honor too! Let’s go help that big-winged...

Nori watches the attacks land. That looked like a blast of psychic energy. And it turned the crystals darker? Then the Joltik made an attack, and it turned brown. Sort of like...earth? Dark? Ground? And they keep changing, the Mantine said? “Wait, I got it!” He snaps his fingers and jumps with...

Epic. Anyway, have a chapter to upload there when I'm not distracted.

For an outdoorsy and decently athletic type like Nori, it doesn’t take him long at all to make it through the mess of trees and stuff on the steeper part of the slope. He breaks through to the plateau…and takes a couple cautious steps back at the sight of the drop. He shudders, remembering when...

For the briefest of moments, there is a glimmer of hope in the eyes of Nori. It quickly fades as Lumen fails to make any headway. “And I guess I can’t power you up, either. Thank you for trying at least.” He shakes his head with a sigh, bracing himself against the tree. His head turns to glance...

“Well, that doesn’t tell us much,” the boy says, rolling his eyes. He actually rolls his head a little along with them. He puts a hand on his hip. “So he’s a sword in some sense. I guess that means he likes fighting up close. But what type is he? Does he prefer to avoid or take hits? Is he...

Lunchtime at school was ordinarily something that Yumi Takao looked forward to. It was the time when she could forget about the pressures of life and hang out with Nori and the others. But as she gripped the door handle of the clubroom on Monday, it felt like a hand was reaching into her body...

Nori’s attention is split between the various conversations. A priest, a cavewoman, and a safety inspector? That sounded like the start of a joke! He couldn’t help but grin and giggle over it. It also sounded like the tired-looking young adult had been here before. And then...was he reading that...

For a bit after that, Nori was content to sit on the grass and relax with his Pachirisu by themselves. He leaned back, holding himself up with his arms while stretching out his legs. The boy looked up at the sky. Definitely a magical world. Though from the looks of it, he was the only younger...
