Challenge Pasio's Trainers: Part 1

Was that...Zekrom?! Then that means...

No way! HE came to Pasio?!

So, this is where you wanted to bring us.

The artificial island of Pasio.

Hey, is that...

No way! Are you sure?!

I'm positive! You've told me all about him, so I knew exactly who it was!

The person I saw was definitely N!

Wow. So N is here on Pasio...

I haven't seen him in so long.

Hilbert...

You really want to see him again, don't you.

Why don't we go look for N? I'll show you where I saw him!

Yeah, let's go! Thanks!

Scottie, why don't you come with us, too?

I wanna introduce you to my friend!

That's odd, he was just here earlier. I wonder where he went.

Well, he never was the type to stay in one place for very long.

If you both saw him, then he was definitely here for sure!

Yeah, but Team Break got away while I was distracted. I still have so much to learn.

Hey, I get it. This is N we're talking about, after all.

You know, I've been wondering about this for a while now...

but who exactly is this N guy, anyway? I mean, what's his deal?

Wait, you don't know, Hilda? Even after everything that happened in Unova?

I-I just like to focus on battling, that's all!

Besides, Scottie also needs to know what's going on, right?

Yes, that's probably for the best.

Yeah, we should bring you up to speed before we go meet him.

This N we're searching for...

He used to be the king of Team Plasma.

Whoa! Team Plasma?! Even I know about them!

They're that group who'd say stuff about how we need to liberate Pokémon from their human oppressors.

But in reality, they were just a bunch of Pokémon-stealing jerks!

Yeah, we had a few run-ins with Team Plasma in the past.

We also clashed with N a few times.

But the real mastermind was Ghetsis. He was controlling everything for his own gain.

After Ghetsis was apprehended, Team Plasma laid low for a while.

But N's feelings toward Pokémon, his beliefs... they were genuine.

His beliefs?

He believed that Pokémon suffered because of misguided humans...

So to change this messed-up world, he thought we needed to separate Pokémon and humans.

All to help Pokémon, our friends...

Ghetsis exploited N's beliefs, and we ended up battling each other. Looking back, I can't believe it even came to that.

Even though we all cared about our Pokémon... we still had to fight.

Hilbert, Cheren...

N must have a really pure heart, huh?

But through our battles and travels, N's beliefs began to waver.

He saw with his own eyes how Pokémon and humans can understand and help each other.

And he made a real effort to try to understand how we felt.

That's why N is a really important friend to me!

A friend...

I see! I'm still trying to process all this, but I think I get how you feel.

Let's go find your friend so you can see him again!

Thanks!

That said, N is really unpredictable. It might take a while to figure out where he is.

No matter how hard it is, we'll definitely find N. There's a lot of stuff I need to say to him!

Like what?

Nothing major, but...something important.

OK, let's head out and find N!

So this is Pasio...

An artificial island where humans and Pokémon can coexist...

I knew it was you! Hey there, N!

You two...
