Attaining an Arc Suit

You wanted to ask us something?

Yes. Apologies for interrupting your training...

No problem at all! Ask away!

Then I'll cut to the chase.

I'd like to know how you two attained your arc suits.

How did you demonstrate your true bond with your Pokémon?

Hm...

For me, I had to train harder than ever before.

Same. I had to surpass my limits through trials and hardship. It was more than I'd ever experienced.

Training and trials...

(A trial my Pokémon and I can overcome, and grow together from...)

(Oh, I know!)

Thank you! Both of you!

I've just the idea!

Sounds like you've found your answer, then!

It won't be easy, but do your best, N!

I will!

OK, N. If I'm understanding this correctly...

You want to set up a mock version of the Unova League so you can redo your challenge. Right?

Correct.

In the past, in order to become a hero...

I challenged you, Alder, and the Unova Elite Four... desperately, as if possessed.

In the end, it turned out I was being manipulated by Ghetsis.

But through those battles, I was able to deepen my bond with my Pokémon!

Hm...

I've heard that to attain an arc suit I need a strong bond with my Pokémon...

and a trial we can overcome together.

I want to awaken my arc suit and prove my bond with my Pokémon is real!

I know my request's a bit selfish, but... I'd appreciate your help!

Please let me take on the Unova Elite Four again!

Then I hope to challenge Iris, who carries on your legacy, Alder!

Alder, I wanna accept his challenge!

If I can have a serious battle with N, I think MY bond with my Pokémon'll get stronger, too!

Indeed...

If that's how Iris feels, I'd be more than happy to oversee this challenge!

I'll have a chat with the Elite Four right away!

Thank you, both!

N, I'm sure you already know this...

But since arriving on Pasio, Iris and the Elite Four have made great strides, too.

You may have beaten them once before... But don't expect this trial to be easy.

Of course.

I'm ready!
