A Day with Norman

Norman asked Scottie to meet him at a clearing in the forest.

Thanks for coming, Scottie. I've asked you here to talk.

I've been wanting to know how you feel about the PML.

I'll ask you straight, Scottie: What does the PML mean to you?

Hm, I thought you'd say that.

Hm, I thought you'd say that.

I've had a feeling that was the case ever since I joined the team.

I wanted to hear it straight from you, though. You did, too, didn't you, Slaking.

Hm... Back home in Hoenn where I was a Gym Leader, I battled against my own son in my Gym and lost.

Hm... Back home in Hoenn where I was a Gym Leader, I battled against my own son in my Gym and lost.

As a parent, I was happy to see my child's growth. On the other hand, the truth is that I was disappointed in myself as a Trainer.

I acutely felt a need to thoroughly retrain myself.

That's why I decided to enter the PML with Slaking.

I've heard other Gym Leaders from the Hoenn region have come to Pasio to enter the PML.

I thought about forming a team with them, but that would miss the whole point of coming to a new place.

I wanted to work with Trainers from different regions and different cultures to find new kinds of power.

I thought that we could cooperate with them in battles and increase our sync strength.

Thanks to you, I've learned what sync strength is really all about.

What do you think, Scottie?

Mm-hmm, thanks. Slaking looks happy to hear that, too.

Mm-hmm, thanks. Slaking looks happy to hear that, too.

I may not show it, but you've gotten through to me, too.

Battling alongside you was a wonderful experience for both Slaking and me that we never could have had without you...

I only hope that you got something out of your experience teaming up with me, too.

I believe that the power of our bond will give us great strength on the grand stage of the PML.

We were very lucky to meet you. It's been a privilege. Thank you, Scottie.

Haha! Well, all is well.

Haha! Well, all is well.

Oh yes, looking at Slaking reminded me...

As long as you're here, could I ask you one more thing?

I think you may know this, but my son has also come here to Pasio.

We're not working together right now, though.

Hmm, so I was wondering...

Do you know of any good restaurants that are popular with young people on Pasio?

I was thinking I'd like to take my son out the next time we have a day off!

Sometimes it's good to take a cue from Slaking and just take it easy.
