A Day with Nate

Scottie was hanging out in town when [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] spotted Nate and Ryuki.

OK! That was a nice gig! I expected no less from a Neo Champion!

You guys showed off some great teamwork too, Ryuki!

A Pokémon battle, of course! Ryuki and I just had a REALLY fun one!

Yeah! Ryuki and I just had a red-hot battle!

I could feel that you and Haxorus have fiery spirits, Nate!

Not many people can work with dragon Pokémon as well as you can!

Wow! It really makes me happy to hear that from you, Ryuki!

I'm surprised, though. Your Haxorus is acting totally different now than he was during our gig. He's so cool and collected.

During our set, he was as soulful as any dragon Pokémon, but now? He's like a whole 'nother Pokémon!

Yeah, my Haxorus is usually pretty quiet except during battle, then he gets really intense!

I think it's awesome that he's such a tough, wild fighter!

Huh? Me too?

You think I'm kinda like Haxorus?

I guess I do get really focused when I'm taking a battle seriously.

I never noticed it myself...but you might be right, Scottie! Maybe I am kinda like Haxorus!

Hahaha! Nice! It's important to have an on-off switch like that! You'd get real tired if you were always so soulful!

I'm sure you're setting a great example for everyone else, too!

Heh heh... Thanks, you two! I feel more confident now!

By the way...what's your "off" mode like, Ryuki?

Aren't you curious, Scottie?

I thought so! It'd be cool to know what a star like Ryuki does when he's not going full throttle!

See? Scottie wants to know, too! Won't you tell us?

You really wanna know?

Sorry, even my hardcore fans don't get to know stuff like that.

What I'm like on my own time is a secret!

Aww, OK. That's disappointing.

But I guess hiding that side of yourself is pretty cool, actually... Just like a star!

Maybe I'll try to keep my "off" mode secret too when I get older...

That way, I can be a mysterious Champion!
