You say there may not be wild Pokémon there? I'm not sure how well I'll make friends with... Other humans. Even after what I learned from Hilda and her friends, I find myself confused.

I hope you will at least allow Reshiram to accompany me.

Hey, humans aren't that bad! Actually, I'd even say some of 'em are pretty darned great.

[grays]

[N will just be staring. What the heck is this?]

I don't... Think they're that bad. Not all of them; maybe not most of them.

[thatwasapun]

[aww, he's just an old rusty robot, N! :>]

Then w-w-whaddaya so worried about?

[grays]

[Sorry, Rabbit's just kind of freaky-looking, though you think with some Pokémon, N'd be used to it!]

I spent a lot of my life without knowing humans.

[thatwasapun]

[it's ok, he gets that a lot, especially after most of his face fell off...]

Re-e-e-eally? Well, what about your mammy and pappy? Pretty sure they musta b-been humans, 'cause you sure do look like one.

[grays]

I was left in the woods.

[thatwasapun]

[...!

oh. D:]

The woods? Dat's no place for a little human to be, all by its lonesome. What'd they do a thing like that for?

[grays]

I don't know. I was never told very much about it.

[thatwasapun]

Huh. Well, you're prob'ly gonna meet a wh-h-hole buncha humans now, and some of 'em are gonna be reeeally swell! I mean, some of 'em are gonna be rude and mean and whateva', but there are gonna be some amazingly fantastical ones in there, too!

[grays]

That... Would be nice. I have already met some very valiant humans, as well as some cruel ones. I just hope I can be around them.

[thatwasapun]

Well, sure you can! I bet you're g-g-gonna do just fine.

[grays]

Thank you. What is your name?

[thatwasapun]

[he sweeps his hat off, somehow managing not to drop the mismatched goggles from it.]

I'm Rabbit! At your service!

[grays]

Hello, Rabbit. Your words have been inspiring. Allow me to introduce myself... I am N.

[thatwasapun]

[the old automaton smiles as much as his awkwardly built face will allow, setting his hat back where it belongs.]

N, huh? Well, it's n-n-nice to meetcha, Mista' N!

[grays]

May I ask... What exactly you are?

[thatwasapun]

Why, of course ya can! I'm a ste-e-eam-powered clockwork automaton! I was built back in 1896, by Colonel Peter A. Walter I!

[grays]

My, how amazing! What is being a automaton like? I can't imagine.

[thatwasapun]

It's-- uh... w-w-well, it's kinda like... umm.

... well, I don't really know, 'cause I've never b-b-been anything else! What's bein' a human like?

[grays]

Oh, that makes sense. I'm sorry for asking an impossible question.

I'm afraid I'm not sure yet.

[thecutetransfer]

You're not good with making friends with people?

[grays]

No, only with Pokémon.

[thecutetransfer]

Pokémon?

[thatwasapun]

Aw, don't apologize for that! There are lotsa things out there I don't know about. I've been around for 116 years and I'm still figurin' some things out.

[grays]

Yes. They have been my friends since I was a small boy.
