Lord N

So I finally arrive at this city called Nacrene City and... surprise, surprise. There's that Trainer, I think his name is Black. Right in front of the Gym. I walk up to him and guess what?

We battle.

And I lose.

And I run away again. Man, I hope our next encounter will be more dramatic. I heard there's a ferris wheel in Nimbasa City, maybe I'll go there next.

After creaming the Gym Leader.

~At Nimbasa City...~

I'm sitting on a bench with Alicia, waiting for Black to show up. And... there he is. "Meet me after the ride. Take someone else. Not my dad." I run to the ferris wheel.

Finally, Black comes...

So I'm in this town (I forgot the name) and Team Plasma is preparing the stage for my dad's epic speech in the plaza. (Sadly, I inherited none of my father's speech-giving skills.) Alicia and I are watching the preparations from behind the bushes.

"So... wanna talk about something?" I say, trying to break the ice.

She stares at the ground and says, "If it please you."

"Kinda weird, being here... with... a girl..."

"I was gonna say the same thing, minus the girl part." She giggles again. Oh, man. What is happening to me!?

"The... speech is almost starting." The look on her face tells me she knows...
