I mean, Nori knows an autistic person, so it might've been his inspiration. That said, he was absolutely being cheeky here and passive-aggressive. It's kind of a dumb thing in the games. A fun aside too: you can actually skip the guy who claims this in RSE until you have the Acro Bike and hop facing backward into his field of vision.I laughed whenever Nori tried to refute all of Anthony's claims, and he actually makes a good point about whether eye contact means insta-battle should apply to people who are blind or those who hate eye contact. I know I'd be the latter, being autistic and all.
It was actually last second. I needed something to split up the chapter title and since I already had "up there" the joke wrote itself.I also love the punchline about someone asking if it's a bird...and realizing Skarmory is technically a bird. Nice spin on an old joke there.
More like in their 20s or even early 30s. This was also partially a jab at in-game trainers in how they want battles, although to a more subdued extent than Anthony. Aside from that, it was intended to show how much respect Nori now carries. He makes up an excuse and they take it because well, he's the famous Nori Carino. He's a professional and he knows right. They trust he knows what he's doing. And yes stuff will be made of thisI am kinda surprised the old couple was very understanding of Nori hanging around with a murderous Pawniard, especially since it tried to go after them without provocation.
As Nori has also said before, he's not really into battling. It'd be good to have more Pokemon to have a more well-balanced team for cases like these, but it's like why bother since he isn't aiming for the top? Of course, he knows well that type advantage moves aren't always the be-all end-all solution to everything, and that it goes both ways. And that if he went out and caught something, it wouldn't be as good as a trained Pokemon.Also, I know Nori mentioned his reasons for not catching more Pokemon in Official-In-Training, but considering Anthony's lineup of Pokemon, he really ought to consider catching more Pokemon. Pachirisu knows Grass Knot, which could help against Anthony's Quagsire, but type advantage moves aren't always the be-all end-all solution to everything.
Nori very much has a "work hard" mentality to him. Luckily, it works in this world (also see: Bruno), and having a type expert as a mentor helps with some of how to work with that. How will it work out? Find out soon!
I might actually publish the next chapter here by that time, too. Which will be interesting since you'll be able to read and compare the shared scene.Anyway, I'll read your newest Prema story over the weekend, once I have some time on my hands.
