"I am," he answered tentatively, using her support to get back on his feet. He leaned against her briefly, just until he could find his balance again. "But if they are speaking truth--" He supposed they were; after all, Pokemon never told lies. "-- I am not from this particular version of it..."
He mumbled a quick, "Thank you," and took a small awkward step away from Paprika, reexamining the Golett that was approaching them-- as well as the scene of Zorua and Sigilyph behind it.
"Go back home," he tried again, speaking as clearly and confidently as he could manage. "Outsiders or not, we have no intention of harming this world." The Golett's eyes flickered, apparently aware of, but ignoring, his words. "I do not want to be forced to take violent measures against you... I can understand your language-- you witnessed that! We can negotiate-- please."
The Golett just blinked again and, with a robotic cry, swung its arm at N's legs. He recoiled just enough to avoid the brunt of the attack, and staggered back to Paprika's side. He glanced at her sidelong, his expression reluctant but grave.

"... Are you prepared to battle, Paprika?"
