[He looks a bit surprised. So her Alder was already aware of the threat Ghetsis posed. But did he know of the threat N posed? ... Did N even exist in her world at all?]
... I see.

[And now this business about the future. He tilts his head questioningly.] Hm. I don't know. Perhaps I am, if you truly didn't recognize me.

[He falls silent at the question, remembering.] There was a trainer. One from Nuvema Town. [He laughs, just slightly.] I suppose he intended simply to claim the title of Champion, as so many trainers do... But he did much more than that. [He glances elsewhere almost wistfully.] He and his Pokemon not only defeated me, but Ghetsis as well. I suppose... I have him to thank for my second chance. [He glances back at Iris, then at his surroundings.] Though not quite the second chance I would have expected.
