Norman

Norman beyond the Gym: e-Reader items and an old friendship

In Ruby and Sapphire, Norman also hands out special items scanned in through the Game Boy Advance e-Reader, including certain Berries and the Eon Ticket. He has known Professor Birch since their school days, and the in-game TV show Trouble Talk says the two went to college together. In Black 2 and White 2 he enters the Pokémon World Tournament, where he always leads with Slaking.
