N


The other main character and Black's older male friend. Antagonistic towards trainers, believing they enslave their Pokemon.

Tropes that apply to N:

 * Bishounen
 * Clingy Jealous Boy

 * Cry Cute: Oh so much.
 * Ditzy Genius

Tropes that apply to White:

 * Oblivious to Love: She's too focused on her goal to become the Champion to notice Black and Dirk's interest in her.
