As a non-playable character

If the player chooses Rosa, Nate will appear in game as an NPC, first met in Nimbasa City. He will join the player in a Multi Battle against Emmet and Ingo. Afterwards, he will give the player the Vs. Recorder.

Nate will then appear as the player's partner in the Battle Subway when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants him to base his team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Nate's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

Quotes

Nimbasa City

  • Before battle
"I heard that in Gear Station you can have Pokémon battles in the subway! So I came here to test my skills, and, what do you know… the Subway Bosses were here! Isn't that amazing? I mean, they're the strongest Trainers in Gear Station! And they said they'd battle if it's two on two! This is an awesome opportunity! Would you battle with me?"
Yes: "Thanks! Oh! The name's Nate! Pokémon-fan synergy can create a combination that's better than perfect! So I'll have you help me battle the Subway Bosses, then!"
No: "Oh, I see! You aren't ready yet! OK, I'll stop them for now, but let's battle together sometime!"
"You're prepared, right? Will you battle alongside me?"
  • After battle
"They were really tough, even when they weren't going all out! That's the Subway Bosses for you! I want to get even stronger and battle the Subway Bosses when they're giving it their all! Thanks, <player>! This is a token of my appreciation! Here!"
"When you have the Vs. Recorder, you can record your battles with your friends or battles on the Battle Subway!"
"<Player>! I had a really great time battling with you! I hope we can battle together again sometime! See you!"
