The nidoran has obtained a nametag that says "Hi, my name is Nidoran!" to aid in introducing himself. He seems to be carrying many notes that might be shopping lists or requests, likely written by someone else so he could carry out tasks for whoever they are. When Ghaspius and Leaf offered to help with his errands, he did allow them to eventually, but was hesitant at first—almost as if someone had specifically asked him to take care of his tasks alone.

Nidoran purchases some stones and ores from a graveler's shop. Graveler mentions that the nidoran has been around a few times before, feels "less threatening" than other ferals, and that he's never "seen him leave town".

When Nidoran tries to leave, the group catches up to him, but this makes him nervous. Once they've calmed him down and assured him they won't stop him from going, he leaves behind a strange badge with a button, which reads "PRESS IF TROUBLE". They ultimately decide to find someone to look at it before they try pressing it to see what it does. (For now.)
