[There's a... very uncertain-looking young man peering into the camera. He's really not sure what to make of any of this. It's a little hard to believe that he's like this, and he can't morph, and that there are Pokemon.]

[... He's trying to keep it together.]

So... uh.

[Great start, Tobias.]

I guess... I'm stuck here? No one in town really had anything useful to say. None of this makes much sense. And I'm guessing asking how to get home isn't going to get me any real answers, either.

[There's a squawk off-camera, and he looks concerned for a minute.]

I'm guessing the first step is to head to the next town, right? And start building up a team...

[... Why did he make this broadcast anyway?]

... If anyone's got any advice for that kind of thing, feel free to give it.

[He clicks the broadcast off.]

[Action]

[He's not in New Bark Town anymore. He's nearby, but he's sitting in a small area free of tall grass, staring down his Pokemon. What's a Rufflet, anyway? ... At least the body language is familiar. He holds out his hand, waiting for the little Pokemon to approach.]

[... This might take a while.]

I... maybe. I'm not sure. It'd be a good idea... but I'm not great at naming things. I named my cat 'Dude'.

Well, I suppose if you wanted to, you could always ask for suggestions. Not everyone names theirs, though.

I guess I'll have to see what sort of name suggests itself. I wouldn't want to give him a name that doesn't fit.

[ Ah man he knows that feeling. This guy must be new. ]

I can't pretend to be an expert but I can offer what advice I can.

Did you just come in?

Ooh, you've figured out how to access the map already? Excellent! I'm glad we're on the same page! [ Mimi is not going to be deterred in her quest to help by the fact that her helpee doesn't seem to need it. ] If there's anything else you need to know about the New Bark-to-Cherrygrove area, I'll do my best to help you out! [ Because that's all she knows so far lol. ]

It's nice to meet you, Tobias-san! [ Hmm, a foreign name... ] Where are you from? [ please be America please be America ]

Heading to the next town does look like it's the best option right now. I guess you must be new here, too?

... Sure.

[He probably won't ask but it's... nice that people are offering to help him? What is this. Also what is the... thing attached to his name.]

Uh. America.

Team building advice would be good. And... yeah, I did.

Yeah. It seemed like getting out of that town was probably the best option.

[Well it sounds like a lot of people have given Tobias some good advice already, but you're wrong if you think Jimmy isn't going to welcome wagon it up regardless.]

Head to the next town, build your team- yep, you got it! I dunno what kinda Pokemon you think you might wanna look for, but the Route between New Bark and Cherrygrove has a lot of cool ones!

[Even as he says this, a Furret pokes her head into view of the camera, dropping her head on Jimmy's shoulder.]

A lot of different kinds. I want to make a balanced team.

[Rufflet watches Cherry carefully as he perches on Tobias' shoulder.]

Someone said the first gym had a weakness against electric types? Where would I find one of those?

That's right! First Gym Leader's Falkner, and he's got all flying types. I was able to challenge him without too much trouble because my starter was an Electric type.

Has anyone told you about the breeding center yet? They give one free egg to anyone new who shows up, so you might be able to get a good Electric type there! I can give you the number, if you want.

The...

[... Uh.]

... Pokemon come from eggs? Like... all of them do?

Uh huh, that's right!

[Jimmy's....well he never played Pokemon before, so he just assumed that was normal.]

That's... really weird. I mean, not for like... birds or snakes, but...

[Mammals do not come from external eggs.]

[ Silly Tobias, you need to watch more anime! ]

America! [ yyeeeeessssssss ] Oh, I'm so jealous! Is it just like the movies? Do you live in New York City? [ Her eyes are sparkling. Run, Tobias. ]

[Son you're in Johto now, get used to it.]

Yeah, maybe a little! But eggs kinda hatch different here too. They don't break open or anything...they kinda start to glow, and suddenly in a burst of light you've got your Pokemon!

_{[Advice Henry is here!]}

Try to travel in a group if you can. It's harder to protect yourself from wild pokemon at night if you're just starting out.

I don't know anyone here. Traveling in a group is a bad idea.

[Not letting anyone get the chance to shove his head in a toilet again, nope.]

[But early to mid 90s anime problems.]

N... o. I'm from California. And it's not really anything like the movies. I bet wherever you're from probably isn't like the movies there, either.

[No I don't wanna.]

That's even weirder. They sound like aliens or something.

[... Cute aliens. And not Yeerks.]

_{[Henry shakes his head.]}

I didn't either, but it's better than getting attacked by hypno-owls in the dead of night.

I can handle some owls.

[... Well he could. He can't right now. But he knows how to read bird body language.]

Suit yourself...and if your pokemon are low on health try not to make eye-contact with anybody who looks like they're from this place.

Make eye cont - oh. Right. The... the book said that.

[So did the game. But shh.]
