|1| [Video/Action for near New Bark Town]

[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 think I ended up raising what my first one was weak against. In my case, I had a fire-type as my first, so I got a water. I, uh, I'm guessing you have a flying type or something...?

_{[He heard that little squawk, but he's not sure - his Zoroark turns into other things just to confuse him.]}

[wing_attack]

Yeah.

[Rufflet sticks his head into the shot. Hello person!]

[bertall]

I'd go with an electric type. Maybe rock or ice, but I've only dealt with the former. Plus the first gym you'll come across is a flying type if you're in Johto. I, uh... I've only got two but the first one I had came in han--Ah!

_{[Hey, he knows that one!]}

I have one of those! O-Or I did, until it evolved--!

[wing_attack]

Oh. Guess I'll have to find one of those - you do?

[Rufflet squawks again. Yay! Friends!]
