[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.]

Well, I suppose you must be in luck, in that case.

I guess so. Having some luck would be nice.

Well, provided it's good luck, at least.

I'm used to bad luck, so any change of luck would be good.

[Aaand now birdfriend is perching on his shoulder. Okay then.]

*chuckles when he sees that*

Just hope he doesn't stay in the habit of doing that when he gets bigger... Though are you going to name him?

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.

*nods*

Of course... And in my experience, it's wise to be careful not to use a nickname that wasn't your intent to name them in the mean time; I've caught one or two that decided the first thing they were called was their name and refused to answer to anything else...

Ouch. Any ones to avoid, then?

As far as names go? That depends on your preferences, I suppose.

I guess we'll figure it out. We're partners now, right?

[The little bird nuzzles into him.]

Exactly.

Anything to watch out for on the road?

Generally there isn't too much to be concerned with; just try to have extra supplies on hand in case you take longer than expected or so on. Wild pokemon will of course want to battle yours, but you can run if your team is in need of a rest, so there's no need to overdo it.

I'm not too worried about wild Pokemon. I'm pretty good with animals in my world. But extra supplies can't hurt, I guess.

They do like to battle, however; the concern is more a matter of ensuring your own isn't pushed too far to the point of exhaustion from accepting those challenges.

True. I'll make sure he gets enough rest.

*nods*

Beyond that, what you do is really a matter of your preference and style. But as long as you don't heedlessly rush into things there really isn't much to worry about here.

Nah, that's more one of my friends, not me.

Then I imagine you'll have little enough trouble.

Sounds good to me. Thanks.
