[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.]

There are a lot of different subjects to seek advice on. What exactly do you wish to know?

[... Okay good this works like he thought it did.]

I meant mostly on building a team. I'm... okay at surviving on my own, I don't need help with that.

...What kind of advice are you looking for? I mean, it's really up to you on how you wanna build a team.

I was thinking 'balanced' might work for now. I mean, there's going to be all different kinds of types I'll have to fight.

I see.

Balance is important, but surely that goes without saying. In my experience, I would tell you that finding a variety of types and balancing your team that way would be better than balancing them on pure strength or speed or the like.

...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.]}

Well, yeah. Relying on one kind of tactic is never good. I'm just wondering what goes well with each other... or what I can get at this point, I guess.

Yeah.

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

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--!

Well, learning how to work with the partner you have is probably a good start...

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

[Rufflet squawks again. Yay! Friends!]

I think we should be okay. I'm... ah. Good with birds.

[It's not wrong...]

Oh? Which one do you have, then?

I started off with a Fire-type and got a Grass-type in Cherrygrove City, the next town. Add a Water-type, and they would cover each other's weaknesses. As for Flying-types, I'm afraid I'm not quite sure what their weaknesses are, but I do know they're strong against Grass.

But if I may, what do you know about tactics?

... I think it's called Rufflet?

[He angles the video down to the little creature, who chirps.]

I know a little bit about covering elemental weaknesses. I know more about just... attacking from different angles, using different techniques to surprise an enemy, covering escape routes... that kind of thing.

Ah, I've raised one of those. The evolved form is called Braviary, and it resembles some sort of eagle.

... Really? Huh. I like eagles.

[Well, no. He doesn't. He likes a person who can turn into an eagle, though.]

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

I guess so. Having some luck would be nice.

[ Hey, someone has a problem Mimi can help with! Sort of. ]

If you want to get to the next town, you should go west! Just stay on that route and in a few days you'll make it to Cherrygrove! That's where I am, and it has the most darling little inn... [ Mimi. Mimi there's only one route out of the town. He would have figured it out by himself sooner or later. ]

My name's Mimi, by the way! Mimi Tachikawa. [ A sunny smile. ] What's yours?

I kind of figured. That's what the map says, at least.

[... Uh. Should he give his name? His name is kind of common...]

My name's... Tobias.

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?
