[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, in my two cents, from what I've read, Jolteon is a really wonderful electric type to balance out that Rufflet you have. [Yes, he may have eavesdropped on the other conversations, sssshhh they were public anyway] They're extremely quick! So if getting the drop on your opponent is something you're interested in, they're a good choice.
I actually breed Eevees, which are a pre-evolution for Jolteon... I wouldn't mind giving you one for free when my next batch is bred. When you have enough money after working in maybe Cherrygrove, I wouldn't mind buying a Thunderstone for you here in Goldenrod and sending it to you over the PC.
There are some thing it seems you can only get here in the big city, I'm afraid...
[Garry, helpful Eevee guy. To be fair, they're a good investment Pokemon.]
I'm Garry, by the way.

That sounds good. Speed is almost always useful in fights. I... uh. How much would I owe you? And what kind of jobs could someone like me get?

As for jobs, most things aren't too hard, actually! The Pokecenter might be a good place to start, since you can learn about different Pokemon while you're there. Some of the shops accept cashiers, and there are inns where you can cook or do other things.

[Those poor customers.]

That isn't to say bad things don't happen here, but I like to veer on the side of optimism.

[He's still suspicious, though.]
What sort of bad things?
Video;
[...Still not the weirdest fucking thing he's seen 'tho, sigh.]
There's also, of course, criminals- people who will mug you or steal your Pokemon.

[It... it would probably hurt to get kicked in the groin, Pokemon or no Pokemon.]

Not everyone is a fighter, or has a team that can do their fighting for them.

So... what sort of other things do you suggest for... someone starting out?

[What. He's still having problems with the 'Pokemon come from eggs' thing, but hang on. He flips through ant takes a look.]
... Trainer, I guess.

There's really only walking that's available to you right now, but you can always get a Pokemon egg from the breeding center. Blitzle, Ponyta, or an Onix.. I think those would be big enough to ride. They help cut down the traveling time.
Flying Pokemon need a TM called Fly for you to use them- I have one. But you also have to have defeated... Ah, I'm sorry, I forget his name, but he's a trainer in Violet City.
You see, a lot of the cities past New Bark and Cherrygrove have what are called Gyms. If you defeat the Gym Leader in charge of them, they'll give you special items, money... Things like that. They're really important for finding special TMs like Fly, or allowing you to use them in the first place. The one in Violet is the latter.
Video;
[Hm... oh. He vaguely remembers something like this.]
That's... frustrating. Though I guess it's fine, I don't think he's big enough to carry me yet, anyway.
Ruff!
... Yes, I'm talking about you.

[A small bird who... hops up onto his head. Um.]
... You're friendlier than I thought you would be...
