[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.]

It's not too hard at all! If you ever need any advice, feel free to ask for it. Plenty of people here like helping.

People... tend to be? I mean, we've all certainly been there before. We can certainly sympathize.

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

Well... We did just recover from a hurricane with... sharks... it had picked up in it...

[...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.

Of course, but some people get caught off-guard, or aren't strong enough... There are plenty of reasons.

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

There are but... Well, it seems that people who have been here for some time don't put much stock in the police.

There's still an organization out there apparently that they haven't made any strides to capturing or making a dent in.

You won't hear any arguments from me on that front.

Well... Are you a trainer or a breeder? It should tell you in the back you get starting out.

I see, bad luck then.

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.

Don't worry, he'll evolve into something bigger! A lot of Pokemon are surprising like that. My own starter did very much the same.

Oh. [Garry gives a small chuckle.] The personalities of each Pokemon really do tend to vary... But it looks as though you've gotten yourself a good partner.
