[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.]

You should! Writing down your own notes can make it easier to remember the matchups. Some type advantages and disadvantages are easy enough to remember, like fire beats ice, but there's some that require a bit of thinking.

Yeah. It doesn't work this way where I'm from at all.

What kind of world do you come from?

... Uh. I don't know, it's pretty normal.

[Aside from the aliens.]

Ooh, then this world will definitely surprise you! Even if there's a lot of familiar things here like TVs and computers.

Just very Pokemon focused.

Yeah, I... guess. I've never seen video phones like this, except on TV.

The PokeGears? Yeah. I think there's similiar looking gadgets back in Akihabara, but not the functions or networking capabilities.

Akia...

Uh. Is that Japanese? Or... Chinese? Korean? ... I only know English, sorry if it's a stupid question.

Nah, it's alright. You guessed it right on your first try, Japanese!

I wouldn't expect anyone to know it, unless they're familiar with Japan in general.

I thought it might be. There's a pretty big Asian population, Japanese in particular, where I'm from.

And where do you come from? As in the country or general area?

California, in America.

California?

[His eyes seem to have brighten up.]

Does that mean you know Silicon Valley?

Not really? California is pretty big.

Aw, I guess it's too much to hope for. Since my parents are working over there.

Yeah I don't... really have any contact with that kind of industry at all.

[Shrug. He's got bigger things to worry about.]

It's worth asking. Other than that, I don't really have anything else to ask you about.

It's okay. I should probably get going here before it starts getting dark.

Alright! Good luck with your travels on the road!

Uh... thanks.
