#1: Don't you know you're letting all the junk flood in? [Video/Action, New Bark Town]

[...Well, wasn't that a strange turn of events.

Last he remembered, he was on the train back to Tokyo. He was supposed to be heading home. Why did he suddenly end up here, and what's with all this music running through his ears? Does someone have their radio on full blast or something? ...But it doesn't look like there's a radio in sight...

...Well, it's not like things could get any weirder. Other than this sheep-like thing he was shown the ropes on how to catch by an elder. He's already seen his fair share of strange for a lifetime. But that's not his main concern right now. No, in fact, his main concern is said sheep-like thing -- a Mareep, the elder'd called it -- and watching it while it moved around so frantically, presumably from excitement.

...It looked adorable, actually. He couldn't help the little smile.]

Hey, little guy. What do you want?

Mareep! Mareep!

[...He tilted his head, lineface resurfacing. Did it just say its own name? More importantly, he can't discern what it wants just from hearing it say its own name...]

...That doesn't help.

Mareep!

[It nudged his hand, almost as if it were asking for something. Food, maybe? A pat on the head? He isn't sure. He'll go with the latter for now.]

Ma-reeeeeeeeeep...

[> ...This is going to take a while to figure out.

Anyone watching that feed might want to help...]

There's a bag that I'm certain you received full of items that are necessary for your survival out in the wild. I'm not sure what role you've been given, most people start out as Pokemon Trainers, and some start out as Breeders. If you look into your bag, and there is a guide on breeding, then that would be the sign that you're a Breeder. If there isn't, a Pokemon Trainer! Isn't that exciting?

[That explains that weight he'd been feeling on his back. He pulls it off for a second to pull out the book inside...

...Huh. Would you look at that. It's a book on being a breeder...and it looks really thick, too. :|a]

...Like this one? [Man, oh man, is he going to have a lot to go over.]

( voice )

[stressed]

I can't see, sir! Could you turn on your video so I can double check?

( voice > Video )

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

Ah, my bad...

[Derp. Should've known that would've been the case. He turns on the video feed, and on her end, she can see the book -- before he turns it to his own face.]

Better?

( voice > video )

[stressed]

Much better, sir!

[ she gets a better look at what book he's holding, and indeed that is a guide to breeding. ]

Congratulations, you're a Pokemon Breeder! I'd suggest reading through the book and making note of everything you learn. If you have any other questions, you can ask away and I will do my best to answer them!

[He nods, and tucks the manual under his arm for later.]

Actually, I had one other question. What transportation is there?

Your own two feet! There are some Pokemon that you can ride on, though. Those Pokemon can greatly decrease your travel time. The fastest way to travel would be to use the HM Fly once you receive it and to hop on a Flying-Type Pokemon that can learn Fly. Aside from that, I've heard Rapidash and Arcanine are wonderful alternatives for land travel.

[...Have an awkward look.]

There's no bicycle? Or anything along those lines?

[stressed]

I believe so! But they are only sold at Goldenrod City. Which, unfortunately, is very far from where you are. I hope you enjoy walking, sir. You might be doing a lot of it.
