01 | Voice/Video; Action for New Bark Town | How do I technology?

[ You can hear fabric rustling, and the sound is muffled, like someone left their 'Gear on inside their pocket. ] Calm down, Talim. Okay.

There must be some mistake-- Excuse me! Someone? This woman is not my mother. I must-- Oh! [ There's a thud, and the 'Gear goes clattering to the ground. The video kicks on at a rather odd angle, showing... someone's foot, a bag, a pokéball, and, well, the ground. ] I'm terribly sorry.

[ The foot knocks into the pokéball, causing it to open. Talim gives a squeak of surprise, and falls flat on her butt, narrowly missing the already fallen 'Gear. ]

Scyther.

Ah. Hello?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

*GUH. Busted.*

--ah! J-Just giving commentary, Miss! The scene really looked like it needed some, that's all~

I didn't really mean for everyone to see all of that. I suppose I have a lot to learn about this... thing.

Mm, it can be pretty complicated for people who aren't tech-savvy.

... er... Used to it, that is.

I'm finding that out. [ she laughs a little ] If you're speaking to me through this, does that mean you're in another city as well?

That would be a yes in the largest font size available. I'm pretty much half way across Johto! New Bark seems so long ago... Ahhh yes... Back in the days when it was flooding and the routes were waterlogged for an entire week after my arrival...

A flood! How long ago was it? I hope no permanent damage was caused.

I'm not too sure on the damage side of things, but that was about seven months back... Time sure does fly when you're trapped in a strange land full of monsters of varying adorability!

Goodness. That's certainly a long time.

[ And speaking of monsters of varying adorablity, Talim's Scyther pokes his head over her shoulder ] Scyther?

Yeah, it only sinks in when I say it out loud...

*whooooa there bladed bug* --whoa! ... wait, is... is he actually bigger than you?

Hm? [ she looks up, and gives the Scyther a pat on the muzzle ] A little bit. I'm not very tall.

Scyther! Scy!

[ a laugh ] Apparently he's my partner.

It sure seems that way! I definitely don't remember those being native to New Bark.

Although... I'm honestly kind of impressed you didn't scream or anything when you saw him. I know I sure would have.

Those? [ she looks a little embarrassed ] I'm afraid I don't even know what he is.

... Ah, well. I knew he wasn't going to hurt me.

--ah! Pokemon can only say their names or make vague animal-like noises, so... He's a Scyther. *motioning a little* You can find out more about him if you use the pokedex function built into the gear.

Still... He's certainly got a scary look about him! What with the... blades for arms and all.

Scyther. [ she frowns a little ] What's a pokédex? And... ah, how do I access it?

[ she regards the pokémon for a moment ] I suppose, but there's nothing about him that suggests he wishes to do me harm either.

Oh, right, um... There should be a symbol that looks like-- *drawing a vague shape with his fingers in the air; it isn't very helpful* Like a... um... How do I phrase this without using fancy technology words... *tapping his chin......* Oh! Just select the top left most button in the menu when you're swapping features. That should turn it on.

Ah, sorry-- I didn't mean to imply he did, it's just that... *hrm to be blunt or not-- oh who am I kidding* A big bug with swords for arms is a pretty scary thing!

[ blank. stare. ] I see...

Oh, no. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that I thought you implied-- I suppose I've just never been one to be bothered by outward appearances much. [ Really, you go a couple rounds with Nightmare or Astaroth and a giant bug with blades for arms is the least of your worries ]

[ As she speaks, she fiddles with the 'gear, still really not sure what to do. She sort of finds the pokédex by accident, and it spouts off information about her Scyther ] Oh! How useful!

Oh! That's a good outlook to have. It should help a lot once you get on the road with all the different types of Pokemon here...

*He can tell she's fiddling about, so he nods a bit once she finds it.* Mm, it is. If you ever need some extra information regarding a Pokemon, that's the best way to start out.

Are all the animals here pokémon?

Mm... Yeah, all the ones you'll normally see, anyway. You can find food that's made from 'normal' animals, but... I've never actually seen them...

... Strange. I wonder where they keep them.

Haaaa... It's one of the many mysteries of Johto that I don't think I'm ever going to get to solve.

Perhaps it's for the best.

Y-Yeah... I don't want to imagine what the secluded area of the world they have all the normal animals hiding in is like...

It can't be all that bad, can it? [ FOREVER THE OPTIMIST ]

... I would hope not, but for I all I know it could be some kind of demilitarized zone made specifically for animals that Pokemon aren't allowed into...
