1 :: video/action for New Bark + Route 29

[video]

What are you following me around for?

[The muffled voice is that of a young boy; about eleven years old, by the pitch, sounding tired and confused. It's followed by a Bagon's babble, then a sigh.]

Never mind.

[There's a clatter, then the 'Gear's audio abruptly clears, as though the mic were moved away from an obstruction. The video clears, too, showing a view of trees and sky and grass on Route 29. A few seconds of silence.]

You shouldn't make a mess of things. [rustle.] What's in there, anyways...? [rustle clunk scrape clatter.] Are these clothes? [thump.] I think this is food- [The Bagon babbles loudly, and the boy yelps, and the 'Gear flips over twice. The video now shows the Bagon running around, Mom's bento lunch in hand, biting the box determinedly. The boy is standing up, watching helplessly.]

Wait, don't take that! It's not yours, it - oof-! [He takes two unsteady steps, leans forward, and falls over. The Bagon hops up onto his back and sits down on top of him, still chewing away on the box.] Let me up..!

[action]

[Before that elegant scene takes place, a purple-haired kid in Youngster garb can be found in New Bark, stumbling his way out of town and falling over every twenty seconds or so. The Bagon orbiting his feet appears to be offering him moral support...or maybe it's just yelling at him. He looks pretty determined to get out to Route 29, scraped knees be damned.]

[Now, Jack's a nice enough guy, but he's no saint. And since he had to miss out on Bunny's likely recreation of this very scenario, he has to take what he can get. And laugh at it.

But only a little.

Mostly.]

He's gonna be following you around for a while, so you might as well get used to it. Let me guess, you aren't supposed to be human, either?

[nnnnnrgh. Yeah, sure, laugh, whatever.

Dorumon clumsily reaches for the source of the voice and drags it to himself across the ground, still pinned down by the insistent Bagon. He blinks at it, turning it around a bit. It...has a screen, and buttons...there's something comforting and familiar about it, though he's never seen anything quite like it before.]

What's a human?

Heh. Thaaaaat's about what I figured.

A human is what you are right now. Welcome to your new home away from home.

[Hu...mon.

He doesn't remember evolving.]

What do you mean? Who are you?

[Okay, okay, Jack'll be nice.]

Name's Jack. I've only been here about a month, so I don't exactly have all the answers, but I'll do my best.

Right now you're in Johto. The... critter on your back is your pokemon. It's kind of a thing here.

Um...

[Tenten doesn't have much patience for those who aren't willing to help themselves, but this kid looks to be trying really hard.]

If you're having trouble walking, try lowering your weight a little. You know, bending your knees and dropping your weight. It'll make you more stable.

[Lowering weight...it's because of these long legs he's having so many problems in the first place. If he were heavier, if his feet were bigger, more like Alphamon...]

Let me up, already. [He squirms, pushing himself to his knees. Bagon tries to stay seated, scooting up towards his shoulders when he starts to move, but ends up tumbling off with a little squawk.

Dorumon uses a tree to pull himself onto his feet.] Bending my knees... [Knees bent. Probably a little too much. He lets go of the tree, wobbles, and grabs onto it again. Tentatively releases his grip, takes a few steps forward, and completely loses his balance - this time he's able to land on his knees instead of kissing the ground like before.]

[She winces. It's a start?]

No, not so much. Like... okay, try standing again, hold onto something, and then just slowly bend your knees until you start to feel more stable.

You're new here, huh?

[...With "Pokemon" glaring at him the way it is, he feels silly for falling all over the place...

He'll take his time getting up, now. These shorts don't do much to protect fragile knee skin. (What's up with that, anyways?)]

I...I think so. I don't know a place called Johto. [Alright, time to give this another try...]

[It's just a couple scrapes, she's sure he'll be fine!]

Y-yeah, that tends to happen a lot. Um. Welcome to Johto, I guess. There's two regions, Johto and Kanto, and, uh...

Well, let's just say if there's a way back, no one's told me what it is.
