[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?

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.

...are you okay there...?

[The 14-year-old who responds to the video directs his comments at the Bagon.]

You should get off of him. He won't be able to stand with you on his back.

[Ooh. Oooooh, a Bagon. Waves of nostalgia are hitting him.

...Looks like this kid's is a little more active than Adder was, though.]

Your pokemon might be hungry, if it's trying to open that box. But it'd be better to conserve your meals--and your energy--if you want to travel.
