001 | Video/Action for New Bark
[When the feed begins, anyone tuning in to the Network is going to be graced with a nose curiously sniffing at the 'Gear, which nearly drowns out the barely detectable sound of someone cheerily humming to the ever present background music that happens to accompany New Bark Town and just about everywhere besides. The humming stops before the creature behind said nose is gently pulled away, revealing the cheery face of a boy who couldn't be much older than 15. He sits with the 'Gear held against his knees, a bright, gap-toothed grin on his face as he shifts into a more comfortable position with his back to a tree.
Sitting in his lap is a rather fluffy Electrike who seems overly curious with just about everything the boy is doing. So much so, in fact, that he has to put a hand on the Pokémon's head to get him to sit still long enough so he can talk.]
Beezy! Heloise! Are you guys around? Can you hear me-?
[The Electrike lets out a low, playful growl and bumps his head against the bottom of the boy's chin, causing him to laugh and trial off before he can continue.]
Heheh, looks like I made a new friend! Gonna hafta' come up with a nickname for you, boy.
[He seems pleased by that, finally settling down enough so the boy can turn his full attention to the 'Gear in his hands.]
Anyways, my name's Jimmy, Jimmy Two-Shoes! I uh....wow, I've never seen a place as bright and nice as this! And the sky is blue, that's awesmazing!
[Clearly this is a kid who hasn't experienced Pokémon in any way, shape, or form....but one wonders as to why the sky should strike him as unusual.
Also yes that is a word that he may or may not have come up with because why not.]
But....could anybody out there tell me where I am, exactly? Or how I got here from Miseryville? I know the map says "New Bark Town", but...I've never heard of a place like that. ..Maybe one of Heloise's inventions sent me here and I just forgot or something...
[He shakes his head a little, laughing to himself. Jimmy might not exactly understand what's going on, but he doesn't seem to be chomping at the bit to go home or anything. He's used to strange and different creatures, so the idea of Pokémon is just something new for him to experience.
Jimmy trails off again after that, distracted by just about everything from the strangely colored sky, to the people (and someone claiming to be his...mom. Not sure what that was about, but she was nice enough. ...Not that he's ever had one.), to the Pokémon themselves. He eventually ends the feed there, the picture of an excited child with lots of questions waiting to be answered.]

Telling you was just to give you a heads up in case it happens to a travel partner.
You are traveling with someone, right?
video;
[He kindof wishes he knew someone in the area because if so he'd try to travel with them. Still, maybe Heloise and Beezy will show up eventually.]
video;
Oh, well it might happen. Travel groups are pretty common here, especially when the weather warms up a lot more.
video;
[Honestly, he's never even been a day alone, so we'll see how well this goes.]
video;
The Pokemon really help out too.
[ Oh! ] Were you told about the freebies that all newbies get? I'm not sure if they're still around though. I just kind of woke up after being out of it for a few months myself.
video;
Mhm! ...Oh yeah, Aradia told me I could get a free egg if I wanted! ...is there anything other than that?
video;
[ Thoughtful pause. ] I thought there might be a newbie assistance center nearby, but that may have changed. It's been a few months since I heard talk about it.
video;
[He pauses himself, thinking.]
Got any idea where it might be, if I went looking for it?
video;
I can ask my allies about it and see if it exists. Think you'll have your voice mail ready for a call back?
video;
...Oh, what's your name, by the way?
video;
Sakura. [ Said slowly so he can catch it. ]
Kind of a tricky name for a lot of the people here.
video;
[He repeats it, slowly. He does skew the pronunciation slightly, but it sounds mostly as it should.]
Ok, s'nice to meet you then! I'll look for your call.
video;
[ Click.
... She really did mean to study it right away, poor guy. ]
