[video]

[pidge_out]

[Unfortunately for the current residents of Johto, they might be unfortunate enough to find what might be one of the worst video feeds ever on the network. It seems to cut in and out at first, and even after it manages to stay on for longer than ten seconds, the video is really just... the world spinning endlessly. Ground, leaves, sky, ground, leaves, sky -- Occasionally a tree is visible for half a second and the direction of movement seems to change, but other than that, it's an endless loop of ground-leaves-sky.

It might eventually be obvious that the camera appears to be attached to something that is rolling quickly down a hill. It probably helps that the entire feed is accompanied by the sound of what's clearly a Pokémon "hooting" over and over - rather excitedly, at that - and a voice somewhere in the distance. Pay close enough attention and the words being yelled out are things along the lines of--]

Wait!! Come back!! Just-- Spread your wings and stop rolling already!!

[Does that sound like a new trainer in need of help? That's probably because that's more less exactly what it is.]

*well, that's a start, at least! And thank goodness, watching that spinning image was a bit dizzying*

Ah, and of course, if you need help explaining things to your trainer, I'd be more than happy to assist.

*which he's totally offering to do just to be helpful and not at all because it would get the 'gear back in the hands of its proper owner and a chance for the poor trainer to have a calm, rational conversation*

[Rowlet approves of this plan. Since... well, it's not like he can actually speak to his new trainer properly. Humans and their human-speak only...ness.

Before a minute even passes Pidge is approaching Rowlet's new perch, much to the little Pokémon's delight. He hoots and trills cheerily, fluttering his wings in a very Great job, you did it! kind of way.

On the other hand, Pidge looks more exhausted than anything else. It's a moment before a hand can even come up to pat the little bird on his head.] F-Finally... Geez...

[dreamsofahero]

*oh dear, that poor trainer really looks out of it. Sion waits just a moment, no need to startle someone who's already that worn out, before speaking up*

You may want to know, it seems your partner managed to turn on your 'gear in its enthusiasm...

[The voice coming from the device does indeed surprise Pidge, but the reaction is little more than a few surprised blinks. In the next moment Pidge is reaching to take the 'gear from where Rowlet is clutching it in one little claw and peering curiously into the screen. It's not exactly unfamiliar tech, but put together in this way is something Pidge hasn't quite seen before.]

Oh- Uh, sorry about that. [A glance over to the little bird, and he just sort of preens in response.] I have no idea what his deal is.

[dreamsofahero]

There's no need to apologize. It would seem he merely got a bit overexcited.

I take it you've recently arrived here?

[Pidge lets out a tired little groan.] How could you tell. [Surely it couldn't be the sight of the Rowlet moving closer to Pidge's head, and then promptly beginning to chew on some of the unkempt tufts of hair.]

One learns to recognize the clues, after a while, I suppose.
