Thank you. I'll be fine. Let's go, Polar.

[The responding "Vul-pix!" is very telling as to what sort of Pokemon the young man being heard right now is speaking to, his 'gear either on by accident or because the aforementioned Vulpix had done it because it's trainer was being stubborn.

Whatever the case, anyone listening will hear 'Mom' saying goodbye then the music changes as they step outside--

and that's when the video clicks on as the 'gear hits the ground, an Alola Vulpix looking rather pleased with itself as it stares down at it. The little fox chirps at the 'gear then leans in to nose at it, turning it just right so he can pick it up and aim it at his trainer as he trots after the young man who is...not paying attention.

Rather he's digging through his bag with a bit of a frustrated frown.]

None of this is mine...I don't understand what's going on. That woman claimed to be my mother but she definitely wasn't. [He stops digging around and slings it onto his shoulder properly, looking back at his Vulpix--and giving everyone a proper look at his split hair and eye colors and that lovely scar he's got--only to pause.]

...You're filming me aren't you?

[The Vulpix chirps around the 'gear in its mouth and the young man sighs, turning completely and approaching his partner. He kneels down and reaches out to take the 'gear, holding it up properly so he can address the network.]

If anyone from U.A. High is seeing this, please contact me as soon as you're able. The sooner we find one another, the better.

[For all he knew, this could be the work of a villain's quirk after all.

He pauses, looking thoughtful.]

Actually, even if you aren't from U.A. High...I think it's best we work together to get out of here.

[That's what Izuku would say isn't it?]

I'm in some place called New Bark Town if that helps any. I'll be here for the next hour.

[End video.]

[Shoto just stares for a moment.]

And everyone..is okay with it?

Pretty much. I mean, there isn't much to be worried about, except for Team Rocket and even then, there's always the Jenny's to keep the peace in town.

That sounds a little too perfect, if I'm going to be completely honest.

There's problems, admittedly, but the trainer life is a little less harsh than one would expect. This is a world where people are encouraged to travel and find partners and raise pokemon, and battle gyms.

Sometimes there's people starting trouble, but there's a lot of adventure waiting to be had.

[He frowns slightly.]

It just seems strange for everyone to settle into this life so easily..so readily. Shouldn't more people be concerned about getting home?

There used to be a rumor that clearing the League would send people home, but that's been debunked. Since then, people settle down, work as they can, and randomly people go home. There's no rhyme or reason to that however.

I've had friends just up and vanish back to wherever they came from, which is hard when I've known them for a while. But at the same time, it's nice to know that sometimes people can come and go in a good capacity.

I see.

So there's no telling how long we may be here. Or who may come and go while we're here. It's all up to..whatever it is that brought us here.

[He doesn't like it. At all.]

I'm going to keep my eye out for anything strange all the same. Any clues. Just in case.

Yeah pretty much. The best you can do is live as best as you can, and get along with as many people and Pokemon as you can.

Finding your niche is the best part of this world.

Good luck with that.

Thank you. I'll do my best.

[It's all he could do.]
