[The feed doesn't take long to focus. It's a little shakey at first but then levels out, and a kid with white hair and a Ranger outfit steps back. He's muttering to himself that it "seems like it's working" and then, once the focus kicks in, he clears his throat.]
Ah, Huey Duck here, trainer ID [Number]. Transmitting from New Bark Town. I am a fresh arrival, and this is a call for assistance by anyone more experienced at being here than I am.
[There. With the business up front and out of the way, he can get on with the rest of the message now.]
I arrived not too long ago and, as I understand many others have, I have acquired a PokeGear and a Pokemon. [He leans and adjusts the feed until it shows a Castform, spinning happily nearby, more concerned with what seems to be watching the clouds than anything else.] As it seems to resemble a water molecule, I have currently nicknamed it Cavendish.
[A little chuckle at his own joke, then it petered off and he cleared his throat, setting the PokeGear back where it was.]
I must confess I am quite... well, not exactly out of my element, finding new worlds and monsters is all part and parcel of being part of the adventuring family I am. Even if it does come with... [And he looked at his hand, flipping it over and wagging his fingers.] ...strange transformations.
[Then he shook his head and looked back at the camera.]
But I do feel a little over my head. So, if anyone out there has any advice, I am- more! -than willing to listen. After all, Junior Woodchuck Guidebook rule number two states, "All Junior Woodchucks must be open to the unknown in their quest for truth."
[Here his business attitude drops a bit, as he taps his forefingers together, looking off; likely watching Cavendish just off-screen.]
Even when the unknown is... like this.
[He looked back and leaned to cut the feed, though not without a-]
Huey Duck, initial transmission complete.
[And off.]

[Incredulous because how could they do this? ...And there's no way Louie could be right either, is there?]
Well I'm- sure they knew what they were doing when they constructed it that way..!

[... Hmm...]
Maybe... it's the same principle behind bridges?

[He reaches into a pocket- oh who am I kidding, it's under his hat -and removes a small book, labelled with a highly stylized "JWG" on the cover, and starts flipping through it.]
There's something called "mass damper" that helps tall enough structures deal with the power of the wind. Bridges and skyscrapers are built with mobility in mind, even if it's such a slight thing, in skyscrapers anyway, that it's hardly noticed at all. It could be something similar to that!
[Claps the book shut and looks back up.]
You just might be onto something-! Er, I'm sorry, I haven't gotten your name yet.

Oh, my bad! It's Vinegar Doppio, but just call me Doppio.
