[Alright he's figured out how to do video at least. After being ousted from a home that he is pretty sure it got implied he lived in by someone named 'Mom' who certainly isn't his mother or look anything like him. The two toned hair being the one indicator. The fact that he remembers his mother and that this is not his mother is another good indicator.

Or maybe this is the culmination of how many times he's been knocked around. Maybe this is a fever dream.]

Good afternoon everyone.

A local man said he wanted to fight me and then presented a small rat. I think his implication was he wanted me to fight his pet. I don't condone animal abuse so I won't be doing that. However, any time I step near to pass by, he insists I should be battling "him". Each time it's the rat. Does anyone have a number or a contact for a humane society? I don't think I'm comfortable leaving it in his care.

Thank you.

["It's yeah" is the most accurate thing when describing Bakugo and interactions. However, asking his plans leads him to shake his head. It's not a lie, he hasn't any designs on that.]

No, I won't be. I'm fine on my own. Even if these... pokemon are a problem, I won't be beaten so easily by a human so I won't need other heroes for support. I'll be going forward.

[You know, the direction, because otherwise he's not sure what routes are supposed to do for a person but bring them forward when they're new.]

Maybe consider the gym challenge. It's something to do while you're traveling- pro-level pokemon battles against experts in a specific type. Beat all 16 across Kanto and Johto and you can even challenge the Elite Four.

[This sounds pretty interesting and the conversation has been extremely enlightening.]

Where is the first one?

[fortuna_tenax]

The first one in Johto- the region I'm assuming you're in, if you didn't take the ferry in New Bark Town, is in Violet City- it's just after Cherrygrove, and it shouldn't be more than a couple day's travel. Violet's gym is Flying Type.

( she'd put it off more than she truly wanted to because early on she wound up with an abundance of grass or bug types... and yes she trained them well, but she had no desire to do that to them. jasper wound up being the exception, if only because he was also electric type. )

For what it's worth, there isn't any mandatory order to do them in, but the cities are pretty linear for the most part.
