[So, originally, Bucciarati hadn't intended to give the network more than a passing glance unless it was completely necessary.
But then sometimes, as you try to get your bearings, you see a news broadcast about giant birds being menaces at an event, and you manage to spot a somehow familiar face in that footage. Then it becomes necessary.
(Plus, as it happens, he did have a couple of questions that occurred to him when he had been making plans. Funny how such things happen.)
And that's why the video opens on an Italian man, no older than twenty, with a Slowpoke in his lap. The man is rather intent on what he's doing--adjusting his Gear so that the camera's steady--while the Pokémon just... vacantly stares off into the distance, as a Slowpoke is wont to do. Once the man's apparently satisfied, he leans back a bit.]
There we are... Ah... Hello, everyone. I'm a recent arrival. My name's Bruno Bucciarati, and if anyone has the time to spare to answer a couple of questions for me, I'd appreciate it. First of all... Does anyone happen to have any advice for a newcomer that the provided handbook doesn't somehow cover?
Secondly... [He glances down at the Slowpoke, patting the Water-type's head briefly, but frowns when it takes the Slowpoke at least a full second or two to acknowledge the affection.] For Teodoro's species here, are the delayed reactions normal or something I should be concerned about?

but he was 12 at the time-
Nervous smile still in place, the boy awkwardly adjusts his hat.] It's really not as bad as it could be...Team Rocket is restricted to theft and casino maintenance for the most part here, and the grunts they send to try recruiting are pretty easy to beat in a pokemon battle...

[Small blessings, but that's still. Hm. He doesn't like that!!!]
no subject
[He feels like he doesn't!!]
Are you going to be alright after hearing that..?
no subject
[Just. Oh, he does not like this one bit.
Teodoro just lets out a low noise of quiet concern. Concern for who? Unclear.]
no subject
it's a good thing he doesn't broadcast when he encounters his ghosts later onThe boy just sighs.] That's good to hear...
Oh- good luck with your Slowpoke though! [Just reminded of why they were talking to begin with, by that sound.]
no subject
[By now, the Slowpoke is finally inclined to investigate the Gear, which he does by shoving his entire face at it. So Emporio gets to enjoy that view before Bucciarati chuckles and moves the camera away.]
