[ The video comes on to show a brightly grinning newcomer! He's already on Route 29, having bolted from New Bark the moment he had his feet under him and his Pokemon given to him. ]

Hey world! I just got here and I got this super cool dog! Look at him! He's on his back legs and run like a champ, it's amazing! Show 'em what ya got Danny! [ The camera focuses on a Riolu, bright-eyed and eager. Danny the Riolu playfully flexed it's not-impressive arms, before turning and using his Quick Attack to show off his speed. Zip-zip! But then Ash quickly told Danny to stop and turned the camera again; this time it lands on a Sentret nearby. ]

Holy shit, who's that Pokemon? I'm gonna try and catch it. Here, hold this- [ Wait. The camera's being handed to the Riolu. Who turns it on himself and winks, before turning it back to Ash, who is trying to sneak up on the Sentret. Before lunging for it, trying to physically grab it. The Sentret rightly squeaks and struggles with him, before getting a good Scratch on his arm and bolting off. Someone skipped the tutorial on how to catch Pokemon... ]

Ah, ffffff-uck-

Wait! Wait wait wait! As in... "Cos two outta three, aiiiin't bad", Meatloaf?

That's amazing. That's actually amazing. Tell me where the hell you find a guitar when you do cos I'd jam with ya!

_{[And suddenly there are stars in his eyes.]}

Yes! Duuuude! You play?

Heck yeah! My dad's big on music. He taught me how to play, and how to sing well enough that I don't break everyone's ears. He plays violin too but that's like, his baby. I still don't touch it ever, he'd be heartbroken if anything happened to his violin.

_{[HIS PEOPLE!!!!]}

Me too! My dad taught me to play--for church, mostly, but now I'm more into rock and roll, y'know. Thinking of starting a band, no big deal...

_{[Yes, he does squeeze an arm out from between his rino monsters to rake his hair back.]}

Live the dream man! What's your stage name gonna be? Ziggy Stardust? [ He couldn't help it. He had to see if the man knew Bowie too! ]

My dad's dad taught him, and his mum taught him...sort of a family tradition to pass down some music lessons! Family get-togethers are so great, everyone gets a hold of something to play or just sing along. It's great!

_{[He lets out a snort and drops his arm over Meatloaf's forehead.]}

I'm not a thief, man. Naw, my name is gonna be Rockasaurus.

_{[Which is also the name of his fursona that a tiny goat prince helped him invent.]}

[ Ash laughed ] That's a great name! Dya have a partner like, Hiphop-Triceratop? Or are they a rival you're locked in a fight til the ends of time with?

Pshhh, I could crush anybody who had a dumb name like that. What's your stage name?

I ain't got one yet. Dad always tells me to make sure I focus on getting through school before I try being a musician, and to get a steady job first.

I was thinking something like 'Phoenix Down'. Something to do with firebirds cos they're fucking rad.
