[ 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-

So it's just a game...?

Hey Danny, dya wanna fight?

[ Unfortunately for Sion, Danny is exactly like his trainer. At being asked that question, he takes it as an immediate challenge and THROWS HIMSELF AT ASH, landing squarely on his chest and trying to pin him with a cheerful cry ]

OH FUCK-

*... oh, dear*

Ah... perhaps you should be more specific as you what to fight...

It's okay, I got this! [ What results is some playful roughhousing between Ash and Danny. It's clearly not a serious fight for either of them and Danny's too quick and skinny to be held in one of Ash's bear hugs for long. The two finally settle down, Ash splayed on his back and Danny sitting on top of his chest triumphly. VICTORY! ]

Ah....Reckon you might have a point though. If that's how it goes?

It is generally how things work here, yes, strange though it may seem. If you'd like, I've compiled some information that addresses some of the most common questions newcomers here have.

*he'll even helpfully send over the link!*

[ He does begin to read it but...it waffles on a bit. He clearly begins to skim over it, trying to pick up on the 'cliffnotes' here. He doesn't need to know all the parts of a pokeball. ]

Soooo, it's okay to have them fight each other is what I'm getting.

[ But the guide mentioned home...he sits up, causing Danny to slide down into his lap with a surprised boof ]

Hey so urm. Is there a guy named Oisin here? Blonde hair, has an Irish accent? Has probably told someone to not be a bloody idiot at some point?

*well, at least Sion included headers for each section so he can skip the parts he already knows?*

It is. They appear to take to it naturally, in fact.

I haven't heard of anyone like that, however, so not to my knowledge.

[ Ash's mood noticeably cooled a little. upon hearing that Sion hadn't seen Oisin. ] Ah. Okay then. Well, let me know if you see him around, yeah?

Certainly. Though if you think he's likely to be here, I'd recommend asking other people, as well.

*even Sion can't keep track of everything....*

Well, I mean. He's probably already been asking about me, if he's here. He's my Dad, and he worries a lot about things.

[ Legitimately so, given his son has already thrown himself at wild Pokemon. ]

*chuckles*

Unfortunately, I can't say I've heard anything like that, myself, but it wouldn't hurt for you to try anyway, I imagine.
