[Hello Pokéworld, this is one of those new arrivals that isn't all that good with technology and doesn't have much of a clue what he's doing. He's figured out after much trial, error, and near-drops how to record a video. Or at least where the record button is and vaguely what it does.

The video comes on to show his face and what looks like tree branches behind him--he's holding the Gear at nearly arm's length--as well as some pink fluff that is the top of the Igglybuff in his lap's head.]

Hey, this is turned on, right? If anyone's getting this, tell me so I don't have to talk to the local wildlife all evening.

I also wanna know if there's a shortcut to the next town...Cherry-something?...three days is a pain to walk, and it's stupid cold out here.

[He's sitting inside the sleeping bag and also wearing a jacket that was in his backpack, but even combined they're not really good for the weather.]

...And I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to be doing with these...monsters. I read that I'm supposed to battle with them, but I took out the bird with a rock myself and the balloon doesn't do anything but sing and try to nest in my hair. So...they're pretty useless, and I hope I don't die out here because all I have is a balloon and a bird to protect me.

[There's a noise off-screen and he jerks slightly before looking around for the source.]

...The hell was that?

That's right. You've obviously discovered how to send a message to every Pokégear, but by writing down the correct number you can contact a single, specific person. You can even write whole letters, if you wish.

[He adds the number for the Centre, to spare Luke the hassle of searching for it.]

Awesome. You're a lot more helpful than anyone else has been so far.

[Best tutorial.]

Thank you. I'm glad my four years of experience here can still be helpful to newcomers. Have you any other questions about this world?

[And this tutorial doesn't even turn evil!]

Four years?! You've been here that long?!

[That's especially long to someone whose years are nearly 800 days long, as his are.]

I...have a lot of questions, but uh--seriously, four years?

Four years is the exception rather than the norm, I assure you. But yes; I can only think of a handful of people who have been here longer than I. It offered quite the opportunity to see this world change and grow.

[And break, once or twice.]

I hope I don't end up sticking around for that long.

...No offense. This place is just too weird so far.

None taken. It is indeed a strange land, with its overly friendly monsters and its advanced technology. But it is also a peaceful, beautiful world, one worth exploring and discovering city by city.

Technology huh? Sounds like something a friend of mine would like a lot.

They'd find quite a few kindred spirits here, then. Certain people can create new uses for the Pokégears, others improve their appliances with their Pokémon's help... All we're missing is a crew of proper airship engineers, and the airships to go with them.
