♥ 001 [Video]

[The video switches on, revealing a confused looking child staring at it. Then, he switches it off. A couple of seconds later, the video is on again. It shows him having the same expression before turning it off again. Ritsuka switches the video on for the third time. But this time, he's looking elsewhere, frowning.]

It's not like I'm asking for help, but I really need it since it's quite an emergency.

[Ritsuka turns back to the camera.]

Can someone please tell me where I am? This place is obviously not my hometown. There are too many adults here. And that mom... She is such a nice mother, but she's not my mom.

Before I forget anything else, this cat here... is it supposed to be mine? It keeps following me everywhere. Not like I care about it, though.

[There goes the glamorous Glameow in the background, staring blankly at the screen. What a cat.]

...Soubi. [He exhales, and his voice is rather serious.]

If you're here, contact me immediately. I really mean it. Now.

I'm not sure about that term... but they are our companions. They fight other Pokémon to become stronger and to help their trainer move forward and we take care of them in return. [Or at least that's how he's figured it goes. Not that he knows too much about the whole Pokémon business.]

[Gives a thoughtful look.]

...Such a small creature to be most important role in our journey. I will listen your advices, mister.

You must have experinced this.

[Mister? Way to make him feel old.]

Not really, since I arrived only a few days ago. I only gathered the basics. [And then there's the games, but he hasn't played them, so he doesn't mention them.]

[Not going to blame him if he doesn't introduce himself earlier.]

So you're passing down the information. It's helpful one.

I thought it would be good to help others as good as I can since the whole situation is so confusing.

[Well and maybe make some friends, too, since it's a new place and he doesn't really know anyone yet.]

I'm Shiraishi Kuranosuke by the way. Nice to meet you.

[Ritsuka thinks this guy can be trusted, at least. Since they're on the same boat.]

Ritsuka Aoyagi. It's nice to meet you too.

[It's been awhile he introduces someone, especially the 'adults']

[Shiraishi smiles.]

Oh and when you leave town be careful of the tall grass. Wild Pokémon attack you there.

[Because advice from adult is important.]

Don't worry. I can take care of myself.

This adventure is quite challaging for you, Shiraishi?

It might be. I'm not really used to traveling like this.

Let me guess... You used to be other profession instead?

[Maybe this guy is a teacher? Or probably businessman?]

Profession? Uh... I'm a student so I wouldn't have any profession. Unless playing tennis at national level counts as one.

[Ritsuka has no idea Shiraishi is still a student.]

Ah! I didn't get the full picture from here. I'm sorry.

It's alright. For some reason people often mistake my age.

Can't help it.

[It's hard to judge by just looking at their appearance though.]

Mmhm. It's not like it does any harm anyway.

[He found a nice adult. Yay~]

You're here few days ago, right? Which means you're near Cherrygroove City. I'll probably catching up with you later.

Yeah, I should reach Cherrygrove soon, if I haven't gotten lost. [Which shouldn't happen on a straight road like this.]

Do you want me to wait there? It might be nicer to travel with someone rather than alone.

Is it alright with you? I mean, you don't have to wait...

[Ritsuka thinks again. Actually, it is nice to travel with someone, since Soubi isn't around. Who else he's going to hope for?]

Okay then, I'll be quick to get there.

I don't mind the wait at all. I was planning on taking a break in the city anyway.

So I'll see you there, then.

[Luckily, even if he's tossed around soon in future, he'll definitely be in Cherrygrove when it all ends.]
