[the view, which seems to be of patch of grass, is jostling around, tapping as well as a muffled curse] ...probably Stark technology. [the camera jostles everywhere as the man turns it around in his hands] Wait, Stark's name isn't on it, can't be his. What Stark would miss the chance to plaster his name everywhere.

[the camera moves around some more, mostly catching glimpses of the ground and a building, the man huffs] Do you know how this works?

[a pokemon makes a negative sounding "ri" before the camera moves again, catching a glimpse of sky but then is obscured by a thumb] Yeah, me neither.

Seems to be on. [moves his thumb, a man with short, tidy, blond hair and curious blue eyes comes into view, his blue top fits perfectly to his muscles, but is otherwise unmarked] Is that the len- This is one of those video phone gadgets.

Okay, so best guess is someone can or will see this, so does anyone know what or where this place is? What century is it? Because it seems more like I slept into a few centuries this time, I mean I have my little blue companion with me, so it's not all bad, but I just want to know where I woke up this time. Because this isn't Kansas.

This place seems relatively nonhostile, but is there anything I should be aware of that's dangerous or not so good? I can hold my own in a fight, but I rather be prepared than caught off guard.

Also, what's the best way to gather more Pokemon in your opinion?

There are varying levels of hazards. You could call the tall grass dangerous, if your aim is to avoid a fight; that's where you'll find wild Pokemon hiding, frequently, though they're also in the trees and overhead. The ledges are worth avoiding if you're not looking for bruises and scrapes; despite what physics and common sense might otherwise suggest, they're only traversable in one direction, and generally not the one you want to go. Your more human threats will be other trainers and Team Rocket. They'll approach you and ask to battle, if you're lucky. They'll ambush you and draw you in if you're not.

Most of my Pokemon acquisitions have been through hatching eggs purchased from other trainers or the Breeding Center. But some were ones I came across just as I traveled. You'll know when you spot one that's right for you.

Okay, so beware of logically unsound ledges. Is this Team Rocket anyone of interest?

Thanks, I saw signs about the breeding center and decided to sign up for an egg. I also have looked through the Pokedex and am interested in a couple Pokemon. Seeing my funds are limited right now, I'll keep an eye out for them and any others I see along the way.
