I got rather fortunate. The kimono I arrived in was positively beautiful, but it's not very practical for traveling.

[This sure is a new face appearing on the network, seated at a window seat in a cafe. The way the 'Gear is positioned shows Cherrygrove outside, so it's clear he's done a little traveling. The bandana tied around his arm and the green apron he's wearing identify him as a shiny new breeder. There's a little Charmander on his shoulder, too.]

Let me introduce myself. My name is Garry- I'm a friend of Ib's if you happen to know her. We arrived in Cherrygrove not too long ago. I was hoping now that I've gotten... a little used to things, maybe someone could answer a few questions I have.

I'm apparently a "breeder", or at least that's what it seems to say in this handbook I was given. I've read through it, so I think I have a decent idea of what to do.. It seems Izzy here- [A point to the Charmander.] - is in the 'Monster' and 'Dragon' groups, right? What sort of Pokemon are good to breed in those groups? Or... if you don't know, what are your favorite to breed? Any sort of tips would be appreciated.

I got an egg not too long ago- [He adjusts the camera to show the little egg on his lap.] Cyndaquil is in the... field group, I believe. I know it doesn't match, but I thought maybe it would be for the best if I didn't jump into things right away. Pokemon being 'just friends' seems like a good start before I start to breed them.

[He'd much rather be home... But when in Rome, right?]

Also, I've heard there are some people who have been here for quite some time. If you'd like to talk, I'm curious about some things.

You can still sell animals, can't you? I suppose it would be a bit like dogbreeding then, wouldn't it... I really don't want to have too many on my hands, I just got this egg in case anything happened to Izzy.

It probably would, yes. But dog can be hard to sell all the same. You would still have to feed them in the interim.

[A small pause.]

Where did you get this egg, anyway?

If it's just for a little while... I think I should be fine.

Ah, there was an advertisement for a place called the Breeding Center. It seems like they deal a lot with selling eggs and helping Pokemon become adopted...

[Marcia won't admit it, but the more she's talked to people, the more she's come to realize that... Well, maybe she should get a second of these creatures. So the breeding centre has her attention now.]

And was this egg free?

Just this one. Apparently, to help people who've just arrived in this place, they give out one free egg.

Any others you have to buy... But I don't have enough money for that just yet.

How... generous of them.

[Even though she's tempted, she still wholeheartedly disapproves of the concept in general. Oh, how complicated her life is.]

I would hope you wouldn't waste money on one of them, at the very least. I don't expect children to know how to budget money carefully, so I would say you're doing well for yourself so far.

Well, I was living on my own away from my parents before I was brought here. There were particular schools I wanted to go to, you see. They helped with a lot of things... But I tried to rely on myself when I could.

Well good for you. Independence is a good thing to have. It's never a good idea to rely too much on other people.

It does come in handy for things like this, although I never expected it to happen.

That reminds me, how have you been doing? The weather has been a bit cold, and it is a bit of a treck to get to Cherrygrove... Or did you go on the boat?

Okay! [She beams at him, taking her seat.] Well, I checked with the Breeding Center, but none of my Pokemon are there. I guess I'll have to start over.

That's a shame.... Although there's nothing wrong with starting over sometimes. Since you are starting over, do you think you would qualify for that deal they have there? The first egg being free and such...

We could choose your second Pokemon together, that way. [It seems like an easy way to do things without anything dangerous happening out in the wild.]

Maybe? I could ask them.

I'd like that!

Well, it's worth a shot. There were a lot of them that looked like they would suit you!

So you're a breeder too huh.

Since you're new then, make sure not to leave your pokemon alone at all times, otherwise you might end up with a bunch of eggs you didn't want.

Oh? What were you thinking of? [Scrolls through her gear.] I kind of like Chikorita...

That's actually one of those I thought you would like! [He leans in a little just enough to get a glimpse of her screen.] I thought that or Audino might fit you nicely..

They breed that quickly? [Yikes... He thought Ib was the one who had the rabbit.] My... I'll be sure to take your advice then.

Have you had that problem, then?

Nice to meet you Garry and welcome to Johto. [Otacon waved through the PokeGear's screen at the new guy. It was nice to welcome new people, right? He himself was still pretty new too.]

A Breeder, huh? I was going to pick Breeder too but changed my mind at the last minute. You got an egg? [Otacon's eyes slightly widened at the small egg in his lap.] Who gave you that?

Hmm, well, I think I like Chikorita more than Audino.

[At the very least, it seems to make Garry feel better. He's still not entirely sold on this place, but it puts a lot of his worries at ease with each friendly person who responds.]

Thank you. Oh, this? [He places a hand on the egg.] There was a place I heard about through an ad... It seems that they like to give an egg for free to new people here. I thought it would be good company for Izzy, and if something happens to him while we're fighting off those other creatures on the paths, there will be something to back him up.

I hope I made a good choice... I'm a bit new to this sort of thing.

Then let's ask, and see if we can get you one. I'm sure the people at the Center will be very kind and understanding, if they're already offering something like this to start with.

Still, I don't mind paying for it if I have to. It's only fair.

I've not actually got one of those yet. Perhaps I should find out, since I'm new here too. [He felt Piplup jump up onto his shoulder to get a better look at the new guy.]

This is Piplup, my starter Pokémon. He's very interested in new people so forgive his face pushing against the screen at times. [He smiled at the little blue penguin.]

So, you said you got your egg through an Ad? Do you know what Pokémon it will be when it hatches?

You really are a good girl, Ib. Ah, but if you ever need help paying for anything, don't be shy about asking favors, alright? There's an opening at the Pokecenter that I can take for a little while, since I'm old enough to work.

If it's you, I wouldn't mind it at all. It's the least I can do.

Goodness, quite a few of these seem rather cute... [There's a funny kind of relief to his voice. So far he's yet to find any Pokemon that scare him- well, too much. There are a few that worry him, but it's more for Ib than anything.]

[...Definitely Ib and not himself. Definitely.]

At least a friendly little thing like that means you'll never be lonely.

Oh, yes, I was allowed to choose! It seems it's going to be something called a Cyndaquil. It seems to have to do with fire too, so hopefully it and Izzy will get along in the future.
