1st Struggle [video/text/audio] -- New Bark Town
[SNOW. NOTHING BUT SNOW. At least, that's all that can be seen. By this point, it can be assumed that someone has either a) left their gear on a moment too long or b) has had their gear hijacked by their brand new critter. Sadly, this is option d) . . . ]
LET ME BACK IN! IT'S FREEZING OUT HERE! [There's a distinctive whine in that person's voice. Obviously, he isn't used to leaving home without a jacket. Nor is he used to waking up with a woman in his face who is claiming to be his mom, but everyone's had that experience already...]
D-Dammit... who throws out people into the snow? Who was she anyway?
[Still, can't see a darn thing. The kid, definitely a boy, is still grumbling and he's still pretty darn cold. And -- he's picked up the gear. Hm. The kid looks pretty normal: black hair, blue eyes, Japanese? Maybe. The look on his face clearly says: IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SNOWING IN THE SUMMER OR THE SPRING. IT'S TOO COLD FOR THIS. There was clearly too much cold around for him to notice anything missing about him. Clearly. Surely he had to be wondering where his friends were... but. Still. Cold weather. Sort of mind numbing thing here. Besides, his brother must be around. It was impossible for him not to be around somewhere.]
[Welp, new kid has nothing to do but pick up all the stuff that fell out of his trainer pack when it was thrown out with him. The entire contents of the pack can be seen scattered around him. It takes him but a moment to get most of it, especially that red and white ball. ...And that little grey puppy that's been growling at him since he picked up the ball. Kid has noticed said puppy. Puppy looks like it's debating something... Rin slings the pack across his shoulders-- ]
[--Wait. Something was missing. Something that he should always have on his shoulder.... Rin reaches for something behind him, but his hand just feels empty air. He turns around and looks to the ground and around again...… he starts digging through the snow too, just in case it was buried but… no… there was no sign of what was missing. Not even a single impression on the snow other than his footprints and that of the puppy. He ignores the dog and heads back to Mom's House.]
Oi!! Lady!! I left something in there! [knockknockkn..ock…? That’s weird. Rin pulls his hand back and looks at the door once more. Normally, a door like this would have budged, at least a little. He tried the door knob instead but that was useless too. And just as odd… He could feel that he was using all of his strength, but it wasn’t doing anything. First no sword, now he wasn’t as strong… He rubbed his bare arms, trying to get some warmth in this freezing weather.] Come on! I really need it!!
[He didn't want to think of what would happen if he didn't have it. Actually, come to think of it, nothing had happened so far. ...For that matter... -- what was up with that puppy?]
...I can feel you staring at me. I don't have time to play now, I need to get back my sword. [But the puppy kept staring. It didn't look too nice either. A little mad, maybe. Okay, definitely.]
. . . Are you supposed to be a dog? [It's an innocent question... But Rin has three seconds to regret his words. Two seconds to see the little puppy bound towards him. One second, a single second, to save himself. And he's just a second too late.]
[POOCHYENA GOES RIGHT FOR RIN'S ARM AND SHE'S NOT LETTING GO. The gear manages to land in the snow video side up as he tries (unsuccessfully) to (safely) pry Poochyena off of him.]
GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Down boy! Down! Get off! Lemme go already!!
[And that's when he notices how much it freakin' hurts. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO HIM...]

So she immediately nods and gives him an encouraging smile. ] I'm sure you and Poochy will do great here in Johto! And if you ever need any help, my Pokemon and I will try our best to assist you in any way we can.
[ Kobato gives him a look of confusion however, at his sudden change of mind about his sword. ] Are you sure...? You seemed really upset about it earlier. But ah, no worries! I'm always glad to help.
video;
He returns that smile as brightly as he can. It's the least he can do to show his appreciation.]
Alright, Kobato, I'll be sure to give you a call~. [Her question doesn't throw him off guard. He shouldn't have mentioned the sword in the first place, but what's done is done. As far as he was concerned, it was out of sight so it should stay out of mind.]
Nah... If I get it back, then I get it back. Let's just say I don't need it anymore now that I have Poochy and your help too.
video;
Good! Perhaps we can even meet once you reach Violet City. [ At his response, Kobato simply nods and smiles. ] Alright, I see. I'm sure Poochy would be more than glad to fight for you and protect you anyway!
video;
Violet City... okay, I'll remember that. Poochy and I'll meet you there! [He smiles back feeling a little awkward as he does so. She was just nice to him~.]
video;
Awesome! Momo-san and Growl-kun and the rest of us will welcome you guys when you arrive.
