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...]

If you actually want it to let go, you'll need to calm it down or give it some food.
Even better just saw it someone else, then it will bite them.
[Rejoice Rin he's actually trying to be helpful, in his own bratty way.]
[Video]
[NOT REJOICING. NOT HELPING.]
[Video]
[Video]
. . . I don't know anything about Pokemon. [But at least now Rin is sure that Poochy's just scared.]
[Video]
Plus don't a lot of animals tend to act either skittishly or aggressively when around people or things, they're not use to. It's common sense.
...Actually that's only bit of common sense that still mostly applies in this place.
[Video]
[He's owned a dog for a total of three hours in his whole life. He didn't feed it much before it was given away.]
Animals act like that a lot, 'specially little ones like Poochy here. Isn't that right? [Poochy staaaaaares.] Right.
[Video]
Like I said, that is the only bit of common sense that still works here. For example; your little Poochy is going to be watching your back from now on.
Oh by the way, welcome to the world of pokémon, you've been kidnapped. [He just knows how to ease people into things.]
[Video]
Thanks for the welcome. [Except not really.] Unless you're behind the 'kidnapping' somehow, let me know.
[Video]
Give you a general gist of things and whatnot. [Out of the goodness of his heart.]
[Video]
[THIS IS A MATTER OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.]
[Video]
[Video]
I'm really human again... ...What else happens to us in this place?
[Video]
At that price, you get to have all the monsters you can catch.
[Video]
I thought they were pokemon.
Re: [Video]
Pokemon is a combination of the words pocket and monster. [It didn't even take him long to figure that out.]
[Video]
So it's seriously a video game about catching "pocket monsters" and, what, training them?

[And now to introduce himself:] Rin Okumura.
[Video]
Okay Rin, do you have any other question before I actually go into the basics?
[Video]
Not really. Get to the basics! [It may all be weird as hell, but it was an adventure~.]
[Video]
Since the mom has kicked you out, you'll need to head to Cherrygroove. Just take the road outside of town.
[This guy seems sort of interesting.]
[Video]
Now I have to go to Cherry-whatever place and... do what?
[Rin's all sorts of interesting!]
[Video]
Though you're going to need to get a job or something since you only have so much money.
