001 [Video]

[The video starts off easily enough. There's a child, who doesn't look to be no more than 8 or so, wearing a cassock and a black cap pulled down low. Puffs of steam rise into the air with every exhale, proving that it's cold out (never mind the few flakes of snow that appear and stick to his clothes). His cheeks are red, and he shivers before really focusing on the thing in his hands.]

I 'unno what's goin' on, but it's cold. It's wet. Someone thinks it's funny as hell to say they're my mom when I dun' even have one. And this furry orange...dog thing keeps talking.

[The view swings around to focus on the Growlithe lying on the ground next to the child. It just looks at him and wags its tail before giving a loud Growlithe! It's like it knows it's being recorded and is just cheesing it for the camera.]

See?! I know I don't know lots about dogs, but I know they're not suppose to talk.

[And there's the child again, frowning and all but glaring at the camera.]

Also, apparently it's my birthday. The thing said it was. I 'unno if it's right, but if it is, this is a horrible way to spend it!

[The child is just about to continue with his tirade before he is knocked over by his Pokemon partner. The video records the fall from the child's hand to the ground, and then suddenly shuts off.]

[Ah...it looks like this person was lucky enough to get a fire type as their starter. A good thing too, it seems, since it's been rather unfairly cold the past few days. There are a lot of questions to be answered, but first thing's first-]

You should stay near him. He'll help keep you warm.

Yeah, this place freakin' sucks all around, better get used to it kid.

[Does misery love company? It had better, because here comes a walking midget of a thundercloud, grudgingly carrying a Magikarp in both arms.]

Welcome to Johto, where ya get yanked away from whatever fresh hell is waitin' at home, turned human, and given a monster t'make up for it. Oh, and APPARENTLY sometimes thus place just dumps you back here and steals your stuff, so good luck with that.

[Is he in a bad mood? He seems like he's in a bad mood.]

[chickshades]

...how can you not have a mom?

That's because it's not a dog.

[Hello small child, this is Rin. He's really trying to be helpful. Honestly. Truly. Oh! Give him a second, there is something else he has to say...]

Happy birthday, by the way.
