-it's on? Thank you...
[The screen is at first obscured by something that moves away with a raspy chirp, leaving a bespectacled man to glance away from the screen for a moment before turning his attention to it. He seems worried but composed, letting his hand fall from where he'd been rubbing a knuckle absently against his forehead.]
Good...afternoon. [pause, then a sigh.] And a strange one. I don't know who is or how many are listening, but I hope my situation isn't common among you.
[More of that chirping, and Ondorus looks to his side as a green blob of feathers flutters its way up to his shoulder and shuffles around there for a moment, cooing. He smiles wordlessly for a moment and then looks back at the Pokégear.]
She offers her greetings, too. Anyhow - is there anyone listening to whom Sol Terrano means anything? Or, at least, Norad? Or...[His smile falls a little, and he breathes in as he thinks how to word this]...any for whom being a human comes as a bit of a shock?
-or knows of the Forest of Beginnings. [It comes out more rushed than the rest of what he's said, as though the thought came to him suddenly. The Natu on Ondorus' shoulder taps her foot firmly against him, and he nods a little.] Nobody here seemed to respond to any inquiry.
[He glances down (fiddles with something-) and back up.] I hope I'm using this correctly. [A tired smile.] Apparently there's a town of some size that I should get started on reaching. Thank you for your time - and I hope to make acquaintances with some of you.
[Ondorus bows his head politely, then the Pokegear tilts back so that it is receiving a shot of the sky. Offscreen, his voice can be heard - how do I shut this off, now? - along with some chirping from the Natu, and after a few seconds the entry ends.]

Thank you. Though I've never seen anything like this before - I think our success can be attributed to Olivia.

It's great to see you getting along so well with your Pokemon! Too many people arrive here trying to fight them, or get away from them; I saw one girl trying to fight hers with a stick! Although it didn't end too well for her, really...
[[Well, anyway!!]]
You seem like a natural!
[video]
I suppose I have an unfair advantage in that regard...and am fortunate enough to have received such a kind guide. I hope your own arrival wasn't so, hm, turbulent as what you've described?
[video]
[[Have a laugh, Ondorus.]]
At least, that's the way I see it!
[video]
Not a bad way to look at it at all.
[it's settled, you're cute and he likes you]
Adaptable people never do poorly in life. I'll try to follow your example in this.
[video]
I think that might be the best thing to do! If I don't say so myself, and all that.
My name's Emmy; what's yours?
[video]
I'm Ondorus. It's a pleasure to meet you.

["a look", he says, like he didn't just devour the whole thing in ten minutes]
It covered the technicalities of how to get along in Johto quite well.

[[Not that she was a member of the first camp there, or anything.]]
Well, you sound like you're completely set! Just head out the gate of New Bark Town and your adventure can begin!

[Classy little cape-toss-and-bow, here.
adventurous times call for appropriately dramatic actions shush he's always wanted to be a hero ok]
