[The feed turns on to show a teenage boy sitting on a bed in some sort of house and an Eevee curled up happily by his side. Man, it sure is a good thing that he managed to find some temporary shelter from the snow...

As he begins to speak, he looks a bit flustered.]

Hi, um... My name is Hajime Hinata. I'm a student from Hope's Peak Academy in Japan, and I just arrived here a little while ago.

[Like anyone cares where he's from... but it just felt right to say for some reason. He pauses for a moment as he tries to figure out what to say next.]

I guess... we're all stuck in the Pokemon world now? It's weird... I haven't played the games in years, but I'm pretty sure that the starting town was supposed to be Pallet Town. Actually, I was looking at the map earlier and none of the towns seemed familiar at all. But I guess I could just be remembering wrong...

Oh, and also...

[He shifts the camera's view to the window where a red-nosed Stantler can be seen some distance away, seemingly beckoning to a group of people standing nearby.]

Since when did Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer become a Pokemon?

[No really he's confused here.]

[Hope's Peak? Well that will certainly get Mondo's attention. He's kind of worn out after all that traveling to pick up Saionji, but when he replies to the video he's grinning widely anyway. As usual, his hair is styled in that over-the-top pompadour and he's wearing the Crazy Diamonds jacket, which definitely doesn't look warm enough for this sort of weather.]

So you've played the game, huh? Well, you can go visit Pallet Town if you want, but you should probably head toward Goldenrod first. Nanami and Saionji are both from your class, right? They're both here.

[Oh right, introductions! That's a thing he should do.]

I'm Mondo Oowada, Super High School Level Biker Gang Leader. Nice to meet you!

[That name rings a bell right away.]

Oh, you're one of the people that picked up Saionji, aren't you? She told me that you and Ishimaru were coming to get her. Thanks for doing that.

[He kind of wishes that he had gotten to Cherrygrove in time to get a ride too, but oh well.]

I'll join you guys in Goldenrod as soon as I can. Nanami said that she'd try to arrange a ride for me, but if she can't then I guess I'll just have to walk there.

[It'll probably suck since it's winter and he's never even gone camping before in his entire life, but he'll do it if picking him up would cause too much trouble for the others.]

Yeah, that's right! And it's no problem, she looked like she could use a hand.

Try getting to Cherrygrove first and we'll see if we can send someone to pick you up. I think some of the others have things that can use Fly, but I ain't totally sure about that. If all else fails, Ishimaru and I can come pick you up after we've rested a bit.

[Oops, volunteering Ishimaru for another trip?? Isn't he a great brother?]

[Mondo is clearly the best brother ever. But oops, Hinata should probably inform him of the other SHSL with him, too...]

Oh, um, if you're going to be heading out here again then I should let you know that I actually have another classmate with me, too... He hasn't posted to the network yet, but his name is Gundam Tanaka, Super High School Level Animal Breeder. So he's going to need a ride, too...

[He hopes that won't be too much of a problem.]

Super High School Level Animal Breeder? Holy shit, he'll fit right in here then!

[Mondo laughs at that and folds his arms up behind his head. He's still a little sore from flying for so long, but if these are Nanami and Saionji's classmates, he's practically obligated to help them out.

...Besides, they'd be stuck in the snow otherwise and that would just suck.]

I need to check with my brother to see if he's got enough flying Pokémon, but if we can't come get you, we'll arrange for someone else to!

Yeah, he's in his glory right now. But anyway, thank you so much for this. We'll just wait in Cherrygrove for the time being.
