Okay, so battling's a big deal and everything here. I still think that's pretty messed up, but what do I know about Pokemon? Not much, I only been here so many months. I haven't really thrown myself into it, I just do friendly stuff to keep my Pokemon happy and healthy. But I'm starting to get into it.

[Jimmy's a competitive guy, and after drying out, the Battling Bug's starting to grip him hard. But he knows damn well that two Pokemon does not a sleek battling team make.]

So I'm wondering how you build up a solid team, you know? I've been going over my 'gear all day, but I don't even know where to start. How do you know what other kinds of Pokemon you ought to get? How tough is it taming a wild Pokemon? My two weren't wild. Do wild caught Pokemon do better in battles, or a Pokemon hatched and raised to be part of a specific team?

[He throws up his hands and shakes his head at the 'gear screen.]

I'm totally friggin' lost.

What do they even do, besides let me travel easier?

I don't understand Pokemon at all.

Give you more moves to use against your opponents. And Fly would be useful if you ever wanted to visit a friend. So is Surf.

I just know that mine are like family to me. They protect me as I protect them.

Yeah, Omi and me are buddies.

You'd have to go to Violet to get the badge for Fly. Ecruteak for the badge to Surf. Easiest way is to ask someone to take you there if you want to do it quickly. But I recommend getting a much stronger team.

Good. He'll watch your back.
