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.

Depending where you are, there might be a library or a Trainer's School that's willing to help out. I think they must be used to outsiders by now.

A Trainer's School? That sounds useful...

I think so. I have a vague familiarity to this thing due to Pokemon being a video game in my world, though I never paid it much mind.

Right.

[Jimmy still doesn't really get video games.]

I think I'll look into the Trainer School thing. My ma always said I was a good student!

[It's okay, Jimmy. He's used to that now.]

Did she? What sort of subjects were your favorite?

There wasn't really subjects or anything, I didn't go to school. My ma taught taught me most stuff.

Ah, I see. I'm a programmer myself, though I do like history. But I did go to school.

You work in television?

Computers, actually. I take it you're not from a time where computers are widespread?
