001 - video/action for route 1

[fullscale]

O-ow, please! Someone help!

[Welp, this sure is an accidental post - in his urgency, Shindou seems to have dropped his Xtransceiver! ... And unfortunately, his Whismur is just looking on with dismay, worry, and fear.

If you go into the tall grass, of course wild Pokémon are going to jump out at you. I don't think most of them will try to chomp on you, though...

You only just arrived...where?

[Leaning towards the screen to eye you closer, senpai.]
