[See that slightly grungy-looking guy sitting by the edge of the water? No...no, that's a bush. Over some. There! There's our boy. Amateur photographer and helltown survivor Henry Townshend sits and watches what little evening traffic there is in New Bark.

At his side is his Shellder, artfully named "Clam." Its shell is shut tight.

[Awww man. This guy must be new. Byrne feels pity for you - he remembers just how confused he was when he first showed up in this....WONDERFUL world...]

Sorry to tell you this sir, but you're pretty far from home now. [Like a whole 'nother world away. But he won't say that just yet.]

And that 'talking clam' is your Pokemon, by the way. We're all given one when we first arrive.

'Somewhere safe'? Where are you again?

[He pauses, wondering exactly how to explain it. 8[ He'd been booted onto the road with a bag of junk and a giant clam.]

I'm outside.

[...WHAT A HELPFUL DESCRIPTION, HENRY]

Are you in town still or have you left already?

[THE BEST.]

I'm in a town. A girl on the phone told the people here didn't like us.

[corvus_veritas]

Yeah, the townsfolk there aren't the...nicest of people.

But regardless, you're safe in town from wild Pokemon. And no one there'll randomly attack you, either. They just expect you to start your journey.

I'm so tired of walking.

[Bear it, Henry, it's all a part of becoming a *POKEMON MASTER*]

It won't kill you to stop and rest somewhere, trust me.
