He had a Pokémon of his own, and one that, when fully grown, would become a great big dragon. The world would be at his fingertips. Though he could not fly high on such a behemoth, he could fly far, and more importantly, fast. As he was giving Ares a gentle rub on the head after setting the Charmander down, a prompt scrolled across the top of his HUD. At the same time, a new location was marked on his map: Information> Obtained PARCEL x 1. New objective: Deliver PARCEL to its rightful owner. The blonde, spiky-haired man rolled his eyes. Did the recipient have to be clear on the other side of town? Why couldn't he just have a Ponyta for a starter? That would have made this task a lot easier. And faster. Either way, he started walking straight, orienting the mini-map's destination marker directly at the top of the rotating compass. As he would find out, there would be no straight path from the lab to his destination. Rose Garden

Rose frowned, the cardboard box dripping goop on the ground as she held it still. What did Bunya put in here? It was like she poured very sticky soup in the box! Except, it also seemed like it growled at her when she wasn't paying attention. She really did not like this box. Shuddering, goosebumps spread across her skin. Rose instinctively went to drop it, only for her sticky fingers to keep it caught to her hand. Oops. "Okay Rosie," She spoke to herself, mumbling as she looked at the map. "Where are we going to get rid of the goop box?" It growled again, and this time Rose just frowned. "You quit that! You're not gonna get there any faster, goop!" The box grew silent again, and she sighed. The little girl supposed it was time to get going. Her little beetle wings fluttered furiously, hovering her off the ground by just barely an inch as she began to move. Only to immediately see someone else with a box in their hands too. "Hey! Hey!" Rose immediately giggled, her feet plopping straight down on the floor as she held up her gross, dripping goo box to the man in front of her. "You're delivering the package too, yeah? Everyone does this at some point! I just, forgot. Whoops!"

There was nothing special about the parcel he had been assigned to take to the destination; perhaps it was supplies. "Wow, you really got the short end of the stick, didn't you?" he asked after Rose got his attention. "Yep! It's free quest experience. And you need all the experience you can get; I hear after the tutorial area, the early game spawns can be awful to deal with until you gain a few levels." "Name's Josh, aspiring Pokémon racer," he introduced himself, not knowing if Rose had player-name tooltips on. "And this is Ares," he introduced the feisty Charmander. "This is boring! When are we gonna go to Route 1 so I can roast some bugs alive?" Ares quipped. "Soon enough," Josh sternly answered. "I'd rather not have my introduction to the game be a trip through the Everworld. Once I feel comfortable taking you out there, we'll go." Rose Garden

She frowned, just laughing quietly despite that. It continued to drip goop on the ground, and the contact with the grass made this horrific smell that nearly made her gag. "I'm Rose, and-" She just slowly grew quiet. Her eyes would slowly shift over to Ares, the Charmander. Her frown only deepened, and her little beetle wings suddenly fluttered furiously behind her. "Hey! Those buggies are my friends! Don't go killing them, or I'll cover you in goo! Only bad guys!" Rose threateningly held the box out, more goop slopping down to the ground in a solid thunk. "Anyways!" Her attention would shift right back to Josh. "I've been playing a long time! I've walked through town so often! It's like, the back of my hand!" She paused, suddenly wiping goo off her hand and then nodding. "Just follow me, Mr. Racer Man, Sir! I looked at my map, and I know where we gotta go!" Rose would seemingly just casually kick off her shoes and seemingly toss them straight over the fence of the park. She'd step forwards, placing her bare feet against the fence and somehow stick straight to it as she walked right up and over. "Come on!" She'd giggle, suddenly dropping out of sight into the park.

The noise the fluttering wings made, if any, would have caused he and his Pokémon to flinch, drowning out any answer they wanted to give until the wingbeats stopped. Pinching his nose, Josh stepped in front of his energetic Charmander. "I'b sorry about dat," the young man tried to speak with his nose shut. "He's looking for oppodedts he cad win agaidst. He's really ubset he cad't seeb to win at all." The newcomer tried to smile the best he could, appreciative of the guide. Once the smell wasn't quite so bad, he let go of his nose. "I'll tag along. Would be great having a second to help learn the town. I'm sure I'll be back here often, too. Mom's nagging me to check in periodically with her." Josh raised an eyebrow when Rose started walking across the wilds barefoot, but didn't say anything about it. He had his weird quirks, too; when he got a Pokémon capable of it, he would ride anywhere the game permitted him to, even if it was for short distances. "Coming!" Josh chirped back, keeping some distance and trying to stay upwind to not have to deal with that awful smell as much. Rose Garden
