One by one, I will save them.

[Audio/Action for the Breeding Centre common area]

[It's late at when Asuma's call goes out to anyone paying attention to their 'Gears. His voice is quieter, just in case.]

Hello. This is Asuma. I just thought I'd put out a message regarding the monument project. Due to the current circumstances, it will be delayed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

However, this also gives me more time to collect names. I've been trying to keep track of names mentioned over the network, but of course there is no way for me to gather them all by myself. If you have some spare time, please consider sending me a message with the names of anyone you knew during your stay here, whether or not they are still here. The goal is to collect as many names as possible and create a monument with all of them, as a mark of those who have passed through these routes!

[There is a pause.]

...That aside, I can't seem to fall asleep tonight. If any of you would like to chat, I'd be grateful. It can be about any topic you would like.

[In the meantime, he will be chilling in the common room! His Bellossom is accompanying him, as well as a very fluffy Mareep. Others around the house are free to simply talk to him in person.]

[Video/Action for Goldenrod]

Looks like we've finally made it! It's been a long trip, but my Pokémon and I have arrived safely in Goldenrod. I regret not being able to take it at a slower pace, but hopefully the time we spend here will make up for it.

[He pauses here, looking thoughtful.]

I've been... curious, to say the least. In the time I've spent here, I've heard of a few different worlds, and they all seem to have differing views on the subject of magic. So now, I would like to bring the question to all of Johto - what is magic like in your world? If it doesn't exist, what is it supposedly like? My own world relies on magic, so I can't help but wonder.

[Later; Action at the Breeding Centre]

[Asuma arrives, Reika the Gloom following him as always. He's mostly just checking the place out for now, but he'll probably make his way to the front desk at some point. Bother? Help the guy out? It's up to you!]

[Video/Action for New Bark]

[The feed starts up, showing a youth with an Oddish in his lap from above. It's pretty clear that he's not used to this sort of technology, particularly when he flips it over a few times before finally holding it in front of him.]

Ah, hello? I hope I'm using this correctly...

I suppose I should start off with an introduction. I am Asuma. I seem to have found myself in a bit of a... predicament. I was on my way to do something important when I found myself waking up here, only to be handed a bag and a small creature before being thrown out of a house I did not recognize by a woman calling herself my mother.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

After that, I did a little walking around town. From what I've heard, this is New Bark, and I'm not the only one in this situation. And after reading my manual, it would appear I'm expected to become a Pokémon breeder - though I'll admit, I've never been given a job like that before.

Which brings me to now. Is there any chance one of you kind people could offer me any tips on where to go from here?

You have my thanks in advance.

[And after some fiddling with the 'Gear, he eventually manages to end the feed.]
