Video/Action for Goldenrod

Soooo...I woke up in Goldenrod City today.

Last time I checked I was in Ecruteak, getting ready for my gym battle. Does anyone know what happened? Did I fall asleep for a week or something? I mean, who would go through all the trouble of bringing me back here anyway? As far as I know, Minnie's still in Olivine....

Right. So, did anyone else wake up somewhere they weren't supposed to be today?

Ohhh, I get it. You're one of those "raised by wolves" guys, right?

No, Grandpa raised me.

Wolves would probably have done a good job though.

So...he raised you out in the wilderness then?

Yeah, in the forest on the mountain.

Well, I guess that explains how you don't know anything.

I know the important stuff. [For his definition of "important". The knowledge required to live in a forest in no way matches the knowledge required to live in a city.]

Well, survival is important, but you should know how to navigate a city too.

...

[Yeah Danny's totally right, as much as Apollo wishes he weren't.]

So how do I navigate a city?

Well....er....well, it'd be easier to teach you in person. Do you have any idea what city you're in?

[He replies a minute later.]

The people here said that I'm on top of the Goldenrod Department Store in Goldenrod City.

Oh, okay, I'm in Goldenrod too. I'll come over there.

Okay. I'll try and get to the ground.

[When Danny arrives, he'll see an uncomfortable-looking kid coming out of the doors, bare feet visible whenever he takes a step. A larger than average Spearow is sitting proudly on one shoulder and a Sentret is peeking out from under his collar on the other shoulder. Apollo's very obviously not happy about being here, though that's not the only thing. Guess whose Pokémon roped him into buying stuff on their way down?]

Wow, you really do look out of place here.

And why's that?

[A bit defensively. He's on edge in this unfamiliar environment. Sentret narrows her eyes suspiciously at Danny and slips farther under Apollo's cloak while Spearow sits up straighter and tries to look cooler.]

Your clothes, for one. One look and most anyone can tell you live on a mountain.

They work for what I need to do.

Uh....sure. Well, anyway, I'm here to teach you the basics.

The basics?

[What the two of them considered "basic" might differ, but Apollo had a few things he wanted to know before even starting on the city. The city at least he could blunder around and try and figure out how to get out of on his own if he absolutely had to.

His arm extended from inside his cloak, holding up a blue and black courier bag.]

Tell me what all the stuff in here is for then.

That's stuff to help you out in the world. You should have a map and a Pokédex in there.

[He moves to a spot nearby where no one's walking and sits down, pulling out the only things he thinks could be what Danny's talking about, his PokéGear (with the "Map" and "Pokédex" buttons clearly labeled - he can't read, as Danny will soon find out), the Trainer Handbook, and the Guide to Pokémon Breeding. He hands them over, then digs around in the bag some more.]

I've figured out what most of this stuff is for, but some of it I don't get. Like these.

[He pulls out three pairs of white briefs.]

If it's so hot out you can't wear more than this then why wear anything at all?

...That's underwear.

...So you're not wearing....ew.

[He doesn't understand Danny's reaction at all.]

Underwear?

[Would Danny prefer dealing with explaining the concept of underwear, or would he rather be the poor Nurse Joy in Cherrygrove who had to explain toilets, sinks, and showers to Apollo, as well as convince him that the waste doesn't go into a big pit ten feet below where he's sleeping?]

[Probably the former.]

Yeah. You wear it so...well, to keep yourself decent.

[This is just getting more and more confusing for him.]

Keep myself decent?

[Is this a bad time to mention that Apollo has no nudity taboo?]

Right. Well, people generally don't like it if you go around with your junk hanging out everywhere.
