Huh? Oh. You want another berry too, Nomad? Ok. [If anyone will realise once they tune in their Poke Gear to Otacon's signal is that he's feeding his Pokémon berries. There is a flutter of wings, as a Pidgey flies up onto Otacon's left shoulder and takes a peck at a Pecha berry in his hand. The engineer looks around for Snake, as he's travelling with his friend right now. They're in Cherrygrove City and Otacon is pretty excited about it all. New places are fun, right? The old soldier was probably having a smoke somewhere nearby, as he often did.]

You like that, Nomad? I know you don't eat as much as Piplup but you like berries too, don't you? [He offered his new Pokémon a smile and saw the bird Pokémon nod at him once. Piplup just stares and places his wings onto his hips. He's still wary about the new arrival, as Otacon only just caught Nomad on his way out of New Bark Town.

You can have some too, Piplup. But you'll have to wait your turn, ok? Nomad is new and I don't want him scared off by your temper. [The engineer pats Piplup's head and receives a nod but nothing else.]

As for battling. If anyone wants to battle with me I'll be more than happy to give one to any trainer. My level is between five and eight so I am pretty novice right now. Still, a challenge is what my Pokémon love. [Piplup pops his head into the screen, as he usually does, and waves.]

[The feed snaps on to reveal Otacon and Piplup just outside of New Bark Town. On the way to Cherrygrove City. They are sitting just by some long grass and a few berry trees.]

Battling with Pokémon? I've been here for over a week now and I'd really like to get into this whole battling other Pokémon thing. The only thing that's putting me off is, well, using Pokémon for violence. Battling involves using Pokémon like tools and I'm not sure if I can do that. I don't abide violence, as there are always other ways to obtain goals, right?

Does it hurt the Pokémon at all? [He sighed and glanced down at his Piplup, who was feasting itself on some fresh Oran berries. Otacon pushed his glasses up onto his nose, as he swallowed.]

I mean, if I am going about this all the wrong way then please correct me. It's just....I don't like the feeling of using the Pokémon to hurt one another. It seems rather barbaric to me. If anyone is willing, I'd much like someone to show me how it actually happens, if possible. Or explain it to me. Perhaps, I'm just seeing the whole thing in the wrong light.

[The whole violence thing is having a negative effect on him. He loves Piplup and wouldn't want him hurt at all. The penguin is actually really strong, Otacon. Yet, he doesn't know it yet.]
