[The feed on the PokeGear starts off with a screen full of puppyface, and then a nice view of teeth and a pink tongue as the Growlithe picks it up in his mouth.
A man's voice can be heard offscreen.]
H-hey! Stay out of that please, I don't know what that's--
--Growl, growl!
[The Growlithe drops the device at his feet and stares up at the man,

[Congrats, Hughes, you're looking at a boy barely 10, with bright pink hair. An Igglybuff is bouncing on his head happily.]
The dog's yours, kuyo!

--but it's a kid, and Hughes forces himself to smile weakly while his brain works on processing things in the background.]
Hello there.
...Ah, how do you know this dog is mine? I don't think I've ever seen it before...
[Rubs at his neck a little sheepishly.]

[The Igglybuff puffs out her chest, making a single, sweet note.]
Your dog's your friend, pyaa!

Everyone gets one, then?

[The background behind the boy probably looks really familiar... in fact, if Hughes looks towards the way out, he'll see Kirby right there.]
But it's confusing here, poyo. A lady said she was my mother, pyaa, and I don't have a mother. My Warp Star also doesn't work, kuyo, and nobody knows where Pop Star is.

Confusing is about right. [Slight chuckle.]
[...You don't have a mother? D: Okay, he is officially going to be watching out for you now.]
It sounds like the strange woman claiming to be our mother is pretty common around here, though. [It's the third time he's heard about it now.]
[But hey...that background does look familiar. Looks up. Blinks. Welp. That was unexpected. He walks up to where the little boy is, pocketing the device and tapping against his shoulder.]
Well, hello there. [Raises a hand in a wave.]

Hiii! Buff!

CUTE KID SENSES ARE TINGLING. No really, he has to resist the immediate urge to pick him up and hug him, and settles for some hair ruffling, kneeling down on one knee so he can be at eye level with him. Growlithe barks eagerly and sniffs at the boy's shoes, wagging his tail.]
What's your name, kid?

Chuchu peers down at the Growlithe curiously, tilting her head. THIS IS A NEW POKEMON, WHAT COULD IT BE.]
What's yours?

Growlithe tilts his head as well, almost in response, and its nose wrinkles slightly as if he's trying to sniff the Igglybuff from the top of Kirby's head.]
Hughes. [Grins, quite a bit more cheerfully than he has thus far since arriving.] Maes Hughes.

[His pronunciation is perfect, and he giggles again.]
It's nice to meet you, pyaa!

[He then turns, and looks out toward the road ahead.]
Guess there's nothing else to do here, but hit the road, huh?

Looks like, kuyo. I didn't really find anything else here, aiyaa.
