[look at this charming man on screen, Johto! look at his sunglasses as they cheerfully reflect the sunlight, and that sunny smile on his face! this is no normal newcomer to Johto, oh no. This is Major Hyuuga of the Barsburg Imperial Army, and he is totally ready to do some major slacking off and not have to worry about paperwork!!]

Hello, Johto! [

[Pffft, at least he's enthusiastic. Good for him.]

Howdy and welcome! Trust me, you'll be sick of walking pretty damn soon. [He says that with a grin, though!]

Don't get too carried away, the nearest town is three days of walking away. And nope, you don't get any paperwork to do, unless you choose to work part-time as a secretary or something.

Only three days? That's not bad at all! [it really is a vacation!] Ah, I suppose I'll have to set up camp at night then, too, won't I?

[his tone shifts a little--] I can't imagine why anyone would choose to do paperwork.

Well, it's to the nearest town, but it's just a few cottages scattered around, really. If you wanna get to some decent civilization, you've gotta give it at least ten days. And yeah, you got it right! You should have everything you need for that in the backpack you got from, uh, "mom".

... 'Cause they're getting paid for it? [DUH.]

What counts as decent civilization here? [he hasn't seen any sign of division by districts, which is mildly confusing to him.]

You never get paid enough for paperwork.

A city with more than six buildings or so? You'd be surprised how tiny most of these are. [To him, even Goldenrod seems small.]

Dunno, I'd never let myself get stuck in a job like that!

I understand! It's built very different from the layout back home.
