[ The video shows Rin and his new partner, a Carvanha. There’s some good news and some bad news regarding Rin’s current state of attire. One is that he managed to grab his team jacket before turning up in Johto, so he at least has something other than his swimsuit keeping him decent. The other is that, well. He doesn’t have a shirt on.

Which one of those is good and which is bad is, of course, completely subjective. ]

Is it common for people to show up here without anything decent to wear? Because I actually have no clothes besides what I'm wearing right now.

[ The joys of being a Swimmer class: he has literally no underwear. Or pants, for that matter. Or shoes, either. But he does have a nice new pair of legskins, so it's not... all bad? ]

And some other questions. Is there a decent-sized pool in any of the cities here?

[ There's a slight hesitation before he goes on. ]

And about training Pokémon. I read the handbook, so I get why we have to do it, but... How are you supposed to decide what kind of Pokémon to raise? Or what the best way to raise them is?

Sora? [ Another guy with a unisex name to be dragged into the swimming club, obviously -- ] My name's Rin.

... Have you been here long?

Good to meet you, Rin.

[ Sora taps his chin. thinking. just how long HAS he been here... ]

Getting close to a year and a half now. My best friend has been here for like three years.

-- That long? [ ... ] You must've seen most of this place by now then, right?

I've been everywhere except the blocked off areas. Riku and I travel a lot.

About how long did it take you? To have seen everything there is here, I mean.

Not that long. When you can fly and stuff without badges and your best friend has all the HMs and lets you use them? Kinda saw everything well within a year. We'd take road trips and stuff.

Well, I'm a little lacking in the best friend department, but I'd like to see as much as possible.

[ ... ] You're talking about your friend from before showing up here?

Mmmhmm! Riku and I grew up together on the islands. I'm kinda lucky that he's here too.

But if you want to see stuff then I don't see why you can't travel with us if you want to.
