Arthur's experienced some weird shit over the past year or so. But this kinda tops the list. Luckily, he's already settled a little bit by now; he's gotten the explanations and met his starter, and stopped freaking out quite so much. He's still freaking out a lot internally. He needs to be home! But...apparently he isn't getting there. And he doesn't really want to stay in this weird town with his fake mom, so he's gotta get somewhere else.
He's sitting under a tree just outside town, scanning through maps on his Pokegear in increasing despondency. Everything is so far away! They have to walk there?]
Don't they have cars here?
[oh god he's a MECHANIC he's gonna be so BROKE]

[Well, at least he's made it somewhere with a bed.
Arthur seems pretty exhausted, slumped over at a table in the public area of the inn he managed to drag himself into. But that's a pretty natural state of being for him. The dark circles under his eyes look like they've been there for ages! So he's not actually making to go to sleep or anything just yet - it actually looks like he's methodically disemboweling a Pokeball. There's little screws and stuff scattered all over the table. His Dedenne is guarding most of them, her long tail wrapped around to keep them from rolling onto the floor.]
Oh, wow. [He squints at a thing in the half of the ball he's holding.] I have no idea what any of this is.
