"Well..." Seth began, "I came from the Unova region, on a cargo boat carrying shipments of stones and medicine. My foster mother, however, did not want to come, and made a point of not wanting to come. She never actually explained why. But anyway, ever since I was about eight years old I had wanted to visit here. I was obsessively interested in the history and culture of all the towns and etc. When my mum told me that I would be going on a journey here, not a single complaint escaped my lips. Here, it is much less...hustling; which is good. In Unova, you are always on your toes, and everything is overloaded and busy, which caused many of my...'episodes.' Here in Ikora, it is much more tranquil, which I appreciate. As for Zach here..." He gave the osawott a slight, friendly nudge on it's chin. "I was about to choose zizagoon for my first pokemon, but on my way there, as I stopped by the beach, I saw an oshawott, severely injured in it's pelvic area. As I picked it up and ran to the pokemon center, I noticed that it looked a bit odd, but I at first brushed it off as my abnormally vivid imagination. Once it was healed, the nurse signaled me to a quiet corner where no one else would hear what she was saying. She then told me that I had one of the rarest pokemon in the world; a shiny oshawott. Forgetting completely forgetting about the zigzagoon, I trotted back home, overwhelmingly happy with my new companion. And here I am now...without a single regret." He looked at Jacob, and then at Hester. "And I have many more friends here than I have ever had before."
