[Gordon’s in Violet City finally, but that might be hard to tell at first. His yelling’s probably doing a good job of covering up the background music.]

THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING ELSE. I HAD HEARD THESE THINGS COME FROM EGGS, BUT I HADN’T SEEN IT HAPPEN UNTIL JUST NOW. I’M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS OR WHY THIS EGG WAS DELIVERED TO ME, BUT IT HATCHED.

[In trying to work the Gear, he might’ve ordered an egg under the Breeding Centre’s newbie deal. He knows buttons were pushed and yelling happened, and then eventually an egg was delivered, but the specifics of the conversation are mostly a mystery to Gordon.]

I KNOW IT’S NOT A CAT. IT HAS BLONDE HAIR, AND A PURPLE FACE. ALSO IT SEEMS TO FALL DOWN A LOT. IT DOESN’T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE OTHER POKEMON I HAVE. DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A WHISMUR OR A KRICKETOT.

[He’s been working with the pokédex while out on Route 30. Thankfully, it has text display, so he was able to actually find out what his Pokémon are called.]

I WONDER IF THAT ENCYCLOPEDIA HAS INFORMATION ON THIS THING.

[The pokédex unfortunately has the read aloud function enabled, so Smoochum’s entry is getting broadcast across the PokéGear Connect at maximum volume.]

IT DOES. IT JUST HATCHED BUT EVERYTHING IS IN HERE. THAT’S AMAZING!

[And then quiet. For a couple of minutes at least.]

WOW! DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT? A BUNCH OF BIRDS JUST FLEW BY IN FORMATION. KINDA REMINDS ME OF THE BLUE ANGELS. WHICH ALSO REMINDS ME THAT I NEED TO CALL A CAB. NOT NOW THOUGH. I’VE TAKEN A TEMPORARY JOB IN THE CITY, SO THAT COMES FIRST. BUT SOON.

[He’s just going to assume that the right people will understand that and end the call there. Not to worry, he’s not actually expecting a black and yellow taxi to show up.]

ALSO, MADE IT TO TOWN LAST NIGHT, REID. TOOK ME TEN DAYS TO GET HERE.

[He got turned around a few times.]

I DON’T KNOW IF THAT’S HOW LONG IT NORMALLY TAKES OR NOT.

[And that’s the end of the feed!]

[Oh hi Johto. It’s been a while since Gordon’s called in to let everyone know what he’s been up to, hasn’t it? Not to worry! Today, he’s going to let everyone know everything he’s been doing.]

CALLING IN TO REPORT A NUMBER OF THINGS. ONE, SINCE THE WEATHER’S FINALLY CLEARED UP, I’M HEADING OUT AGAIN ALONG WHAT THE SIGN POST BACK THERE REFERRED TO AS ROUTE 30. I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH SUPPLIES TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT TOWN. IF I DON’T, I GUESS I’LL HAVE TO MAKE DUE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A LONG WALK BACK TO THE STORE.

SECOND, RAN INTO A YOUNG MAN ON THIS ROUTE BY THE NAME OF JOEY. HIS POKEMON IS APPARENTLY SOME SORT OF RAT. I THINK HE SAID IT WAS A RATTAT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. APPARENTLY IT’S IN THE TOP PERCENTAGE OF ALL RATTATS. NOT SURE HOW THAT WORKS, BUT THAT’S WHAT HE SAID. WONDER WHAT PERCENTAGE OF POKEMON THE ONE I HAVE IS IN.

[He’s still not actually sure what Whismur is called.]

HOW DO YOU FIGURE THAT OUT? ALSO, NOT SURE IF THAT'S THE JOE COOPER WAS REFERRING TO, BUT IT'S THE ONLY JOE I'VE MET SO FAR.

THIRD, I’VE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE A WESTERN UNION HERE. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE CLOSEST ONE IS OR WHAT THE NEAREST EQUIVALENT IS?

AND FOURTH, TWICE NOW MY PHONE HAS DISPLAYED SOMETHING CALLED KANTO DISCOVERY TRAIL. WHAT IS IT AND WHY DO THE POKEMON ON IT KEEP FAINTING FROM VARIOUS DISEASES? IS IT A GAME? OR IS IT SOME SORT OF GUIDE ON HOW GET THROUGH THIS PLACE?

[Guess who accidentally found the apps section of the Gear?]
