[Today, Kinzo has decided to fend for himself - his Wingull, as always, perched on his shoulder. He's arrived in Cherrygrove, bought himself an Old Rod, and gone fishing - just as an manly man like himself would think to do. After all, that bento can only hold a person for so long. The problem is, he found, after obtaining the fish of his desires...]

There's something wrong with the fish here. [Kinzo's face is one of annoyance with just a bit of shock mixed in. Seriously, Johto? You're denying him a proper meal? Come on now.] You can't eat them. In fact, you can't even break through their scales. No matter what I try, it just...

[Kinzo turns the camera over to a Magikarp, flopping around on the ground next to him. He stares at it, as if wondering if all of this is truly real for the first time since his arrival. Timeline dissaray and magic and monsters are one thing, but he can't eat fish? That's just unreal. The Magikarp, meanwhile, continues to flop. Karp Karp Karp. Magikarp.]

Tell me. Should I just release this "Magikarp" back into the wild or keep it? Its level is a few higher than Gen's is right now, but Gen was still able to beat it down well enough for me to capture it with relative ease.

[The Magikarp flops around on the ground in front of him, as if hurt that her new master would even suggest releasing her. Alas, she cannot properly portray how offended she is. Look at that Magikarp flop.]

... It doesn't even appear to need water to survive. [Kinzo shakes his head, sighing.] What a strange, strange fish.

How does one even eat in this land? If all of the animals are like this, I can't imagine how you all have managed to survive for so long.

What are you, sick? You're not supposed to eat the fucking things.

I haven't found anyone who could tell me where the meat for the food is obtained...

The wildlife of Johto is definitely not edible, however. I would also recommend you to stay away from the berries.

And exactly what is sick about catching a fish and eating it?

I don't know, it's not a fish? It's a Magi-whatever.

Are you... trying to eat that Magikarp?

... It obviously has to come from somewhere, if not from the wildlife.

Berries are hardly filling. What's wrong with them?

I was. That ship has sailed.

It's clearly a fish. The fact the exact species of fish is one we're not used to does not change that.

Yes, that's what I thought, but still nobody has given me a satisfactory answer.

I heard that the berries weren't good for humans, only for pokémon. Someone told me they could cause hallucinations too. You haven't had any right...?

No, it's a Pokemon, not a fish. It's different, y'know?

The difference being?

Perhaps there's a specific species being used for it?

Not yet, and after hearing that, I don't plan to start. [he shakes his head] What have you been eating then?

One of them flops around all useless and shit, and the other--

-- well, I guess Magi-whatevers do that too. Shit, I don't know, you can eat one and can't eat the other?

[he chuckles]

If that's the only difference, there are a lot of fish that aren't fish at all given how poisonous they are.

You can get food in restaurants and you can buy food for your trip in the stores in the city.

As for getting money if you already spent what you had, you can either fight other trainers to get it, or take on jobs since they pay weekly.

Even if it sailed, you shouldn't eat the Pokemon! They have feelings as much as we do.

It ain't like those fish fit into pokeballs or learn how to beat the shit out of each other with specialized attacks.

... I see.

I've only purchased the fishing rod. I had assumed I could obtain rations that way. [he shakes his head] What would you suggest?

Don't cows and pigs as well?

Hoh. And you know this because you'd tried? I know I haven't. I do know the animal kingdom can be particularly brutal all the same.

They do! So you shouldn't use them as food.

The best would be to buy food for your trip, and then get a part time job in Violet.

That would be best so you won't have to wait in Cherrygrove.

I'm afraid I'm not a vegetarian.

Sounds simple enough. I'll have to do that.

How are things on your end? Have you been able to leave yet?

I'm doing well enough.

There is a week of travel between Violet and Cherrygrove, would you like me to meet you halfway?
