Frank and Owen walk into the store. It's roughly divided into two major sections—they aren't explicitly labeled as "men's" and "women's", but there's a distinct skew in what sex of model is depicted wearing which types of clothing. There are further rough divisions on each side into more professional and more casual items.

Kyeo would just like to look normal please. In relatively muted colors.

Frank and Owen can point him at appropriate items!

And he will - try them on, is that the done thing?

Yep! There are changing rooms; they lock from the inside and have mirrors in them, and hooks on which to hang clothes.

In that case he will look normal in clothes that fit.

Nice! How many sets of clothes does he grab?

"How many outfits is it typical to own? I don't know what the laundry situation is."

"For a fully established adult with their own place it can be around twenty or thirty! Laundry is quick and cheap—about two hours total to wash and dry, a free perk at some apartments and only 100 or 200 Poke when paid—so someone living alone does it about once a week. If I were you I might go for six or seven outfits, lets you wear one a day and leaves room for your closet to grow as you find more stuff you like."

That at least presumably reduces wear and tear on the outfits so they'll last longer. Kyeo nods, uncomfortably does some mental arithmetic, and picks out seven outfits.

"Nice!" he says, and gives a thumbs up.

"You can store stuff in virtual reality just like you can store Pokemon, so if you travel to another city you don't have to worry about lugging them around," says Frank.

"...that's so useful, how does that work?"

"You mean how it works on the physics level or how to use it? I don't really understand the physics, it's the same thing that lets us store Pokemon in virtual reality. How you use it is you sign up for an item storage service and pay a monthly fee; good ones are 100 to 500 Poke a month depending on how much stuff you need to store, more than that and someone's probably scamming you. In some countries there's a free one run by the government but not in Unova; it's a less popular thing here because people tend to have bigger houses."

"I see. I don't have that many things, but I suppose it is possible I will accumulate them."

"Yeah, or you'll wanna take a trip on the walking routes. That's the usual reason for using it, kids taking their Pokemon journeys will sign up for a year of subscription so they can access their boring, non-battle-relevant things at Pokemon Centers without having to carry them around everywhere."

Nod nod. "I can carry a lot, but enough to feed additional creatures besides myself would add a lot of weight."

Frank nods.

"Do Pokémon generally get along well with each other - or does this not come up as you'd only have one out at a time -"

"Pokemon owned by the same trainer tend to get along well! As long as they're part of a team, the aggressive and competitive instincts can be directed outward."

"I assume there are books on this."

"Yeah, when you get your first from a Professor or Gym Leader they'll hand you a little guide on team management.

—oh, and for what it's worth, you wouldn't necessarily have only one out at a time; Double and Triple Battles are a thing, and some jobs use teams of Pokemon working together."

"I should really figure out if I'm going to have a job that expects me to also have a Pokémon or not soon."

"That's not how it's usually done here? One goes on a Pokemon journey and bonds with one's Pokemon first, and then decides on a job afterwards. Of course since you arrived as an adult you don't exactly have a script to follow."

"Presumably the children going on these journeys know things like what kind of Pokémon they like and where they might travel to, and know less about what the jobs available are like, and so choose the first thing first and approach the second thing already thus committed."
