In this universe, Pokémon have always coexisted with humans and have always been anthropomorphic, but that doesn’t matter right now.

You're driving through the outskirts of Dallas when you hit a big pothole, the pothole ends up damaging your car and you take it to a mechanic to get it fixed. By the time you arrive, you see a Tinkaton girl step out of the garage. She then speaks up with a distinctive Texan accent. "Heya, partner! Didja wreck somethin' and need it fixed? I can help ya with that!"
