Hiya Xanntha14~
This is definitely the perfect place for what you're looking for!~
PC is a quite friendly place cough, cough once you learn how to get around it's corners and twists that was an understatement!
As Hikari said, the Battle Center is perfect for you. You might wanna immerse yourself first in the PC atmosphere first, (the Other Chat would be awesome for that~) because that's always important, right?
I hope to see you around often~
Feel free to send me a PM or a VM whenever you feel lonely. :)
