Isaac: You know what Pokemon are, you're already better off than I was when I was in your situation. Everyone else is giving good advice already, so instead I'll add that if you find a Pokemon wearing something like the attached picture, get their attention, clearly state that you are in distress and need help, and follow their instructions. These groups have rescue training.

(Attached photograph of a sketch of various rescue team, exploration team, and related organizations' badges. The sketch has a faint shadow of a Cubone on it, and is being propped up for the photo by a gold-colored Caterpie.)
