=====================================
2d. Littleroot Town, Torchic, and May
=====================================
The game starts with you in the back of your moving van. Looks like you're
the new kid in town. When the truck stops, hop off and your mother greets you.
She takes you inside and tells you to set the clock your father gave you as a
gift. Do so, and head back downstairs. You're a nice kid, so go visit the
neighbors. May's mother greets you upon entry. Head upstairs and speak to May.
May is nice to you, unlike previous rivals, although Brendan, the rival if you
play as a female, seems to have a hint of Gary in him. May's main goal is to
fill the Pokedex, with training on the side. She'll leave after you talk to
her. Leave her house and leave town. Professor Birch is in danger from
a..uh..fearsome? level 2 Poochyena, so it's up to you to "save" him. Walk to
his bag and press A. Pick your starter. This is everyone's evolution line:
Treecko(Grass) -> Grovyle(Grass) -> Sceptile (Grass)
Torchic(Fire) -> Combusken(Fire/Fighting) -> Blaziken (Fire/Fighting)
Mudkip(Water) -> Marshtomp(Water/Ground) -> Swampert(Water/Ground)
All the starters evolve at level 16, then again at 36. Treecko gives you the
hardest game, as you get no Pokemon that can type match the Magnemite-infested
Mauville Gym. Torchic gets beaten easily by the first Gym, but will absolutely
decimate the Elite Four and the Champion if given the right moves. Mudkip is
neutral. I picked Torchic for my first game, Treecko for my second, Torchic
again for my third, and Mudkip for game #4. Pick your Pokemon, then beat on the
doggy. Professor Birch thanks you, takes you to his lab and gives you the
Pokemon that you picked. He'll tell you that May's on Route 103 collecting
data.
***Note: Capturing a Shroomish, evolving it to Breloom, and teaching it Mach
Punch can help you defeat the Mauville Gym if you chose Treecko. Thanks to
Shroom of the Edge for this tip.
==========================
2e. Welcome to Oldale Town
==========================
Ah, Oldale Town. Absolutely nothing of importance here. You can talk to the man
dressed in white to receive a Potion. Continue upwards to Route 103. There are
a few Trainers here, so be sure to level your starter to around level 7 or 8
before speaking to May.

This battle requires minimal strategy. You should win easily. After the fight,
May heads back to Littleroot Town. You should do the same. Upon arrival,
Professor Birch gives you a Pokedex and May gives you five Poke Balls. Try and
leave town, and Mom stops you in order to give you the Running Shoes. Hold B
and you will run faster. Be careful, because if you run near a Trainer in the
grass, he or she will look at you and you won't be able to sneak past. Head
left when you reach Oldale until you get to Petalburg City.

2g. Welcome to Petalburg City
=============================
The very first (and only) thing you can do in this town is try to head left out
of the town. Someone stops you and tells you that all new rainers check out if
there's a Gym in town upon arrival. Being the nice chap he is, he does just
this for you. Head inside, and lo and behold, it's your father. Turns out he's
a Gym Leader. After speaking to you, a boy named Wally enters.
==============
2h. Meet Wally
==============
Wally's a new Trainer from Petalburg City. Asking your father for help, your
father turns him to you to teach him how to capture Pokemon. Your father lends
Wally a Zigzagoon help him catch a Pokemon. Wally leads you just outside the
city, where he encounters a Ralts. Watch Wally capture the Ralts, then head
back to the Gym. Wally returns the Zigzagoon and leaves happily. If you were to
battle your father at your current state (assuming your levels right now are
less than 30), you'd be smoked. You can't even access the Trainers yet. Head
left out of Petalburg and follow the patch to Petalburg Woods.
