# 0_0 Dawn: VAR(259, 1)?!
Did you tell your family that you’re
helping the professor?
...You didn’t, did you?
I know that you’re really eager to
see all kinds of Pokémon.
But you shouldn’t make your mom
worry that you’ve disappeared.
# 0_1 Dawn: You should go tell your family
that you’re helping the professor.
The faster the better, too.
# 0_2 Dawn: Oh, that’s right!
VAR(259, 1), I haven’t shown you
how to catch a Pokémon.
I’ll demonstrate how to catch
one, so just watch me, OK?
# 0_3 Dawn: Giggle...
See? Isn’t it neat?
Actually, it’s better to lower your
target’s HP more than I did.
It’s important to get the Pokémon’s
HP down as low as possible.
This is because a healthy Pokémon
is very difficult to catch.
Oh, Pokémon also get easier to catch
if you make them sleep or something\fby using a Pokémon’s move.
OK, VAR(259, 0), to get you
started, I’ll give you five\fPoké Balls!
# 0_4 If you have lots of Pokémon with you,
it will be safer on long trips.
Plus, it will be a lot more fun
having your Pokémon friends along.
OK, I need to get going.
Bye, now!
# 0_5 Lucas: VAR(259, 1)?!
Did you tell your family that you’re
helping the professor?
...I bet you didn’t, did you?
I know that you’re eager to
see all kinds of Pokémon.
But you shouldn’t make your mom
worry that you’ve upped and left.
# 0_6 Lucas: Why don’t you go tell your
family that the professor asked for\fyour help?
You should do it right away.
# 0_7 Lucas: VAR(259, 1), do you know
how to catch a Pokémon?
I’ll demonstrate how to catch
one, so just watch, OK?
# 0_8 Lucas: And that’s how it’s done.
Actually, I should have lowered the
target’s HP some more.
Yup, the important thing is to lower
the Pokémon’s HP as much as possible.
See, a healthy Pokémon isn’t easy to
catch.
Oh, yeah. They also get easier to
catch if you make one of your\fPokémon put them to sleep or such.
Here, VAR(259, 0), I’ll give you
five Poké Balls to get you started.
# 0_9 If you have lots of Pokémon with you,
you’ll be able to travel farther.
That way, you’ll have a better shot
at meeting more Pokémon.
See you around!
# 0_10 Some Pokémon only appear in the
morning. Some only come out at night.
I’m going to keep waiting right here
till I’ve seen every last one of ’em!
