# 0_0 VAR(259, 1): Hey, VAR(259, 0)!
Did you come to study, too?
I went ahead and memorized everything
that was up on the blackboard.
After all, it’s the Trainer’s job to
avoid having their precious Pokémon\fhurt in battle, right?
So, VAR(259, 0), what brings you?
Huh?\fYou’ve got something for me?
# 0_1 VAR(259, 0) delivered the Parcel.
# 0_2 VAR(259, 1): So, what is this...?
Score!
It’s a Town Map!
Huh?!
Why are there two in here?
I like it a lot, but I don’t need two.
Here, VAR(259, 0), you take one!
# 0_3 VAR(259, 1): Hmm...
Well, according to the Town Map,
I guess Oreburgh City is where\fI should be going next.
There’s a Gym, so it’d be perfect for
raising the Pokémon I just caught.
Well, I’m on the road to becoming
the greatest Trainer of all time!
See you around!
# 0_4 You just became a Trainer, did you?
You should look up topics that you’re
not familiar with.
# 0_6 We learned about Pokémon types
today. Umm...
Grass is weak to Fire,
Fire is weak to Water, and\fWater is weak to Grass!
I think that’s how it goes!
# 0_7 Pokémon are smart enough to use
items they’re holding.
But they won’t know what to do with
man-made items like Potions and\fAntidotes.
# 0_8 I wrote an essay in my notebook on
what makes a true Pokémon Trainer.
# 0_9 Doing it is the best way to learn!
Can we get a battle with you?
# 0_10 Go!
My Pokémon, go!
# 0_11 Aww! But battling is the best way
to learn about Pokémon!
# 0_12 It’s hard to win if you don’t have
some Pokémon to choose from.
# 0_13 Whew! You’re really good!
We’ve been studying every day, but
we were no match at all!
You’d be able to use this Technical
Machine properly. Here you go!
# 0_14 A Technical Machine, or TM for short,
contains a Pokémon move.
Using a TM, you can instantly teach
its move to a Pokémon.
But remember--a TM is good for one
use only. Don’t waste it!
# 0_15 I just became friends with my
Pokémon.
I’m not sure if we can do this
properly, but may we battle?
# 0_16 I need to try the things I learned
before I forget them!
# 0_17 Boo!
Where’s your sense of adventure?
Don’t be shy about talking to people
and getting into battles!
# 0_18 Do you think we would have done
better if I used Potions?
# 0_19 We were actually confident that we
would do pretty good.
But I’m completely impressed by how
tough you are.
If you’d like, talk to my friend and
get a Technical Machine from him.
# 0_20 The blackboard lists status changes
that may affect Pokémon in battle.
# 0_21 Which would you like to read about?
# 0_22 If a Pokémon is poisoned, it will
steadily lose HP.
The effects of poison remain after
a battle.
A poisoned Pokémon’s HP will drop
while it is traveling.
Heal a poisoning using an Antidote.
# 0_23 If a Pokémon becomes paralyzed,
its Speed stat drops.
In addition, it may not be able to
move while it is in battle.
Paralysis remains after battle.
Cure it using a Parlyz Heal.
# 0_24 If a Pokémon falls asleep, it will be
unable to attack.
The Pokémon may wake up on its own,
but if a battle ends while it is\fsleeping, it will stay asleep.
Wake it up using an Awakening.
# 0_25 A burn reduces the Attack stat and
steadily reduces the victim’s HP.
A burn lingers after battle.
Cure a burn using a Burn Heal.
# 0_26 If a Pokémon is frozen, it becomes
completely helpless.
The Pokémon may thaw out on its own,
but if a battle ends while it is\ffrozen, it will stay frozen.
Thaw it out using an Ice Heal.
# 0_27 It’s a notebook filled with writing.
Let’s see...
Pokémon are to be caught using
Poké Balls.
Up to six Pokémon can accompany
a Trainer.
A Trainer is someone who catches
Pokémon, raises them, and battles\fwith them.
A Trainer’s mission is to defeat the
strong Trainers who await challengers\fin Pokémon Gyms.
