# 0_0 You’re a rookie Trainer, aren’t you?
I can tell!
That’s OK! Everyone is a rookie
at some point!
If you’d like, I can teach you a
few things.\fOK, then! Follow me!
# 0_1 Ohh... I’m sorry.
I forgot that you weren’t wearing the\fRunning Shoes!
I’ll try to go as slow as possible, so
try keeping up!
# 0_2 This is a Pokémon Center. They heal
your Pokémon in no time at all.
You’ll be relying on them a lot, so
you better learn about them.
# 0_3 This is a Pokémon Mart.
They sell Poké Balls for catching wild\fPokémon and other useful items.
# 0_4 Route 30 is out this way.
Trainers will be battling their
Pokémon there.
If you go a little farther,
you’ll see Mr. Pokémon’s House.
# 0_5 This is the sea, as you can see.
Some Pokémon are found only in water.
# 0_6 Here...
It’s my house!
For your effort keeping up with me,
I’ll give you my Running Shoes!\fThey’re still warm!
...
...
Got you, didn’t I?
Don’t worry, these are brand new!
# 0_7 VAR(259, 0, 0) received
the Running Shoes from the Guide Gent!
# 0_8 The instructions read,
“Touch the Sprint Button on the\fTouch Screen to sprint.”
It also says,
“Hold the B Button down to sprint.”
# 0_9 ...Hffp... Hffp...
I made it...
I forgot about one thing.
This is another token from me!
Take it.
# 0_10 The Guide Gent loaded the Map Card
on VAR(259, 0, 0)’s Pokégear!
# 0_11 VAR(259, 0, 0)’s Pokégear
can now show the Town Map!
# 0_12 Select the Pokégear on the
Touch Screen and then select\fthe Town Map icon.
You’ll see the map of the region
you’re currently in!
The Pokégear becomes more useful as
you add Cards.
I wish you luck on your journey!
# 0_13 ...
You got a Pokémon at the Lab.
What a waste.
That’s a Pokémon that’s too good for
a wimp like you.
...
Don’t you get what I’m saying?
Well, I too have a good Pokémon.
I’ll show you what I mean!
# 0_14 ...
Do you want to know who I am?
...
I’m going to be the world’s greatest
Pokémon Trainer.
# 0_15 Give it back!
That’s my Trainer Card!
Oh no!
You saw my name...
# 0_16 Did you talk to the old man by the
Pokémon Center?
He’ll put a Map of Johto on your
Pokégear.
# 0_17 When you’re with Pokémon,
going anywhere is fun.
# 0_18 Mr. Pokémon’s house is still farther
up ahead.
You could use the Running Shoes if
you had a pair.
But beware of wild Pokémon and
Trainers!
When you run, the noise will
attract them.
# 0_19 I battled the Trainers on the road.
My Pokémon lost.
They’re a mess! I must take them to
a Pokémon Center.
# 0_20 A Pokémon I caught had an item.
I think it’s Mystic Water.
I don’t need it, so do you want it?
# 0_21 Back to fishing for me, then.
# 0_22 You don’t have room for this.
