Touring Sandgem Town
Once you reach Sandgem Town, Prof. Rowan's kid will greet you and take you inside the lab. Just as you are going to enter the lab, your friend came out and hit you. Your friend will say that Prof. Rowan isn't as scary as he thought. He then sped off. Then head inside and talk to Prof. Rowan. Prof. Rowan will ask you to complete the encylopedia Pokédex and if you refuse. He will reply "..." several times until you agrees. Prof. Rowan's kid will be holding a Pokémon that you and your friend did not choose. If you and your rival choose Turtwig and Chimchar, he/she will choose Piplup.



Head outside the lab and the Prof. Rowan's kid will show you around the town. He/She will show you the Pokémon Center and the Pokémon Mart. Then she tell you to inform your Mum that you are going out for an adventure to complete the Pokédex. Then he/she will run away to Route 202. You must head back to Twinleaf Town to tell your Mum because the kid don't allow you to pass Route 202.
