Events

Catching a Pokémon

Dawn/Lucas teaching Lucas/Dawn how to catch a Pokémon.

After you told your Mum about your adventure, head to Route 202 and Dawn/Lucas will teach you how to catch a Pokémon. After that, he/she will give you 5 Poké Balls for free. You can now catch your favourite Pokémon and start collecting it to make a strong team!

First Trainer Encounter

Lucas encountering his first trainer.

You will encounter your first trainer at Route 202. You can avoid those trainers, but it is best to battle them so your Pokémon can earn some experience points (while you get some cash).
