>>21339583First trainer in the game, has a level 3 Rattata that I somehow manage to beat. Further down Route 2, (after procuring a Potion on the ground)
we see two shady people staring at a pair of trees. They mutter about something running inside and they turn to yell at DICKS, then they disappear into the trees.
Inside is a foggy forest, with several decent bug Pokemon. I ran into a wild level 6 Burmy that kept using Protect; it succeeded four times in a row before failing, which doesn't bode well for the future of this game.
After fighting a couple trainers to pick up a Poke Ball, circling back around leads to another cutscene. Apparently the evil team is looking for Celebi because no evil team would be complete without the goal of capturing legendaries in mind. Celebi has left the forest, and a boy pops out of the shrine with only the phrase "............"; the grunts are understandably upset and one attacks me. Grunts in this game seem to have names, and the use of Starly may mean that this team (who reveals themselves as Team HUNTER) has a diverse group of Pokemon. They leave and the boy begins to talk.
Team:
Turtwig (LOL A'TUIN), 7
Ekans (Solid (I wish I named it Dilos)), 7
Shinx (TheEdgehog), 6
