Part 1: Elkhorn Town — the start

Professor Maple hands you Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle, and your rival takes the one that beats it. Route 1 leads to Pavona Village and Route 2 to Pectinia City. Nothing is locked behind a badge yet, and no wild Pokémon scales to your team.

Elkhorn Town — the start opens 5 areas. There are 20 trainers standing in them. The fights at this checkpoint are Rival (fight 1) — if you chose Squirtle, Rival (fight 1) — if you chose Bulbasaur, Rival (fight 1) — if you chose Charmander, and 3 more.
