As I started battling in the forest, I found out that Shauna wouldn't be battling alongside me in wild Double Battles which is a bit of a letdown, but having a friend with me is still awesome on its own. I explored the forest, battled all trainers, picked up all non-hidden items and met my friends multiple times. I also captured Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, Caterpie, Weedle, Kakuna and Pikachu. Nice to see that some older Pokemon has gotten new cries, they needed it. Reached the end of the forest and exited it, arrived at Route 3. All of the gang met up here, Serena headed off to the city before everyone else. I stayed on the Route, battled the trainers, picked up some items and captured Azurill, Burmy and Bidoof, maybe something more that I don't remember. I entered the City and for the first time in the game, there was a Pokemon Center. And healing Pokemon goes so fast that it's amazing, it's like a dream but better since it's for real. I explored most of the city, found a clothing store next to the Pokemon Center but didn't buy anything there yet. I met a man inside one of the houses who wanted to trade me a Farfetch'd for my Bunnelby, which I accepted. Reminds me of another trade from another time and space... After the trade, I found out that Farfetch'd can be caught in the wild at Route 22, so maybe it wasn't the best idea... although, it is at level 10 which makes it the second highest-leveled Pokemon I have right now, which might be useful. I explored all of the city except for the Gym, which I will check out next.
