I finally entered the Pokemon Fan Club and met the Pokemon Fan Club Chairman who gave out an Effort Ribbon, then I showed a small Pokemon to the man by the Pokemon Center and received a Poke Doll. I headed out and found a Leaf Stone near mushrooms as I wandered around outside a cafe. I visited that cafe afterwards and spoke to customers inside and they showed me Pokemon that were then registered in my Pokedex. I headed out after that and I wanted to visit the Poke Ball Factory, but I couldn't enter it yet. I picked up some items outside and then I headed over to the Laverre City Gym because I wanted to start battling against the Gym trainers. I stepped into the Gym and I saved before battling.
