When you start out you are on a new map and are not ash, you are some kid in the orange islands that are not really islands and are not orange. first you go downstairs and your mom gives you your Pok� Gear wich has a cell phone, a map, a radio, and a clock wich is day time running clock. you go out side to the new Prof. wich is not Oak and he will let you choose one of three NEW starting pok�mon( Hinoa, a fire pokemon wich is real strong,Chiko, a grass pok�mon wich is weak, and Wanin, a water type that is also strong.) now since there are new pok�mon there will be new attacks. down to buisness. you leave the town you are in and cross over some grass( hint: new plant items in areas will have special thingslike nuts that heal your guys )and when you get to the second town go heal your dudes, hopefully you will have grown some levels first since you dont battle your rival at the start. Go to the mart and buy what you need. Then go to the third town where you will find Prof. Oak in a house a little north of there and he will give you your pok�dex wich is called Dex and then he will run off and the guy he was with will heal you and give you a unknown item. Then you leave and the new Prof. wich i will tell you the name of later calls you on your ceel phone and tells you to come back because something has happened at his lab and on your way back you will run into your rival wich will have the stringer pokemon then you but he will be easy to beat if you chose Hinoa the fire one. When you get back to the lab Prof. says a pok�mon was stolen and a cop will be there too. He asks you his name since you ran into him and then you make up a name for him and the cop leaves then on your way out the assistant by the door will give you five pokeballs. As you are leaving the town a guy will walk up from the grass and ask if you know how to catch a pok�mon and then he will walk over to the bushes and a pok�mon apears and he shows you how to catch it. When you get back to the second town you should heal your guys and then proceed to the next town. GYMS: when you get to the third town there is a gym there but you want your guys to be atleast lv. 9 because the trainer is a bird trainer with lv.7 pidgy and lv.9 pidgeotto. If you traded a bellsprout for a onix in the house by the pok�center the match will be easy. Then you are able to go to the fourth town and battle the trainer there but on the way you will run into some trainers and NEW pok�mon. When you get to the cave heal your guys first then go into the cave and you should have HM. Flash before you go in there although you wont need it. When you go in the cave you will meat about six trainers and there will be areas you can't get to right now but pay no attention to them and continue on. Once you are outa the cave you can go to the next town where they is a bug trainer and if you picked Hinoa( Fire ) it will be a breeze.
