PREPARE FOR TROUBLE?

I'm just trying to find my way out from Petalburg Woods when I see this fellow in fancy clothes and comes to ask me if I've seen any Shroomish around. NO I HAVE NOT Òó !!! I wish I had! Then, A seconde guy in his pirate clothes shows up and threatens to rob the first one. The guy freakes out like a little girl and asks for my help. I battled the pirate guy and he started babbling about Team Aqua and some other business in Rustboro City . Is it becoming popular to put up gangs? 'Cause that guy was actually wearing a strange symbol... Well, at least the pirate outfit is better than spacesuits like those from Team Galactic. I just hope they cause less trouble. The guy in his fancy clothes works for a big company in Hoenn, The Devon Corporation. He actually gave me a greatball for helping him.


I was finally out of the woods and in Rustboro City, where I'm supposed to have my first gym battle! The city is quite big, not as modern as Jubilife was, but at least looks more like a city than anything I've seen in Hoenn so far. They also have a trainer school. I went there just to check it out and ended up scoring me a Quick Claw. Quite useful.
I wanted to do some more grinding before taking on the gym, so we went up to Route 116, and maybe catch another pokemon. I battled a few trainers and actually caught a weird looking fellow, Lv.6 Nincada ♂.  Welcome Kouga to the team!

We found a small cave at the end of the route. It looked like they're trying to do a Tunnel... I talked to some workers on the outside and they said they had to stop it because it was disturbing the wild pokemon. Those guys in Hoenn might enslave their pokemon to work for moving companies, but they do seem to care about pokemon well-fare. We checked the inside and found a new pokemon. Lv.7 Whismur ♂, named Noisy.

Now It's grinding time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
