[ Turn the video on? Don't be absurd. It's no ones business what she's doing or witnessing the loving way she's stroking her new Hoppip in her lap as it quietly sleeps while making soft noises... ]

I've made it through to Cherrygrove City now, though it's a small victory in the grand scheme of things if this map proves to be correct. I finally checked all the contents of my bag and everything seemed in order. No curses or hexes hidden anywhere.

I also read that little book on breeding that was given to me. It's too early to start work with this, so I've taken to amassing as many...Pokémon...as possible before beginning. This morning I came upon a Corsola and it seems fitting that I try to capture all Pokemon in the area to get a wide breeding range. I'll be staying here until it's mine. [ She stock-piled Poké balls from what money she had. ]

I understand that there's a difference between reading a book on this kind of thing and gaining experience through hands-on practice. If you could give me any tips, they would be much appreciated.

Also on how to defeat Pokémon in battle. My main obstacle with the Corsola I mentioned.

Unless you have a Grass-type, it'll take weeks before you can defeat a Corsola. They have much higher levels than anything else in the vicinity, except Staryus.

I see, thank you. I'll have to begin training Shinya accordingly then.

[ The Hoppip can be heard rustling and making a soft shrieking noise at the mention of it's name. ]

If you see a Move Tutor around Cherrygrove, you can also ask them to teach your Shinya a few attacks. It could make the training process faster, depending on what it can learn.
