Twinleaf Town
----------------------
As with Diamond and Pearl, Rowan
will introduce the game to you, as
well as give you the option to choose
your character, your name, and your
rival's name. You'll be transported to
Twinleaf Town, where your great
Pokemon adventure begins
When the news report finishes, your
rival will appear in your room and
start blabbering on. Follow him
downstairs and your Mom will have
a chat to you as well. Head outside
and go to the northwest building,
your rival's house. He'll barge out of
the door into you, but remembers he
forgot something in his room. Follow
him into his house and head
upstairs, then follow him outside
and north onto Route 201 to find
him. Soon after, Professor Rowan will
appear and offer you three Pokemon
to choose from:
Turtwig
Chimchar
Piplup
Rowan and his assistant will head
back home to Sandgem Town, leaving
you and your rival to test out your
newly acquired Pokemon. Both your
Pokemon are level 5. If you chose
Turtwig, he'll have Chimchar. If you
have Chimchar, he'll have Piplup. If
you have Piplup, he'll have Turtwig.

Following the battle, you'll rest up at
home and talk to your Mom. She'll
give you the Running Shoes, which
allows you to run at double speed
by holding down the B button. Head
outside and meet your rival at Route
201 again. He'll tell you to go to
Lake Verity, so head west and he'll
follow you. Standing at the lake's
edge is none other than Cyrus, who
will briefly acknowledge the two of
you before leaving. You'll hear the
cry of a legendary Pokemon, and
then your rival will leave you to start
journeying.
