As you stare at the curious floating Pokemon and the singing birds, a breeze picks up and the Hoppip is carried away into the forest.

shortly after, you hear a loud snap in the woods, like a large branch breaking, the Fletchling get spooked and dart away as well.

You have reached the rocky grassland that should, according to your map, extend almost all of the way to Viridian City. Perhaps startled by your presence, or an unseen predator, a flock of spearow arise from a relatively close tree and begin to swarm and tumble through the air… you’ve heard horror stories of flocks of spearow shredding aspiring trainers who’ve just begun their journey.

What do you do?
