Pokémon X and Y/Route 2

'''Avance Trail, the first route in your journey that contains tall grass. Wild Pokémon will often pop out from the grass, which you can battle to toughen up your Pokémon or catch to add a new Pokémon to your party. The Pokémon you will find on this trail are easy to catch and great to use for beginner trainers.'''

Pokémon catching tutorial
Soon after you step foot on Route 2, you will come across Calum/Serena and Shauna. Calum/Serena will demonstrate how to catch Pokémon. First, you have to weaken your target by attacking them until they're left with low health. Then, toss a Poké Ball at the Pokémon to catch it. Not only will you gain a new Pokémon for your team, your Pokémon will also get experience points as if they have actually defeated the Pokémon you caught. After the demonstration, Calum/Serena will give you 10 Poké Balls. That's more than enough to build up a good early team!

Trainers
At the entrance to Santalune Forest, you will be challenged by another Pokémon Trainer. Whenever a trainer sees you, you will be challenged to a Pokémon battle where you cannot run. Be sure to look out for trainers along the path in the future if you wish to avoid a battle.
