Events

 * After leaving Turnleaf Town you see your rival heading to Lake Verity to capture the Red Gyarados. Follow him.
 * After Visiting Lake Verity After visiting the lake come back to Route 201. You'll see Professor Rowan and his assistant there waiting for you. The professor seems annoyed that you used his pokemon, but the assistant tells you to drop by the lab later.
 * After Obtaining the Running Shoes After getting the Running Shoes you can walk into grass. The pokemon you find cannot be caught yet, but making them faint gives your pokemon more EXP. If your pokemon is weak go to your house and talk to your mom to heal.
