When you enter Prof. Elm’s lab, you’ll walk over to the policeman who’s there and suspects you as the robber! Not good! Then your friend (Lyra or Ethan) will run in and will help explain things, clearing your innocence.
Now you’ll be given the chance to name the red haired boy. Name him whatever you’d like, though you can leave his name blank to use the default name for him. In the Pokémon canon stuff, he is referred to as Silver, so you might want to name him that if you are a Pokémon purist. I’m just going to call him Rival for the sake of this walkthrough, though. It’s a great name, after all, and you’ll know exactly who I’m talking about!
After that, your friend and the policeman will leave, and then you’ll give Prof. Elm the Mystery Egg you got from Mr. Pokémon. He’ll be like “No way, Pokémon really make eggs! Unbelievable! I’ve never actually seen one!” and be all amazed by it or something. Common sense, man. But then he’ll be excited that you got your Pokédex from Prof. Oak and tells you that you should embark on a journey for the badges and take the Pokémon League challenge. You know, the usual. And the best place to start is in Violet City.
But first, no hero starts a great journey without saying goodbye to his or her mom, so make your way back to your mom’s house to talk to her. She’ll then ask if you want her to save a portion of your money after each fight that you win. It’s your choice, though if you say yes, she’ll buy you stuff with that money, some of it being rather tricky to get, and since you’ll probably be making enough money anyway, you might as well.
Whenever she buys something, she’ll call you on your PokéGear, and you’ll then be able to pick up your item(s) at any Poke Mart by talking to the man in the red suit. She buys a lot of berries, but some of the other cool items she buys for you include a Silk Scarf, Choice Scarf, and Moon Stone, as well as plenty of others, so it’s definitely worth it.
Now make your way out of town, now that you’re embarking on an epic journey and you said goodbye to your mom.
