[The feed on the PokeGear starts off with a screen full of puppyface, and then a nice view of teeth and a pink tongue as the Growlithe picks it up in his mouth.
A man's voice can be heard offscreen.]

[It's still confusing, and he's still no closer to understanding if he should be dead or not, but...at least he appreciates the information he does have.]

Er. If you want to set out, you just have to follow the path leading out of town. It takes a couple of days to get to Cherrygrove, and after that is Violet, which takes about a week of traveling.

Is there anything in particular we ought to do in these towns?
[Grins a little as she bows her head and waves his hand at the screen in a gesture that hopefully tells her to relax.]

I'm not entirely sure what you do with them, but if you collect all of them you can challenge an elite group of trainers. It's something to do while we wait to go home, anyhow.

Ah, that makes sense. [He shuffles around a little in the bag he was given by that strange woman, and indeed finds the guide to Pokemon breeding.]
Breeder it is, it seems. [A soft chuckle.]

...Um, it's a couple days walk to get to the next town, and it's dangerous to go alone... Normally people travel in groups, but... but since you're an adult, it shouldn't be too bad...
