Go to the house next door and you meet Daisy, your Rival’s sister, and she tells you that your Rival is at his grandpa, Prof. Oak’s, [[Oak's Lab|lab]]. Leave the house and go to the lab, which can be found directly south of your Rival’s House.<br>

<br>
Once in the Lab, go to the very back and talk to your Rival. He tells you that Prof. Oak isn’t around so you have to go looking for him. Exit the Lab and head North toward the Exit for [[Pallet Town]]. Prof. Oak will stop you just before you reach the grassy area and tell you that it’s unsafe to travel without a Pokémon to protect you. He’ll then lead you to his Lab where a conversation between your Rival, Prof. Oak and yourself ensues. Now comes the first '''major decision''' of the game. Which starter will you choose? Bulbasaur, the [[Grass_(element)|Grass-type]] Pokémon, is in the left-most [[Poké ball]] on the table. Squirtle, the [[Water_(element)|Water-type]] Pokémon, can be found in the middle Poké ball on the table. Charmander, the [[Fire_(element)|Fire-type]] Pokémon, is in the right-most Poké ball on the table. Choose wisely.<br>

Now that you’ve chosen your starter Pokémon, your Rival chooses his starter Pokémon, but beware, for he’ll choose the Pokémon that is good against the Pokémon you chose (i.e. If you choose Grass he takes Fire, if you take Fire he’ll take Water, and if you take Water he’ll take Grass). Now that both of you have chosen your starter Pokémon it’s time to leave the Lab, but before you can, your Rival stops you and challenges you to a Pokémon Battle. Do not worry about your Rival’s Pokémon being a type that is good against yours, for his Pokémon will not have a move of its own type this early in the game.  This battle will allow you to get a feel for how the battle system works.<br>

Once back on Route 2 follow the path North to [[Pewter City]]. Find the Pokémon Center; it's probably a good idea to heal your Pokémon. If you followed my advice earlier when I told you to get a Mankey if you chose Charmander, you might need to level Mankey up a bit if you haven’t already. I’d suggest anywhere between levels 10-13 will do. From the Pokémon Center, go just a few steps to your right then up. You’ll see the Pewter City Gym, but you’ll have to go around it to get to the door. Do so and step in.<br>

The man standing at the front of the Gym tells you what type of Pokémon the Gym Trainers use and offer advice on what to use to defeat them. The Pewter City Gym trains [[Rock_(element)|Rock-type]] Pokémon, so Mankey will do away with them easily using it's fighting-type moves. Squirtle or Bulbasaur will make short work of the Pokémon in this gym using their elemental moves; Charmander will have a harder time.<br>

The first (and only) Trainer in the Gym is very easy. All he has is a Level 10 Geodude and a Level 10 Sandshrew. Sandshrew is only the [[Ground_(element)|Ground-type]], which might give Mankey trouble (its attacks won't be super-effective), so beware. After you beat him, save and then challenge Brock, the Leader of the Gym. He’ll give you a little speech about his Pokémon and claim that he’s unbeatable; however, if you Mankey, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur is at suitable level, he’s really very easy to defeat.<br>
