When a {{player}} first arrives at this city and talks to [[Norman]], a boy named {{ga|Wally}} will come in asking for help to catch a Pokémon. Using {{p|Zigzagoon}}, a Pokémon Norman lends, and the player's support, Wally catches his first Pokémon: a {{p|Ralts}}. The [[Pokémon Center]] has a man near the PC who will let players put key words on their {{ga|Trainer Card}}s.
