The first thing you’ll find in Floccesy Town is the Pokemon Center, which will do you plenty of good if you’ve been training hard on the road here.  The second thing, thankfully, is Alder again.  He turns to you once you pass the Pokemon Center, and asks you if you’re treating your Pokemon well- you have to be able to rely on them, and they on you, after all.  He tells you his house is nearby, and heads North, giving you a chance to hit the Pokemon Center if you haven’t already.  Before following him, check the houses to the West.  An elderly gentleman in the first will give you your third free item- another Potion.

Following Alder to the North, he offers to start training- then asks why you’ve got two Town Maps.  Finding out that you’ve got a friend you’re supposed to give the map to, he exclaims that that must have been the Trainer he saw earlier, who is training on Route 20.  He also tells you to go ahead and deliver the map first.  Pointing out the way to Route 20, he moves to stand before the arena scratched out in the dirt in front of what you can only assume is his house.

Route 20 is next, a pleasant little path leading to a bridge over a river- but before that is your first Trainer battle!

Battle: Youngster Terrell (64 Poke)
Opponent: Patrat Lv 4

Across the bridge, the path turns North- and here’s your next battle.

Battle: Lass Isabel (64 Poke)
Opponent: Purrloin Lv 4

There’s a Paralyz Heal here, in the first grassy area of Route 20.  This grass contains Patrat, Pidove, Purrloin, Sewaddle, and Sunkern (Level 2-4, though the Sunkern all seem to be Level 2).  There’s also your next Trainer to battle.

Battle: Youngster Petey (64 Poke)
Opponent: Patrat Lv 4

Pidove is your first Flying-type available, and takes this game’s ‘main bird’ slot, previously occupied by Pidgey, Hoothoot, Taillow and Wingull, and Starly.  Its profile fits fairly closely to Pidgey’s, though it and its evolutions- Tranquill and Unpheasant- tend to be slightly frailer and slower, with a mildly stronger offensive ability.  Because of this, it’s a tad lacking in overall strength, and its movepool does little to make up for this.  Still, there’s little in the way of competition, inasmuch as there need be one for ‘basic Normal/Flying Pokemon’.  It certainly isn’t terrible, but if you’re willing to wait a while, Swanna is more overall decent and both Braviary and Mandibuzz fill more-specialized roles.
