Pokemon Black White Walkthrough Part 3 – Route 1

Head out the Research Center and you will find your Mother waiting for you three. She will give all of  you Town Maps so you can always  find where you are and where you are going. She will also say that she'll tell Bianca's and Cheren's parents that you are heading off on this journey. After that go over to the right. When you reach the opening, leading to Route 1, you will see Bianca and Cheren waiting for you there. Cheren explains that Bianca wanted the three of you to take your first step onto Route 1 together for your journey together. After that little interlude, you can make your way up to Professor Juniper.

She will then explain about the basics of catching Pokemon. She walks into the grass and you see her enter into battle. She sends out her Minccino against the wild Patrat. She attacks it, lowering its health, then throwing a Poke Ball to catch the Patrat. She explains that it helps to try to paralyze or put them to sleep to increase your chances of catching them. After this, Juniper gives all of you five Pokeballs each. She tells you that she will meet you in Accumula Town up ahead. Cheren adds that you encounter Pokemon in the tall grass. After that, Bianca offers up a contest to see who can catch the most Pokemon on the Route. Cheren sees it

The first person you meet will just reiterate what Cheren already said about finding Pokemon in the tall grass. The second person along the route, in the tall grass, will give you a Potion. Take a moment and catch some Pokemon, trying out what you have learned about capturing them.

Keep going north and you will find your friends. If you have catch two Pokemon, you will win the contest that that Bianca put forward. You don't get anything, but it is always nice to win. Just after the Pokemon catching contest ends, your Transceiver will ring. Professor Juniper is calling all three of you. She will ask you to head into town and meet her at the Pokemon Center. Once the call ends, head north to reach Accumala Town.
