Hyogo: Birchwood Town

This is Birchwood Town, the second town in the Hyogo region. You first arrive here in order to pick up you starter Pokemon from Dr. Raptor in the Pokemon Lab. Dr. Raptor also gives you a PokeDex and five Pokeballs, and the assistant gives you a Town Map. The assistant then advises you to go tell your mom that you're going on your journey. Upon arriving back here after doing so, the assistant will tell you that Team Meta has been spotted in Pineford City and that your rival has already left.
