4. Back to Birch's Lab

Walkthrough

Walk back south through Oldale Town and down Route 101 to Littleroot Town.

In the lab, Professor Birch gives you the Pokédex. On your way out, your rival gives you five Poké Balls, so you can now catch wild Pokémon.

Your next stop is Petalburg City, west of Oldale along Route 102. You do not have the Running Shoes yet; Mom gives them to you as you leave town in the next chapter.
