> Ask Mr Fish if he's up to more battles, continue to next town

"Karp..."

You take that as a yes. You shall have that Gyarados yet and it will be better than your mom's stinky Red Gyarados! You continue on to the next town, starting to notice that there are a lot more Pokemon hanging around than this morning.. You must've not noticed them since you were distracted with your mom being insane and all..

Moving on....

You make it to the next town without too much trouble. You take the time to beat up more Starly, Bidoof, and Kricketot, letting Mr Fish do all the work to get stronger. Yay.

Ah, Sandgem Town. At last. There's sand..... a lack of gems... a Pokemon Center.. Pokemart....... Professor Rowan's Lab........ What's that? Back in Twinleaf town? No, no, Professor Rowan's lab has -always- been in Sandgem Town, what are you talking about?

Anyways, there's also a path leading north out of town and a path leading south out of town... Where to?
