"Guess I'll go to the left."

Eric walks through the flowers. They smell quite nice! Eric sent Bulbasaur out of his Pokeball to enjoy the flowers with him.

After walking through the field of flowers, Eric continued on the path. The path now had trees instead of flowers. A man next to a tree caught his eye. Once the man saw him with his Bulbasaur, he smiled and walked up to him.

"You must be a Pokemon trainer! Here, take one of these." the man said, handing him a map. Eric looked at it:



It was a map of Pallet Town!

"Thanks!" Eric said.

"No problem! You should be able to get more maps from my brothers along your journey. Good luck!"

Since Eric had now explored all of Pallet Town, he decided to finally go over to Route 1. How should he go about exploring it?

A.) Go through the tall grass (Will most likely encounter a Pokemon, but will get through the area quicker)
B.) Avoid the tall grass as much as possible (May still encounter a Pokemon, but the chances are much slimmer. Also, will be able to explore more of Route 1)
