Alright, so you're at Alder's House, and guess what? You've got your first trainer battles! Don't sweat it, these School Kids are pretty straightforward, especially if you picked the right starter. They're basically there to get you used to battling other trainers.

Trainer Battle: School Kid

The first School Kid you face will have a Pokémon that your starter Pokémon is strong against. The second one? Well, they'll have a Pokémon that's strong against your starter, so be ready for a bit of a challenge there.

If your starter is Tepig:

If your starter is Oshawott:

After the Battles

Once you've taken down both of those School Kids, you can finally exit Alder's House. As soon as you step outside, a friendly fella will pop up and hand you the Medal Box along with your very first medal, Medal 001. Pretty neat, huh?

Shortly after that little exchange, he'll take his leave, and then Alder himself will come out of his house. Have a quick chat with him, and he'll head back inside.

Now, it's time to head back to Aspertia City. Your next goal is to challenge Cheren, the Gym Leader there. As you make your way out of town, Alder will stop you one more time. This time, he's got a little gift for you: Oran Berry x5. After you finish chatting with him, just follow Route 19 back to Aspertia City. You're one step closer to becoming a Pokémon Master!
