After breaking out of the moving truck, CONAN explores his new home. It is much warmer than Cimmeria, with a moist taste to the air. CONAN surveys all before him, and sees that it is good.CONAN: By Crom, I do not like this place, where dead men rise, and sleeping men vanish into the bellies of shadows! Never shall I sleep, and never shall I partake in this horrific necromancy!
Littleroot Town
(Left House: CONAN's. Right House: May's. Bottom: The Lab.)
With naught else to do, CONAN browses the internet for a while before a potion drops into his lap.CONAN: What manner of fluid is this? Why is it here? No matter, I am supposed to visit that creepy professor!
CONAN checks the Pokemon Lab for Professor Birch, but he is not there. CONAN decides to track him down nonetheless, and breaks into the second story window of the Professor's house. Inside, he finds a girl sitting at a computer.May: Who are you? What are you doing in my house?
CONAN: I am CONAN! I walk where I please. Where is your father, worm?
May: You're a loony. He's out to the north, researching the packs of animals that roam the wilderness.
CONAN leaves the building the way he came before leaving to visit the Professor. He soon finds the Professor being cornered by a wild Poochyena, his bag of Pokemon thrown far to the side.Professor Birch: CONAN! Is that you? Grab one of those Pokeballs and slay this beast!
CONAN rushes over to the bag and picks up the most powerful Pokemon he can find. This Pokemon is small and weak, but it is stronger than the snivelling lizard or the cowardly mudfish.+
: Holy shit! Come to my lab right away!
The pair stroll through the town, coated in gore. Upon reaching the lab, the Professor turns to CONAN.Professor Birch: CONAN, you are a powerful warrior indeed. Not many can command a Torchic so well on their first attempt. You must keep that Torchic and use it to better yourself. You have the potential to be the greatest warrior who ever lived, like no one ever was.
CONAN: I shall undertake this quest. I will journey to the ends of this land to slay every man, woman, and child that crosses me. I am CONAN and I shall become a Pokemon Master! I dub thee birdling Hrothgar, after one of the great warriors of my homeland!
Professor Birch: ...Okay. My daughter is to the north, studying Pokemon for me out north of Oldale town. Take these Pokeballs and use them. When you're ready, test yourself against her.
CONAN sets forth, heading north to the town of Oldale. To get there, he has to cross route 101.Route 101
Route 101 is full of many creatures, but none can defeat Hrothgar. The first to fall before them is a Zigzagoon that was captured and named Meroveg, after a legendary barbarian king of yore. The unshakable duo cut a swath of destruction through the entire route, until they reach the town of Oldale. Oldale is a town full of elderly weaklings with a penchant for softness, and thus CONAN passes through without a word.+
Oldale Town
CONAN continues straight northward after using a potion on Hrothgar to prepare him for the upcoming fight. In route 103, CONAN catches a Poochyena whom he cleverly names Wulfgar. Ahead, CONAN spots May, the Professor's daughter.

Route 103
May has chosen Mudkip, a slimy fishlike monstrosity that's only redeeming quality is that it is strong against Torchic. Hrothgar still scratches it to death handily, having practiced on countless Zigzagoons while on the way. The battle is over quickly, and CONAN heads back to Littleroot, secure in his victory. May has been left bleeding in the dust, a vanquished foe. Tomorrow he sets off for Petalburg, the town where his long-lost father is said to reside.
