They either involved beings of unfathomable power, strange atmospheric phenomenons that kept Route 3 drenched in rain and he could only assume that something stronger than he was responsible for it, or mysteries so old that they predated the existence countless centuries of this region. All he was looking for were just things happening right now, but it looked like those were the main rumors going about. He would be lucky to be to even encounter anything as amazing as those legends or solve something like those strange stones, unless they just kicked his teeth in. And here he is, with nothing else planned. He really did not want to leave just yet; there was still the gym, but he needed to get a whole lot stronger before he could even attempt that and he already stocked up at the Poke Mart so there was nothing he needed to buy. There was a lake, maybe he could fish... Wait, he didn't have a fishing rod. Oh screw it! What's the point on going on an adventure without taking a little risk? Second guessing himself and shirking away from taking chances was exactly what he wanted to change! His next course of action was to go to Route 3 to go pay his respects at the Silent Shrine and then head deep into the Northern Silent Forest to investigate the strange meteorological status of the wetland. Filled with newfound purpose, he marched his way to Route 3.
