@Shazamrock after @Sanguine Rose posts I can have David respond, being enthusiastic about the battle; then he hears Faye suggest seeing the city and gets totally distracted. Then we can circle back to the battle later; how does that sound?

Regarding direction, I've avoided reading anything about the towns so far. I might later, but I'm going for a dynamic where David knows nothing about the region and this might make that feel more authentic.

That sounds perfect. They can have some fun sight-seeing first, or just text each other to meet up if Nils goes a separate way. Either way they can battle before departing the city for real (so they can use that pokecenter!).

@Gremlin
Hey I just wanted to ask a quick question. Did you want the link to the Discord? It's entirely optional, but I realized you were the only person I never heard back from about it. It is entirely optional so if you don't want it then it's cool!

I have to ask. Did anyone notice that the titles of locations also have links for songs for that location?

You... fried your mouse?
