Glad you see it my way.

Tell you what, I get you outta the forest, we go to Goldenrod. I gotta pick up some stuff from the store anyway. I got some new Pokemon I wasn't expectin' to end up with who need some work put into 'em.

I guess you can get supplies too. We can either backtrack to Azalea from there or go to Ecruteak. The latter is probably way more up your alley to begin with. Sound like a deal?
