Pokémon X and Y Walkthrough - Part 3 (A Wild Pokémon Appeared!)

When you advance onto Route 2, you'll see a small patch of long grass that you'll have to walk through. You're guaranteed to run into a wild Pokémon as you make your way through it. Your Pokémon is of a higher level though so should be more than capable of rising to the challenge. If you bought any Pokéballs in Aquacorde Town you could try to catch the wild Pokémon, or defeat it if you prefer.

There are several species of wild Pokémon you can encounter along Route 2:

Caterpie - Pokémon Y Only*

Pidgey

Weedle - Pokémon X Only*

Zigzagoon

Fletchling

Bunnelby

Scatterbug

 *(Don't worry if you can't catch either Caterpie or Weedle in this area due to the version you are playing as you'll still have the opportunity to find one in Santalune Forest up ahead.)

After your battle with the wild Pokémon, head forward to meet with your friends, Shauna and Calem. How convenient! You're just in time for Calem to teach you how to catch a Pokémon! He will also give you 10 Pokéballs to start you off on your catching spree ;)

Carrying on north through the rest of the tall grass, and remember to catch any Pokémon you want for your team. The more Pokémon you have with you, the stronger you can become. Don't worry about missing out on any experience if you catch a Pokémon rather than defeat it, because you'll still gain experience at the end of the battle, once the Pokémon is successfully captured.

As you near the end of Route 2 and the entrance to Santalune Forest, you'll be stopped by a young kid who, you guessed it, wants a Pokémon battle! Youngster Austin will have only 1 Pokémon, a lvl 5 Zigzagoon. You should already be a higher level than him so the battle shouldn't be too much of a problem for you. Obviously you can't catch other trainers' Pokémon, so you'll just have to defeat him. After Austin is down in defeat, you can smugly continue on your way, and into Santalune Forest.
