Oh, I'm heading to Goldenrod eventually, but I may as well stop along the pathway there and see what there is to see. We don't want to rush straight into the city until I've gotten a better sense of things.

[For Paul's part, he's changed into something a bit less...obvious. Something to help him blend into this world's environment.]

Watch out for the nurses and police. Thank you for the warning. Anything else I need to know?

[Paul speaks politely, but there's a raised eyebrow. He's taking this boy's information with a grain of salt. While he hasn't needed a Pokémon Center yet, he's stepped into them and the nurses seem friendly enough. As for law enforcement, it's always best to stay on their good side.]
