At the near-centre of Johto, Violet City saw many travellers from around the region, with routes leading west, south, and east. With its eastern and southern routes coming from cave areas, it was not unusual for travellers to become disorientated, and the citizens who lived on the outer limits were used to fishing trainers out of the underbrush.
So when a couple of children ran into the Gym complaining of a monster in the forest, Falkner wasn't really surprised. It had been a lazy day, so everyone had agreed to letting him go 'deal with the monster' while the birdkeepers held down the fort with the children. He had been directed towards Route 32, the eastern entrance to the city, and head there on foot. The soccer ball on the side of the path gave him a hint of where to begin looking, heading further into the brush.
"Hello? Anyone lost in here? The city is out this way!" Having just come from the Gym, he released his father's Pidgey and sent it to help navigate through the trees, his own Pokemon a bit big to be of much help. All the while he continued calling with the intention of providing a sound for any wanderer to follow to civilization.
