Chase Pancham by taking the first left through the alley, then immediately turn right and continue straight, following it. At the end, you’ll encounter two trainers named Andi and Andre, triggering a cutscene. The Pokemon Pancham belongs to them, and they agree to return your bag only if you battle with them.

Once the cutscene ends, you’ll need to choose one of three Pokemon as your starter for the game. The available options are:

Tepig - The Fire Pig Pokemon that breathes fire from its nose.
Totodile - The Big Jaw Pokemon that can blast water jets and bite.
Chikorita - The Leaf Pokemon that can shoot supersharp leaves.

Regardless of your choice, you will battle Andi, who uses Pancham. Here, you will learn the basics of Pokemon battles. Use ZL to focus on Pancham, and A, B, X, and Y to perform the corresponding moves.

For example, if you choose Tepig, you will start with two available moves: press X to use Tackle and A to use Tail Whip. After using a move, there’s a brief cooldown period before you can use it again.

To win the battle, you need to reduce the opposing Pokemon’s HP to zero. Once you win, both Andi and Andre will run away, completing your first mission: Get Your Travel Bag Back in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
