[It seems someone has warned him already. At least he won't have to suffer through that.]

Do you know what you can eat then?

No, you can't eat them. It's like trying to eat a rock. I buy a lot of meat when I go through a town and eat that along with whatever plants I find while I'm walking. It takes three days to walk from New Bark Town to Cherrygrove City though, and there aren't any stores in New Bark Town, so you have to eat the plants that you find on the way if you don't want to go hungry.
