Found Onix early in the game (I think so...)

So yeah... apparently you can get a 'free' Onix in the Peridot ward... but I don't know if the event is triggered after you get to a certain point of the game or if its available since the beginning of the game. Well let's get to the point of how to obtain it, that is actually pretty easy. I found it by accident while hunting for a sticker lol.

First you have to talk with the man inside this house.

Then you have to talk to this Hiker over here...

After that, go to the same house again, you should find the Hiker from before inside, (kinda creepy how he got there before you...) talk to him and recieve the Onix.

If you really can get the Onix before the 1st gym, then it'll be easier to beat c:

To trigger that event the Whismur that is originally hiding there has to be defeated or captured.

No one is appearing in there for me. How many badges do you have?

I have eight at the moment, but my friend got it yesterday and he only has one badge.

But that onyx may give you an instant first badge. Is that to balance the difficulty of the first gym? Hmm
