As Aribeth stated everyone will be starting in Landing Port. There will be a ceremony opening the Arcaian Pokémon League that everyone will be coming for.<br/><br/>Either character will work. The wild child could be coming to Landing Port for the first time, or your other trainer would be arriving on the S.S. Anne. I’ll be running the league similar to how they run it in the manga, so I’m glad to hear someone else has read it as well.
