Summary
Mr. Robins, a stubborn old man and an annoying neighbor in Sun Dew Town, has taken over the town's community orchard. This is troublesome to the folks in town, as the orchard belongs to everyone in town. And yet Mr. Robins acts like this berry farm is his property alone, and prevents other people from entering it.

Event
When starting their exploration in Sun Dew Town, the protagonist can find an old man named Mr. Robins who blocks the entrance to a farm filled with berry plants. You learn from the old man's wife, Jada Robins, that the berry farm is in fact the town's community orchard. The property is suppose to be free to be used by everyone in town, but her troublesome husband took over the place and treats it like it belongs only to him.

The protagonist has an opportunity to get inside the orchard and take some berries from there.

After getting their first Pokemon, the protagonist can leave the house to explore the town before Cirrus is finish choosing his first Pokemon.
