Was this before you got the egg from mr pokemon?
he used to be there....

 

[skypatrol250]

This was after.
If he was there, I guess this may belong in the bugs section?

 

[Darkfire]

oh he leaves after you get the egg

 

[hannes3120]

you have to battle him after you get the egg - so you know that he gets out of this town...

 

[Daziman]

he leaves after Elm gives you a pokemon, isn't a bug. But, this isn't even the correct section. Moved
