We can't head to Twoson yet, but we can beat up the leader of the local gang. Let's do that!

There is a mole you can talk to near the cave leading to Giant Step, and if you talk to him, he will tell you about the different color swirls you can get before battles.
If you try to head to Twoson, you'll find out that the road is blocked...for now.
Head to the Game Center. From here, you'll be able to fight a few members of the Sharks, one upstairs and one downstairs. You may want to level up a bit before facing them, but if you can beat them, you can get some good items such as Hamburgers (which recover 50 HP). If you manage to get upstairs, you can find out that Frank has a powerful weapon.
You'll have to get through the double doors downstairs to face Frank, and to do that, you'll have to tell the guy at the door that you do not want to be a member of the Sharks when asked. This leads to a battle, but if your level is high enough and you have weapons and armor from Onett's Drug Store, you can get past him and meet Frank outside.
Talk to Frank to battle him. Frank will do quite a bit of damage with some knives, so keep your health high as you keep hitting him with physical attacks. When Frank goes down, you'll face "Frankystein Mark II," which is the tank and powerful weapon that Frank has. You'll have to face the tank.
Frankystein Mark II can only attack every other round, and you can use this to your advantage by knowing when to heal and when to get some free shots in whenever the tank blows out a burst of steam. If you run out of healing items, don't be afraid to use Lifeup Alpha.
When you defeat the tank, Frank will give up and tell you about Giant Step. He will tell you that it is a powerful spot where some kind of special power that allows people to perform wondrous feats is located, and that a monster has sucked up all the energy at that spot and made it difficult to get to. He will tell you that the entrance to Giant Step is behind the touring entertainers' shack, and that Mayor Pirkle has a key to the shack. From here, talk to him again to heal.
If you talk to the Sharks at the Game Center, some of them will say different things.
The next place to go is Town Hall. Now that you've defeated Frank, you can get the key just by talking to Mayor Pirkle. Pirkle will hand you the key, but refuses to take any responsibility for what happens to you when you head there. When he asks if he can avoid any responsibility, say "yes" to get the key.
Leave Town Hall and head to the Traveling Entertainer's Shack. Unlock the door, then talk to the guy standing near the door to get the Travel Charm, which protects you from paralysis attacks. Equip it so you don't get paralyzed.
When you enter the shack, there will be a hole in the wall. Go through it and enter the cave.
The moving black pixels are Black Antoids, and they can kick your butt if you're not careful. They can also call for help, which will summon more Black Antoids, and they can heal themselves with Lifeup Alpha. They can also be Attack Slugs, which can attack in groups, albeit not very strongly at this point. At least they give you plenty of experience, making this cave a good place to farm for experience at this point in the game.
The Skip Sandwich recovers 5 HP and allows you to move faster for ten seconds.
The Rowdy Mouse can bite you, but it will not do a lot of damage at this point unless they can somehow nail you with a critical hit.
If you need to, you can keep entering and leaving rooms to randomly spawn and de-spawn enemies and maybe make some easier. At the very least, you can keep spawning enemies to get more fights, which in turn, will give you more experience.
Ness will learn PSI Rockin' Alpha at Level 8, which does PSI damage to all enemies. The name of this spell will depend on what you've named Ness' favorite thing.
The Cold Remedy will heal you in case you have a cold, which will cause you to slowly lose hit points.
When you see the sparkle, approach it to face the Titanic Ant. There will also be two Black Antoids behind the Titanic Ant. You will want to come into this battle with plenty of HP, PP and healing items, as the Titanic Ant can hand your head to you if you are not careful.
