GYM 1
Falkner  VS Albert!

He chooses Pidgey LV9 and I choose Varys. We exchange blows tackle then poison sting 3 times. Then he uses sand attack and I use a final poison sting. Varys is now down to 13HP. Next he chooses Pidgeotto LV13. I switch to Mertyns. He tackles then I use hypnosis; then asleep- tackle- asleep- Peck( which does a little bit more)- then he wakes up and uses tackle. It activates my Oran berry. I peck- then he uses roost. I switch to Ghost, he uses gust- (extra damage) Ghost uses hypnosis; then sleep- potion on Mertyns- sleep- I NEED A NEW STRATEGY...hmm...switch to Loras- he wakes then uses gust and I use poison powder Loras down to 17HP (less then half). switch to Mertyns then we exchange pecks for tackle and gust. meanwhile poison chips damage all over but I need to get the kill before a roost. I peck and crit it puts him to nearly dead he uses gust. Mertyns down to 9HP but poison knocks him out!

VICTORY!

I receive the badge, TM Roost, I can use Rock Smash out of battle, up to LV 20 obeys me. I do a little dance then exit the gym.

Elm calls immeadiatey and congrats me then says to head to the pokemart. I heal my pokemon, drop off my useless Dothraki in the PC. I head to the pokemart and receive the egg I delivered to Elm earlier in my quest.

I buy a few supplies at the mart for the next long route and cave; 10 pokeballs +free premier ball, 1 potion, 2 antidotes, 1 paralysis heal, and 1 awakening. I exit with my goodie bags.

A kimono girl approaches me. She talks about the awesomeness of my egg and to be safe and take care of it. She leaves and I begin my next journey.

I travel southwest and enter Route 32. ( I'm hoping my next encounter is Mareep or even Wooper so that I can diversify my team or cover weaknesses) I walk past the first grass spot and battle a trainer. He uses a Rattata and Zubat but I dispatch them with Varys or Ghost. I move to the next grass spot.
the first pokemon appears and its... a Rattata... I run. (Now I'm using the rule where there are no repeat mon once I catch one. So since I caught Tickler earlier in my quest I can move on to a new encounter. The next mon is... Rattata. I run. Third encounter is... Bellsprout! Not my first choice but I battle it with two poison stings and then catch it. I name Bellsprout, Margaery. (It might help with the upcoming cave or a decent back-up if Loras falls.)

She joins my team at LV6. I continue on...
