GYM BATTLE

Morty vs Albert:
Gastly LV20 vs Mertyns LV23... (I picked him first so that I could damage with confusion and normal immunity to ghost) confusion- hypnosis against me doesn't work cause of insomnia ability- confusion again kills
Haunter LV21 vs Mertyns LV23... it tries to hypnotize me but insomnia- confusion- curse- confusion- hurt by curse
Gengar LV25 vs Arya LV23...mean look (O NO)- I yawn- hypnosis on me then gengar falls asleep- I use Awakening- sleep- extrasensory puts it at half health- then a sitrus berry activates- sleep- extrasensory- he wakes up and hypnosis misses- extrasensory kills
Haunter LV23 vs Mertyns LV23... curse- confusion- curse hurt- hyperpotion on haunter- confusion- curse hurt down to 11HP I switch to Arya- sucker punch- extrasensory kills. Arya reaches LV24.

Up to LV50 will obey me and I can use surf outside battle. I get TM30 shadow ball but only ARYA can learn it atm. Mom calls and said she bought an item. I go to the store and get Chople berries. I train in Route 38 for a moment and get Mertyns up to LV24. So now that I have surf ability I like to go back in the journey and visit areas I haven't been able to get to. I give Mertyns a break and switch him out for Hodor (slowpoke) and teach it surf. I go back to Violet City. I surf and find, PP UP, Rare Candy, and then head back down Route 32. I find a super potion and TM05 Roar.

I walk by the center and head into union cave. I head down some stairs and surf I run into a quagsire and beat it with Loras. He levels up to LV24. I switch to Selmy and see trainers ahead.

Hiker:
Geodude LV23, Machop LV25 vs Selmy LV23 ... brick break kills geodude quick. Aerial ace hurts then it uses revenge and I'm down to 5HP(jeez) but I'm faster and ace doesn't miss so I use that for the win.

After I beat him I heal and face a wild onix. Selmy beats it and gets to LV24. There is a fork in the cave and I take the top route.

Hiker:
Geodude LV23 vs Clegane LV23... it uses self-destruct and I survive by 2 HP! (jeez)
Graveler LV25 vs Valyrian LV23... (to survive a self-destruct) It uses magnitude and gets % so that puts me down to 12HP and rock smash does very little. I risk a switch to Loras and it gets magnitude 3 then Loras kills with magical leaf.

I use a repel and run back to the center. I heal then repel and run back and pick up where I left off...

Next I enter Olivine City. As I walk in Swarley pops out of the gym and comes at me. (crap I wasn't ready for this) He complains about the gym leader giving a crap about pokemon and not battleing. Then mentions me being weak (come on dude I've smacked you down repatedly) and how I should train in the lighthouse. He walks off. I continue in the town. I get a good rod and heal at the poke center. As I'm talking to people in the center a girl challenges me.

Beauty:

Next I buy 6 great balls and 3 net balls for fishing. I fish on the dock for my encounter in this city. My first encounter pops up, its krabby LV20. I horn attack once and then net ball once for an easy catch. I name her Celtigar and she is transferred to the PC.

I meet Monica of Monday and she gives me a sharp beak item. But that's it on the route because I need HM surf or for the battle frontier to open. I head back and reach the Lighthouse. I go in and find a super potion. After that I battle trainers.

Hoppip LV16, Skiploom LV18 vs Loras LV21... headbutts and poison powder take them out.

First encounter finally! ...It's... Raikou ... da fudge?????????? I can't use legendary mon but it counts as first encounter, technically. I throw a poke ball and he pops out right away and runs. (wave goodbye to Rout3 38 encounter) I beat up some Rattata and then Loras gets to LV21. I switch to Mertyns.

School Kid:

Mr. Mime LV20 vs Mertyns LV21... I use hypnosis and three pecks and he is down.

I enter Route 39 and meet a guy in charge of the safari zone. He said he is moving one here and will let me know when its ready. I find a green apricorn and TM60 Drain Punch. I help a sick miltank buy giving it my only oran berries. It's still not feeling well but I leave until I find more.

Psychic:
Slowpoke LV17 vs Mertyns LV21... I take down it down with pecks but its 2nd confusion crits me down to 13HP.
Slowpoke LV17 vs Ghost LV21... I use confuse ray and it misses then it uses confusion. I get confused and drop to 4HP. I switch to Loras to finish this buisness and razor leaf cleans house on slowpoke.

I go back and heal my mon then come back to battle.

Raticate Lv17 vs Clegane LV21 ... double kick kills
Krabby LV19 vs Ghost LV21... two night shade and pay back kill, it uses bubble twice with minimal damage.

I head back with Ghost in front to train in prep for ghost gym battle. I kill two rattata. Next a wild raticate appears. I use confuse ray it misses and then raticate uses pusuit and it super effectivly crits. Ghost falls dead on the spot! NOOOOO! R.I.P. Ghost

I gently place him in the PC. I debate which mon to fill the void left by Ghost. My main thoughts are to pick between Selmy (heracross), Shaggy Dog (growlithe), and Lem (drowzee). Lem is helpful for the upcoming gym but no real use after that. Shaggy Dog could help with coverage and bite for the gym but I have no idea when I get a fire stone. So I select Selmy, he doesn't have the initial help with the next gym but is really strong and helpful for later.

I put Selmy in front then begin switch training in Route 37. Selmy up to LV14 then LV15 then LV16. Also Valyrian and Clegane to LV22. Now I can train Selmy by himself. I heal and then go to the store. I buy 10 pokeballs, 1 free premier ball, 2 great balls, and Mom got me a super potion. I continue training and Selmy reaches LV17. there is a different person on the route so I talk to them. It's Sunny from Sundays and he give me a magnet for electric types. Then Selmy gets to LV19 and learns brick break. BOOM! (now we're talking) I heal then switch to training in Route 38. Selmy gets to LV20 and then LV21. now I'm ready to pick back up from where I left off in the story...
