  • *Third update*

    Fought some trainers around Cerulean, but saved some for later.
    Went to Bill's.
    Found an Abra north of Cerulean! Kept using Ivysaur to train it though.
    Beat the gym and Misty, leveling up Abra a bit.
    Went to Vermilion and caught Drowzee!

    Drowzee is low level and Abra can't fight... am I allowed to use Ivysaur to level them up at least against wild pokémon? I'd figure not, since it wouldn't really be in the spirit of the challenge... :p

    Team:

    Abra
    Lv 12

    Drowzee
    Lv 12

    Ivysaur
    Slave/training
    You can use Ivysaur to train your Pokemon in the wild, but no trainer battles.

    Oh, and caught another Abra, to trade for Mr. Mime at the other end of Diglett tunnel.
    Went to Celadon and beat TR in game corner.
    Beat Erika without much trouble. Psychic = all is easy.
    Went to Lavender and beat Rival PAMPERS in ghost tower.
    Beat TR in ghost tower, got the pokeflute.
    Went to Celadon again and got Fly HM, taught it to a random Pidgey I caught, see above.

    Below is a youtube videoclip of the epic battle between me and Blu which I lost because his gyarados hit me with hydropump through six stacks of evasion!!!!! it worked on lance's gyarados, not his though :\. I started the elite four with nidoking and nidoqueen my only two level 42's, and everyone else 41 or under. I think I'll easily have this if I can find out a way to defeat gyarados a easier way. also dewgong, jynx, and basically everyone from Lorei was incredibly tough
    here is the fall;

After meeting Bill, I went and battled Misty. I went up to the robbed house and went out the back door. I beat the Rocket Grunt and trained my pokemon to level 25. I went to the Fishing Guru's house and got the Old Rod to catch a Magikarp. I caught a Magikarp and named it God. I went out and caught a Spearow and traded it for a Farfetch'd. I went and got through the S.S. Anne. I taught Farfetch'd Cut and went to the gym. I taught Burn!! dig and OHKO'd all his people. Currently training my team to 30.

    !CHALLANGE DONE!
    ...............GROUND..............

    the only way i was going to beat the elite four was if i leveled up my nidoking and nidoqueen enough so that they could use thunder/thunderbolt faster than lance's and my rival's gyarydos' hydro pump. that was really the only major problem i had(other than lorei's jynx, which i ended up having to get 6 stacks of evasion on my marowak for when jynx was up) and the rest was fairly easy. i went into the battles with 1 max potion, 5 revives. i ended up using the potion on hitmonlee(my nidoqueen's earthquake didnt KO) as well as one revive(dragonair killed my marowak with a nasty slam) but used a few more verus my rival since victory was imminent with a nice explosive way to end it all.
