I arrive at Pallet Town, head north as oak drags me off to claim my "Starter" I chose bulbasaur and named him Steve.
Rival Green Starts off with a LV6 Charmander and nearly dominates me, resorting me to use stragety by growling lots and relying on my only healing potion.
I head north out of Pallet and see a new face, it's May! She starts off with an lv6 Eevee and my Steve is lv6, thinnking it would be easy i become cocky and ignorant, though she defeats me twice before i realise i have to grind already and i Just left Pallet!
After grinding to lv7 she bests me yet again due to a stupid button mispress, though I learn Leech Seed which proves to be very useful til i obtain my first team member.
Reaching Viridian City as i am called to deliever a package to Oak, I head on back to Pallet, deliver the parcel and obtain my pokedex and 5 pokeballs.
I leave off in search of new pokemon!
Heading onto Route 22 to search to begin my team yields luck... I think. I encounter baby pokemon on this Route! One of them just happens to be Elekid. It's clear that I need this member on my team and that Steve will have to go into the PC. I catch Spark Plug the Elekid who seems to be very bashful and confident of his skills, yet always fails.
After stocking up on supplies I head on through Viridian Forrest. Having gained levels, Spark Plug learns Thunderpunch which makes things really easy to clear, except for those Nincadas... At the end of Viridian forrest I yet again lose to a trainer on the end due to the low amount of Power Points for Quick Attack and Thunderpunch (not like it's going to be any use for him anyways!) Having healed up and gone back to beat him, I leave Viridian Forrest behind and head north to Pewter City.
This is where things become frustrating and where I spend a good half hour grinding Spark Plug up...
I reach the gym, I know that he has tough Pokemon, but this isn't like the anime, i cant just supercharge my Spark Plug and rain hellfire upon brock and his gym. I do beat the first trainer easilly but the 2nd trainer has a Geodude which proves troublesome, which ends up with my defeat yet again... so I skip the trainer for now and try and face Brock!
Brock Leads off with a Phamphy, being ground type I fear for my Spark Plug, though his bashful and overconfident nature takes the better of him, turns out this Phamphy has Take Down! Jeez... lets skip all of this...
After a LONG grind fest against LV5 Pokemon, I reach brock once again, using brock himself as a level grinder becomes easier as I am able to take down his first two Pokemon. I reach Lv25 I unlock a lifesaver, Swift! Finally a good attack that will actually hit and deal damage!
Now I knew I was going to win.
Brock sends out his Phamphy which I destroy with a few swift attacks, he couldn't even damage me which was a bonus.
He then sends out a Kabuto which I destroy with a thunderpunch in a single hit. I can see the confidence on Spark Plugs face, though it now seems he's acting a bit more cautiously.
Brock sends out his iconic Onix, in past battles I learned that he has Mud-Slap which is a HUGE problem for me, though Elekid luckilly knows Light Screen, I immediatley set up a Light Screen, launch of at least 5 leers, during that time he only launches one Mud-Slap off, the rest of the time he was stuck in a Bind. After reducing his defence by 4 Stages, I let loose and kill that Onix for good with 4 Swifts.
Brocks final Pokemon is Omanyte... Yep, that confidence of Spark Plug had risen after he finally defeated that Onix, Thunderpunch to the face and we achieve our first goal.
The boulderbadge!
I also recieve the Rock Tomb TM.
It's time to boldly move on to the next City, Cerulean.
Heading off to Route 3, Spark Plug destroys trainers as we head towards Mt. Moon.
Heading towards the Pokemon Center, May appears to challenge us to a battle!
May sends out a clamperal as Spark Plug just... Thunderpunches it...
May sends out her Eevee, and sweet revenge as Spark Plug destroys Eevee with a Thunderpunch!
I laugh as May is defeated and she walks off shamefully.
I heal my team and enter Mt. Moon and capture my first Poison Type, Supersonic the Zubat. He seems really frail and will need some training up before I go on any further.
