just becuase its 1 more town to get to the 2nd gym. are you on the windmill cause on friday, a ghost pokemon comes on friday in the grass, like its a sprite you talk to and battle (like Snorlax but you dont need pokeflute just talk to it and battle it, save it before you fight because if you dont get it you cant get it again.)
if i would not have gotten all 3 i would instead get a turtwig to beat roark and catch a starly to beat that one grass gym leader (which is 2nd gym) and figthing (which is the 4th you see but the 3 gym) and turtwig again against the water gym leader,(the 3rd you see but 4th gym ) and then get other srtonger pokemon that is diffren types. hey were are you at in pearl?
that's cool, i wonder what your going to beat the gym leaders with, i know i'll put piplup with roark and chimchar with idk who the gym leaders name is because i haven't gotten there yet lol.
