-I completely forgot to go get the Bike... what is wrong with me. Going to do that now.
-I'll be doing my typical routine of stumbling through Rock Tunnel in the dark, since I never did bother to go get Flash/don't really feel like finding someone that can learn it.
-Literally the first trainer I fought after the Gym, this happened:
-Made it through Rock Tunnel.
-Taught Niji TM29 - Psychic and used the only PP Up I've found so far on it.
-Rainbow Badge get! One-shot literally everything with Psychic.
-Utterly thrashed Team Rocket for the second time and now I'm climbing Pokemon Tower. Heated debate about whether I should catch one of the Snorlax and have it sit in my box for the rest of eternity incoming.
-Poke Flute get!
-Caught a Snorlax
after accidentally obliterating it with Psychic the first time around oops
-Navigated through the Safari Zone and got HM03 - Surf, which was promptly taught to Niji.
-Flew back to Celadon to collect TM13 - Ice Beam and teach that to him, too.
-Soul Badge get! Courtesy of Psychic, obviously.
-Thrashed Team Rocket some more. I won't have to deal with them as a whole again, but...
-Also, Master Ball get! A shame I'll probably never use it.
-Even more things I'll never use: Gifts in the form of Lapras and Hitmonchan. At least they're adding to my decidedly laughable amount of Pokemon caught in the Pokedex?
-Marsh Badge get! With a healthy mix of Body Slam, Surf and Psychic (for Venomoth).
-Volcano Badge get! Surf. Lots of Surf. Also Niji can apparently learn Fire Blast... I shouldn't be surprised, at this point.
