Here is my first SoulSilver update, and I think I'm off to a good start:
-Began my quest and got Totodile from Professor Elm.
-Traveled to Mr. Pokemon's house and got the Mystery Egg from him as well as the Pokedex from Professor Oak.
-Battled my rival and won, then returned to New Bark Town.
-Entered Elm's lab. Named my rival Draco and headed to Route 29, where I got the Pokeballs from Lyra.
-Upon arriving in Cherrygrove City, where I traded in the rest of my team in exchange for five Hoothoot I captured.
-Traveled to Violet City, where I did some grinding, then headed into Sprout Tower and defeated the Sages within.
-Battled the trainers in the gym and beat Falkner easily, earning the Zephyr Badge.
-Next I traveled along Route 32, through Union Cave and into Azalea Town, battling trainers along the way (and obtaining the Miracle Seed, which was given to Treecko). Did some more grinding to prepare for the gym, during which time Totodile, Treecko and Torchic evolved into Croconaw, Grovyle, and Combusken respectively.
-Helped drive off Team Rocket and save the town's Slowpoke.
-Fought through the gym and beat Bugsy with the Hive Badge as my reward. As I began to enter Ilex Forest I was challenged by Draco, who I defeated quickly.
-Helped the woodcutter's assistant in Ilex Forest catch the two Farfetch'd and received HM 01. went back to the woodcutter's hut and received the Charcoal from his assistant, which I gave to Combusken.
-Cut the tree in Ilex Forest and traveled to Goldenrod City, obtained the Radio Card at the Radio Tower, and the bike from the Bike Shop.
-Battled the trainers on Route 35 and in the National Park, obtaining the Quick Claw and giving it to Absol.
-Did some more grinding, not wanting to lose to Whitney's Miltank. Croconaw evolved into Feraligatr (my team is a wee bit overleveled).
-Battled the trainers in the gym and beat Whitney more easily than I have before. After she calmed down from her tantrum, I received the Plain Badge.
Stay tuned for part 2!
