I forgot about how many trainers were on this route. I'm all out of potions now.
I sold my TM's for some extra cash, and bought a few more pokeballs and Potions.
Defeated the last trainer between here and the first patch of grass.
The first pokemon of the route.
This is getting ridiculous ha ha.
Not that I'm complaining.
I let Butterfree go back home.
I was sad to see her go, but she really did belong back in the forest.
Bit of a level montage.
Had some pretty close calls,
but in the end we made it.
I caught a new friend!
We got a bit carried away in training...
But we both agree it was worth it.
Upon arriving at the Mount Moon Poke Center
I decided to purchase Magikarp.
With Pidgeotto and Jigglypuffs help, we turned him into a fighting force!
The first pokemon of the cave.
Team Rocket?!
What are they doing here?!
I refuse to show mercy to those who would use pokemon as nothing more then tools!
I caught another pokemon on the way to defeat
every Team Rocket Agent in the cave.
That organization, cannot continue to exist.
I didn't really want a pokemon fossil.
But I wasn't given a choice...
Paras helped me the last few steps out of the cave.
Which was very nice of him, I had gotten lost after I escape roped out to heal.
This guy. I'm really starting to hate him.
He only seems to care about getting stronger.
I sometimes wish that I could free that Bulbasaur of his.
I'm sure if I asked it, it would want freedom.
Team Rocket is here too?
I'm glad I ran into Officer Jenny,
now I can be on the look out for more of those thugs.
It turns out the bridge was an elaborate scheme to find strong trainers.
But me?
Join Team Rocket?!
Never!
I'd die fighting first.
But, Pidgeotto lent me her strength and we had no problem taking the agent out.
For someone who was meant to recruit trainers...
I felt he was weaker than I had expected.
I ran into a Bellsprout by the river.
I was glad to have him with me.
I was never expecting an Abra to join me as well.
They don't tend to like humans very much, so it was a huge surprise.
Teleport came in very handy when we were training,
it was a big help and making the team stronger.
With travel time shortened, we were able to train for longer.
I used that time wisely increasing my whole parties strength.
I... I failed you both.
I'm sorry for working you too hard.
I eased up on the training a bit.
Healing them more often.
I was forced to sell any items I didn't need to purchase more supplies.
Paras evolved.
Moral indecision.
He created the PC Box system in Kanto,
which allows trainers to keep untold amounts of pokemon...
But... What about the Pokemon he's been merged with?
In the end... I decided to help Bill out.
And he gave me a ticket for a ship I'd never heard of.
I finally felt confident that me and my friends could take down the gym leader without issue.
Her guards... Were...
But it was finally time to claim my second badge.
We had a bit of trouble with her second pokemon, but overall it was an easy battle.
Thank you Kadabra.
I'll keep Weepinbell until I catch my next pokemon.
Yet another Rocket, I am disheartened to know they are all over Kanto and Jhoto.
Hopefully I'll be able to shut them down when I become Kanto's champion.
