Update log #2
Currently on Route 2 awaiting my next pokemon! In no time, I encounter my next partner: an Eevee! I managed to catch him and named him Stevey. Because my challenge includes randomized abilities, this Eevee in particular had Suction Cups as its ability. Maybe the game was telling me to evolve it into a Vaporeon...
I wanted to get this Eevee leveled ASAP. Unfortunately, a Fearow came along with Shadow Tag and fury attacked poor Stevey to death...goodbye Stevey, we hardly knew ya. I sent Stevey to Box 1 entitled "Heaven." R.I.P.
I was eager to capture another pokemon while in Viridian Forest; however, I stumbled across a Mew. There was no way I could have captured it, so I had to let that one go sadly. After I emerged from the forest, I arrived in Pewter City.
The battle against Brock went off without a hitch. I just grind way too much. ;-; On the way to Route 3, I finally received the running shoes. Thank goodness because I was spamming the speed up button too much. On this route, I caught a Gligar and named her Vinnie. Now it was her turn to gain some levels. Let's see if we manage to run into another shadow tag/arena trap pokemon...
After battling hoards of trainers, I arrived at the Pokecenter at the entrance of Mt. Moon. There, I found the Magikarp Man! I gladly paid 500 Poke for the pokemon. The pokemon I bought was a Swablu and I named him Q-Tip because of all that fluff.
While traveling about in Mt. Moon, Q-Tip died while I was trying to train him up. Looks like another loss for our hero. :( After gaining several levels and having multiple near death experiences, I ended up in Cerulean City.
