Beating Brock with Pikachu is no easy task!
At anyrate, Day two:
I didn't feel safe with just Metal Claw. I ended up grinding him to Lv16. And As a bonus, he evolved!
Brocks Rocks crumbled under the weight of my Metal Claw attack. I only suffered one Rock Toumb, but that was teh worst of it. With a shiney new Boulderbadge, I was ready to head to Mt. Moon.
Just before getting to Mt. Moon, I was stopped by a guy claiming to be Oak's aide. he gave me the Running Shoes, so I guess he's legit. Mt. Moon it's self was pretty much a joyride. I got a Helix fossil (that i'll never use) and made a b-line to Cerulean.
This is where things get... fun
I need to get to Route 8 for Growlithe. This meant Cut, which ment the S.S. Anne. I was off to Bill's house! Once there, I had found Bill was in a bit of a pickle, and was in need of my assistance. After helping him, he gave me the S.S ticket I so desired. This opened up the path to behind the vandlised house. Charmeleon
DUG the TM that the Rocket gave me.
After arriving through the underground tunnel to Vermeleion City, I dashed straight ot the S.S. Anne. Many a trainer was faught (includeing Green) before finally getting to the Cut master/ Captin. Along the way, I found Brick Break, and taught it to my Charmeleon. Since the Captin was seasick (what?), he gave me HM01, and sent me on my merry way.
To actually use cut, I had to fight Misty, so there was a bit of backtracking.
Fighting Misty did not end well. The Staryu was easily defeated with a swift Brick Break to the... Face? This did not go so well with Starmie.I tried to Brick Break Her Starmie, but it resisted it. *facepalm* Water Pulse procedded to confuse me. :C Digging just ended up hurting me. One last Water Pulse, and Charmeleon was toast. Round two started the same: Staryu was OHKO'd by Brick Break. This time, I used Dig instead of Brick Break, and scored a crit! Misty Super potion'd, I dug, then dug agin. The Cascaide badge was mine!
The next step was to Cut my way to Rock tunnel, then proceed to stumble my way around it. I followed the walls, and eventually found my way out. In the progress Charmeleon dinged 36, and I earned my self a Charizard! Lavander Town was as depressing as uasual. But none of that mattered, Growlithe was near by, and I desperatly needed one. I found many a Growlithe, but with roar, it wasen't easy. I had to trow a Pokeball at it, becaue Charizard was Lv 39. I lucked out though and ccaught my self a Growlithe. I found the Nickname Guy and had my Charizard named Valor, and Growlithe named haste.

-Flamethrower
-Brick Break

Haste Lv 24
