Jake™'s Water Challenge, Kanto: Entry #1
As you probably could guess, taking a water challenge, I chose Squirtle of my challenge...DING! You are correct! I chose my Squirtle (Nicknamed Franklin [You know that kids show based off the Franklin books? I always thought that first generation Squirtle looked like him :P]), kicked my Rival's (Named Douche) butt, and carried on to receive Oak's Parcel and deliver it to him. After gaining my Pokedex, I raised Squirtle to level 10, and took on Douche once more on Route 22, spamming Tail Whip on Bulbasaur to take it out.
I proceeded through Viridian Forest, stacking up on Antidotes beforehand, as I always get unlucky and am poisoned via Poison Sting from all the Weedles. After exiting, I was low on health, low on PP, but hit level 12.
After healing up, I proceeded to the Pewter City gym, and utterly destroyed the Junior Trainer with Bubble, then cleaned up Brock with Water Gun. I evolved Franklin in the process.
I moved up towards Mt Moon, and of course, I just HAD to pick up that AWESOME Magikarp! Obviously it is the most useful Water Pokemon EVER, so I named it Neptune (God of the Sea) accordingly. Unfortunately, I was forced to constantly switch my Pokemon to give levels to Neptune (Ahh, the irony is portrayed!), but it was alright.
After exiting Mt Moon (On the second time, that second to last Rocket with the Raticate owned me :D), I proceeded into Cerulean City, healed up, and entered Misty's gym. After beating up on the trainers inside, I healed up once more, and took on Misty. After losing once, I determined my best strategy would be to keep spamming Tail Whips and finish off her Pokemon with Tackle on Franklin. The best part? Misty would ONLY use Tackle on my Pokemon :P
Proceeding to Nugget Bridge, I pounced on all the trainers, and proceeded to save Bill, and I gained the SS Ticket and some Pokedex pages.
Defeating the Rocket with the Dig TM was also a piece of cake, and I proceeded down to Vermillion, where Neptue evolved! I am now going through the SS Anne.
