Now that we have Pokeballs, let's go to Route 102 and get our first new Team Member!
I go into some nearby grass, and what do I find?
Some stupid little worm... I throw a Scratch or two to weaken them, throw a Pokeball, and get my second party member!
I'm naming him Smeags.
After an impromptu training session on Route 101 to toughen Smeags up. A bunch of level 2 and 3 Zigzagoons and Wurmples later, along with frequent trips to the Pkmn Center for regular healing, and the team is at levels 7 and 8. Combined with Smeags's evolution, and I should be ready for Route 102.
The first trainer goes down after a surprisingly tough fight. Both Piconjo and Smeags were necessary.
The Bug Catcher after him goes down easily under Smeags's assault. Of course, that doesn't stop me from hurrying back to the Cernter after every trainer battle. Anyway, I grab the berries and hurry through the route, not stopping for any treasures like that Potion I know is around there somewhere. I heal at the center, and then it's time to go to the gym for the mandatory Pokemon Catching tutorial.
*5 Minutes Later*
Man, that was boring! Something about a noob catching a Ralts and my Dad waiting until I was ready to face him. Huh. Anyhow, on to Route 104!
Nice, some varriety! I'm naming her Rol.
Anyhow, that's enough for tonight. Any suggestions for nicknames, male or female? Tips for using my new team? Etc?
