Zen and I weren’t as prepared as we could have been for the Cerulean City gym. We managed a win on luck alone, but I wasn’t very comfortable with the idea. I made a promise to train harder before our next gym battle. We were still only a team of trainer and one Pokémon after all…
Once Zen and I had battled with the other new trainers, and healed up, we set out on our own path through Route One.
We saw plenty of Pokémon that would have many new trainers rushing to capture them, but we wanted to make the best team of them all. So we battled, built up our strengths and explored our weaknesses.
We did pick up a small ally for a while in an Oddish we traded a Rattata for. Without Oddish’s help we probably wouldn’t have beat Brock in Pewter.
But Oddish wasn’t happy with battling other trainers, so we let him go, we hope he never was captured again…
