The journey to Vermillion City begins with an infuriating incident with a Butterfree on Route 6. I can say I rotated everyone in and out at least once just to avoid getting raped-shanked by Poison or Sleep Powder. Gah, that was a long few minutes. But, other than that, Richard and A'Tuin perform flawlessly and I make a beeline to Route 11 when I enter the city to see what Pokemon the Random Number God will grace me with.
Sauraz the Sandshrew is his name and he is the real star of today's story. He first showed up at level 14 and throughout Route 11 and all those fiesty trainers on the S.S Anne he did not know the meaning of defeat, or even the near death experience. Sauraz is inordinately fast for a Sandshrew and has no trouble at all taking on Cloysters and Tentacools that would bring a lesser hamster-shrew down.
But then again, perhaps my memory is tainted by the grief. Gary Oak comes along again to ruin my day, like you wouldn't believe. Sauraz takes care of Pidgeotto no problem but I just had to go and get cocky. I'm faster than his Ivysaur, it won't be a problem. Or so I think. Bam! He gets that first Scratch off, no problem. One more hit and that leafy green menace is down for the count right? WRONG. A critical super effective vine whip teaches me the meaning of caution another time. A wise man would learn by now...but apparently I don't. I suspect my bad decision making has something to do with the innumerable distractions in the lounge while I'm at this but it is no excuse. Richard and A'tuin are my only real winners, once again. Hyper Fang chews through Kadabra and Raticate like nobodies business.
With very little time for grief I realize that what I need now is an ace-in-the-hole against Lt. Surges Electric types. Digletts dig in Diglett cave. I catch a Diglett, level 20, name him Rocksteady (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsoRbzdXKRw) and head for the Gym. Cierra looks like she needs to cut down some trees for me so she gets cut so I can get to the Gym itself.
Rocksteady decimates electric Pokemon like its nothing with Dig and Magnitude. Even Lt. Surge is looking easy, when Rocksteady and Raichu face off. I go in for the Magnitude. Magnitude...3. Raichu's double team and Quick Attack take care of the rest. That's another monster down for the count. Raticate subs in and once again I rely on Hyper Fang. Sad day, but at least my run goes on.
Time to head for Rock Tunnel...after I talk to some weirdo talk to me about his Rapidash in exchange for a Bike Voucher anyway. He talks too much, but at least I catch another Voltorb I name Bobby Boom on Route 9/10 on the way. Now to go back and fight all those trainers I skipped near Diglett cave and on Route 9 to train him and see how it goes...
