Conquering Route 202

———————————–

Route 202

———————————–

I had spent the night in the PokémonCenter, and now was all ready for more adventures. My friend back in Johto had promised to give me a Pokémon once I was a Trainer, so I knew I’d had to catch a Pokémon in order to trade with her. However, I decided that that Pokémon would be Bidoof. Because a) there are none of them into Johto (lucky!), and b) I had to get it for my PokéDex, but I sure as heck wasn’t going to keep it!

Anyways, I went into the grass, ready for anything.

VS.

Of course I won. Solar Rai even leveled up to 4! All his stats, except DEF, rose. But I’m sure there’s no need to worry.

Since he had won the battle on his own, his health was low, so I decided to go and heal im in the PokémonCenter. But, as expected, another battle.

VS. /

Since I was trying to help the professor out, I decided to catch at least one Starly. So, I switched out Solar Rai for Aoi Umi and weakened the bird until it was low on health. As Lucius told me, the best way to catch them.

Kijame uses1 Pokéball.

Starly joins the team!

I decided not to name it, seeing as I didn’t plan on having it with me for long. With my new Dex entry ready, I headed towards the town again. Of course, yet another battle would follow.

VS. /

Needless to say, I won. I walked as planned, and deposited Starly in PC Box 1.

left the team.

Back en route, I met with another Trainer, this time a Lass, named Nadine.

VS.

VS.

So it was her female Bidoof vs. my Solar Rai. Rai did well, but not only did the Bidoof land a critical hit, one of Rai’s Tackle attacks missed as well. Despite my worries however, he was victorious, and leveled up to Lvl. 5! In addition, he learned the Leer attack.

VS./

Her next one was also a Bidoof. That girl and I wouldn’t become best friends any time soon… >.>

I decided to use Rai’s new attack, before switching to Aoi Umi, so that Rai wouldn’t faint. Aoi made short notice of the Bidoof, so the Leer proved just as useful as Intimidate did at the beginning of the battle.

Obtained $48.

New total: $228

Well, now I’ve beaten two Trainers. I was quite happy, and it seemed like nothing would stop me, at least for now. I pondered whether not to return to the town, perhaps doing some shopping. But in the end I decided to keep on heading north. After all, Seriva wanted me to deliver a parcel to her son, and I didn’t want to keep her waiting.

The way through the next patch of grass was eventless, however, as I made my way out, I was spotted by yet another Teenage trainer. I didn’t catch his name, but the battle began nonetheless.

VS.

VS. /

My Rai was still hurt from the previous battles, so I withdrew it after one Leer. Then Aoi pummeled it into the ground with a few Pound attacks. Both Rai and Aoi leveled up! Now Aoi was Lvl. 8 and Rai was Lvl. 6. In addition, Aoi learned his first water attack, bubble!

Obtained $80.

New total: $308

I could see a sign behind a small patch of grass, so I decided to sprint for it. However, we had yet another encounter.

VS. /

With Rai still wounded, I immediately switched to Aoi. Another battle won. I could read on the sign that Jubilife was just ahead.  With that information, I decided to heal my team before finishing the exploration of Route 202. And so I hurried into the city’s PokémonCenter.
