Thief of Turnips

After getting the Flash HM and training up my team to about level 10 each (give or take) I decided it was about time to test our skills against the Violet City Gym Leader, Falkner.

Basic summary is that Special Agent Dale Cooper burned them all to a crisp and then evolved into a Quilava. I gave Flash to Lady Gertrude, so we went into the Dark Cave and caught a Zubat named Marvin.

After exploring the area around Violet City, Special Agent Dale Cooper and I were able to add several members to the team. These are:

-Becky the Spinarack- full name Becky Arachnid- caught on Route 32. She’s a bright and shining star who takes down the fiercest of foes with her venom.

- Gertrude the Hoothoot- full name Lady Gertrude the Just, bringer of Light in the Darkness- caught at the entrance to Route 36. She’s scared of bugs, which is a shame bc Becky Arachnid wants nothing more than to be friends.

We took some time to explore the town, and heard rumors that there were ghosts in Sprout Tower at night. It WAS night, so we decided to check it out before heading to bed. It looked like there was a whole thing the Sages of the tower wanted you to do so we decided to save it for the morning.

And here I present my First Boy. His name is Special Agent Dale Cooper, and he’s here to help me uncover the mysterious mysteries of Johto!

He was randomly selected, which is cool bc even though I like Cyndaquil well enough, I’d have probably picked either of the other starters first. But now he’s my son.

He carried me safely back and forth from New Bark Town to Cherrygrive City as we consulted Professor Elm for his scientific expertise in the mystery that a certain Mr. Pokémon wished us to investigate: The Mystery of the Egg. We obliterated every Hoothoot, every Spinarack, to cross our path.

-only catch the first Pokémon of each area (exception for shinies, legendaries, and wooper. However, these cannot be used unless they are the first Pokémon encountered in the area.)

- if a Pokémon faints, it is healed and then released. Because it dying makes me feel too sad to have fun. Shinies and starter Pokémon, if they faint, are healed and placed in a special Pokémon box.

- all Pokémon get nicknames

- only pokemon from the lowest evolution level may be caught. If the first Pokémon in an area is an evolved form, then I may catch the next Pokémon available which has not been evolved. Shiny exception applies, but cannot go on my team.
