Um...SURPRISE!
So I really did intend to only have one new teammate before taking on Whitney. However, while searching for my Yanma, the elusive 1% Pokemon I was speaking of, I found that I could get onto Route 36 and catch the Pokemon I wanted to earlier (for some reason, I thought you could only go to Route 35). So on Route 36 I caught my Vulpix, Vivi, with pretty much no trouble at all.
Then I went Yanma hunting. And it was rather annoying, but you know what? It took me longer to catch my Onix. So, while it was annoying at the time, I know it could have been much worse. I also wasted all my Pokeballs trying to catch the thing and decided that, before I threw Great Balls, I'd throw the two Lure Balls I had. Well, I caught my Yanma Chopper in a Lure Ball...Totally makes sense...
If you didn't notice, my team's nicknames have a running theme to them. I always pick a theme for my Pokemon's nicknames, and this time I decided to go with characters from the anime One Piece. So yes, Chopper is the name of a character. I didn't name my Yanma after a helicopter.
But anyway, I did some massive training with Vivi and Chopper and basically left Zoro and Nami in the dust because I'm a mean person. I got the radio card for my Pokegear and went off to battle Whitney. Her Clefairy was a joke, but her Miltank did give me a bit of trouble - damn that stupid Rollout! (shakes fist) But Nami dealt the finishing blow, Whitney whined a lot, and I got my third badge. HOORAY!!
I'm right now at the National Park to do a bit more training, after which I plan to wake up that Sudowoodo and open up the way back to Violet City. New team member coming rather soon! :D
Til next time, ciao!
