Chapter 4: Let there be Rock Types

I thanked Mr Pokémon and went up Route 31, Pokémon in tow.

I wanted to specifically head to Dark Cave for some training and catching. So, I walked through the tall grass and sure enough, a Pokémon attacked.

Metapod

025

Bug Type

Cocoon Pokémon

2'04" (0.7m)

21.8 lbs (9.9 kg)

Inside the shell, it is soft and weak as it prepares to evolve. It stays motionless in the shell.

Evolved from Caterpie at lv 7

I wanted to give Hoothoot a go. Hoothoot used Tackle on Metapod, and Metapod used Harden. Hoothoot used Tackle again, but this did less damage because of Metapod's increased Defence. Metapod used Harden again. It was at this point where I realised that this was pretty much all that Metapod could do.

It seemed like forever but Metapod finally went down. Afterwards, I apologised to Hoothoot for wasting its time.

I continued walking through the grass when another Pokémon popped out.

Kakuna

028

Bug/Poison Type

Cocoon Pokémon

2'00" (0.6m)

22 lbs (10 kg)

From this form, it will grow into an adult. As its body becomes softer, the external shell hardens.

Evolved from Weedle at Lv 7.

I looked at that entry again. "The external shell HARDENS". Deciding that I didn't want to put Hoothoot through that again, I booked it.

I soon reached it, Dark Cave. It would defiantly be worth catching a Pokémon here.

Surely enough, I ran into one.

Geodude

034

Rock/Ground Type

Rock Pokémon

1'04" (0.4 m)

44.1 lbs (20 kg)

It uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths. It swings its fists around if angered.

I knew both my Pokemon were at a disadvantage, but I sent out Cyndaquil because it was stronger than Hoothoot. Cyndaquil used Tackle which wasn't very effective and Geodude used it back. It went on like this for a few times and I decided to throw a Pokeball.

One shake.

Two shakes.

A third shake.

Geodude caught!

This was great! I had another friend on me!

Well, that was a good day. Well, aside from those darn Bug Types.
