Chapter 8: Ethan had a little Mareep
It was time to continue to route 32. This would be a very long route but would take me to Azelea Town.
I walked a bit then encountered a Pokémon.
Mareep
053
Electric Type
Wool Pokémon
2'00" (0.6 m)
17.2 lbs (7.8 kg)
If static electricity builds in its body, its fleece doubles in volume. Touching it will shock you.
I sent out Geodude. Geodude used Tackle which did quite a bit of damage to Mareep. Mareep used Tackle back. Surprise surprise, didn't do very much. I decided to a throw a Pokeball.
One shake.
Two shakes.
Three shakes.
IT'S MINE!
Violet City was just north, so I quickly popped back to the Pokémon Centre there and then continued.
I soon came across a Trainer as well, Youngster Albert.
His first Pokemon was Rattata. I sent out Geodude to deal with this. Geodude used Tackle on Rattata. This almost knocked it out. Rattata came back with a Tackle of its own. (Pokémon sure like tackling Geodude don't they?). Geodude used Tackle once again. This knocked out Rattata.
Next was Zubat.
Zubat
037
Poison/Flying Type
Bat Pokémon
2'07"
16.5 lbs
Capable of flying safely in dark places, it emits ultrasonic cries to check for any obstacles.
I was about to have Geodude use Tackle again, but instead Geodude picked up a Rock and threw it at Zubat. Geodude had learned Rock Throw! This knocked out Zubat instantly.
Shortly after that, it was getting late. Once again, this was a long route.
