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.
