Chapter 57: Trainers that block the path

I started off the walk down Route 26 by battling a Cool Trainer named Joyce. A battle started.

Joyce first used Pikachu. Obviously, this got me really excited. I sent out Graveler to take it on. Pikachu used Slam on Graveler, but it didn't do much. Graveler came back with Magnitude 6. It did quite a bit, but a stronger Magnitude could have been good. Pikachu used Slam again, but Graveler clearly had this victory in the bag. It used Magnitude again, knocking out Pikachu.

Joyce sent in her other Pokémon. A big blue Pokémon with a shell and cannons on its back.

Blastoise

234

Water Type

Shellfish Pokémon

5'03" (1.6 m)

188.5 lbs (85.5 kg)

The rocket cannons on its shell fire jets of water capable of punching holes through thick steel.

Evolved from Wartortle at Lv 36 which in turn evolves from Squirtle at Lv 16.

I switched in for Ampharos. Ampharos used ThunderPunch on Blastoise, which took it with its shell. Blastoise came back with Bite, though Ampharos took it down with one more ThunderPunch.

After some walking, I encountered another Cool Trainer called Gaven. "So, going to the League are you?" he asked. Of course I was. It was battle time.

His first Pokémon was a Victreebel.

Grass/Poison Type

Flycatcher Pokémon

5'07" (1.7 m)

34.2 lbs (15.5 kg)

This horrifying plant Pokémon attracts prey with aromatic honey, then melts them in its mouth.

Evolved from Weepinbell after subjection to a Leaf Stone which in turn evolved from Bellsprout at Lv 21.

It was Typhlosion time. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel, which did a lot. Victreebel used Razor Leaf back, but id didn't do that much. Typhlosion took it out with another Flame Wheel.

Gaven's next Pokemon was Flareon. I used Suicune for this. Gaven looked on it wonder as the Legendary Pokemon stood proud above him. Suicune used BubbleBeam which Flareon took, then came back with Bite. Once again, Suicune took it down with one more BubbleBeam.

Gaven's last Pokémon was Kingler.

Kingler

165

Water Type

Pincer Pokémon

4'03" (1.3 m)

132.3 lbs (60 kg)

It can hardly lift its massive, overgrown pincer. The pincer's size makes it difficult to aim properly.

Evolved from Krabby at Lv 28.

I sent out Ampharos to deal with Kingler. Kingler used Slam on Ampharos, which Ampharos got hit by for a fair bit of damage. Ampharos used ThunderPunch on Kingler. This took it down in one blow.

After a while, I decided to sit down and listen to DJ Mary. I was in for a surprise. "This is Mum Ethan! I want to wish you all the luck on your passage through Kanto to the Indigo Plateau!" I was slightly embarrassed. But you know what? I was happy she did that.

I battled one more Trainer that say, a Cool Trainer named Jake.

Jake sent out Parasect.

Bug/Grass Type

Mushroom Pokémon

It stays mostly in dark, damp places, the preference not of the bug, but the big mushroom son its back.

Evolved from Paras at Lv 24.

Typhlosion was sent out to Flame Wheel the poor Bug Type.

Jake's other Pokémon was Golduck.

It appears by waterways at dusk. It may use telekinetic powers if its forehead glows mysteriously.

Evolved from Psyduck at Lv 33.

I used Ampharos next. Ampharos used ThunderPunch on Psyduck. It was a Critical Hit and finished it off it one sweep.

I thanked the Trainer and walked on.

I made it. The Reception Gate. After the Gate is Victory Road. Beyond Victory Road, the Indigo Plateau. I would trek Victory Road tomorrow.
