Chapter 67: Jumpluff in the line

Celadon City. I arrived early so I could do everything I needed to then head straight back to Saffron City the same day.

I started off by going to Celadon Departmant Store to get some supplies. I got Pokeballs, Potions and that was it.

I toured a bit more and decided to check out the Celadon Mansion. It was a nice place. I went to the top floor. There was some graffiti sprayed on one of the walls. Feeling cheeky, I added a moustache.

Celadon also has its own Game Corner. Well, it was ran by Team Rocket once and Red took it down. It's now independently ran. I saw the prizes. One of them was a small green Pokémon with a red stomach.

Larvitar

244

Rock/Ground Type

Rock Skin Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

158.7 lbs (72 kg)

It feeds on soil. After it has eaten a large mountain, it will fall asleep so it can grow.

Enough messing around, it was time to take on the Gym.

There were many trainers in here. Typhlosion swept through them all and I met the Gym Leader. "I am Erika" she introduced. "Grass Types are so versatile. They are also strong. See if you can take them down!"

Erika started off with Tangela.

Tangela

179

Grass Type

Vine Pokémon

3'03" (1 m)

77.2 lbs (35 kg)

It tangles any moving thing with its vines. Their subtle shaking is ticklish if you get ensnared.

I started with Typhlosion which started with Flame Wheel. It was very powerful on Tangela and almost took it down. Tangela came back with Bind but Typhlosion took it down with one more Flame Wheel.

Next was Jumpluff, a small round blue Pokemon with three cotton balls attached to it.

Jumpluff

069

Grass/Flying Type

Cottonweed Pokémon

2'07" (0.8 m)

6.6 lbs (3 kg)

Once it catches the wind, it deftly controls its cotton-puff spores to float, even around the world.

Evolved from Skiploom at Lv 27 which in turn evolves from Hoppip at Lv 18.

Jumpluff used Cotton Spore, lowering Typhlosion speed. Typhlosion came back with Flame Wheel, but it missed. Jumpluff then used another Cotton Spore. Typhlosion used another Flame Wheel and took down Jumpluff.

Erika's next Pokémon was Victreebel. Victreebel started with Acid. This did only a bit. Typhlosion came back with Flame Wheel and did a lot of damage. Victreebel used another Acid. Typhlosion took it down with one more Flame Wheel.

Finally was Bellossom. Bellossom started gathering light. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel on Bellossom whilst it was doing this. Bellossom then fired a streak of light at Typhlosion. It was Solarbeam, the most powerful Grass Type attack! Nevertheless, Typhlosion withstood it and finished Bellossom off with one more Flame Wheel.

"Well, it looks like this match has wilted" Erika said. "Taking me down with one Pokémon. That is impressive. I bestow the Rainbow Badge and TM19 for Giga Drain. Use them both well."

I was back in Saffron by the end of the day. Tomorrow I would head north to Cerulean City.
