Sorry this is late. I need to put some reminder somewhere that I'm supposed to update this.

Disclaimer: Pokémon, along with any people, places or things from it are not mine, nor do I claim it to be. The only thing I do own is myself and the dream this all started from.

I walked around the trainer I had just fought and continued to take the pathway to the west, since the exit was in that general direction. I, of course, ended up hitting a dead end, so I backtracked and took the first path to the north I came across.

Eventually the path I took led me to the west again, which, again, put me in the correct direction. I battled a bird keeper, Perry, at the end of this western walkway, easily taking out his Flying type Pokémon with Poliwhirl's Ice Beam. Poliwhirl levelled up during this battle.

I continued through the path behind the trainer to the west, leading me to Route 14. I battled another bird keeper, Carter, which levelled Poliwhirl up again. Then I turned to the south, then to the east. I then turned to the south again, and then west, battled Bird Keeper Mitch, then headed south and east again. A final turn to the south finally brought me out of the annoying maze.

Outside of the maze I took on another two bird keepers, Marlon and Beck. Poliwhirl had no trouble knocking their Pokémon out even though he had exhausted all power from his Ice Beam, leaving him unable to use it. I used a Hypnosis and Brick Break strategy. Through the course of these battles Poliwhirl gained another two levels, putting him at level 29.

Now that I was out of the maze I wasn't too keen on going back into it, but I felt like I should go and battle the rest of the trainers to get Poliwhirl up to level 37 to match Venusaur and Fearow.

I only fought four more battles while going back through the maze. Biker Jared, Picnicker Valerie, Beauty Sheila, and Beauty Lola were my opponents, who Poliwhirl had no trouble fighting against. I'd say that the highlight of the battles was when Poliwhirl took out two level 30 Poliwags that were a level higher than he was. After that battle he gained a level though, making him level 30 as well.

Once I had finished off the last trainer on the route I noticed that it was already getting pretty late. The maze seemed to be bigger than I had thought. I decided that I would spend the night out in the tent, though I could fly back to Lavender. It would take too long to get back here tomorrow. I went back through the maze and pitched my tent near the exit in almost pitch darkness.

The next morning I set off to the south along Route 14 and early on ran into another bird keeper, Donald. I figured out that after a night's rest Poliwhirl had the energy to use Ice Beam again. It was probably because they let your Pokémon rest at the PokéCenters, so if you actually let them rest they would heal themselves.

I continued along and ran into yet another bird keeper, Benny. These two routes seemed to be the cool hangout spot for bird keepers of the Kanto region. After defeating this bird keeper Poliwhirl levelled up again, bringing him up to level 31.

For the first time in a while I was challenged to a double battle against twins Kiri and Jan. It was an easy battle for Poliwhirl and Fearow to fight, a Charmander and a Squirtle at level 29. The Charmander was down after two Water Guns. The Squirtle, however, used Protect over and over again, making the battle an annoyance.

I next went west, ignoring the northern path for now, though I would come back to battle the trainers up there if I needed to. There were two paths to take along the western route, Route 15. I chose to cut down a tree and go along the northern part of the route first, and would go along the southern part afterward.

I fought Picnicker Becky, Crush Kin Ron and Mya, and Picnicker Celia and picked up the TM for Rain Dance along this northern area. Poliwhirl also grew to level 32.

I next went through the southern part of the route, fighting against Biker Ernest, Biker Alex, Beauty Grace, Beauty Olivia, Picnicker Kindra, Bird Keeper Chester, Bird Keeper Edwin, and Picnicker Yazmin. Throughout these battles Poliwhirl grew up a few levels to level 36 teaching him Body Slam replacing Hypnosis, and Fearow gained a level to level 38 as well because of the odd whirlwind that hit.

I was now happy about where Poliwhirl was level-wise, so I continued on into Fuchsia City and over to the Pokémon Center to heal my Pokémon up. As I was leaving the Center I bumped into Dana.

"Oh, hey," she said as she stepped out of the doorway, "You're here."

"Yeah," I responded, "When did you get here?"

"Samantha, Paula and I traveled together from Lavender," Dana replied, "We've been here for about a day and a half. Samantha and Paula already left though."

I nodded, though I was a little disappointed. I wanted to battle them again, "Why did you spend so long here?"

"Safari Zone," Dana answered simply, "Both Paula and I wanted a Pokémon from there."

"Have you seen Ashley and Alicia?" I asked.

"No," Dana responded, "Not since Celadon actually. We didn't catch up with them in Lavender."

"Oh," I said, remembering something I had thought about earlier, "Did you have to rescue Mr. Fuji to get the PokéFlute?"

"Nope," said Dana, confirming my suspicions, "But we did have a bit of trouble with waking a Snorlax."

I chuckled, "How did you manage?"

"Mr. Fuji heard our horrible attempts to play the song to wake Snorlax, so he helped us out," Dana explained.

"Well," I said through stifled laughter, "I think I'm off to the Safari Zone myself. There's a Pokémon in there I want."

"How many do you have now?" Dana asked me.

"Four, plus my HM slave," I answered, "I caught a Poliwag after I got the Super Rod."

Dana laughed, "So did I. I also caught a Gastly, which is now a Haunter, and a Scyther. You didn't know I caught a Growlithe earlier as well."

"Wow," I exclaimed, "Full team now!"

"Yup!" Dana announced proudly.

"Any chance you want to evolve your Haunter?" I asked.

Dana thought for a minute, "I'm not too sure. I think I may want to keep him as a Haunter, at least for now. I remember that there were rumours on the internet that Haunter gained experience faster than Gengar."

I nodded, "I'm sure it isn't true, but I remember a similar rumour about Kadabra and Alakazam, which is why I'm waiting until just before the elite four to evolve him. Anyway, it was nice seeing you." I then exited the Pokémon Center.
