I looked around Goldenrod this afternoon and got the bike. Then, I got some training done on the routes north & south of the city in preparation for the next Gym battle. I also participated in the Bug Catching Contest, where I caught a Weedle (only won the consolation prize, though).
Next, I took on the Goldenrod Gym. My Poliwag went up against Whitney's Clefairy and defeated it with Water Gun after putting it to sleep with Hypnosis. For Miltank, I had my Quilava lower its stats with Smokescreen and Leer, then brought in Flaaffy to Thunder Wave it. After that, I went over to Sandshrew, and eventually took down Miltank with Scratch (fortunately, Sandshrew didn't lose too many turns due to Attract).
After receiving my third badge, I picked up the SquirtBottle and headed to the Sudowoodo on Route 36. I battled it with Flaaffy and caught it. Soon after that, I made it to Ecruteak City, where I met Bill in the Pokemon Center.
I then spent some time earning money for Game Corner coins. I rematched a few trainers who called me and sold some things. Once I nearly had enough money, I returned to the Game Corner and won some more coins from the card flip game to make up the difference. Then, I bought the remaining coins I needed and purchased a Dratini for my team! I was totally broke afterwards, but I really want a Dragonite on my team. ^_^
With that done, I returned to Ecruteak and then went out to Route 38. In the grass, I quickly found my final team member: Miltank. I weakened it down and caught it on the first Poke Ball.
Finally, I went into the Burned Tower. I defeated my rival and evolved Sandshrew into Sandslash before saving.
