Made my way across Mt Moon and into Cerulean City. Forgot about Misty not being in her Gym to start off with, so after wandering round an empty swimming pool for a bit went off to the Cape. Got past the 6 trainers plus the guy waiting at the end with little effort. After finding Misty turned round and headed back to the City. After Ensuine's clues about a the whereabouts of Sucunie had been hoping to find it up at the Cape, but guess I'll have to re-think that one. Might try popping up there again after beating Misty and seeing if that makes any difference.
Anyway, the Gym battle went well again. Pikachu got through all the warm up trainers, although couldn't really match up to any of Misty's Pokemon and ended up fainting early on against Golduck, who then was healed. Haunter came in and did a good job, getting Golduck's HP right down, but was taken out by a couple of Water Pulses. This battle was all about Snorlax though. After finishing off Golduck, he quickly put down Quagsire, who in days gone by would have presented a massive problem for my team. Decided to switch to Typlosion against Lapras, since the Ice type balanced things out. Misty got a bit lucky in confusing Typlosion with a Water Pulse, so decided to play it safe and drop Snorlax back in. Despite getting paralyzed and confused he still managed to finish off Lapras. Was then used as a wall while I revived Haunter and healed Typlosion in perpetration for facing Starmie. In a similar performance to what Tentacruel did against Brock, Snorlax didn't just hang on in. After absorbing Starmies' attacks, was able to go on the offensive for a couple of turns and dish out a real good amount of damage. If it wasn't for the paralysis would probably have been able to finish it there and then. Anyway, by the time he fainted Snorlax had ensured the battle was pretty much over and all that remained was for Typlosion to come in and finish it off with a Swift.
Another badge and another good win. As expected, Haunter and Pikachu are proving to be the weak links in the team, but with the others working so effectively together I see no need to change things around. Both are Pokemon I really like and can be quite effective against trainers on the road.
