NitroLightningFlash's Pokemon Leaf Green Adventure-Part 11
Upon entry into Saffron City, i noticed there were Team Rocket members everywhere who had blocked off entry into several places, including Saffron City Gym so couldn’t battle there yet. As i looked around, i noticed there was one house that wasn’t blocked off so i went in and the person there gave me TM Psychic, which i could of given Venomoth, but since Venomoth learns Psychic later on anyway; decided there was little point.
At the top of the city (by the Saffron City Gym), there was another building that looked like a Gym so i went in and it was a Fighting Dojo, where i had to battle all the trainers there and after winning i could get a ‘prized Fighting type Pokemon’, always up for a challenge and wanting to be a step closer to finishing the Pokedex, i agreed to battle and won thanks to Venomoths' Psybeam and resistance to Fighting Type moves. Decided to go with Hitmonchan (i just like it’s battle style more i guess and i could breed and get a Tyrogue anyway later on and get Hitmonlee too anyway), though i wouldn’t be using it on the team.
After this, i headed to the Silph Co. Building, where i cut through the shortcut way (my Pokemon were already high enough levelled i thought so didn’t want to waste time), which is; go to the 5th floor, go to the warp that’s in the room (avoiding the trainer) twice then further along the way the Card Key is. I picked it up and then went straight to the 3rd floor, battled a Team Rocket Grunt who was right next to where i had to use the Card Key, beat him and then went to the warp at the end of the room after using the Card Key on the door.
I warped to a room where my rival was waiting to battle me (i forgot about the rival being here) , Pikachu got critted right away by his level 37 Pidgeot after not quite taking Pidgeot out with Thunderbolt, so used Flareons’ Quick Attack to finish the thing off...then to my horror his level 40 Blastoise came out next (i couldn’t revive Pikachu as i had no Revives, though i thought i did) so i brought out Venomoth and used Giga Drain (which did NOTHING to Blastoise Dx), then used Sleep Powder (after he used Protect so i just went for it again -.-) to put him to sleep then just spammed Giga Drain until Blastoise fainted (got lucky there). Next he sent out his level 35 Exeggcute, to which i just used Flamethrower with Flareon and one-shotted it. Then my rival sent out his level 35 Alakazam to which i sent out my Seaking and used Horn Attack after Alakazam used Future Sight (which got Alakazam to 50% remaining HP), Alakazam used Future Sight again (i was like huh????) then Seaking used used a final Horn Attack which took Alakazam out. Finally my rival sent out his level 38 Growlithe, which got one-shotted by my Seakings’ Surf attack, so i luckily won him again...but after struggling a bit against Pidgeot and Blastoise, it showed me that i DO have to train more-maybe it would of been easier with my Parasect being here with Blastoise (but of course he’s not here right now since he’s in-training on Route 5 in the Daycare)...and maybe i should evolve Pikachu as well since there’s no Light Ball in LeafGreen i found out...
Anyway, after my rival left, i spoke to a guy who was standing in the room and he saw i wasn’t a Team Rocket member and gave me a Lapras-which isn’t useful since i have Seaking already, but i gladly took Lapras anyway (even if only for the Pokedex). After that, i quickly went to the Pokemon centre and healed up my Pokemon (to revive Pikachu), deposited Lapras and then headed back to where i was before and used the warp at the end of the room which took me to the 11th Floor and got stopped by a Team Rocket Grunt, i defeated his Cubone and Marowak with Pikachu (Hidden Power Ice for the win!!), and Drowzee with Flareons’ Bite, then used the Card Key to open the door and came face to face with Giovanni the head of Team Rocket (who had taken the President of Silph Co. hostage) and he wanted to battle us again.
He led off with his level 37 Nidorino which Seaking defeated with Surf. Giovannis’ level 41 (?!) Nidoqueen was next which again got defeated by Seakings’ Surf, then Flail (though Nidoqueens’ Body Slam paralysed him first). Then he sent out his level 35 Kangaskhan which Pikachu three-shotted with Brick Break. Finally Giovanni sent out his level 37 Rhyhorn and i sent out Seaking again. Rhyhorn used Rock Blast, then Seaking used Surf which critted and defeated Rhyhorn (not sure if the critical hit mattered). Then after defeat, Giovanni left again.
After defeating him, i went to the President who was thankful for our help in saving Silph, and as a reward; he gave me a Master Ball (which may prove useful later on), and i left Silph Co, healed my Pokemon and now we’re getting ready to face Sabrina at the Saffron City Gym, though we’re likely to go back to Silph Co. and pick up all the items we’ve missed.
