I still feel like I'm outpacing the game a little bit, and Koga's gym was another easy go. His dojo has those famous invisible walls, but if you stare hard enough at the tiles, you can see where they are.
I actually tried to get through Sabrina's gym before heading down to Koga, but her battlers were definitely above my level. I did manage to clean out Silph Co. of the Team Rocket hostile takeover, and I grabbed a free Hitmonchan from the Fighting Club. Suckas.
I took the northward route up Cycling Road, wiping out all the bikers I could find. Not a lot of pain there, just a bunch of Weezings, mostly. At the top of Cycling Road is a Scientist with an Amulet Coin for you. Now I'm working to catch the Snorlax blocking the path east, just because I want to snag a couple of the brutes.
Wartortle evolved into a Blastoise... they do grow up fast. Since I now have some nicely fat pokemon heading my party, I decided it was time to switch in some lowlies for training. I'm leading with a Safari Zone Venonat at the moment, with the idea that his evolved form - Venomoth - will be my designated Flyer. Never worked much with a Venomoth before, so I'm looking forward to it.
Of course, the ultimate lowly is Magikarp. This is a pokemon who won't even learn a simple Tackle attack until level 15. But we all know why we bother with 'karps, don't we?
And of all the crazy things, a guy back at Silph Co. gave me a Lapras. Nice. Although I don't understand why the pokedex would still credit me as the original trainer when I received it as a gift.
