Update #1: I named myself Green and my rival Yellow(couldn't think of anything else). With my mom's permission, I ventured to the wild grasses of Route 1, and guess which pedophile decides to scare me. None other than Professor Oak, my next door creeper. He takes me to his lab to pick a starter. Of course, I choose Squirtle, nicknaming it Blasty. After Yellow jealously picks Bulbasaur, he challenges me to a battle, and he got his ass whooped. After certain errands have been completed and a bit of grinding, I decided to go battle Yellow again. Attempt #1: Yellow beats me because his favorite move is the god almighty SAND-ATTACK!!!!! More grinding later to Lvl.11(first attempt was at Lvl.10). Attempt #2: Same as #1, Yellow spammed sand-attack like hell. Gwah!!!!! With Yellow being a *****, I moved on for now, into the forest. At this point, I'm mad because I can't beat Yellow. The first trainer poisoned me, but I was able to heal it off. Second trainer also poisoned me, but had no way to heal it off. Rushing to the PokeCenter, I was a few steps away when..... Blasty fainted! Blasty fainted for the third time, I was very unlucky right now. Continuing through the Viridian Forest, I battled the last trainer, who also poisoned me. Why are these trainers too lucky with poison heading!!!!!!!!!! At least me and Blasty were near Pewter City, so Blasty got healed there. Backtracking to Yellow, I decided to show him who was boss. Attempt #3: Wow, what luck I got. I got a crit hit bubble on his Pidgey, and surprisingly enough, Yellow only used Sand-Attack once, and out came Bulbasaur, who always neat Blasty. Thank you Sand-Attack for making this battle harder then it should've been. With 15 HP left, leeched seeded, and my accuracy lowered, I decide to use tackle and..... got a crit hit which fainted Bulbasaur. Finally, Yellow was defeated again. God, that sucked. Back in Pewter City, Blasty and I went to flood the gym with our water techniques, and, indeed, Blasty rocked the gym like a hurricane. If you have no idea of the outcome of the battle against Brock, in simple words, he got owned, bad. Literally, he never hit me, thanks to Water Gun. That is all I have for now, but I'll update more. Blasty is Lvl.15, about to evolve, and he knows the moves Tackle, Tail Whip, Bubble, and Water Gun. Man, what a day. # of badges: 1 Kan to badge. See you later with more updates. :)
