Alright. It's gym time.
And by Gym Time, I mean
grinding time.
Far too much grinding later,
It's time to take on the world. The first brutal gym in a long series of difficult battles.
Stare pensively at the stone for mental preparedness.
So I guess this is a birdkeeping gym. I have no super effective attacks here, but I'm sure I'll do fine.
One shotted. But his Pidgy was also level 9, so the leader's pokémon are probably much stronger.
SighC'mon Toad. Concentrate on it. I'm sure with enough mental focus you can figure out how to aggressively thrust your face at things. So a HootHoot is born knowing how to tackle but not peck? Who designed these Eugenics, John Madden?
And then he bought a lottery ticket and stocks in Microsoft.
After many fierce battles and grueling effort, ColonelKR has learned how to bite slightly harder. It took him 13 levels to realize he could be biting things harder.
Unbelievable.
In the midst of my grinding, I got a call from that "good buddy" of mine.
Rattatafight.
You go, ColonelKR. You bite that guy extra super hard.
And so it goes. Perhaps he's finally learned the futility of his actions.
Aaaaand back to grinding.
Well look at that. I managed to make a Chikorita
less intimidating.
And poisonous. Surely lethal poison is a reasonable thing for a ten year old who doesn't even have a gym badge yet to have access to.
What, did you forget you had teeth?
Real team full of winners, here.
Finally done grinding. Thank god for
emulator speedup sweet, virtuous patience.
And just for good measure before I go attempt the first gym,
If I was any older I'd get arrested for beating this kid up so many times.
OH WELLGym Time. Gettin Fit all up in the gym.
Thanks. Gonna tell me your credit card number, too?
Well look at this. Fights with two pokemon. Big man.
Two hyper fangs and not a scratch on me. This whole biting thing is really working for me.
No no, Rod. Not gaah.
GutsLet's go, hairdo.
Falkner has poor taste in pants.
He's only got a level 7 pidgey?
There we go.
Here's the big fight.
Boy. Sure is fair in here.
9 whole levels of cherished.
Guess they just ran out of vowels for these badges.
Hyper Fang 2: Bite HarderNow is when we either keep a closer eye on Toad, or invest in some pixelly blurring technology. Where do the Japanese get theirs? Gotta make some phone calls.
So if I need to do any sexy mud wrestling, I am now prepared. Thanks, Falker. Go think about your loss by writing books or something.
CLIFFHANGER.
WHAT COULD IT BE.
SURELY NOT A POKéMON.
