| This guy's pretty awesome. |
-So there seems
to be Pokémon here, at the gates, which I don’t own yet. There’s a nice variety
of them, too. I seem to have caught most of them now, except for Diglett. I’ve
seen one twice but I keep on knocking it out in one hit, my Pokémon are too
strong. Since it’s difficult to find, I’ll keep training my Pokémon and I’ll
give Exp. Share to Sandshrew so that she can level up a bit. Right now, she’s
too weak to successfully reduce Diglett’s HP to allow me to catch it. Here’s
hoping I see another one soon.
-Yeah, tell you
what, screw Diglett. I can catch the guy later. It’s off to the Safari Zone for
me.
-500 bucks to go
into the Safari Zone? I guess that’s ok, for all the rare Pokémon I will find.
It’s also a good price when you consider you get to keep all the Safari Balls
that are filled with Pokémon you caught.
-Whoa,
Kangaskhan! Those guys are aweso—and it ran away. Damn. Shortly after I meet
another one, bait it, but no success.
 |
| What are you? |
-Third Kanga and
I tried mud this time. Nope, it just makes it angry.
-So I decided to
give up on Kangaskhan for a little while and I head to other parts of the Safari
Zone. I hit a streak of good luck in the swamp and catch some poison Pokémon
such as Ekans, Koffing, and Grimer.
-Before I went
in to the SZ, the owner gave me a test to do, catch a Geodude and show it to
him. I was able to do it no problem. I showed it to him afterword and he told
me he’s working on a second text and he’ll call me back when he’s thought of
what will make a good test.
-Once more into
the Zone, off I go! I start in the mountains because I want to catch a
Larvitar.
-Alright, I
caught a Kangaskhan! What a successful day at the Safari Zone.
-I’m in Mount
Mortar and Sandshrew just evolved. Aw, yeah. He’s the same cute guy as before
but now he’s spiky.
-I’m using the
Dowsing Machine to find hidden items. So far I’ve found one Hyper Potion and
one Ultra Ball.
 |
| This loser thought he could be the next Giovanni. |
-So far Mt.
Mortar is pretty boring. The Pokémon are all around the mid teen levels and I
own all the Pokémon. I’m essentially just running around finding all the items.
I’m barely training since the Pokémon are so weak. It's kind of boring.
-Another hidden
item found. This time it’s a Max Repel.
-There’s a
random dude chilling in the middle of Mt. Mortar. All he has is a level 19
Slowpoke. No wonder he’s stuck here. Dude needs an Escape Rope.
-I caught a
Mankey. It was the simplest thing. I tossed a Quick Ball and bam, done. It’s
easier than using a Safari Ball.
-I feel like I’ve
just been wandering somewhat aimlessly for the last little while and I think it’s
time to get back into story mode. I run north towards the Lake of Rage to
find Lance and his awesome Dragonite. He brings me to the weird shack at
Mahogany Town. Let’s battle some Rocket Grunts.
-There are
statues of Persian all over and when you cross paths with it there are two
Rocket Grunts who show up and battle you one at a time. If my Pokémon were weak
I’d try and avoid it but whatever, bring on the baddies. It's good training.
-I was hoping I
would be able to cross the Persian’s path back and forth and fight the grunts
more than once but it’s only a one time deal. It also gets a little monotonous
after a while because the two grunts are the same. They just come back with
their Pokémon all healed up and fight you again and again.
-I found a
hidden Revive item!
 |
| I finally got myself a Machop. He looks super cool. |
-I also found a
switch that turned off the Persian statue alarm system. Some random grunt is
telling me they have explosives in the floors! Why would you do that? This is
your base of operation, dude. Do you like walking on explosive floors? You’re
nuts!
-So it turns out
this booby trapped floor is set with Pokémon and not explosives. I got freakin’
Voltorbs attacking me. Time for Sandslash to make himself useful, you know,
other than being a mule. Aw, poor little Voltorb’s move don’t work on
Sandslash, muahahahahaha!
-This time it’s
a Geodude. Man, what other kind of Pokémon are in this floor? Yo, Team Rocket,
do you guys have any strong Pokémon hiding in the floors? Ah, who am I kidding?
-Like an idiot I
walked onto a teleportation circle thing. Where will this lead me? Right back
at the beginning. I guess I’m walking on the booby trap floor again.
-Lance and Dragonite are on one of the floors. He takes the time to heal
my Pokémon and then he runs off ahead of me. I’ll take my time and battle as
many people as I can.
 |
| Dragonite is pretty cool but he doesn't really fit as Dratini's final form. Visually, they have nothing in common. |
-I found a Full Heal with the Dowsing Machine. I’m really enjoying using
this thing. I wonder if I can find any rare or crazy items, like evolutionary
stones or something.
-Does it seem odd to anybody else that when a Rocket Grunt loses a
battle they give you prize money? I would think that a criminal just doesn’t
give a crap.
-Hey, what’s Craphat doing here? Sup dude. I like your girlishly long
hair. He’s all moody because Lance beat him and told him he doesn’t love his
Pokémon. That’s what happens when you’re a mean trainer, bud. Dragonite takes a
big shit on your day and Hyper Beams your weak Pokémon into oblivion.
-The leader here, Petrel, is a Giovanni impostor. Giovanni was the
leader of Team Rocket in the first generation of Pokémon. Petrel had a Murkrow
in his office and it’s running around now. I’m following it to the true leader
of this operation.
-I just reached was seems to be the end of this Team Rocket adventure.
So far I’ve mostly been using Ampharos and Sandslash but I’m switching
Feraligatr to my lead spot. I want to let him fight some stronger Pokémon, you
know, to let him stretch his legs a little.
-This lady, Ariana shows up with one of her grunts. They challenge me to
a double battle but Lance comes along and backs me up. Come on Dragonite, show
me your stuff!
 |
| Ariana, a Team Rocket Executive. |
-Oh wow, Dragonite is at level 40 and Feraligatr is at level 39. Not too
bad, eh Lance? All in all Dragonite was helpful but he only did damage every
second turn because he only used Fly. We
win the double battle without too much effort.
-There is a machine sending out the powerful radio signal that made the
Magikarp evolve into the Red Gyarados. The machine seems to be powered by
Electrodes. I’m going to have to battle them. I could use Sandslash but I think
I’d rather use Growlithe, because why not?
-Wait a minute, can I catch one of these? Let’s give it a try. Ampharos
switches out with Growlithe and paralyzes Electrode. I catch it after two
tossed Ultra Balls.
-Because I did a super job, Lance gives me HM Whirlpool.
-As soon as I exit the base I get a call from the owner of the Safari
Zone. He’s got the second test ready for me. Well, I’m going to fly to Kurt so
he can give me my new Poké Balls and then I’ll fly to the Safari Zone. Or maybe
I’ll go to the gym.
