Lavender Town

Grave site of pokemon, I’m told. After talking around town I hear there’s a problem with ghosts and the rocket gang in the tower nearby. But I won’t be able to see the ghosts unless I get one of those new silph scopes.

Maybe I should go to that big department store in Celadon City, they probably sell them.

Route 8

There’s a fair few trainers around here, an opportunity to get Doug and Snoozie caught up with the team. Oh and a patch of grass, recruiting time! A vulpix!

“Vulpix: A fox with many tails. Oh it breathes fire too”

Welcome to the team Mozilla! Sorry but it’s the bench for you right now.

Well that’s all the trainers dealt with, Doug and Snoozie still need a bit more training.

There, we’ve gotten stronger for the experience:

Snoozie ♀ Lv. 20

Doug ♂ Lv. 20

T.N.T Lv. 28

Fred ♂ Lv. 28

Peri ♀ Lv. 27

Max ♂ Lv. 27

Again the guard at the gate house won’t let me pass so I’ll have to take another oddly convenient tunnel path.

Route 7

Oh boy another chance to recruit!

“Nope”

Nothing new to catch here too?

“Yep”

Damn. Oh well I guess we just carry on.

Celadon City

This mansion looks like a nice place to visit, let’s have a look inside!

Some old lady just gave me tea, I don’t like tea but thanks I guess?

There’s a bunch of guys upstairs too, they say weird things like how they drew me and stuff.

“Dude, walk away. Now.”

What? Why?

“They’ll break the 4th wall!”

The fourth what?

“Just move on!”

OK fine. So I make it to the roof, a quick hop over the fence (seriously, who would walk all the way downstairs, around to the back of the building and all the way back upstairs?) and we get to a classroom with some guy inside.

“Don’t talk to him either”

Fine, oh but there’s a free pokemon here!

“Eevee: Some sort of cutesy fox-thing”

Looks like he might be handy if we ever get into a tight spot. I’ll name him Backup Bob, welcome to the team! Sorry but you’ll probably spend a while on the bench.

So I looked around the department store and they weren’t selling silph scopes. I guess I’ll get something to eat in that diner. Some guy at the diner just gave me a coin case, it’s for the casino.

Well I guess I’m going to the casino!

I checked the prizes, but I can’t buy any pokemon here. Who’s that over there by that crumpled poster?

Rocket gang!
