Before I went to battle Sabrina, I completed a few actions. First, I fished up a Poliwhirl in Celadon City.
Second, I trained up Slowpoke north of Vermillion City, finishing it up in the Pokemon Tower, evolving it to Slowbro.
Third, before I went to the Saffron Gym, I collected Psychic from Mr. Psychic, giving it to Lapras.
These actions allowed me to:
Trade Poliwhirl for Jynx in Cerulean City and Slowbro for Lickitung in the Route 18 gateway. Following those actions, I set up to take on Sabrina. Let's Go!
My Team for this Gym was:
Charizard (Level 41)
Jolteon (Level 41)
Snorlax (Level 41)
Hitmonlee (Level 40)-Got it to Level 41 in the Gym
Lapras (Level 40)-Got it to Level 41 in the Gym
Dodrio (Level 40)-Got it to Level 41 in the Gym
The Warp Tiles were difficult, but they allowed me to travel around and train more, getting me ready for Sabrina. Surprisingly, I was able to use Charizard (Level 41) in the entire fight. Sabrina opened with Kadabra (Level 38). Curious, I tried Ember, which barely did anything. Kadabra used Psybeam, which did some damage. Switching tactics, I Slashed it, leading to a fainting of Kadabra. Next was Mr. Mime (Level 37), who liked to use Confusion. One Slash took it down. Next came Venomoth (Level 38). Why would she have a Venomoth? There are plenty of Psychic Types in the game, some of which are shown by her trainers. It makes no sense! Anyway, Venomoth used Poison Powder, which Poisoned Charizard, but Charizard took Venomoth down with Ember. Charizard was weakened, but still able to battle. As her final Pokemon, Sabrina sent out Alakazam (Level 43), who was hit by a Slash that almost took it out. Hanging on, Alakazam used Psywave, which, combined with Poison chip damage, almost defeated Charizard. With one final Slash, Alakazam fell, winning me the 6th Badge. Was a bit surprised she didn't stall out by using Recover on Kadabra and Alakazam or use a Screen & Barrier strategy.
Oh well, I now have 6 Badges. I also used a Full Heal to remove the Poison damage so I could get out of the Gym safely. In the next Log, we will go through Routes 19, 20, & do some captures in the Seafoam Islands. Until the next time, we will see you!
