Here we are in Fuschia City, home of the Safari Park. I'm challenging Koga so I can use surf and get the hell out of this town. Training seemed more monotonous than usual, and since I accidentally challenged gyms out of order, Koga should be no match for me.

The team, as you can see, remains mostly unchanged from the battle with Sabrina. Ordinarily I would've leveled them up to at least sixty, but the low-level mons made it too much a chore. Eager to get to Cinnabar Island -- with its mansion ideal for level-grinding --- I decide to take on Koga without lot of training.

He's taken aback that someone as inexperienced as I am would dare tackle him.

Eris starts us off, thunderbolting this Koffing to death.

The name made it sound like a ferret, so I figured Eris could just zap her away. I winced when I saw it; looks like a Rock-type, at least. It doesn't take to electricity well, though.

Oh, f-

Stupid...rock-thing.

Toxic, then sleep powd - heey, Koga's withdrawing him?

...ookay, use a water-type against a grass-type. What do you call a trainer who does that? NOT A VERY GOOD TRAINER.

Only...Razor Leaf doesn't do much. It makes a little dent, but damn: it should've KO'd Gaia's rival.

What in the...

TAKE THAT! God, I love this bird. He's my revenge weapon.

And now the Electrode comes back.... :-(

Nobody faints Matthias and lives!

...why didn't I change pokemon? "Oh, it's just a bug," I said. Bugs aren't impressed by his fighting techniques.

VENGEANCE BIRD STRIKES AGAIN!

Maybe I should just let Drei handle the rest of Koga's team...and maybe I should start THINKING in this match instead of fighting by the seat of my pants.

The Bat from Hell survived, and used a Confuse Ray on Dre. The silly bird pecked himself stupid.

As did Hornblower. o_O
Well, that's my entire team...I lost. :-/

Or...DID I?

This is what I was doing while Blastoise punched himself to death.

...no, I haven't. That was an abysmal performance on my part, although a streak of bad luck didn't help: Blastoise and Dreikopf injured themselves every turn they were confused.

...go team.
Oh, well. We're off to Cinnabar Island for some real training.
