>>43671879Decided to just go for it and take on Erika right away. She didn't give me much trouble at all, although her Victreebel's Razor Leaf scared me a bit, what with the almost guaranteed crits. Half-way on badges, woo!
After that I mopped the floor with everyone in Pokemon Tower, took on both Snorlaxes (caught the one south of Lavender, killed the other one), and got fly for Pidgeotto, which means he FINALLY has a flying move now lol.
Oh, and Ivysaur evolved. Yee
