>>28465574Thanks! Here's my first real update too.
I caught Peak Beak on Route 1, lost Route 2 pick since it was another Pidgey. Did some training in Viridian Forest, and caught QT.Bee there. I went to fight my rival on Route 22, thought he had level 7's, but both his mons were Level 9, we managed though.
Unfortunately, I caught El Rato on Route 22, but he was lost immediately after to a crit scratch from a Mankey we encountered. I like Rattata, but luckily I didn't get to know him well enough for it to hurt that bad. I got plenty of Antidotes now, so here goes Virdian Forest for real.
