>>21369157Got it. I can tell I at least need to get Caterpie and Pidgeotto on my own.
>>21369038We go into Viridian Forest, Team Rocket fights us (double battle this time, both Koffing and Ekans are Lv. 8), later we find the Samurai, with a Lv. 10 Pinsir and Lv. 8 Metapod, they kinda butcher the episode's plot there since he goes "Beedrill are coming, run!" but there are no Beedrill and as soon as we get into the house he goes "I hope you learned your lesson." and we get into Pewter.
There's a man selling rocks, I assume Brock's father, as well as a house with all of Brock's siblings.
Brock himself has just an Onix. I started using Sand-Attack and Tail Whip to take it down, but when it was at .25 Defenses it still took almost no damage. I opened up the ROM, and this Onix is hacked to have stats of 70/90/255/60/90/140, for 705 BST. I can tell I'm supposed to lose this fight, but I decided to win just to see what happens. It treats you as having lost anyway; better than the alternative of the game breaking. Brock's Dad appears afterward and tells me to follow him.
