Did a load of grinding, but that fight with Archie in the volcano was horrible. Crunch and two Super Potions nearly killed SPLASH and Spiky.
Pulled out Wonder, nearly died to Crunch again but managed to kill the blasted thing before scaring me with the harmed by spiky skin bit.
Managed to get to Lavaridge Town without any encounters. Kakyoin is pretty useless and would have died instantly.
And the next gym is fire-type. Should go smoothly.
