Took a couple days off before jumping back into with Gold.
Falkner and Bugsy went as well as I expected.
Unfortunately I knew the 2nd rival battle would be tough with the team I had at the time so I had caught a Paras before the Slowpoke well and leveled it up a bit before taking on Rival.
Lost Kyle the Paras to the rival's Croconaw after getting off a Stun Spore and 2 Scratches and Simon came in to finish the job.
As the Zubat family is my favorite pokemon line I should have not underestimated it and swapped once Simon got confused but when your half health Furret hits itself in confusion and the following Leech Life crits you lose another mon.
Now in Goldenrod going to catch everything available to me, grind up everyone to level cap, and take on the Ugly Cow and her Miltank.
