Used most of the non-sailor trainers as fodder for Wyoming to get him up to snuff to fight Surge afterwards. Fought Rival, got Cut, and unfortunately I had no HM slave available, (I caught a Diglett, but forgot they can't learn it 'til Yellow) so I taught Virginia. Further grinding led to more evolutions, and Wyoming proceeded to wreck shit at the gym like it was nothing. I expect good things from him.
Ran really back to Viridian to grab HM5, and caught a Voltorb to go with it. Picked up Georgia from the Daycare about eleven levels later and got him to evolve the rest of the way. With about two water types, one grass and a groundling, Rock Tunnel wasn't as much of a pain to get through as last time.
