I just beat Estaban(Brock), who was a Fighting type leader. His level 14 Machoke gave my Ralts a problem, but it wasn't awful. No losses.
On my way up from Viridian, I did lose Lowett,I thought I had the fight. 3x Sand Attacks and Bide still hit. It was a stupid risk, and I deserved to lose for taking it.
On my way to Mt. Moon, I'll post an update once I'm through Mt. Moon, then again before my fight with the second gym leader..
