James Plays Pokemon, Day 3

Beat Erika with 2 Vulpix, Weepinbell, Sandrew, R'hllor, and Pig (needed Sandrew's Cut just to get inside the gym; he didn't do any actual fighting). At least one of the fights turned into an Epic Wrap Battle between Weepinbell and an enemy that knew Wrap.

Then we found a hidden house and got Fly! YES! ...unfortunately we don't have the badge to use it yet. NO!

Picked up an Eevee and evolved her into Vaporeon. Also named her Asha.

With Asha taking Vulpix's old spot, we raced through Rocket HQ, and then back to Vermilion to beat Lt. Surge and learn to fly.

And then came the grim realization that this team relies far too much on normal-type attacks to handle the ghost tower in Lavender Town. To be continued.

I love it when this happens.
