Kanto Part 6: Flooding the Gym

With 2 badges in hand, we make our way towards the 7th gym on Cinnabar Island. First, we stop on Route 21 to pick up a new encounter.

New Pokemon

Species: Tangela

Name: Sia

Nature: Serious
Ability: Chlorophyll

I focused on training Skrillex here because I knew he wouldn't get many opportunities in Victory Road for grinding. Skrillex grew from level 39 to 41 on this route and we arrived on the island.

After a quick heal, we headed towards the Pokemon Lab to revive one of our two fossils. I chose not to revive Lord Helix because I already had LLCoolJ and felt Aerodactyl would be a better fit with the team if I needed to replace someone.

New Pokemon

Species: Aerodactyl

Name: Jagger

Nature: Adamant
Ability: Pressure

Next, we headed to the Pokemon Mansion where we failed our encounter and quickly ran to the basement and picked up the key. I avoided many of the trainers in this area because I wanted to use this area for grinding later.

Cinnabar Island Showdown

I did choose to fight all the trainers in Blaine's gym to get a few extra levels on LL before he faced off against Blaine. This battle was one of the least stressful gym battles I had. I decided the best play was to solo his team with LL. It only took him 6 surfs and 1 hyper potion to run through Blaine's team.

After the battle, Bill needed some help on the Sevii Islands. We decided to join him, mostly because we couldn't progress if we didn't. This part of the game was kind of pointless, just allowed me to get a few encounters and do a bit of training.
