I made my way past all the trainers on Rt 3 and picked up a Nidoran Male and a Zubat once I hit the cave. I used Nidoran through most of the cave so when I popped up on the other side he was already Nidorino. I also spent some time leveling up Zubat and Beedrill.

When I got to the next city I healed went to the gym and tore Misty a new one with Ivysaur. Knocked down the 2 easy gyms so time for the challenge to start.
