At the time I made my last post, I had only half an hour left of Saturday. After picking up Kenya the Spearow from the gate guard, I hustled to the National Park and managed to get into Saturday's Bug-Catching Contest, where I caught a Butterfree. (I didn't even place in the contest. Some guy with a Weedle beat me, although first and second place went to a Pinsir and Scyther, respectively.)
I now had two full days to wait before I could compete in another Bug-Catching Contest on Tuesday, so I spent that time training my new Butterfree and exploring the National Park while it wasn't holding a Contest. I quickly discovered that Sleep Powder + CompoundEyes = beastly. When Butterfree caught up to Heracross on level, I started training both evenly, and when I finished battling trainers in the area, Heracross learned Brick Break.
With a great Fighting-type attack in my arsenal, I went back to Goldenrod City and cleared the Gym. Finally, a Gym Leader I was able to beat on my first try! Miltank (the only pokémon in the Gym who lasted long enough to act) liked using Stomp, and was faster than Heracross, so I could have had trouble with it, but luckily Heracross never flinched.
The Plain Badge let me obtain the SquirtBottle, and the SquirtBottle let me battle that pesky Sudowoodo. I wound up catching it, for no real reason, and then I went back to the Violet City area and rid myself of Kenya.
When Tuesday rolled around, I returned to the National Park and this time bagged a Scyther, a good fifteen minutes into the twenty-minute catching time. I placed third. The winner caught a Kakuna. I hate these contests.
I headed north, raising Scyther along the way, and soon reached Ecruteak City, where I saved the Kimono Girl from harassment and got HM 3. I also picked up the Dowsing Machine, and that set me on a round trip across everywhere I'd already been to find hidden items. Now that I'm done with that, I suppose it's time to beat Morty so I can use this HM...
