Pokemon Blue Venonat Starter - Part Fourty Two
Seventh gym Blaine at Cinnabar gym time!
This is a play through of Pokemon Blue by using RetroArch to emulate the game. I am randomising the Pokemon in areas with similar strength so it isn't completely randomised, while choosing three starters of similar types
Before heading in to face the Cinnabar gym as planned, Goliath made his way back in to capture a Charmander as he remembered the master balls he had stacked.
Since it was such a high level already it would level up once to become Charmeleon and a couple of levels later, would become Charizard but for now it isn't being used. Now it was time to head in and defeat gym number seven!
Once inside you have the option of battling the trainers to unlock the door to the next section or.. you can do the quiz questions to avoid the battles!
Well Goliath started with getting the first question right and the door opened. This wasn't enough for him so he proceeded to also battle this trainer and would do so with all others after because his Pokemon were so strong.
Just this first trainer alone had four Pokemon which started with an Eevee that was ice beamed down by Dragonite before the Moltres took out Clefairy with ease.
Omastar was the cooler of the choices to face off against which of course would not be a difficult thing, when the Muk thunderbolt and then a body slam, took it out with those two hits and it was protected from horn attack doing much damage, as it has high defence.
The next trainer only had one special and awesome Pokemon in his lineup so after wiping the floor with the Geodude and Doduo, it was time for the Kabutops and the hyper beam wasn't able to take it out with one shot due to the type of Pokemon Kabutops is. So after a turn for recharging and the chance of losing a bit more health, dragon rage was able to finish it and the battle off.
There are certainly some interesting choices for trainers as seen with the next one and bringing out.. a Dugtrio!
Ice beam all the way back into the ground of course, nothing hard here and the Charmander got done by a couple of dragon rages before the Doduo and Beedrill were taken out.
It got a little tougher with the levels for the next trainer and it was likely going to get even tougher for Blaine. Level fourty one and starting with a hyper beam on drowzee before an ice beam on the Venomoth, who was still alive and used leech life but luckily, not much damage done at all!
Psyduck got off one confusion since it wasn't beaten in one shot and then Exeggcute got taken out to enable level fifty seven for the Dragonite, before the Eevee and Slowpoke were beaten as the last two for this trainer.
For Blaines first Pokemon and being at level fourty two, it was a Koffing who was coughing up the hyper beam blast that took it out.
Poliwhirl was a nice and fresher look in what got to be battled except for being weak against Muk's thunderbolt and had missed its hypnosis as well, but Sandslash had a tougher time since the Blastoise hydro pump was so much more devastating and brought level fifty four to it for this victory.
The fun started up with Blaine's last Pokemon, the level fourty seven Raichu which was giving Moltres a hard time.
It's thundershock got the better of it including inflicting paralysis on Moltres, and with some more and using super potion it saw Goliath require healing up to avoid losing his majestic, flying fire bird.
Upon coming back from healing up his Moltres into fighting fit form once more, Goliath managed to have fly hit the Raichu and do a lot of damage, enough to ensure it was taken out and secured the victory over Blaine.
He had won the seventh badge, the volcano badge and with it, the technical machine for fire blast that will be taught to the Moltres that's for sure!
