Since I caught the Snorlax at Route 11, I had no need for the one at Route 16.  So I decided to see what else I could catch there...



...and found something decent.



Only one problem....Cameron killed it.



And remember that Super Rod I picked up not long ago?  Let's head back to Viridian City and see what I can catch with it....



Exactly what I wanted.



Except that it's female.  I had some good names for a male Poliwag....



Sydney the Poliwag joins the team!

BUT WAIT!  The team is full!  That means someone's about to get boxed....



...and since Poliwrath is part Fighting-type, Gina's the unlucky one.



Why?  Because I can.



Makes Water-type moves stronger, so it's useful for now.



That's good.



And that's even better!



Every Fighting-type needs a Fighting-type move, right?



On the way to Fuchsia, I passed through Route 17...



...and found another one of these.



Unlike last time, I caught this one.



Trinity the Doduo was caught!



Now that I'm in Fuchsia, there's only one thing to do...



SAFARI ZONE!!



I'm sure you can guess why I wanted to get here so badly...



Well, there's actually three reasons...

1) I hear they're giving away Surf HMs somewhere in here
2) Someone said the Warden lost his Gold Teeth in here, and though it might be a bit disgusting, I'm pretty sure he's offering a reward
3) The TRUE reason I'm here: Dratini

Remember, I'm counting each area of the Safari Zone as a separate area, so that's four chances to get one.  Let's try here at the entrance....



That's not a Dratini.



But at least I can use the Dupes Clause if needed.



Juan the Seaking was caught!



And here's Area 1.  Please let it be a Dratini....



DRATINI!!!  Please don't run away...



YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!



Eve the Dratini was caught (and will soon join the team)!



And in Area 2, this appeared.



I guess it's worth catching.



Aaron the Rhyhorn was caught!



What's so secret about it?



So THIS is where you hid the Surf HM...awesome.



Now I just got to figure out why I can't use it out of battle yet...



And finally, Area 3.



This Nidorina appeared, but it ran before I could catch it.  Damn.



I did find his teeth while in the Safari Zone, but they were so gross I decided to spare all of you from seeing them...



Ok, now where's my reward?



Good.



An HM?  Awesome!



That's for moving boulders, right?



I know what I said about Slash and Sandslash....



...but I know I'm gonna need Strength later on.



I also decided to go back to Rock Tunnel and get someone in there to teach Freddy how to use Rock Slide :D



And finally, Eve joins the team, but that means Karen's getting boxed.

Next Time: The Ninja Master

AND....

ONE SHALL FALL
