When I started looking about the city, I quickly found Mr. Psychic's House. I went inside, and went up to the man, who just stared at me for a little bit before he decided I wanted TM29 (Psychic) and handed it over. I offered no complaints as I pocketed the TM, then left.
I walked the streets, looking at all the buildings around the city, and soon found myself in front of Silph Co. I went inside, hoping to explore the building of this major company, but because of the issues of electricity at the Power Plant, the elevator going up wasn't working. I couldn't tour the building, but the security guard at the elevator felt sorry for me wasting my time to visit, and he handed over Up-Grade, an item to make Porygon evolve.
I soon came across the house of the Copycat Girl. I noticed a Blissey downstairs before I went up the stairs to meet her. Immediately she dressed like me, and started trying to talk like me, then she got out of the costume. I told her to stop mimicking but she told me it was her main hobby. I checked out some of her Poke Dolls, and noticed one was a real Pokemon, a Banette. A curious find from the Hoenn Region, I wondered how she had managed to find it in Kanto.
I went ahead and visited the Magnet Train Station, but because of problems at the Power Plant I couldn't go back to visit Johto. I wasn't too worried though, the S.S. Aqua could take me back whenever I wanted. I went to do a bit more exploring, and I found the Poke' Mart. I grabbed all the items Mom had bought for me from the Deliveryman, then oddly enough I found TWO different Gyms. One on the right, a normal-looking Pokemon Gym, and then one on the left, an old building with a sign similar to a standard Gym.
I decided to check on this old Gym first, and found a man at the back of the room. He told me that the Karate King, the Fighting Dojo's master, was training in Johto. It seems I had found the Fighting Dojo, but without a master the building was going unused. I didn't know what exactly it would be used for to begin with, but there wasn't a point in spending more time there, and I left.
I went inside the Saffron Gym, and found it to be a high-tech facility. I was in a small room, with a warp tile at the corner. I would have to navigate several rooms through different warp tiles to reach the Psychic Gym Leader at the end. I wasn't in a rush to get to the end, because I wasn't sure how strong the Gym Leader would be. I knew my team needed more training, and the Trainers around Kanto had proved they wouldn't be much help.
I first found myself against a Medium who sent out Bronzor, and I sent out Claire. Claire used Shadow Ball for massive damage, then Bronzor used Safeguard. Claire hit Bronzor with Shadow Ball again and knocked it out, then Hypno was sent out next. Claire used Shadow Ball to knock out Hypno, and she grew to Level 51 before the battle ended.
I went onto a warp tile, and found myself in another battle against a Psychic, and I sent out Claire against his Kadabra. Claire used Shadow Ball to knock it out, then Girafarig was sent out next. Claire's Shadow Ball wouldn't affect Girafarig, then it used Skill Swap against her to switch abilities. I switched Blake out, and Girafarig used Skill Swap to switch abilities with Blake. Blake used Crunch for massive damage, and Girafarig just barely hung on before using Skill Swap again. Blake finished it off with Ice Fang, and the battle was won.
I went onto another warp gate and found myself against another Psychic. I sent out Blake against the Psychic's Mr. Mime, and Crunch did massive damage to knock it out, then Blake grew to Level 52. Exeggcute was sent out next, and Blake stayed in the fight. Blake used Crunch for massive damage, and knocked it out instantly, and he did the same for another Exeggcute that was sent out, and the battle was over.
I went onto another warp gate and fought against another Medium, and Blake went through her team with no problems. I wandered around the rest of the warp gates through several rooms before I found myself before the Gym Leader, Sabrina. She said she knew I was coming, that she had a vision of my arrival 3 years ago. Sabrina told me she doesn't enjoy battling, but it's her duty as a Gym Leader to give Badges to whoever has proven themselves worthy.
Sabrina started the battle with Espeon, and I sent out Claire. Claire used Shadow Ball for massive damage, and Espeon barely clung on to use Psychic for massive damage, and Claire went down hard. I sent out Blake, and Sabrina used a Full Restore to heal Espeon fully before Blake used Crunch for massive damage and also lowered it's defense! Espeon used Psychic for massive damage, but Blake finished it off with another Crunch.
Alakazam was sent out next, and I kept Blake in the fight. Alakazam used Energy Ball for massive damage, and knocked out Blake. I sent Edward out next, and Alakazam used Reflect to increase it's defense before Edward hit it with Thunder Punch to knock it out in a single critical blow!
Mr. Mime was the last one out, and I decided to keep Edward in the fight. Edward hit Mr. Mime with Thunder Punch for good damage before it used Light Screen to increase it's special defense. Edward used Thunderbolt next for good damage, then Mr. Mime used Mimic to learn Thunderbolt. I had Edward use Flash to lower it's accuracy, but Mr. Mime managed to land Psychic for great damage.
Edward used Thunder Punch on Mr. Mime again for great damage, and it became paralyzed, stopped from action because of it. Edward hit Mr. Mime again with Thunder Punch, and that knocked it out and won the battle!
After the battle, Sabrina told me that my power far exceeded what she foresaw. She pondered that perhaps the future was impossible to fully predict, and she handed over the Marsh Badge. She realized that my power was beyond her psychic abilities, and she handed over TM48 (Skill Swap) which allows the user to swap abilities with the target.
Another battle done and I left the Saffron Gym, and got a call from Baoba. He told me he came up with new objects, and with them I should be able to meet lots of different Pokemon. I remembered the call I got from Baoba before I went on the S.S. Aqua, and I realized I needed to head back to the Safari Zone to find out what he was talking about.
Two Badges down, 6 more to go. I just hope the rest go more smoothly than this did!
