Pokemon SoulSilver - The Cerulean Gym

I went back to Cerulean City to heal my team at the Pokemon Center, then I went to the Cerulean Gym to battle Misty.

My team consisted of:

Edward (Electabuzz, Electric, Lv. 53)
Seth (Victreebel, Grass/Poison, Lv. 53)
Claire (Gengar, Ghost/Poison, Lv. 53)
Samuel (Infernape, Fire/Fighting, Lv. 53)
Blake (Feraligatr, Water, Lv. 53)
Rayquaza (Dragon/Flying, Lv. 71)

I went inside the Gym, and spotted people hanging around, Swimmers and Sailors. I decided to fight a Sailor next to the pool first. He sent out Horsea, and I sent out Edward, and a Thunderbolt took it down easily. Seadra was sent out next, and another Thunderbolt took it down and won the battle.

I decided to get to Misty through the pool, and thus through a few Swimmers. The first had a Golduck who went down quick with a Thunder Punch. The second Swimmer had a Cloyster who went down easily to Thunderbolt. The third Swimmer had a pair of Seaking who were also beaten easily, and Edward grew to Level 54!

Finally I went up against Misty. She had been expecting me, of course, and told me not to take her too lightly. Misty sent out Golduck, and I sent out Edward. Edward used Thunderbolt for an instant knock-out, then Quagsire was sent out and I sent Seth out against it. Seth used Leaf Blade for massive damage, and Quagsire went down instantly thanks to it's double-weakness to Grass-Type moves.

Lapras was sent out next, and I decided to keep Seth in the fight. Seth used Leaf Blade for massive damage, but it clung on to counter with Ice Beam for massive damage. Misty used a Full Restore to heal Lapras, then Seth hit it with Leaf Blade again for massive damage. I switched to Edward, and Lapras was given another Full Restore to heal. Edward used Thunderbolt for massive damage, and Lapras became paralyzed, unable to move. Edward finished off Lapras with Thunder Punch before it could be healed again.

Starmie was sent out last, and I kept Edward in the fight. Edward used Thunderbolt against it for massive damage, and it barely clung on. Starmie used a Sitrus Berry to restore some health, then countered with Ice Beam for good damage. Edward knocked Starmie out with Thunder Punch, and won the battle!

After the battle, Misty handed over the Cascade Badge, and also gave me TM03 (Water Pulse) for my victory. Misty asked if Johto had powerful trainers, and told me she would someday go on a journey to battle with powerful Trainers.

I went back to the Pokemon Center to heal Edward and Seth, and wondered how much longer this journey through the Indigo league would take. I was glad to be done with the odd Gyms of the Johto League, and happy to fight a normal variety of Pokemon in the Indigo League Gyms, but still I wanted to continue through to the next game soon.
