Pokemon SoulSilver - Fuchsia City and the Fuchsia Gym

There wasn't much to see in Fuchsia City, aside from Pal Park which allowed for the transfer of Pokemon from previous games. I decided that the only thing for me to do was to go to the Fuchsia Gym and get my fifth Indigo League Badge.

My team consisted of:

Blake (Feraligatr, Water, Lv. 54)
Seth (Victreebel, Grass/Poison, Lv. 54)
Edward (Electabuzz, Electric, Lv. 55)
Claire (Gengar, Ghost/Poison, Lv. 54)
Samuel (Infernape, Fire/Fighting, Lv. 55)
Rayquaza (Dragon/Flying, Lv. 71)

I went inside, and was told by the adviser that all the Trainers inside looked like the Gym Leader, and I would have to find out which one was the real one. I walked forward, and bumped into an almost invisible wall. I realized I would need to navigate an invisible maze if I wanted to find the Gym Leader through all the duplicates.

I went to the right and up, and the first Trainer I came across was a duplicate. She sent out Nidoqueen while I sent out Blake, and a couple Ice Fang attacks took it down. The second Trainer was a camper who sent out Nidoking, and Blake knocked it out easily with Ice Fang. The third Trainer was another duplicate, and Blake and Samuel both took down their team.

The fourth Trainer turned out to be the real Janine, Gym Leader of the Fuchsia Gym. Janine sent Crobat out first, and I sent Blake out against it. Crobat used Confuse Ray to confuse Blake, and Blake hurt himself in his confusion. Blake snapped out of confusion the next turn and used Ice Fang for massive damage, before getting hit by Wing Attack for good damage. Crobat used Confuse Ray again, and Blake hurt himself in his confusion.

I sent out Edward and he got hit by Wing Attack for minor damage, then he got hit by Supersonic to become confused, and hurt himself in his confusion. Crobat used Wing Attack again for good damage, then Edward struck it down with Thunderbolt. Blake grew to Level 55, and Edward gained some decent experience too.

Next up I sent out Claire, and Janine sent out Weezing. Claire hit Weezing with Shadow Ball for massive damage, and it countered with Sludge Bomb for minor damage. Janine used a Full Restore to heal it, then Claire used Hypnosis to put it to sleep. Claire used Dream Eater for massive damage that knocked out Weezing while also healing Claire of all damage.

I sent out Samuel when Janine sent out Ariados, and he used Flame Wheel against it for an instant knock-out, then Samuel grew to Level 56! Venomoth was sent out next, and I kept Samuel in the fight. Samuel used Flame Wheel for massive damage which knocked it out instantly. Another Ariados was sent out, and I kept Samuel going. Samuel used Flame Wheel for massive damage, and Ariados went down instantly, and I won the battle!

Janine gave me the Soul Badge, and she handed over TM84 (Poison Jab) as well. She told me she would apply herself, determined to become better than her father and me. I left to the Pokemon Center to heal my team, ready to continue my journey.
