Upon arriving at Cianwood, the first thing I did was get the Secret Potion for Amphy. That is why I was there, after all! With the bag of medicine safely with me, I decided to go north and check out the rest of the island. There is a cave here, though I can't do anything with it yet, so I walked to the extreme north, where Suicune was waiting for me! It jumped around, then sped off. A man came up to me, reintroducing himself as Eusine. He was the guy from the Burned Tower with Morty.
He told me he had been chasing down Suicune for 10 Years, and had been insulted to see that Suicune was interested in me. Did I insult his honor or something? He isn't an old timey southern gentleman. Anyway, he believed that Suicune would watch the fight and upon him winning, Suicune would see him as worthy, despite the fact that Suicune had just left. Anyway, I had to take the delusional man on. In the Gen II games, he was known as Mystery Man. He opened with Drowzee, which I easily took down, to which he changed to Electrode. Electrode is fast, and I had to switch my team around to beat it, due to the super accurate Thunder attacks! WTF! He gets accurate attacks! Anyway, eventually (I think Espeon took it down), Espeon finished his Haunter. Defeated, Eusine turned around and left just as quickly as he came. Strange man, wearing a cape. Moving on.
Wanting a Ampharos, I decided to train in the water, getting my team to Level 30 finally. Cianwood has a MAJOR Tentacool and Tentacruel problem! No wonder people don't readily or easily come there! The one good thing about the Tentacruel is that they give a lot of experience for training. Once I had my team ready to go, I took on the Cianwood Gym, since it was the only major thing left to do on the island directly.
Chuck is a Fighting type Gym Leader. For this fight, I decided to have Espeon and Togetic as my main battlers, with Ampharos as my backup, especially for the Poliwrath. The Gym was unique, requiring me to face down all of his trainers to get access to the switch to stop the waterfall pouring over Chuck's head. Espeon and Togetic easily dispatched the trainers, leaving Chuck still under the waterfall. One movement of the waterfall later and an angry Chuck took me on! I opened with Togetic because Espeon had gotten a lot of experience battling the trainers and he opened with Primeape. I am just surprised that Chuck only has 2 Pokemon and that they are KANTO Pokemon, with no Johto ones included. That is strange.
Anyway, Primeape attempted to set up using Double Team, but Extrasensory took it down with no issue. He sent out Poliwrath in response. Poliwrath can be a nightmare if you are asleep or paralyzed, since it can use Dynamic Punch, an absolutely devastating move. Dynamic Punch fails if the opposing Pokemon is faster. I switched to Ampharos, which dodged the Hypnosis, then just kept Thunder Punching its way to victory over Chuck. Fifth Badge down!
Upon leaving the Gym, a woman came up to me and introduced herself as Chuck's wife. She gave me Fly as a reward for winning, then said Chuck was too chubby and needed to work out. I then headed off to get Shuckie. Unfortunately, there is no Krabby for Voltorb trade here. I think it is in Olivine.
The trainer that owns Shuckie was apparently attacked by Silver, who stole his other Pokemon. The Gold and Silver games state that the other Pokemon was Sneasel. The trainer gave Shuckie to me for safe keeping. Shuckle is a defensive tank, with the highest defense of any Pokemon. Unfortunately, Shuckie has no good level up moves, so I am going to travel with Shuckie until I get to Mahogany Town. Then I will travel back to Cianwood and drop it off again.
In the next log, we will head back to the Lighthouse and drop off the medicine. Until then, we will see you!
