Gotta Train 'Em All Part 1 - Gym 5

ROUTE 38 - GYM 5

Another pretty uneventful trek to Olivine, but on the way Slugma learned Recover at lv 24 and Ancient Power at 26. Ancient Power is a good move for him since he is heavy on Sp Atk. But its PP is only 5. God willing, he'll learn Power Gem. Skiploom learned Leech Seed at lv 24, which replaced Poisonpowder and evolved into Jumpluff at 27. Drowzee learned Psybeam at 26 and then immediately evolved into Hypno.

The Olivine Lighthouse was a breeze. Jumpluff got a chance to strut his stuff while surfing (I taught Surf to Psyduck) down Route 40 and 41. He grew to lv 30 by the time I reached Cianwood City. Quick note: using moves that drain HP from Tentacool is inadvisable. He sometimes has the ability of Clear Jelly, which hurts your Pokemon instead of healing it.

Hypno handled most of the junior trainers in Chuck's Fighting type gym. Shuckle finished off Poliwrath when Hypno was not up to the task.
