Chapitre 36: Ch. 34 - Catch Whatever You Can
I took out my PokeDEX to look at my trainer card.

"I expected Rhyhorn to carry the team to victory but unexpectedly it was Weepinbell with its <Sleep Powder> that made it possible for me to defeat the gym leader."
"Sigh, I was underprepared for the battle but things turned out well. But I can't expect the same to happen again. I need to be fully prepared before I challenge a Gym next time."
"Good, Now that I am done with most of the tasks. I just need to quickly fill in 16 Pokemon data in my PokeDEX"
Putting away the PokeDEX, I quickly made my way to the Pokemon Center to get my Pokemon healed.
After getting my Pokemon healed up, I decided to exit the Pokemon World to grab something to eat.
"I am not going to repeat the same mistake twice" I said as I shifted from the Pokemon Center to my apartment.
Quickly getting something to eat, I re-entered the Pokemon World.
"Now that my belly is full, It is time to catch some Pokemon."
I chose to head to the east of 'Vermilion City' where 'Route 11' and 'Diglett's Cave' are located.
While walking, I came across a sign that read:
<NOTICE>
<Route 12 may be blocked off by a sleeping Pokemon.>
<Detour through Rock Tunnel to Lavender Town.>
<Vermilion Police>
'This notice is probably because of the sleeping Snorlax who is blocking the path.'
'I wonder if I will get a similar quest to wake up Snorlax as I did for cutting the Small Tree?' I thought as I moved forward.
[You have entered Route 11]

Not far from where the Notice was, I came across the entrance to the Tunner, which had a sign that read:
<Diglett's Cave>
I could enter 'Diglett's Cave' to get to 'Route 2', but I still needed to get the 'Item Finder' and complete the new task, which was to check if I could get a quest to wake Snorlax up.
'I will go to 'Route 2' after getting 'Item Finder'.'
I continued heading East, and shortly after, I was in an open space where there were many sections of Tall Grass and NPC trainers waiting for anyone to battle with.
'While I am catching Pokemon, I can also battle the NPCs to earn some money since I spent a lot when I bought the Poke Balls.'
'I also need to level up my Hoothoot and Ponyta as they are lagging behind compared to other Pokemon on my team.'
"Shit, I should have brought Abra. Using Teleport, I can save so much time." I muttered to myself as I turned back and ran to the Pokemon Center.
'I would be an Idiot if I chose to waste my time going back and forth when leveling up my Pokemon.'
[You have entered Vermilion City]
Soon, I was back at the Pokemon Center. I moved to the PC to switch my Pokemon.
'I need to level up my Hoothoot and Ponyta, so they need to be on the team.'
After a quick thinking session, I chose to temporarily replace Gyarados with Abra, since Gyarados is the highest-level Pokemon I have.
After the changes in the team, I once again made my way to 'Route 11'.
[You have entered Route 11]
"*Pant* Now then, Let the Grind begin" I said while breathing heavily from running.

[Hoothoot wants to learn the move <Defog>]
[But Hoothoot already knows four moves.]
[Should a move be deleted and replaced with <Defog>?]
"<Defog>, huh? I am not familiar with this move" I said while looking at the notification.
I chose to view its information.
[Defog : A strong wind blows away the target's obstacles such as Reflect or Light Screen. It also lowers the target's evasiveness.
Type - Flying, Status
Power : --
Accuracy : --
PP : 15
Priority : Normal
Target : Selected Adjacent Pokemon
> Can be prevented with Protect/Detect
> Can be reflected by Magic Coat
> Can be copied by Mirror Move]
"So, this move can reduce evasion and remove any protection that the opponent has. Nothing too special about this move."
I chose not to learn the move, as I do not see any immediate use for this type of move.
[Give up on learning the move <Defog>?]
[<Yes> <No>]
I pressed <Yes>.
[Hoothoot did not learn <Defog>]
Another series of notifications appeared after this.
[Hoothoot wants to learn the move <Psycho Shift>]
[But Hoothoot already knows four moves.]
[Should a move be deleted and replaced with <Psycho Shift>?]
Another unfamiliar move.
[Psycho Shift : Using its Psychic power of suggestion, the user transfers its status problem to the target.
Type - Psychic, Status
Power : --
Accuracy : 100
PP : 10
Priority : Normal
Target : Selected Adjacent Pokemon
> Can be prevented with Protect/Detect
> Can be copied by Mirror Move]
"Interesting move" I said as I looked at the move, which can transfer status problems like <Poison>, <Asleep>, <Paralyzed> to the opponent.
I chose to learn this move by replacing <Reflect>.
[Hoothoot forgot how to use <Reflect>]
[Hoothoot has learned <Psycho Shift>]

And just like that, I have defeated every NPC on 'Route 11'.
After defeating the last NPC, I chose to rest for a while.
I used Teleport to return back to the Pokemon Center and get my Pokemon healed.
[You have entered Vermilion City]
Sitting in the Pokemon Center's lounge area, I pulled out my PokeDEX to check how many more Pokemon I needed to catch.
