I walked out of the building to go to the first Gym. I knew I would need a fire type for the Gym because grass types. So I fought and caught Phoenix the Growlithe on Route 3.....after bashing in Hop's Pokemon. I beat up a little schoolboy to further my way and met up with Sonia who told me about Chairman Rose's energy producing factory. Okay. I continue on my way to the mines. I beat up a Rolycoly and a worker. I found 3 GREAT BALLS!! 3!!!! GREAT BALLS!!!!!!! I went further into the mine avoiding one of the other workers. I fought another worker. Bashed her in with Crybaby. I caught Batgirl the Woobat in the mines so that was neat. I beat the final worker and defeated Bede.

I battled 2 Electrikes and an Eevee. I caught none. I healed up my Pokemon and went to level up Phoenix since he was my only fire type. I fought a few trainers and wild Pokemon and I must say. I went back to the Pokemon Center like 3 times. I did some more grinding and went into the Gym. I finished the Gym Mission. Yay. Milo brought out his first Pokemon and Phoenix 2 shotted it. Milo's Eldegloss came out and Dynamaxed. I Dynamaxed Phoenix and he beat the Eldegloss. Barely. Grass Badge obtained. On to my Water Badge.
