[Gou comes on screen, and her Plusle's hanging out on her shoulder. Looks like he's catching a nap.]

Hey, what level should these guys be before trying to take on a gym? There's one in Violet, right? We're -- uh, Makoto-senpai and me -- are heading that way, and it seems like it'd be really fun to do!

[She glances over at the Plusle, still napping.]

Oh, and what kind of nickname would you give a Pidgey? She's in her pokeball right now, but I can't seem to think of anything good right now. There's a lotta pressure, I mean, I'm gonna be calling it that every battle from now on...

I mean, I guess they could go without one, but... it seems a little easier to have nicknames, especially if I might end up with doubles or triples of the same type.

Uh, I think that's everything... [The red pikachu (yeah, she's still internally calling it that sometimes) shifts a bit, rubbing the electric pouhcy bit riiight across her shoulder-- meaning, shock time.] Ow! Jeez, watch it, Piccolo! [She binks him in the forehead.] That's for other pokemon, not me--

[Video over.]

Unfortunately, I'm traveling through Kanto, so I don't know about training places in Johto. Though if you train on all the routes which you travel in, you should be fine. Also challenging the trainers on the way helps.

Hmm... Yeah, I think I can do that!

Oh, do you have any of the badges from over there?

Not yet, no. I'm still getting prepared from the first gym.

How many pokemon do you have on your team? You could probably take them on with one if you've got the type advantage in your favor, but it's still best to have some variety in case things go south, right?

I still don't have very many. Just six so far. Though my starter is a water-type and the first gym is a Rock-type one, so that would be easy.

Oooh! I think the first gym over here's flying types.

Oh. Well, in that case that little Pokémon you have will be just fine, once it's on high enough level.

Yes, I hope so! Extra training never hurts, either!

Yeah, training's always a good idea. That and maybe a backup plan with other suitable types against flying ones... rock or ice, maybe?

It looks like there's a few caves not too far from Violet City, so I'll probably check them out!

That sounds like a good plan. I'm sure you'll find good partners there, too.
