Keeping this pretty basic. I'll add flavor later.

Started with Piplup. Nicknamed Pengu.

First battle with Rival (named Spaz) ended in success with no help from Turtwig being annoying with Withdraw.

Made it to Sandgem. Bough five Pokeballs. No more from this store.

Encountered first Pokémon. ... Damnit, Bidoof. Captured Bidoof. Nicknamed Tard. Level 2 male.

Went back to Verity Lakefront. Encountered Starly. Level 2 Female. Captured. Nicknamed Lia.

Headed back to town to tell "Mom" I'll be going away.

Leveling up Pokémon to decent levels.

Lia levels up a few times in trainer battles. Learns Wing Attack and Double Team.

Route 204 new Pokémon! Abra! Threw Pokeball immediately and by a miracle, Abra was caught! Male, level 4. Nickname Mage.

Oreburgh Gate Pokémon encounter! First encounter was a Psyduck. Female, level 5. Threw Pokéball, caught. Nicknamed Daisy.

Oreburgh Mine Pokémon encounter! First encounter was a Geodude. Male. Level 6. Caught. Nicknamed Disco Stu.

To the gym! Yeah!

Fought the Gym Leader with Tard. Switched to Pengu to give Tard some exp when Cranidos came up. Cranidos used Pursuit, killing poor Tard. Finished Cranidos with Pengu's bubble.
