No time to dilly-dally in the land of Pewter. We're off to the next site of our sightseeing tour. First, however, I encounter Corrik:


However, all was not a loss - Corrik's defeat lent me enough experience to evolve Eisenhower into a real Commander-in-Chief:


I ran into an unnamed Youngster. I wonder who this really is?


Trying to grind up some levels resulted in several trips back to the Poke Center. Let me just tell you one thing about this series - if your game doesn't have the Running Shoes and I have to walk across screens like this, I am going to downvote the hell out of your title:


Meet Quincy, my Pidgey:


I eventually reached the Poke Center outside of Mt. Moon, and I was greeted by a very reputable looking businessman who offered me a rare Pokemon for just 500 PokeBucks. Hell yeah, thought I, until I saw what my greed hath brought unto me:


Naturally I wanted my money bank. Gerald Ford was a terrible President, and I deserved something in at least a size 16. Sadly, it was not meant to be.


Fuck you, President peddler!

I moved into Mt. Moon at this point and I ran into Corrik again. Naturally, we battle once more, but this time he didn't seem to be paying too much attention:


I caught President Buchanan on the first floor:


Good ol' Garfield was around a couple of bends after Buchanan:


Trainers here were pretty rough on poor ol' Eisenhower, especially those with Leech Life laden Zubats, so I made a few trips in and out. During one such trip, I found Ulysses S. Grant:


Hikers look like Samoan Santa Clauses:


I would like to know how a Team Rocket member can break the laws of physics in Pokemon:


Also, Team Rocket's introduction is sudden and uninteresting. You almost don't even realize there's any difference between those guys and the regular trainers in this tunnel. Frankly, they are all assholes who assault you for little to no reason. As I pushed on, it was interesting how much I really did remember about the game. Who needs an Itemfinder when you can just remember little nuggets like this?


Made it through the last trainer with a little difficulty. Congrats on living long enough to get the EXP there, Eisenhower!


Made my fossil choice and then ditched the Super Nerd (TM) for greener pastures:


On the path outside of Mt. Moon, Jackie Kennedy did a thing:


Thought about visiting the reclusive Pokemaniac I heard about north of Cerulean, but as soon as I started on that trek, Wickle jumped me:


Holy shit, Wickle, learn2Pokemon. You can't use Teleport in a Trainer Battle:


Eventually I beat Wickle's team (including landing the killing blow on Charmander with Eisenhower) and he relented:
