I made my way to Goldenrod City and in Ilex Forest I caught a Paras and named her Hemione. Then on Route 34 I caught a Drowzee who I named Pavlov. In Golden Rod City, I traded Pavlov for a Machop named Muscle. I also manage to get enough coins from VoltorbFlip to get a Dratini whom I named Drogon.

Afterward, I cleared out the gym and decided to take Muscle and Mary to fight Whitney. She's one I was worried about. I give Muscle a Metronome as a held item. He takes out the Clefairy in one hit, no problem. But then... comes out the Miltank. Stomp. Stomp. Flinch. Stomp. Dead. Muscle is down in no time at all. I send out Mary. Stomp. Paralysis. Lum Berry eaten. Thunder Shock. Stomp. Stomp. Dead. I'm wiped. NuzLocke over.

I'm honestly not sure how I should have approached this battle with the given rule set. Whitney's Miltank is just too strong for two equal leveled pokemon to take out. She's a very tough trainer. That Lum Berry didn't help her that much, since static activated on the first turn. And I feel like if I had lasted another turn, she would've just used a Super Potion. Mary just wasn't doing enough damage.

R.I.P.
