Pokemon Red Version (Part X)

Hello everybody. Welcome to Trainers Red Trainers, part Trainers. Today we fight lots of trainers. Oh wait, but first let's go get some stuff.

First of all, remember this lady that we saw coming out of Mt. Moon but we couldn't get to her because she was up on a ledge thinking she was too good for us? If you Surf down from north of Cerulean City, you can get over to challenge her now.

Paras Lv.31 || Grass / Bug ||  465 exp
Parasect Lv.31 || Grass / Bug ||  849 exp

Next in Vermillion City, there's this Max Ether just hanging out behind this building for some reason.

Surf across this small pond in Caladon City to get TM41 Softboiled. The only Pokemon that can use it is Chansey, and since 99.9% of people won't ever be using one on their team, you may as well go sell it.

(**Note: With Surf and Strength at your disposal, you now have access to two of the three legendary bird Pokemon, Articuno and Zapdos. They are at level 50 and incredibly tough to capture with low-level Pokemon so I have covered these in a special section written after beating the Elite Four. You don't have to wait that long if you don't want to, but the extra money you get from those fights will buy a ton of Ultra Balls which will be even more helpful than higher leveled Pokemon). 

South of Lavender town, surf over to this platform just after the guardhouse to get TM16 Pay Day. It's not a strong attack, but it will let you pick up some extra cash after the battle - if you actually have a Pokemon that can learn it, that is.

After you encounter this guy enter the house to the left and talk to the man to receive the Super Rod! At last! You can use it right away to try and get yourself a Tentacool and Krabby (as well as Goldeen and Magikarp if you haven't got them yet). A bit further south is a shrub you can cut down to access a little alcove, but before you grab the item here you have to fight a trainer.



Fisherman || ¥840
Magikarp Lv.24 || Water ||  102 exp
Magikarp Lv.24 || Water ||  102 exp

Well... at least he gave us a fair amount of money after completely wasting our time. The item ball contains an Iron.



Jr. Trainer♂ || ¥580
Nidoran♂ Lv.29 || Poison ||  372 exp
Nidorino Lv.29 || Poison ||  732 exp

Down from here, cut down another shrub to gain access to a patch of grass. You can catch Gloom or Weepinbell here depending on your version, which is a quick way to add a couple pages to your dex - just catch one and next time you're in Celadon buy a Leaf Stone and evolve it.

This next part gets a bit maze-y, and it's not really hard to get through I just don't know how well I'll be able to explain to you which trainers are where. But I'm certainly going to try. First as you enter from the right you'll see two female trainers standing side by side.



Beauty || ¥1890
Rattata Lv.27 || Normal || 328 exp
Pikachu Lv.27 || Electric || 474 exp
Rattata Lv.27 || Normal || 328 exp



Beauty || ¥2030
Clefairy Lv.29 || Normal || 421 exp
Meowth Lv.29 || Normal || 427 exp

Continuing in a straight line to the left there is a girl standing on her own facing down.



Jr. Trainer♀ || ¥600
Poliwag Lv.30 || Water || 495 exp
Poliwag Lv.30 || Water || 495 exp

And a bit west of her is another girl facing left.



Jr. Trainer♀ || ¥540
Pidgey Lv.27 || Normal / Flying || 318 exp
Meowth Lv.27 || Normal || 399 exp
Pidgey Lv.27 || Normal / Flying || 318 exp
Pidgeotto Lv.27 || Normal / Flying || 652 exp

To the southwest of the second girl is this hidden item. The sign on the other side of the fence actually tells you to look here. Go west down the path the girl is on and find the first of what will be many Bird keepers.



Bird Keeper || ¥650
Pidgey Lv.26 || Normal / Flying || 306 exp 
Pidgeotto Lv.26 || Normal / Flying || 628 exp
Spearow Lv.26 || Normal / Flying || 322 exp
Fearow Lv.26 || Normal / Flying || 901 exp

A little west of him is another hidden item. Backtrack a bit and take the paths leading upward and right until you get to one that curves left into the uppermost area. (It's northwest of the two Beauty trainers) Then head left.



Bird Keeper || ¥625
Spearow Lv.25 || Normal / Flying || 310 exp
Pidgey Lv.25 || Normal / Flying || 294 exp
Pidgey Lv.25 || Normal / Flying || 294 exp
Spearow Lv.25 || Normal / Flying || 310 exp
Spearow Lv.25 || Normal / Flying || 310 exp

From where you fight him you'll see a guy on a bike to the southwest.



Biker || ¥560
Koffing Lv.28 || Poison || 684 exp
Koffing Lv.28 || Poison || 684 exp
Koffing Lv.28 || Poison || 684 exp

Take the path below the Biker leading west.



Bird Keeper || ¥650
Pidgey Lv.26 || Normal / Flying || 306 exp 
Spearow Lv.26 || Normal / Flying || 322 exp
Pidgey Lv.26 || Normal / Flying || 306 exp 
Fearow Lv.26 || Normal / Flying || 901 exp

Then there's a guy on his own up in the northwest corner.



Bird Keeper || ¥700
Pidgey Lv.28 || Normal / Flying || 330 exp 
Doduo Lv.28 || Normal / Flying || 576 exp
Pidgeotto Lv.28 || Normal / Flying || 678 exp 

Then the guy standing south at the entrance.



Bird Keeper || ¥725
Pidgeotto Lv.29 || Normal / Flying || 702 exp 
Fearow Lv.29 || Normal / Flying || 1006 exp

You'll see another guy standing down and to the right from here.



Bird Keeper || ¥700
Spearow Lv.28 || Normal / Flying || 348 exp 
Doduo Lv.28 || Normal / Flying || 576 exp
Fearow Lv.28 || Normal / Flying || 972 exp

More trainers to the south

Koffing Lv.29 || Poison || 708 exp

Farfetch'd Lv.33 || Normal / Flying || 664 exp

Cut down the tree to the left and find two Bikers lined up (listing the one on the top first).

Koffing Lv.26 || Poison || 634 exp

Another Bird Keeper to the south.



Bird Keeper || ¥725
Spearow Lv.29 || Normal / Flying || 360 exp 
Fearow Lv.29 || Normal / Flying || 1006 exp

Cut down the shrub that's sort of in between the Biker and the Bird Keeper and head left.



Jr. Trainer♀ || ¥660
Clefairy Lv.33 || Normal || 480 exp

At the end of this path you'll find TM20 Rage. Now head aaaall the way back to the right side and jump down, and make your way left for more trainers.

And voila! We're back at Fuschia City! Upstairs in the guard station one of Professor Oak's aides will give you an Exp. All if you have obtained 50 or more species of Pokemon. This splits the exp earned between all party members, but of course they all get a reduced amount. I've never actually tried it out before, but I think I will this time and see how I feel about it.

While we're here there are just a couple other little things we can now do.

You may have seen this before when we were in the Safari Zone, but we couldn't get it without Surf. It contains a Nugget. Also, now that you have the Super Rod you have the chance of fishing up a Dratini here in the Safari Zone. And since you just have to stand still and press a button, you can spend as long trying to catch one as you want. At least, until you run out of Safari Balls.

Well, that was tedious, wasn't it? Thank you for following along, and I will see you next time!
