*pale* H-holy ****, the Psychic-type Gym....

...I'm not going to screw around with not grinding in the future. I went 'WHEE, I'm a big macho Trainer who doesn't need any of that petty grinding any more', and it nearly cost me the match. Mainly because I ran in blind and so didn't realize she had a level FORTY-THREE Alakazam waiting in the wings. Highest Pokemon on my team? L38.

And when you're L38, a L38 Kadabra hits like a *****. Particularly on CRITICALS. And remember, this is Gen 1, so it critical-hits 20% of the time courtesy of its obscene base speed. D:

...Y-yeah, how about I grind a little for Koga, eh? D: 

(In all fairness, my team was majorly slowed down by the lack of supereffective hits. This isn't a problem for Koga, who will have Monarch, Ambassador, Reservoir, and LEERSPEAR all hammering on him at once. But holy sheeeeesh, Sabrina...)
