Editors Note: This is the fourth diary in a 5 day Pokémon face-off between Console Deal team members Nat & Gaz. Check out how the guys did yesterday.

A Tale of Two Gamers, Pokemon Red/Blue Challenge Day 4

Nat: Day 4

Nat, under the bridge

Learning my lesson from the previous day, I quickly healed up in the Poke centre before heading back to face Misty. With Kakuna firmly relegated to the bottom of the pack, and Wartortle and Zubat well aware that failure is not acceptable, we destroyed Misty's Pokemon is a display of utter carnage.

There's so much talking in this game...

My prize for beating Misty was the Cascade Badge which would allow Pokemon up to level 30 to obey me. If I pick up the pace, this could prove very useful in my journey to beat Gaz, become the best Pokemon trainer of all time.

Unfortunately, I had no idea where to head next, so I made my way north towards Sea Cottage and Nugget Bridge. Standing on the bridge (seriously, these people just stand there and nobody thinks it is weird) were five opponents. I eliminated them leaving the last trainer barely alive so he could tell others of the destruction that occurred on this bridge this day. I also received a Nugget for all of this.

Future generations will talk of this bridge in fear

Following the road down, I stumbled upon Bill's cottage, where a Pokemon informed me that he was actually the brilliant Pokemon researcher Bill. Apparently, he was doing an experiment on teleportation which went badly wrong, and he needs my help to turn him back human.

This guy is a genius? Really?

I figure this must be the work of natural selection and leave him be, another 24 hours won't kill him.

Gaz: Day 4

A bright new world

After dispatching numerous “GENTLEMEN”, “LASSES” and “SAILORS”, I find myself alone in the lower decks, heading for a stairwell on the far side. Just as I’m about to enter it, who should appear but my old nemesis himself... NAT. It seems I can’t bump into him without having a Poké-tussle, and this time is no exception.
