No Psychic-types? I recommend trying to get an Abra when you get to Goldenrod. They're hard to catch but very worth it. I know it doesn't really help now, but it's something to keep in mind.

In the meantime, I guess the next time I have to go out to intimidate them from getting too close to the inn I'm staying at, I'll try to see if Starswirl can talk to one of them. May as well faint two Flying-types with one Rock attack.

Did I just say that last part out loud?
