Pewter City and Brock

(In Pewter City, there aren't many places to catch wild Pokemon in the Route
4/Mt.Moon area so don't look forward to go on a Pokemon catching spree.)

As soon as you get to Pewter City please, do yourself a favor, and heal your
Pokemon at the Pokemon Center here.  You deserve it after all those tough
battles in the Viridian Forest.  After healing, head out and get your first
real view at Pewter City.  There is not much to do in Pewter City at this point
in the game.  So why don't we get ready to rumble?  If you started with a
charmander, and have no superior moves that are affective against rock, (which
is Brock the gym leader's favorite type of pokemon, and the type of pokemon he
will use in his pokemon gym,) so I suggest you stock up on potions and healing
items.  In order to complete the game, you need to get all of the 8 pokemon
badges.  You can get these by going into a Pokemon Gym, and beating the gym
leader there.

After you prepare for your first gym fight, head to the northwest of the city.
Do not go to far north though, because you won't find the Pewter City gym.  The
Pokemon Gym is almost right above the poke center.  Of course you can't get in
from the south, so go in from the north direction.  It is hard to understand,
but in the game it is much simpler than I think I make it up to be.  In the
gym, there is one trainer before the big boy "Brock."  Brock if you haven't
already guessed is the gym leader.  The trainer before Brock's status is...

After beating "Camper Liam, it is time for your first Gym battle.  If Liam got
you down even one Hit Point you should still heal no matter what your Pokemon
are.  Brock is after all a very tough first gym trainer after all.  He isn't
some kiddy piece of crap as in most video games.  After healing, head on up to
the gym once again and fight your first gym trainer.

For all gym leaders I will do a little more background information then on just
plain, regular trainers.

That's right, you have just beaten "Gym Leader Brock!"  After beating him, you
will receive Rock Tomb.  (Rock Tomb is one of the many TMs in the game.  TMs
are attack moves that you can teach your pokemon artificially, and not just
have them learn it.  Pokemon can't learn every TM however.)  You might have
seen Brock's Onix use this Tm but if not it buries a Pokemon in rocks!  It is
a great TM for this point in the game, and is especially great against fire
Pokemon.

So, after getting over your utter excitement of beating Brock, it's time to
move on to a further part in the game.  So once you beat him, walk out of
the Pokemon Gym, and now you are officially...
