No type advantage (Joshua's Growlithe)

(Um, if you're here, then you missed quite a lot of opportunities to get some pretty good Pokemon, but whatever, I'll just say that the battle was a little bit harder than expected, but he only has one Pokemon and you have, well, more than 1.)

"Looks like I needed an item too," he says before handing you $624.

(Well, from here, there are a couple of options you can take at this point. You can either battle an optional Trainer, trek through the tall grass beyond the bridge, or just continue on. It may take a while for me to continue on as of 2/19/17)
