I don't see Roark going well.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Before taking on Roark, I head up to Route 207 for my encounter, which turns out to be a Ponyta. Didnt really need another Fire type so I was hoping for a Machop (which was my second encounter), but itll work. I name it wallz. Then I head into the mines to find Roark and catch a Geodude for Heart Gold, which I named chey. I head back to the gym and take on one of the trainers for a bit of EXP, getting Lea to a nice even Level 10.

Now its time for the Roark battle. I start with Lea and use Defense Curl six times and a few Rock Polishes, then I go to work with Rock Smash. Lea was able to comfortably solo Roark, but unfortunately leveled up too much during the battle and started ignoring my commands. Luckily, Cranidos was the only thing even remotely threatening, and it only did 4 damage with Pursuit, so I was able to power throw with a defiant Lea and obtain the Coal Badge. Lea will probably not be seeing much action for awhile, but luckily she wouldnt have helped much against Gardenia anyway.

With the first badge in hand, its time to head back to Heart Gold for awhile.
