During his training, Rattata evolved into Raticate, and he caught a Drowzee and another Spearow. He found out someone was looking to trade for a Spearow, and he traded the newly caught Pokémon for a Farfetch'd named Ch'ding. He also met the Fishing Guru, who gave him an Old Rod, and went and caught a Magikarp. He then headed through Diglett Cave, catching one and making it back to Route 2, where he met someone who traded him a Mr. Mime for an Abra of his. He made his way back and healed up.
