On my way through Mauville City to cross to the East side of the Hoenn Region, I ran into Wattson, who seemed to be looking for something. That something was a Pokémon trainer, and that Pokémon trainer was Triton, and that Triton is me, so I helped him out.
The repetition train stops there, I'm afraid. Continuing with "and me is/was" will only get THEM after me.

| WE SALUTE YOU SIR |
Yeah, yeah..
Wattson wanted me to go to New Mauville, a power plant off to the side of route 110, and turn the generator off. Otherwise, it might blow up and everything within a large radius would vanish, including Rydel's Cycles whose very generous sponsorship I had yet to repay. Better late than never!
New Mauville was confusing; doors, switches, and savage pokéballs that released rabid Persian, but I caught a level 23 Magneton! I finally found the generator room and jumped on the off-switch. Picking up the thunderstone that was nearby, I navigated through the switches again and came out to the fresh air. When I met back up with Wattson, he gave me TM 24, and instead of Thunderbolt, it was Milk Drink. Like Softboiled, it heals HP, so I let Electabuzz learn it.
Yeah, A NEW POWER
GIGABUZZ, USE MILK DRINK
Wait...
Uh, Gigabuzz?
........
Right, a milk bottle
Because most battles don't reveal a Pokémon's ability, I always have to wait for the end of a route or cave to be able to go to the PC and see what it is. It's something I looked forward to because of all the weird ability-Pokémon combos would show up in the PC lists for you all to see. I don't do that anymore because my PC lists got too lengthy, but I wish to share the surprise I got when I came back and found that the Magneton in this game have the ability Pick-Up.
Yeah, these magnets finally WORK
GO FULL POWER!

The first big thing that came to my mind was the randomizer: were the found items randomized as well? So I put Tron (Magneton's nickname) in for Electabuzz and trained it for a long time. At level 30 (seven levels later), it had found two repels, two super potions, an ultra ball, a full heal, a revive, and more things that are consistent with the normal finds. With Covet, Aerodactyl's move, gone, this was a blow, but a fair one at that. I will push on without the added amusement of more random items, at least for now!
One last side-trip to take was to the Move Tutor in Fallarbor Town. Venomoth had the ability to learn Silver Wind this way, so I traded in the Heart Scale and added a bug type move back in to my repertoire.
Heading across the water, I bumped in to some trainers, but no Pokémon until the grasses on the other side. It was a low-leveled Meditite, and I sent out Electabuzz with the move Swift to weedle it down. That didn't work, Electabuzz got a direct hit with Swift and the poor thing didn't survive.
I moved on, and a nice fisherman gave me a good rod, just another way to find Pokémon, which is always good.
