Don't ever mess with the Viridian Gym Leader guys. Just keep calm and carry on to Indigo Plateau, if the Gate Guards stopped you and asked why you didn't have the last gym badge, just tell them this, "I won the battle at the gym, but a mega evolved Mewtwo just appeared out of nowhere and used psychic to crushed my team entirely while they were still inside their pokeballs, I'm pretty sure you don't want that happening to your pokeballs... Or balls".

Most guards will believe you, and oh yeah, they changed their shifts at 5pm. Wait for the noobest pair, the one with an obese guy holding onto the hotdog in his hand, yeap that's the pair that you will want to strike. #preparefortrouble #makeitdouble
