Pokemon battle

I was fighting gym leader Misty.  I sent my level 22 mankey out first against her staryu.  I used low kick and it killed her in one hit.  my mankey gained 434 experience points.  It was great!  Next pokemon was starmie.  Starmie is a very strong water pokemon.  She almost KO'd all my pokemon.  Lucky I just caught a level twelve Bellsprout in the fields beyond the bridge in Celedon city.  It was super effective because it used vine whip.  It took down starmie.  It gained 512 experience and gained one level!  I had defeated misty and earned the Cascade badge!  I saved my game and helped my mommy set the table.
