Leon laughed at that thought. "I don't think it works that way," he replied. "Poison won't effect him as easily, but it's not like it'll automatically make him better." He put his hands behind his head, thinking it over for a few moments. "Though, I have heard of specific items that could help a Pokemon out. Sunglasses that prevent loss of accuracy from attacks like Sand Attack. Charcoal that'll boost a Pokemon's flame attacks. Stuff like that. It might be interesting to look into, but we'd need to go to a specialty store to find those. Almost positive they'd be more expensive too." He offered a shrug. He knew the one in Celadon carried a few, but it was still a matter of actually getting funds for them. Either way, they'd have to wait a while for that possibility.

As the group was reaching the edge of the forest, he grinned. The trees dropped away to a cliff side, facing down towards a small city. It wasn't gigantic, but it was bigger than Pallet Town had been. It rivaled Viridian City in size. The most notable feature was, however, the large boulders strewn along the sides of the road. "Unfortunately, we won't find that fantastic of items here. Pewter City's primary export is rocks and gems." He smiled a bit, looking around. "I might want to take a look at the museum while we're here. Haven't had the chance to really see it before in anything more than pictures."
