[Quiet Man Cometh]

Went into town yesterday, but mom was driving so I got to play passenger Pokemon Go! Several drive by stops and a couple drive by pokemon! I keep seeing Venognat on the radar thing but the darn guy never actually shows.

I found a gym with an empty slot but by the time I walked there, it was gone. Thankfully, the other gym nearby changed teams and there was a slot open. I put in my CP 58 Rattata thinking that I could train and swap to higher CP guy but apparently it doesn't work that way, so little Booker held down the slot for an hour or so. Got some training points and coins out of it.

Also, my egg hatched into a Machop.

Question: do potions get less effective over time? I remember it only taking 2-3 to heal my Vaporeon, but last time it took about five. Is he mad at me for using him too much?
