It would be great knowledge to know that on this trip fighting Lady Cindy or Rich Boy Winston will give you a
1,400 reward for an easy battle. You can battle their Level 7 Zigzagoon, which an average Pokémon of level 7 or a few at the average level of 6 will easily take down. Use a strong attack such as Double Kick that can be found at Level 16 when Torchic evolves into Combusken, or, if you didn't take Torchic as your starter, Treeko's Absorb or Mudkip's Water Gun would take this Pokémon out before you know it.
