Basically spent a massive amount of time wandering around. Mainly because it's a confusing point in the game even for humans.
Seemed to be interested in going through diglett's cave, probably because its general Pokémon knowledge was telling it that was the next step for flash. Hilariously (frustratingly) managed to completely ignore the guy who gives flash. Then managed to find it's way back in Viridian. Had to do Mt. Moon again. Eventually managed its way back around again and actually talk to the flash guy, it found out it needed to catch more pokemon. Caught some. Eventually managed to get flash. Which is basically the last bit of progress it managed to make.
...then it got stuck in this long ass loop again. Here's pic related for a insight into how retarded Claude's logic was at the time. But what's truly fucked it was catching a diglett and leveling it enough so that it learns Dig. Because now it'll use dig at a drop of a hat and lose any progress that could possibility be made, every single time.
