I had just gotten to route 20 in kanto region and defeated Victor on the right near the entrance. Once defeated he sold me HM03 - surf to a pikachu/raichu to which i used it on my level 50 raichu and it seemed to work, i then tried to use surf in the water and it said in chat "you need to own HM03 - Surf to be able to surf." although surf had shown up on the abilities list for raichu and i could even use the attack to defeat land pokemon. i had relogged 3 times to try to fix it and nothing worked. HELP ME
