I'm not sure if I follow you. mysql2 gem is an adaptor for the mysql DB.
When you create the app with -d mysql is telling rails that you want to
use mysql db for your app. Rails will by default set mysql2 gem
(adaptor) to be used in the database.yml

development:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: del_development
pool: 5
username: root
password:
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

So if you want to use mysql db you are doing it right with -d mysql.
There is nothing else you need to do. Just go ahead with the project.
