I've always wanted to write a guide for a full-sized game. With Pokemon
Black, I was planning on writing a lot of tutorials for my website as I have
with the previous games, so I thought I should write a full guide while I'm
at it.

This guide will show you the way through the game, documenting all items to
find, trainers to battle, and side quests to complete.

I hate when people put useless things before the actual content of the guide, 
so I'll shut up now and get to the goods.

2.1 Nuvema Town                                                        [wnuve]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Similar to previous games in the series, Pokemon Black and White both start
with a quick explanation of the Pokemon world by the new Pokemon professor.
The professor of Unova is Professor Juniper. After choosing your gender and
entering your name, the camera swoops into your house as Professor Juniper
enters.

You will now be inside your house with Cheren. Bianca will soon enter your
room and you will all look at the present on the table. You need to open the
present from Juniper which contains three Pokemon. You get first choice, and
can pick Snivy the Grass Pokemon, Tepig the Fire Pokemon, or Oshawott the
Water Pokemon. Snivy can have a difficult time in the third gym because it is
weak to Bug Pokemon. The easiest Pokemon to start with is Tepig. It makes the
second gym easy because its evolution is part Fighting, and the third gym
leader can be taken down with it's Fire moves. Oshawott will suffer in the
fourth gym, which features Electric-type Pokemon. Regardless of what Pokemon
you pick, you will get a Pokemon that covers its weakness within a few hours
so don't worry. Bianca will then choose the Pokemon that is weak against your
Pokemon, and Cheren will pick the Pokemon that is strong against your choice.

Once everyone has chosen a Pokemon, Bianca will challenge you to a battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Bianca 
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   (If you chose Tepig)     Snivy     Lv. 5  Grass
   (If you chose Oshawott)  Tepig     Lv. 5  Fire
   (If you chose Snivy)     Oshawott  Lv. 5  Water
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

This battle should not be very difficult. All three starter Pokemon each have
an attacking move, Tackle, and a defense lowering move, Tail Whip or Leer.
You should be fine if you use Leer/Tail Whip the first turn and then continue
using Tackle until Bianca's Pokemon has fainted.

After the battle with Bianca, the room will be a mess. Cheren will heal your
Pokemon for you and then challenge you to a battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Cheren
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   (If you chose Oshawott)  Snivy     Lv. 5  Grass
   (If you chose Snivy)     Tepig     Lv. 5  Fire
   (If you chose Tepig)     Oshawott  Lv. 5  Water
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The same strategy used for Bianca applies to this battle as well. You win
$500 for each battle.

You are free to walk around once you defeat Cheren, so start by walking
downstairs into a conversation with Cheren, Bianca, and your Mom. Afterwards,
your Mom will give you the Xtransceiver. Now head outside.

Once outside, Bianca will walk south, and you need to follow her to her
house. Enter the southwestern house and Bianca will be getting yelled at. She
will leave and now you need to go Professor Juniper's Lab, which is in the
northwestern corner of town. Bianca and Cheren will be standing in front of
the lab. Talk to Cheren and all three of you will all enter the lab. You will
be given a Pokedex and a chance to name your Pokemon. After Professor Juniper
leaves, walk outside for a quick talk with your Mom and she will give you the
Town Map. After everyone is done talking you can start your adventure by
heading to Route 1, which is northeast of the lab.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.2  Route 1                                                           [wrou1]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You and your two rivals will walk north to Professor Juniper, who will teach
you how to catch a Pokemon and give you 5 Pokeballs. Now you can travel north
through Route 1. Make sure to talk to the dark-haired girl in the grass for a
free Potion. Towards the end of the route you will encounter Cheren and
Bianca again. They will teach you how to use the Xtransceiver by having a
four-way chat with Professor Juniper. Head north to enter Accumula Town.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Wild Pokemon in Route 1:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lillipup  Lv. 2-4  Normal
   Patrat    Lv. 2-4  Normal
   Audino    Lv. 2-4  Normal  (Shaking Grass)
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Items in Route 1:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Potion - Talk to the dark-haired girl in the eastern patch of grass.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.3  Accumula Town                                                     [waccu]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The first building you see is the Pokemon Center, where Professor Juniper is
standing. Talk to her and she will teach you everything there is to know
about the Pokemon Center, whether you want her to or not. She will show you
how to heal your Pokemon, explain the Pokemon Box system, and show you the
PokeMart. You might want to stock up on as many Potions you can buy, as they
come in handy often.

Now is a good time to save if you haven't already done so. Walk outside once
you're ready and you will hear a commotion west of the Pokemon Center. Try to
walk west towards the people in gray hoods and Cheren will eventually stop
you. After the group leaves and the screen fades to black, N will approach
you and want to battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   N
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Purrloin  Lv. 7  Dark
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

This battle should be easy, especially if you're starter is level 10 or
greater. Once you defeat N he will talk briefly and leave. Cheren will talk
to you and head north.

There are a few things you can do in town before you leave, although none of
them are very important. You can get a free Poke Ball from the man on the top
floor of the northwestern house. You can also play a game of grass, fire,
water (rock, paper, scissors) with the girl on the same floor as the man who
gives the Poke Ball. Finally, you can visit the northeastern house for a
chance to play around with the game's music. If you talk to either of the
musicians, they will jam out to the town's music with their instrument until
you leave town.

Once you're ready, head to the northwestern part of town and walk through the
passageway to Route 2.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Items in Accumula Town:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Poke Ball - The man on the second floor of the northwestern house.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.4  Route 2                                                           [wrou2]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After a few steps into Route 2, your Mom will give you a call. Afterwards,
she will show up behind you and give you the Running Shoes. These allow you
to travel much faster by holding B as you move. Head into the patch of grass
and you'll find an item ball in the middle which contains a Potion. You'll
eventually run into a Youngster who wants to battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Youngster
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Patrat  Lv. 7  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you defeat Youngster, continue walking east until you encounter a Lass.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lass
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Purrloin  Lv. 7  Dark
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After defeating Lass, walk east until you hit some grass and then travel
north where you can face another Youngster.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Youngster
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lillipup  Lv. 7  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walk east from the Youngster up the hill to find a Poke Ball and Potion
laying out in the open. Go back down the hill and head north where you will
battle Bianca.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Bianca
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            Lillipup  Lv. 6  Normal
   (If you chose Tepig)     Snivy     Lv. 7  Grass
   (If you chose Oshawott)  Tepig     Lv. 7  Fire
   (If you chose Snivy)     Oshawott  Lv. 7  Water
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you defeat Bianca continue north where you will enter Striaton City.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Wild Pokemon in Route 2:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lillipup  Lv. 4-7  Normal
   Patrat    Lv. 4-7  Normal
   Purrloin  Lv. 4-7  Dark
   Audino    Lv. 4-7  Normal  (Shaking)
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Items in Route 2:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Potion    - In southern-most grass.
   Potion    - On the hill near the northern exit.
   Poke Ball - On the hill near the northern exit.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.5  Striaton City                                                     [wstri]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the very southern end of Striaton City, you can walk along the west fence
behind the trees to find an X Speed.

If you enter the soutern set of stairs on the eastern-most building, you can
talk to a man that will give you a Great Ball. It is more powerful than a
Poke Ball, and until you can buy Ultra Balls it is your best bet to catch
Pokemon.

If you go outside and walk down the alley between the eastern building you
just left and the trees, you will find a man who gives you a Dusk Ball. The
Dusk Ball is most effective at night and in poorly-lit areas like caves.

The building to the west of the Pokemon Center is a school. There is a boy
with brown hair who wants to quiz you. If you answer the first question with
the top choice and the second question with the bottom choice he will reward
your intelligence with a Full Heal. You will find Cheren, who wants to battle
you, by the chalkboard.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Cheren
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   (If you chose Oshawott)  Snivy  Lv. 8  Grass
   (If you chose Snivy)     Tepig  Lv. 8  Fire
   (If you chose Tepig)     Oshawott  Lv. 8  Water
                            Purrloin  Lv. 8  Dark
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you defeat Cheren, he will give you 3 Oran Berries and continue
studying. Held Oran Berries heal 10 HP in battle, or you can use them as an
item just like a Potion. You may want to save the berries for the gym battle
in town.

West of the school is a fountain. South of the fountain, across the bridge,
is another Great Ball.

Before you go to the gym, you should head east of town to the Dreamyard. You
will be given a Pokemon there that will cover your starter Pokemon's weakness
which will help you in the gym battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Items in Striaton City:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   X Speed    - At the Southern end of town between trees and fence.
   Great Ball - In the eastern building, southern stairs, talk to the brown-
                haired man on the bottom floor.
   Dusk Ball  - Talk to the man behind the eastern-most buildings.
   Full Heal  - In the school, talk to the brown-haired kid and take his
                quiz. Answer with the top choice for the first question,
                bottom choice for the second question.
   Oran Berry - Three are received from Cheren after you defeat him in the
                school.
   Great Ball - At the western part of town, south of the fountain.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.6  Dreamyard                                                         [wdrea]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There two trainers to battle here. You will first encounter a Lass.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lass
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Purrloin  Lv. 8  Dark
   Purrloin  Lv. 8  Dark
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take notice of the bush that is blocking the doorway. You'll have to come
back here once you have a way to cut down bushes. Right after the Lass is a
Youngster.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Youngster
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Patrat    Lv. 7  Normal
   Patrat    Lv. 7  Normal
   Lillipup  Lv. 7  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you beat both trainers, talk to the dark-haired person walking around
and answer "Yes" to his question. He will give you a monkey Pokemon according
to what starter you chose. Just make sure you have a spare slot in your
party, otherwise you'll have to go back to the Pokemon Center and deposit a
Pokemon.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Gift Pokemon:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   (If you chose Snivy)     Panpour  Lv. 10  Water
   (If you chose Tepig)     Pansage  Lv. 10  Grass
   (If you chose Oshawott)  Pansear  Lv. 10  Fire
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once he gives it to you, you'll have a chance to name it. Now you have a
strong Pokemon that will help you in your upcoming gym battle. North of the
person who gives the Pokemon away you'll find an item ball with an X Defend
near the orange traffic cone.

That's all there is to do for right now until you can cut down bushes, so
head back to Striaton City and we can take on the first gym.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Wild Pokemon in Dreamyard:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Munna     Lv. 8-10  Psychic
   Patrat    Lv. 8-11  Normal
   Purrloin  Lv. 8-11  Dark
   Musharna  Lv. 11    Psychic  (Shaking)
   Audino    Lv. 8-11  Normal   (Shaking)
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Items in Dreamyard:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   X Defend - Near the traffic cone.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.7  Striaton City Gym                                                 [wgstr]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now that you have a well-balanced team, you can talk to the green-haired guy
standing in the doorway of the gym, the building east of the Pokemon Center.
He will walk into the gym once he's done talking and you should follow. Once
you enter the gym and take a step forward, a man will notice you and give you
a Fresh Water. If you talk to him at each gym he will give you a Fresh Water
for free. There are three panels in front of you, one to signify three
Pokemon types: grass, fire, and water. There is also a curtain blocking you
from the next room that has one of the types on it. You need to step on the
panel that the curtain is weak against. The first curtain has a fire symbol
on it, so step on the water panel to open the curtain. Beyond the curtain is
a Waiter to battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Waiter
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lillipup  Lv. 11  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second curtain has a water symbol on it, so walk onto the grass panel.
Once the curtain opens, there will be a Waitress waiting to battle you.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Waitress
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Patrat    Lv. 10  Normal
   Purrloin  Lv. 11  Dark
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The third and final curtain has a grass symbol on it, so walk onto the fire
panel. Walk up the stairs to meet with Gym Leader Cilan. He will introduce
Gym Leader Chili and Gym Leader Cress. For the first time in a Pokemon game,
there are three gym leaders for a single gym. Luckily, you only need to
defeat one to get the Trio-Badge. The gym leader you battle is the one that
has hair symbolizing the type that your starter is weak against. It is always
a good idea to save before a gym leader battle because their Pokemon are more
powerful than any other Pokemon you have faced yet. A good strategy for this
battle is to use your starter Pokemon (Snivy, Tepig, or Oshawott) to take out
the gym leader's Lillipup, and then send out your elemental monkey (Pansage,
Pansear, or Panpour) to take out the gym leader's elemental monkey.

If you chose Oshawott, you will battle Cilan.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Gym Leader Cilan
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lillipup  Lv. 12  Normal
   Pansage   Lv. 14  Grass
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you chose Snivy, you will battle Chili.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Gym Leader Chili
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lillipup  Lv. 12  Normal
   Pansear   Lv. 14  Fire
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you chose Tepig, you will battle Cress.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Gym Leader Cress
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lillipup  Lv. 12  Normal
   Panpour   Lv. 14  Water
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you defeat either Cilan, Chili, or Cress you will be awarded with the
Tri-Badge and TM 83, Cheer Up. TMs are a little different than they used to
be in previous Pokemon games. TMs used to be a one-time use item, but now
they are unlimited use. This is great because you will most likely find a
move that you want to teach to multiple Pokemon, and it saves you from having
to look for more copies of the same TM. You also now have the ability to use
HM 01 (Cut), which you will get soon, outside of battle.

As you try to walk out of the gym, Fennel will stop you and take you to the
second floor of the eastern house that was previously blocked. She will give
you HM 01 (Cut). It allows you to cut down small bushes that previously
blocked your way. Remember where this room is because you'll be coming back
to speak with Fennel.

Now that you can use Cut, you may want to go back to Route 2 and find the
bush that's north of the set of ledges. You can find a Super Potion, which
restores 50 HP, and a Great Ball. Whether or not you decide to go back to
Route 2, head to the Abandoned Lot of Dreams again to find a Munna.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Items in Striaton City Gym:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Fresh Water      - Received from the white-haired man at the front of the
                      gym.
   TM 83 (Cheer Up) - Received from the Gym Leader after defeat.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.8  Dreamyard Revisited                                               [wrdre]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now that you have HM 01, teach one of your Pokemon the move Cut. Find the
bush that is blocking the opening in the wall and cut it down by pressing A
while facing it. Once you try to enter the hole in the wall, Bianca will come
and talk to you and then walk ahead a little. Walk past her and you will hear
a noise. Walk up through the doorway and sitting out in the open will be a
Munna, which is the Pokemon the lab assistant in Striaton was looking for. If
you get close enough, Bianca will step in and the Munna will scurry off. You
and Bianca automatically follow, and then some Team Plasma Grunts show up.
The grunts are abusing the Munna, so you have to put a stop to it by battling
them.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Team Plasma Grunt
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Patrat  Lv. 10  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you defeat him, a female grunt will want to battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Team Plasma Grunt
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Purrloin  Lv. 10  Dark
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once she is defeated, there will be some banter and then Ghetsis, the guy
from Karakusa Town, will teleport in. A second Ghetsis teleports, and then he
teleports a third time to show up behind the two grunts and tell them to stop
hurting the Munna. The grunts run off and Ghetsis teleports away. A Musharna,
the evolution of Munna, comes around the corner. Fennel from Striaton City
appears and notices the two Pokemon, who leave shortly after. Munna and
Musharna leave an item behind, and Fennel snags it and runs back to the lab
in Striaton City.

Once Bianca is done talking you can walk west, under the walkway above, to
find a Poke Ball in the grass. A Parlyz Heal can be found by the hole in the
wall near the bottom of the stairs. Walk up the stairs and take a left to
find a Potion. Head right at the top of the stairs to get a Repel, one of the
most useful items in the game because it prevents wild Pokemon encounters for
100 steps.

Whether or not you decide to pick up the stray items lying around, head back
to Striaton City.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Wild Pokemon in Dreamyard Revisited:

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Items in Dreamyard Revisited:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Poke Ball   - In the grass west of the Team Plasma Grunt battles.
   Parlyz Heal - At the hole in the wall near the bottom of the stairs.
   Potion      - Walk up the stairs and head left.
   Repel       - Walk up the stairs and head right.

2.9  Striaton City Lab                                                 [wstrl]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Find the eastern-most building in Striaton City and enter at the northern set
of stairs. Go to the second floor and talk to Fennel. She gives you the C
Gear, which constantly checks for Wireless, Wi-Fi, and Infrared connections
to let you use different features. Wireless lets you access the Entralink and
the Xtransceiver. Wi-Fi gives you access to Game Sync, which syncs your game
with the Pokemon Global Link website. Infrared lets you trade and battle
against other people that are nearby in real life.

Now that the C Gear let's you access the online features of Pokemon Black and
White, Fennel's little lab assistant gives you the Pal Pad. The Pal Pad lets
you store other people's friend codes so you can easily battle and trade with
them online.

A quick note before you leave: The C Gear is always checking for new wireless
networks and other people with Black or White in the vicinity, which uses up
your DS's battery. If you don't plan on using the C Gear, you should turn it
off by tapping the power button in the lower right-hand corner of the bottom
screen. This will extend your DS's battery life.

Now that you have the C Gear, you can make your way to Route 3. It is located
on the west end of Striaton City past the garden area.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.10 Route 3                                                           [wrou3]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The first thing you'll see in Route 3 is a set of stairs. If you walk up the
stairs, you will see two buildings. The building to the right is the Pokemon
Day Care, where you can drop off your Pokemon for two reasons. One reason is
to breed two compatible Pokemon which results in an egg you can hatch. The
other reason is to have the Pokemon gain a certain amount of experience for
each step you take when it is in the Day Care. The building on the left is a
kindergarten. You can go inside this building and talk to the person just in
front of the doorway and she will heal your Pokemon so you won't have to walk
all the way back to Striaton City.

West of the kindergarten is a sand box with a hidden item, but first you must
battle a teacher. She has a Munna that can put your Pokemon to sleep, which
can be very annoying. It's always good to keep Full Heals and Awakenings on
hand for such an occasion.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Kindergarten Teacher
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Lillipup  Lv. 10  Normal
   Munna     Lv. 10  Psychic
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walk over to the sand box. You will find a hidden Ultra Ball if you walk to
the top-left corner of the sand box, take one step right, take two steps
down, and press A. Except for the Master Ball, Ultra Balls are the best non
specialty balls to catch Pokemon. The next trainer to battle is next to
stairs of the slide.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Kindergartener
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Pansage  Lv. 10  Grass
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take a ride down the slide if you want. There are two kindergarteners south
of the slide who want to battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Panpour  Lv. 10  Water
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heal up inside the kindergarten and make your way back down the steps and
west where you will fight your first double battle. If you are unfamiliar
with double battles, it is when each team has two Pokemon active at a time.
The two Pokemon of yours that are chosen are the top two slots in your party.
Make sure you have the two Pokemon you want to battle at the top of your
party by pressing X, selecting the Pokemon option, and switching your choices
to the top of your party.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep walking west and you'll see an item in the patch of grass. Don't get too
excited because Cheren will show up to battle. It shouldn't be a very tough
battle now that you have the elemental monkey that can take down his starter
Pokemon. His starter Pokemon holds an Oran Berry, so when it gets down to
below 33% health, it will replenish 10 HP.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Cheren
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   (If you chose Snivy)     Tepig     Lv. 14  Fire
   (If you chose Tepig)     Oshawott  Lv. 14  Water
   (If you chose Oshawott)  Snivy     Lv. 14  Grass
                            Purrloin  Lv. 12  Dark
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, two Plasma Grunts will run past followed by Bianca and a
little girl. After everyone is done talking, Cheren runs off west to chase
down the Plasma Grunts. You can now get the item ball in the patch of grass,
which contains a Super Potion. If you try to go south, Bianca will stop you.
You can still go back to the kindergarten to heal you're Pokemon if you need.
Head west when you're ready.

Walk west until you hit a wall and then go north until you see Cheren. If you
talk to him he will ask if you want to go into the cave together to track
down the Plasma Grunts. Say no for now because there is still a trainer to
fight and an item to find if you walk east through the grass. First, you'll
battle a Pokemon Breeder.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Pokemon Breeder
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Patrat    Lv. 9  Normal
   Pidove    Lv. 9  Normal/Flying
   Lillipup  Lv. 9  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

She will give you an Oran Berry after you defeat her. Walk south from the
Pokemon Breeder to find a Repel. Hop down the ledge and make your way back to
Cheren. Talk to Cheren and say yes to his question. He will go into the cave
and you need to follow him.

It is a good time to save right as you enter. When you're ready, walk toward
the two Plasma Grunts which will lead into a battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Team Plasma Grunt
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Patrat  Lv. 12  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two more Plasma Grunts will come to battle, but this time it will be a double
battle with you and Cheren on a team. Cheren will use his starter. This
battle shouldn't be hard, but it can be difficult if you are unlucky. You
have no control over Cheren's Pokemon, so if one of the Plasma Grunts'
Patrats use Bide and Cheren decides to attack it, you could be in trouble.
With any luck you will attack a Patrat and then Cheren's Pokemon will finish
it off.

After the battle there will be some talking. The Plasma Grunts will leave,
and Cheren will go back to Route 3. You can walk west and make your way
around the rock to the item ball which contains TM 46, Thief. That's all
there is to do here now, so walk back outside to Route 3.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Make your way back to Bianca and the little girl. To thank you, the little
girl will give you three Heal Balls before Bianca takes her back to where she
belongs. The Heal Ball is just like a regular Poke Ball, except it will
completely heal the Pokemon you catch. You can now travel south, where you
will run into a School Kid ready to battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   School Kid
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Blitzle  Lv. 13  Electric
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the patch of grass east of the School Kid is an Antidote. Keep walking
south and Cheren will come and talk to you. He will warn you about the tall,
dark grass. It can lead to wild double battles. Continue south and you'll run
into another School Kid.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   School Kid
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Woobat  Lv. 13  Psychic/Flying

Before you cross the bridge, keep walking south through the grass to find a

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   School Kid
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Patrat    Lv. 12  Normal

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Walk west a couple of steps and you'll meet up with Cheren. He will walk you
on the tracks to the Pokemon Center and give you 3 Chesto Berries, which wake
up a sleeping Pokemon. After Cheren leaves, you might want to heal your
Pokemon after the long trip through Route 3.

The building west of the Pokemon Center has battle items such as X Defend and
X Attack for sale. These items increase a specific stat for the duration of a
single battle. I've found them to be good to use for battles with gym
leaders. The building west of that has a person that will give a very good
item. Talk to the blue-haired woman. She will ask you to pick one of three
choices and she will give an item based on your choice.

1. Snivy    - Miracle Seed - Powers up Grass-Type moves 20%
2. Oshawott - Mystic Water - Powers up Water-Type moves 20%
3. Tepig    - Charcoal     - Powers up Fire-Type moves 20%

The obvious choice is to pick your starter Pokemon, but you can choose
whatever you want. You could even pick the item that will help out your
elemental monkey if you'd like. Don't worry too much about this decision
because you can get all three of these items throughout the game regardless
of which on you get now.

Each one of the items will power up a Pokemon's moves of the related type by
twenty percent when held. To give a Pokemon an item to hold, press X to bring
up the start menu, choose Pokemon, then select the Pokemon you want to give
an item. The third choice in the dialog that pops up will be "Item", and it
will give the choices "Give" and "Take." Choose Give and then find the item
in your bag that you want the Pokemon to hold. You can always choose Take in
order to get the item back from your Pokemon.

The first building east of the Pokemon Center is closed, but the next house
east has a trade available. Upstairs in this building is a girl who wants to
trade her Petilil for your Cottonee in Black, or her Cottonee for your
Petilil in White. Cottonee can only be caught in Black and Petilil can only
be caught in White, so this is a good way to fill up your Pokedex. Also,
traded Pokemon gain more experience than non-traded Pokemon. You can't yet
catch either Cottonee (Black) or Petilil (White) until you get to the
Pinwheel Forest, but Nacrene City is connected to the forest to the west so
you can go catch one after you defeat this city's gym.

If you go northwest from the Pokemon Center you'll find a Cafe. If it's
Wednesday then it's your lucky day because the waitress in the front will
give you a Soda Pop for talking with her.

The big, gray building north of the Pokemon Center is the Nacrene City Museum
and Gym. N will walk out as your try to enter and he will want to battle you.
N's Tympole can confuse you, but you can just switch out a confused Pokemon
to heal the confusion. Timburr can hit for a lot of damage, so be careful.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   N
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Pidove   Lv. 13  Normal/Flying
   Tympole  Lv. 13  Water
   Timburr  Lv. 13  Fighting
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you walk into the museum you will see a scientist looking at a skeleton
of a Dragonite. He will show you some of the various exhibits of the museum
before leading you upstairs to the gym. Before you head into the gym, you
will want to go to the Pinwheel Forest to train up your Pokemon and get a TM
of a Fighting-type move which will be super-effective against this gym
leader's Normal-type Pokemon. Make your way outside and head west to go to
the Pinwheel Forest. On your way out you can get a hidden Ultra Ball that is
by the accordianist near the cafe. Stand directly in front of him, take one
step down, take two steps right, and press A.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Items in Nacrene City:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The first woman you see will give you TM 94, Rock Smash. It is a Fighting-
type move that is super-effective against the Normal-type Pokemon that the
gym leader in Nacrene City uses. The best type of Pokemon to use this attack
is a Fighting-type Pokemon, so let's keep going until we find a patch of
grass to catch one. If you chose Tepig and it has evolved into an Pignite, it
is now a Fire and Fighting-type, so teaching it Rock Smash would be good for
the second gym battle. Keep walking west, and then south to find a woman in
pink who will only battle if you talk to her. She has a Munna at a high
level, so be prepared.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Nurse
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Munna  Lv. 15  Psychic
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being a nurse, she will heal your Pokemon for you and she will now heal your
Pokemon each time you talk to her. If you walk between the fence and the
trees you will eventually find an Ether. South of the Nurse is a female
Kindergartener.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Kindergartener
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Cottonee  Lv. 13  Grass
   Petilil   Lv. 13  Grass

Next, a male Kindergartener is walking along the tracks.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Kindergartener
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Roggenrola  Lv. 14  Rock

Keep walking down the tracks to find a Great Ball. Continue south through the
grass and you will find a Youngster.

   Tympole  Lv. 13  Water

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

South of him is an Anitdote. If you walk southwest from the Antidote, you
will find a Super Potion past some thick grass. In the huge puddle near the
Super Potion is a hidden Antidote.  If you are standing in the very bottom
right corner of the puddle take two steps up, one step right, and press A to
get the Antidote. In the northern-most part of the thick grass you can find a
hidden TinyMushroom in the tiny puddle. Make your way back to find another
Youngster.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Youngster
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Venipede  Lv. 14  Bug
   Lillipup  Lv. 14  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Past the Youngster is a huge set of stairs where a Black Belt is waiting to
battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Black Belt
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Timburr  Lv. 16  Fighting
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next, there is a Battle Girl spinning around looking for a battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Battle Girl
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Timburr  Lv. 16  Fighting
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you press A at the big rock here, you will get a Star Piece which can be
sold for a lot of money at a Poke Mart. You can get a Star Piece here once
every day. A little bit northeast from the big rock you can find a hidden
Ether in one of the flowers. If you are below the northeast-most little rock
in the area, take one step west and press A to find the Ether. Walk down the
second set of stairs and there will be a Net Ball. It works best on Water and
Bug Pokemon, otherwise it is just like a regular Poke Ball.

If you didn't start with Tepig, you most likely don't have a Fighting Pokemon
yet. The grass around here has three different Fighting Pokemon to catch:
Timburr, Throh, and Sawk. Throh can be found normally in White, and only in
shaking grass in Black. Sawk can be found normally in Black, and only in
shaking grass in White. The best Pokemon to catch and train for the second
gym battle is Sawk, because it has the highest attack stat and pretty good
speed. If you teach it Rock Smash with the TM 94 you got earlier, it will do
a lot of damage to Normal-type Pokemon in the second gym. When you're ready
for the second Gym head back to Nacrene City.

                  the big rock. If you are below the northeast-most little

Once you find your way back to the gym, the white-haired guy will give you a
Fresh Water. There is a School Kid up front wanting to battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   School Kid

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Always answer yes to the questions in this gym.

There are a total of five bookshelves in the middle of this gym with stools
in front of them. Two of them have trainers studying at them. First, go to
the bottom-left bookshelf and inspect it. Answer yes to the question it asks.
Now go up to the middle-left bookshelf and inspect it. Answer yes to the
question it asks. You will see the trainer at the top-left bookshelf turn
around. Walk up to her and answer yes to her question to start a battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Scientist
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Herdier  Lv. 17  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you defeat her, the Scientist moves away from the bookshelf. Inspect it
and answer yes to the question it asks. Now go to the bottom-right bookshelf
and inspect it, answering yes to the question. Finally, go up to the middle
right bookshelf and talk to the girl, answer yes to her question, and she
will battle you.

The School Kid moves away from the bookshelf. Inspect the bookshelf and you
will find a switch. Once the switch is activated, the bookshelf will move out
of the way, revealing a passageway downstairs. Walk downstairs and you will
find Lenora, the gym leader of Nacrene City. She specializes in Normal-type
Pokemon, so hopefully you came prepared with a Fighting-type Pokemon. Having
a good Fighting-type Pokemon like Sawk around level 20 makes this gym battle
much more managable. Lenora's Herdier has the Intimidate ability, which
decreases its opponent's Attack stat when Herdier is sent out. You may want
to send out a dummy Pokemon first just so a more useful Pokemon doesn't have
its Attack stat decreased. Her Watchog has the move Retaliation, which will
do a lot of damage if it is used right after one of its teammates is knocked
out. You may want to send out a dummy Pokemon after you knock out Herdier to
take the massive damage if Watchog uses Retaliation.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Gym Leader Lenora
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Herdier  Lv. 18  Normal
   Watchog  Lv. 20  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you defeat Lenora, she will give you the Basic Badge and TM 67,
Retaliation. The scientist that gave you the tour of the museum will barge in
and say Team Plasma is trying to steal something. Lenora dashes out and you
need to go to the museum. When you get there, Lenora and some Team Plasma
members will be talking and before you know it, a huge cloud of smoke pops up
and the head of the Dragonite skeleton is gone. Lenora rushes outside to
catch them and you need to follow her. When you go outside it seems like it's
too late because Lenora is looking around puzzled, not knowing which way they
went. Burgh, the gym leader of Castelia City walks up and asks what's
happening. Bianca and Cheren arrive too. After some talking, both of the gym
leaders walk off in separate directions. Bianca gives you the Dowsing
Machine, otherwise known as the Item Finder. It can help you find hidden
items. Bianca and Cheren will walk off to explore the museum, which leaves
you to go where you want. You may want to heal your Pokemon and save. Once
you're ready, head west to the Pinwheel Forest.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Items in Nacrene City Gym:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Fresh Water - Received from the white-haired man at the beginning of the

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is smart to stock up on Antidotes before you enter Pinwheel Forest because
there are a lot of Pokemon that have moves and abilities that can inflict
poison. As you head to the Pinwheel Forest, you'll run into Burgh. He will go
into the forest. When you enter, you will see him again. Approach him and he
will explain that there are two paths: west and north. He takes the north
path, so you can take the west path. The first trainers you meet are twins
ready for a double battle.

Walk south to battle a Plasma Grunt. He has a new Pokemon you haven't seen
before, Sandile. It has Intimidate, which will decrease your opening
Pokemon's attack. It also has Torment, which prevents you from using the same
attack two turns in a row.

Remember the girl that wanted to trade Pokemon back in Nacrene City? You can
catch the Pokemon she wanted in Yagaruma Forest. If you catch a Cottonee in
Black or a Petilil in White, just go back to the building east of the Pokemon
Center in Nacrene City to trade for the other. It will hold a Cheri Berry,
which heals paralysis. Traded Pokemon gain more experience at the end of
battles than non-traded Pokemon, so it will gain levels faster than normal.

Walk west to find another Plasma Grunt. Before fighting her, walk south
through the grass and west to find a Big Root. The Big Root increases
absorbed HP from moves like Mega Drain and Leech Seed by 30 percent, which is
great for a lot of Grass Pokemon. Make your way back to the grunt to battle
her.

He will give a Chesto Berry after defeating him. A held Chesto Berry will

West of the Super Potion is a Youngster. His Venipede has the Poison Point
ability, which has a 30 percent chance of poisoning your Pokemon if Venipede
is hit with a physical attack.

hollowed-out log and under the slanted log. Keep following the path and the
first green bump on the ground hides another Pokemon Ranger.

She will give you a Pecha Berry. A held Pecha Berry will cure a poisoned
Pokemon in battle. There is a seemingly empty tree stump to the south, and a
hollow log to the east. The south stump actually has a hidden TinyMushroom in
it. Press A one step before you walk inside of the stump to get the item.
TinyMushrooms have no effect, but you can sell them for a little bit of
money. Walk up the slanted log and there will be a Plasma Grunt ready to
battle.

Walk through the hollowed-out log to the north and follow the path until you
find a stump with a Parlyz Heal inside. The eastern-most green bump on the
ground has a Pokemon Ranger waiting to pounce.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Pokemon Ranger will give you a Pecha Berry after the battle. Down the
stairs and through the grass is TM 86, Grass Knot, which is a useful Grass
type move. The amount of damage that Grass Knot does is related to the weight
of the Pokemon being attacked. The heavier the attacked Pokemon is, the more
damage Grass Knot does. Head back to the Pokemon Ranger and walk through the
log. The final Team Plasma member in Pinwheel Forest is waiting for you.

The Plasma Grunt will give you the Dragonite skull that was stolen. Asura,
who is one of the Team Plasma sages, will appear. He is followed by Lenora
and Burgh. Asura and the grunt will vanish, leaving the three of you to talk
briefly. You give Lenora the skull and she gives you a Moon Stone. The Moon
Stone can evolve certain Pokemon like Munna. Walk east after Lenora leaves to
find a Miracle Seed. Hop down the ledge and you will end up back at the road
that leads to the north and east exits. You can walk down south to battle
some more trainers. A School Girl who is staring at the trees will battle if
you talk to her.

That leads you back to the beginning of the forest. You can walk outside of
the forest where you entered and talk to the nurse to heal up before
continuing. Now you can walk all the way north on the road through the forest
to Skyarrow Bridge.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the gate there is a Hiker who will give you a Quick Claw. The Quick Claw
is a very good hold item. It lets the holding Pokemon attack first,
regardless of their speed stat. Skyarrow Bridge doesn't have any events. All
you have to do is hold up and take in the sights. Eventually you will find
Castelia City.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The first thing to notice about Castelia City are all of the big buildings.
This city is huge. After you first enter from the Skyarrow Bridge gate you
can walk down to a pier. There is a scientist that will give you an elemental
stone. You can use it to evolve the elemental monkey you received back in the
Dreamyard if you want. The first choice is Leaf Stone, the second is Fire
Stone, and the third is Water Stone. Return to the main road and then walk
left until you find the Pokemon Center.

Inside the Pokemon Center there will be someone in line at the healing
station. Talk to her and she will ask you to walk upstairs to the globe and
select where you live in the world. This is used when you battle other people
online.

Before we walk up any of the roads to go into inner Castelia City, walk left
from the Pokemon Center to find different buildings to explore. The first
building you can enter has brown and green doors. This is the Battle Company.
When you walk inside, a man with gray hair will talk to you before talking
the elevator up. Enter the elevator and go to floor 47. Up here are a bunch
of people waiting to battle. The closest girl is an Office Lady.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Clerk
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Herdier  Lv. 19  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you talk to the man to the right of the Office Lady, he will give you
three Quick Balls and three Timer Balls. Quick Balls are four times stronger
than a regular Poke Ball if they are used on the first turn of battle. After
the first turn, they are just as strong as a Poke Ball. In contrast, Timer
Balls get stronger after each turn of a battle. There is a Businessman to the
left.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Clerk
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Timburr  Lv. 19  Fighting
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

South of him is another Office Lady.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Clerk
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Petilil   Lv. 18  Grass
   Cottonee  Lv. 18  Grass
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below her is a Revive. When one of your Pokemon faints, use a revive to heal
its HP half way instead of walking all the way back to a Pokemon Center. To
the right is a scientist.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the right is a scientist that will give you a Scope Lens, which gives the
holder a better chance of getting critical hits. Head back to the elevator
and go to floor 55. Walk down to find a Hyper Potion. Hyper Potions heal 200
HP, which is probably too powerful for any of your Pokemon right now so you
may want to save it. To the left is a Businessman.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Pansear  Lv. 19  Fire
   Panpour  Lv. 19  Water
   Pansage  Lv. 19  Grass
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continue walking up and talk to the guy at the desk. Be careful because his
Trubbish has Toxic Spikes, a move that lays down spikes that will poison any
Pokemon that you send out.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Janitor
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Trubbish  Lv. 20  Poison
   Minccino  Lv. 20  Normal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

He will give you Exp. Share. If a Pokemon holds Exp. Share it will get
experience from any battle, even if it didn't get sent out. It's a great item
when you catch a new Pokemon that is a low level. That's all there is to do
at the Battle Company, so head down the elevator and back outside.

The building to the left of the Battle Company is a survey center. If you
take enough surveys you will get an add-on for your C-Gear. The survey center
is the last building on this road that you can enter, so now it's time to
start traveling up the different streets. Walk up the left-most street.

The entrance on the right side of this street is the Castelia Gym. Cheren
pops out as you try to enter. Once he leaves, Burgh comes out and talks
before chasing after Cheren. You can find them at the middle of the five
piers back by the Battle Company. Before going there you should finish
exploring Castelia for more items and battles.

The building on the left side of this street is empty for now, so you can
skip it and keep walking up. Now you are in the central hub of the city.
There is a Dancer who wants to battle by the fountain.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Dancer
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Pansage  Lv. 21  Grass
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once he is defeated, he will challenge you to find two other Dancers and
defeat them to win a prize. North of the fountain is a set of vending
machines where you can buy drinks that heal HP. Walk down the middle-left
street, next to the street you just came from. This is a very narrow alley
with two old men who don't want to be disturbed. Further down you can find
the second Dancer by the sewer hole.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Dancer
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Panpour  Lv. 21  Water
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walk down further to find a cafe. If you talk to the manager inside, she will
give you a free Lemonade which restores 80 HP. Back in the alley, if you walk
down even more there will be a sound coming from one of the dumpsters. This
may seem like a battle, but the guy in the suit actually gives you TM 70,
Flash. In-battle, Flash will lower your opponent's accuracy. In-field, Flash
will light up dark caves. Make your way back to the main road or the city hub
and enter the middle-right street.

This area is hustling and bustling. There are plenty of business people
running about. Don't worry about running into any of them because they will
dodge you. There is a big pink and white stand selling Castelia Ice. It's a
very popular treat, though, so you will have to wait in line if you want one.
On the right side of this street is an art gallery with a Clown inside. He
will ask you to show him a certain type of Pokemon each day. If you show him
the correct type of Pokemon, you will get a berry as a reward. The type of
Pokemon and berry is different every day. That's all there is to do on this
street, so make your way to the right-most street.

There are a lot of people walking on this street too. The building on the
right of this road has a special event. If you bring an event Celebi to the
lady on the first floor, the person on the left will show its true form. It
is actually a Zorua that will join your party. Even if you don't have a
Celebi, she will still show you Zorua to fill in your Pokedex, which will
help you out later. Upstairs in this building is where the Game Freak crew
reside. Game Freak, the creators of Pokemon, always put a Game Freak
headquarters in each game. Usually there is a cool unlockable at a certain
point in each game so you may end up making your way back here.

Head back outside and enter the building on the left side of the street.
There is a woman who will give one of your Pokemon a massage once a day which
will increase their happiness. Some Pokemon only evolve through happiness, so
this is a good place to keep in mind. Upstairs is a hiker that gives TM 44,
Rest. Rest puts a Pokemon to sleep and replenishes all of his or her health.

Make your way to the fountain in the city hub and keep walking north to enter
the street that leads to Route 4. On this street there are three entrances.
Go into the building on the left. Here you can find the Name Rater. If you
want to give any of your Pokemon a new nickname he is the guy that can do it.
Upstairs is a scientist that wants you to tell him a phrase.

Back outside, walk across the street and enter the southern entrance of the
building on the right. There is a guy in a suit and sunglasses blocking the
elevator. Answer yes to his question and he will let you to use the elevator.
Go to the 47th floor. There is a party going on in this room and there are
people from all over the world. If you talk to the little girl with pigtails,
she will give you TM 45, Attract. This move can be used against Pokemon of
the opposite gender to cause infatuation. An infatuated Pokemon will not
attack half of the time because it is in love. Go back outside and use the
second entrance of this building.

There is a scientist by the TV that will give you the Miracle of Evolution if
you have seen over 25 Pokemon. The Miracle of Evolution will increase Defense
and Special Defense by 50% if the Pokemon holding can still evolve. There
isn't anything of note usdtairs in this building, so you have explored all of
Castelia City other than the piers. Head back to the southern-most part of
Castelia City and go to the middle-left pier in between the survey center and
the Battle Company. There you will find the final Dancer.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Dancer
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Pansear  Lv. 21  Fire
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once defeated, he will go back to the city fountain. If you have beaten all
three Dancers, go to the fountain and talk to the middle Dancer to get an
Amulet Coin. It will double the money you receive after a battle if the
Pokemon holding it participated. There is currently nothing to do at the left
pier and the middle-right pier so head off to the middle pier to meet up with
Burgh. Make sure you have already tried to enter the Castelia Gym, otherwise
Burgh won't be at the pier. Once you enter the middle pier, Burgh, Belle, and
Iris will start talking to you before a Team Plasma member shows up. Burgh
will chase down the Team Plasma member and you need to follow him. Head west
toward the gym. Across the street from the gym is Burgh staring down some
Plasma grunts. As you walk up, the grunts will talk and you should answer yes
to their question to start a battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Team Plasma Grunt
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Sandile  Lv. 17  Ground/Dark
   Sandile  Lv. 17  Ground/Dark
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the battle is over, all of the grunts will run inside. Belle and Iris
show up and talk briefly before Burgh high-tails it into the building. Belle
and Iris follow Burgh, which leaves you no choice but to follow as well.
After a lot of talking, a Munna runs away from Team Plasma into Belle's arms.
Team Plasma vanishes and Iris gives you a Yache Berry, which makes super
effective Ice moves do half damage to the holder. Once everyone leaves, you
can pick up the stray Smoke Ball that Team Plasma left behind. A Smoke Ball
allows you to run away from a wild Pokemon without fail as long as your
active Pokemon is holding it. Now that Team Plasma is out of Castelia City,
Burgh is free to battle you in the gym across the street.

2.19 Castelia City Gym                                                 [wgcas]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Castelia's gym is filled with trainers that love Bug-type Pokemon, which are
weak against Flying-type Pokemon. Some Bug Pokemon like Sewaddle and Leavanny
are also Grass type, so they will be weak against Fire-type moves too. A
combination of Flying and Fire Pokemon will give you a good head start. Bug
type moves are super effective against Grass Pokemon so you will be at a
disadvantage if you started with Snivy.

Make sure to talk to the white-haired gym guide to get a free Fresh Water.
This gym is like a honeycomb. Keep pressing forward to walk through the wall
of honey. Past the honey is a switch. Step on it and a gate to the left will
drop down. To the right is a Clown who wants to battle.

Continue walking right to the next switch. It will lower the gate next to the
Clown you just beat. Walk through the new honey wall and step on the switch
for another Clown battle. He has a Pokemon you haven't seen before, Dwebble.
It is part Rock type so it is weak against Water attacks.

Step on the switch to the right of the clown, followed by the switch to the
left. This will lower the gate behind the clown. Walk up through the honey
wall behind the clown and step on the switch to turn on one green light on
the post to the left. Walk down through the honey wall and walk left until
you find another switch, which will open a gate to the left. Walk down
through the honey wall and step on the switch to the left for a battle.

and walk through the honey wall. There will be one last Clown waiting to
battle.

Step on the switch to open the final gate in the gym. Burgh is at the top of
the purple stairs waiting to battle with the Beetle Badge on the line. Burgh
has three strong Bug Pokemon. If you have a Fire Pokemon like Tepig/Pignite
or Pansear/Simisear at level 25 or higher then this battle should be
extremely easy, especially with a Charcoal equipped. You may want to visit
Route 4, north of Castelia City, if you don't have any Fire Pokemon. There
you can catch a Darumaka. Dwebble is the only problem for your Fire Pokemon,
so use a Water Pokemon on it if possible. As always, it is a good time to
heal up and save before a battle with a gym leader.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once Burgh is defeated, he will give you the Beetle Badge and TM 76, Struggle
Bug. It is a move that deals damage and lowers the opponent's Special Attack
stat by one stage. As you walk outside, Belle calls you on the Xtransceiver
and says something about meeting on Route 4. Heal your Pokemon and stock up
on items before heading north to Route 4.

so be ready. North of the entrance is a Doctor ready to battle.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

West of her are BlackGlasses. They boost Dark-type attacks by 20 percent when
held. Continue north and talk to the man in black. He will give you a Soft
Sand, which will boost Ground-type attacks by 20 percent when held. Walk
northwest and you will find a bunch of things that look like statues. They
are actually Darmanitan, the evolution of Darumaka. South of the Darmanitan
is a Fresh Water and a female Psychic to battle.

West of her is a Super Potion. If you continue walking west, you will find a
Heart Scale in the northwest corner of the Desert Resort. Heart Scales can be
given to a Move Relearner to teach a Pokemon a move that has been deleted.
From the Heart Scale, walk south past the tower to find a Psychic running
around. He has a Yamask, which is an interesting Pokemon. Yamask's ability is
Mummy. When you attack Yamask with a physical move, your Pokemon's ability
will be replaced with Mummy. It can mess you up if your Pokemon's ability is
a big part of your strategy. Yamask is a Ghost-type Pokemon so Normal-type
attacks will not hit it.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

He will also give you a Rawst Berry. Walk south and you will find TM 39, Rock
Tomb. This move deals damage, lowers your opponent's speed, and may cause
flinching. It's an okay move to use if you find yourself needed a Rock-type
move in the future. Make your way back to the female Pokemon Ranger and go
south until you find a Fire Stone. Walk east to fight a Psychic pacing back
and forth.

To prevent yourself from falling down these sink holes you need to walk, not
run, and avoid the center. As long as you walk on the outside edge of them
you won't fall through. If you fall down either of these two sink holes you
can find a Revive in the basement. There is a Backpacker past the third sink
hole that will give you a fossil. If you choose the first option, she will
give you a Cover Fossil which resurrects into Tirtouga. The second choice
nabs you the Plume Fossil which resurrects into Archen. You can take either
of the fossils back to the Nacrene City Museum to resurrect it into the
respective Pokemon at level 25. The Worker won't let you go any further so
that is all you can do for now. Head back to Route 4 and take the northern
exit to Nimbasa City.
