SUNER TOWN

"A Place full of Sunlight, with very beautiful Beaches."

Places of Interest

Yellow's House

In the middle of town we meet Prof. Ellie. She's waiting for another character - her nephew Yellow, who has also started his journey through this region. Meet the new Rival everybody :) Is he going to be bothering us with only 2 Pokémon in his team like the previous rivals? Prof. Ellie tells us that her lab is in another town called Carmin Town. Then she and Yellow leave.

It's a small town, not much. In the house on the left, speak to the blonde woman to receive Mystic Water.

Yellow's house is the north one. His mom Dara is home, proud of her son.

Leave town via the north exit.

Head over to the Lab. We meet up with Prof. Ellie, Yellow and new character Pearl, Ellie's niece. Another Rival. We are then allowed to pick a Starter Pokémon given that we're in a new region and all:

Starter Options:

Snivy
Tepig
Oshawott

Going to the right leads to the backyard, where you'll see some Pokémon out and about.

If you try to exit town via the west, you're stopped by the man standing outside the Lab, going on about we should avoid dangerous routes like that one. Okay...so east we go.

ROUTE 507

Pokémon Found:

Swellow
Shroomish
Glameow
Tranquill
Buneary

According to the sign post we find, further east is Flamerny City.

Rival Battle - Pearl:

Sceptile [lvl 65]
Reward: P1300

So ends our progress along this portion of Route 507. We go back to town and finally move west.

ROUTE 502

Pokémon Found:

Tranquill
Glameow
Chatot
Swellow

According to the sign post, further west is Rocavely City. No ledge blocking our way this time :)

Trainers:

Youngster Gabriel:

Muk [lvl 45]
Reward: P720

The item near him is a Revive.

Blackbelt Jonas:

Poliwrath [lvl 46]

South from him is TM21 (Frustration).

Pokémon Ranger Sara:

Pachirisu [lvl 45]
Reward: P2160

As we head up the steps, guess who we bump into - Silver! That makes Rival #3 here? My favourite rival out of all the rivals from the official games. Had the best Encounter theme and maybe best (Rival) Battle theme also..?

He's here and this is probably the first of many battles we'll have against him.

Rival Battle - Silver:

Typhlosion [lvl 65]
Meganium [lvl 65]
Feraligatr [lvl 65]
Reward: P1300

After he leaves, get that Ultra Ball and continue west.

Bug Catcher Cristian:

Ariados [lvl 46]

That is a Super Potion near him. Only a few steps and we step into town.

ROCAVELY CITY

"The City of Stone & Warm Weather."

Places of Interest

PokeCenter
PokeMart
Gym
Rocavely City Mineral Refinery

Rocavely City Mart

Ultra Ball - P1200
Hyper Potion - P1200
Max Potion - P2500
Full Heal - P600
Revive - P1500
Max Repel - P700
X Attack - P500
X Defend - P550
Shadow Mail - P50

Mining town. Let's look around. In the house next door to the PokeCenter, speak to the Miner to get TM49 (Rock Slide). Having played the game this far I have to say that I wish some of the TMs weren't changed, because it has meant that those moves which certain Pokémon could learn can't be learned in this game e.g. Ice Smash (Brick Break) and Glide (Aerial Ace). Will this continue with Rock Slide?

In the house to the south, near the Miner and his Aron, speak to the Hiker to get Metal Powder. The theme of rocking into a Gym city and not finding the Gym Leader at their Gym continues in this new region - blocking this Gym is a Miner who tells us that Rochelle is at the Rocavely Mines, west of town.

North of town is the entrance into Mt. Lauren.

Nothing going on at the Refinery, yet.

At the Rocavely Mines site, speak to the Miner to the left of the crane to get the Predator Fossil (Aerodactyl). In the area below we'll find Rochelle busy at work. When she's done she'll go to the Refinery. There's a Spiral Fossil (Omanyte) to the left from her.

At the Refinery, talk to Rochelle again so we can remind her to get back to the Gym. We get a Yes/No question, say No to make her leave.

Rocavely City Gym

...which looks exactly like the one in Groment City. Huh. Oh, maybe they're...Sister Gyms..?

Trainers:

Miner Stevan:

Marowak [lvl 47]
Reward: P564

Miner Sergio:

Rhydon [lvl 48]
Reward: P576

Miner Jorge:

Steelix [lvl 48]
Reward: P576

Gym Battle - Leader Rochelle:

Armaldo [lvl 64]
Bastiodon [lvl 64]
Aerodactyl [lvl 64]
Reward: P1280 + Mineral Badge (Use of TM39 Rock Climb) + TM39

There have been some amazing HMs introduced to us in the Pokémon games over the years, which make for great battle moves like Surf, Rock Smash, Strength, Fly, Dive and Waterfall...maybe Cut on a good day. As for the others...they could've been Key Items that players get in the games instead and perform the same functions. I'm looking at you Flash and Rock Climb /==./ unfortunate how TMs are not reusable in this game and here we get a major TM. What happened, creator?

Well, so now the mystery of those spots where Rock Climb is needed has been solved. Onwards into Mt. Lauren. Bring a Pokémon that has learned Rock Climb.

MT. LAUREN

Third Area

Pokémon Found:

Aron
Graveler
Onix

Grab that Ultra Ball before meeting Carolina.

Trainers:

Lass Carolina:

Gastrodon [lvl 47]
Reward: P752

Hiker Armando:

Reward: P1920

Near the Youngster above from Armando is TM23 (Iron Tail) and the exit up ahead.

Still on the mountain. Near the blonde woman who tells us about the next city, Skyner City, is an Ultra Ball. North from her is an entrance back into the mountain...but standing by the entrance is Yellow. Cue theme. Battle #1.

Rival Battle - Yellow:

Luxray [lvl 65]
Blaziken [lvl 67]
Reward: P1340

Curious about how he got here with only 2 Pokémon...maybe Blaziken can learn Rock Climb. Off he goes and in we go.

SKYNER CITY

I imagine the view up here must be majestic :) we are in the city of Flying-type Pokémon. When you're ready, let's hit the Gym.

Skyner City Gym

In this Gym there are those arrow slide panels that everyone knows and loves :) simple to navigate through. Wait...are those SPIKES down below?? Explains why the Gym Trainers are already on their Pokémon haha those spikes remind me of a castle stage from one of the GBA Mario RPGs. Superstar Saga perhaps? Or the one featuring Baby Mario & Luigi?

Trainers:

Flyer Stefany:

Skarmory [lvl 49]
Reward: P1960

From her, slide left.

Flyer Lyedson:

Altaria [lvl 49]
Reward: P1960

Slide up.

Flyer Vanessa:

Skarmory [lvl 47]
Reward: P1880

To fight the last Gym Trainer you have to slide all the way up, taking you to the area where Gym Leader Rebecca is, and then sliding back down.

Flyer John:

Altaria [lvl 49]
Reward: P1960

Then you'll have to make your way back to Rebecca. Sacrifices, eh?

Gym Battle - Leader Rebecca:

Staraptor [lvl 64]
Honchkrow [lvl 65]
Salamence [lvl 66]
Reward: P1320 + Sky Badge (Use of TM40 Glide) + TM40 + Pilot License

A Pilot License? If any of you reading this played a little game from back in the day called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...remember them flying missions that we had to do in order to get the license? Good times :) NOT. Anyway, in this game the license allows us to ride Flying-type Pokémon anywhere. Not bad. Rebecca talks about Glide a.k.a Aerial Ace in another life like its Fly, even though Fly works just fine even in this region. But using the Pilot License is unique and fun, the Pokémon you ride is Skarmory (I don't have it in my traveling party at the moment, so I assume it is the default Pokémon).

We're done here. Exit is to the east. Time to make use of that license. Bring along a Pokémon that learned to Glide.

ROUTE 504

Pokémon Found:

Staravia
Swablu

Use the Pilot License and make your way to the edge of the path. The game will ask you to use Glide and one of your Pokémon will use Glide and up into the air we go! Flying among the clouds like we're friggin 5 Star pilots :) this is neat. Carry on east.

Trainers:

Flyer Sabrina:

Skarmory [lvl 48]
Reward: P1920

Flyer Jose:

Altaria [lvl 50]
Reward: P2000

Just to the north from him, on a cloud, is a pair of Blackglasses.

Flyer Mika:

Skarmory [lvl 50]
Reward: P2000

Flyer Hiago:

Altaria [lvl 50]
Reward: P2000

Eventually we reach the edge of the other side. Follow the path south, pick up that Nest Ball you'll find in the corner to the left and then continue east. According to the sign post we see, next stop is Lendyn Town.

That item near the Bug Catcher is a Super Potion. A few steps from there is...

LENDYN TOWN

"A Calm & Tranquil Village."

Places of Interest

Reward: P2448

A deadend up ahead in the form of ledges. But you do find an Ultra Ball though haha, consolation prize?

...and then east is blocked by a trio of goons - Team Steam variety goons. These clowns again? When you approach them, one says they should hurry to a place called Kosaka City, which beyond a lake that's ahead, or else God of War/Team Steam Leader Kratos will be angry with them. Can't say I blame them for hurrying. They leave, giving us access to Route 505.

ROUTE 505 & SUNSUN LAKE

Route 505

Pokémon Found:

Grumpig
Spoink

Pidgeotto

That item you see right away is a Super Potion. Follow the path for a few steps before reaching the shore of the lake mentioned by that Team Steam grunt - Sunsun Lake.

The city of Fighting-type Pokémon. Let's have a look around.

In the first house reached on the way in, speak to the Blackbelt guy to get a Tyrogue.

In the house next door to the PokeCenter, there's a Blackbelt guy there looking to trade his Machoke for a Medicham.

Can't enter the Sky Tower yet, there's a guard blocking the entrance. But no nobody is blocking the Gym entrance so why don't we go there? Well, just as we try to walk in, out walks the Gym Leader Lucy who just so happens to be on her way to the Sky Tower because some crazy people in white are there and she has to go stop them. What a coincidence, we were just there. Another Gym challenge delayed.

SKY TOWER

Given that there are statues of Giratina in the lobby of the tower, no surprise Team Steam is here causing trouble. They sure do love their legends :) can't take that away from them - persistence.

First Floor

Trainers:

Team Steam Grunt:

Dusclops [lvl 48] (x2)
Reward: P960

Team Steam Grunt:

Roselia [lvl 49]
Reward: P980

Team Steam Grunt:

Dusclops [lvl 49]
Dusclops [lvl 50]
Reward: P1000

We find Lucy here..."training" so she can take on the grunts. I say "training" because she's just running back and forth in the same place. Unbelievable. And she's the Gym Leader here? Come on Lucy.

Team Steam Grunt:

Bagon [lvl 48]
Krokorok [lvl 49]
Altaria [lvl 50]
Reward: P1000

Second Floor

We find Kratos and 2 other grunts here, looking to catch Rayquaza (maybe there weren't any Rayquaza statues left in stock). We can't let that happen.

Boss Battle - Steam Leader Kratos:

Altaria [lvl 62]
Dusknoir [lvl 65]
Salamence [lvl 65]
Reward: P5200

Despite losing, Kratos won't give up and before he can attempt to catch Rayquaza, someone appears and puts a stop to this plan with one Dragon Claw from his Garchomp. Team Steam disappear. This person is the Lauren region's Champion Blake and he won't be having any of Team Steam's nonsense going on in this region. Rayquaza takes this chance to exit the building and Blake leaves too.

So we're done here, right? Not yet, now we have to leave the Sky Tower...and no, not via Escape Rope haha if only. Back on the 1st Floor, a couple of new Trainers have popped up to keep us a little busy. Female versions of those Sages from the Sprout Tower.

Trainers:

Lady Jessica:

Purugly [lvl 50]
Reward: P10000

Lady Melony:

Mismagius [lvl 51]

Who steps out of the Gym this time but Silver, here for battle #2.

Rival Battle - Silver:

Charizard [lvl 64]
Aggron [lvl 65]
Feraligatr [lvl 67]
Reward: P1340

ROUTE 508

Pokémon Found:

Snorlax

We find Prof. Ellie standing in the streets, she has been waiting for us. The big problem facing this place is in the form of a small iron pest - Aron. We're told they came from Mt. Vulcan nearby due to overpopulation (oO?) and the Gym Leader is studying them in Mt. Vulcan. Then we find out that Prof. Ellie is also a Trainer and NOW she figures it's a good time to battle us, because why not.

Trainer Battle - Prof. Ellie:

Milotic [lvl 64]
Altaria [lvl 65]
Manectric [lvl 65]
Houndoom [lvl 66]
Reward: P1320

NOTE: All along I have identified Prof. Ellie as a woman, given the name, and yet her battle sprite looks to be the head of that legendary PokéManiac Bill on the body of Cinnabar Island Gym Leader Blaine. So Ellie is a man then?

After the battle Prof. Ellie tells us to give the Gym Leader a Super Repel so that the Aron can be chased away. Then she...or maybe he now...leaves. Before tackling Mt. Vulcan, let's look around.

Speak to the Cooltrainer sitting on a bench nearby where we were talking to Prof. Ellie to receive a Magby.

If you're looking to get some new Pokéballs, why not visit the Flamerny City Pokéball Factory? Speak to the man at the desk on the right.

Cooltrainer Mayra:

Reward: P2592

Then we battle Luke.

Gym Battle - Leader Luke:

Blaziken [lvl 68]
Arcanine [lvl 69]
Charizard [lvl 70]
Reward: P1400 + Ruby Badge (Use of Fire Blow) + TM50

This is the move needed to deal with those rotten tree stumps that we found blocking the rest of Route 508.

We're done here. Normally we would just fly back to Kosaka City and then go north, but when I tried to fly there I noticed that it was not indicated as a destination on the Fly Map. Odd. So we're 2-stepping it. Before you go back through Flamerny Woods, leave town by going west. This leads to the remaining portion of Route 507 we couldn't reach when coming from Carmin Town. You'll find TM20 (Safeguard) and a Super Repel.

Lauren's city of the future, maybe? Looking good :) not much as far as exploration goes though so we won't be spending too much time here.

The Merydian Berry Shop is the last house reached when leaving town via the west exit. Various Berries sold, all costing P20. Here's some advice, buy an Enigma Berry. You're gonna need it soon.

Gym time.

Merydian City Gym

Talk to enough people outside and learn that the theme here is Normal-type. When we arrive, we'll find 2 doors at the north end of the main lobby, one on the left and one on the right. I hope you like labyrinths haha.

If you go through the door on the right, you meet Jaqueline.

Lady Jaqueline:

Munchlax [lvl 52]
Kecleon [lvl 53]
Reward: P10600

If you go through the door on the left, you meet Saphira.

Lady Saphira:

Lopunny [lvl 53]
Reward: P10600

Okay, from the main lobby go through that left door. In the next room go for the door on the right. We'll step out of the door on the right in the room where Jaqueline is. Go through the one on the left to find Samantha.

Lady Samantha:

Ursaring [lvl 52]
Reward: P10400

Go through the door on the right, in the next room we find Sofia.

Lady Sofia:

Miltank [lvl 53]

Final door is the one on the left.

Gym Battle - Leader Aizen:

Purugly [lvl 70]
Miltank [lvl 71]
Snorlax [lvl 72]
Reward: P1440 + Strong Badge (Use of Focus Punch) + TM01

This is the TM we'll need to break down those big rocks blocking the rest of Route 509.

If you leave town by going west you'll enter Route 510. Just a little bit of it for now.

ROUTE 510

Pokémon Found:

Luxio
Bibarel
Manectric

Trainers:

Lady Carla:

Chatot [lvl 54]
Scrafty [lvl 54]
Crawdaunt [lvl 55]
Reward: P11000

Blocking the rest of the way here isn't a bunch of rocks or rotten stumps...no, it's much worse - Team Steam :) worse because there isn't a single TM that will get rid of these guys. They haven't had much luck here but they still believe in their leaders. According to the sign post, further west is Noormeak City. The big takeaway here is the curious hole near where the grunts are blocking the way. It leads to a subterranean cavern. I wonder which TM we'll need for this one, hmm...

More bad news is that this city can't be returned to via Fly. What's up with that? Only a couple of cities in this region can be flown back to? Come on. Make your way back to Kosaka City and from there, go east.

Distant relative of Fuchsia City? Just missing a little bit more of a passion colour theme :) let's look around.

The Stone Seller's House is the one with a tiled room on the right when you arrive in town. Evolution Stones, all costing P2100.

Speak to the Cooltrainer sitting on a bench near the entrance to the Ricyan City Pokémon Zoo to receive a Poison Barb.

Don't bother going to the Gym yet, because the Gym Leader Soka is at the Zoo. He's the person standing by the enclosure where Steelix should be. 3 Pokémon have escaped from the Zoo and he's searching for them - Shinx, Snorlax and Steelix. We have to search the routes near Ricyan for them.

Shinx is the first one we'll encounter, it is in the grass area where you found the Black Belt on Route 509.

Snorlax is snoozing on Route 508, just outside Merydian City.

Then Steelix is on the western side of Sunsun Lake on Route 505. Soka found it and will return to his Gym. He can fly back no problem, we can't. Crazy.

Ricyan City Gym

At least the Gym is another simple one to get through. Straight north. But no Naruto or any other orange jumpsuit-wearing ninja to be found here except for Soka :/ super missed opportunity there!

Boss Battle - Steam Leader Percy:

Dragonite [lvl 74]
Garchomp [lvl 77]
Reward: P6160

Percy still can't believe we've managed to stop them AGAIN and the bad guys leave. Kyurem figures it might as well bolt out of here too. Oh well. Leave via that hole which brought us here.

Back outside, we can now continue on west. That item above the Beauty is ANOTHER Super Potion. Gotta be the 100th one at this point :)

Trainers:

Beauty Maria:

You got a PokeCenter AND a Pokémon Hospital. Things just got real here. We learn that the theme for the Gym is Psychic-types, so maybe having the hospital is the good idea. Let's look around.

Blocking the Gym is a guard saying the Gym Leader Kilroy is at the Hospital with his Alakazam.

At the Balloon Airport, we're told we'll need a Ticket to travel by balloon. Is this the alternative to Fly for the other cities in this region?

In the house to the right from the PokeCenter, the Cooltrainer is looking to trade her Kadabra from a Braviary.

You'll find Kilroy in the next room at the Hospital. His Alakazam had a bad fever and can only be cured by an ENIGMA BERRY. You bought one back at that Berry Shop in Merydian City, right? Right?? You better have :) Once Alakazam has been healed, Kilroy returns to the Gym.

That guard is gone now but has been replaced by one of our fun new rivals Yellow. You'll be forgiven for thinking he's here this time to help us with some information or a Key Item. Battle #2.

Rival Battle - Yellow:

Serperior [lvl 76]
Samurott [lvl 77]
Charizard [lvl 78]
Reward: P1560

Afterwards he says he's off to Ironnem City, which is north from here, to collect the 8th Badge. Then he flies off on his Charizard. How other characters can fly around in this region but we can't (except when going back to the first one or two places) absolutely baffles me. Anyway, with Yellow out of our way for now, it's Gym time.

Noormeak City Gym

In this mystical Gym we are presented with 2 paths - the "sun/Solrock path" on the right and the "moon/Lunatone path" on the left. Both paths have floors we will be sliding along on to make our way north. Slide up along the sun path because the moon path is our way back to the entrance.

Gym Battle - Leader Kilua:

Espeon [lvl 74]
Bronzong [lvl 75]
Alakazam [lvl 76]
Reward: P1520 + Illusion Badge (Use of Water Pulse) + TM03

Don't worry, we won't need Water Pulse to move across water in this region...no, we're told it is for putting out small fires outside of battle. Really?

Looks like we're done here. The next city is Ironnem City, which is north. Leaving town via the south will take us to the north side of Route 511.

Speak to the man on the bench near the PokeMart to get a Beldum.

The Meteorite Zone is in the northwest area of town and this is where you find TM23 (Iron Tail).

Oddly enough the Ironnem City Shipyard entrance is locked so no tour plan there. Good news - the Gym is NOT locked :) might as well...

Simple setup here, we be going north.

Gym Battle - Leader Stella:

Aggron [lvl 77]
Metagross [lvl 78]
Reward: P1560 + Iron Badge (Use of Whirlpool) + TM12

You can't be serious, bringing in an oldie like Whirlpool? Again, why couldn't all these pseudo-HMs be Key Items when the TMs in this game are not reusable??

No more Gym Badges to be collected, maybe that's the one bright spot we get for now. Let's see what's out east. Still moving along a water route. Bring the Pokémon you taught everything you know about whirlpools too (unless you were lucky enough to catch a Pokémon that already knew the move AND you didn't replace it with Surf haha because who would've guessed that you were going to need that Whirlpool move down the road, eh??).

Ironnem City (Eastern Route)

Pokémon Found:

Tentacool
Tentacruel

You'll find a couple of whirlpools blocking the way further east. What's at the end of this route is an island where you find TM02 (Dragon Claw). Blah. Oh by the way, Ironnem City is the other city we can return to via Fly. Congratulations.

So how do we get to the Lauren League? Speaking of Fly, use it to return to Suner Town. From there surf south. Whirlpools ahead.

LAUREN ROAD & MT. OREN

Swimmer Larissa:

Swimmer Gabriel:

We'll reach our destination, an island with a cave entrance. That item near the entrance is Super Potion #490. Here we go.

Mt. Oren

First Area

Pokémon Found:

Lairon
Rhyhorn
Bronzor

Going north. That is an Ultra Ball you see there on the right. Straight ahead is an entrance to the next area. To the right is a branch path going south, where we'll meet a couple of Team Steam grunts blocking the way further. They tell us that their boss Zero wants to speak to us at the top of this place. This has to be Team Steam's last stand.

Second Area

Pokémon Found:

Onix
Bronzor
Lairon
Machoke
Graveler

Before going up the stairs, continue north to find a Sharp Beak. Up the stairs, follow the way south to find a Max Revive. Then make your way north to the next entrance.

Mt. Oren Summit

To the left and to the right you'll find sign posts about a mystic temple and that it leads elsewhere. Straight ahead we find Zero. Just as he starts saying something almost profound, he dives back into being angry because we've kept Team Steam busy. That's us - proficient :)

Boss Battle - Steam Leader Zero:

Dragonite [lvl 77]
Haxorus [lvl 77]
Hydreigon [lvl 78]
Reward: P6240

One villain-level laugh later, he's vanished. Oh..kay. Guess Team Steam ain't done just yet then? Return to the 1st Area and continue on from where those grunts blocked the way.

First Area (Return)

Pokémon Found:

Lairon
Rhyhorn
Bronzor
Onix

That item near the exit is TM26 (Earthquake). We're out of Mt. Oren.

Lauren Road (Eastern Side)

Pokémon Found:

Tentacool

That's a Dive Ball you see as soon as you step outside.

Trainers:

Swimmer Melody:

Crawdaunt [lvl 57]
Tentacruel [lvl 58]
Sharpedo [lvl 58]
Reward: P464

Surf south and then east until we reach land again. Waiting for us are our friendly neighbourhood rivals Yellow, Pearl and Silver. Rather than go ahead and challenge the Elite 4...or, OR...battle each other for supremacy, they figured it's a great idea for the 3 of them to wait for us here and battle us one by one. This is what happens when you decide to feature multiple rivals in a game. Please, for the love of god, stop with the multiple rivals that don't add anything to the story of your games, creators. They just turn into Rival Blue/Silver 2.0s anyway.

With that out of the way, we can then go on to enter the Lauren League building. Shoutout to the Hiker near the entrance, for dropping some truth :D

Muk [lvl 73]
Nidoqueen [lvl 75]

Altaria [lvl 79]
Dragonite [lvl 80]
Flygon [lvl 80]

That takes care of the Elite 4. Champion Blake is next. It's time, Champion vs Champion for the Lauren League title!

Championship Battle - Champion Blake:

Charizard [lvl 82]
Garchomp [lvl 82]
Zoroark [lvl 84]
Hydreigon [lvl 85]
Arcanine [lvl 83]
Lucario [lvl 84]
Reward: P5100

Congratulations, you are now a Double Champion :D Nothing fancy after the battle, you get the same scene as when you became Zhery Champion and then wake up in your room.

POST-GAME CONTENT

So this might as well be the post-game side of things. Step outside and go over to the Arceus statue, where we meet up with Ash. For winning both leagues, he gives a Key Item - the World Pass. This neat little item will allow us to attend the World Championship, an annual event where the best of the best compete. Sounds good :) but Ash doesn't tell us where we're to use this World Pass. Off he goes on his Charizard that he was smart enough to NOT release (unlike a certain other Ash). Darn it, Ketchum.

Make your way back to Noormeak City and get to the Balloon Airport. Sitting on a bench out in this miserable weather is Sinnoh Champ Cynthia. Why is she out here? Well...

Trainer Battle - Champion Cynthia:

Arcanine [lvl 83]
Spiritomb [lvl 84]
Garchomp [lvl 85]
Reward: P5100

Yup, being a Double Champion pays off :) just defeated the Sinnoh Champ in a friendly non-title battle. What a waste, because afterwards she says we got potential and she has more work to do...then flies off on her Salamence. Fantastic.

Speak to the man by the balloon on the left, he'll take us to a place called Alpha Island. Sounds exotic :)

Alpha Island

No wild encounters here, just make your way east to the place that has a cave entrance. Inside, simple path, go all the way to the summit and meet your Pokémon maker - Level 50 Arceus! Good luck.

Now I'm basically freestyling it here because neither Ash nor Cynthia have been of any help. We get a World Pass but aren't even given a hint about where to use it. The Pilot License doesn't work at the Balloon Airport, nor do we have a Ticket to ride the balloon on the right. I flew back to Seanport City to check if there's another ship available that will take us to the location of the World Championship. Nothing. But here are a couple of changes that I found after flying around:

Back in Kosaka City, standing outside the Sky Tower is a familiar face - the Mysticalman himself Eusine! Still on the road searching for legendary Pokémon...but when he's got some free time...

Trainer Battle - Pokémon Trainer Eusine:

Manectric [lvl 83]
Alakazam [lvl 85]
Umbreon [lvl 84]
Reward: P1700

After the battle he gives another Key Item, the Rainbow Pass. He says it'll allow us to reach a place only strong Trainers can go. Huh? Go back to the Balloon Airport and speak to the balloon pilot on the right. He'll ask if you want to go to Mt. Rainbow. Sure.

Mt. Rainbow

Same deal as Alpha Island, no wild encounters here. Just make your way to the top and behold the multi-coloured glory - Level 50 Ho-oh! Good luck.

Next change was back in Carmin Town. Outside Prof. Ellie's lab is the next familiar face - Blair (a.k.a Hilbert) from Unova. Let's see what you got.

Trainer Battle - Pokémon Trainer Blair:

Serperior [lvl 84]
Samurott [lvl 84]
Emboar [lvl 84]
Reward: P1680

No Key Item from him though, he just flies off afterwards.

In Snowce City, we find Steven outside the Astronomy Lab. Same as Cynthia, we get another Champion vs (Double) Champion battle.

Trainer Battle - Champion Steven:

Skarmory [lvl 83]
Aggron [lvl 84]
Metagross [lvl 85]
Reward: P5100

Next change is at that island that is east from Ironnem City, where we found nothing but the Dragon Claw TM. This time there's a cave entrance leading into Mt. Sky.

Mt. Sky

Pokémon Found:

Golbat
Lairon

Ascend this new place to find the Emerald box art cover 'mon - Level 50 Rayquaza!

Then south of Ironnem City, on an island to the left minding its own business is the legendary Eusine probably missed - Level 40 Suicune! Good luck.

Lauren region is definitely not the best when it comes to travel, I can safely say that now. On my way through Route 508 I met this legendary in the grass - Level 40 Terrakion!

Fortunately you don't have to see the amount of travelling I'm doing while also typing this now haha because it seems I'm just bouncing back to places where I suspect legendary Pokémon have settled while going to the other cities to see if other key characters have appeared, hoping one of them might trigger something story wise. No luck :/

Back in Mt. Vulcan, in the small lava pool in the northwest corner I found Level 40 Heatran!

In the southern area of Dardusk Woods, you'll find Level 50 Mesprit!

Flying above the waters of Marfeny Lake is Level 40 Latios!

Even went all the way back to Bramboch Town, where there's an airport and surprise, surprise I'm told I need a Ticket to use the plane /==./ so much for that Pilot License.

??? Hours Later...

Remember that there's a Train Station back in a nice place called Central City? Yeah? Well, I'd forgotten all about it :D good grief, that is where this World Pass works. Could've helped us out with a little hint there, Ash. I was about to call it a day as far as this mini walkthrough goes haha So. Much. Travelling.

At the Train Station, don't bother with the ladies at the info desks they just tell you that a Ticket is needed. Go straight to the man by the train, flash that World Pass and board.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

We arrive in a village/town of sorts. A couple of houses, an exit to the east and then to the west is the one curious thing here. A cave entrance.

Regi Temple

No wild encounters here. No need for them because what we find instead is Level 50 Regigigas! Massive :)

We can leave town now.

World Championship (Eastern Sea Route)

Pokémon Found:

Tentacruel
Floatzel

The first Swimmer we meet tells us about a place along this route called Mt. Wish. Enough said :) it is right next door from her. Look who's awake, ready to grant that one wish? Level 40 Jirachi! Dragon Balls not included.

Continue east and eventually reach the location of the tournament. Everyone is pumped and ready. Inside the building, speak to the lady on the left at the desks to the right. It is time to take on the world!
