INTRODUCTION
Pokemon Nameless beta version 5.48 (complete) detailed walkthrough by Olivia R. (note this is a ROM hack, I do not own this and will not distribute this hack, but I am the author of this walkthrough so if you use it credit me). As a reminder, you need a clean Pokemon Fire Red ROM (please find it yourself), a patching utility like FLIPS and a GBA Emulator (I used VBA) to play Pokemon Nameless (you can also google a pre-patched rom too but that is risky).
This will be a strict text walkthrough of the rom hack featuring what you need to do to get through the game as well as the trainers and their Pokemon. This hack is a prequel/sequel to Pokemon Mega Power, and a sequel to Pokemon Resolute, both done by the same author, Wind1158. As I played those two ROM hacks, as well as Pokemon Victory Fire, expect a few familiar characters from those games! And always, expect spoilers in this walkthrough. You have been warned.
This walkthrough for a ROM hack has been updated to the latest version possible, feel free to report inaccuracies if you notice any. Make sure to check out my Battle Arenas Guide as well, since one region in the game specializes in these and there are random trainers to face each time! And if the walkthrough is a little long for finding things, sorry, this is quite an expansive ROM hack. But I did create separate guides for Legendary Pokemon locations, Mega Stone Locations, and Crafting to consolidate things. Check those out when you can.
Notable features in this hack:
- Mega evolutions (including new ones from Legends Z-A and Mega Dimension)
- Pokemon up to Gen-9, including Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian and Paldean forms of certain Pokemon
- Can reuse Repels when one wears off
- HMs replaced by skills (but they are still acquirable as TMs)
- A somewhat nonlinear storyline
- Many sidequests
- An extensive Think menu, which you can use for various things
- Can change Pokemon's natures, abilities, and even Hyper Training
- Can recatch legendaries that have fainted/ran away
- Hunt for berries, minerals, fossils, and Pokemon nests using skills
- Craft items and Poke Balls using a crafting system
- A Laptop that can access several PokeCenter and PokeMart options among other things, it needs applications to work!
- L button opens the Fly menu (need the Birdcall LvX skill)
- R button gets off and on Tauros (replaces the Bicycle, need Rider LvX skill)
- New music for the towns and major locations
- Higher chance of shinies with a certain item (plus a few static shiny encounters), can also change your own Pokemon to shinies with a post-game feature
- Familiar faces from mainline games such as Gladion, and familiar characters from Wind1158's previous ROM hacks Victory Fire, Resolute, and Mega Power
- New region - Cyenn, with its own specific challenges different from an ordinary Pokemon League
- Familiar regions Western Tyron (from Victory Fire), Spiral Island (Resolute), Lande (Mega Power), and the Sevii Islands
- Unknown unlockable locations with strong Pokemon and other secrets
CYENN REGION WALKTHROUGH
S.S. BRIGHTNESS
When you start the game, it will be different from other ROM hacks. You'll already be treated to a cutscene, showing a young version of the player character: Chronya. For those who played Pokemon Mega Power, you may recognize her as the silver-haired Amazon who was introduced very late as the champion of Western Tyron. This time, we'll be playing as Chronya in this ROM hack. You actually cannot rename her in this hack. And to start things off, the young Chronya has overslept, but also realizes that her mother is not here. She then leaves her room, and you have control. It seems you're onboard a ship! First things first, check the menu. There's a new option at the bottom, called THINK, where you can basically think about what to do next.
If you must know, Chronya's mother is the general known as Altena, as confirmed by the black belt in this hall. The other cabins in this hall are locked, so head west to the bow of the ship. At the very end is Altena herself. During the talk, she mentions that you won't be able to return home, where might that be I wonder? The destination we are going to is the Cyenn region. This region has been referenced only a few other times in Wind's rom hacks. I believe the character Alvaro, who is from Victory Fire and Resolute, hailed from here, although in those hacks it was mistranslated as the Cyna region. Altena will mention that your father actually lives in that region.
Just then, shaking occurs. Oh, it's the Dark Workers! Yeah, I recognized those uniforms from Victory Fire and Mega Power; they are a notable enemy team throughout Wind's rom hacks, and are actually an enemy team for hire. Altena reasons that the king of the Valo Empire put them up to it, and that Altena herself is actually a general of the Valo Empire. Altena then goes up to face the Dark Workers. The Dark Workers prove to be crafty, setting up a trap to send Altena below. Then, they turn to you, attempting to kill you the same way. Chronya however immediately jumps ship. Determining that Chronya probably wouldn't survive in the sea, the Dark Workers then decide to blow up the ship to remove evidence of their crimes.
MATAR ISLAND
Mons found:
Geodude: 95% (rock smash) • Magikarp: 70% (old rod), 20% (good rod) • Tentacool: 60% (surf) • Seadra: 41% (super rod) • Horsea: 40% (super rod) • Lapras: 31% (surf) • Poliwag: 30% (old rod), 60% (good rod) • Yungoos: 30% • Hoothoot: 20% • Pidgey: 20% • Gyarados: 15% (super rod) • Chingling: 10% • Salandit: 9% • Sandshrew: 5% • Abra: 5% • Graveler: 5% (rock smash) • Buizel: 5% (surf), 20% (good rod) • Finneon: 4% (surf) • Floatzel: 4% (super rod) • Drifloon: 1%
Chronya awakens onto this island. Move anywhere and the person to the right notices you awakening. The man is Gavin, a member of Cyenn's Information Agency. Having heard about what happened to the S.S. Brightness, he is looking for info, and you tell him what happened. You will immediately be brought to three people and a helicopter. One of them is Gavin's dad, Galen! Interesting. One of the main villains of Pokemon Mega Power, it looks like he's good and has his real son too. The redhead is Vertice, the leader of this squad, while the blue-haired guy is Bruce, the general tough guy, claiming he's strong enough to lift a Steelix. The guys plan to find more survivors, but then they have to realize that someone needs to take care of Chronya. They decide to have her stay on the helicopter. You then receive a Pokemon, Lopunny! But you don't get control yet. A Dark Worker arrives! He has waited until this moment to attack you. Your first battle. Do take note, the Lopunny you have is Lv12 and is a permanently-evolved Mega Lopunny!
Dark Worker Grunt: Yungoos Lv9, Koffing Lv9 (both know only Tackle as a move), P288
You may have beaten the bad guy, but he still manages a win over you by blowing up the helicopter. It looks like we're stranded here for now. Head east now and you'll run into two more grunts. They'll try to tag team you. But Gavin arrives in time to be a hero, and lets you deal with only one of these grunts.
Dark Worker Grunt: Dewpider Lv11, P352
Gavin finds out the helicopter was blown up. Regardless of the situation, Gavin vows to protect Chronya. Follow him east and up. As you go, you might find a tree with berries on it. However, you cannot reach them for now. The woman you see up ahead functions as a healing spot, use it when needed, then go across the grass. You'll also see a beehive, actually a Pokemon nest. Again, you can't do anything about this now.
Dark Worker Grunt: Nymble Lv9, Zorua Lv11, Machop Lv10, P320
You'll want to talk to the gentleman you find next. He's another of the survivors, but he also aids you by giving you six Potions and two Ultra Balls!
Dark Worker Grunt: Salandit Lv13, Ember, Poison Gas, Tackle, Leer, P416
Soon, you will see a grunt attacking a scientist from the Aether Foundation. Instead of attempting to kill the guy, he instead gives the scientist an offer of work. The scientist disagrees, and you rush in to help the guy. The grunt thinks it would be more rewarding to catch you now!
Dark Worker Grunt: Mudbray Lv12, Cubone Lv13, P416
After the grunt runs, the scientist says that the Dark Workers stole from Aether Paradise a Pokemon called Type: Full. He gives you a Helmet key item and a Popplio! It's Lv14.
Dark Worker Grunt: Munna Lv12, Mimikyu Lv9, P288
Keep going. You'll see rocks to the east, but won't be strong enough to break them (there's no HMs in this game to worry about, you get a skill that will allow you to smash rocks eventually). Next to the rocks is a mineral deposit you can excavate, containing any sort of item, such as a Metal Dust, White Clay, or Tinymushroom. Or you might not get anything. The items you get are used for crafting later on. More info in the Appendix.
Dark Worker Grunt: Gastly Lv14, P448
Head east to get a Full Heal. There's some steps if you head north from the last grunt where Gavin is, but head west from him first. Another mineral deposit is here. Talk to Gavin now. He will heal your mons, and he also states that he found the secret headquarters of the Dark Workers. You want to help, but he tells you to stay behind, with his dad ensuring that you and the others are safe. Chronya still is determined to help out, and this perseverance seems to be unconvincing, so Gavin will battle you now.
Agent Gavin: P512
Lucario Lv27, Detect, Mind Reader, Foresight • Drifblim Lv32, Memento, Thunder Wave
Almost seems like an unwinnable fight, but notice his moveset, as neither of his mons had any attacking moves. So yeah, it's a bogus battle more or less (tip: send out Mega Lopunny when he has Drifblim, since your Lopunny has Limber and he will be forced to use Memento). That wasn't a hard battle, just a weird one. Gavin had that moveset specifically to prove that you shouldn't underestimate your foes, despite the fact he technically is impossible to lose to. At least he heals your mons again. Still, Chronya wants to help out, but Gavin points out that the Dark Workers are so cruel as to even betray their own kin at times. Gavin even had a wife that was a ninja working for the Dark Workers, betraying Gavin after he had a daughter and kidnapping her. When he goes in, just follow him.
Mons found (cave):
Zubat: 30% • Geodude: 21% • Machop: 15% • Trapinch: 15% • Drilbur: 14% • Onix: 5%
Interestingly, whenever you transition between areas, the mineral deposits you have salvaged will respawn when you re-enter an area, so it's possible to get even more materials if you exit and re-enter this cave and go back to the mineral deposits at your leisure. When ready, head up to find Galen, who was told by his son to protect you. Someone shows up behind him and wounds him, then you get attacked.
Dark Worker ???: P2208 (trainer has 4x Full Restores)
Marshadow Lv67: Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Shadow Punch, Karate Chop • Crobat Lv67: Poison Fang, Aerial Ace, Confuse Ray, Toxic • Arcanine Lv68, Extremespeed, Flamethrower, Roar, Earthquake • Blastoise Lv67, Surf, Skull Bash, Ice Beam, Aura Sphere • Mimikyu Lv66, Play Rough, Shadow Ball, Curse, Protect • Kangaskhan Lv69, Fake Out, Dizzy Punch, Body Slam, Bulk Up
Okay now we have an unwinnable battle. Unless you're cheating, there's no way to win against this team, and I'm sure that if you actually win this battle the game proceeds as if you lost. All of a sudden, Galen gets up! He reveals that his assassin missed the mark, although he was almost killed there. Looks like Galen also decided to break this mystery person's arms while they battled you. The mystery ninja mentions another man who was killed though. Who? Well, the ninja vanishes, so now we're left wondering. You'll also be healed. Galen also reasons that it's possible one of his colleagues was the victim, fearing that it could have been his son. You still wish to offer help to Galen's group, and regain control once he leaves.
Pick up material from the mineral deposit and exit to the left. Outside, and to the right, it looks like we have our answer to that last question. Yep, Gavin's corpse is lying right there, with Galen with him. Gavin in his final words says that it is too late to save him. Also, the mystery ninja is actually a woman, perhaps it was the same ninja who Gavin used to be married to? In mourning, Galen realizes what he's gotta do next, and invites Chronya to keep going with him. After he leaves, Chronya walks to Gavin's corpse and realizes she must continue on too, not crying over Gavin dying here. Head down, this looks like the entrance to the Dark Worker's hideout!
Dark Worker Grunt: Koffing Lv14, Joltik Lv15, P480
Inside the base, the first person you find is that black belt from the ship! He's happy that you're alive, but he's not able to help right now due to not having his Pokemon with him. So he functions as a healing point. Head up to see Bruce and Galen. Galen doesn't tell Bruce about Gavin and goes, while Bruce talks to you. Chronya however tells Bruce what happened. Bruce worries about everyone, and wants you to follow the group closely. Head up and let's battle a couple of grunts.
Dark Worker Grunt: Cubone Lv15, Gastly Lv15, P480
Dark Worker Grunt: Dewpider Lv16, P512
Dark Worker Grunt: Sandshrew Lv15, Magnemite Lv16, P512
Chronya will soon find Vertice, who's injured. Looks like he's out of Pokemon, so he's just sitting here. You promise Vertice you'll be helping the other two. To the west of him are several lifts, which are actually rooms. There's Project 003, 002, and 001 respectively as you go left, then the Commander's Room. To the south, Galen and Bruce. If you talk to them, they reason that one of the rooms may have the key. And funny enough, they plan to try and bring the door down themselves while you try to find the key in one of the rooms.
Okay, enter the Commander's room. It's empty, but inspect the picture in the back. It shows a portrait of a man and a woman. The purple-haired woman is determined to be the leader of the Dark Workers, at least here. Leave and enter Project 001's room. Read the clipboard here, mentioning the abandoned Mega Power I project. This project seemed to be missing, but afterwards, another test object had been created to be used in Mega Power II. Leave and enter Project 002's room. Nothing here but to read the clipboard here too. This is actually a diary, owned by someone who may be similar to a character in Mega Power. Said character is a test subject, it seemed, and also was to put on some power armor, then had something put in their brain! The person even tried to commit suicide. Also, the mother had another child, but the father took that one to safety, before this one was born. Seems a lot similar to certain protagonists from Mega Power! After you're done, there's one final room to go. Enter Project 003's room and read the clipboard here. Here we have a project called "Human Fushion", which I think that last word should be "Fusion". This project is actually finished, combining human and Pokemon DNA to create warriors with flexible bodies and Pokemon abilities, and references a new character called Doctor MK, combining Pokemon DNA with his daughter to create a powerful Pokemon warrior called Eliza. For those familiar with Wind's ROM hacks, Eliza was a prominent character in all of them as a Zoroark warrior. This explains her origins. The project then states she was to grow into a strong warrior for their organization. Assuming you've seen the picture as well as the rest of the clipboards in the rooms, you'll get the Key! I believe you have to enter every single room, and the last clipboard (or picture) you inspect is where the Key shows up.
Return to Galen and Bruce, and it looks like their brute force trick isn't getting them anywhere. Chronya gives them the Key to open the door. Galen goes on, and Bruce follows, but not before he apologizes to Chronya about putting her in danger. Chronya goes further and says that when they get off this island, that they should find her father, but surprisingly, to tell her father that she's dead. The reason behind this is to prevent her father from being in danger, and if she were to return to him, that would put him in danger. Bruce then thinks that it might not be the best of ideas, since his father would never be happy. Chronya however believes this is for the best. Bruce finds this inspiring, and will fulfill the promise. When he goes, you can continue.
Dark Worker Grunt: Zubat Lv15, Drifloon Lv15, Gumshoos Lv16, P512
Head upstairs, there's a little girl that is a part of the Dark Workers and you have to battle her. She considers herself a loyal servant and doesn't even have a name, all that matters is being a servant.
Dark Worker Servant: P600 • Abra Lv15, Confusion, Calm Mind
Go to the next staircase, since there's nothing else on this floor. Notice a cage with two children, that when you get to the steps, a hole forms in their cage and the kids are freed! Upstairs, Galen and Bruce are dealing with three grunts, so go past them. Keep going, and you will eventually find that purple-haired woman. Instead of wanting to kill Chronya, she wishes to do some experiments on her! The masked killer is her child. Chronya is determined to bring this woman down for killing her mother and Gavin. You then get ready to battle Type: Full! You also learn that this woman is Viperum, commander of the Dark Workers! Yep, she was an incredibly minor character in Pokemon Mega Power whom "The Shady" confronted at Belladonna Prison for her experiments, and "The Shady" was indeed her child, along with the other who escaped.
PKMN Trainer ???: P272 (trainer has a Potion)
Silvally Lv17, Thrash, Bite, Air Slash, Tri Attack
Yeah, that's actually Type: Null's evolved form, Silvally. In any case, the armored trainer cannot control it and it'll likely break down this entire hideout. Holes appear, and Chronya falls down one. After Type: Full flees, Bruce arrives to arrest Viperum, but wonders about Chronya. Then, the masked killer, now referred to as "The Hooded", shows up, saying that an agent hurt them while trying to kill the agent, which sounds a lot like what happened earlier with Galen. But maybe it's a different agent, since "The Hooded" seemed to have killed them now? Even worse, more Dark Workers are being sent to look for Chronya. Bruce decides to leave at this point. "The Hooded" also explains to Viperum that Chronya died after falling in the hole, because she seemingly fell into the ocean, which has been confirmed by the other Dark Workers. Despite this, "The Hooded" confirms that this was a loss for the Dark Workers, as the agents have succeeded in their infiltration. Also, "The Hooded" wants Viperum to escape with her child, so to do so would be taking off the armor. Viperum disagrees, since the child won't obey at that point, and instead would rather have the child die. When she and "The Hooded" leave, the child seems to be free. Someone approaches, it's Galen! He finds the kid, and promises to keep the kid safe. The kid wishes to be indebted to Galen forever. Well, we just got our origin story for the character soon to be "The Shady" in Pokemon Mega Power! We don't get a name, or even a gender for this character, as the game cuts back to a cave where Chronya is now in.
Chronya finds out she's in a cave, which isn't safe, so she decides to keep going. The Pokemon found here will be the same as in the other cave you were in, so look back there for info. Head left (if you head south, you'll see a rock, but cannot smash it). If you take the cave exit here, you'll wind up on the other side of the area where you first saw smashable rocks on this island, with nothing to actually do. Head south from this cave entrance. You'll see a rather familiar Pokemon off to the side as you go. Keep going left and check the mineral deposit, then take the steps and head east to reach this Pokemon. Chronya decides to try and help the Pokemon that was used earlier. The Potions she uses won't work, but then she remembers the Helmet that she got from the scientist earlier. Now, the mon won't be called Type: Full, but rather Type: Null! It's original name! It automatically joins your team, and can evolve into Silvally with high friendship.
Just keep going on the linear path. You'll find an exit, but Dark Workers find you! Chronya rushes out.
SADR PATH
Mons found:
Magikarp: 70% (old rod), 20% (good rod) • Finneon: 60% (surf) • Poliwag: 60% (good rod) • Poliwhirl: 40% (super rod) • Tentacool: 30% (surf) • Pidgey: 24% • Yungoos: 20% • Gyarados: 15% (super rod) • Oddish: 10% • Flittle: 10% • Hoothoot: 10% • Wooloo: 10% • Mudbray: 5% • Electrike: 5% • Corsola: 5% (surf), 40% (super rod) • Cubone: 4% • Buizel: 4% (surf), 20% (good rod) • Floatzel: 4% (super rod) • Frillish: 1% (surf), 30% (old rod) • Jellicent: 1% (super rod) • Galarian Farfetch'd: 1% • Audino: 1%
This shoreline is a dead end. Once again, Chronya leaps to the sea. The Dark Workers then decide to be lazy and wait to confirm that Chronya died at sea. Two hours later, we cut to these Dark Workers again, and it seems as if that's enough time to make them say that their mission is done. You'll be in an underground chamber now, so move down and although surprised about surviving, Chronya runs into Bruce! But Bruce says he didn't save you, and mentions that a Lapras was there to help, and got you into this cave, which is deep underwater. At this point, you should be safe from those Dark Workers. An earthquake soon occurs, oh, there are now rocks in this area blocking the way out. Bruce will demonstrate his strength to break the rock, despite what you've already learned with regards to just using an HM. Chronya wants to be as strong as Bruce some day, and he says for Chronya to train hard! Chronya wants to train under Bruce, even if it means to train all day. She doesn't want people to protect her, but rather to be strong to protect everyone. Next, Bruce and Chronya go to the waterside, where Chronya mentions that she couldn't swim. Rather interesting, considering she survived two times in the water. This is, in fact, our first lesson here. Well, it's not too much of a lesson, as Bruce and Chronya leap into the water in a cutscene. Now you're in a town.
MONOLITH TOWN
Bruce tells you this should be your new home. He then takes you to his house, but an old man stops him to welcome him back. Of course, this old man is the mayor of the town. The old man jokes that Chronya is now considered a daughter to Bruce, and mentions a certain Cyasine. Those who played Victory Fire and Resolute, she was actually a member of the Tyron Elite Four in those games! You then go right to Cyasine, who is Bruce's actual daughter. The two girls are introduced as sisters! Or friends? It seems that the two stammer in their introductions. Cyasine then wants you to visit her secret base, and the game cuts here for a twelve-year time skip.
We now have control of a much older Chronya, who has the look of the one in Mega Power. She follows the same routine each day, but is happy about it. At this time, she has received a letter from Cyasine, and yes, it is at this time that Cyasine has since been a member of Tyron's Elite Four. Bruce, in the meantime, has resumed his old job, and Chronya herself basically helps the villagers in town these days. A mysterious person then shows up. His name is Grima. For those who don't know, Grima is the alias of the investigator known as Sirus, a major character in both Resolute and Mega Power. He's a prosecutor in the Cyenn Information Agency at this time, and a new colleague of Bruce's. Although not Chronya's real father, there is a new revelation: Bruce is missing. He was last heard from going after the organization known as Team Delta, the team from Mega Power. Chronya, as usual, wants to help, but is turned down. Despite this, Chronya vows to find Bruce. Where's her bow?
Now that you have control, you can check out the map of the Cyenn region as well as access a PC. Get the Mega Bow in that Poke Ball near the PC. It is a key item and was given to Chronya by Bruce. This Mega Bow is, if you can tell by the name, something that can mega-evolve your Pokemon! Something to think about on your journey. Although your Lopunny is a permanent mega-evolution, and you don't have any Mega Stones either. Now, to buy a Town Map and a PokeDex from Mr. Mecan in town. This Mr. Mecan used to be a black market salesman (maybe from Marble City in Tyron?). Leave your house.
In case you're wondering, yes, you can run now. You never could actually run when Chronya was a kid (given the circumstances, it would have made sense, actually). Mr. Mecan is to the left of your house. Talk to him, and Chronya requests exactly what she's looking for. Thankfully, Mr. Mecan's got both. After telling him of Bruce's disappearance, Mr. Mecan is shocked, since he too was saved by Bruce long ago. You need a combined total of P200 to get both the Town Map and Pokedex, for some reason. He also functions as the basic shop.
Mr. Mecan's Shop: Town Map: P50 • Pokedex: P150 • Poke Ball: P200 • Potion: P300 • Antidote: P400 • Parlyz Heal: P200 • Awakening: P250 • Burn Heal: P250 • Escape Rope: P550 • Repel: P350
Mr. Mecan will have these items for sale any time sans the Town Map and Pokedex afterwards. Refer to the Mart Wares section in the Appendix to show what particular wares get added each time as you progress through the game. Exploring town, you'll find out more of Bruce's past, in that he used to be a member of Tyron's Elite Four before Cyasine took on that role. Chronya also learned how to swim as well. At some point, apparently Chronya and Cyasine were both vice leaders of Whitewave City's old gym. They have what's known as Battle Bases there now, and we'll reach Western Tyron in this game soon. There's a mineral deposit behind the left house. When you're ready, leave at the NE exit.
PRISM FOREST
Mons found:
Gyarados: 55% (super rod) • Marill: 30% (surf) • Poliwag: 20% (good rod) • Deerling: 20% • Cherubi: 20% • Gossifleur: 11% • Pidgey: 10% • Cutiefly: 10% • Oddish: 10% • Dewpider: 5%, 60% (surf) • Exeggcute: 5% • Magikarp: 5% (surf), 100% (old rod), 80% (good rod) • Carvanha: 5% (surf), 40% (super rod) • Sharpedo: 5% (super rod) • Fomantis: 4% • Buneary: 4% • Kangaskhan: 1%
Recommended level: Lv17
An interesting person is in front of you, and she seems familiar to Chronya. She's the mayor of Shedir Town and her name is Vindica. She does wish to help you, and instructs you towards the nearby sign. Interestingly, the sign instructs you to a recommended level, in this case Lv17. Vindica tells you to take a gander at every sign you see, which shouldn't be a problem to the seasoned RPG player. You still need her teachings, so follow her as she goes east (no you can't cut the tree to the west yet).
I should also mention, you have new key items in your bag. They are Archery Lv1 (allows you to get berries you couldn't get before!), Strength Lv1 (rock smash), and Swimming Lv1 (surf). Yep, no need for HMs for this hack!
Youngster Tyler: Yungoos Lv17, P272
Check out the mineral deposit and maybe catch some mons before your next lesson (though do be careful if you intend to go for a certain kind of team, since you don't have access to a Pokemon Storage System at the moment). You will also see a very strange Pokemon which is across the pond, but ignore it for now and go to Vindica.
Elite Pokemon Note: Yes, you could swim to it right now, revealing that it is Guardian Alerina, but that thing is Lv99. This is something in the newest versions of this rom hack (v5.41 onward), a set of elite Pokemon that are altered in appearance but are the same species as Pokemon you may know, in this case this is an elite Sawsbuck. Challenging Alerina is absolutely not recommended right now; however, when you get the chance to do so, which will likely be when you're almost done with the game, you can initiate battle with the Pokemon. When you battle, you will not be allowed to use your bag, so you must KO the Pokemon. When you do, you will receive a reward, in this case it is a Bottle Cap. Elite Pokemon stay on the field after you battle them, meaning that you can get their rewards repeatedly and grind on them. However, there's one thing that should be mentioned. If you battle an Elite Pokemon with the regular species of that Pokemon in the front of your party, and they survive the battle, they will change to also be of that elite form! So in this specific case, battling Alerina with a Sawsbuck of your own will cause your Sawsbuck to become Alerina. This is the only way to actually get the Elite Pokemon as party members, with a few exceptions. There are 17 of these Elite Pokemon in the game, and you will be seeing their names in underlined words.
Vindica now talks about Battle Messengers, who you actually give money to ask the trainers for a rematch. Interesting mechanic, but my walkthroughs usually do not talk about rematching trainers that much. If you are in the mood for it though, you can rematch to grind your team to the recommended levels in each area. Vindica also mentions your archery skills, which I just told you earlier can be used for picking berries from the trees. You'll automatically pick up the Oran Berry. Whenever you pick berries from now on, they will generally be one of the more common berries (or you might not get anything), and like the mineral deposits, you can have them respawn to collect as much as you need. Vindica then tells you about swimming, which Chronya also was taught how to do. Follow her north. At the north end, inspect the second flower patch you come to for a Chesto Berry.
Lass Ann: Pidgey Lv17, Bellsprout Lv18, P288
Keep going and inspect the mineral deposit. There's a Pokemon nest soon, but you can't do anything with it despite your skills. Keep going west and pick the berry, then head south. Swim across the pond, making note of the dark patch (we can't do anything here). Across the pond is an Ether.
Bug Catcher Rick: Cutiefly Lv18, Beedrill Lv18, P216
The camper to the left is the Battle Messenger here. You need to pay him P850 to rematch the trainers. From what I can tell, rematching trainers won't actually level up their teams in this game, so grind away at them anytime you need in an area. When ready, continue south. Head north and head to the west side, inspecting the flower there for a Lum Berry. Worth noting, but the berries you can inspect on the ground can reappear after a day or so.
Picnicker Heidi: Lotad Lv18, Mudbray Lv19, P380
Pick the last set of berries and speak to Vindica. She'll heal your mons and let you know that Shedir Town is a ways away from here before going.
ALPHERATZ PATH
Mons found:
Pidgey: 26% • Yungoos: 20% • Oddish: 10% • Paldean Wooper: 10% • Nymble: 10% • Abra: 10% • Hoothoot: 6% • Audino: 4% • Dunsparce: 4%
Recommended level: Lv19
You'll see a camping spot, along with "The Man". It seems he doesn't have a name yet, but you tell him your story. He eventually does reveal his name, Ted, and he's a handicraftsman whose father was a better one in the Tyron region. He's acquainted with Bruce too. When Ted's dad died, he traveled to the Cyenn region. Ted will now start crafting in a cutscene. He crafts a Shell Bell, and gives it to you for free! He'll then teach you how to craft, starting with a Quick Claw and an Amulet Coin. I don't think you get anything, but you do pick up the skill Craft Lv1! It does exactly what it says.
The camping spot can be used as a free resting spot as well. Look up the Crafting document for what you can craft at Lv1.
So now what? Try going left first to get a Poke Ball. What's this entrance? This is an enclosed spot, where the only thing here is Audre. She is the Megaguardian of Audino. She challenges you to defeat her in combat in order to give you the Mega Stone of Audino (recommended level, Lv20)
Megaguardian Audre: P252 and an Audinite (trainer has 2x Super Potions) • Audino Lv21, Fairy Wind, Wish, Pound, holds Audinite
Yes, there is now in-battle mega evolutions this time around, and yes, she will mega-evolve her Audino right away. So when you get an Audino, you can mega-evolve it with the mega stone given by Audre here! Furthermore, and this is for all Megaguardians, you can return to any of them to actually buy their respective Mega Stones without battling! Go back and go to the campsite if needed, then head east and up.
Gentleman Arthur: Vulpix Lv18, Cubone Lv19, P1368
The black belt is the Battle Messenger here, and charges P550. You can't cut the tree here, but try to go near it, it's a disguised trainer!
Camoufleur Dirk: Joltik Lv18, Gligar Lv18, P648
Get the Potion and backtrack. Head up, pick berries, get minerals...
Beauty Grace: Buizel Lv19, Snover Lv19, P1368
SHEDIR TOWN
Mons found:
Magikarp: 60% (surf), 100% (old rod), 20% (good rod), 15% (super rod) • Yungoos: 40% • Marill: 30% (surf) • Finneon: 20% (good rod) • Weedle: 20% • Electrike: 14% • Wooloo: 11% • Flittle: 10% • Buneary: 5% • Buizel: 5% (surf), 60% (good rod), 84% (super rod) • Poliwag: 4% (surf) • Dewpider: 1% (surf), 1% (super rod)
Yes, there's Pokemon to find in this town. Tall grass to the east and a few ponds.
Go up to Vindica, who introduces you to the PokeCenter. Well, not really, as you aren't really a rookie trainer at this point. She'll continue to show you around town, but then two people are standing in the way. It's Genba and Absolve, ninjas from Pokemon Mega Power! Vindica immediately namedrops the two and even tells you that they work for the Cyenn Information Agency. Vindica mentions that they've been partners ever since they were little. When they notice you, Genba greets Vindica, and Vindica also says that prosecutor Grima mentioned them about Chronya. Chronya immediately asks about Bruce, but they can't say what has happened to him, because she's not a part of the rescue team. Absolve mentions she's not an official agent, unlike Genba, but can still collect information and steal things. Genba then changes the subject and mentions another familiar character from Mega Power, Kasper, leader of Team Delta, who was last seen in Enif City. Absolve goes to investigate. Chronya immediately figures out why Genba sent Absolve away, because he doesn't want her to hear what he's about to mention twelve years ago. He mentions about the most famous traveler of the Sylon region, sounds an awful lot like the protagonist from Pokemon Resolute!
And now for something different. Since Chronya apparently does know about this traveler, we are now treated to a quiz! Genba asks, is this traveler a boy or a girl? Well, if you played Pokemon Resolute and know about your character, go ahead and pick that character! You are then prompted to input this character's name, and I think you can use whatever name, but I gave you the default names: Logan for the male and Alma for the female. Genba then surprises Chronya by saying that Logan/Alma will be her new partner. It seems that Grima knows that you were searching for Bruce yourself, so the protagonist from Pokemon Resolute will be helping Chronya out. Even though Grima didn't want you to join the team, he's alright with you secretly looking for Bruce. Genba now goes, and you talk to Vindica about how you want to help others without being helped yourself.
Onwards with the tour! Vindica then gives you the location of the Battle Arena, and how you will be going to the Lv1 Defender status, by beating the Lv1 Defender who is currently there. Then, you face three more challengers. Defeat them to become a higher-leveled trainer. Vindica will announce she's the defender of the Lv1 competition, and will await your challenge when you're ready for her.
Time to explore town! The granny nearby mentions that a certain Klaus used to be mayor of this town 24 years ago. Head east from the pond east of the battle arena, behind the house, and at the edge of the pond you can find a hidden Razz Berry (along with a berry tree). A black belt near the PokeMart can teach Mega Kick.
Talk to the fisherman near the PokeMart to get the Old Rod! There's tall grass to the east, as well as the entrance to Alya Cave, but we'll hold off on that until we finish with the town. A black belt near the east cave entrance mentions a professor in Enif City who's working on what's known as an "Exp Share 2", remember this for later. A hidden Great Ball is near the north exit near a Pokemon nest. North is Sadr Path, but again, we'll hold off on this for now. Exploring the west side of town, you'll find out that Cyenn doesn't have a Pokemon League, unlike other regions. If you swim in the SW pool and land on the other side, find a hidden Persim Berry to the south. The house nearest it has a girl who will teach Mega Punch. That's it for the town, except for the Battle Arena!
So now let's enter. Immediately to the left is a Pokemon Move Maniac who as always will teach previous moves to Pokemon if necessary. Don't worry about mushrooms, since mineral deposits can be re-excavated any time. The receptionist on the right will allow you to choose a rank, assuming you're a defender. But you're not one at the moment, so talk to the left receptionist. Select the Lv1 Defender to challenge (you need higher rank to select the others) and are recommended to be at Lv22. After being registered, you go up to a simple battle arena to battle Vindica.
Defender Vindica: P2000, Defender Lv1, and Observer LvX (trainer has a Super Potion)
Gligar Lv22, Dig, Bite, Rock Slide • Charcadet Lv23, Smog, Ember, Will-O-Wisp • Lurantis Lv20, Leaf Blade, Fury Cutter, Slash
Observer LvX is basically the Itemfinder, but also means you can find the full Pokemon list in all locations by reading signs now. Although this guide will still tell you the encounter rates. Vindica also mentions that other Defenders will also give you skills when you beat them. She also mentions that, as a new Defender, you will face challengers who will battle you. To do so, talk to the right receptionist and select Lv1. You will be on the right side this time. Refer to the Battle Arenas guide to see what kinds of trainers you will be facing in the Lv1 category. For this matchup and this matchup alone, the third trainer is not a random opponent. It's your new partner Logan/Alma who's the final challenger. I'm gonna assume you picked the default names, cause that's what they were in Resolute and that's their names in Mega Power. Trainer info for both is listed here:
Rival Logan: P352
Arcanine Lv19, Quick Attack, Ember • Keldeo Lv21, Water Pulse, Double Kick • Lucario Lv22, Aura Sphere, Metal Claw
Rival Alma: P352
Ninetales Lv19, Ember, Quick Attack • Keldeo Lv21, Water Pulse, Double Kick • Mienshao Lv22, Aura Sphere, Thunderpunch
Now that you have defended your Defender title for three consecutive trainers, you now become a Lv2 Challenger. Once you head down, Logan/Alma, Vindica, and another person are all waiting. While Vindica summarizes what we know, the new person reveals herself as one of the defenders you could be facing in the future, named Salvia. She's a Lv2 Defender. Vindica also mentions that if you get to LvEX, the highest level, you'll be the champion of the whole region if you manage against six consecutive challengers! Logan/Alma then comes up to Chronya, and while she wants to go alone, Logan/Alma wants to help out. Chronya still prefers to go alone though. Then, you get a clue that Team Delta was sighted in Etamin City, and Genba is waiting for you there.
From this point, the game is actually fairly open-ended. The one thing you will have to worry about on your journey would be the recommended levels for each area you come across. Also, since you are a Lv2 Challenger, you can now face the Lv2 Defender, who of course was Salvia from before. But your recommended level should be Lv30 or so, so hold off until you are ready or go to a different Battle Arena to face a different Lv2 Defender. You can always rematch the Lv1 Defender matches if you want, but not the Lv1 Challenger match.
Info for Lv2 Defender battles here will be in the Battle Arenas Guide, so look for it there.
The goal, of course, would be to get to Etamin City (Lv35), but you can explore more than necessary until we gotta continue the plot. How about a return trip to Matar Island? Well, you will not be able to leave to the north or east unless you enter the new cave. You will find a Sage of Balance, one of six power sages. He will give one of your Pokemon Pokerus, unless you say no, and in that case he'll give you a Revive. Later, he can change a Pokemon nature for free, to Docile, Serious, Bashful, or Quirky. You can also get another Pokemon to have Pokerus but only if you have a Revive of your own. Head north to Sadr Path.

We're going south first, but will return to the north without going anywhere else new. East is Beid Path, but we're skipping that for now as well.
Swimmer Elliot: Poliwag Lv26, Shellder Lv26, Skrelp Lv26, Horsea Lv26, P104
Swimmer Lucy: Staryu Lv27, Seel Lv28, P112
On the dry land at the south side is a Hyper Potion in a clearing. The old man on the dock to the right is the battle messenger (P1760).
Camoufleur Justin: Grovyle Lv26, Exeggcute Lv28, P1008
Fisherman Andrew: Magikarp Lv36, Gyarados Lv26, P936
The south cave entrance leads to Alya Cave, which is yet another entrance into the cave (the other of course is in Shedir Town). The building here is an Undersea Tunnel that takes you to the north end of Izar Path as a nifty way to avoid trainers. Somewhere in the middle of the Undersea tunnel (on the red floor) you can find an Ether. Now we shall go north, but take the long way as we do. From the intersection with Kitalpha and Beid paths, head north.
Swimmer Hanna: Buizel Lv27, P972
North leads to the next dock, as well as the north entrance to the Undersea Tunnel. Talk to the fisherman at the west side and you'll get the Super Rod! He'll also talk about picking up a giant Magikarp and showing him, if you're ever interested.
Fisherman Ned: Buizel Lv26, Poliwhirl Lv27, Lapras Lv28, P1008
There is a Mega Guardian here, Gala, however she has a Lv42 mon so I would recommend challenging her later. But when you do get ready, first, a maze! Oh joy. This will be ridiculous. If you need to leave, talk to the girl (which is a doll) to leave.
Maze Layout:
South room (6 teleporters): NE teleporter takes you to the central teleporter in the central room (9 teleporters). All other teleporters in this room take you to the central teleporter in the starting room.
Central room (9 teleporters): In this room, take the left teleporter on the south wall. All other teleporters will take you to the starting room with 6 teleporters.
East room (5 teleporters): Take the west teleporter. All other teleporters lead you back to the starting room (or if you take the one you were on, you would be back in the central room).
SE room (8 teleporters): Take the SE teleporter (all others lead to the starting room or the one you were on takes you back to the previous room).
NE room (7 teleporters): Take the SW teleporter (all others lead to the starting room or the one you were on takes you back to the previous room).
NW room (6 teleporters): Take the NW teleporter (all others lead to the starting room or the one you were on takes you back to the previous room).
West room (5 teleporters): Take the west teleporter.
SW room (6 teleporters): Take the teleporter you're on this time. You can now challenge Gala!
Megaguardian Gala: P504 and a Gardevoirite (trainer has a Hyper Potion)
Gardevoir Lv42, Moonblast, Psychic, Calm Mind, Ice Beam, holds Gardevoirite
Fisherman Chip: Chinchou Lv26, Brionne Lv28, P1008
Head to the end of the dock and SW of the sign, you can pick up a hidden Rare Candy. To the next town!
ENIF CITY
So Absolve went here because a certain Kasper, leader of Team Delta, was sighted around here. As a matter of fact, so are a bunch of cops, looking out for the Team Delta members. Enter the house next to the PokeMart and talk to the guy here. He will offer you a Rowlet! Nice. A few names are dropped around, including a Kana who was a descendant of a CYENN Quenn, shouldn't that be Queen? The original Megaguardian in any case. Also the name Chloris is dropped; she was, or actually is currently, a member of Team Delta's Golden Trio at this point, and she's also the daughter of the Cyenn University president. Engineer BC, another recurring character, is also mentioned as having been a member of the university 40 years ago.
In the PokeCenter, a gentleman to the right of the counter has a project for the Exp. Share 2. He needs an actual Exp. Share along with a Bottle Cap for this project. Give him these items when you have them and you will get the Exp. Share 2 key item. The gentleman describes it as a more refined version of the old Exp. All, and with it you will have all Pokemon receive experience from battles, 75% for those who participate, 25% for those who don't. Basically it's like the modern version of the Exp. Share in the later Pokemon games. The regular Exp. Share can still be used as a held item, functioning similar to the Lucky Egg. Remember you have to activate it in the menu.
The Name Rater's home is to the SW. A house to the left of the PokeCenter belongs to Neil/Tyra, who was said by a person on Izar Path to be the youngest professor of Cyenn University, before they became a member of Team Delta it seems. The parents are home, one is proud and the other worried. If you read the PC at the top, you will get some info on three trainers who permanently mega-evolve their Pokemon: Expert S, Engineer BC, and Doctor MK. The log mentions that these people succeeded in their experiments, but decided not to release their results because the world wasn't ready for this kind of stuff yet. The person on the log mentions they will do something about it, even if it means joining with...Team Rocket? I'm not sure if this is referring to Neil/Tyra after all.
The scientist in the NW house will teach you Seismic Toss. Also in this house is a gentleman who is Professor Gibson. He is a Hyper Training expert. This helps in increasing stats upon leveling up. He requests the item Bottle Cap, or Gold Cap. These are new special collectables in the game. Giving him one Bottle Cap to boost one stat, or a Gold Bottle Cap to boost all the stats of one Pokemon. You will boost the stats, but you must gain a level for it to take effect. If you are already at Lv100, it is possible to reset the level, and this will be talked about much later. Cyenn University is the big building at the north end, but the officers will not let anyone in. The building at the NE side is of interest, called the Steven Geological Museum, named after Steven Stone. Enter and go downstairs. The hiker here is Rick Basalt, a.k.a. Mr. Rock. Pay him P4800 for a paleontology lesson. The lesson will allow you to have a 4% chance of finding fossils when examining mineral deposits, in other words, Fossilogy Lv1. To the left is Canopus Ruins, and to the right is Capella Path. Where to go?
Well, you could go left to the Canopus Ruins. The path here is actually without trainers or Pokemon. It's the inside of the ruins to watch out for, as the recommended level is Lv55. A girl near the sign can teach you Double-Edge. There is also an HP Up here. The Braille inscriptions here read THIS IS WHERE WE HID THE TR. I wonder what that is? But let's just head east to Capella Path for now.
CAPELLA PATH

The Battle Messenger is the first person you see, who'll charge P2300. She is also next to a mineral deposit. There's also a new guy (v5.41) who mentions an elite Noctowl named Sharp Bayaku high up on Mt Antares, who is said to harness the power of ice.
PKMN Ranger Aidan: Koffing Lv30, Haunter Lv31, P1116
PKMN Ranger Julia: Centiskorch Lv29, Absol Lv31, P1116 (trainer has 2x Super Potions)
A Sun Stone can be found in a rock near the berry tree. Don't enter the first entrance to Mt. Antares, as not only is the recommended level Lv47, but a trainer immediately ambushes you! Go north around the middle cave for a camofleur, or south to the hiker.
Camoufleur Jaren: Weepinbell Lv31, Snover Lv32, P1152
Hiker Leslie: P1152 • Omanyte Lv32, Water Pulse, Rock Throw
Another rock to the east has a Max Elixir.
Hiker Rich: Mudbray Lv29, Graveler Lv31, P1116
The middle cave here is home to the Megaguardian known as Abe, who has the Absolite. You really do not want to fight her, as she has a Lv90 mon, but she will quiz you. If you are intent on getting that Mega Stone ASAP without a battle, well, here's the quiz and answers.
Megaguardian Quiz:
I am the Megaguardian of Pidgeot: No
Beheeyem is a Ghost-type Pokemon: No
Water is the most common of the eighteen types: Yes
Grass is the least resistant type: No
Rare Candy can be used to revive a fainted Pokemon: Yes
Minior is a Flying-type Pokemon: Yes
There are 151 kinds of Pokemon in the Kanto Dex: No
If you are of course intent on fighting her, here's her trainer info.
Megaguardian Abe: P1080 and an Absolite (trainer has 4x Full Restores)
Absol Lv90: Crunch, Psycho Cut, Slash, Metal Claw, holds Absolite
The third cave in Mt. Antares is open, but again, we're not gonna go too far due to the recommended level here (also don't go down that ladder, it's a camoufleur). A Bottle Cap can be found at the easternmost end of the main path. We'll now be backtracking for a small bit. We're going to Beid Path next, which is east of Izar Path.
BEID PATH
Mons found:

Picnicker Isabelle: Arbok Lv33, Raichu Lv33, Lopunny Lv34, P680
The first island with grass has an HP Up. It also has Gale, the Megaguardian of Gallade! You'll want mons at or around Lv40, and will fight three Gallades.
Megaguardian Gale: P480 and a Galladite (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Gallade Lv41: Protect, Swords Dance, Night Slash, Agility, holds Galladite • Gallade Lv39: Psycho Cut, Baton Pass, Reversal, Swords Dance, holds Quick Claw • Gallade Lv40, Leaf Blade, Psycho Cut, Crunch, Aerial Ace, holds Choice Band

On the next island, there's a free Water Stone inside a rock. The battle messenger is here too (P1100). Do note the deep water in the corner before moving south.
Swimmer Jes: Frillish Lv34, Pelipper Lv35, P140
MARFIK CITY
Mons found:
Finneon: 70% (old rod), 20% (good rod) • Tentacool: 60% (surf) • Poliwag: 40% (super rod) • Magikarp: 30% (old rod), 60% (good rod) • Frillish: 30% (surf), 40% (super rod) • Buizel: 20% (good rod) • Gyarados: 15% (super rod) • Tentacruel: 6% (surf) • Lumineon: 4% (surf), 1% (super rod) • Floatzel: 4% (super rod)
Note on Gladion Event:
There may be an event involving Gladion here. I triggered the event on Ruchbah Path before this and it did not trigger once I was in Marfik City. I assume it triggers if you enter the city from the south gatehouse or try to cross to the east side. The Gladion events were added in version 5.0, I am certain it is a battle event and you need Lv36 as your recommended level to battle him here. His team:
PKMN Trainer Gladion: P947? (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Lucario Lv38, Metal Claw, Aura Sphere, Extremespeed • Crobat Lv36, Fly, Toxic, Poison Fang • Silvally Lv38, Crunch, Crush Claw, X-Scissor, Tri Attack • Zoroark Lv37, Dark Pulse, Hyper Voice, Slash
(money value here is an estimate)
The girl in the first house you come to will sell TM47 Steel Wing for a whopping P10000. Yikes. People around here are talking about how you can get a really good skill if you challenge the Lv2/Lv4/Lv6 Defender. In fact, that's exactly why I led you here in this walkthrough, as the thing she gives is much better than other skills or items you could get if you challenged other Lv2 Defenders, so you really don't want to miss it. A black belt in the next house will teach Counter. Go to the house under the PokeMart, then head east into the trees. The dead end has a hidden PP Up. You'll hear about Gatekeepers, who are elite trainers that will allow you to access Polaris Island. Vic is one of those Gatekeepers, born in this city. Peacock Path is to the south.
The Day Care is here, near the east side of town. To the south is Travant's Perfume Shop.
Travant's Perfume Shop:
Sea Incense: P9600 • Lax Incense: P9600 • Repel: P350 • Super Repel: P500 • Max Repel: P700 • Guard Spec.: P700 • Dire Hit: P650 • X Attack: P500 • X Defend: P550 • X Speed: P350 • X Accuracy: P950 • X Special: P350
Wart, the Megaguardian of Swampert, is also here, ready for a challenge if you desire. Recommended to be Lv40.
Megaguardian Wart: P504 and a Swampertite (trainer has 3x Full Restores)
Swampert Lv42, Waterfall, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Mega Punch, holds Swampertite
Near the north end of the town, there's a girl who's the sister of the Megaguardian Paige. She received TM52 Fly from Cordelia, but has two copies and talking to her will let you get one.
To the right is Giausar Path. The SW house here has a girl who will give you a free Litten. Now we should check out the Battle Arena. Assuming you haven't challenged Salvia at Shedir Town for the Lv2 Defender position, you should be able to challenge Cordelia for the Lv2 Defender here. And I recommend it, for the record, due to the prize offered. If you've already challenged and beat a different Lv2 Defender, you will have to wait until you get to challenge a Lv4 Defender for another battle against Cordelia. You definitely want her Birdcall LvX skill, it's basically the equivalent to Fly! As always, my Battle Arenas Guide should prove useful. You can use the L Button to automatically use Birdcall LvX too.
Afterwards, go back in and challenge some challengers (you can of course go elsewhere to do this of course) in order to increase your trainer rank. At this point, you should be a Lv3 trainer. We will now take a small detour to Zosma Town via Giausar Path, but won't go any further than that.

Recommended level: Lv37
An Ultra Ball is right by the route entrance, as is a hidden Ether in the opening.
Lass Alicia: Kadabra Lv35, Cherrim Lv35, Lucario Lv36, P576
The scientist here is a battle messenger (P1900) Also, there's a girl on a rock that you can talk to from below. This is actually the Megaguardian of Pidgeot! And here's the kicker, you can only use your own Pidgeot to battle her. When you're ready, you will be prompted to select your Pidgeot for battle (I don't know if you can have other mons in your party and if that changes anything, but you must select a Pidgeot to challenge her. I decided to put all of my other mons in the PC except for Pidgeot in my case).
Megaguardian Paige: P432 and a Pidgeotite (trainer has a Hyper Potion)
Pidgeot Lv36, Air Slash, Heat Wave, Uproar, holds Pidgeotite
Bug Catcher Conner: Beedrill Lv36, Ninjask Lv36, P432
Hiker Alan: Graveler Lv36, Krokorok Lv36, P1296
A rock at the south end has a Rare Candy.
Cooltrainer Chris: Poliwhirl Lv36, Arcanine Lv37, P1332
Camoufleur Brent: Sawsbuck Lv38, P1368
One last hidden item before the town is next to the berry tree at the north end. It's a Chesto Berry. As of the newest update, there's also a strange-looking mon up top, but by this point you don't have Strength Lv3, so you can't reach it yet.
ZOSMA TOWN
Mons found:
Finneon: 70% (old rod) • Tentacool: 60% (surf) • Poliwag: 40% (super rod) • Magikarp: 30% (old rod) • Frillish: 30% (surf), 40% (super rod) • Buizel: 20% (good rod) • Feebas: 15% (super rod) • Skrelp: 5% (surf), 80% (good rod) • Lumineon: 4% (surf), 1% (super rod) • Floatzel: 4% (super rod) • Tentacruel: 1% (surf)
The black belt near the west side mentions Venomous Sanders, a very powerful Sandslash, which is in fact the one you just passed on Giausar Path. Zosma Town doesn't have a Battle Arena in the actual town, but there is one on Muphrid Path to the south. We won't be going there though. The Cyenn Logistics Center is here, but it's closed for now thanks to the Dark Workers. Interestingly, the logistics center used to be a Dark Worker hideout. Team Delta seemed to have been spotted here too, and Kasper is surprisingly an investor of the Logistics Center. He also was said to have been born in this town. A grandma in the NE house will teach Explosion. A PP Max is in the NE corner. In the easternmost house are two scientists. If you've already achieved Fossilogy Lv1, talk to the top one to learn Fossilogy Lv2 (10% chance of finding fossils)! You can also access the Sage of Agility's chamber, where you are challenged to make it to the sage in only 55 steps. Take the left path, then the left path again, then take the right path. You should pass the trial once you make it to the chamber entrance. The green oval there is a teleporter back to the start. Talk to the sage to increase the Speed stat of your Pokemon. The natures you can change are Timid, Hasty, Jolly, and Naive. That's pretty much it for this town. We'll be backtracking to Marfik City and heading south now.
PEACOCK PATH
Mons found:
Tauros: 20% • Hoppip: 20% • Skiploom: 10% • Aron: 10%, 70% (in cave) • Skarmory: 10% • Munna: 10% • Musharna: 5% • Mienfoo: 5% • Lairon: 4%, 19% (in cave) • Duraludon: 4% • Mawile: 1%, 11% (in cave) • Girafarig: 1%
Recommended level: Lv39
In the guardhouse, go upstairs and talk to the camoufleur, who will teach you Mimic. There's a cave to the west of the guardhouse. It's a weird little maze! There's a diving spot to the east as well as a path leading north. This part of the cave has holes which lead to a floor below, as well as ladders. From the entrance, head all the way to the north wall, then west to the hole there. Then head east, take the ladder there, then head to the east wall. Head south to a hole, but go around it and enter the hole behind it. Down here, go until you get to the ladder. You'll meet the Megaguardian Argus!
Megaguardian Argus: P504 and an Aggronite (trainer has 4x Full Restores)
Aggron Lv42, Metal Claw, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Take Down, holds Aggronite
Time for the rest of this route.
Hiker Isaiah: Gabite Lv37, Camerupt Lv38, P1368
Head to the first patch of grass to pick up a PP Up from the rock here.
Cooltrainer Veba: Ditto Lv38, Mimikyu Lv38, Ninetales Lv38, P1368
The next hiker is a battle messenger (P4500).
Camoufleur Mist: Crawdaunt Lv39, P1404
The item that isn't a camoufleur is an Ultra Ball. Continue south.
Crush Girl Nico: Graveler Lv36, Hawlucha Lv38, P760
Midway through is a cave which leads to the Sage of Strength. Enter and approach her, you will have to battle as Chronya herself to win.
Sage Mina: P3240
Shedinja Lv100, Psychic, Shadow Ball, holds Twistedspoon • Furfrou Lv90, Body Slam, Toxic, holds Silk Scarf • Spiritomb Lv90, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Hypnosis, Dream Eater, holds Twistedspoon
Chronya is Lv80, Limber ability, Fighting type in case you are wondering, and has Play Rough, Hi Jump Kick, Aerial Ace, and Rock Slide. Head up to the sage after winning to get the Attack stat of your Pokemon raised. You can also change your Pokemon's nature if you have a Protein. The natures are Lonely, Adamant, Naughty, and Brave.
Head out and down and the next rock before the steps will have a Full Restore.
Super Nerd Jamal: Onix Lv36, Poliwhirl Lv37, Magneton Lv38, P912
Another grassy area has a Hyper Potion. Plus a Rare Candy hidden in a rock nearby.
Beauty Zoe: Flaaffy Lv42, P3024
Camoufleur Billy: Tauros Lv38, Noctowl Lv39, P1404
Crush Girl Corria: Mienshao Lv40, P800
Inspect a rock south of the campfire to find a Max Revive, as well as get a Nugget to the south.
Black Belt Jaxon: Combusken Lv38, Machoke Lv39, P936
Hiker William: Rhyhorn Lv36, Sandslash Lv37, Onix Lv37, P592
TALITHA PATH

Recommended level: Lv38
Bird Keeper Ramiro: Xatu Lv34, P816
The big guy here is a battle messenger (P900)
Beauty Jamie: Starmie Lv37, Lurantis Lv37, P2664
The guard at the guardhouse says that yes, there's a Megaguardian around here. And around here is referring to upstairs, where we find Merry, the Megaguardian of Mawile, looking through the binoculars.
Megaguardian Merry: P504 and a Mawilite (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Mawile Lv42, Crunch, Play Rough, Metal Claw, Swords Dance, holds Mawilite
Camper Wilton: Slowbro Lv36, Krokorok Lv37, P740
The Etamin Battle Arena is actually on this route, and there's a Zinc to the west of it. Whenever you feel like it, you can challenge the defenders here, and refer to my Battle Arenas Guide for more info. Not only that, but we have a Megaguardian inside the Battle Arena too. This one is one of two for Raichu, added in version 5.44.
Megaguardian Rachel: P656 and a Raichunite Y
Raichu Lv41, Thunderbolt, Surf, Thunder Wave, Nasty Plot, holds Raichunite Y
In other words, yes, there are now Megaguardians for the mons who got mega evolutions in Pokemon Legends Z-A in this hack. To the south is Etamin City itself, but we're going to hold off on this for now. Go back to Shedir Town and head east to the Alya Cave. Now we'll be going this way.
ALYA CAVE
Mons found (Main caves):
Mudbray: 25% • Geodude: 20% • Zubat: 15% • Cleffa: 10% • Cubone: 10% • Onix: 10% • Gible: 5% • Rhyhorn: 4% • Graveler: 1%
Mons found (2nd cave with boulders):
Onix: 29% • Machop: 20% • Geodude: 20% • Zubat: 10% • Mudbray: 10% • Rhyhorn: 9% • Gible: 2%
Recommended level: Lv23
Get the Iron at the Shedir Town entrance and head east.
Camper Rolando: Ekans Lv21, Sandshrew Lv21, Wartortle Lv23, P460
Hiker Greg: Onix Lv22, Cubone Lv23, P828
Camoufleur Luke: Geodude Lv22, Trapinch Lv23, P828
The south end has the exit to Phad Path, which is technically our next destination. There's also a black belt who's the battle messenger (P2500). Head north and east, ignoring the ladder for now.
Picnicker Becky: Ivysaur Lv23, Marill Lv23, P460
Hiker Brice: Geodude Lv20, Machop Lv21, Geodude Lv23, P828
The entrance here leads to the south end of Izar Path, so that's how this connects. Go back to the Phad Path exit, the ladder here will not be useful right now due to a boulder in the way.
PHAD PATH
Mons found:
Pidgey: 20% • Sandshrew: 20% • Machop: 15% • Mudbray: 10% • Pidgeotto: 10% • Hisuian Sneasel: 10% • Gligar: 6% • Mimikyu: 5% • Mienfoo: 4%
Recommended level: Lv24
The rock to the left of the exit has an Oran Berry. Head east and south a bit to find a hiker who teaches Rock Slide.
Youngster Calvin: Snover Lv24, P384
Use the campfire you find and head down.
Lass Janice: Natu Lv23, Drifloon Lv24, P384
Well, you gotta head back to Alya Cave now, since this part of the route is blocked off here.
Picnicker Caitlin: Growlithe Lv23, P460
If you jump the ledge to the north, you will be back at the part of Alya Cave with the boulder, so ignore it and head for the ladder at the south end instead. You can take a ladder to the left to reach a three-pronged fork area. If you take the south path, you will find a Moon Stone! If you take the west ladder, the cave you come to has TM28 Dig. You will also meet Cary, a Megaguardian of Clefable. She wants you to both have a Clefable in your party and be around Lv44. You do not need to battle her with your own Clefable, just have a Clefable in your party to accept her challenge.
Megaguardian Cary: P768 and a Clefablite (trainer has a Hyper Potion)
Clefable Lv48, Moonblast, Hyper Voice, Moonlight, Cosmic Power, holds Clefablite
By the way, the three-pronged fork area has a trainer.
Black Belt Eddie: Drilbur Lv21, P504
The path to the north is a little more complicated. There's a Hyper Potion to the west.
Camoufleur Dalia: Pikachu Lv22, Beedrill Lv22, P792
And a ladder to the right, as well as a new one going down. Take this one and talk to the black belt to hear about Forbearing Iraph, the strongest Nincada ever (Lv52) and it even has Speed Boost. If you defeat it, you will get a Tinymushroom. Return to the previous room. For the ladder on the right, you can't really do anything in this area if you came here normally, since you need Strength Lv2 to push the boulders. This is the location with the second list of encounters by the way. Return here with Strength Lv2 in order to do a crafting sidequest, which can be found here. Go back to the center ladder in the three-pronged fork area and head east.
Lass Sally: Buneary Lv22, Skiploom Lv23, P368
Youngster Ben: Yungoos Lv24, P384
Take the ladder and you'll be on the other side of the previous floor where the boulder was.
Super Nerd Lao: Helioptile Lv22, Magnemite Lv23, P552
Now we're on the other side of the ledge for the second half of Phad Path. The first person here is the battle messenger (P650).
Psychic Robin: Munna Lv25, P500
And you'll soon find a tree that blocks another part of the cave. Head south.
NASHIRA VILLAGE
Mons found:
Poliwag: 60% (surf), 80% (good rod), 40% (super rod) • Finneon: 55% (super rod) • Dewpider: 30% (surf) • Marill: 6% (surf) • Lumineon: 5% (super rod) • Magikarp: 4% (surf), 100% (old rod), 20% (good rod)
A guy on the left side of the village will give you a Beldum! You'll learn about a legendary trainer named Hayato and his children Yoshitsune and Midoriko, all of which are Defenders here. Notably, Yoshitsune is a skilled archer who can teach advanced archery skills. If you had taken the short route to Etamin City, this Battle Arena would have likely been your second challenge, but we went for Birdcall LvX in this playthrough. That being said, if you want to challenge Yoshitsune for the Lv2 Defender title and haven't challenged and won against any other Defender at this point, you can get Archery Lv2 from him now (the equivalent of Cut). Again, refer to my Battle Arenas Guide for his team. Do not worry that much about Archery Lv2, as you can actually learn this skill by challenging Yoshitsune at Lv5 or after you beat a different Lv5 Defender, you can just challenge him in the village later on to learn Archery Lv2. Whatever you wish to do here, when done, head south to Ruchbah Path next.
RUCHBAH PATH
Mons found:
Finneon: 80% (good rod) • Horsea: 80% (super rod) • Magikarp: 60% (surf), 100% (old rod), 20% (good rod) • Marill: 35% (surf) • Joltik: 21% • Abra: 20% • Lumineon: 16% (super rod) • Machop: 10% • Machoke: 10% • Vulpix: 10% • Furfrou: 10% • Pikachu: 5% • Galarian Zigzagoon: 5% • Munna: 4% • Wooloo: 4% • Dewpider: 4% (surf) • Gyarados: 1% (surf), 4% (super rod) • Kadabra: 1%
Recommended level: Lv28
Gladion from the Sun/Moon/US/UM games is here. He's looking for tough trainers to train his Silvally with, which surprises Chronya considering she also has something similar. Stories are shared and Gladion wants to battle.
PKMN Trainer Gladion: Sneasel Lv26, Crobat Lv26, Silvally Lv26, P648 (trainer has 2x Super Potions)
I believe it is also possible to battle Gladion in Marfik City first, which I believe prevents this encounter from occurring. Since the Gladion events were added in version 5.0 it's possible that one event will prevent the other from happening. If you want the easier Gladion battle, head here first.
Camper Ethan: Riolu Lv27, P540
TM33 Reflect is in the NW corner.
Camoufleur Cale: Linoone Lv24, Magnemite Lv24, Golbat Lv24, Koffing Lv24, P864
The bug catcher here is the battle messenger (P1200).
Lass Reli: Hisuian Zorua Lv27, Lopunny Lv28, P448
Youngster Timmy: Mudbray Lv27, Raichu Lv29, P464
A rock at the SW end has a Pecha Berry. At the edge of the pond is a new Megaguardian, the other one for Raichu.
Megaguardian Raymond: P656 and a Raichunite X
Raichu Lv41, Volt Tackle, Thunder Wave, Iron Tail, Body Slam, holds Raichunite X

Recommended level: Lv32
Okay, swim across the lake to the house. The guy here tells you that his wife is a Megaguardian, having apparently also built a maze here! Enter the back room and head to the left side, then go up two rooms. Head to the east side and go under the rock to the east, then north to find the Megaguardian, named Amary. Though you might want to be at least Lv55 to challenge her!
Megaguardian Amary: P696 and an Ampharosite (trainer has 3x Full Restores)
Ampharos Lv58, Dragon Pulse, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Thunder Wave, holds Ampharosite
Crush Girl Yazmin: Poliwhirl Lv29, Machoke Lv30, Medicham Lv31, P620
Camoufleur Edwin: Heliolisk Lv32, P1152
If you keep heading on the low road, you'll run into Ted camping again. He's been taught more in crafting after visiting Etamin City. And he's been training Pokemon too. So in order to help out, he wants you to challenge him (recommended to be Lv34).
PKMN Trainer Ted: P1860 and Craft Lv2 (trainer has 2x Super Potions)
Pinsir Lv34, Aerial Ace, Megahorn, Swords Dance, holds Pinsirite • Graveler Lv32, Earthquake, Rock Slide • Breloom Lv33, Mach Punch, Leech Seed, Leaf Blade, Brick Break • Tentacruel Lv31, Water Pulse, Poison Sting, Toxic
Be sure to check the Crafting document for what you can now craft.
Black Belt Kaji: Machoke Lv32, P768
Camoufleur Kindra: Growlithe Lv31, Gloom Lv31, Kadabra Lv32, P1152
Beauty Olivia: Weepinbell Lv31, Beedrill Lv31, P2232
Super Nerd Alex: Rhyhorn Lv29, Magneton Lv31, P744
You obviously have seen the cave here, which is the Aludra Chamber. Behind it, the black belt is the battle messenger for this route (P1200). Before entering the cave, there's another Megaguardian to battle.
Megaguardian Viktoria: P608 and a Victrebelite (trainer has a Super Potion)
Victreebel Lv38, Leech Seed, Razor Leaf, Poison Jab, Toxic, holds Victrebelite
(note: Mega Victreebel has the new Acid Attack ability, allowing Poison moves to hit Steel types. Salazzle is another Pokemon with this ability).
Aludra Chamber Mons found:
Sandshrew: 20% • Zubat: 20% • Geodude: 19% • Rhyhorn: 10% • Golbat: 10% • Onix: 10% • Aron: 5% • Lairon: 4% • Larvitar: 2%
Recommended level: Lv40
There's only one path here, but do take note of the wall with an opening under it. You will want to remember this for later. Take the ladder and leave to get what you wanted, which is TM11 Sunny Day. Leave and now we shall head to Etamin City to the east for real this time!
ETAMIN CITY
Mons found:
Tentacool: 60% (surf) • Finneon: 60% (good rod), 40% (super rod) • Magikarp: 30% (surf), 70% (old rod), 40% (good rod), 40% (super rod) • Floatzel: 30% (old rod) • Gyarados: 15% (super rod) • Lumineon: 5% (super rod) • Frillish: 5% (surf) • Tentacruel: 4% (surf) • Buizel: 1% (surf)
Recommended level: Lv35
Wherever you first entered Etamin City from, you'll soon be prompted to continue the main storyline. Since we're still technically exploring areas, choose No for now, as we're ready to explore the biggest city here! When you're ready to progress with the game story, the game gives you a red flag next to the PokeCenter.
At the NW corner is an Ether. Near the NE corner is TM32 Double Team. The house two east from the PokeCenter is the fossil lab! Inside is Hershel, the founder of the lab. He will do the process of fossils automatically, without having to leave and re-enter the room! The fossils will be Lv5. The other guy in here teaches Metronome. An old man to the SE of the lab can teach Night Slash. There's a building at the SW that looks like you can enter, but the door's locked. We'll save the department store for last, but the big building south of it is the restaurant. The guy in the back is Mego, another Megaguardian. Might want to wait a while before challenging him and his mon!
Megaguardian Mego: P636 and a Metagrossite (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Metagross Lv53, Psycho Cut, Meteor Mash, Earthquake, Calm Mind, holds Metagrossite
The big building east of the department store is Ebin Co. The first floor has an Egg Seller! He will sell you a Pokemon Egg for just P800 if you're interested in a random baby Pokemon. Also on the first floor, talk to the black belt who's a rookie craftsman. He wants a craftsman who is at Lv2 and has an X Attack and 2 Metal Dusts. Give him these items to get TM54 Strength.
On the second floor, there's a guy in the NW corner who sells Silverpowder, Metal Coat, Soft Sand, Hard Stone, Miracle Seed, Blackglasses, Black Belt, Magnet, Mystic Water, Sharp Beak, Poison Barb, Nevermeltice, Spell Tag, Twistedspoon, Charcoal, Dragon Fang, and Silk Scarf, all for P3500.
On 3F, the black belt sells these items:
Cleanse Tag: P1500 • Focus Band: P3000 • Lucky Egg: P4500 • Scope Lens: P1500 • Sea Incense: P9600 • Lax Incense: P9600 • Choice Band: P4500 • Smoke Ball: P1000 • Macho Brace: P3000 • Everstone: P200
Finally, the top floor has the president, who will sell you Master Balls for a whopping P100000. Keep this stuff in mind for some great stuff to buy! Now for the department store! Before entering, go to the east beach and find a PP Up on one of the rocks.
At the department store, the Potions Market is on the second floor.
Top clerk:
Potion: P300 • Super Potion: P500 • Hyper Potion: P1200 • Max Potion: P2500 • Full Restore: P3000 • Ether: P1200
Bottom clerk:
Antidote: P400 • Burn Heal: P250 • Ice Heal: P250 • Awakening: P250 • Parlyz Heal: P200 • Full Heal: P600
The third floor is the PokeBalls Market.

And the final floor will probably interest you the most, the rare items market!
Top clerk sells HP Up, Protein, Iron, Carbos, Calcium, Rare Candy, PP Up, and Zinc all for P9800
Bottom clerk sells all the evolution stones, as well as the Exotic Ores which will evolve certain mons into regional forms, all for P2100.
Okay, let's go ahead with the story! Use the red flag and choose Yes. You'll basically sit at the PokeCenter waiting for Logan/Alma, but Absolve shows up instead. She was supposed to be at Enif City, but found it boring due to the police we saw earlier. Absolve gets excited about a battle between you two, because both of you have a Mega Lopunny. You don't get a choice here.
PKMN Trainer Absolve: P1980 (trainer has 3x Super Potions)
Lopunny Lv34, Mach Punch, Jump Kick, Strength, holds Lopunnite • Seadra Lv34, Water Pulse, Poison Sting, Dragonbreath • Vulpix Lv33, Ember, Psybeam, Confuse Ray
Following this, Absolve asks you to be her mentor, which Chronya isn't interested in. Absolve reasons that she needs a mentor to be as strong as Genba and her grandma. At this moment, Logan/Alma and Genba have arrived. Genba mentions that there is a secret base of Team Delta at the SW part of the city, which of course was locked before. Genba leaves, with Absolve following, and you talk to Logan/Alma. Obviously, we're just going to the hideout at the SW of town, so make your preparations beforehand. Time to infiltrate a hideout!
Team Delta Grunt: Pidgeotto Lv32, Heliolisk Lv33, Gumshoos Lv33, P3300
Talk to Absolve, who mentions that Genba and Logan/Alma are downstairs. Absolve also thinks that for some reason, Genba infiltrated the hideout without his Pokemon, but that shouldn't matter if he's a skilled agent! But after Absolve heads downstairs, Chronya contemplates that maybe Genba is a bad trainer. Time to head down.
Team Delta Grunt: Golbat Lv32, Sandslash Lv32, Banette Lv33, P3300
Team Delta Grunt: Gloom Lv33, Furfrou Lv34, P3400
Oh boy, arrow tiles. Step on the middle tile to be sent north and east. Head south and west, ignoring every arrow tile, until you reach a larger area. Here, go to the north side and there will be two tiles facing west. Use the bottom one, then take the rightmost of the south-facing tiles. Head north and around, avoiding every arrow tile. You can barely see an item as you head south, and this item is TM12 Taunt. Take the tile SW of it, then the middle tile in the row here. This time, Genba is awaiting you, telling you that Logan/Alma and Absolve went ahead. He also admits he isn't a good trainer after all, and even doesn't have his own team with him. Genba will heal you now, and will heal you if you really need it again.
Team Delta Grunt: Sawsbuck Lv31, Vibrava Lv31, Seadra Lv32, Kadabra Lv32, P3200
Team Delta Grunt: Gumshoos Lv32, Arbok Lv33, Floatzel Lv33, P3300
You'll soon see Logan/Alma and Absolve, in stealth mode. Absolve wonders where Genba is, and he just shows up then, having basically followed you down. In any case, it seems that we've found a Team Delta leader. The leader is talking to what looks like a different grunt in a prison cell, and the name Viperum is mentioned once again. Even more, the leader wants to reveal the true self of this prisoner, and even mentions a sister that the prisoner has. That sister just so happens to be Eliza! And the prisoner here is a failed experiment of Viperum's. This prisoner also has a bomb latched inside the body in order to become an assassin. And if the prisoner failed, the bomb would detonate, which doesn't sound good for Team Delta considering that we have this person in a prison cell. But it looks like our Team Delta leader is a step ahead of Viperum, having apparently defused it and even having to control it. So much for Viperum's plan! A gifted scientist has helped out Team Delta with this thing too, and even more so, the prisoner will have to work for Team Delta.
At this point, "The Man" then turns to your party and wants to talk to you. Looks like he knew all along you were eavesdropping, and Chronya seems to find some familiarity in this person. And it turns out that "The Man" is Galen, now with white hair. Galen is quite shocked to know that you've survived and changed so much. Despite this, he joined Team Delta, an enemy team we are after, and that we must leave. Chronya doesn't want to leave, and it seems that Chronya must prove that she really is a warrior like Galen was.

What were Galen's reasons for joining Team Delta? Chronya wants an answer to this. It seems to be to protect their families. Interesting that Galen has said this, considering he already lost his son. But he won't say more, now he'll find some use for the prisoner. After Galen leaves, Chronya reasons that Team Delta may have had nothing to do with Bruce's disappearance, and Logan/Alma thinks it may have been the Dark Workers. Another person shouts, and your group investigates and notices a scientist in another prison cell. No key? No problem! Chronya busts the cell open. We then find out who the scientist is. His name is Armando!.Mega Power players may recognize him as a minor character who used to be with the player, but then he joins the Dark Workers later on. In any case, he's with Team Delta at this point, and he's actually the gifted scientist's aide. But due to a misunderstanding, he was thought to be the assassin's ally. He then runs off, although that may not have been the best of ideas. Now we should all go to the Kurhah Police Department to report to prosecutor Grima, and our destination for the story is now Kurhah Island. You'll automatically leave the hideout.
Absolve is complaining that she now has to go back to the Ivara region. Genba has to remind her she's not an official agent for this mission too. Genba even mentions that he will talk to his father, and it seems that his father is none other than Vertice! So many characters just have family relations with one another. And then Genba leaves and Chronya has questions for Absolve. Why does he have no Pokemon with him but doesn't need Absolve's help and such? Absolve spills out that she and Genba were actually kidnapped at a young age and that Genba helped her escape. Vertice, one of Chronya's saviors from 12 years ago, is now the chief of Cyenn's Police Department. She'll then race you or something. After Chronya leaves the scene, a sinister figure emerges from the shadows. At this point, you now have free reign and your next storyline plot is at Kurhah Island. First though, go back to the hideout and at the last floor, you can find TM06 Toxic.

We're going north to Muphrid Path first. This will connect to Zosma Town by the way.

Yep, the Zosma battle arena is here on this route. The girl on the right is the battle messenger (P1240). Whenever you feel like challenging the defenders here, the Battle Arenas Guide will have the info you need. The megaguardian of Dragalge is just to the left of the Battle Arena.
Megaguardian Draskoll: P832 and a Dragalgite (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Dragalge Lv52, Dragon Pulse, Sludge Bomb, Toxic, Surf, holds Dragalgite
Swimmer Mimi: Azumarill Lv36, Marshtomp Lv37, Lumineon Lv38, Politoed Lv38, P152
At this point, you might want to start challenging some battle arenas. My main recommendations, assuming you are at Lv3 trainer rank, are to beat the Lv3 Defender at Etamin City's Battle Arena (on Talitha Path) and the Lv4 Defender at Zosma Town's Battle Arena (on this route). Beating the Lv3 Defender in Etamin City's arena (Terry) will award you Strength Lv2, which is similar to the HM Strength, which will prove useful later. If you miss it then, you can battle Terry as a Lv5 Defender to get it, or talk to him later on in the game after you are at Lv5 anyways to challenge him for it. Challenging the Lv4 Defender in Zosma Town's arena (Jill) will give you Swimmer Lv2, which can remove whirlpools, but will also allow you to get another skill early on as well. Of course, you have multiple options at this point, but I recommend this particular path the most.
So assuming you have Swimmer Lv2, you can access the grass and the cave at Kitalpha Path. However, before doing so, you might also want to get Swimmer Lv3. In order to do so, you must have a Lapras, so you need to catch one from Matar Island first. Return to Beid Path with a Lapras and head to the NE path. Gatrie, the diver, will be near the deep water hole. He'll ask for a Lapras, so choose it when prompted, and Gatrie will reward you greatly, by giving you Swimmer Lv3! Whereas Swimmer Lv2 gets rid of whirlpools, Swimmer Lv3 will allow you to dive! While you may be tempted to try it out right now, let's go ahead and do some different backtracking, for now. But as far as the diving spot right here goes, Beid Path's diving spot actually only has Pokemon nests (need Archery Lv3) and mineral deposits, but nothing else of interest.
So we'll start with Prism Forest. There is a deep spot in the water there if you wind your way around to near the west side of the forest. Down here are two mineral deposits and a ladder. Take the ladder to reach an area with currents. Get into the water at the east side, below the two currents going north, then take the single current going north on the east side. From here, take the single current going east, swim up and left, taking a left-facing current, then move up one and take the right-facing current to the east wall. From here, just go straight north to reach Gydo (Lv45 recommended).
Megaguardian Gydo: P600 and a Gyaradosite (trainer has 4x Full Restores)
Gyarados Lv50, Bounce, Flamethrower, Crunch, Waterfall, holds Gyaradosite
You can dive in at the Sadr Path spot, which is the cave from back in the beginning where Bruce found you. But there's nothing of interest there.
On Kitalpha Path, you can remove the whirlpools and access the grass as well as Kitalpha Cave.

Recommended level: Lv50
There's two ladders on this floor, one available right away and the other requiring you to break some rocks. Take the nearest one to be met with a sliding ice puzzle. Move to the ice, but go up instead of on it, then slide to the furthest rock you see on the right. Move up, left, up, right, up, right, up, right, down, right, and finally up. You'll meet Glee, the Megaguardian of Glalie, and Frannie, the Megaguardian of Froslass. Recommended to be Lv50.
Megaguardian Glee: P660 and a Glalitite (trainer has 3x Hyper Potions)
Glalie Lv55, Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, Protect, Earthquake, holds Glalitite
Megaguardian Frannie: P880 and a Froslassite (trainer has 3x Hyper Potions)
Froslass Lv55, Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, Will-O-Wisp, Draining Kiss, holds Froslassite
Back at the first floor of the cave, head for the ladder beyond the breakable rocks, not really a problem since this maze is easy. On the second floor, you'll see a legendary there! We'll get to it, sure, but we have to go all the way around. There's breakable rocks and mineral deposits on the way, plus an Ultra Ball in the SE corner. You'll soon reach the water. Avoid the currents and swim the perimeter until you are at the north side. Swim down on the down current to the open area, then take the right, down, and left-facing currents in that order. Swim directly left onto another left-facing current, then follow the calm water to the left side. One tile from the last calm water tile, swim north and avoid the currents to get to the legendary: Regice Lv50! Our next backtracking destination is Mt. Antares east of Enif City.

If you go to the left cave first, you'll be immediately ambushed by a trainer.
Pokemaniac Gant: Victreebel Lv44, Leafeon Lv44, Drifblim Lv46, P2208
You have two ladders here, and both lead to dead ends. Take the near one and move left three spaces from the ladder and inspect the pile of rocks south of you to get an Ultra Ball. Take the far one to find a mineral deposit. With all this done, go to the right cave in Mt Antares now. The nearest ladder is a trainer.
Camoufleur Dick: Weezing Lv46, Mimikyu Lv46, P1656
Take the other ladder here.
Crush Girl Sammie: Blaziken Lv48, P960
There's nothing in the water, but push the boulder and enter the cave. Is that Peri? Yeah, refer to the Battle Arena Guide to find her team (it's her Lv4 defender team if you must know). Beat her and you get Strength Lv3! Which will basically allow you to climb waterfalls. Neat! Let's try it out! Scale the waterfall and head east for a mineral deposit and a Revive, then cross back over taking the up ladder.
Camoufleur Phillip: Slowking Lv48, P1728
Next person is the battle messenger (P4120). Climb another waterfall. There's two ladders, one to the left and one to the right. First, go straight north and pick up an Elixir from a rock, then to the right. At the SE end is TM08 Bulk Up, then go to the ladder at the right side.
Camoufleur Angelica: Musharna Lv44, Xatu Lv46, Heliolisk Lv47, P1692
Taking the ladder...
Hiker Travis: Bastiodon Lv45, Krookodile Lv46, P1656
The other ladder is here, along with a Max Potion. There's an exit in the middle. For now, take the other ladder.
Hiker Thomas: Golem Lv46, Rhyperior Lv47, P1692
Here's the second part of the mountain. First, enter the grass and go to the SW end of it to find a hidden Nevermeltice. Then go to the grass patch west of that one to find a hidden Moon Stone. Head up one flight of stairs to find Sharp Bayaku, the elite Ice/Flying Noctowl (Lv63) mentioned earlier which can summon hail with Snow Warning. If you beat it, you get a free Ice Stone. Go up another flight of stairs to find an Everstone to the left. Climb back down to the first grass patch and take the easternmost steps up to a building. Behind it is TM13 Ice Beam. The house here has a little maze and the Megaguardian Albert (Lv49 recommended).
Megaguardian Albert: P636 and an Abomasite (trainer has 4x Hyper Potions)
Abomasnow Lv53, Blizzard, Leaf Blade, Ice Beam, Earthquake, holds Abomasite
One last thing to do on the outside portion of the mountain, and it's a cave to the west of the house, accessible by simply going back to the area where the Everstone was and heading east and north. The first thing in this chamber is to the northeast, which is a new Megaguardian. Lv60 recommended.
Megaguardian Baxter: P1040 and a Baxcalibrite (trainer has 3x Full Restores)
Baxcalibur Lv65, Ice Punch, Dragon Claw, Iron Head, Earthquake, holds Baxcalibrite
There's a couple of easy sliding puzzles here, but this is a linear area that leads to Regigigas. You cannot battle it yet though, so leave and go back to the main cave, taking three ladders down until you are back at the room with the boulder. This time, take a ladder at the NE end which goes down.
Black Belt Beau: Machoke Lv44, Mienshao Lv44, Poliwrath Lv44, P1056 (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Just swim counter-clockwise to the SE side, where one of the rocks has a Rare Candy. A bit north from that is an exit. This side of Capella Path has a mineral deposit and TM57 Waterfall. Anyways, we'll be back at Mt. Antares to get Regigigas another time. Let's continue our backtracking with our new skills!
On Izar Path, there's a diving spot somewhere in the middle. Make sure you have Strength Lv2, but before going there you can find a Megaguardian at the north end.
Megaguardian Sapey: P540 and a Sharpedonite (trainer has 4x Full Restores)
Sharpedo Lv45, Crunch, Waterfall, Slash, Poison Fang, holds Sharpedonite
From the three boulders you can currently reach, push the middle one west. Where it ends up, push the boulders north and south of it west. Push the first boulder you pushed south once. Move up one and push a boulder left, then move down two and push that boulder left. Move left one, push the boulder north of you up one, then move up one and push the boulder to your left twice. Move left one and push the north boulder up enough, then move to the leftmost boulder and push that. You should have a clear path to the next Megaguardian, named Dacre.
Megaguardian Dacre: P848 and a Dragoninite (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Dragonite Lv53, Dragon Claw, Fly, Thunder Wave, Hyper Beam, holds Dragoninite
Leave the underground area. Remember that cave in Peacock Path? There was a diving spot at the SE end of the entrance of the cave. Go there and dive down to find Registeel Lv50!
Next stop, the cave in Aludra Path. There's a reason I told you to go to Mt. Antares to get Strength Lv3, as there is that one crack in the wall at the north end of the cave here that we want to bust open. And so you shall. In this cave, make your way counter-clockwise to find Regirock Lv50!
And after you encounter those three Regis, you can now challenge Regigigas in the ice cave of Mt. Antares. Beware, it's Lv85!
Return to Giasaur Path and enter the pond near the Zosma Town side. Scale the waterfall to have a shot at Venomous Sanders, the elite Sandslash at Lv72, Poison/Ground with Poison Point. Beat it with your own Sandslash in front to have your Sandslash be the new Venomous Sanders!
Now to Furud Path. There's a diving spot at the east end of the route and one north of the Megaguardian Loe, both leading to a rather complex area.
Mons found (underwater area):
Finneon: 70% (old rod) • Staryu: 60% (surf), 60% (good rod) • Slowpoke: 40% • Lumineon: 40% (super rod) • Magikarp: 30% (old rod), 20% (good rod) • Frillish: 30% (surf), 40% (super rod) • Buizel: 20%, 20% (good rod) • Bruxish: 15% (super rod) • Lombre: 15% • Lotad: 10% • Shellder: 9%, 4% (surf) • Slowbro: 6% • Tentacool: 5% (surf) • Cloyster: 4% (super rod) • Tentacruel: 1% (surf) • Starmie: 1% (super rod)
So this area has a number of items to find as well as a Megaguardian. First, if you entered from the far diving spot, head NE to get a Max Potion, otherwise head east from the pool you were from (which will lead to the pool where the far diving spot is) and get the Max Potion from there. Head north from the pool you were in earlier and inspect the NW pile of rocks (near the first two big rocks) for a Big Pearl. Head north and around the large rock to find another pool, but ignore it (it leads to the spot near the Zosma battle arena on Muphrid Path) and take the steps, going east to get TM18 Rain Dance. Leave the higher floors and head straight south. When the path opens up to the east, there's a rock pile to the east with an Iron. Head south from there, then NE to reach the central pool with a strange elite Pokemon, an elite Lumineon named Miracle Lerime (Lv72). If you win against it, you can get a Big Pearl. Head back to the left side before the Iron and continue south to find our Megaguardian (recommended to be Lv45).
Megaguardian Blena: P564 and a Blastoisinite (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Blastoise Lv47, Surf, Aura Sphere, Ice Beam, Dark Pulse, holds Blastoisinite
There's still more to this cave. Go back to the rock pile that had the Iron and head south and SE to find a diving spot that takes you straight to Aspidiske Path. It's a ways away on the route itself, so we're going to cover this route from the Furud Path entrance.

Gladion and Silvally are battling a Dark Worker, and they mistake Gladion for Chronya. After the Dark Worker flees, Chronya tells Gladion about how she got her own Type:Null. Gladion then mentions that Chronya reminds them of the S/M/US/UM protagonist, the first Alola champion of course, and how he wants to be a stronger trainer. No battle here.
To the left is Dubhe Path and to the south is Cyeron Tunnel. The name of that latter path is a way to show that it connects the Cyenn region to Tyron, or rather, Western Tyron, from Victory Fire. We'll be going to that region at some point, but now isn't the time since you need what's known as a Tyron Passport. The house above the PokeCenter has a girl who will give you a Zorua. You can learn Body Slam by talking to a black belt in the east house. The PokeCenter has a swimmer at the east side who describes a miraculous Pokemon named Lerime under the water (which we've already encountered). Near the middle of the island, you'll find Marley from the Sinnoh region, who's interested in battle. Lv53 recommended.
PKMN Trainer Marley: P3120 and TM56 Shadow Claw
Sceptile Lv54, Dragon Pulse, Giga Drain, Leech Seed, Toxic, holds Sceptilite • Starmie Lv52, Psychic, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Surf, holds Mystic Water • Crobat Lv53, Air Cutter, Confuse Ray, Double Team, Poison Fang • Alakazam Lv53, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Calm Mind, Future Sight, holds Brightpowder • Arcanine Lv54, Flame Wheel, Extremespeed, Thunderpunch, Crunch, holds Sitrus Berry • Ninjask Lv52, Swords Dance, Aerial Ace, Megahorn, Slash, holds Focus Band
That's pretty much it to the island itself, let's go check out Caph Cave! The first person in the cave is actually the battle messenger (P2000). There's an up ladder and a down ladder on this small floor, and you can take a shortcut to the down ladder by removing the whirlpool (there is an Escape Rope on a rock pile near the down ladder too).
Hiker Simon: Aggron Lv41, P1476
We're taking the up ladder first.
Crush Girl Dee: Bastiodon Lv38, Heracross Lv40, P800
Pick up a Full Heal, then head to the NW part of this floor, picking up a Calcium from a rock. There's an exit here, which nets you TM53 Surf! Go back to the first floor and take the down ladder. A Big Mushroom is at the NW end, and if you head south from the ladder you came from, you can find an Exotic Ore inside a small rock. Head east to the pond with the whirlpool and pick up a Net Ball from the rock NW of it, then remove the whirlpool and continue due east, across a pond, all the way to the east wall. The rock here has a Water Stone. To the south is a diving spot.
Guess what? This is the expansive underwater cave where we found Blena, but on a different side with only one other location to surface at. First of all, head directly north from the diving spot until you hit a rock, then slightly to the left, head north, then west to pick up a Max Repel. Heading west from the pond you came from leads to a mineral deposit, and heading south and down two sets of steps, you can go left to another pond with a diving spot. A Max Ether is in the rock pile NW of it. Take the diving spot for a surprise, it's Mew Lv40!
Okay, let's head back to the Caph Cave itself, there's a disguised trainer at the north end of the cave where the diving spot is.
Camoufleur Van: Magneton Lv39, Mimikyu Lv41, P1476
On the next floor, swim to the waterfall, scale it, remove the whirlpools, and head left and down first for a Parlyz Heal.
Super Nerd Braydon: Krokorok Lv39, Musharna Lv39, Heliolisk Lv39, P936
So this guy is looking for a Megaguardian. How about we exit to the south to find him? His name is Maco.
Megaguardian Maco: P636 and a Medichamite
Medicham Lv53, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Psycho Cut, Brick Break, holds Medichamite
CYERON TUNNEL
Mons found:
Horsea: 80% (good rod) • Magikarp: 70% (old rod) • Staryu: 60% (surf) • Lumineon: 40% (super rod) • Shellder: 40% (super rod) • Starmie: 30% (surf) • Finneon: 30% (old rod) • Bruxish: 20% (good rod), 4% (super rod) • Gyarados: 15% (super rod) • Tentacool: 5% (surf) • Tentacruel: 4% (surf) • Jellicent: 1% (surf) • Cloyster: 1% (super rod)
Recommended level: Lv45
So let's see how far we can go here. Well, you can go into the tunnel itself, there's nothing of interest outside. Although a guy mentions that Expert S, who we've heard of several times, had built this place, which is interesting! In the tunnel itself, go on the red line pressing A as you follow it until you get a Hyper Potion. Go to the south wall and keep heading east, pressing A as you go along until you pick up a Lava Cookie. Now onto the blue line, repeat the process until you get a Full Heal (one tile left of the fourth light in the tunnel. Now onto the red line, you soon will get a Nugget. At the south wall, a Blue Flute is along the way. The final item will be along the red line, which is a Full Restore. On the other side, you can go as far as the next gatehouse, but since we don't have the Tyron passport, guess what? We can't go further. Now let's head west of Caph Island.

Go west until you find the first island to the north to find a Megaguardian. Lv56 is recommended.
Megaguardian Skylynn: P960 and a Skarmorite (trainer has 2x Full Restores)
Skarmory Lv60, Drill Peck, Steel Wing, Substitute, Toxic, holds Skarmorite
Now take the nearby diving spot. Yep, another house. A rock to the west of the house has a Sacred Ash. The house has a spooky, looping maze, but all you gotta do is get to the Megaguardian in the middle.
Megaguardian Gant: P684 and a Gengarite (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Gengar Lv57, Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Destiny Bond, Mean Look, holds Gengarite
If you head east from the house, you'll go to the expansive underwater area where Aspidiske, Furud, and Muphrid Paths are. Go back to the route and let's continue.
Swimmer Jody: Lanturn Lv43, P172
Camoufleur Nayo: Skarmory Lv41, P1476
The middle island with grass also has the battle messenger (P2000).

Like when you first entered Etamin City, you of course get the prompt to do the storyline (recommended level: Lv43). As I would do, choose No for now to explore the town and there will be a red flag by the PokeCenter. Enter the house north of it and talk to the girl to get a free Grookey! The police department is to the north, but it's blocked since we're not going with the story at the moment. Oh, and there's a Game Corner here too, owned by the Western Tyron champion, who just so happens to be a relative of the Valo emperor. A guy in the NW part of the island can teach Swords Dance. The sole house south of the PokeCenter has an interesting persona! It's a man known as Mr. Mystery! A magician! But who could the mystery man be? He can teach Chronya how to play at the Game Corner though, which might just be handy! Of course he won't do it for free, because you have to battle him to do so (Lv47 recommended)!
PKMN Trainer Mr. Mystery: P2700 and Gambler LvX

Two diving spots to the left and right before the shoreline. Start with the left one.
Alrakis River Mons found:
Magikarp: 70% (old rod) • Graveler: 65% (rock smash) • Chinchou: 60% (surf), 30% (old rod), 40% (super rod) • Finneon: 30% (surf), 20% (good rod) • Golbat: 20% • Sableye: 20% • Staryu: 20% (good rod), 15% (super rod) • Quagsire: 10%, 35% (rock smash) • Weezing: 10% • Slowbro: 10% • Magneton: 10% • Slowpoke: 5% • Zubat: 5% • Koffing: 5% • Araquanid: 5% (surf) • Lumineon: 4% (surf) • Starmie: 4% (super rod) • Wooper: 4%, 60% (good rod), 40% (super rod) • Magnemite: 1% • Lanturn: 1% (surf), 1% (super rod)
Recommended level: Lv48
This area is called Alrakis River. The left diving spot has a mineral deposit and two particular rock piles at the north and south ends containing a Leaf Stone and a Big Mushroom. The right diving spot has a Max Potion (inside a rock SW of the water), and a Sea Incense further SW. There's nothing else of interest here, and we're gonna end up covering the Alrakis River for real sometime later in the walkthrough.
Back at the desert, go to the shoreline. If you came from the right diving spot, inspect the bones you see for a Full Restore.
Hiker Ran: Excadrill Lv45, Steelix Lv46, P1656
One thing to note about the desert section, if you go far to the left or right, you'll realize the screen loops. The Sage of Defense is in the east cave once you step foot in the desert. You have a maze to go through, which you can jump around with. Make your way to the NE corner to reach the sage, who will increase the Defense of your Pokemon. With an Iron, you can change the Pokemon nature to Bold, Impish, Lax, or Relaxed.
Crush Girl Mai: Heracross Lv43, Poliwag Lv45, Medicham Lv46, P920
You will soon find a cave entrance blocked by a Dark Worker! But you can't do anything with him yet, we gotta start the storyline in order to do anything. You can get an Aspear Berry if you inspect the bones to the left though. If you head SE from that cave entrance, there's a campsite.
PKMN Ranger Darian: Hisuian Decidueye Lv45, Ninetales Lv46, P1656 (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
The black belt is the battle messenger (P5200).
PKMN Ranger Kelsey: Magneton Lv45, Sigilyph Lv46, P1656
Soon you will find the Megaguardian Cameron (a bit SW of the last trainer, recommended to be Lv54).
Megaguardian Cameron: P708 and a Cameruptite (trainer has 3x Full Restores)
Camerupt Lv59, Eruption, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Flamethrower, holds Cameruptite
Head directly west from him to find a cave entrance. The bones outside contain a Leppa Berry.
Camoufleur Dan: P1692 • Smeargle Lv47, Fire Blast, Sheer Cold, Thunder, Hyper Beam, holds Focus Band
So enter this cave! Why? Well, you'll see down the ladder. Ignore the other ladder and look at the holes. This is a maze of sorts. Basically, you go across these holes, but stepping into the wrong one takes you to the floor below which is where the other ladder leads. Here's how to get to the other side:
Hole Maze Solution:
Go on the hole third from the right • Two steps north, to a rock • Five steps west, to a rock • Three steps north, to a rock • Three steps east • One step south • Three steps east, to a rock • Four steps north, to a rock • Five steps west, to a rock • Three steps north, to a rock • Three steps east, to a rock • North and you made it (recommended level, Lv50)!
Megaguardian Tanya: P636 and a Tyranitarite (trainer has 2x Full Restores)
Tyranitar Lv53, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Crunch, Flamethrower, holds Tyranitarite
That's it for the cave!
Hiker Nob: Marowak Lv43, Vibrava Lv43, Gabite Lv45, Gliscor Lv45, P1620
A bit south of Cameron, you can get an Ultra Ball from the rocks. To the south is Graffias Town. Alright, enough dawdling. Now we shall do the story, so return to Kurhah Island, check the flag and choose Yes.
When you restart the story, Chronya looks for the Police Department, finding Genba and Absolve talking. Chronya then mentions to Genba that Absolve doesn't want to go to Ivara. However, it seems their conversation turned out the opposite and that Absolve really does want to go home, because Team Delta was spotted in her hometown. She wishes you luck and wants you to help Genba, except Genba insists that agents don't need Pokemon. But before she leaves, she's itching to battle. Not now, but she'll wait at the entrance to the police department. Chronya then confronts Genba as to whether or not he lied about Team Delta being at Ivara. Genba then discloses more information as to how Absolve was kidnapped, well, it's a dark secret twelve years ago, as to what happened to her parents. After Genba leaves, you're back at the PokeCenter, so get prepared before battling Absolve at the entrance to the Police Department.
PKMN Trainer Absolve: P2460 and TM40 Aerial Ace (trainer has Super Potion and Hyper Potion)
Lopunny Lv43, Jump Kick, Body Slam, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, holds Lopunnite • Seadra Lv42, Surf, Toxic, Ice Beam, Dragon Pulse, holds Mystic Water • Ninetales Lv42, Flamethrower, Extrasensory, Calm Mind, Confuse Ray • Zoroark Lv41, Dark Pulse, Transform, Attract, Flamethrower
The loser of the next battle will have to give the other a Master Ball! Well, who cares. In any case, Vertice has prepared Absolve's departure as she has to run to a helicopter. In any case, it's time to enter the building. The first person you see is Grima. You can also see an interesting Zoroark to the side. In any case, Chronya tells Grima that Team Delta most likely has nothing to do with Bruce's disappearance. Grima immediately knows at this point that Dark Workers are still active (as if that grunt we saw earlier on Acamar Desert was enough proof). Here is where Grima reveals his real name, Sirus. Right now, he's trying to clear Logan/Alma's name. Government officials have apparently been assassinated ever since Logan/Alma saved the Sylon region. Sirus states that one person is responsible, but it's a mysterious person known as "The Shady". People are thinking that Logan/Alma is "The Shady", which he thinks is wrong. To further the accusations on Logan/Alma, the murdered government officials seem to be affiliated with someone named Saevitia. Sirus explains how Logan/Alma saved Sylon by defeating Saevitia who turned out to be the true villain in Pokemon Resolute, and even mentions the side mission where Logan/Alma went to the radio tower to defeat another who worked for Saevitia back then. Sirus is trying to prevent this crazy story from sweeping the regions. This is why Sirus wanted Logan/Alma to travel alongside Chronya, and also why Bruce may be associated with the murder cases, and then Sirus will go upstairs to talk to Vertice. Just then, the Zoroark comes to you. It's none other than Eliza, who has appeared in all of Wind1158's ROM hacks under numerous roles. We of course saw info on her origin stories earlier in the game. Chronya decides to mention a sister, but Eliza declines any sisters, until she mentions the name Elluce. That must've been the prisoner that Galen confined earlier, and because of this info, Eliza then leaves. Now that you have control, you should go see Vertice.
You can go as far as the third floor, as the next stairset is apparently the rooftop where the helicopters are. There are two entrances to the south. The left room seems empty but there's a Rare Candy in the central box. The right room has TM03 Water Pulse. To the south are more interesting characters, one white-haired and another with purple hair and a cape. One of them drops the name Harry, but in reality this character is actually Uranium, a rival character from Victory Fire who becomes the Tyron champion in Resolute. And the purple-haired caper? His name's Nelson, another champion, this time of the Western Tyron region. Two champions talking! Nelson mentions Uranium as the guy who beat the one who murdered Hail (Uranium's brother) and that he shouldn't call himself Uranium anymore. But his old name of Harry is useless now. He didn't have friends until he was known as Uranium, so he wants to let the name Harry die. They then notice you and even tell you about their champion status. Even though they have a reason for being here, Uranium gets a call from Tyron Tower and goes. Nelson then talks to Chronya, knowing that Altena is her mother, and also reveals he's the nephew of that Dark Worker boss, Viperum. He even worked under Viperum until five years ago, where he left and even stole a staff from her. Nelson also believes that Bruce may have been captured by Viperum. Then Nelson goes back to his league. There's just too many coincidences.
Enter the room behind these two, and you'll see several characters here, Genba, a dude with a white bandanna, Logan/Alma, and Sirus. You'll talk to Vertice, who will mention that you seem like another Bruce now. Of course, we have to find Bruce, and now, we have evidence of a suspicious group of people wandering around Acamar Desert. Also the white bandanna guy is Trevor, a character who was incredibly minor as a battle base leader in Victory Fire but had a huge role in stopping "The Shady" in Mega Power. Missions will be drafted, and Trevor, Genba, and Logan/Alma cannot go with Chronya for now. Vertice suspects a professor of Cyenn University may be in league with Team Delta, so they are to go there. Chronya is to go alone to the desert, it may be the best chance of finding out what happened to Bruce. Sirus has to tell Logan/Alma stuff, so he can't go with you. Chronya perhaps reasons that Vertice could be hiding something though.
Well, I touched up with the Acamar Desert earlier, so this won't take too long. Go back to that Dark Worker and defeat him!
Dark Worker Grunt: Krokorok Lv40, Heliolisk Lv41, Machoke Lv41, P1312 (trainer has a Hyper Potion)
Enter and take the ladder, then go east (nothing on the west side). Vindica is apparently here, accosting a Dark Worker on where the submarine is. Chronya and Vindica are here for the same reasons it seems, the submarine. Another person who is up to something! Anyways, keep going, there's only a couple of grunts to battle on this floor.
Dark Worker Grunt: Haunter Lv42, P1344
At the south end, Vindica will want Chronya to prove her power in battle next. She will heal you for this battle.
Defender Vindica: P3096 and a Garchompite Z
Absol Lv44, Aerial Ace, Night Slash, Play Rough, Swords Dance, holds Absolite • Gliscor Lv41, Earth Power, Aerial Ace, Poison Jab, Toxic • Lurantis Lv42, Leaf Blade, Slash, Protect, Grasswhistle • Primarina Lv43, Water Pulse, Sing, Aurora Beam, Dazzling Gleam • Armarouge Lv43, Flamethrower, Psychic, Calm Mind, Will-O-Wisp
Another free heal. Go for the second grunt now.
Dark Worker Grunt: Spinda Lv42, Rhydon Lv41, P1312
Take the ladder to be back at Alrakis River. Again, I won't talk about this area fully yet, but go down and a mysterious figure shows up. Oh, it's that hooded figure, the one who had killed Gavin. "The Hooded" says nothing of the plan, but mentions that Bruce is on the submarine. We've gotta find out. First, a rock pile to the SE has a Max Revive. Go to the water to the south, which is where the submarine is. We've gotta fight our way through this.
Dark Worker Grunt: Weezing Lv41, Golbat Lv42, P1344
Dark Worker Grunt: Gloom Lv41, Arbok Lv41, Ninetales Lv42, P1344
Dark Worker Grunt: Poliwhirl Lv41, Machoke Lv41, Bastiodon Lv42, P1344
Beating the latter two grunts will have the gate open. Go and Vindica appears behind you. She wonders where Bruce is, seeing as though this is the last room to search. What do you know, he is here. Surprised to see you both, Bruce tells you this is a trap, but Chronya already knows. Of course, even with that, Viperum and "The Hooded" arrive between you and Bruce. "The Hooded" will battle you in Viperum's honor. This time you must win.
Dark Worker ???: P1440 (trainer has 3x Hyper Potions)
Mawile Lv45, Crunch, Play Rough, Iron Head, Earthquake, holds Mawilite • Zoroark Lv43, Crunch, Flamethrower, Confuse Ray, Fake Out • Mimikyu Lv43, Play Rough, Swords Dance, Curse, Shadow Punch • Gliscor Lv44, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Aerial Ace, Protect • Sigilyph Lv44, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Air Slash, Mean Look • Machamp Lv45, Cross Chop, Body Slam, Rock Slide, Bulk Up
So despite "The Hooded" being weaker, Viperum puts her next plan into action, and the room closes! It gets detached from the submarine, and is now sinking into the sea. Despite what appears to be a present Viperum, she's speaking via a microphone, and that the Viperum inside is actually a bot, although "The Hooded" who's a female is a real person here. How terrible, using a follower and having them die with your characters. Viperum knows how to force people to work for her without betrayal.
And things only get hairier. What was Vindica hiding? And what about "The Hooded"? Even Viperum didn't know until her long lost child told her about it. But what we didn't know was that Vindica is Bruce's wife (Altena's alive!). As depressed as Viperum tries to make Chronya feel, she instead goes into a rage and destroys the robot version of Viperum. Seems part of a plan though, as it seems to be the surveyor that Viperum is using. Now Chronya wants "The Hooded" to reveal herself. The person is Annete, and yes, it was Annete who killed Gavin, her husband. Annete and Gavin's daughter was a hostage in Viperum's care. Even though Gavin was killed, their daughter still lives and has lived with a grandmother. And here's the next kicker. Annete and Gavin's daughter is...Absolve! Annete also shows Chronya an artificial arm, which she admits to trying to assassinate Viperum with her real arm 2 years ago. And even Vertice had to do stuff for Viperum, as a puppet like Annete. Of course, Vertice's son Genba and Annete and Gavin's daughter Absolve, both were kidnapped by Viperum. It's why they knew the existence of Vertice's rescue team well in advance, and moreso that all rescue members were to be killed except Vertice (didn't happen of course, Galen survived and raised "The Shady" while Bruce just left after he couldn't find Chronya). Chronya, happy to know about how great friends are, gives a good speech, arousing Bruce. Bruce's coat was also wet because he went to the sea to rescue Altena. Altena then found Chronya during her escape from Dark Workers on Sadr Path. Bruce and Altena stayed separate to keep Chronya safe here.
Chronya couldn't be happier about her parents at this point, but then the room shakes. Apparently it's Keldeo that's doing it according to Chronya. This must mean Logan/Alma is here to save us! You'll be back at Alrakis River, talking to Bruce, then you both go to Altena, Annete, Logan/Alma, Keldeo, and Sirus. Chronya immediately figures out that although Logan/Alma was supposed to be with Genba and Trevor, Sirus told them to save Chronya instead. They're then surprised at all the revelations that are thrown around. Annete turns herself in to be arrested, but Sirus declines this offer as Absolve isn't really safe. Sirus needs everyone to get rid of "The Shady" and Viperum. The two are cooperating together in this game, so our team of heroes must cooperate. Sirus then tells Annete to be his pawn for now. She will be working with Sirus, despite some lack of trust. In any case, the scene shifts.
Right at the office, apparently Logan/Alma has an impostor! Vertice is confronted by this impostor and immediately figures it out. The flanking officers attempt to stop the impostor Logan/Alma, but a trick is used to put them to sleep. And worse, Vertice is to be killed with these two as witnesses once awakened. The Logan/Alma impostor has no name and is nothing, apparently. Also Viperum is no longer the master of this impostor, but "The Shady" is. The killing is done, and the impostor disrobes revealing a female Delta grunt. Looks like that same woman who may be Eliza's sister, the same one that Galen incarcerated. And worse, the officers wake up and believe it was really Logan/Alma who killed Vertice.
Of course, your characters arrive at the scene after the officers tell the story, and find Vertice dead, with Bruce and Altena wondering what happened. Sirus blames himself for not protecting Vertice at this point. And the officers arrive to arrest Logan/Alma and blame them as "The Shady". Keldeo is released, tasked to take Logan/Alma's Pokemon to run. Logan/Alma gets arrested, with the evidence of the impostor killing Vertice with Logan/Alma's identity. Chronya is then talking with Bruce, Altena, Sirus, as well as Trevor and Genba who have arrived too. Genba is the most distraught, and he goes off to find the real killer himself. Chronya knows this is a bad idea, as the real mastermind would know Genba would lose it. Trevor then gives some results, that the enemy may have plans in Zosma Town. This is our next destination. For now, we have free reign! The good news is you can fly to Zosma Town anytime, since I've already covered it before. But let's explore a few new areas starting with Graffias Town to the south.
GRAFFIAS TOWN
Mons found:
Magikarp: 70% (old rod), 60% (good rod), 40% (super rod) • Dewpider: 60% (surf) • Poliwhirl: 40% (super rod) • Marill: 35% (surf) • Wooper: 30% (old rod), 20% (good rod) • Poliwag: 20% (good rod) • Carvanha: 15% (super rod) • Araquanid: 4% (surf) • Quagsire: 4% (super rod) • Sharpedo: 1% (super rod) • Azumarill: 1% (surf)
Recommended level: Lv45
A girl outside the PokeCenter will give you a Torchic. A gentleman outside the PokeMart is Mr. Gossip. Pay him P15000 to learn all the skills and get the Bottle Cap item. The skills you do need to learn you will be able to figure out where to get them too. There's a Battle Arena here, so refer to the Battle Arena section if you're ready for new challenges. At this point, you should be a Lv5 trainer, but I would probably hold off for now on getting up a level. Still, I recommend challenging the Lv5 defender here (Ursula) when you get the chance, she is both the Lv4 and Lv5 defender and gives Rider LvX (same as Bicycle). The R button can be used to use Rider LvX once you have it. Of course, you don't have to do this right now. One place to explore is the SW house, where Blaze, a Megaguardian, resides (recommended level, Lv60).
Megaguardian Blaze: P768 and a Blazikenite (trainer has 4x Full Restores)
Blaziken Lv64, Blaze Kick, Hi Jump Kick, Aerial Ace, Bulk Up, holds Blazikenite
For our next skill, we'll need a Helix Fossil. You can do this by excavating mineral deposits with Fossilogy and can savescum if needed, so once you get a Helix Fossil, head to the SE house (Ralph and Gena's house). Talk to Gena in the back room. If you have a Helix Fossil, give one to her. You will learn the last level of Fossilogy, Fossilogy Lv3! This gives you a 20% chance of finding fossils, making it much easier if you're into this stuff. Ralph is a craftsman while his daughter Gena is paleontologist. Ralph wants to make a special laptop, one that can allow for portable storage of items without having to go to the PC all the time. You need 4x Metal Dust, 1x Magnet, and 1x Thunderstone. Give him the items and he will give you the Laptop. Using it will allow you to use item storage anywhere. Later on, you can talk to Ralph to make Bottle Caps. You need 1x Exotic Ore, 1x Big Pearl, and 3x Metal Dust to make Bottle Caps. The rest of Acamar Desert is to the left, but what's this diving spot? It's yet another section of Alrakis River, with a mineral deposit to the left and a Deepseascale to the south. We will be back here soon enough, but only after collecting a couple of key items.
At this point, I decided to continue the story. I already did all the stuff in the main walkthrough up to this point, and have no need to become a higher-level trainer at the moment (Lv55 would be recommended for challenging Lv5 defenders).
ZOSMA TOWN (revisited)
Recommended level: Lv47
Waiting at the PokeCenter, Altena arrives, this time in her normal clothes. She tells Chronya that Sirus found Genba in the Logistics Center, which had previously been locked. Altena will join us here, but Bruce has to recover from his injuries earlier, so he's sitting this mission out and will be at home. Altena will say she'll be fine on this mission, more careful than Bruce would be. Just then, Mr. Mystery arrives. Remember him? He does ask you to battle him, and he will have the exact same team as when you could battle him for Gambler LvX, so I'll post it again here.
PKMN Trainer Mr. Mystery: P2700
Banette Lv48, Shadow Punch, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Protect, holds Banettite • Bronzong Lv46, Flash Cannon, Psychic, Confuse Ray, Toxic • Flygon Lv47, Dragon Pulse, Earthquake, Slash • Musharna Lv47, Yawn, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Rest, holds Chesto Berry • Mimikyu Lv45, Shadow Punch, Play Rough, Swords Dance, Protect
After beating Mr. Mystery, he gets to talk despite Chronya saying she doesn't really care at the moment. Chronya is going to the Cyenn Logistics Center, and Mr. Mystery tells her that a friend of his owns the place. Well, if you've been here before, it was Kasper who owned the place, so clearly Mr. Mystery is a friend of Kasper's! He also knows that Dark Workers may have a hideout there, which is probably where Genba went to. He wishes Chronya luck, as he won't be directly helping her on this mission, promising his friend a special magic show. He even mentions that he did a good favor for his friend and his child twelve years ago, and then he leaves.
The scene shifts to a pink shiny Celebi in a forest. A masked person shows up and thanks Celebi for the work. It seems that the mysterious person is going to change the future.
Back in control, you obviously wanna head to the logistics center, which is now open. Inside you'll find Uranium, Eliza, Altena, and Trevor. Chronya asks a stupid question, as a test. In any case, Eliza tells you what she was told, that Logan/Alma was framed. She also says that the one responsible was Elluce, the name she dropped earlier. Chronya then thinks it was that one person they found at Team Delta's hideout, that one prisoner that Galen had locked up. Viperum had wanted to make Elluce like Eliza, but failed. It seems Elluce is not Pokemon or human, considered worthless in battle, but has the ability to change appearance easily. Even though it seems obvious to the player that Elluce changed into Logan/Alma to kill Vertice, there is no undeniable proof. The only thing to do is capture her. Uranium believes that someone else could be involved in this too. Sirus is off to visit the owner of this place. He arrives with Kasper. He's happy to have everyone search the place, giving them permission to do so, and Sirus then tells him if he saw Genba. Kasper then says that Genba had left for the harbor, and disappeared. However, no ships have disappeared, so his disappearance is even stranger. In any case, the harbor is downstairs. Everyone leaves and you talk to Kasper and Sirus. Kasper then tells you his own suspicions about the secret area that even he himself couldn't find, even though he owns the place now. Kasper then leaves for something "very, very important". Anyways, forget about Kasper, even though he is clearly hiding something.
When you regain control, head downstairs, as there's nothing of interest on this floor. You can't use the boats, so talk to Altena and she seems to have discovered a passage, which is literally right behind her. A strange machine seemed to have concealed it, but regardless, we found our place. Still, it seems as if Kasper knew of the place but didn't want to go in himself, making it all the more important to be cautious. There's something else Altena wants to tell her daughter, but only if she battles her!
Defender Altena: P4400 (trainer has 3x Hyper Potions)
Absol Lv47, Crunch, Psycho Cut, Play Rough, Shadow Claw, holds Absolite Z • Gliscor Lv44, Earthquake, Toxic, Swords Dance, Bounce • Primarina Lv45, Surf, Moonblast, Hyper Voice, Ice Beam • Armarouge Lv45, Will-O-Wisp, Extrasensory, Calm Mind, Heat Wave • Lurantis Lv46, Leaf Blade, Grasswhistle, Protect, Leech Seed • Arcanine Lv44, Extremespeed, Flamethrower, Earthquake, Dragon Pulse
If you've noticed, this is her Lv4 Defender team when she's known as Vindica if you battled her for the Lv4 Defender title. Interesting. Altena then asks how you got the permanent mega Lopunny. Chronya doesn't have a clue how Gavin made it stay permanently mega-evolved. In any case, you get the Exterminite! It's a very special treasure from Altena's Valo clan, which you can use on the Mega Lopunny! A Mega Stone to further make a mega-evolved Pokemon much stronger! Let's continue. Yes, we've got a hideout to deal with, both arrow tiles and teleporters. The first teleporter is useless.
Team Delta Grunt: Machoke Lv44, Heliolisk Lv46, P1472
Five teleporters! All except the NW one will lead to the next room, with the NW one leading back to the first teleporter. The first and last teleporters are safe, but the others will have you ambushed by Dark Workers.
Team Delta Grunt: Sandslash Lv44, Gumshoos Lv45, Mudsdale Lv46, P1472
Team Delta Grunt: Gabite Lv46, Houndoom Lv46, P1472
To the side you'll see two grunts battling Altena and Trevor. Head north to find another grunt and five more teleporters.
Team Delta Grunt: Marowak Lv45, Floatzel Lv46, P1472
The safest teleporter is the rightmost one. Two of them take you to the center teleporter where the previous grunt is, and two others take you to teleporters which have Dark Workers facing them.
Team Delta Grunt: Poliwhirl Lv45, Vibrava Lv45, Rhydon Lv46, P1472
Team Delta Grunt: Ribombee Lv46, Gliscor Lv47, P1504
Six teleporters here. The SE one is the one you want, the rest don't lead you anywhere you wanna go. Now three teleporters. How to get past the arrow tiles? Go onto the teleporter you were just on! Otherwise you'll be back at the entrance. Taking the right teleporter will have you behind more grunts, who are battling Eliza, Uranium, and Sirus. One last grunt we have to go through to get to the main room.
Team Delta Grunt: Mienshao Lv45, Arbok Lv46, Araquanid Lv46, P1472 (trainer has a Hyper Potion)
Defeating this last grunt will change some arrow tiles below you for a shortcut. You'll also rematch a Dark Worker servant who was a little girl from 12 years ago, now grown just like you. She still says she belongs to Viperum, and you can actually battle her even if you already did this event. Also she got a scar from Viperum that she blames on Chronya.
Dark Worker Servant: Alakazam Lv47 (holds Alakazite), Ninjask Lv45, Obstagoon Lv46, P1104 (trainer has a Hyper Potion)
The girl of course was asked to go with Chronya but declined back then and is declining now. Soon, you'll find Genba, who says he found the last key here and finds it strange Chronya has made it here too. Looks like someone else had a key here. Genba is currently eavesdropping and Viperum is talking to some people, with Elluce and a masked person talking to her. Viperum mentions that Vertice was also killed, with Logan/Alma as the perpetrator. Elluce denies any involvement, and the masked person says that nobody expects a kid like Logan/Alma would be the perpetrator. Viperum then reveals that the masked person is her child, you know, the same one who was the Type: Full experiment! Oddly, the masked person works with Viperum, but believes she has no right to call the masked person her child or to be a mom. She also mentions that the masked person was a "boss's tactician", most likely referring to the original boss of the Dark Workers (Lumiere), and that the masked person was helpful with the attack on Orange Village. Genba realizes this too, and immediately rushes at Elluce and the mystery person. Chronya rushes to help too, saying this place is under control and the security system is broken. Well, Viperum is itching to flee, and the masked person and Elluce get a secret sub from a secret harbor. But this is the same sub they tried to use to kill Chronya with, and it's missing that room from before. So it needs repairs. Regardless, Viperum will use Annete's shadow Pokemon from way back when, while the masked person and Elluce run for it. Genba attempts to chase the two but grunts will stop him. In any case, Chronya challenges Viperum, stronger than she used to be back then. Viperum then summons Marshadow and you battle her.
Dark Worker Viperum: P1568 (trainer has 3x Hyper Potions)
Gengar Lv48, Confuse Ray, Sludge Bomb, Destiny Bond, Shadow Ball, holds Gengarite • Marshadow Lv49, Shadow Ball, Brick Break, Fire Punch, Ice Punch • Charizard Lv46, Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse, Steel Wing, Air Slash • Froslass Lv47, Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, Protect, Curse • Swampert Lv48, Earthquake, Waterfall, Bulk Up, Protect • Crobat Lv49, Toxic, Aerial Ace, Sludge Bomb, Confuse Ray
Looks like Marshadow never used its full power! It then disappears after you win. Surprisingly Viperum manages to run off. Genba had a hard time battling but managed his own against the grunts, which seems to be his first win in a Pokemon battle. But we gotta give chase against Viperum, in honor of Hail, Vertice, and other people who were hurt and killed. Genba then runs real fast, but Chronya worries about him being that eager to fight evil. Follow Genba, and then you'll find out that Viperum herself was betrayed by Elluce and the masked person, as the submarine has left without her. Well, looks like we caught Viperum for real. If it wasn't for that masked kid, she could've avoided prison. She then has a villainous breakdown, but then chastises Genba about his father, and how he was her pawn the whole time. She even mentions her own child, as well as other people who were under her service like Annete. Genba decides that Viperum is right, that the masked person is more at fault, wondering about how his father had sacrificed lives to save his own. Again, he wishes to go alone, probably still not a good idea. He even says he doesn't deserve to live. Genba leaves in anger, and Viperum could only laugh at how weak Genba became.
You'll soon be back in Zosma Town's PokeCenter, having Viperum in custody while you talk to Trevor, Uranium, Sirus, Eliza, and Altena. Trevor and Eliza will bring Viperum to prison. Viperum chastises Eliza as once belonging to her, but Eliza can coldly say she belongs to no one. After they leave, Chronya contemplates how Eliza and Viperum had known each other, and then Annete shows up. Sirus told her to come just now. Annete has info on "The Shady", but also has some more info about Eliza. Seems that Viperum had captured Eliza too, 15 years ago. Annete was apparently a teacher of assassins, and Eliza was her pupil at the time. Eliza's swordsmanship came from Annete as a result. But then, a man named Night saved her and changed her. Annete secretly helped Eliza here. Eliza was created by her previous master's father, and Viperum had kidnapped Eliza to obey, just like all the rest. But her master was already dead, and Viperum lied about it to Eliza.
In any case, Annete changes the subject and tells you about the most famous professor of Cyenn. Said professor is not clean and tried to create Mewtwo, a strong Pokemon much like how Team Rocket used to do. The project was canceled, but Team Delta seems to be involved. Our next goal is set; we must head to Enif City to visit the Cyenn University. Before everyone splits, Chronya then gives Annete her Marshadow back. She accepts, and then runs off for more missions. As suspicious as Annete is, Sirus is confident in her working with everyone here, since it will help protect Absolve. Sirus is a good manipulator as opposed to our villains. Uranium leaves, and Sirus does too, hoping to meet everyone at Enif City soon. So even though Viperum is finally in custody, we still can't stop, as Genba is putting himself in more danger each time and "The Shady" is still on the loose. Altena will join us on this mission, but first has to call Bruce to make sure he's home. Welp. In any case, we have free reign once again. Let's do some more sidetracking now.
First off, if you go home, you can go see your dad Bruce. Yeah, he's basically recuperating, and Altena would break his legs if he ever left again. Well, you could get some info from him, but only if you battle your father, which you'll want to be around Lv66, way too much at this point. We can do this later. As far as I know, you should be around Lv55 if you've been doing some sidetracking, so try going for a Lv5 Defender. My main recommendations are to challenge Ursula at Graffias Town for Rider LvX (similar to the Bicycle) or Yoshitsune at Nashira Village for Archery Lv2 (similar to Cut). Whichever one you don't face, don't worry, you can find them in their respective towns to battle them for the skill in the future.
With Archery Lv2, you can access a cave at the east side of Phad Path with a maze leading to a Megaguardian (recommended level: Lv30).
Megaguardian Teela: P372 and a Steelixite (trainer has a Super Potion)
Steelix Lv31, Earthquake, Iron Tail, Rock Slide, Iron Defense, holds Steelixite
Also with Archery Lv2, go back to Prism Forest, preferably from the Alpheratz Path side (if you come from Monolith Village, just cut the tree there for a shortcut). Go down until you find Yoshitsune near a Pokemon nest, remember these things? Well, you can do something about his dilemma. He's talking about shooting Pokemon nests, which seems to be where the Bug Pokemon reside. He'll borrow Chronya's Mega Bow, but sadly will miss the Bug Pokemon he was trying to free. So he'll offer to repair your Mega Bow. What you need are 2x Metal Dust and 3x White Clay. These are common from mineral deposits, so you should have plenty of these if you haven't really been crafting a lot. Talk to Yoshitsune once you have these things, and he'll make the wild Pokemon attack! After you battle the wild encounter, you now have Archery Lv3! You can now get several kinds of Bug Pokemon from these nests that have been lying around the areas. Check the Pokedex section for which mons can be found in Pokemon nests, specifically. I will probably miss a few but I'll get at least the ones that are exclusive to the Pokemon nests. Next stop is west of Graffias Town, another section of Acamar Desert.
ACAMAR DESERT (west)
Mons found:
Sandslash: 20% • Krokorok: 20% • Cacturne: 10% • Drilbur: 10% • Excadrill: 10% • Heliolisk: 10% • Vibrava: 5% • Helioptile: 5% • Sandshrew: 4% • Larvitar: 4% • Pupitar: 1% • Trapinch: 1%
Recommended level: Lv51
Like the north desert, you can loop if you go north/south, so just stay on the path. The first person is a hiker who's the battle messenger (P2900).
Psychic Dale: Gallade Lv52, Bronzong Lv53, P1060
Head left to see Ted again. He said he visited the famous craftsman Ralph in Graffias Town, cool. He'll teach you Craft Lv3 if you battle him one last time. He's got a team equivalent of a Lv5 defender.
PKMN Trainer Ted: P864 and Craft Lv3 (trainer has 3x Hyper Potions)
Pinsir Lv55, Aerial Ace, Megahorn, Superpower, Earthquake, holds Pinsirite • Gardevoir Lv53, Psychic, Moonblast, Calm Mind, Protect • Tentacruel Lv53, Hydro Pump, Toxic, Ice Beam, Sludge Bomb • Golem Lv54, Counter, Rock Slide, Explosion, Earthquake, holds Focus Band • Breloom Lv54, Cross Chop, Leech Seed, Leaf Blade, Spore • Salamence Lv54, Fly, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Metal Claw
Read the Crafting document for what you can now craft!
Psychic Patricia: Musharna Lv52, Alolan Marowak Lv54, P1080
Hiker Dylan: Steelix Lv51, Gabite Lv52, Metagross Lv53, P1908
There's a Thunderstone SW of Chara Pyramid; are you ready to enter? Before you do, go west of the pyramid to find a Megaguardian near the rocks. Lv56 recommended.
Megaguardian Edvin: P960 and an Excadrite (trainer has 2x Full Restores and 1x Hyper Potion)
Excadrill Lv60, Earthquake, Iron Head, Rock Slide, X-Scissor, holds Excadrite
CHARA PYRAMID
Mons found:
Shuppet: 20% • Banette: 20% • Lampent: 10% • Vibrava: 10% • Smeargle: 10% • Gastly: 10% • Haunter: 5% • Bronzor: 5% • Natu: 5% • Xatu: 4% • Bronzong: 1%
Recommended level: Lv55
First, go up. The scientist is a battle messenger (P5000).
Crush Girl Belar: Torracat Lv53, Machoke Lv53, Hawlucha Lv53, Mienshao Lv54, P1080
Yeah this place is sort of a maze. Head east, south, east when you can, north all the way, and into this room first to find a Megaguardian (recommended to be Lv59).
Megaguardian Banny: P756 and a Banettite (trainer has 2x Full Restores)
Banette Lv63, Shadow Punch, Crunch, Fire Punch, Fake Out, holds Banettite
And don't forget the PP Max in the corridor behind her. There's two more trainers in the vicinity here.
PKMN Ranger Joshua: Blaziken Lv55, Weezing Lv56, P2016 (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Hiker Parker: Flygon Lv54, Camerupt Lv55, P1980
From that last trainer, go behind the wall where he was at and go all the way to the west side to get a hidden Nugget. Go back to the last trainer and head SW from him until you can go north. Go north and a bit east, continuing north.
Cooltrainer Emilia: Tauros Lv54, Pinsir Lv55, Alolan Exeggutor Lv55, P1980 (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Head directly north from this trainer to eventually find TM16 Light Screen. To the left are two more trainers.
Cooltrainer Edmond: Slowbro Lv54, Gengar Lv54, P1944 (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Hiker Grant: Onix Lv55, Rhydon Lv55, P1980
What is this "lost treasure" that several trainers are referring to? Did you guess a legendary Pokemon? Well, head a bit SW from that last trainer and you can see and reach it! It's Genesect Lv55! Afterwards, head back to Cooltrainer Emilia and take the NE exit, then go to the north wall. Run all the way to the west, to the NW corner, then south.
PKMN Ranger Laurel: Alolan Marowak Lv54, Krookodile Lv55, P1980 (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
To the right from her is an Exotic Ore. You saw an item when you went this way earlier, so backtrack to get it. It's a Max Revive. Head south from here.
Camoufleur Tanar: Machoke Lv55, Crobat Lv55, P1980
Keep going south, we've got one last trainer to finish this area.
Hiker Don: Sandslash Lv54, Gabite Lv55, Steelix Lv54, P1944
And go a little bit north, because you may have seen a weird Pokemon in the enclave (v5.41). This is an elite Machoke named Veteran Gregu and is at Lv68. This is another one of the elite Pokemon, and its typing is Fighting/Rock with the ability No Guard. Beat it to get an Elixir. Okay one more side area before we do the story in Enif City, so head there (choose No when you get there), head left, and enter Canopus Ruins.
CANOPUS RUINS
Mons found:
Geodude: 20% • Graveler: 20% • Carbink: 11% • Dunsparce: 10% • Bronzor: 10% • Zubat: 10% • Golbat: 5% • Gastly: 5% • Haunter: 4% • Sableye: 4% • Bronzong: 1%
Recommended level: Lv55
First thing, the two tablets read WE RECORD THE and HISTORY IN HE. Hmm? Three ladders. Take the northernmost one. The other two lead to an extensive cave system we'll get to in a bit.
Hiker Dillon: Steelix Lv54, Bastiodon Lv55, P1980
The tablet to the north says ABOUT THE LIN. To the SE is a tablet saying NEW EVOLUTION. North of there are two more tablets saying WAS DISCOVERE and AFTER KALOS W.
Psychic Cameron: Xatu Lv55, Musharna Lv55, P1100
The next three tablets you find say LINK EVOLUTIO IS STABLE HOWEVER THE EFFECT IS DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE, WE PUT STONES ON SPECIAL WEAPO TO MAKE IT STABLE WE CALL IT LINK EVOLUTIO, and THE EVOLUTION IS UNSTABLE IT HURTS THE USER WE NEED TO MAKE IT STABL. Here is Dahlia, the Megaguardian of Diancie. She mentions that the Cyenn Queen is apparently now a Diancie and she can't find it. She also gives you a Diancite for free! Go back to the three ladders now. We'll start by taking the right ladder. The hiker is a battle messenger (P6500) and the tablet nearby says GRAND WAR. Go SE for two more tablets saying A MAN and CALLED SREATH. Go north.
Cooltrainer Ali: Pidgeot Lv54, Araquanid Lv54, Victreebel Lv55, P1980 (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
A tablet to the north says THIS MAN ASMMONED REGI CONQUERED MANY EMPIRE HE IS AMBITIO HE CREATED RSKEHUMAN SOL. I don't know what any of this means. Get the Full Heal near the tablet, then backtrack to the two tablets that said A MAN and CALLED SREATH. Head left from there to find two more tablets reading IGASROLLED RE and NHE AMBITIOUS (also when I view these, I see a different braille page for a split second, possible glitch?). Head left and if you head north, you'll reach the left ladder and a tablet saying SREATH THE BE. Head back and left again.
Crush Girl Mea: Hawlucha Lv53, Medicham Lv53, Machoke Lv54, Lucario Lv55, P1100
As you go along you'll find four more tablets, in order, reading THE HEROES, GENERAL ARC, KNIGHT TYRON, and VALO EMPEROR. Continue north, all the way to the rock at the first dead end to get a free Energy Root, then move east.
Super Nerd Glenn: Slowbro Lv54, Magnezone Lv55, P1320
Keep going right. The next tablet says THE WARRIOR SYLON PRINCE AND THE QUENN.
Hiker Stan: Golem Lv53, Tyrantrum Lv54, Sneasler Lv54, P1944
North to three more tablets saying BEAST WAS KIL LINK EVOLUTIO IS A THREAT WE MUST HIDE THE STON AND THE WEAPO QUEEN IS THE FIRST MEGA GUARDIAN, TO SEAL REGIGIGAS ARC SACRIFICE HER BODY SHE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR TO KILL SREAT, and MANY HEROES TEAR UP WITH EACH OTHER TO PERISH THE BEAST THE GRAND WAR BEGINS, and there's a Max Revive here. Head NE to see a legendary along with a rock with an Awakening and two long tablets saying THE PRINCESS IS HERE and PLEASE GUIDE HER. Clearly this princess is the Diancie Lv55 here. You're all done here! Time to do some storyline!
ENIF CITY (revisited)
Recommended level: Lv54
So as usual, we have Chronya waiting, this time for her mother. Altena arrives, with Cyasine as well! She's now vacationing from her Elite Four role and while father Bruce is at home, she's with mom to meet you here. But I guess someone didn't tell Cyasine everything? Well, Cyasine now knows that she and Chronya are biological sisters instead of adopted sisters! Bruce had to hide the biological relationship to protect Altena. Anyways, Cyasine asks what our deal is for this mission, obviously to clear Logan/Alma's name. Cyasine does mention that Logan/Alma was someone who defeated her in the Tyron League before. Sirus is supposedly waiting for us in the Cyenn University itself, and they go to the place. The scene shifts.
Looks like that masked fellow is up to something, talking about a professor working on a project secretly. Sounds an awful lot like someone is getting spied on! Genba then comes in! No time to play with "that witch" since we arrested her, Genba is here to take off the mask on this mysterious stranger! Galen shows up then, oh no! Genba is down. Even moreso, it turns out that Galen is referring to the masked fellow as his child! Yeah, so this is the same child that Viperum had used for Type: Full, now Galen's adopted child. This gets even stranger when ANOTHER "The Shady" shows up! Galen and "The Shady" (the one who was here first) flee. This other "Shady" fellow goes up to the dying Genba, who doesn't want to die here. The other "Shady" agrees, but asks Genba to work for him from now on. Two choices, die or work for the other "Shady". This sets the stage for Genba's character in Mega Power.
Back in control, get ready and enter the university. You'll see Altena, Sirus, and Cyasine. Sirus has no clues on where Genba is, but then he shows up. He's covered in blood, and even says he's dead right in front of everyone. He tells Sirus that he is no longer an agent, and mentions the professor from earlier, Professor Neil/Tyra, the Mega Power protagonist. I believe whether or not it is Neil or Tyra is connected to which gender you chose for Logan/Alma, so if you chose the boy it's Neil and if it's the girl it's Tyra. Anyways, Neil/Tyra is being spied on by "The Shady", and is trying to restart the Mewtwo project, even if this may cost their job. The screen slides over to Neil AND Tyra both talking to each other. Our professor has accepted a donation from Kasper but the assistant (whichever one is not the gender you picked is the assistant) is skeptical. Thanks to the info, we find out Kasper is Team Delta's leader. Sirus will report this development to headmaster Kana. Genba will also leave. Although Chronya wants to continue finding him, Sirus decides it's best to let him go. Altena and Sirus will go to headmaster Kana now. Cyasine then gives you TM04 Calm Mind! Then she goes off; you ought to be following her.
The headmaster is on the third floor, and another student here names Salchimia, who's the Ivara League champion and apparently a teacher here. Downstairs is the laboratory, but it's blocked by a guard. There's also a sneaky trainer in the SE corner!
Rocker Selth: Araquanid Lv52, Kadabra Lv52, Victreebel Lv53, P2544
This is a trend as we head up the building, some trainers think it's great to battle and break rules even though the headmaster says not to. On the second floor you'll battle another guy, as well as visit classrooms.
Rocker Jerry: Ampharos Lv51, Heliolisk Lv52, Magnezone Lv53, P2544
In the classroom NW of this trainer, there's a Nurse Joy, but she won't heal and will just explain about healing items. However, a Megaguardian is here too (Lv55)!
Megaguardian Chase: P696 and CharizarditeX (trainer has 3x Hyper Potions)
Charizard Lv58, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Flame Wheel, Earthquake, holds CharizarditeX
There's another person here named Lora. We'll talk to her later. The classroom to the south has nothing of interest.
Rocker Hubert: Decidueye Lv52, Golbat Lv54, P2592
Let's go to 3F. This is where the headmaster is. There's a library to the west, and a lounge to the west of that. The guy here is a rule breaker but also a battle messenger (P100). A hidden Protein is in between the beds. A scientist mentions that the first headmaster here was the grandfather of Kana. Nothing to the left, so let's check the headmaster's office.
So the blondie at the couch must be the headmaster, Kana, and the other blondie next to Nelson is her daughter, Cybil! She's trying to be a stronger trainer and to bring her sister, Chloris, back home. Nelson here has also helped Cybil train, but reasons that there will be opponents tougher than she would think. Cybil is really determined to find Chloris no matter the cost. When she runs off, Nelson and Kana realize your party's presence, and Kana just says it straight: Chloris is a part of Team Delta. Cybil thinks it's all her fault. In any case, we introduce ourselves, and everyone knows Chronya as the one who took down Viperum. Nelson thinks we might be strong enough to become champion against him someday. Now, if you don't have the Tyron Passport, guess what? Nelson gives you one for free! And will also give you a Master Ball. However, if you spent 9999 coins to get a Tyron Passport on your own, he instead gives you three Master Balls!
Anyways, we've got an investigation on young professor Neil/Tyra. As crazy as the Mewtwo project is, Neil/Tyra is considered a professor in good standing. They at least tried to cover things up, but Neil/Tyra still is working on it in secret, funded by Kasper. This convinces Kana, and it seems like Neil/Tyra is going to be fired as a professor and their stuff confiscated. Sirus disagrees with the initial notion, as they need to get their hands on the project before evil hands get it. During the discussion, an earthquake occurs. An officer confirms Team Delta is involved with what's going on in the lab downstairs. The exits will be blocked and it seems because there's a possibility of spies within the university. It seems we're the trusted team here. Everyone gets the mission to do this, but Kana pulls Chronya aside and gives her the most important mission, to take Team Delta down directly while finding Neil/Tyra on B3. You'll gain control. That PC will be useful when you need it. Time to head to the laboratory floors. Take the steps to B1F.
Team Delta Grunt: Muk Lv52, Golbat Lv53, Marowak Lv53, P5300 (trainer has a Hyper Potion)
Team Delta Grunt: Vileplume Lv51, Sandslash Lv53, Banette Lv52, P5200
Yeah there's some teleporters here. Take the left one and inspect the box to get an Iron. You can't open the door, so teleport back and ignore the second teleporter. It takes you to the next floor down, but you can access it with the steps to the left of the set we came from. There's a scientist near that set of steps.
Scientist Cal: Weezing Lv54, P2160
Now to B2F.
Team Delta Grunt: Zoroark Lv54, P5400
To the right and down is the path you would've taken if you went for the other teleporter.
Team Delta Grunt: Rhydon Lv51, Hawlucha Lv53, P5300
A lot of places here are blocked. If you take the teleporter in the middle, you'll be in a warehouse in B1F. Aside from a grunt there's another teleporter here.
Team Delta Grunt: Seadra Lv53, Lurantis Lv53, P5300
We'll be at B3F if we take this teleporter. It's somewhat close to the stairs, so just take it.
Team Delta Grunt: Mudsdale Lv52, Camerupt Lv52, Weavile Lv53, P5300 (trainer has a Hyper Potion)
Team Delta Grunt: Victreebel Lv53, Tentacruel Lv54, P5400 (trainer has a Hyper Potion)
Guess you'll just have to take the other teleporter here. You'll be in an enclosed room on B2F, where you can read some reports and such. Take the teleporter when ready, but don't forget the PP Up in the crate below that teleporter! Be ready, because Armando, who's still with Team Delta, is right there.
Scientist Armando: Kadabra Lv54, Alolan Exeggutor Lv54, Mawile Lv55, P2200 (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions and 2x Full Restores)
Armando tells you about the Card Key which is behind the table. Use it to open the door. You could have done this earlier, but examine the blueprint to get an Elixir! The next door you can open is the one with those reports. The next one on this floor at the west side leads to an HP Up. Go to B3F and open the door at the SW end to get an X Special. Go back to B1F's warehouse and open the door here.
Team Delta Grunt: Sigilyph Lv52, Muk Lv53, P5300
Take the teleporter and look at one of the computers here to get a hidden Carbos. Guess who you're up against. It's Neil/Tyra! The assistant Neil/Tyra, not the professor, though. Teams will be different depending on who it is.
Scientist Neil/Tyra: P2160 (trainer has 3x Hyper Potions)
If Neil (Male):
Swampert Lv55, Earthquake, Muddy Water, Take Down, Bulk Up, holds Swampertite • Salazzle Lv53, Toxic, Poison Fang, Smokescreen, Glare • Altaria Lv54, Dragon Pulse, Recover, Moonblast, Cotton Spore • Heliolisk Lv54, Thunderbolt, Agility, Thunder Wave, Slash • Sawsbuck Lv54, Leech Seed, Leaf Blade, Hi Jump Kick, Body Slam
If Tyra (Female):
Blastoise Lv55, Surf, Dragon Pulse, Calm Mind, Aura Sphere, holds Blastoisinite • Victreebel Lv53, Razor Leaf, Acid, Sleep Powder, Poisonpowder • Altaria Lv54, Dragon Pulse, Recover, Moonblast, Cotton Spore • Heliolisk Lv54, Thunderbolt, Agility, Thunder Wave, Slash • Sawsbuck Lv54, Leech Seed, Leaf Blade, Hi Jump Kick, Body Slam
And it's not just the assistant, Galen is here as well. We have to get by him.
Golden Trio Galen: P1944 (trainer has 4x Hyper Potions)
Sharpedo Lv55, Waterfall, Crunch, Fake Out, Ice Punch, holds Sharpedonite • Sirfetch'd Lv53, Cross Chop, Aerial Ace, Swords Dance, Body Slam • Garchomp Lv53, Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Swords Dance, Slash • Heracross Lv53, Megahorn, Cross Chop, Slash, Swords Dance • Tyrantrum Lv54, Rock Slide, Outrage, Protect, Earthquake • Gengar Lv54, Destiny Bond, Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Will-O-Wisp
Chronya then asks Galen, her former savior, why he changed. He says he hasn't. He lost his family once, and doesn't want it to happen again. The teleporter will take you straight to professor Neil/Tyra. Except the professor turns out to be Mr. Mystery! He's once again doing this for Kasper.
PKMN Trainer Mr. Mystery: P896 (trainer has 4x Full Restores)
Banette Lv57, Shadow Punch, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Protect, holds Banettite • Bronzong Lv55, Flash Cannon, Psychic, Confuse Ray, Toxic • Flygon Lv55, Dragon Pulse, Earthquake, Slash, Aerial Ace • Umbreon Lv55, Dark Pulse, Moonlight, Fake Out, Curse • Musharna Lv56, Yawn, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Recover • Mimikyu Lv56, Play Rough, Curse, Swords Dance, Shadow Punch, holds Sitrus Berry
Mr. Mystery knows that Chronya is trying to stop "The Shady", even with Kasper and Neil/Tyra safe. He also explains that he and Kasper are doing the same thing you're doing. His magic show proved to foil "The Shady"'s plan in this region, and that Kasper will take professor Neil/Tyra to a different region (Ivara). Chronya then goes to tell Kana about what happened, with Sirus, Nelson, Altena, and Cyasine nearby. Sirus then reasons it's not all that bad after all, and we may have messed up "The Shady"'s plan regardless. But Neil/Tyra is on the loose anyway. Annete enters the room here, telling us she found a helicopter that Team Delta uses, and also confirming they're headed to Ivara. A blonde girl snuck onto the helicopter too. Nelson and Kana realize it's Cybil. Sirus doesn't believe Team Delta will hurt her, but he has to go to the Ivara region himself. Although he will bring Trevor along. This of course sets up all sorts of events in Pokemon Mega Power. Chronya will have to stay in this region though. Annete declines to go with Sirus as she is a criminal who murdered her husband. Altena tells her she can't hide from her child forever, but Annete reasons that she would be better if Absolve thought she was dead. Sirus then tells Annete she should help Chronya now.
The scene shifts again, this time with Kasper and professor Neil/Tyra. The scene here is actually the introduction to Pokemon Mega Power! Although they haven't left yet. Cybil pops in! She's after Neil/Tyra for betraying mother. The scene shifts again, this time to "The Shady", Galen, and Elluce. "The Shady" tells Galen to add more men to Team Delta as Dark Workers to foil Kasper's plan. Elluce will shapeshift into "The Shady" to attract attention, and if she fails, her bomb will blow.
The scene shifts once again, to the other "Shady" along with Genba and another man, with Genba explaining that "The Shady" is going to Ivara. The other "Shady" tells how "The Shady" in its world jumped into a volcanic crater to avoid identification. The old man here says he tried to talk to Viperum but she refused to answer, even though we know that "The Shady" is Viperum's child. And this old man by the way is Engineer BC, who's been in all of Wind's rom hacks as well. He's joining for a greater good. Even moreso, another family reveal, Kasper is his son! Which means that professor Neil/Tyra is his grandson/granddaughter. Engineer BC's inventions fell to the Dark Worker's hands in the mystery person's future, so he joined that mystery person here.
Back in Enif City, Chronya talks to Altena, Annete, and Cyasine. We're trusting Sirus here. Annete then gives you a surprise, she's giving you Marshadow! Because she thinks Chronya can use it more properly than someone who's a killer. Annete will also work for Chronya now, and will be in Monolith Town to report information. A nice family talk afterwards, wait, Bruce is here? Of course, he hasn't seen any action and it's too late for him to get in now, but he's happy everyone's safe. And he's happy with how reliable Chronya has become. Talks about becoming a champion and all. Cyasine also mentions that you can head to Western Tyron now as well. At this point, Chronya's newest mission is to become the strongest trainer in the world and to let Logan/Alma know how strong she is! Now you have free reign.
Head back to Cyenn University and return to Neil/Tyra's former office to find a Megaguardian (Lv60 recommended).
Megaguardian Charly: P768 and a CharizarditeY (trainer has 3x Full Restores)
Charizard Lv64, Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse, Solarbeam, Air Slash, holds CharizarditeY
Another thing, head to 2F and talk to a scientist at the east side. He realizes you have his Card Key, and he wants it back. Give it to him to receive a Bottle Cap. Also on this floor is a woman near the Megaguardian named Lora. She developed the Cyenn Pokemon storage system with professor Neil/Tyra (Lora is an aide), but since the professor left for more research on stronger Pokemon, Lora only did the storage system by herself. She wonders if you will fill out the Pokedex. If you have at least 50 mons owned, talk to her and you will receive a Max Revive for doing so. Keep talking to her after filling your Pokedex to get more rewards.
Pokedex Completion Rewards:
100 Pokemon - Rare Candy • 200 Pokemon - Gold Cap • 300 Pokemon - Master Ball
You won't get any more great rewards past 300, but I guess if you get enough Pokemon possible you would get the diploma. I managed to get this diploma even with an incomplete Pokedex in the newest version, oddly enough. Also speaking to her changes Someone's PC to Lora's PC.
After returning the Card Key, head back to the first floor and a gentleman to the right of the counter who is working on the Epic Ball project. He requires 1x Ultra Ball as well as 2x GreyApricorn. With these items, talk to the gentleman to not only receive an Epic Ball, but learn how to craft them yourself. The Epic Ball has 3x the catch rate of an Ultra Ball. Refer to the Crafting guide to craft Epic Balls.
At this point I decided to go to Cyeron Tunnel. Not Channel, even though I haven't covered it yet, but Tunnel. Head through the gateway and we'll be at Mt Hamal.

Head southeast to find a diving spot. Enter and head east first, stopping at the second-to-last rock pile at the east side to get a hidden Max Potion. NW of that you can find a Calcium in another rock pile. There's of course a Megaguardian down here (Lv54 recommended).
Megaguardian Alro: P708 and an Aerodactylite (trainer has 3x Full Restores)
Aerodactyl Lv59, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, holds Aerodactylite
If you keep going north, you will reach Skylight Village, technically the last town you're supposed to go in Western Tyron. However, we'll hold off on this for now. Go back to either of the waterfalls and climb them. A Battle Messenger is on the south island here (P2200), and at the NE is the grass for this area.
Scientist Tori: Heliolisk Lv48, Ampharos Lv49, P1960
Cross the water to the left of this area to find a Brightpowder. Southeast of there is one of the elite Pokemon, Razor Kamaitachi, an elite Linoone (Lv84) which is Normal/Flying with Scrappy. Battle and win to get a Revival Herb. You can't reach the Megaguardian to the left yet, but under her is a campfire and to the left of that is the entrance to the mountain. Also south of there is a Megaguardian you can challenge.
Megaguardian Fedele: P880 (trainer has 2x Full Restores)

Hiker Talos: Krokorok Lv49, Rhyperior Lv50, P1800
Head all the way east, then north all the way to get TM35 Flamethrower. Now head out the SE exit to get to that person from earlier. Of course, it's a Megaguardian (Lv53 recommended).
Megaguardian Talina: P684 and an Altarianite (trainer has 2x Full Restores)
Altaria Lv57, Dragon Pulse, Moonblast, Dragon Dance, Air Slash, holds Altarianite
Back in the cave, head north from the hiker and keep going.
Crush Girl Ruth: Medicham Lv52, P1040
Take the steps to the right, then onto the raised platform with the rock, which has an Ether. There is a man here as well, but do not bother with him just yet. Backtrack and continue north.
Camoufleur Miguel: Hawlucha Lv49, Victreebel Lv51, P1836
Up the steps and to the left for a Max Potion, then all the way right. Take the ladder, then go through the maze going up. You'll eventually find Entei Lv55! Head down now and this time we're going to the left side.
Pokemaniac Nalan: Weezing Lv49, Cloyster Lv51, P2448
Take the ladder and we're almost done.
Hiker Miklan: Onix Lv48, Mudsdale Lv49, Sandslash Lv50, P1800
The cave exit here leads to Iris Town, another town at the south end of Western Tyron, in a one-way trip. We're not going here yet. Go back to the guy who was east of Crush Girl Ruth. The guy here wants to find Entei. If you caught it in Mt. Hamal, have it in your party and you'll get an Ultra Ball, a Dusk Ball, a Timer Ball. He also talks about how he'll go back to his father, the Name Rater of Enif City. Head there and enter the SW house to talk to the guy, then the Name Rater himself. If you didn't know, as of 5.32, you can actually rename Pokemon from the Think menu, but only your first Pokemon and only if they have the maximum friendship. Say Yes when prompted. Chronya becomes a Name Rater of her own and can now change the names of any Pokemon in her party at any point using the Think menu.
Remember that I mentioned a Cyeron Channel? I think it's time we go there now. It's east of Muphrid Path.
CYERON CHANNEL

A Nurse Joy is on the small island. Show her three unevolved Pokemon which evolve via level, items, and high friendship, respectively (you can do this all at once). She'll reveal she was a member of Team Mirage under Night. As a result of these findings, you will read a notebook. This has an impact on the Think menu specifically, allowing you to upgrade "How do they evolve?" to be more exact.
Just go through the path, through the guardhouse, and to the other side. A diving spot to the NW leads to a Megaguardian (Lv45 recommended).
Megaguardian Bonny: P588 and a Slowbronite (trainer has 2x Hyper Potions)
Slowbro Lv49, Amnesia, Psychic, Recover, Hydro Pump, holds Slowbronite
