Continue to move north until you see a lake with a red gyrados visible. After fighting him (try to caputre him!), Lance will appear next to a sign. Talk to Lance and he'll run off to the shop, where you'll find him forcing some doors to open. This turns out to be a team rocket base entrance! After going around (talk to all the trainers, and get all the items), try to open one of the doors that has what appears to be a card key only entrance.After beating the trainer in the firstyou open, goto the second door, where you'll find lance and the two team rocket bosses. Lance takes out the guy, while you talk on the chic, who has an arbok and a few others (however, it's not jesse). Next, you'll have to take out the reactor by battling all the electrodes around it. Now, exit the cave, and all the men leave, along with lance. He'll also give you HM 06, which allows you to get rid of whirlpools (tide) You'll now be able to get into the gym, and go to the path to the west. Hit the gym, which is an ice gym. The leader has a seel, a dewgong, and #221 INOMU. A fire type will roast the place up. Once you have the 7th badge, you only have to get one more! Before you get to the next gym, you'll need to take a pitstop at the town with the 3rd gym (the one with the big market). Here you'll find that team rocket has taken over the town. To beat them, head to the house a little west of the gym, the one with the black steel on it. You'll fight a bunch of Team Rocket Members (watch out, their golbats are REALLY annoying). When you destroy all of them, go heal your pokemon, then set out to the northwestern ally of homes, to the tunnel underneath the town. When you go down in the tunnel, you'll notice a small little side ally, leading to a door locked until now. This is a mysterious place which is located in the basement of the big market. You'll notice that whenever you go back there again the crates would be in a different place Hit the switches, and beat the rockets, to get to the elevator, where you head up to find that you're in the big shop. Go to the center to heal your guys, then go back into the house with the steel on it. Go to the 3rd or 4th floor (whatever one has the big door on it), and hit the switch which opens it. Once you beat all the rockets there, you'll finally be able to go to the next gym (it was blocked off it you stopped there before, but now it's free for entry). To get to the next gym, head west (the guy who wouldn't let you through will no longer me there). You'll enter an ice cave, that has #220 URIMU, and some zubats, along with some really annoying ice mazes. It will take a lot of logic to figure out the first one or this map at You'll have to push down 4 boulders from the top level for the 2nd puzzle. The rest of the sliding ice puzzles aren't too hard. You'll exit the cave, and find yourself in another town. The gym here is a dragon gym, where you'll again have to push down boulders from above to step over the lava to the leader. The leader is rather powerful, and has 2 dragonairs, then a #230 KINGUDORA, and another dragonite. However, she's apparently either lost the badge, or isn't in the mood to give the badge to you! So, you have to surf behind the gym, to a cave. Once you get in there, surf around until you see a whirlpool. Using HM 06, the whirlpool will disapear. Now, surf around till a small little plank where you see an item ball. When you pick the item up, guess who appears: The 8th Gym Leader. She now has the badge, and you can now use HM07 that you got in the ice cave. Ho-oh: The rumor to get Ho-oh is you need some sort of Rainbow Feather. To get it you must go to Pewter city and talk to the guy near the route that leads you to Mount Moon. Mount Moon Has Changed I believe that is only in Silver. In gold I think you have to solve all the puzzles. Anyways, to get Houhou, go to the Town with the 4th Gym (the ghost gym). Now, goto a brown topped house that's next to another one that doesn't have a door. You'll go through and underground path to another one of those temple shrines. If you went there before you would have noticed that you couldn't do anything there. However, now there is a ladder so that you can go up the 2nd floor.... and about 5 more floors after that. To get around, you have to move over "jump squares" to progress to ladders going up. Once you get to the top floor, you'll see the bird like you would see a legendary bird in Red, Blue, Green, or Yellow. Remember to SAVE before you fight him, so if you don't catch Houhou, you can just turn the game off, and then turn it back on and fight him again. Make sure to have a ton of ultra balls (the pokeballs that cost 1,200), because noting else will catch Houhou, being at level 70 with alot of recover attacks.Ho-oh has some sort of fireblast attack that's pretty powerful (since it only has 5 pp), possibly a leer attack, some sort of psychic attack, and recover. Lugia: Just like with Ho-oh, you need some sort of Silver feather. You get it near the beginning of the game. A guy will give it to you. To get him goto the town on the coast, where the gym leader wouldn't go into her gym. Surf off the coast until you find some islands with whirpools surronding him. Use HM06 to calm them down, and go into the cave (make sure you have flash and strength). If you're in the right cave, you'll go right a little bit, until you can go on one of 2 paths. Goto the path on the top, and you'll go down a ladder. Now, you'll enter a small ledge with an item on it. Surf off here, and go down the waterfall. Now, as soon as you get off the fall, go left a little, to get on another small plank and into another section of the cave. Go up a little, until you see Lugia (or you may not, depending on if you got the feathers). Fighting him in Silver he'll be at 40, and still a pain to catch, and in Gold he'll be at 70 and VERY hard to catch. Remember to save prior to beating him. 3. The Shock League To get to the Shock League, you'll need all of the badges, and almost all of the HMs. Now, retrun to your home town, and travel east via surfing. You'll get to an area on a coast with a cave. Now, using HM 07 to float up waterfalls, you'll easily get past the cave, and on your way to the final cave before the leauge. After battling a ton of trainers, you'll end up in an easy to solve cave (unlike Victory Road). Before you get to the end of the cave, your rival shows up for a final time, to determine if you're ready for the league. If you struggle beating him, trian your pokemon up some more. Once you finish this, you'll end up in the center/market. Make sure that you have at least 1 or 2 pokemon over 60. You'll also need 3 or 4 at 50 for backup. All those potions and such that you've picked up over the way should be useful. There are also probally 3 or so revives that you've picked up along the way to help. Once you beat the league, you'll go through the credits, Oak and what looks like your Mom show up, and you finish. At the end it reads THE END... of course, that's not the case... 4. The 'Retro' World Now that you've become a pokémon master, it's time to take a step back into the past. Go back to your home town, and talk Utsugi. He'll give you a ticket to be able to go on the ship to the old world. Go back to Gym Town #6, with the empty gym. You'll now be able to get somewhere in the large buliding with 3 men guarding the port. This leads to a boat, and after beating some trainers on there it will arrive in the Red and Blue world! Here you can compete for the 8 badges that you have probally won a long time ago. Before you can access some of the gyms, however, you'll need to do some specail things to access some of the gyms, so take a look at this walkthrough: Gym Leader 1: Lt. Surge: Surge has been training a lot, and now is a formable rival. His electric pokemon are around level 40 or so, including a raichu and a few others. His gym is very easy to get to, being in the same place, and just requiring the cut HM that you already have. Gym Leader 2: Sabrina: Again, Sabrina has been training, and she has some more pokemon to her aresenol. However, she's probally easier than she was in Yellow, seeing how she had 50 abras, kadabras, and alakazams then. Now her pokémon are just around 40-some, and contains a psychic lineup. Her gym is right where it used to be: Saffron City. However, the Fighting Dojo next door is trainer less. Gym Leader 3: Erika: Right where she was in the old games, Erika lives up to her other gym leaders, and has 40 some pokémon. She has grass (jee, really!), and is pretty easy to eat (especailly if you have a houhou or a fully evolved fire starter). Gym Leader 4: Koga's Sister: As you have noticed, Koga has been promoted to a Pokémon League contestant, so his sister has taken over the local gym. Looks like she should have been in the league, because her pokemon are right up there with koga's. At 40 some, you still probally will be able to beat her pretty darned easily.
