Chapter 1: Shipwrecked
Prologue - Prolog
To start, the “M” key toggles a speed-up of the game. I play this way, but it is not required. The game will start off asking if you want
to skip the prologue. Rejuvenation is a very story-focused game, so I recommend viewing it if it is your first time playing. If you do
skip the prologue, jump ahead to the next section.
As soon as you’re done reading the Zorua and Pangoro story, take control of Maria and head downstairs to talk to Mom. Afterwards
enter the bottom room on the left side of the first floor and head downstairs and interact with the summoning table.
Head back upstairs and talk to Dad in the top-left room. Then return to the kitchen to talk to Mom. After that go upstairs. After a
brief flash and the sound of breaking glass, go back downstairs and talk with the mysterious figure. Head west back down to the
basement to watch the cutscene.
After regaining control of Marianette, head down, east, and up through the hallway and watch the final cutscene of the prologue
play out.
Exit the first room and talk to Nancy. For relationship points, say “I’m fine.” you’ve talked to Nancy and can roam, explore the S.S.
Oceana. In this game talking to everyone and everything you see can be vital to discovering new Pokémon and Items, so it's a good
idea to talk to everyone aboard.
Heading to the stairs on the left, in the two rooms you can enter on the left side, there are two notches in the wall. Interacting with
them, you can listen in on two conversations: one with unknown figures and the other including Nancy.
Head up the stairs three times to the right to talk to Cpt. Augustus, and answer “It’s been great.” for points. He’ll explain a few of
Rejuvenation’s mechanics. Head downstairs and enter the double doors to the upper middle room. Talk to Nancy to get the banquet
started, when you’re ready.
Once you regain control, follow the path and watch the events play out.
Now is a good time to change some of your options. I recommend doing Text Speed: Max and Battle Scene: Off if you want the game
to go quickly. For a bit more challenge, you can also change the battle mode to “Set.” I also recommend storing at least a few
backups -- save files can get corrupted.
Anyways, if you want to talk to the woman on the northeast pier, you can get an all-expenses paid trip to Hoenn, but it is a game
over. Otherwise, there’s not too much to do here yet, so head into the gate on the north side.
Talk to Mable at the top to get your passport verified, then head through the door at the top to enter East Gearen City.
The guy running in place on the left will offer to give you cinematic bars during important cutscenes if you want. Talk to the girl
behind the counter to buy some basic products:
You start with $1,500. I recommend picking up at least a few Poke balls to catch some team members soon, as a full team is almost
necessary to succeed in Rejuvenation, even as early as the first gym battle of this game.
Talk to Amanda at the top of the building to see a brief cutscene, then head up towards the door to meet Melia. Go through the
door to meet Professor Jenner. You’ll then get to pick a starter Pokémon by interacting with it. If you talk to the rainbow-colored
machine on the right side, it will randomly choose for you among the 24 starters.
As in Reborn, Speed Boost Torchic is arguably the strongest choice -- but all the starters can be useful in their own ways. The first
gym specializes in Poison, so the Grass-type starters may be difficult to use at first. Choose whatever you want though!
You can quick save with ‘D’ in front of the Pokémon you choose and use ‘F12’ to soft reset for natures, IV’s, shininess, and abilities.
All Pokémon in this game have a chance at hidden abilities and the shiny rate is increased to a little over 1/100.
Anyways, once you’ve picked your starter, head west for a battle with Aevium Scout Amanda! You can win or lose this battle.
● Hatenna, Level 5.
○ Tackle
○ Play Nice
After the battle, she’ll give you 5 Poke Balls. Head to talk to Jenner and you’ll fight:
● Froakie, Level 5.
○ Pound
○ Growl
After the fight with Ren, Jenner asks you to visit Route 1 to help Melia. He then gives you the Pokedex and the Cybernav! Head back
downstairs and listen to Jan’s tutorial.
The EV training center can be accessed by talking to the woman on the right of the counter, but none of its training rooms are open
right now.
When you’re ready, head back outside to start exploring East Gearen City!
Left East Gearen City - EGear1
This guide will not cover every NPC trainer, but know that as you explore Aevium there are many!
Patches of grass around Gearen City have opened, so consider catching some Pokémon to assist your starter.
You can also find a hidden Oran Berry in a patch of flowers to the left of the last tree on the east side of this street. As a note: I will
be only be noting the hidden items I would not want to miss in a new playthrough, at least until we get the Itemfinder.
If you go up to the north and around, you can find an Elemental Seed in this patch of flowers. There is also a Resist Wing in the grass
four spaces to the right.
Heading up to the park, you can find a Grass Gem here.
You can find a GourmetTreat in the wall between two dumpsters on the north side of the city.
Head out to the Oceana Pier. You’ll find a Nidoran M eating. Talk to it with a GourmetTreat for a battle.
The garden to the south is also now open, so you can catch level 5 Fletchling here by interacting with them. If you’re interested in
winning even the “impossible” story battles, make sure you catch one, for its Quick Guard move will help us win one later.
Head into the building on the west side that’s now unlocked. Talk to the “man” with the yellow hair, then exit the building and watch
Buizel run by. This starts a quest we’ll complete later.
Back in East Gearen, to the left of the lab is the Velvet Building. In each of the buildings, people will challenge you to battles, so be
warned. Head up to the first floor and talk to the woman in the middle. If you choose left, she’ll give you a Mineral Ball, and Steam
Ball if you choose right. Also grab the Great Ball in the bottom left. If you enter the second floor, you’ll see a Pachirisu running wild.
If you give it a GourmetTreat, it’ll battle you. There is also a Potion in the corner. Grab the Exp. Candy XS on the third floor.
Now go to the Emerald Building on the northeast side of town. Talk to a girl on the left side to learn about the mystery of the third
floor. You’ll need to beat a trainer to access the upper levels. On the second floor pick up a Red Shard in the corner. Talk to a red-
haired girl for a Full Heal, and get a Super Repel from an old woman. On the second floor a woman will get you a full heal. Enter the
third floor to battle a level 5 Shuppet.
If you enter the Magnolia Library on the north side of town and pay $300 you can enter the back side of the library. By talking to the
man in glasses you can use the shards hidden around the map for move tutor moves. These aren’t very useful, but you can get them
for your Pokémon if you want to.
After doing all this you may be strong enough to complete the final quest of this area for now.
If you go to the northeast corner of this area, you can interact with a Nidoran. Follow it to these locations:
After this encounter you can interact with it and battle it. Nidoran F is at level 5.
If you head to the northeast, you’ll see a Super Potion near a tent. Here you’ll meet Mr. Luck -- this is how you change your difficulty,
as I mentioned earlier. First time is free, then it’ll cost you a fee.
The center of the map has a row of shops. I usually sell the Elemental Seed and the Resist Wing here to get some cash. Here’s where
you get more GourmetTreats if you run out. We aren’t going to need any Reverse Candies in this game since the level cap is a hard
cap -- unless you use Rare Candies to go over it, you won’t need Reverse Candies.
If you want to use the flutes or you’re collecting infinite use items, might as well pick them up as well.
East Gearen Market -- Bottom-right Vendor (Only available Weekdays, during the daytime)
Reverse Candy $50
Soda Pop $300
If you talk to the vendor on the top right, he’ll attempt to sell you Poke Ball’s at $400 each. While this may seem like a rip-off, once
you buy four, he’ll give you a Voltorb!
If you enter the Shopping Emporium above the market vendors, there are a few shops open for business.
The Heavy Ball won’t find much use for this beginning portion of the game. If you haven’t captured Skitty or done the Nidoran event,
Moon Balls can be useful, but otherwise it’s not worth bothering. The right vendor is currently not in business due to an unfulfilled
help quest, which we’ll get to later.
Along the east side of the city, you should see Buizel. His trainer will show up. Win the battle, and Buizel is yours!
North from here, grab an Iron. Again, I recommend selling it as $4900 is a lot of money at this point in the game.
You can find a Revive here, which can be useful for the gym battle or again is worth selling.
Go up towards the Chrisola Resort in the northeast corner of town. Head east as you get up the stairs and follow the path to get
TM83: Infestation.
Chrisola Resort - CResor1
Enter the Chrisola Hotel Resort at the top of the map. After you regain control after meeting Saki, talk to a man in the bottom right
for a Super Potion. Enter the right hallway and go past the first two rooms and into the first on the upper side to get TM126
Whirlpool. In the hallway on the left, head into the open room at the top and interact with the tile down and right from the top left
plant for $1,500!
Head down to the Casino level and talk to the red-haired fellow. They’ll flush their Coin Case down the drain so we can pick it up
later.
You’ve probably noticed a few popups regarding achievements thus far -- complete them and you’ll earn AP, redeemable here. For
now, we probably can’t get much but I recommend saving up for the HM Items or the Exp. All as they’ll make your life a lot easier.
The card items will allow you access to EV Training rooms in Jenner’s lab, so those are nice too. Anyways, talk to the girl on the right
side to get an Achievement Card.
I wouldn’t recommend buying any of the first eight items until you get all the Golden items - they allow us to use HM’s without
needing a Pokémon in the party that has learned them. Very helpful. Go ahead and grab the Golden Hammer as soon as you can, so
you don’t need to carry a Pokémon with Rock Smash around.
Head up to the 4th floor of the building, Rooftop. There are Pokémon to encounter here.
Chrisola Rooftop
Grass: Morning/Day % Grass: Night %
Skitty 44 Purrloin 44
Glameow 24 Meowth 24
Caterpie 20 Weedle 20
Meowth 10 Glameow 10
Bellsprout 2 Oddish 2
You can find a Heart Scale here, which will be useful for move remembering in the future.
Enter the Aqua Building to the west. On the first floor, pick up the Old Rod, as well as another Iron! If you attempt to go to the third
floor, you’ll enter a (probably) impossible battle given the tools we have now. I don’t recommend this unless you have the money
and self-respect to spare.
Heading South from the Heart Scale area leads us to Gearen Park, with a new set of Pokémon to encounter.
Gearen Park
Grass: Morning % Grass: Day % Grass: Night %
Abandoned Sewers
Cave: % Old Rod %
Trubbish 20
Poochyena 15
Gulpin 11
Ekans 10
Koffing 9
Noibat 5
Head across the bridge and right to get a Great Ball. Go up and talk to a bug catcher to the left to get a Pecha Berry. Across the
bridge to the south of him, in the bottom right corner, is another hidden Zinc. If the guy flushed it at the Hotel, go left and all the
way down to grab the Coin Case!
Attempt to enter the room Venam runs into and it will lock you out. There’s an Antidote to the left.
Head back across the bridge, up and left to the generator room. Start the third, first, then second generator. Go back into the room
Venam went into for a long cutscene and a battle.
Knocking out the Trubbish makes this a two-on-one. Any of your new Poison-types should be able to resist getting poisoned here,
but really any strong STAB moves can take out the Trubbish. Ren’s Growlithe hits hard with Ember, plus he has two more in the back,
so you shouldn’t really have to worry here.
Coin Vendor
50 Coins $1,000
500 Coins $10,000
Left Vendor
TM70 Flash 1000 Coins
TM10 Hidden Power 5000 Coins
Right Vendor
Seel 1000 Coins
Spoink 4000 Coins
Maractus 5000 Coins
Helioptile 6500 Coins
To get coins you can buy them or play the various games in the casino. Of these, Voltorb Flip is easily the most efficient once you
know what you’re doing. I recommend getting Spoink for the gym and Hidden Power in order to spice up your early game movesets,
but it’s up to you.
The attendant on the left is the lotto corner lady, who’ll pick one number a day and check if it matches your Pokémon’s, like in the
official games. The prizes are as follows:
Lotto Attendant
Master Ball 5 Matches
Max Revive 4 Matches
Exp. Share 3 Matches
PP Up 2 Matches
Ultra Ball 1 Matches
Anyways, once you’ve gambled to your heart’s content, there is a bit more optional stuff to do if you want. In Gearen Park, talk to
Melia, and answer, “You like photography?” and “I love photography!” for maximum relationship points.
Head back to Magnolia Library, and for a short time you’ll be able to battle Ren -- it’s optional experience and money should you
want it.
Take out the first trainer and learn the color combination we need to build is Magenta. To mix magenta, add red and blue.
In the second room, we’re going to make orange and green. Do red and yellow first, then check the machine. Then do teal and
yellow to make green and move into the third room.
The trainer in the first room will tell you to make Orange, White, and Teal.
The first is red + yellow, and the second is green + red + blue. Finally, add just green + blue and we’re in.
Well, that would be all we have to do, but there’s a secret. If you mix brown, then white, then orange, you’ll get access to a secret
area.
A fun fact: the Seviper and Venipede boarded up gyms are versions of Venam’s gym from older versions of Rejuvenation!
In the upper left corner here, you can find a hidden Rare Candy! Here too is a Seviper Egg, make sure you have a spot in your party
for it.
Well, that’s about it for that area, so clear your team, equip all the good items you can take advantage of (Oran and Pecha Berries
work well here), and save.
Honestly, this one isn’t too bad. If you’ve picked up Chingling or Spoink, they can wreck the house here. Marshtomp, my starter,
helped as well, though Mud Shot gains Poison typing on the field. A lot of the starters evolve at Level 16 or 17, feel free to use your
two Rare Candies to level them up and back down to take advantage of evolutions. Ultimately this is not too bad and if you’re really
struggling with an under leveled team you can push them to the Lv. 20 cap and win by sheer stat advantage.
Return to Gearen Lab. The girl by the PC will gift you an Aevian Feebas from Jan! How nice of him.
Head to the Magnolia Library. Talk to the guard of the stairs to the right. As you have a badge, she’ll let you pass.
Upstairs, you’ll find a Black Belt who will offer to teach more move tutor moves for shards.
Library 2F Move Tutor
Dual Chop 2 Yellow Shards
Block 2 Blue Shards
Super Fang 2 Red Shards
Of these, Super Fang can be useful for catching Pokémon, and Dual Chop can give you coverage against Dragon types if you really
need it.
Talk to the girl on the right. This is Zumi, and she’ll start us on a Pokedex collection quest. We’ll be back once we catch a Dedenne for
her.
Head into Venam’s house south of the hotel. Her mother will give you TM102 Poison Sweep! This is a new move that can be useful in
the early game. If you head upstairs, you’ll find a Poison Barb.
Back in Gearen Park, now you’ll be able to give a treat to Gossifleur for a battle!
Head back to Gearen Lab and talk to the girl sitting by the computer on the left. Now that we have a badge, she’ll ask for some help
with an online fangame league. She’ll then give you a Badge Card. Talk to her again and agree to help.
One shop has updated inventory now that we have a badge. Head to the Shopping Emporium.
Love Balls are a very useful ball for their price, just pay attention to the gender of what you’re trying to catch.
Now’s a good time to start taking on the Help Center quests, so head into the help center.
We can also go back to the Petal Salon for one free haircut, which boosts friendship. Helpful for friendship evolving Pokémon like
Chingling and Buneary. It will cost $1500 after the first can be done once a day.
HQuest 6: Battle Me
● Start at Chrisola Hotel. Make sure you have a good team near or at the level cap and go to the battle room floor. Save and
heal.
This is a tough battle to be sure, and this won’t be the last time you’ll face her. If you can’t really win with your team right now don’t
worry, you can come back later to finish this one.
Anyways, all that’s left is to claim your reward at the help center -- $350 and Pichu!
Tell Rorim B. “Yeah, he’s a jerk” for maximum relationship points. Upstairs, talk to the bell boy in the left hallway, and the girl in the
first room in the right hallway.
Return to the help center to get your reward: $1,100 and a GourmetTreat, but also TM119 Magical Leaf!
Head back into the help center. You’ll be approached by Ayuda, who’ll give you a quest to collect Zygarde cells. He’ll give you the
Gather Cube to begin this quest. There are actually a few cells we can find around the map that we’ve been to already, so let’s
collect those now.

There are some trainers south to battle. When you’re ready, head north into Goldenwood Cave.
Melia will join your party here. Battles take place on the Cave field.
Goldenwood Cave
Cave %
Geodude 49
Noibat 34
Woobat 15
Furret 2
Woobat is good for the next gym. Head through the cave and watch the cutscene at the end. If you can, battle Mars of the Culvier
Clan here. It’s not required, but good to get out of the way now if you can.
Fire and Flying moves obviously work great here if you can stall out the Light Screen and/or avoid Iron Defense bulk. If you do
manage to succeed, you’ll get a Star Shard and a Sewaddle!
If you follow Melia, you’ll appear in a small room. Interact with the rock at the top for a PP Up! I don’t recommend using this on your
weak moves just yet, either save it or sell it for $4900.
Make sure you’ve caught everything you care to in the whole Goldenwood Forest/Cave area, as we won’t be able to come back for a
little while. Anyways, heal your team and talk to Melia, saying “I will cherish it too!” for max relationship. She’ll then challenge you to
a battle.
Pair up with Melia and head south. Fight the west grunt to capture Shadow Finneon. Melia won’t battle with you but will heal your
Pokémon if you talk to her. A grunt towards the bottom side of the lake will have a Shadow Cacnea. Head to the bottom part of the
lake when you’re ready.
Start by capturing Snorunt. Quilava and Meowth should not be too threatening at this phase as you should have type coverage but
watch out for Minior getting off a Rollout or self-destructing. Type: Null is bulky at this point in the game, but if you can status it,
you’ll be able to whittle it down.
After witnessing a scene and going north, you’ll be able to fight Rift Gyarados.
This is the first of the Rift fights in Rejuvenation. Essentially it has shield bars like Max Raid Battles in Gen 8 Pokémon. You must
deplete the shield before you can do damage. Luckily though it has no way to recover lost stats, so being able to use a move like
Growl, Charm, or Noble Roar can really help here. Putting it to sleep is a good way to do this, with the added benefit on this field of
draining health while asleep every turn. Breaking its first shield and making it too weak to knock out your Pokémon is the key to
victory. However, the plot will progress even if you lose.
Head back to Mei and Ayuda to claim your reward for getting all five cells so far: TM49 Echoed Voice!
Return to Jenner’s Lab and head upstairs. You’ll need to battle Madelis’ Houndoom as Melia, using Togepi. Technically this is a battle
that can be done, but it requires a LOT of luck. If you succeed you get a bonus relationship point with Melia. After a lot of cutscenes,
you’ll be back outside.
Chapter 2: Redemption
After the battle, you’ll be gifted TM94 Rock Smash! Use it outside, down and to the right, and you’ll see a Blitzle. Give it a
GourmetTreat and it’ll battle you! On the way out, head into Jenkel’s lab one more time and pick up 6 Cell Batteries!
To the right of Junction Bridge: the sewer stairs there will now be open. Here you’ll find a Rare Candy. Also:
ZCell 006: Gearen Sewers
Exit through the top at night and you can go into a secret alleyway area.
Here you can find a Telluric Seed.
ZCell 007: Gearen Alleyway (Only accessible at night)
Go up and give one of the Munna a GourmetTreat to catch it!
One more quest we can do now takes place at the Chrisola Hotel.
● Enter the room in the right hallway on the right, with Minccino in it. Talk to the old lady and agree to find Minccino.
● Head out to the lobby and find it near the elevator.
● Enter the left hallway and you’ll see it right away on the bottom side
● Follow it left and around, and you’ll see Team Xen Grunts take it away!
● Go to Gearen Park and fight the Grunts on the east side of the park
● Return to the old woman, who’ll let you battle to catch Minccino!
Especially if you’ve been catching all the Pokémon so far, you probably will have enough AP to get the Golden Hammer. This makes
it so we don’t need to teach Rock Smash to any Pokémon in order to smash rocks!
There are Pokémon in trees in the next area. If you want, bring a Pokémon with Headbutt to the next area, either Seel or Litleo work
great.
This is all we can do in the city for now, so buy a $300 ticket to take the train east to Route 2! Say “Cheer up, guys!” for maximum
relationship points.
Route 2 - 2Route1
There’s a Carbos right and down from the red flower on the left as you enter.
Route 2
Grass: Morning % Grass: Day % Grass: Night %
Spritzee 1 Hoothoot 8
Swirlix 1 Chingling 2
Remember to grab a female Combee if you want to evolve it to Vespiquen. Remember too to get Dedenne to continue Zumi’s quest.
The next gym is fighting type, so most of these are going to be decent options for now. The non-rare Chingling is soon so don’t fret if
you can’t find one.
There are a few more encounter types we can find here with our new field moves.
Route 2
Headbutt Low % Headbutt High % Rock Smash %
Pineco 10 Pineco 5
Butterfree 5 Pidgey 5
Burmy 5 Crabrawler 4
Metapod 4 Aipom 1
Beedrill 1
Each tree is either a “low” tree or a “high” tree. Low trees have more infrequent encounters, but typically the rarer Pokémon. North
of the bridge you’ll cross the left tree is a low tree and the right tree is a high tree. Be wary of Pineco’s Self-Destruct. Diglett will be
available much more easily in the next area.
You can talk to the Aipom across the bridge to catch them instead of worrying about Headbutt. We’ll want to catch TWO Aipom here
for a trade later. You can find a Magical Seed in the isolated patch of green northeast of this large tree. You can also find a
GourmetTreat here:
If you talk to Kecleon, he’ll sell you stuff. We’ll be back for a side quest with him later.
Kecleon Market
Poke Ball $200
Potion $300
Antidote $100
GourmetTreat $1500
Repel $350
To the right, there is a gold healing star, useful as we won’t have to run back to the city to heal anymore.
If you take the path across the bridge to the left, you can find a Rose Incense here.
If you talk to the painter here, he’ll wish to see Cherrim. We’ll return to this quest later.
After you’re done, enter Amethyst Cave.

Again, Xatu is another good choice for the upcoming gym.
Talk to Ren, and answer “Is that strange?” to get relationship points, then head east. There’s a Zinc in the small rock pile to the right
of the bridge.
Head back around and across the southern bridge, and head downstairs. Grab the Blue Shard. You can also find a Revive in a box to
its left. Then cross the bridge to get a Great Ball. You can give a GourmetTreat to catch Lunatone. Activate Panel 1 while you are
here, we will activate 5 more for a quest later.
Heal and save, then head up. Pick up the Rift Dex to learn about Rift Galvantula. After gathering the Joltik located around the forest,
partner up with Ren or Venam and take on Rift Galvantula!
In the following scenes, ask Ren “Where do I go next?” for relationship points.
Back in the city, two things we can do now: first, talk to Zumi, who’ll give you the Advanced Pokedex if you caught Dedenne. She’ll
also send you on the next mission to get Drifloon.
Second, if you go to the Chrisola Hotel, our travels to Route 2 will prompt the girl in the first room in the right hallway to give you
Shinx!
Anyways, back in Amethyst Cave, we can head north. Here’s our first water source if you want to catch the two fish.
For now, we can’t do much in this area, so head north for a brief scene.
Head through the door and go up. Activate the panel in this room, then head through the southeast exit. Follow the path until you
meet Nim!
In the altered dimension, solve her difficult puzzles and prepare for a battle.
Tell Nim you had a good time for maximum relationship points. She’ll give you the Room ID Card! When you return, head into
Sheridan Village to the north.

Battles in Sheridan take place on the Forest Field.
Enter the first house and talk to a girl. This opens a quest for way later.
Go left to enter the shop. You can sneak around the back of the shop, if you do, talk to the shop owner from behind to get a Super
Potion!
Enter the shop on a weekday morning and you’ll see Beth and her Miltank. Talk to her to get a free Moomoo Milk sample, then her
shop will open. Note that Berry Juice can be a pretty good hold item at this stage of the game.
Sheridan Village Drinks (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday Mornings Only) (1 Badge)
Berry Juice $100
You’ll notice a trucker up from here: this trucker will drive us for free between Sheridan and Gearen, so take advantage of this
instead of paying the train fee whenever possible.
Head east and enter the inn. Talk to a girl in the first room on the left in the vertical hallway and take on her quest. The woman on
the right in the hall will offer to teach you a few more moves for shards:
On the way out, talk to a girl in the lobby to get a Sweet Heart.
Once you’re ready, we can take care of some side quests. Talk to the truck guy and have him take you back to Gearen City. In
Jenner’s lab, use the Room ID Card to get the Exp. Share! Read the note, then talk to Melia’s wardrobe to get the Audition Tape. Plug
it in to the computer to watch a lore cutscene if you want.
Head back into Amethyst Cave from Sheridan and reach the second room. Interact with this box of plants, then head north. Go to
the west side of the room, where you’ll see a man getting assaulted by Solrock. Challenge it to a battle and catch it to proceed.
Returning to the inn in Sheridan you’ll be given $8,000.
That’s about all we can do in the Village proper, so heard north into the Sheridan Arena.

Head up and talk to the Swablu flying overhead for a battle. Then knock on Keta’s door and enter the inn back in the village. Answer
“I will” to Aelita for maximum relationship points. Then rest at the inn.
Return to Keta’s house and talk to him in his garden. Answer “I am” for maximum relationship points.
Dunsparce 36
Meowth 31
Jigglypuff 25

Once you’re ready, talk to the spirit of Keta. He will give you the Soul Stone. Then exit and watch the scene and fast travel back to
Sheridan.
Now is a good time to do the Sheridan Village Help Quests. The help center is in the upper right part of the village.
Real quick there’s another quest we can do. Take the truck back to Gearen and enter Karrina’s hideout near the sewers. Talk to her,
and she’ll send us on the gang fight quest. Head to Route 2 and enter Amethyst Cave.
Head up, and before taking this room entrance, head west across the bridge. Beat the guy at the end to get Houndour!
That’s all we can take care of for now, so head back to Sheridan to see Keta.
Diamond Punch Badge? - Badge1.5
As soon as you’re ready, talk to Aelita on the battlefield
We would normally get the badge here, but Sensei runs off. Follow Aelita into the waterfall cave.

Once you cross the bridge to the right, prepare for battle and talk to the robotic looking thing. It will challenge you and has a Shadow
Ponyta!
Head through the door and battle the Xen Grunts. There’s a PC here for quick team switches if you want to take advantage of
Aelita’s heals. Take advantage of this and level your Cherubi to Level 25 so that it evolves into Cherrim for a quest. The second grunt
will have a Shadow Vanillite. The third has a Shadow Bonsly. Defeat SEC and his Flareon.
If you head to the right and down, you can grab TM43 Flame Charge. Observe the passwords written all over the walls in this floor.
There is a Carbos as well as a Fire Stone if you follow the path to the right. Right now, this will evolve Pansear.
SEC will require you to input a password to move on. The passwords are, in order, BEAUTY, IDOL, SHADOW. Talk to it a few more
times and it will challenge you with a Shadow Quagsire.
Once you’re ready, go up the elevator and head towards Madelis’ Palace. Go inside when you get the chance to, and you’ll team up
with Keta.
Head into the left room. Grab the Hyper Potion on the left and Revive up above. At the top of the room, grab the Yellow Key.
Head back out and go into the right room. Talk to Sharon to get the Green Key and grab the Fresh Water in the top right. Talk to
Mime Jr. in the top right to take it with you.
Go back and enter the top left room. Grab the Red Key.
Finally, enter the top right room. Make sure you grab the Up-Grade, Dusk Ball and the Blue Key.
Head back out into the foyer and insert each key into the keyholes on the walls.
This one doesn’t have to be won. That said, it is very possible to do so. This battle looks rough, but you’ll have Keta on your side, so
it’s functionally a 12 on 6. A rock type can demolish half of her team, and Keta’s fast fighting Pokémon will help you out. Two of
them have fake out, so when you get to Mewtwo, try to take advantage of those turns to deal heavy damage to Mewtwo. Mewtwo
also takes damage every time it attacks thanks to Fever Pitch, so take advantage of that and dish out as much damage as you can as
soon as her other Pokémon are all wiped out.
Afterwards, head into the door behind Madelis’ chair, and go down the lift.
We haven’t had enough legendary battles with only one gym badge quite yet, so follow Aelita up and grab the Rift Dex Info.
After a brief scene, you’ll be taken into a rift space. Talk to Volcanion and answer its question and the battle will begin!
Dimensional Rift Volcanion
● Volcanion, Level 23. @ Demon Stone. Ability: Water Absorb. Stat Spread: 110/60/80/90/200/20
○ Water Pulse
○ Overheat
○ Bulldoze
○ Rock Slide
So, you’ll probably be faster than this guy. With only 110/80 on the physical side, it’s not too hard to whittle its two shields then its
entire health bar down with some decent STAB moves.
Once you’re free, head to the gate in Sheridan, and enter the spring.
Spring of Purification
Zigzagoon 20
Illumise 10
Volbeat 10
Paras 10
Oddish 4
Watch the scenes and answer “Are you ok?” for some karma.
Once you leave the shrine, Keta will ask you to fast travel to Amethyst Grotto. If you’re ready, feel free. Otherwise, we now have up
to 7 new Pokémon we can use by purifying them! Shadow Pokémon in Rejuvenation have moves they can’t normally get, for
example Ponyta has Fell Stinger and Bonsly has Shift Gear. To purify, keep the shadow Pokémon in your party and run around, or use
the Purify Chamber in the PC.
One more thing we can do: head into the house in the bottom right of Sheridan. Gothitelle will throw a Nuzleaf at you to catch.
Neat.
Now is also a great time to pick up the Golden Axe if you haven’t already, we’ll be able to cut very soon.
Head into Amethyst Grotto ready for the REAL gym fight.
The Spirit of Keta will be able to give us a badge, so let’s challenge him.
● Donphan, Level 22
○ Rock Tomb
○ Bulldoze
○ Ice Shard
○ Poison Sweep
● Roselia, Level 23. @ Occa Berry.
○ Magical Leaf
○ Hidden Power Water
○ Venoshock
○ Leech Seed
● Ninetales, Level 23. @ Charcoal.
○ Flame Burst
○ Will-o-Wisp
○ Extrasensory
○ Feint Attack
● Krokorok, Level 23. @ Sitrus Berry.
○ Bite
○ Bulldoze
○ Hone Claws
○ Poison Sweep
● Lapras, Level 24. @ Sitrus Berry.
○ Frost Breath
○ Water Pulse
○ Freeze Dry
○ Confuse Ray
● Gallade, Level 25. @ Leftovers.
○ Drain Punch
○ Psycho Cut
○ Rock Tomb
○ Poison Sweep
Compared to Novae, this battle won’t be too hard but is still scary. Gallade hits hard and is fast. In general, you want to try to set up
on one of the weaker Pokémon like Roselia, if you can, it won’t be too awful.
After you win, you’ll get the Diamond Fist Badge! This enables you to cut and puts our level cap at 30. He’ll also leave behind TM103
Stacking Shot.
Trainer Amanda
● Bronzor, Level 24. @ Heat Rock.
○ Sunny Day
○ Gyro Ball
○ Confuse Ray
○ Psywave
● Weepinbell, Level 25. @ Miracle Seed.
○ Razor Leaf
○ Knock Off
○ Sleep Powder
○ Hidden Power Fire
● Miltank, Level 24.
○ Stomp
○ Milk Drink
○ Thunder Wave
○ Stacking Shot
● Hatenna, Level 25. @ TwistedSpoon.
○ Psybeam
○ Draining Kiss
○ Nuzzle
○ Aromatherapy
● Druddigon, Level 26. @ Charcoal.
○ Fire Punch
○ Dragon Tail
○ Sunny Day
○ Metal Claw
This is a surprisingly tough battle, namely due to Miltank. Once it paralyzes your Pokémon and starts stomping, it’s hard to get off a
hit sometimes. Putting Miltank to sleep long enough to knock it is one way to win this one. Anyways, after battle, she’ll give you
HM01 Cut!
Answer “I’ll get it done” after battle, then head into the sewers and make your way to the back room. Answer “You’re Venam’s
friend!” for relationship points.
Chrysalis Courtyard
Grass % Old Rod %
Ariados 40 Finneon 70
Herdier 20
Pidgeotto 9
Persian (Alolan) 1
The Ariados here aren’t very threatening yet provide decent experience if you’re looking to grind up a new party for the next gym
leader.
After Venam asks you to figure out how to get in, read the inscription to the right: Password #3: 8187. Head over to the left side and
enter the left hole in the hedge to get a weird key. Use it on the first gate. Then go through the hole on the left and open the second
gate from behind. Talk to Venam at the door, then sneak in the window.
Answer the questions as you like. When you regain control, head upstairs and talk to Marianette to get her to join your party! Talk to
her in every room of the house for background info. Enter Indriad’s room by talking to the maids guarding it.
He’ll send you on three trials. Before we do that though, talk to the maid in the entry room and she’ll give you a bonus trial we can
do while completing the others.
Start by heading back out the way we came in. Talk to the maid in one of the gardens to the south, Deandra, for a battle.
Next, take the downstairs left door to the Hedge Garden. Essentially a Dusknoir will warp us back if we ever turn around, so make
sure you’re always following the red ivy to continue. We can come back without Dusknoir in a bit to get all the items. At the top, say
“It was nothing” for relationship points.
Now follow the right path through the mansion to the pool. If you hug the left wall and go through a secret passage, you’ll see
another inscription. This one says Password 2 is 3135. Head up and beat the third maid, Yara, hiding in the left corner. At the top,
you need to navigate two pieces onto the colored tiles, but the buttons control both pieces. Carefully use the walls to your
advantage to solve this one. Three times and you’re done: save Lenny. Answer “To instill fear” for relationship points.
We’ve now fought all three maids, so return to the one in the main room. She unlocks all the doors in the mansion! Head through
the door on the left and go up. Inside you’ll find a Full Heal, Reverse Candy, Ability Capsule, and Elixir. Finally, return to the room we
woke up in and go through the upper doors. You can’t go through with Marianette with you, so we’ll have to come back when she’s
not with us anymore.
Head back into the courtyard and enter the Absol statue. Say “It’s ok, stay calm” then begin the quest. The first two rooms are not
too hard, grab the Max Repel while you’re at it. In the final room, you just must push the colored statues onto the respective tile
without getting caught by Tangrowth, then guide Tangrowth to its own tile. Say “You did well” for maximum relationship points. In
the next room, “It’s ok Marianette” is the best way to go (obviously).
Now that Marianette is no longer following us, we can go through the path in our room again. Enter the three passwords in the
machine, then head through the frozen prison to speak with Anju.
In here, it’s up to you what you ultimately want to say, as this is a split outcome. I recommend telling her the truth here as it will
open a side quest later. To do so, tell her the world is safe, Sheridan is safe, but Hiyoshi is destroyed. If you do answer truthfully, she
will give you Anju’s Pendant!
Normality Badge - Badge03
Exit and return to the mansion. In the main double doors, there is a maid who will fight you with three Audino, and when you win,
you’ll get 5 Exp. Candy S. You can battle her again, but you will not get more candies. Useful for grinding since there have only been
like 4 fights total since we got badge 2.
As soon as you’re ready, enter the white door in the main room and follow the path.
Once you win, you’ll be awarded with the Normality Badge! Our new level cap is now 35. Enjoy the following cutscene. You’ll wake
up in a room. Head to up to grab TM42 Facade! Then head outside.

Next head to Route 2 below. In a camper in the far northwest part of the route, show the guy here your Cherrim for a Miracle Seed.
Go talk to Shana in the Gearen Lab to continue the Johto quest. You’ll now have to fight Bugsy with the starter you picked and a few
more Pokémon.
The Poke Ball Emporium in Gearen has two new balls now, which can be useful for low catch rate water types like Basculin.
Talk to the guy in the trailer across the bridge. Since we have two virtual badges, he’ll offer the third leg of the quest -- we’re battling
Whitney.
That’s not all, he’ll then offer you the next challenge, this time against Morty.
Gym Leader Morty (Glitch Field)
● Misdreavus, Level 22.

○ Will-O-Wisp
○ Charge Beam
● Gengar, Level 25. @ Wide Lens.
○ Hypnosis
○ Dream Eater
○ Ice Punch
○ Night Shade
This battle sharply increases the difficulty for the Cyndaquil route! I ended up relying on RNG to win to some extent. Essentially, use
Eevee and Onix to take out Misdreavus and Haunter, switching to avoid Perish Song and Curse damage. Mismagius can be taken
down with Eevee, Onix, Qwilfish working together, then save Quilava for Gengar, where you must use Smokescreen and pray all his
Hypnosis and Ice Punch miss long enough for you to finally take it down. I recommend attacking first with Thunderpunch so that gets
disabled by Cursed Body instead of Fire Punch. If you succeed, grab your fourth Virtual Badge. That’s all we can do with him for now.
The girl here is the Move Deleter, should you need to remove any moves.

relationship points.
We’ll eventually need Sachet and Whipped Dream to evolve Swirlix and Spritzee from earlier. We’re also eventually (like, 3 or 4
more badges, but still) going to want 10 Sweet Hearts for a quest, so go ahead and get those.
She’ll also rarely have Blue Moon Ice Cream to sell. Ideally, we want to get a few of each for a side quest later.

Old Rod encounters are the same as outside. There is a shining object on the ground in the middle with the pillars: it is the Ancient
Wing. There’s a Blue Shard to the right. Hug this wall on the right until you see a small rock, in it is a hidden Sun Stone, right now,
useful for Sunkern or Gloom.
Attempt to enter Goldenleaf Town to the south. Then, interact with the tent near the campfire to the north. Answer one of the top
two choices for maximum relationship points. When you’re ready talk to Aelita for a battle.
Talk to the villagers if you want to feel like throwing hands. The villager down from the gate here offers move tutor moves.
If you beat the garden guardian at the bottom of town, he’ll let you into his garden. Check the middle normal grass tile, and right
fence post on the bottom, for a Moon Stone and Rare Candy respectively.

There’s nothing else we can do here till we get 4 badges though, so head back outside.
Talk to the trucker in the west side to head back to Gearen City - we’re going to make our final pitstop with Zumi. For catching
Drifloon, she’ll give us 3 Exp. Candy M.
As a note, this is about the time that I noticed I had like 117 AP and so I bought a few more Golden items as well as all the EV training
cards. You can do these whenever you want, but it’s a good idea to get them at some point as eventually. Golden Surfboard and
Golden Claws will be on deck, followed by Golden Drift Board.

Head into the gatehouse on the left side and you’ll be recruited by “C” to take care of the Dimensional Rift, but only after a 3v3
battle with his three bug types.
International Police “C”

○ Hidden Power Grass
○ Charge Beam
○ Signal Beam
Orbeetle can be annoying if it puts you to sleep, so have a way to account for that. Ariados isn’t hard to take down but make sure
you don’t let Galvantula sweep after a Charge Beam or two. Fire types will do well here!

First thing we’re going to do is head into Goldenwood Cave. We couldn’t get here with Rock Smash before, but now that we can, go
ahead and pick up the Rare Candy and Nugget! Your Pokémon should be able to now beat the Leavanny trainer, if you haven’t yet.
Back in the main area of the forest, head down to where you fought Zetta. There are hidden items all along this path. Down at the
bottom you’ll be able to find a Guard Spec.
Once you’re ready, interact with the dimensional rift to engage Gyarados, this time, with two shields. If it is too hard now, you can
come back any time before the fifth gym. Take it out, and C will thank us.
Once that’s done, head back into the Pokémon Center and talk to Aelita at the top. Say “It was nothing” for maximum relationship
points. After a scene you’ll be taken into a battle. Head upstairs to talk to Aelita and sleep, then defeat the three Xen grunts
downstairs disguised as Ghost types. Upstairs, head into the room at the top. When you regain control, beat the trainer, and answer
“How’d you know?” to not lose relationship points.
We’re going back to Wispy Tower. Enter Wispy Tower and go through the newly revealed path. After talking to Geara, Mosely and
Narcissa will join you.

a broken snag machine. Sad.
Enter the left room to get a Revive. The room next door will give us a password, UNBOUND, to enter on the right side of the area. Do
so and enter the room, battling the guy and getting the next password: SOUL. To the right is an Ether, then enter the password and
continue.
Interact with the screen and choose one of the two top answers to not lose relationship points. Back in the main room, head up for a
battle.
After the fight, MAKE SURE YOU HEAL, then return and go downstairs and through the door. Go up and you’ll fight Geara!
When you’re back in town, you can proceed to the gym immediately, or go tackle a side area real fast.

Once you succeed, head north across the bridge. There’s a Black Flute in the patch on the ground to the left of the waterfall.
If you enter the left house, there’s a Steam Ball on the ground. Talk to the scientist in the top right, then he’ll let you into the other
buildings. The bottom right building contains an Itemfinder! From this point on I won’t put any pictures of certain hidden items, but I
will point them out if they’re in the area. I recommend going back to previous areas to scan for non-essential items at this point as
well. Setting it to F5 was ideal for me.
If you haven’t yet gotten Flash from the Casino, I recommend doing that now. We’re gonna need it for a quest soon. Once you have
Flash taught to a Pokémon, enter the upper right house.

Once you’re ready, head back to Sheridan Village. There’s one more side quest we can do here. On the south side of town, you’ll see
a Sawk and Throh standing by a woman. After a scene and a fight with a trainer, you’ll have a chance to catch Throh!
Enter the theater and talk to Narcissa. Say “This will work!” for maximum relationship points. After learning of your challenge, enter
the door on the left. Battles throughout take place on the Haunted Field.

Enter the door on the left, then talk to Mimikyu and read the sign. As the NPC says outside, follow the lit torches through the
dungeon. Although it may feel like you’re going in circles, just keep following the torches until you finally pass through a mirror and
get to the heal and PC stars. Head through the door. Tell Ren “Go ahead” for relationship points then prepare for a battle.
In the auditorium, head down and grab the items: Super Potion, Rawst Berry, and Rare Candy. When you’re ready, take on Narcissa.
Once you’re done, you’ll get the Phantasm Badge and TM30 Shadow Ball! Now we can level up to 40.
Head into Wispy Ruins.
Chapter 5: Imprisoned
Enter the house near the garden and talk to Snubbull! The person will let you have it now that we have 4 badges. Enter the bit of
Wispy Ruins by cutting the tree next to the gym. Step on the tile, then enter the newly opened 4-badge gate door. Inside the chest is
a Big Nugget! Head into the graveyard at the west of town at night with a GourmetTreat, and you’ll find a Misdreavus!
Now, head back into Wispy Ruins. Enter the stairs and watch the scene, then go up in the cave. After going up again, a couple of
Shuppet will drop you into a pit.
Our goal here is to trap all the Shuppet into corners. There’s one in the southwest - after it moves for the first time, go down, left,
down, up, right, right. Now go up to the west middle area where you’ll see another. Once it moves for the first time, go down, left,
down, then right until you can’t anymore, then up. Also, grab this Max Repel while you’re here.
Head down from here and you’ll see a Phantump wandering around. It is vital for an event later that you get a female one here, so
reset if it’s not. Head all the way north afterwards, and past another Phantump, enter the 2-badge gate. In here, you’ll get a Dawn
Stone!
Loop back around to the middle, around where the NPC is with the crazy hair. Head up and to the right and grab the Cleanse Tag,
then follow Shuppet down and up into the middle. Get it to go back through the big loop counterclockwise, then follow it. It should
now be on the upper path, so follow it right and get it to crawl into the small path in the middle, then talk to it.
Go up through the center and head left to grab the Calcium. Head up and chase the last Shuppet. For this one, get it to the platform
in the upper left, then to the platform to the right, and down. Talk to it, then return to the middle of the north side and the Shuppet
will let you pass. Before climbing the ladder, go up and enter the 1-badge gate to get a Dusk Stone! Head up and through the ladder.
Go back through Wispy Ruins to Goldenleaf Town, then take the truck to get to Sheridan Village. We’re gonna take the female
Phantump we caught and breed it at the day care. Of what we have, male Cacnea, Oddish, Bellsprout, Sunkern, Cherubi, Slugma, and
Shuppet are all good choices for partners if you have them. Once you get a Phantump egg, make sure it doesn’t hatch, and walk to
Route 3.
This will only work during the daytime, but return to the Route 3 market, and talk to the boy in front of the old man. He’ll offer you a
trade of the mystery egg he just got for your Phantump egg.
The mystery egg is unfortunately determined as you start your save file, so it cannot be re-determined by save resetting. Anyways,
the mystery egg will be one of these Pokémon: Azurill, Aron, Absol, Togepi, Sneasel, Dhelmise, Aevian Litwick, Axew, Mienfoo,
Pawniard, Trapinch, Mudbray, Cottonee, Darumaka, Hatenna, Starly, Tyrunt, Larvesta, Mareanie, Stufful, Rookidee. These will all
be available at some point later in the game (though not necessarily this version), so don’t fret if you don’t get your favorite right
now.
Plusle 1 Linoone 1
Linoone 1 Minun 1
There are also Kricketot and Misdreavus in the areas to the north of where we start at certain times of day.
Talk to Aelita and Nim at the bridge to the south. Cross the bridge to the north, and Nim will join your party.
Plusle 1 Nuzleaf 1
Nuzleaf 1 Minun 1
You’ll also notice that there are Pidove, Hoothoot, as well as Flabebe in this area!
Interact with the stone den to the right of the bridge for a scene and to get 5 Rift Fragments. These will allow us to catch Shadow
Pokémon from within the dens, when we weaken them to 25% HP. They have shields like the rifts we’ve fought so far! Catching
them gets us 250/500 Rift Essence respectively, while defeating them gets us 1000/500.
RIFT DEN 1 (< 8 Badges): The common encounters in this den are Graveler, Nuzleaf, Solosis, and Tropius. The rare ones are
Relicanth, Meowth, and Finneon.
Head back to the left and let Cairo break the rock. You’ll get a Moomoo Milk. Up ahead, say “You ok Nim?” for relationship points.
Cross the bridge to the right.
RIFT DEN 2 (< 8 Badges): The common encounters in this second den are Tranquill, Wailmer, Dunsparce, and Vullaby. The rare ones
are Chatot, Snorunt, and Cacnea.
To the right of here, at night, you’ll find roaming Wooloo. To the right under the bridge, you’ll find that TM45 Attract is at the
bottom.
Enter Cairo’s house. He has a couple shops set up.
Crests are unique held items that give the species in question unique strengths to make them better. As you can tell from the two on
display, they’re generally given to Pokémon that are otherwise bad.
Get the Bike Voucher for now if you want, but otherwise start saving up Rife Essence. If you accumulate exactly 10,000, talk to
Chespin and Cairo will let you have it!
Head up. There are Duskull roaming here at night. Try to head into Akuwa Town to the north for a battle with Nim.
There’s one more quest we can start here and a few to finish before we enter Akuwa Town.
Head to the left, and sneak through the gap in the fence. Enter Lost Camp and talk to Maman. She’ll quest us with finding kids to
populate the camp, and if you talk to her again a few times, to upgrade the land. The land upgrades total $2500 for the first wave, so
do this if you have the money.
She won’t upgrade further until we’ve found four children - so let’s go ahead and start finding them. They’re located all over the
world map, so we’ll be taking a brief tour to get them all. Five lost kids are reachable for now:
1. Andrew can be found in Abandoned Sewers underneath Gearen City by crossing the first bridge north, then the first bridge
west, then the first bridge down in an alcove at the bottom.
2. James can be found by entering Spring of Purification from Sheridan Village. He’s on the right.
3. Marissa can be found on Wispy Path in the upper right corner of where Espurr played with you.
4. Matthew can be found on Route 3, the second bridge from the bottom.
5. Cybur can be found on Route 3, next to the mystery egg vendor.
These are the only five we can get before we get a few more HM’s, so return to the Lost Camp and there’ll be a few new things we
can do. Strangely, a few orphans will sell you stuff as they get here, Andrew included. Talk to him at the camp if you want to buy EV
Berries:
Lost Camp: Andrew (1 Upgrade)
Pomeg Berry $600
Kelpsy Berry $600
Qualot Berry $600
Hondew Berry $600
Grepa Berry $600
Back in the lost camp, Maman will let us donate again. Donate another $2500, and the camp will be upgraded for a second time! Exit
and return.
While you’re in Gearen City, exchange the Bike Voucher for a Bicycle! Gotta go fast. I recommend also at this point buying the
Golden Surfboard and, if you have the AP, the Golden Claws. We won’t be able to come back here for a little while after getting surf,
so if you don’t want to burden your party, get the surfboard now.
Head to the library and enter the room on the left and talk to the girl in here to do a quiz. If you answer all the questions correctly,
you’ll get a Thunderstone! The answers are brown, Goldenwood, and GoldenLeaf.

you can send to the lost camp.
Once you’re ready, head into the Aquarium/gym and go into the backroom…
Blacksteeple Castle - BCastle1
Blacksteeple is one of my favorite sections of this game, but its very story driven and has relatively few battles, items, wild Pokémon
and the like. I’ll be telegraphing every move you must do during this part of the game, but I also do believe it’s more fun to play this
part without referencing any guide unless you get stuck. We won’t be able to come back later (at least in this version), so it might be
a good idea to scan this section after you’re done to ensure you don’t miss anything. As a note - the outdoor section in the middle
will be referred to as the courtyard, the east section will be the quarry, and the left section will be the fields.
Day 1
We’ll wake up in the cells. Go to sleep, then say “You know, the usual” for max relationship points.
Exit the only way you can, then make your way outside and to the east to the quarry. Head down into the mines and talk to Saki.
Accept the fast travel, then talk to everyone in the mine. Once you do, the bottom area will open. Beat the trainer, then head to the
sigil at the top of the mine.
Exit Neved’s office and head back down the stairs and head all the way up into the colorful door. Talk to the crew, then exit the root.
If you go into the battle room and exit to the right, you can access some grass with wild Pokémon.

Day 2
Head on out and talk to the crew. Enter the door in the southwest corner, talk to the left guard to access the shop.
Talk to the right guard, then head into the courtyard. On the right-side upper level, you’ll find a kid, battle him to get the Mining Kit.
Enter the quarry again. All those glowing rocks around can be mined for items, just like in 4th gen. The item probabilities within are
as follows:
Mining Probabilities
Item Name Chance
Thunderstone 0.7%
Everstone 5.3%
Star Piece 3.5%
Revive 3.5%
Break all the rocks with Adam, using the Blast Powder he gives you. Head left and beat the trainer. After all that, head into the battle
room.
Now you’ll control Emma for a bit. Make your way through the path and all the way to the right. After the first minecart goes, head
left and up the hill to talk to a robot for a battle. Push it into its spot, then repeat with the robot to the left. Finally fly over the pit at
the bottom and fight the third robot and push it into its place.
Day 3
Head out and watch all the scenes. When you regain control, it’s time for 3v3 battles in the battle room. The first two are easy,
however the last is against Emma.
Next, enter the library on top of the stairs, and read the purple bookshelf. Then head to the garden area to the left of the courtyard.
Go up at the tree at the top, to reach a secret area. Talk to Saki and answer “I was stumped” for relationship points. Enter the hut to
talk to the crew.
Back in the garden, walk up the stairs on the right to interact with the crew by the sigil. Then reenter the castle and talk to Valarie at
the dining hall.
Next, you’ll play as Emma again. Head to the battleship first. Then sneak your way through the courtyard and then the castle to
reach the third floor. Enter Neved’s room, then the room to the right.
Back outside enter the library and talk to the wide blue bookshelf on the left. Then talk to the bookshelf in the middle, then beat the
trainer.
Day 4
There’s an impossible battle coming up as soon as we do the next cutscene, so make sure if you want to win add Fletchling with
Quick Guard to your party.
Enter the secret garden area again and enter the hut. After a lot of scenes, head back to the secret garden and down the stairs. Push
through the false wall, then again on the right. Say “We’re getting out” for relationship points.
Outside, Nancy will join up with you! Beat the guards as you go. She has a Level 65 Sylveon (!) so you shouldn’t have to worry much.
Once you get to the courtyard, head back up to Neved’s office. Heal and swap out your party, then head in.
Heal again and go through. Follow the stairs all the way up. Aelita will join your party for this next battle.
Well….
Decimation is a priority OHKO move, so use Quick Guard! Decimation has 20 PP and Quick Guard starts with 15, so some
combination of ethers and revives is necessary. Alternatively, TWO Pokémon with Quick Guard should work well too. Drain its PP
with Quick Guard, then watch it struggle to death!
Whether you win or lose, watch the next scenes play out. Say “Thank you” or “You came to save me” for relationship points.
Goodbye Blacksteeple Castle!
There’s a breeder in here who’s great for topping off your team and/or raising up new Pokémon.
Exit the room and head to the right. Say “It’s ok” for relationship points. Your Snag Machine will finally be fixed! Reenter the facility,
and head down the stairs to the left to grab the Dull Key! We’ll be using this a bit later.
There’s also the Akuwa town merchant here:
After you win, head out to the deck and talk to Melia again.

Cross the bridge to the right, then head down to grab a Full Heal. Go all the way up to Melia. You’ll then have to battle the Carnivine,
though you can’t catch it for some reason.
Follow her to the right and grab the Sitrus Berries and Oran Berries. Save/heal before you head right, because a cutscene is about to
take us into a battle!
As soon as you’re done, we’re back in a rift. Grab the Rift Notes: Code Sarpa. Heal and switch out your party, grab the pulse notes,
then talk to the four creatures on the four… Tangela? on the beach.
Enter the house here and grab the Focus Band. I recommend adding it to something on your team that isn’t holding an item - might
as well give your team an extra edge.
Exit and go to the right. Go down, as we can explore this upper area.
Talk to the characters at the village. You’ll get an extra relationship point with Melia if you’ve already helped take out Rift Gyarados
in Goldenwood Forest.
This moment clears all the vines in the jungle, so we’re going to head back down to grab a few things quick. If you don’t want to
catch more Pokémon or get some items, jump to the next section now.
Re-enter the forest and talk to the first girl from the top. She’ll tell you she wants someone to watch her Growlithe. Like Espurr,
we’re gonna need to get some relationship points with it. Just like last time, we need relationship points with it. The fastest way to
do it is to talk to Aelita below, then play ball with it… 31 times. Once you’ve done this, tell it to follow you, then try to leave the
forest to the north and you’ll get Growlithe!
Head left a map and enter the Weather Institute. The guy in the top right will trade for your Dunsparce a Castform! You can do this
infinitely if you want, in fact.
Head back out and go down. Here you’ll see a Vileplume in the ground. Sprinkle the Spice Powder on it, and it will attack. Cross the
bridge to get 3 Leppa Berries, 3 Pecha Berries, and a Tanga Berry.
Head left a map, then go down. After taking out another Vileplume, you’ll have access to Quick Powder and another cell.

so head back to the jungle. There’s still one thing left to do before we proceed into the village… bet you weren’t expecting a
legendary Pokémon so early, were you?
Exit the jungle south to return to the pier. At nighttime, Surf in the bottom section of this area, and you’ll be able to interact with
wild Phione for a GourmetTreat! Unfortunately, all 8 of the final evolved Water type starters are pretty much more useful than it,
but hey, it exists. Return to the village to progress the story.
Also, in the mart, trade in your Up-Grade with a girl to get Scope Lens! We’ll get another Up-Grade shortly, so don’t worry about this
one.
There’s an entrance to the Safari Zone in the northeast side of town, so go ahead and enter for $3,500.
You’ll get 800 steps and 30 Poke Balls per run. I recommend grabbing a Level 35-38 Pokémon and a lot of repels - most of the 1%
encounter Pokémon (not Wobbuffet, though) are higher level than the rest, so you can parse for them via repels.

Enter the hallway at the top. In the community rec room, a girl will give you a Weakness Policy. In the room above that, grab the Up-
Grade then talk to the girl in the corner.
If you’ve done all the other virtual badge battles, she’ll let us continue the quest.
If you’ve chosen Quilava, switch right away for Steelix: one Curse and one Gyro Ball should be able to outplay Primeape. On
Poliwrath you want to get Qwilfish in for Toxic Spikes, then let Jolteon finish it off. Steelix and Quilava should be able to handle the
rest!
Immediately switching to Steelix to get off some curses will easily get you through Magneton 1 and Skarmory - then you should
switch to eat the HP Fire. Knock out Magneton 2 with Miltank and Qwilfish, then let Qwilfish go off on Steelix. This should leave
Typhlosion to finish Steelix and one shot Scizor, despite the Occa Berry. Once you win, you’ll get the sixth Virtual Badge.
In the third room from the right in the hallway, grab the Escape Rope.
In the upper hallway, head left, and you’ll go through a cutscene with Melia. Return to the HQ and enter the last room on the left.
After that, head back outside and go to Route 5.

This is an easy battle compared to Valarie. That said, watch out for Type: Null, who can live thanks to Eviolite and set up to hit you
hard. Also, potentially threatening is Typhlosion, whose Nature Power turns into a +3 Attack Meditate.
We’re gonna be battling a lot of “Dexoys” here, which are Level 45 Deoxys with Thunderbolt, Psychic, Shadow Ball, and Flash
Cannon. Obviously, they’re tough to take out, but in a pinch, you can find a strategy.
Once you take out the final ones, back in HQ, answer “I’m alright” and “Can we ask again” for relationship points. Enter the room to
the left, and answer “Get me out” for a relationship point with Melia, or “A + A = B - B + 3” for 2 relationship points with Venam.
Anyways, return to the help center to get $4,500, 10 Reverse Candies, 10 Max Repels, and 10 Super Potions.
If you’ve done all the help quests, your reward is access to the safari zone garden. We’ll get this to a bit, but there is one more quest
of sorts that opened. Enter the door that the AA grunt came out of.
You’ll be entered into a 6v6 double battle, but if you can take Novae you should be able to handle this one. Grab the TM57 Charge
Beam and the Center Keys here, as well as an Exp. Candy M.
That’s it for the help quests.
Now, one more quest we can do. Enter the Xen Battleship, and the girl from earlier will be here. Talk to her, and she’ll run to the
deck. After you talk to her again, she’ll go into the main room. Finally, follow her to the very top through Augustus’ room. That’s all
we can do here for now, so back in Kakori, enter the house of the girl who we took to the boat, and she’ll give you a Destiny Knot.
Now that we have the Good Rod, there are a couple new Pokémon we can obtain in these areas.

● Head back down, left, left up, and from here return to the upper left region as we’ve done before
● Instead, take the upper right upwards arrow that leads to the upper right.
● Take the rightwards arrow that takes you through the pink path and we’re out.
Afterwards, enter the hidden cave. After a cutscene, we’ll be taken back out to the entrance of the forest. Accept the fast travel to
head back to Kakori.
Now we can take the boat to return to Gearen City at this point… so all Floria Island we’ve seen so far is now explorable with Surf. All
the following areas are optional, so if you want to continue the story, jump to the badge section.
Talk to Dragonite in Oceana Pier. He’s lost some letters, so we’re going to help pick them up for it. The first is immediately up and
left from it. The second is left behind some trees. The third is in the upper left corner between some dumpsters. Give them back to
get a Thunderstone!
Talk to the woman with the cart by the Gearen City Entrance. She’ll offer you a Link Heart for $10,000. This will evolve a trade
evolution for us, so I recommend grabbing it now.
Enter the Magnolia Library and talk to Zumi upstairs to get our next quest. She’s looking for Pyukumuku, which we already have.
She’ll give us 6 Exp. Candy M. Our next quest is for Mareep!
The Shopping Emporium has new wares for us now that we have five badges:

The second letter is on the hill south of the cemetery. The third is in the grass area at the bottom. Finally, the fourth on the hill to the
right of Narcissa’s house. Once we have all four, talk to Dragonite to get TM113 Brutal Swing!

Talk to the lady with the Meganium, and since we have five badges, she’ll let us have Chikorita for the Plusle we got on Route 4.
At the top of the route, surf all the way up and we’ll reach a new area!
Comfey 2 Shuckle 66

Use your Itemfinder here - there are some cool things here, including an Ability Capsule, a PP Up, and an HP Up.

battle!
The door is locked for now, but we’ll be back after our next badge. Surf out of here to the north to return to Goldenleaf Town and
take the truck to Akuwa Town.
Route 4 Second Visit - 4Route2
Enter Route 4 from Akuwa Town.
Head all the way to the entrance by Wispy Ruins. Surf up at the top of the mountain: you’ll find Teddy here, the eighth of the nine
lost kids for the Lost Camp side quest. There is also another den here!
RIFT DEN 3 (< 8 Badges): The common encounters in this second den are Herdier, Crabrawler, Pachirisu, and Chimecho. The rare
ones are Rhyhorn, Vanillite, and Purugly.
Head north to cross the leftmost bridge: surfing here leads us to the fourth den.
RIFT DEN 4 (< 8 Badges): The common encounters in this second den are Lotad, Gastrodon, and Palpitoad. The rare ones are
Mantyke and Frillish.
That’s all that we can do here for now. You might have enough Rift Essence to grab those crests if you haven’t gotten them yet.

you’ll find Poliwag #3!

Catch two Sandshrew here, we are gonna trade one away in a bit. Change the field to water surface via one of these moves: Heat
Wave, Flame Burst, Lava Plume, Eruption, to access the water encounters. Your easiest bet right now is probably Pansear, who gets
Flame Burst at Level 22. Salandit from the safari zone also has one of these. Even if we change the field, we can’t do anything else

Attempt to enter the forest, and Nana will stop you. She’ll invite you to her home, so head in. She’ll give you the Mysterious
Emblem. This will also give you access to a PC and bed, which we’ll be using a lot in this section.
Grab something from the PC with Blizzard, and something with either Magnitude, Earthquake, or Bulldoze. The best choice is
training a Castform to 35 for Blizzard, and any Pokémon who’ll learn the Bulldoze T.M.
Then, enter the cave in the middle here and use Blizzard in a battle. After the field has changed, use the ground move, and a path
will open. Enter and surf to battle Lapras!
Head back to a PC and grab something with our burning fire move. Enter the north cave.
Use the fire move in battle, then surf across. Exit the southeast ladder to get:
ZCell 029: Evergreen Island
Enter again and take the ladder down. We can’t yet do the strength puzzle portion, but we can explore. Beat the trainers then grab
the X Special. Hop into the hole all the way at the bottom. Grab the DeepSeaScale then head through the hole. We can’t do anything
in this area yet, but we will come back. Head back up the ladder twice. Do this one more time in the leftmost hole to get
DeepSeaTooth. In this path you’ll find the Icy Rock. That’s all we can do for now without strength, so head back out of the cave.
Finally, enter the forest.

There are lots of Snowballs on the ground we can pick up. Head up and to the right for a Dusk Ball on the mountain. In the main

on.
Head back down and go all the way up to the spring and grab the Max Repel. Whether you got Anju’s Pendant or not, the Mysterious
Emblem will allow you to enter the spring of preservation at the top.
Take the boat to Terajuma, then surf up in this spot to return to where we got Valarie’s badge, and get Poliwag #4. Head up to Valor
Shore and surf up for Poliwag #5.
Head up and talk to Dragonite! He’s lost all his letters again. The first is on the island immediately to the right. The second is on an
island around a loop dead south of Dragonite. The third is dead east of the second. Finally, the fourth is on Route 5 in the grass on
the left. Talk to Dragonite again to get a Shiny Stone.
That’s all we can do for this massive load of quests, so head back to Crawli’s gym.
Talk to Aelita at the top, then head in. Flying around in here are wild Yanma, which you can catch. It can be useful for this fight if you
want to go train it up due to its strong AncientPower and Air Slash. Anyways, pass Crawli and head into the cave at the top. Head left
and then follow this path down to get:
Once you’ve triumphed, claim the Infested Badge for up to level 50.

Surf down at where the fisherman is. You’ll see some items to the south, but we’ll need some Blast Powder to get back there.
Anyways, surf west and enter this cave. After the scene, enter this door.
Grab the Water Gem on the beach and go up. Surf across to talk to Saki, and you’ll have to battle 6 Sharpedo.
Surf to the left to find:

Enter the hot springs to the north. This is where you can use the PC and heal in this area, like in FRLG.
Head back out and head towards the villa all the way in the southeast. Outside, then inside this building, you’ll find:
ZCell 033: Teila Resort
ZCell 034: Teila Resort
Head around the house to the left of this one to find an Elixir. The guy inside this house will offer to trade your extra Oranguru for a
Passimian!
Head around to the house in the southwest, and behind it you’ll find a Rare Candy. In the area near the house above this you’ll find a
Hyper Potion.
We can’t surf in Teila Resort, but there are some shops towards the center.
Head into the building with the gym sign at the top. Talk to Tesla and Melia for a while, then talk to the guy in the bottom left corner
with a fighting type in your team to get a Muscle Band! then head into the upper left room to find:
ZCell 035: Teila Resort
If you talk to the girl in the left side near Tesla, she’ll offer your Pokémon massage packages. The cheapest is $1,500, the next is
$3,500, and the last is $6,500, which comes with 3 Fresh Waters and 3 Revives! Each sequentially increases your Pokémon’s
happiness, though if you want to get it up quickly, I still recommend the friendship berries at the Lost Camp.
Aquamarine Cave 2nd Visit - AqCave2
Next, we must go find Amber, Tesla’s kid. Re-enter Aquamarine Cave and head back down to the bottom level. Head up once you
reach the large room, climbing some stairs to do so. Talk to the sleeping girl here. She’ll request we go get back a CD that Venam
stole from her so… we’re heading to Kakori Village.
Now that we’ve visited the resort, all the warp panels in the Ranger Center’s we’ve visited so far are functional, making it easier than
ever to travel around Terajuma! Enter the Teila Ranger station and take the warp panel to HQ, then visit Venam in the speaker
room. Talk to her, then head back to sleeping Amber in Aquamarine Cave.
After the cutscene, jump down the hole. After another scene, we’ll get control.
Encounters are the same here as the rest of the cave, but there are a few hidden items. We’ll be back with Rock Climb later, so head
to the west to get back to the basement floor. Interact with the slimy rock slide thing here to head back to where we’ve been. Make
your way back to Teila Resort!
After a lovely cutscene, it’s time for a double battle. Head upstairs and in the door. Melia will be our partner.
After the battle and the following conversation, head up in the hot spring. Then talk to Tesla in her kitchen.
She’ll offer you food - choose whichever you like. If you want something sweet, you’ll get a Strawberry Cake! If you want something
relaxing, you’ll get a Rose Tea! If you want something rejuvenating, you’ll get an Herbal Tea! If you want something sour, you’ll get a
Razz Berry Tart! Afterwards, after a heartwarming scene, Tesla will give you her Yacht Keys.
…. And that’s about it for wholesome. After Amber interrupts, you’ll be taken into the hallway. Follow her into her room and talk to
her, saying “Are you okay?” and “I’m here to help” for maximum relationship points. Then, attempt to exit to the southeast. Team
Xen invades again!
Battle your way through the grunts. The first grunt has a Shadow Mankey, and the second has a Shadow Teddiursa.
Make sure you heal before heading outside. You’ll be thrown into a double battle.

Strangely, I recommend taking out Madelis first. Her Pokémon go down easily to anything physical (Rock Slide, MVP as always) and
Cradily isn’t much of a threat. Sharpedo can be really annoying with super boosted Surf’s if you let it get off Speed Boosts. The
grunt’s Heliolisk can be particularly annoying with both of its field boosted moves and since Ground moves do nothing here, but you
should be alright with a bit of planning and spread moves.
To progress the story, head downstairs and into the living room on the right. Talk to Melia, and we have a new destination to
continue to in a bit. Though, there are just a few things we can do right about now that we should take care of, including our first
non-Phione legendary Pokémon! Skip to the next section after this one if you want to progress the story.
Return to Augustus, and from there, to Gearen City. The Poke Ball store has added wares, yet again.
If you want to buy Friend Balls go ahead, they’re not too useful though. The AP store also has a new item - one that will help you
grind immensely!
Take the bus to Goldenleaf. Enter Wispy Tower and talk to Sariah. She’ll give us 3 Ethers and start us on a quest. Return to
Goldenleaf and surf south at Route 3 to return to River’s End.
Attempt to enter the house here for a cutscene. After talking to Matthew Vasile, enter the train to the left. He wants us to do a quest
for him in the Wispy Tower ruins. He’ll also give you the Lab Key. Head to Wispy Tower to enter the lab. Head down the stairs and
make your way to the upper left room. Surf north and use the key.
Talk to this tablet and you’ll be engaged with a puzzle. Here is the solution:
Enter the pathway to the north, and you’ll be taken back to Matthew’s lab. He needs us to retrieve a Magnet, a Poke Ball, and an Up-
Grade. We’ve already found two - Poke Balls can be obtained in stores, and Up-Grade was in one of the rooms in Crawli’s HQ.
To get a Magnet, we need to steal one off a Nosepass, which is unfortunately easier said than done. Put a Pokémon with
Compoundeyes at the front of the party, then either use Thief/Covet on the 2% encounter Nosepass in Carotos Mountain or enter
Jeminra Woods and catch as many as you can.
If you don’t want to grind one from a Nosepass, we’ll be able to get one guaranteed just before the ninth gym.
Get the items in your bag, and return. The Pokémon inside will run off. Buy some balls and return to the room in the Wispy Tower
lab with the second symbol. Save and enter the grass patch to the northwest and you’ll get to battle Type: Null!
Exit, and add Null to your party. We’re also going to want to evolve it soon, so I recommend stocking up on friendship berries from
Lost Camp. Head back to River’s End and talk to Matthew at his house. Evolve it into Silvally and head back to the Forsaken
Laboratory, to the room where you caught it. He’ll give us the Poison Memory! We’ll be finding the rest as we continue in the game.
That’s all there is for this quest - so head back and board the boat bound for Kristiline Town.
Enter the Poke Ball shop in the southeast. After a scene and another bizarre lesson with Jenner, head up towards the Isle of Angels.
Cross the ice and enter the Church of Theolia. Tell them Venam IS scared for a relationship point with Melia, and that she ISN’T for
one with Venam.
Head up and heal and use the PC if you need. Head upstairs into the Tower of Theolia!

Grab TM78 Frost Breath on your way up 2F. Head up, battling the maid, and seeing the scene on the stage. Head up into this next
room.
After an outside portion, you’ll meet Kreiss. It’s your choice whether to free him. If you do, you’ll be rewarded with TM101 Rock
Climb! Head out to the top after this and follow doors through to the next cutscene. Fight the two maids.
Now, there’s a little bit of bonus story content we can get at this point. Backtrack a few rooms, and curtains will be moved so that
we can access a new path. Head up to see the scene.
Return to where we were and enter the door. Continue through the path and through the doors. After the cutscene at Teila, talk to
Cera for some advice, and heal. At the battlefield, head left to grab a Hyper Potion and the top right for a Max Revive.
You can exit if need be but go ahead and prepare for the battle ahead!
The scene at this point splits a lot and depends on whether you saved Kreiss. If you did, it’s straightforward - he’ll freeze Angie, and
you can exit into a melted Kristiline Town. Here, Kreiss will give you the Glacier Badge!
If you didn’t save him, head into 5F, and you’ll be taken onto the long staircase. Head all the way down, and Valarie will save the day.
Here you’ll get the Glacier Badge, and Kreiss will now give you TM101 Rock Climb.
The Glacier Badge lets us Rock Climb and gives up to Level 55 Pokémon.
Regardless of your choice, you’ll be given a choice to fast travel back to Teila. We’re gonna do some stuff here in Kristiline, so I
recommend not accepting the offer.

Cross the bridge to the south part of Kristiline. Talk to the guy in here, and we can continue the virtual badge quest.
Head into the help center - it’s time for some Help Center Quests!
Kristiline Help Center Requests - KristH1
We’ll be exploring some new areas with Rock Climb throughout these quests, so I recommend reading to at least check what new
areas you can explore. If you haven’t yet gotten it, the Golden Claws from the AP center are useful here!
Enter Xen Lab again and take the teleporter here to get to the back room. Enter the cave. Surf to the right to find a hidden Link
Heart. Then, head back to use Rock Climb. Enter the cave up here to get TM81 X-Scissor! There’s also an Up-Grade in the bookshelf.
Leave the swamp and return to Gearen Help Center. Now that we’ve found 35 Zygarde cells, Mei and Ayuda will give us the Soothe
Bell! This can cut down on the number of friendships berries we need to use from now on. Our next target is 45.
Enter the Magnolia library and talk to Zumi again. Now that we have Mareep, we will be given an Aevian Mareep as well at 6 Exp.
Candy M. Our next quest is for Toxel.
Head into the Gearen Lab and go to Jenner’s lab. Head to the left and talk to Professor Hawthorne. He wants a Dex that has seen 350
Pokémon - this is an easy goal if you haven’t been avoiding all the trainers and optional battles. Grab either the Elekid egg or the
Magby egg and read Jenner’s journal if you want.
Talk to him again, and he’ll request a dex with 550 seen. I had at this point 630+, so it is attainable. He’ll offer you the other pick of
the Johto baby eggs.
Remember that impossible fight in the Aqua Building? Well, I was able to beat it at this point, so why not give it a shot. Not essential
to get done now, but if you can, why not.
I recommend taking another trip to the AP shop. If you haven’t gotten the Exp. All or the Golden Axe, Hammer, Surfboard, and
Claws, do so ASAP. On deck will be the Golden Driftboard and the Golden Gauntlet.
Head to Route 2 and enter Amethyst Cave. Start by going to the room up from the first, where there is water and where we got a
cell and activated a panel once upon a time. Head down from the panel and rock climb to get TM01 Work Up.
Next, enter the room to the right of this one, and rock climb down next to the waterfall. Talk to April, then activate Panel 3 to the
right. Head down from here and talk to April again.
Dugtrio 9 Barboach 20
Carbink 2 Octillery 20
Talk to the ex-Xen Grunt in the open area. Head down the ladder here and activate Panel 6 on the right.
Head down and rock climb down from here. We’re gonna need to smash the crystals in this new area somehow: the wild Geodude
have Magnitude and can do it, alternatively, if you have the Bulldoze T.M. then you can use that. Once you succeed, head down to
the bottom of this area and interact with this crystal for a chance to catch Aevian Lapras!
With all six panels activated, head back to the Xen grunt and activate the machine. The Xen guy will head up, so follow him. Grab the
Rift Notes and prepare yourself.
Talk to the Grunt and save in front of the statue. Talk to the grunt again, and you’ll have to fight:
Lingering Regret Nancy (Crystal Cave Field)
● Whimsicott, Level 51. @ Mountain Field.

○ Calm Mind
● Sylveon, Level 55. @ Leftovers.

○ Hyper Voice
This is an easy team to beat if you were able to beat Angie! It doesn’t really have a ton of good answers for a solid Steel / Poison
move core.
Exit at the top and talk to Manny. He’ll give you a Shiny Stone.
Return to the room with the panel in which we fought Registeel - the one on the right side. Grab the Moon Dial that is now here.
Return to the basement level to talk to April. She’ll give us the Phase Dial! Head in and go up. You’ll have to fight a fusion of Solrock
and Lunatone, with three shields! It’s easy with a good super effective move, though. Now you can use the Phase Dial to fuse your
own Solrock and Lunatone.
Exit to Sheridan Village, and enter Route 3. Head back to the Poliwag area of Phasial Cave. Now that we’ve found all six, we can
catch Poliwag!
Head back out and into Goldenleaf Town. Enter Narcissa’s Gym and talk to the guy at the front. Make your way all the way back
through Backstage Theatre and enter the mirror.
Enter this door at the top, then interact with the painting up here. Follow Mew out of the room, through the mirror to get the Odd
Key, and to the Lost Castle.
Here, we’re going to want to read all the books and keep track of all the numbers. Head up the stairs and talk to Dusclops, and enter
the following: 0044, 6677, 3645, 9043, 7171. Enter the next room and get ready for a series of battles. It’s a gauntlet of 3, but nearly
everything that is used is ghost, psychic, and/or dark type, so you should be able to take them out with ease with the right coverage.
Keep following the rooms to shatter the crystal ball.
Return to town and enter the eastern house. Talk to the guy and send him to Kristiline Town. Then, enter Wispy Ruins through the
Wispy Tower area entrance. Climb the rocks and head down the ivy into Wispy Chasm.

In the chasm room, head towards the middle then go down to get a Rare Candy and TM65 Shadow Claw. Surf across up above to get
to the 3-badge gate. Open the chest to get a Shiny Stone.
Head back up the ivy, enter the room on the right, and go back down. Grab the Poke Doll when you go down. Surf to the south to get
to the 7-badge gate. Open the chest to get an Odd Keystone.
Exit the ruins and make your way back to Akuwa Town. Enter Evergreen Forest and climb the rocks to get an Icy Rock.
Donate the last $7,500 to Maman. After a scene, head back outside.
That’s all there is to do for now, so make your way back to Teila Resort.
Carotos Mountain 2nd Visit - Carotos2
Head into Amber’s room and talk to the crew. We must go to the Sapphire Museum in Kristiline Town. If you retrieved the painter,
now you can choose a sculpture and get paid $10,000.
Head upstairs and read about Regice. Tell Aelita you are proud of her for relationship points and get ready for a battle.
Well, head back to Gearen and take the truck to Sheridan. Head up to Sheridan Arena and head up to the house formerly belonging
to Keta.
Talk to Texen in the lower room, then choose your team of three in the upper room for a battle.
Win and head into Carotos Mountain. Talk to Aelita at the HQ, then head down right to the elevator. Head over to fight SEC for the
last time and catch his Shadow Slakoth.

Follow the path down and to the left. Talk to the maids, and defeat Deborah.
After this scene, follow Aelita into the room to the left, then climb the vines to enter the room to the right. Observe the position of
the blocks.
Set the blocks in the left room into this position, then enter the door. Enter the newly revealed room and enter
Ancient Kingdra (Blessed Field)
● Kingdra, Level 55. @ Demon Stone.
○ Origin Pulse
Luckily, not too bad. If you beat the one in the ancient forest you can do this one.
Enter this next room. Across this bridge is the alignment we need to set these blocks into. I moved Chimecho into place first, then
Pangoro, Apple, Budew, Zorua.
Head east and battle Esther, then take out another Kingdra. Enter the door to the right. Head down the stairs, then out the bottom.
Follow the path to get TM86 Grass Knot. Then, head back up and take note of each of statue placement - we’re going to need to
move each into that spot upstairs yet again. This one can be tough but a few pointers - the bottom of the pillars ARE passable, only
move things up and down the middle staircase, and my recommended “order” to put stuff in their final position was Omanyte ->
Pangoro -> Zorua -> Starly -> Chingling -> Apple -> Darkrai.
The next room is the hardest to memorize, so I’ll write all the positions down here in shorthand: Lopunny -> Omanyte -> Apple top
to left on arc. Across from apple is Darkrai and Slugma in center. Left Shinx, right Starly. Down-left east sea, down-right west sea
Shellos. A note: don’t take anything down the right hallway east of Slugma’s spot. This time, I fit Omanyte -> Apple -> Lopunny ->
Slugma -> West Sea Shellos -> East Sea Shellos -> Darkrai -> Starly -> Shinx. Once you win, there’s a new hole at the top. Enter it.
Touch this Zorua statue for a battle to catch Zorua!

We’ll end up back in Sheridan. Head down the waterfalls and talk to Aelita and Eldest to progress. Say “But why” for relationship
points with Aelita. Accept the fast travel and enter the left room. Then, instead of going into the right room, surf across to the right,
and go all the way down the vines and out. Itemfinder around here to get a Moon Stone! Head into the upper right room. After the
scene, head down to the door again, and it will open. Head up to the battlefield.

You’ll then get the Magma Stone but be presented with a choice. As always, it is up to you what to choose: the story will split here. I
like to keep it because you get earlier access to the technical machine store; it also gets you karma. After a cutscene, Eldest will task
you with chasing Tommen. Head out of the Garufa ruins, then back in and talk to her again.
Buy these if you’d like! Note that we get Psycho Cut for free later, so might want to avoid spending the fat stack of cash for that one.
Regardless of your magma stone choice, head back to Tesla’s Villa. Head upstairs and talk to Valarie and Venam.
If you didn’t keep the magma stone, your next destination is Crawli’s Gym. Make your way to the depths, and after a conversation,
enter the door. Talk to Venam and head down the ladder. Then, head up the ladder to 1F and head down. You’ll get the Emotion
Powder.
If you did keep the magma stone, head to Valor Shore, and drift across the lava and enter. Get the Emotion Powder as you walk in.

We’re gonna save Amber now. You don’t have to, but if you choose not to characters will hate you and you will not get the karma.
With the ice mood, head down the left ladder from where you entered.
After winning, Madelis will give you the HQ Railnet Key. Head back upstairs to 1F. Enter the stairs on the left.
Turn this area to the fiery zone. Back on 1F, enter the door at the top of this area and enter the base. After getting insulted, head
upstairs, free Reina, then open the gate. Back downstairs you’ll get teased again. Try to leave.
After… something… Saki gives you a Revive if you kept the Magma Stone, but if not, you’ll get TM110 Magma Drift! Head back down
and click the lever to free Reina. Head up to activate the Neutral Source Crystal. Grab the Hyper Potion above. Head back down, and
you’ll find:
At the top of this room, activate the fire crystal. Before proceeding, head down and drift across to find Vulpix! By clicking each
crystal in succession, make your way to the top of the room. Back at the top of the room, fall down the hole to the left. You’ll find:
ZCell 045: Valor Mountain (Ice)
Head up to fight:
Team Xen Eli and Sharon (Mountain Field)
● Honchkrow, Level 53. @ Sharp Beak.
○ Brave Bird
○ Swagger
○ Foul Play
○ Thunderwave
● Mismagius, Level 53. @ Life Orb.

● Lickilicky, Level 51. @ Rocky Helmet.
○ Earthquake
○ Rock Slide
○ Body Slam
○ Knock Off
Time for another fight with Eli and Sharon. This is a 12v6 with the help of Venam, so it really shouldn’t be that much of a problem.
Make sure Gyarados doesn’t set up!
Head up and into the next room. Grab TM134 Rock Blast. Say “We can do this together!” for relationship points.
Activate the fire crystal here, then return to 4F through the cliffside. On the right side, you’ll find:
ZCell 047: Valor Mountain (Fire)
Head down and go to the left. Jump in the hole twice.
ZCell 048: Valor Mountain (Fire)
Also, talk to Heatmor with a GourmetTreat for a chance to catch it. Next, head up at the top of this room to reenter the blockade.
Upstairs the rightmost door will be open now, head outside and feed Tepig a bunch of GourmetTreats for a chance to battle it.
Head back to the top and do the same, this time, falling down the holes while the mountain is neutral. Grab the Leaf Stone at the
bottom!
Head all the way back up to the top and enter the summit.
Heal, and follow the action to the top. Time for a 11v11 double battle with Melia.
Team Xen Geara and Zetta (Volcano Top Field)

○ Brick Break
○ Dragon Claw
○ Rock Slide
○ Thunder Punch
● Silvally, Level 55. @ Ground Memory.
○ Multi-Attack
○ Rock Slide
○ Heat Wave
○ Thunder
This battle is insane, but at least a fitting final Xen boss to Act 1 of Pokémon Rejuvenation! Zetta’s Typhlosion is intense, as it’s fast
and its Eruption is strong. Grimmsnarl also gets basically at least 1 free screen unless you have Brick Break to remove it, so that is
also tough to deal with. Their aces, Gengar and Silvally respectively, are also insanely fast and can kill most of your Pokémon. Worst
of all about half of Melia’s team kind of sucks and isn’t really that helpful in this fight!
The Volcano Top field can be used to your advantage: consider using your own Fire moves to take advantage of it. You can also
transition to Sky Field with Bounce or to Volcanic Field with Dig, both of which you may be able to get a better footing in. Regardless
of the field effect, the key is making sure that you have the right pairings at any given time, so Melia’s Pokémon don’t get one-
shotted. Unfortunately, this means a LOT of trial and error with the AI, but eventually you’ll be able to find the exact chinks in Zetta
and Geara’s armor and can take them out.
Afterwards, return to the top of the mountain, collecting the souls as you go. You’ll be thrust into a battle with Geara and Zetta
again, but all their Pokémon are at 1HP and you are supposed to easily win.
(Note that there was once another Valor Cell, on the summit, it may be readded at some point)
Talk to Crescent.
Now, the next destination is the gym battle. If you want to skip ahead then do so, but we can pick up a few Pokémon and items.
Head to Ranger HQ in Kakori. Talk to Crawli at the entrance for ZCrystal Buginium-Z. We can’t use it yet, though.
The people of Akuwa Town have… FINALLY been returned to their home, so head to Akuwa Town.
The girl in the top right running in place can teach you some moves:
Akuwa Town Outdoor Move Tutor
Grass Pledge 3 Green Shards
Fire Pledge 3 Red Shards
Water Pledge 3 Blue Shards
Enter the ACDMC in the upper right. At the top left corner, you can trade in 10 of each color shard for the Sail Fossil, Jaw Fossil, Skull
Fossil, and Armor Fossil. At the top right counter, you can revive any fossils you’ve obtained so far. So, that means you can now get:
Omanyte, Kabuto, Anorith, Lileep, Shieldon, Cranidos, Amaura, and Tyrunt.
In the house on the left side of house there are two more Move Tutors.
In the left house, someone will give you an Elemental Seed, the other a Cleanse Tag. In Larry Locksmith’s house to the south, a guy
will give you a Nugget! Enter the Pokemart to see a scene with Karrina. She’ll then give you a Repel.
If you’re feeling sick and tired of Great Balls, now you finally have a chance to go PLUS ULTRA. Anyways, enter the house to the right
to get 5 Quick Balls.
Now that we have Madelis’ key, take the boat over to Secret Shore. Head to the southwestern most island, and rock climb. Here
begins a quest for two Hoenn Pokémon. Start by looking for Mudkip, at the following locations:
We also now have Magma Drift, so there are a few places we can go. Head to Sheridan and clear one spot from your party. Enter
Carotos. Rock Smash the rock to the left and drift to the left. Grab TM36 Sludge Bomb! Head back to the right and drift across here.
Clear this maze and grab the Rare Candy as well as the Cyndaquil egg. Enter the next room and make your way to Madelis’ palace.
Head down to the corrupted cave area. Magma Drift here and follow the path to a Poison Barb. Continue following this path and
you’ll find another spot to Magma Drift on the right: follow the path to catch Aevian Paras!
This is all we can do for now, so when you’re ready, head back to Teila Resort and enter the dance hall.
Lyric Badge - Badge08
Concert Hall Left Shop
Hyper Potion $1,200
Super Potion $700
Burn Heal $250
GourmetTreat $2,000
Talk to Reina in here to get a Dusk Stone and Exp. Candy M. Talk to the girl at the top. She’ll tell us about building hype. Do whatever
you have to do to build the hype - talk to people, battle trainers, change the song with the guy on the right.
After building some hype, an Audino trainer will appear. She uses level 55’s, so you should be able to grind your team up if need be.
You’ll get 7 Exp. Candy M when you win.
Win to get the Lyric Badge, which lets us hit Level 60, and TM50 Overheat! Head outside and watch the cutscene.

You can use this crystal to head back to the present anytime you want.
After they run off, we can explore Kugearen City! The teacher in the house to the right will give you a Quick Claw. In the house down
from the stairs, grab a Revive. In the tower south of the gym, talk to the kid on 2F and answer his quiz to get a Leaf Stone.

back at any time. Talk to Melia in the upper right corner, tell her she is “Beautiful!” or “Stylish!” for relationship points. Then sit in
the open chair around the table downstairs to play through the scene. Then, talk to Irvin and the gang in the lab.
Head to Kugearen City afterwards. Enter the cafe in the bottom. Tell Venam “It was excellent!” or “Awful” for relationship points.
You’ll have to choose a Pokémon to battle Kanon, but you don’t need to win this one. Well, head out, and talk to Venam in the
square. Head east.
Dustox 4
Ursaring 1
Head into a forest a bit and you’ll have to fend off a wild Shiftry. Down and to the right from here is 4 Rawst Berries. Head up into
Marble Garden and tell Venam you’ll have her back if you want a relationship point. Enter the house and after a scene, you’ll be free
to explore.
Exit to the woods. Tell Venam “let’s do this” for relationship points. Head back to the city and enter the house in the middle of the
bottom of town. Head up.
Enter Blakeory Co. in the southwest. After the meeting, enter the forest again. Head south to follow the policeman.
Go to the northeast for a Rare Candy and a Leppa Berry. On your way to the south, you’ll get 2 Cheri Berries, Revive, 2 Oran Berries,
and 2 Aspear Berries at the very top. Eavesdrop on the conversation: you’ll have to fight Gardevoir!
This fight has three shields, but luckily Gardevoir is slow enough that it won’t be hard to take it out.
When you awaken, say “Taking too long to find me?” for relationship points, and grab the shiny Apartment Key.
This isn’t strictly necessary but helps us save some Pokémon later. Head back to Kugearen and use the key on the door in the top left
of the area. Head down and read the book on the table. After that, head to the right and read this book to get the Weird Diary.
Talk to Venam by Katsu’s house, then return to the mansion. Beat the first maid, then beat the second sitting on the bench. Next to
her you can get a hidden Silk Scarf! Interact with the statues in the four rooms up and down from the garden: top left facing right,
top right facing down, bottom right facing left, bottom left facing up. Head upstairs and enter the newly opened door. Grab the
Indeedee here!
Head down and follow the prompts. Choose whether to save the Officer, or to save Maria. Saving Maria gets us relationship points
with the ghost of Anathea but saving the policeman works. Either head down to untie the officer, or up to save Maria.
If you chose the officer, you could choose to refuse all Gardevoir’s requests or not. Refusing them will save the officer.
Anyways, after the scene, head outside into the forest, and then to Kugearen City. Pick North or West, but watch the scene play out.
Then pick Blakeory Co. Beat the maid, then talk to Melia to get some sleep. After a bunch of scenes, it’s time for a quick battle!
Enter the new grove to return to the past for now. We can use this crystal to go back to the past whenever we want.
After a lot of talking, head down and follow the path. After more talking, head out to the left then try to enter the gate at the
bottom. Enter the room above and to the left and talk to the machine.
Head down and go through the path. Pick up TM84 Poison Jab. Change the water level down from here, then head up and grab the
PP Up. Enter the door and say “We’re here to help” for relationship points with Erick. Grab TM129 Fake Tears.

babies back. Return to each person with the 5 Pokémon to get the Electrizer and Magmarizer.

There’s a woman selling Blast Powder for $25,000. It will help us grab some neat items and do a side quest, so I recommend it. It
becomes unavailable after the tenth badge, so get it now if you can despite the high price tag.
Enter Gearen News HQ. In the bottom left you’ll find a Hyper Potion. Also, there’s a Level 60 Audino trainer here if you need, win to
get 5 Exp. Candy L, each time you win. Very handy for grinding! Grab the Wide Lens in the upper right.
Enter the door to the right of the one with the red door. A guy will trade you Protective Pads for three Absorb Bulbs.
Enter the red door with the sign to the left and up.
Take the truck guy to Akuwa Town to revive Aerodactyl, Archen, and Tirtouga!
Head outside and enter the Junction Bridge from the left.
ZCell 054: Junction Bridge
Speaking of Zygarde Cells, exit Junction Bridge to the right and go talk to Ayuda, who’ll give us the Macho Brace for finding at least
45. Our next mission is for 70.
The six cards are now available, each of which lets you into the basement of the Gearen lab to do rapid EV training. Personally, I find
these less helpful than the Golden Items since we can EV train elsewhere (albeit more slowly), so I would recommend saving the AP
to get all of these (except the Golden Jetpack, which does nothing in this release) first. Note that when you do get access to each EV
room, you’ll get all each of the six Power Items!
Next, return to the Magnolia Library and show Zumi your Pokedex with Toxel inside. She’ll give us 15 Exp. Candy M, as well as tell
you a hint about one way to evolve it. Speaking of Toxel, take the time to evolve your Toxel into Toxtricity at level 30. Head back to
Route 2 and show it to the painter to get a Magnet as well as TM96 Nature Power. Use this Magnet in the River’s End quest if you
haven’t done so yet.

● Grab the Carbos on the right side and the Rare Candy below the ledge. Grab the Hyper Potion up above. Return to the house,
then head back through the forest to the cave at the north side.
● Solve the tile puzzle. It’s the same Kabuto one as in HGSS.
● Head back to the two-person door. Push the lever and enter. Pick left to get MegaStone: Banettite and right to get
MegaStone: Heracronite. Again, we can’t yet use these, but good to have.
● Return to grab $4,000 and, after all the quests, a Turtwig egg!
Now, head to the Wispy Ruins via Wispy Tower area entrance. Take the right vines down and enter the 8-badge gate to the right.
Take the Elemental Seed in the chest.
Essentially, now that we’ve beaten Amber, all four of the dens we’ve seen so far have been updated with new Pokémon! So, I will list
the Pokémon in each here.
RIFT DEN 1 (8 - 12 Badges): The common encounters in this den are Graveler, Nuzleaf, Duosion, Solosis, Tropius, Sigilyph, and
Dhelmise. The rare ones are Relicanth, Persian, Lumineon, Bonsly.
RIFT DEN 2 (8 - 12 Badges): The common encounters in this den are Unfezant, Wailmer, Dunsparce, Vullaby, Masquerain, Quagsire.
The rare ones are Chatot, Snorunt, Glalie, Cacnea, Cacturne, Claydol.
RIFT DEN 3 (8 - 12 Badges): The common encounters in this den are Stoutland, Crabrawler, Pachirisu, Chimecho, Stunfisk, Abra. The
rare ones are Rhydon, Vanilluxe, Vanillish, Purugly, Ditto, Teddiursa.
RIFT DEN 4 (8 - 12 Badges): The common encounters in this den are Lombre, Gastrodon, Seismitoad. The rare ones are Mantyke,
Mantine, Jellicent.
Now that we have Ditto, head over to Sheridan Village, and use it to breed the Throh we got earlier. In the daycare, talk to the girl
and trade your spare to her to get Sawk!
That’s all we can do right now. Head back to Erick’s gym and head up to challenge him.
Win to get the Pulse Badge, up to level 65 Pokémon, and TM72 Volt Switch.
Chapter 10: Stopped in Our Tracks
If you fly to Theolia and enter the church, the rift will be gone, meaning you can grab:
ZCell 055: Church of Theolia
We won’t be able to come back for a little while, so I recommend you farm as much AP as you can and head to the AP Shop. We
won’t be able to return here until we get the HM’s Strength and Fly. So, aside from the ones we already have, it might be wise to
pick up the Golden Gauntlet for Strength. The instant we get Fly is when we can return here, so get the Golden Wings if you’d like,
but it’s not super crucial. We’ll deal with the rest of it later!
We also can use that Blast Powder we got a while ago now. Head into Aquamarine Cave and head down to the big basement. Blow
up the mine rock blocking the path south to get a Water Stone. In the rock nearby there’s a Rare Candy. Down in the corner, grab
the Aquamarine Ore! Head back to Kristiline Town and enter the south west most house. Give it to the guy for a Prism Scale!
If you have friends (high relationship points with Venam and Melia), enjoy your Soda Pop, and say “thank you!” if prompted for even
more relationship points. If you don’t, say “what about me and Kanon?” for relationship points with him.
Head into the dining car, where the Pokemart is. Talk to Venam, and “April,” now Krystal. Then, head out and back to your room.
Sleep for the night.
Head all the way left and talk to Krystal. Head two cars right and you’ll be able to exit onto Route 7.
Route 7 - 7Route1
Been a while since we walked onto a new route!
To the left is the level 65 Audino trainer. Each time you win, you’ll get 5 Exp. Candy L.

Also, you can fight stationary Stantler (Night) and Sawsbuck (Day) here. Enter the house barred by the cut tree at the top to meet
the PC manager.
Head one screen up. Cut trees to get TM107 Slash and Burn.
ZCell 056: Route 7
Head up and around to the left to see the scene at the bridge. Next, head a bit south to enter Yui’s Ranch. Grab the Brightpowder
hiding behind the tree by the barn door. Enter the room to the left. Talk to Miltank. If you feed it eight Sitrus Berries, it will battle
you. Exit the barn to the right.
ZCell 057: Yui’s Ranch
Head to the back of the ranch and enter the house. If you’ve finished Kristiline’s help quests, head upstairs and talk to the guy here,
and agree to help. At night, head into the barn on the upper right corner of the ranch. Talk to Ben, then head outside. You need to
CATCH each Inkay, but it should be easy enough.
That’s all we can do up here. Head west into the Honec Woods.

Explore this area. There are also a lot of hidden items about. In the southwest corner you can get 3 Starf Berries. Head into the map
at the very top when you’re ready.
Head across the bridge at the top. Watch the scene play out here. You can also access the honey tree at the top, but it only works
once a day.
Head back to Yui’s Ranch. You’ll get 3 Cherish Balls! Now, the shop inside is in business:
Yui’s Ranch Store (Not open at night)
Ultra Ball $1,200
Hyper Potion $1,200
GourmetTreat $1,500
Super Repel $500
Max Repel $700

Moomoo Milk $500
Next, head south and west to enter a new map of Route 7. Pick the 3 Persim Berries here.
ZCell 058: Route 7
Enter the house here.
Route 7 Shop
Honey $100
Super Repel $500
Then, head down a map. There are wild Dodrio here during the day. Head east and talk to the group at the train.
Head south and enter Oblitus Town. Use your Itemfinder to find a Link Heart in town.
Enter the easternmost house, then enter the Darchlight Woods to the west.
Shiinotic 4 Shiftry 4
Hatenna 2 Hatenna 2
There are also wild Parasect and Impidimp wandering around the woods.
We can enter Darchlight Caves by heading down immediately, and hopping down the pillars, but there is nothing of note in here yet.
While you’re in this main area, talk to any of the people here 30 times. This is necessary for a side quest in a bit.
Take the top exit north. Head up for a little scene with a girl.
ZCell 059: Darchlight Woods
Next, head through the west door in the entrance map to access Sensu Meadow.

As in the other meadows, you can find infinite Purple Nectar here. We can’t explore much here yet, but we’ll be back. Head back to
the main map and head all the way to the southwest corner and enter the clearing.
Pay attention during this scene - it will help inform another story section we’ll have to pay attention to later.

will then get stolen!
Head back to the crossroads and head west. Grab all 4 Sitrus Berries and 4 Persim Berries in front of the manor. We’ll enter that in a
bit, but head west onto Route 8.

There’re only a few places we can go without strength, so start by entering the right room on 1F. Read the book and the doll will
disappear. Next, talk to Clefairy twice in the main room, and then enter the room at the very top of 2F. Grab the Max Repel and talk
to it again.
Rock Smash the rock on the side, then follow this path up. Talk to it on the couch, then in the bed in the room to the left. Exit, and
smash the rocks to get to the south side of 3F. Talk to it, then enter the next room on the left and talk to it again. Move the
candelabra up here and enter the fireplace to get TM12 Taunt and a Gate Key.
That’s all we can do here for now, so make your way back to the crossroads.
Darchlight Caves 1st Visit - DCaves1
Head into the top right clearing first. Pick up the Toxic Orb. If you have an Odd Keystone, have talked to people in the forest 30
times, and it is nighttime, talk to the tower to battle Spiritomb.
Anyways, head out and enter the northwest clearing, then speak to Flora and Florin in the top area.

After the conversation, we’ll have control in the caves. Head east and choose which character to go with. Whichever path you’re on,
head down and in. You’ll have another choice to make in each room - this time about whether to expose Flora either to her, or Florin
and Erin. I’m not gonna say what the best path is here since there isn’t exactly one but choose whatever you feel is smartest.
Head outside, and as you’re walking, the cave will change. Head upstairs and watch whatever scene you got based on your choices.
Head down the left ladder and cross the new bridge here. Interact with all the rocks to find a Dusk Stone and the 3rd Card Key Shard.
Go upstairs and go down, then across the bridge and into the cave entrance. Head down and watch the scene. Then follow your
person south and into the cave, then across the bridge.
Basically, we’re going to have to create a Darchlight mirror. Speak to your person and interact with all the reading materials to find a
solution.
Head right and cross the new bridge. Head all the way south and then activate the mirror. Head back left to get a Dark Material as
well as TM115 Mega Punch.
Head back east and cross the new bridge. Head down to get TM145 Hex, then activate the gem here, then head up. From here it’s
linear - activate crystals and move forwards. Climb the elevator to exit and beat the Dugtrio mech.
After you get outside, if you chose Flora, now’s your chance to expose her, or not. Watch the events unfold, then head out of Honec
Woods. Make your way back to the train and talk to Melia.
Then, head back to the main map, and go to the southeast and hop down the logs. Surf up and east here to access Darchlight Cave
again. Grab the Dark Memory.
Head to crossroads and go north. Find Flora/Florin in this area and get ready to battle. Florin battles Doubles and Flora singles.

○ Giga Drain ○ Giga Drain
○ Dragon Pulse ○ Sludge Bomb
○ Grasswhistle ○ Leech Seed
○ Focus Blast ○ Uproot
Each of these battles tries to neutralize Grass’ many weaknesses. Be careful of both of their Ludicolo, who will outspeed you thanks
to the rain. Mega Sceptile hits really hard and fast and can heal itself, while Mega Venusaur tanks two of its weaknesses thanks to
Thick Fat and can wear you down with Giga Drain and Leech Seed. On both teams, Uproot can be threatening if you’re attempting
any kind of defensive strategy, so going for a fast offense somehow might be safer.
There are lots of ways to win! Sunny Day changes the weather and the field to Rainbow, meaning Poison moves and Fire moves are
particularly effective again. Alternatively, you can focus on a potentially Tailwind boosted Flying-type core, since only Ferrothorn,
Rotom, and Cradily take neutral damage from them. One other strategy would be field manipulation via Pyukumuku’s Purify, which
turns the field to Forest and gives Bug moves a boost.
Win to get the Rose Badge, which lets us level to 70, and TM53 Energy Ball!
Head towards Darchlight Manor and talk to Erin. Then, head back to the train to get HM04 Strength! Talk to Melia in the cabin.
Chapter 11: Grand Dream City?

Stoutland 2
Enter the botanical garden to the north. In the southeast corner, you’ll find a Rare Candy, TM11 Sunny Day, and:
ZCell 062: Botanical Garden
Exit the garden and enter the day care. Give the girl in here enough cash and you’ll get a Rare Candy. The day care operates here
and may be easier to access than the Sheridan location for the time being. Head into the elevator here, and head to the 14th floor to
get:
Head outside and approach the south. Pick up the Sachet and Reverse Candy on either side.
Next, exit to the Grand Dream Gate area to the south. Enter the train track gap to the right and head up to get:
ZCell 064: Grand Dream Gate
Also be sure to pick up TM19 Secret Power here. Someone fixed the bridge to the south if we need to return to Route 7.
Back on Main Street, there’s one more event we can do. Talk to the big blue board on the right side of the area and change the
weather to windy. This will allow us to catch Skiploom and Jumpluff here, but also, during the daytime, talk to the girl near the house
with the T.M. on the roof. Then, head to the east Dream District and enter the park. Battle this guy to get TM31 Brick Break. Nice!
Head back to Main Street and head west.
Enter the building in the southeast, where we can buy a few incenses and herbs.
Enter the art gallery in the right side at night. Someone will give you a Green Shard. Talk to the guy in the upper left corner, and he’ll
offer to trade a Smeargle for your Masquerain!
Head back outside. At night, head to the bottom right corner of the map to get TM67 Roost!
That’s all there is in these districts for now, but we’ll be back. Head back to Main Street, but this time, head north.
Switch the weather to rain, then talk to the girl on the left side of the area. Talk to her again if you win for a trade: her Slurpuff for
your Roserade. We already had access to a Whipped Dream and Swirlix, so take this if you’d like.
Enter the central building and talk to Rhodea, then head out. Choose whether you want to participate in the tournament (it doesn’t
matter) and watch the rest of this scene play out.
Head north to the Dream District North. There’s not much to do there yet but attempt to cross the bridge for a conversation with
Isha.
Then, head into the department store here. Talk to the girl here to get a Stamp Card with the first department store stamp. Side
quests give us access to more floors. For now, head upstairs.
Exit and head west. Talk to the little girl here who dropped her Casteliacone. If you want to be mean, pick it up right under her and
give it back. If you want to be nice, change the weather to Hail or Blizzard, then buy one from the vendor and give it to her.
That’s all for this area for now, so head back to the central square. Talk to the driver in the southwest, and he’ll give you the first
SPU Parcel. Head west from here into the residential district.
We’ll get to that in a second, but for now, re-enter the Dream Complex and talk to Rhodea. Head to the top floor and enter the
bottom left room.
Enter Mika’s cafe during the daytime and talk to Patty twice. She’ll give you a Link Heart! Talk to the girl next to her at night to get 10
Dusk Balls if you answer correctly: Kalos. Enter the building to the left and talk to the lobby worker for some Leppa Berries. Head up
to 36th and talk to a guy at night for some Quick Balls. Grab the Max Revive on 13th.
Head back to the truck guy, and he’ll give you the third SPU Parcel.
Head to the park in Dream District East and talk to Lavender. Accept the fast travel if you want, but either way, make your way to
the Dream Complex again. Head into Talon’s Penthouse on the right. Grab the Sharp Beak in the left room, then read the stack of
notes. Talk to Lavender in the living room. Talk to Huey in the middle room, then head out to fight Bladestar in the right room.
Exit, and head all the way to the Magnolia Theatre in the east side of the Shopping District. Say “Are you dating” for maximum
relationship points. After a lot of bizarre scenes, head back to Mika’s Cafe.
If you are in with Flora, your next destination is the botanical gardens. Head into the backroom and talk with her. Click the trees in
the order Blue -> Red -> Magenta -> Purple -> Green, then head down to the lab. Head up and up again and watch the scene here.
If you are not with Flora, you can enter the judicial district now. I will save exploring this area in full until after the next gym badge,
since then players on all routes can explore it.
Enter Cassandra’s office in the upper right. You’ll have a choice about whether to spill the beans to Cassandra or not about what you
found. Again, this is your choice. Head out with Venam when you have a chance.
Now, the story segments should converge from here for a while.
Head to the shopping district and talk to Venam and Madelis here. Choose a color, and Venam will challenge you to a battle!
Soon as that’s done, head into your villa in the Residential District. After seeing what’s in the boxes, head into your room to go to
sleep.
After a bunch of scenes play out, head north and west to the sewer area to talk to Huey. Then, return to the penthouse. After a
strange conversation with Alice and Allen, attempt to go to sleep in your room.
Talk to Alice and Allen in the kitchen again, then to a guy outside the building.
Enter the medicine shop in the bottom right. Buy a Nightmare Medallion for $4,800.
Darchlight Manor Second Visit - DLManor2
Now, we’re gonna do a few things now that we have access to HM Strength. If you already bought the Golden Gauntlets, now they
are finally useful! Skip one section ahead if you want to continue the story.
Head into Darchlight Manor in the woods. Complete the earlier Darchlight Manor section if you have not done so yet.
Use Strength on the rock immediately to the left, then read the Journal inside.
Enter the room up the stairs to the right. After an apparition, make your way to the right side of this room...
ZCell 069: Darchlight Manor
Grab the Old Gateau and read the notebook. Exit the room.
Enter the room on the left side upstairs. Make your way through, grab the Dread Plate and read the notebook.
Head back out, then into the top room. Use strength on the left and make your way left. There is a Spell Tag in the bottom left
corner, invisible. Upstairs, talk to the Clefairy doll, then push this rock into the hole.
Head back downstairs and enter the newly accessible door. Read the notebook and head up.

Talk to Aelita in the first area, then head up for another scene. In this central area, grab the Apophyll Pancakes in the upper right
corner. Head up at the fountain for a fight, as Aelita.
Afterwards, maybe contrary to how we’ve answered so far, say “I don’t know, I’m not a judge” for relationship points.
Grab the Vanilla Ice Cream on the left. Talk to the kid here if you did the ice cream quest to get a Rare Candy if you got them new ice
cream, and a Reverse Candy if you got them the one from the ground.
Head up and into the Nightmare Casino. Zetta will explain the rules and give us 10,000 coins. At the top left, grab TM143 Psycho Cut.
The left vendor will give us a Coin Case if we have neglected to get one yet.
However, you need not deal with buying puppet coins or playing slots if you simply win battles. Talk to Don Carto in the bottom
right: he will sponsor us with 10x the battle rate. So, by betting 10,000 the first battle and 100,000 the second battle we will win over
1,000,000.
That said, the battles are somewhat tough: each of the three randomly chosen trainers has an Ultra Beast and a Legendary Dog. Still,
you should be able to set up against the starting Pokémon and overcome.
Talk to Zetta with at least 1,000,000 Puppet Coins, then head up. Grab the Revive.
There’s an Audino level grinder here if you want to push your levels up to 70. Win to get 6 Exp. Candy L, just once. Then, talk to Zetta
in front of the box for a battle.
Head into the box and go into the upper room. Step on the bottom right and top left switch only to solve the puzzle, then talk to
Aelita for a surprise gym battle!

Time for a little lesson in Trickery. You ultimately are going to be fighting not just their team of 10 but also with the fact that Aelita’s
AI isn’t always doing the best thing. Claydol’s walls are going to be annoying - you must get Aelita to, or use brick break, else there’s
not a very easy way to OHKO even Magenta’s sweeper team very easily. The strategy here I recommend is knocking out Claydol first
then going exclusively for Neon, as if Xatu/Bronzong are out, they’re tame to fight. If you can get to just Neon with Aelita having
Hawlucha/Staraptor alive you’re in good shape but watch out for how ridiculously bulky and strong the Musharna is.
Head into the room on the right to pick up TM29 Psychic behind the post! Oh yeah! Then, head into the box.
When you awaken, talk to the box at the table to get the Trickery Badge! Nice.
Head outside to talk to Aelita and say, “I’ll go with you!” for relationship points. Then head over to the Grand Dream Station. Talk to
her here, and enter the train headed to Route 9.

That’s all we can do in this section of the cave, so head back out and go to the left, where the hiker is, and enter this cavern. At the
top, use rock climb to grab an Ability Capsule. There’s also a Dusk Stone hidden behind the rock smash path at the bottom.
Exit at the top right, then follow the path to the next cave entrance. Follow this path to get TM35 Flamethrower! Nice.
That’s all the exploring we can do for now, so head towards the northwest portion of the route, then approach the Rose Theater.
Use cut on the bamboo on the left side to encounter Komala! Surf across:
Once you regain control, head through either of the two hallways and enter the stage. Talk to Ayuna and agree to help her find her
Kimono Sisters. This starts a quest that we’ll get to in just a bit.
From the east side of Dream District East, we can access the Judicial District. You already came here if you exposed Flora, but here
I’m covering the optional content within.
At night, turn the weather to Thunderstorm via one of the monitors, and catch a Tynamo.
Head into the upper left building and talk to the guy on the top floor. Head back to Dream District West and talk to the museum
owner and the guy near him, then return to the interested buyer. Return to the museum to learn of the painting’s fate! We’ll get the
thief later.
In the Police Station, head down to the lost and found. This area allows you to catch up on limited time items, so grab any you
missed while you’re here. You can also look at the criminals on B2F. You may be wondering what Cleffa did to land itself there, but
trust me on this one, you don’t want to know.
That’s it for now: we’ll start the Kimono Girls’ side quest now.
1) Kimono Girl Beatrice: First: Judicial District Police Department. But she needs us to do something first. Head to Route 9 and go to
the beach and fight the white-haired guy here. Afterwards, return to Beatrice.
Talk to the guy at the desk and give him the final parcel. Head back to the trucker. Talk to him, and he’ll activate an encounter on
Route 9.
2) Kimono Girl Lana: First, Nightmare City (Left side of second map). Save her from Sableye. Then, meet at the Dream District
Northwest area. On your way you’ll be stopped by Damien, answer “Uh… yeah” for a relationship point.
3) Kimono Girl Efi: Grand Dream Gate (east of GDC entrance). She will give you a Pearl.
4) Kimono Girl Midori: Oblitus Town (top, behind the decrepit gym)
5) Kimono Girl Sesilia: Sensu Meadow (right side of the maze area). Answer no to her question.
6) Kimono Girl Eyna: Honec Woods (shrine area to the west of the main area)
7) Kimono Girl Ruka: Route 9 (Where the Flamethrower T.M. was, via Forlorned Cave)
On our way back, enter the cave entrance on Route 9 to the north of where we fought the white-haired guy. If we do, we can get
Dewpider.
Once you’ve found them all, next, head back to the Rose Theater and talk to Ayuna. You’re going to have to fight all 8 Eeveelutions
in a row, at Level 80-82. Set up the best team possible and take them on. Win, and you’ll get Eevee with special moves and an Ice
Stone! Head down to talk to the hiker in the crowd, to get your second Department Store Stamp!

Start to the right. The guy nearby will sell you a Chatot for $15,000. Grab the Ether down from here. The girl to the right is a tutor.
Talk to the high striker machine here. Pay the price, then it will randomly payoff as follows:
2% HM06 Dive
14% Poke Doll. Note that the first time you get it, it will be a Stufful!
22% Refund
62% Nothing
So, grab what you need from here. Talk to the guy on the left and give him a Blue Shard in exchange for a puzzle! Here is the
solution:
Talk to the guy on the left. He’ll offer us a chance at a little game, depending on which bait we buy. Standard bait is $2,000, Delicious
bait is $7,500, and Gourmet bait is $20,000. Here’s a breakdown of what you can get for each:
Once you’re done exploring the area, talk to Erin at the top. Say “You’re on” to Risa Raider for relationship points with the others.
(You don’t get to opt out of this battle)
After exploring a bit, head north through the gate. Enter the Hospital of Hope and enter the door on the left side. After a lengthy
scene, head back out.
Fast travel to the Rose Theater! Enter the Theater and enter the right room upstairs. Say “You’ll be ok” for two relationship points
each with Melia and Kanon or say, “This is stupid.” To lose two relationship points with Kanon but gain two relationship points with
Erin. Activate the crystal - we’re going back in.
Get $5,000 from Katsu in Kugearen, Once in Amberette Town, enter the right house and get the Time Gear Amulet!
Make your way south, east, and east through the woods to get to Sheridan Village.

Grab the Max Repel here and item find as you please, then head west.
Head north to the scene that plays out. Say “You okay” for two relationship points with Melia, and one with Erin, or “Ready for tea?”
to have the points be the other way around. At the top of the village, use your Itemfinder to get a Meadow Plate. Enter Vivian’s
house, and prepare for a battle. You get 3 Pokémon.
Exit, and go to Cella’s house in the upper right, and say “I’m in” to not lose relationship points. After the scene, go to bed in the guest
house. Then, enter Vivian’s house to the left. Follow her up, then attempt to leave. Choose “my friends” and “yes” for maximum
relationship points with Aelita.
Once you get control again, enter the Heracross Woods. Chase this Heracross, then re-enter the village after Aelita’s amulet gets
taken. Talk to Aelita by the berries.
Go upstairs and interact with the cabinet to get the Garufa Spellbook. Head down the stairs after the scene.
Next, you’ll regain control in a jail cell on the Renegade ship. Talk to Granny to get blankets, then to Kenneth, then to the egg.
Head down one level and avoid the shattered glass as you beat grunts. Push the red button. Head up another level and beat the
grunts as you push the blue and yellow buttons in this room. Head up again and go past the dead lasers, then up the stairs. Follow
the path.
Head outside and talk to Melia, answering “We needed a new sail” for relationship points. Enter the captain’s room to speak with
Madame X, then open the door in the room to the right. Downstairs talk to Melia and say “It’s necessary” for relationship points.
Head down to the bottom to talk to them all again. Exit the boat to the south. Follow the path and watch the scenes.
When you are teleported to a room, say “we must press on” for relationship points. Head outside. In the room to the right, there are
encounters!

A bit harder of a fight this time, but still nothing intense. Aevian Lapras can be threatening, as can Lucario if it gets off a Swords
Dance. Otherwise, though you should be able to set something up against Banette or Muk and sweep if you need to.
Up ahead, we’re going through a maze. The order of doors we must go through to complete it is as follows: LUURULDD.
Just don’t say “Where’s the exit” on your way out to keep neutral relationship points.
Say “we make a good team” and “catch it” to Melia when prompted for relationship points.
This is a tough battle. It has two forms – the second comes out as soon as you destroy all three shields. Luckily the first only has 80
base attack, meaning you can take advantage of the beginning of the battle to completely abuse it. Lower its attack by six stages, its
accuracy if you want, whichever defense stat you plan to attack to knock it out, even its speed so much that you can outspeed it
even with its 240-base speed. Due to its typing, Earthquake or Earth Power might be your strongest choices.
Once you emerge victorious, talk to Looker and Anabel on 36F to get the Rift Notes.
● Return to the help center to get $25,000 and the third Department Store Stamp!
● At some point, head back to the room where you fought Ferrothorn, interact with the panel in the back, then enter the right
room. Read the journal and use Itemfinder here to get Dubious Disc!
Head out to the back courtyard of the theater and talk to Souta.
So, with all this in mind, what happens when a game, maybe whose name begins with “P” and ends with “okemon Rejuvenation”,
decides to just… have this weather always on for an entire 6v6 fight? On top of a field effect that already significantly strengthens
Flying types via various ability and move buffs? What happens when this weather does not only remain on the field when a single
Pokémon is out, when the player is faced with dealing with a nearly weakness-less team under all circumstances except bringing out
one of four random Pokémon with Cloud Nine? And what happens when, during the transition to V13, the battle designers decided
to increase the levels of the Pokémon this trainer has? The answers to all these questions, I believe are simple. That is, I, BIGJRA,
writer of this gargantuan guide, suffer. And you probably will too.
You WILL NOT be able to hit any of his Normal/Flying types with super effective moves under most circumstances. His first mon
comes in, a Skarmory that will likely cripple your lead as it has Sturdy and an insane field boosted Sky Attack. It also has an Elemental
Seed, guaranteeing Souta 8 turns of free tailwind. Even if you change the field to mountain / volcanic top, 4 of his Pokémon have
Heavenly Wing to bring it right back. In fact, all six of his team members sport at least one of Heavenly Wing/Hurricane/Sky Attack,
so you will suffer as he wipes out your team members. But, what if you can outspeed? Well… good luck killing anything. The wind
will ruin whatever Rock/Ice/Electric strategies you had in mind, plus Big Pecks activations, Dragonite’s Multiscale, and the fact that
Pidgeot and Unfezant are weakness-less will make whatever you attempt harder.
All that said, this seems nearly impossible, but there are a few solid strategies to consider. If you want to bring a Cloud Nine user go
ahead, as that will help greatly. Luckily there are also some field changes we can do. Using Smack Down/Gravity twice can bring you
to Mountain field, which will at least stop the Big Pecks from activating. Flying moves are still boosted on this field; in my game, I was
able to get off Stealth Rocks and 2 Smack Downs then swept with Acrobatics Talonflame for example. If you instead go for Lava
Plume or Blizzard from here, you can take it to Volcano and Snowy Mountain, allowing you to win with a core of Fire/Ice moves
respectively. That said, his Dragonite can get a Weakness Policy boost and rampage with boosted Thunder in the former and again,
flying moves hit hard in the latter. If you really want to go crazy with the field changing strategy, from Mountain, use Dig to bring it
to a Cave, which is a good way to neutralize most of his strategy. If you can live enough turns, use Blizzard to freeze the cave for a
solid Ice core, or from here use Magma Drift/Lava Plume to get to play on a water’s surface, which can be nice for Water and Electric
oriented teams.
Another plausible strategy is, well, if you can’t beat him, join him! The Sky Field can be beneficial for your team, too! The good news
is that the first 8 turns of Tailwind that Souta gets are the only turns of Tailwind he can get, meaning equipping just two of your
Pokémon with the seed means that you can nullify the effects of his tailwind for the first 8 turns and then outspeed him during a
different 8 turns. Honchkrow is an option, as with Moxie, you can boost and with a Tailwind of your own, outspeed some of his team
and hit incredibly hard with Sky Attack. Alternatively, although the Strong Wind stops them from being super effective on anything
not named Swanna, Electric moves are still very potent on this field due to boosts, and Electric types still resist Flying. Thunder
always hits and is boosted, so if you have something fast like Electivire with Thunder, which can be a good choice here.
There are more ways to beat him than I’ve outlined here, but that’s a good starter kit. Hopefully you can find a way to abuse the
field somehow.
Win to get TM62 Acrobatics! And more importantly, you’ll get the Golden Wing Badge. Ask Erin if she is ok for relationship points,
you’ll also get... Souta’s Cane. Well, that’s interesting.
After a conversation with Erin and Eldest, head into the middle room upstairs. After the scene, exit the building.
As soon as you’re ready, talk to Erin and agree to enter the rift. Head up and follow the path, it’s quite straightforward. Grab the Rift
Notes on Pulse: Bella and continue. Erin is gonna help us with this fight:
Back inside, head into the left room upstairs. Outside, say to Erin “You sure you’re ok?”, “Let’s save Venam”, and Welcome back.” for
relationship points.

Honestly though, Lucifer on the forums wrote up a fantastic guide to getting 100% in the side game, and so I wouldn’t want to waste
time by writing my own guide to it.
https://www.rebornevo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/34308-spoilers-the-completionists-guide-to-where-love-lies/
Check out WLL if you’d like, but it’s not necessarily INTEGRAL to understand the main game’s story.
...If you did play WLL and got a certain password at the end for getting the good ending however, head over to GDC’s Central
Building during the morning or the daytime and talk to a receptionist to get Riolu! The password, if you forgot/just want the reward,
the password is 489234.
Next, if we’re all caught up on the missing children / ANA side quest, here’s ANA Quest Part 2:
Head over to the HOH and enter the door on the left side. Talk to the nurse and the cop.
Head outside and talk to Ana in front of the HOH. Head south to enter the Pokémon hospital. Enter the first door.
Return to the District of Hope when you can and cross the bridge to the south. Beat the grunts.
Return to Dylan’s House, and talk to Ana and Dylan here.
Head out and go to the art museum and talk to the owner, who will let you keep the painting. Keep it for now.
That’s it for these quests for now. Enter the Scholar district, to the right of Axis High.

Enter the student rec. center. In the left room you’ll find another game corner!
Of course, the Pokémon are the new thing here. That said, they’re ridiculously expensive. It would probably take something like 5-10
hours of Voltorb flip to get enough coins to get all of them. In the money to coins conversion, in order to get all of them you would
need to convert $1,670,000, which you probably do not have unless you haven’t been buying anything and have spammed Payday
or something. But… for all five, this is the only way to get them. So, grind it out now or later if you want to complete your Pokedex.
Head west and south to get to the National Park. Back-to-back, you’ll find:
Walk back to the park in the center of Scholar District and talk to Huey again. Yet again our story will split a little bit depending on
how we handled the Darchlight saga… oh boy. Be prepared to not be able to return to GDC for a bit.
If you just watched Flora escape, head up at Route 9 to fight Bladestar. Once you win, you’ll be taken to the Voidal Chasm.
If you just watched Flora talk to Jenkyl, talk to the group, then head back to the National Park with Kanon. Once you talk to him and
Beheeyem, you’ll be taken to the Zorrialyn Desert!
At this point, we’re basically in the same “region”, just on opposite sides. I’ll be covering everything in this guide in the order of the
group that starts at Voidal Chasm, but just know the same items, wild Pokémon, etc. can be accessed in both routes. For now, if you
took the Beheeyem route, we’ll need to come here in the story anyways in a bit, so jump to the next section to explore the desert
for now, then return to the chasm section after.

There are also Alolan Exeggutor in various spots in the desert.
Zorrialyn is like a big loop - I will explore it clockwise, so head to the south, then west. Don’t head into the southern exits quite yet
though. Grab the Max Ether here. Further west grab the Mineral Ball. We can’t do anything in Alamissa yet, so keep going west. Pick
up the Ether, then head west. Take the second set (from the east) of rock climb to pick up TM37 Sandstorm.

Heading east will lead us to another rock climb. Head all the way up and then right to get a Smooth Rock. Grab:

Head back down then go east, and we’ll have completed the loop. Next, we’re gonna check out the map in the very southeast of the
desert.

Finally, head to the west and cross the bridges, and watch your respective cutscene.
If you’re on the Kanon + Claydol path, now’s the proper time you’re heading to the Voidal Chasm. Explore using the section above if
you’d like, basically go backwards. We need to go to B3F of Voidal Chasm. Now’s your fight with the hooded figure. Beat him, then
outside, talk to the crew, then make your way to the Village.
Cross the bridges and enter the village.
Talk to the girl on the second level here, and she’ll give you some stories in exchange for some cash. There is also a Level 75 Audino
Breeder here. You’ll get 3 Exp. Candy XL if you win, but only the first time. Take it if you’d like, then head up.

Head all the way to the top. We can surf here. Do so on the left side, and you’ll find:
Back at the top of the village, talk to Damien and Alexandra in their room. Then, head to the inn and talk to the innkeeper. After a
brief cutscene, it’s time for a change-up!
Hospital of Ruin (1st Visit) - HospRuin1
Time for another section where we get to control a different character. Exit your room and leave to the left. Talk to the elevator, and
head down the shaft.
Head down to talk to the computer at the bottom of the shaft, then head up. Interact with the B1 door to listen in on a conversation.
Then, head up to 1F and exit the shaft. In the rightmost room of the floor, read all the computer files in the office.
Back down in the shaft, type 8433 in the console at the bottom.
Down here, enter the room on the left, then press the panel. Enter the room at the top and talk to Braixen. Head to the bottom-right
and follow the path.
Choose whether to follow Giratina, then fight the grunts. The outcome doesn’t matter here, but it’s winnable if you can get lucky
with an Ancient Power boost or Braixen living to put Muk to sleep.
Anyways, after the battle, the scenes will finish playing out… Dark.
If you’re on the Bladestar kidnap route, head to talk to Alexandra at the very top of the village and choose “I Wish for Peace” and
“Alright” to get as many relationship-points as possible.
If you’re on the Kanon route, talk to Ren at the bottom of the village.
Either way, head to Alamissa Urben, located halfway east on the lower loop of the desert.
Talk to Ren at the entrance and you’ll get Sylveon, as well as the Mysterious Black Box. I recommend training this Sylveon up, with
the Misty Terrain move, and you’ll see why in a few sections.

The path through this area is linear, with lots of battles with Bladestar grunts, so follow the path up and down ladders as you go,
watching scenes and beating baddies. Grab the Red Flute, Mosaic Mail, Poke Toy, Power Bracer along the way.
Rock Smash all the rocks that you can along the way - they’ll permanently be gone, leaving you shortcuts for the area.
Talk to the group up at the top, then head to the left. Grab the Prism Scale in a house here, then the Poke Toy at the bottom.
Beat the grunts with the assistance of Ren, then watch the scene…
Talk to the computer at the top of the second column. After you get control, talk to Erin downstairs. Then, head upstairs and talk to
the Youngster for a battle. Talk to Erin again, until it is nighttime. Once you regain control, enter the arena.
Battle Erin! Though, win or lose, the game will continue. Finish watching the wholesome scene and proceed.

So yeah, we’ll be playing as Ren, and any captures we make will go to our main character’s PC. Nice.
Head to the south-central square in town. After the scene, head to the Hiyoshi Pass again. Attempt to enter Rejuvenation Co., then
head back to the city. Talk to the woman directly above the truck, then head to Route 5.
Head west as soon as you can on Route 5 and talk to Anastasia, then enter Rejuvenation Co. by beating the guards.
In the building, head west and follow the path, beating all the trainers, including Ace!
After the sequence of events, return to Nymiera’s house. Talk to the nurse in the inn, then head to the north part of town to engage
with the maids. Head straight south. Beat the maids, then return to the inn one more time. Enter the tunnel, we’re going in. Make
your way to the back.
We get control of our character again! Return to the tunnel. We’re gonna be pushing strength boulders onto the spiked platforms.
As soon as you get to the first healing star, grab the Focus Sash to the left and press the button on the pillar.
… … … Well. Once you get control back, head to Nymiera’s house once again. Push the button on the back of the bookcase!
Next, it’s time for some Help Quests. Enter the door in the middle of Sashila Village, on the left side.
Next, we’re gonna enter Sand Stream Cave. In Sashila, head to the top, and surf to the east (on the opposite side of the research

until we’re good, then take a quicksand vortex to B1F. Alternatively, just wait until nighttime for guaranteed odds.
Enter the vortex in the sand pit. Grab the Revive here on B2F, then another Revive past some Rock Climbs. Grab the Full Heal and the
Moon Ball along the path. There are tons of wild Hippowdon roaming around down here as well.

Next, we’re going to do some treasure hunting. Head down south of Zorrialyn Coast, and you’ll see a cave entrance.
I’m basically gonna list the paths I took in this section that led me to all the items. Every junction is listed. You’ll need to return
multiple times.
B1F
1: Up Right Down Right Right Down Left, grab PP Max. Then, Right Down Left Down Down Left, grab Relic Copper. Left Up Left (Battle
with wild Cofagrigus and proceed) Up Up, grab HP Up. Then, Down Down Left all the way, grab Relic Copper. Right Up Up Right, grab
Relic Copper. Then, go Left Up Up Right (Battle) Up Left Up, and in. Grab the Magcargo Crest! Exit this room, then go Down Right
(Battle) Right Up Left Up Left Down, grab Relic Copper. Enter the room Up Left and grab Seviper Crest. It kicked me out shortly after.
2: Up Left Left Up Up Left Up Left Up Left Down, grab Dread Plate. Up Right Up, but don’t go in as there is nothing there. So, from
here, Right Up Right Down Right (under the big crack) Up for a Heart Scale. Right Down for a Meadow Plate, then Up Right Up for an
Icicle Plate. Right Up Right and follow the path to Dread Plate. Back at the first junction following this path, Down Right Down Left
Down Left for an Insect Plate. Booted!
3: Up Left Down Left all the way (Battle included), Rock Smash left and interact with the wall and use Strength. From the junction: Up
Right all the way Down Right again ALL the way (Battle included), Down Left and in. Grab the Oricorio Crest. Exit, and go all the way
up and in. Now, we’ve made it to Floor 2. Repeat the wall interaction and the final ladder entrance to return to B2F anytime.
B2F
1: Down Right Up, grab Toxic Plate. Down Left Down all the way, Left Up in. Get the Stantler Crest. Exit, then go Right Up Up Left Left
Left Up, grab Fist Plate. Down Right Right Up Up Left Up all the way, Left Up Right Down, grab Flame Plate. Nothing in the door
above, so Left at the junction, Up all the way, Right Down for an Iron Plate, then Up and LEFT ALL THE WAY UNTIL A DOOR. inside is a
Hypno Crest. Exit this room and go Left Left Down Right to get Earth Plate. Left Down Down Right Down Right Up, into a door. Get
Fearow Crest. I got booted here.
2: Right Down Right, then talk to and defeat/catch the Cofagrigus. Left all the way, slight up, Left all the way. Down all the way. Grab
the Carbos here, but DON’T read the wall, or you’ll have to go fight Cofagrigus again. Left Up Right Up, and you’re on the 3rd section.
Again, repeat this section to get to B3F.
B3F
1: Down Left Up, get Relic Silver. Down Right Up Right Up Left Up, get Stone Plate. Down Left Up and in to get Leafeon Crest. Exit,
Down Left Up Right Up asap, Left to get Relic Silver. Rock Smash here and go Up Up Right Up Right for Sky Plate. Booted!

Right and up and in, for Glaceon Crest. Exit, and all the way Right again past the 1-tile pathway, and Up Left Up after that for Relic
Copper. Down, Right all the way, Down for Relic Copper. Up Left Up for Spooky Plate.
This is all we can do for now in the labyrinth! We’ll be back here not too long from now.
Consider putting the Crests on one of the Pokémon, if you’d like. Each one powers up an otherwise weak Pokémon, so hey, that’s
neat!
That about covers the quests and available content in the Badlands, for now.
Talk to Damien at the top of Sashila and head back to Route 9. There, you’ll get HM02 Fly! About time.
When you’re ready, hop on the Route 9 train headed to the Tournament Stadium. Enter the building. Talk to Erin at the desk, then to
the attendant.
Head in and into the door on the left. When you’re ready, talk to the guy at the right. We’ll be playing a 3v3 tournament. Each battle,
minus the last, will be played on a RANDOM field. So, that’s interesting. The trainers aren’t too hard to beat, but so you’re aware of
their strategies, here they are:
● Rain Team
● FEAR/Sturdy Shenanigans
● Extreme Evo-boost -> Pass -> Stored Power
You’ll then get to play as Melia for a quick second. Head into the Grand Dream Ball.
So, beat all eight of these fools and watch the following cutscene…
Win to get the Rugged Badge, which lets us use Dive and go up to Level 85. You’ll also get TM80 Rock Slide. Nice.
Chapter 14: Death of One, Birth of Another
After the cutscenes play out, head back outside. Talk to the crew in the lobby, then outside.
Before we board the ship, there are a TON of side quests that have opened on the other islands we haven’t been able to visit for a
while. Skip to the next section if you want to just progress the story. This section is all doable in V11, so if you did this part already
you can skip to the next for V12 content.
We can fly now! If you have the Golden Wings, use them, otherwise, teach fly to a Pidgey or something.
Fly to Secret Shore, and head to the left. You’ll notice a strength boulder across the water – push it out of the way, and you’ll find a
special den. Put in 15000 Red Essence and a Rift Matter, and you’ll be able to battle Beldum! It has two shields. Just make sure you
don’t kill it or let it Take Down itself to death. When you catch it, your reward will be Xen Waste. Note that this is a special shadow
Pokémon and needs to enter the Purify Chamber in the PC such that all 9 of the slots have perfect “flow” in order to be purified.
Easiest way to do this is to stick 36 normal types in.
Next, head to the back room of Xen Shadow HQ. Take the train to the hidden lab. With the 3 Cell Batteries, 1 Metal Powder, and 1
Poke Ball we were able to buy, interact with the machine in the lab to get Ralts!
Next, fly to Evergreen Forest, and head up. Rock Climb here, then use Strength to get to the top. Here, you’ll find an Ice Memory and
have a chance to catch Sneasel! Towards the top of the area, surf across a pond, climb some rocks and use Strength again to pick up
MegaStone Audinite! Make your way to the spring. Battle and catch “The Emperor” (Empoleon). Talk to Nana in her house for a
King’s Rock!
Head to North Evergreen Cave. Melt the ice again with a move like Lava Plume to get to the top. Push the boulder into this hole. On
the next floor, you need to push it into the rightmost hole… unfortunately this is the farthest one away. On the next floor, navigate it
all the way around to the hole on the bottom. Once you push it down, follow it. Fish in this newly opened spot to catch Feebas!
Fly to Kakori and enter the jungle. If you’ve picked up the T.M.’s for Hail, Sunny Day, and Rain Dance, show them to the guy in front
of the weather institute to get the Castform Crest and TM128 Weather Ball. Enter Aquamarine Cave next: in the chamber room, surf
up and talk to Squirtle. Give it a GourmetTreat for a battle.
Next, fly to Akuwa Town and enter the Locksmith’s house. Show him our broken key. If you have 2 Light Clay and 1 Hard Stone, he’ll
make us a Reforged Key! Nice. Fly back to Sashila and attempt to enter the house on the coastline. Head upstairs and talk to the girl.
Interact with the hook downstairs and place the family portrait. Then, head around to the left and go downstairs to get MegaStone
Gardevoirite.
Next, we’re heading to Lost Camp. For this part, we need to have completed Mosely’s quest in the hospital. Enter Maman’s house
and go upstairs. After some scenes, you’ll get Starly.
Fly to Goldenleaf Town and enter Wispy Ruins through the statue. Head into the 4-way junction and go right, then, push the
strength boulder onto the platform. Enter, and follow the path up to the 9-badge gate. Talk to the treasure chest for a battle with
Gastly!
Enter the Lost Castle and make your way straight to the back. If you’ve opened all 9 of the badge gate chests, head in to get the
Vespiquen Crest, and TM61 Will-o-Wisp.
Next, head to Wispy Tower. Head around the back via Strength to get Reaper Cloth!
Exit, and make your way to Sheridan Village. Enter Carotos via the waterfall entrance and make your way to the second room. Cross
the bridge to the right, use Blast Powder, and use strength to get beyond.
Next, fly to Rose Theater and use the Time Splicer Stone. Head to Sheridan Village, then cut down the pink sapling in front of the
village. Then, return to the present and make your way to Route 2.
Route 2 (Altered)
Grass % Headbutt % Water %
Chansey 1 Vespiquen 5
ZCell 091: Route 2 (Altered)
Return to the past again and give the guy on Route 2 some research notes so he’ll finally move out of the way. At night only, you can
get:
ZCell 092: Route 2
Also, you can catch Whimsicott here!
Next, fly to Kakori, and head down to the depths. Using strength in the backroom, you’ll get TM106 Irritation.
Next, we’re gonna fly to West Gearen City. Head into the house with the red door on the south side of town. If you’ve beat all the
virtual gym leaders, accept the challenge to the virtual E4. You can “take a break” after each win: if you do, you can save between
each member.
If you succeed, you’ll get the corresponding crest to your starter in the challenge: the Meganium Crest, Typhlosion Crest, or
Feraligatr Crest! You’ll also get 25 AP Points and your fourth department store stamp!
On Junction Bridge, push a boulder out of the way – now that we have the Dull Key, open the door here and use a GourmetTreat to
get Litten!
Head to Route 2 and talk to Kecleon. He’ll offer to sell the two crests that correspond to the starters we did NOT choose in the
virtual league. He’ll sell the Meganium Crest, Typhlosion Crest, and Feraligatr Crest for $250,000 each. Steep, but worth it if you are
using any of these three.
As you’ve probably noticed, East Gearen City looks brand new. Fly there!
Enter the lab and talk to Jan. Then, head outside and talk to Adrienn again.
Enter the sewers with Adrienn and go first to the generator room, then the upper right room. Emerge on the east side of Gearen and
meet Adrienn and Aya in the middle of the city.
We have our new directive: help quests. Before that though, check out Gearen Park if you want.
Budew 40
Spearow 30
Pansear 10
Panpour 10
Whismur 5
Skitty 4
Bellsprout 1
Catch a Level 100 Budew (or catch something close and Rare Candy it to 100). Then, show it to the guy at the bottom for ZCrystal
Grassium-Z.
Add Aevian Budew to your party and head up to the library. Upstairs, talk to Zumi, who will reward us for showing Aevian Budew
earlier with 10 Exp. Candy L and MegaStone Ampharosite! Our final task is a Pokémon found at Axis University.
Enter the Help Center. If you’ve been keeping track of Zygarde Cells (At least 70), talk to the researchers to get Lucky Egg!
Lycanroc 10 Clawitzer 20
Greedent 5
Diggersby 5
Lopunny 4
Ninjask 1
Unfezant 1
● Pick: 2 Lum Berries, 2 Salac Berries, 2 Lansat Berries, 1 Enigma Berry, 2 Starf Berries, and pick up the Bug Memory.
● Talk to Adrienn at the top. Beat the Deathwing.
● Return to Grand Hall and talk to Adrienn. Enter the basement and take a right.
● After the scene, exit this room and enter the room on the right at the bottom, and grab ZCrystal Normalium-Z.
● Return to the help center to get (back) $250,000, and MegaStone Mawilite.
After doing all three quests, head over to Venam’s gym to fight Aya.
Essentially, now that we’ve beaten Souta, all four of the dens have been updated with new Pokémon! So, I will list the Pokémon in
each here.
RIFT DEN 1 (12 - 16 Badges): The common encounters in this den are Rockruff, Shiftry, Reuniclus, Solosis, Tropius, Sigilyph,
Dhelmise. The rare ones are Relicanth, Persian, Lumineon, Sudowoodo, Lanturn.
RIFT DEN 2 (12 - 16 Badges): The common encounters in this den are Unfezant, Wailord, Dunsparce, Mandibuzz, Masquerain,
Quagsire, Togedemaru. The rare ones are Chatot, Snorunt, Glalie, Cacnea, Cacturne, Claydol, Klefki.
RIFT DEN 3 (12 - 16 Badges): The common encounters in this den are Stoutland, Crabrawler, Pachirisu, Chimecho, Stunfisk, Kadabra,
Mankey. The rare ones are Rhydon, Vanilluxe, Vanillish, Purugly, Ditto, Ursaring.
RIFT DEN 4 (12 - 16 Badges): The common encounters in this den are Lombre, Gastrodon, Seismitoad, Swanna. The rare ones are
Mantine, Jellicent.
That’s all we can do right now, so head back to the GDC Tournament Stadium and board the ship.
After another conversation, you can talk to Sharon for a battle against the duo. It’s optional but will get you relationship points with
Ren and Aelita. Head up the ladder and talk to Nastasia and Ren. Follow her into the room on the right, then go back downstairs.
Beat the Xen grunts, then on the couch, accept Aelita’s request for story time. We’re now playing as her with her team for a little bit!
As soon as you get control, head over to the spot on the left side of the arena for a battle with the best character in the game.
Afterwards, you’ll get the Cherrim Crest. Tell Aelita you want to rest for a while once you’re ready. Head outside the airship when
you wake up!
Helioptile 30
Maractus 30
Vullaby 14
Tauros 10
Heliolisk 9
Skorupi 5
Drapion 1
Mandibuzz 1
We’ll need a few Blast Powders to progress, so buy them now. Use the PC star above to add an Electric type to your party. You’ll
need one, so catch a Helioptile out here if you don’t have one yet. Audino will heal your team if you talk to it.
Enter the building and go down to the basement. You can hop across any single-spaced gaps, so do so to get to the right side of the
map. Talk to the panel with your electric type to light it up.
Upstairs, enter the open door and beat the grunt. You’ll then regain control of Aelita, so head back to the power room at the
bottom.
Back as your character, head to the right and exit this building. Catch a breath of fresh air outside and enter the next building to the
right. Once you enter, you’ll fall to the abandoned depths!
Once you’re in the depths, heal with Audino, then talk to the crew and learn you can switch characters by pressing the A key. To
progress in this area, I recommend this order:
● As MC, go up and battle the grunt. Follow the path forward to the hole.
● As Ren, head right, then fly up and over the gap. Each gap is distinguished by an obvious indent in the floor. Follow this path
to the second gap, then to the third. Head over to the left to the gap you can’t cross.
● As Aelita, push the boulder into the hole, then cross the gap to the right. Follow the path to the next gap and attempt to
cross.
● As Ren, approach the gap and boost Aelita across. Then, navigate him all the way right to the stairs.
● As Aelita, head to the right, dropping the second boulder. Navigate her to the stairs to the right.
● AS MC, follow the path right, beating the grunts. Rendezvous with the crew!
Once you’ve cleared the puzzle, heal with Audino and head to the right. After a cutscene, follow the stairs up and exit the building.
In this area, smash the two rocks to the left for easier backtracking and navigation.
If you removed your electric type, readd it to your team, and enter the backroom. Go downstairs and power on the generator. (This
is the last time we will need the electric type in V12). Enter the newly opened room and read the book with Ren, then exit this
building and enter the one below it.
Enter Nymiera’s old house and go to the basement to click the lever. Save/heal and approach the top of the Zone Zero area.
Once in this area, go right to the Pokémon Center area. After the scene, grab the Full Restore below. Then head into the Center and
talk to the crew.
After a few cutscenes, you’ll get to play as Melia. All you must do is follow the path through this area but be prepared for a battle!
What follows is a mech-battle sequence. The mechanics are complicated, but you don’t have to necessarily win this one. If you do
want to win, I recommend just using the attack she references in the text right before you attack - if she uses “hammer”, “bash”, or
“top” in her text you’ll be able to know which to use. If she says the other thing, I recommend “tank engine”. I don’t know all the
mechanics of this fight yet, but this strategy worked for me the two times I played it.
Once you regain control, head left and up out of the center, then enter the now-opened gate area.
If you grabbed the Weird Diary in the past, now is another chance to use it!
Dimensional Rift Hippowdon (Desert Field)
● Hippowdon, Level 85. @ Black Sludge. Type: Ground / Poison. Ability: Accumulate. Stats: 254/168/180/182/142/47
○ Heat Wave
○ Sludge Wave
○ Spit Up
○ Earth Power
This one isn’t too bad… Ren’s team puts in work by supplying Arenite Wall and he also tends to burn it. Dropping its attack stats
super low is a good move – it’s so slow you should be able to get off at least a Memento or something if you so choose. It holds Black
Sludge which you can knock off. Using super effective moves to slowly chip away at each of its four shields afterwards will do the
trick.
Talk to the Bladestar Grunt body on the left to grab an Ability Capsule. Afterwards, head up and out! Nothing can be done to the left
now, so head up to the next map. On the right by a gravestone, you’ll find:
ZCell 097: Zone Zero
Head up and to the left for one more cutscene and then enter the pyramid grounds.
Enter the spring at the top and watch the scenes play out. Next, we’re going to begin the crawl to the top, so enter the room at the
right side of the lobby and head up.
We get control of Aelita and Ren again. The following is the sequence that will get us through the first section:
● As Aelita, battle the goon and click the blue switch.
● As Ren, head down, then click the green switch.
● As Aelita, position yourself above the green bridge in the middle.
● As MC, head up and battle the grunt, then click the blue switch.
● As Ren, head back up and go all the way up and right.
● As Aelita, head up and stand on the red switch here.
● As Ren, pass the red bridge and beat the grunt. Wait in this area.
● As Aelita, step off the switch and position yourself down below the blue bridge.
● As Ren, step on the green switch.
● As MC, walk up past the green bridge as far as it will let you go.
● As Aelita, walk past the green switch and press the blue switch.
● As Ren, walk up and stand on the red switch.
● As Aelita, walk as far up as it will let you go.
● As Ren, head up as far as you can
● Return to control of the MC and head up for a battle!
While the battle may seem tough, they’re just slightly beefed-up Magneton and Claydol. We’ll be fighting more of these throughout
the tower, but they aren’t too tough. Every mech we will face has Steel as their primary type.
Now, onto the second part of the puzzle:
● As MC, walk up and stand on the red switch.
● As Ren, head right and defeat the defense mechanism.
● As Aelita, head up and defeat the defense mechanism, then head all the way up to click the blue switch.
● As Ren, cross the first blue bridge and head all the way up to stand next to the blue switch in the upper right area. Make sure
you’re on the left side of the bridge that leads to the red switch.
● As Aelita, cross the blue bridge at the left and click the green switch.
● As MC, cross the green bridge and wait in this area.
● As Ren, click the blue switch, then cross to the right and stand on the red switch.
● As Aelita, go all the way to the right, across the red and purple bridges until you can’t go further.
● As MC, head up past the red bridge and wait there.
● As Ren, head all the way to the left until you can’t go further.
● Finally, as MC go up and rendezvous!
Head up and follow the path… after another scene, it’s time for another mech battle!!!!!
Luckily this is the same deal as before, I guided Allen to victory by doing the attack the grunt mentioned in their dialogue before our
turn.
After some interesting scenes, head up to battle some goons. You’ll be tag-teamed with the other characters here -- these fights
aren’t too tough.
After… that, head up and follow the path. In general, the next few rooms are straightforward progression, talking to characters as
necessary. You’ll also find this, in the room with hoverboard dude:
ZCell 099: Eclysia Pyramid
Emerge at the Eclysia Skyview!
Anyways, one of the biggest pitfalls this field throws at you is that it gives all Ground types a free 1.5x in Special Defense. Pretty
annoying because it means that you’re gonna need to more heavily rely on physical attacks even though many of his team members
are very defensive. Additionally, Dig comes out in just one turn and is boosted to 120 base power, so it’s an even stronger STAB
Earthquake.
Nidoqueen is the only Pokémon here that doesn’t really have insane synergy with the field and weather other than this boost – even
then it melts your tanky dreams by laying Toxic Spikes or piercing you with mixed Sheer Force offense. His Claydol has a crest which
notably makes its special attack stronger and makes Hyper Beam not need a recharge turn, which means it hits hard. Arenite Wall on
this, Torterra, and Gliscor can always come out, even if you change the weather on them, which makes his team even more hard to
kill. Gliscor, particularly with its seed, is super annoying, because not only can it tank your attacks and heal, but also hit hard with Dig
and 110 base Acrobatics. Torterra on the other hand is annoying for a different reason: its crest swaps its resistances and
weaknesses: say goodbye to 4x Ice, Fire, Bug, Flying and say hello to… just Rock and Ground, which it hits super effectively anyways.
It and Torterra’s Desert Mark attack turns your typing to Ground and fixes Sand Tomb on you as well, particularly useful for Torterra
as the next turn it can use super effective Wood Hammer. Mega Camerupt also hits like a truck, especially if you take advantage of
free 8 turn Sun on the field and will almost certainly one-shot most things with boosted Heat Wave. And finally, there is Sand Rush
Excadrill, once deemed so good it had to be banned from competitive play. Since then, sand has gotten nerfs here and there and it’s
not too bad – after all, if you can switch weather, it’s back to normal base 88 speed… right? On this field Sand Rush is always on so it
will almost always outspeed you and will murder with Dig or Rock Slide.
So, as I hinted at earlier, Sun can be viable here, since Heat Wave and Burn Up are boosted on the field, and it lasts for 8 turns no
matter what. This means you can slap a Telluric Seed, Air Balloon or something else on your sun setter and still get the full benefits.
Alternatively, the move Scald gets a 1.5x boost, so you could switch the weather to rain and go to town with a Swift Swim Scald user
to at least rival the speediness of Excadrill and threaten Claydol, Nidoqueen, Camerupt, and Gliscor, though it does get cancelled
somewhat by the 1.5x defense boost for ground types. Like with Souta’s field, you also may get some success by simply copying
what Ryland is doing: send in your own tanky Ground types with Telluric Seeds and see what havoc they can wreak. One way or
another you can overcome Flora once and for all!
Head back to the top, then go up when you hear a sound at the skyview. After a few cutscenes, you’ll enter a battle! There is a catch
with this one, see if you can spot it.
After a few more cutscenes, you’ll be in control of Adam and Delpha for another battle!
That’s it for this bit, the spring will turn lush and green! If only this could’ve happened earlier to nullify desert field. Anyways, go
ahead and approach the spring when you can. You’ll get the Pyramid Point Badge and TM105 Arenite Wall! After a few more scenes,
you’ll be given a choice to teleport. Say yes if you want to continue the story, but otherwise we can fit in a few quests while we’re on
this island.
Surf to the left side and the right side of the pyramid to get Ground Memory and TM28 Dig. Could’ve been useful 15 minutes ago!
Next, enter the Eclysia Skyview, then make your way down the lift. Once you use a teleporter, head left and surf up and across. Pick
up the Magic Wand here! Exit the pyramid.
Head into the Apartment Depths where we were ambushed by Bladestar. Down here, you can grab:
ZCell 100: Apartment Depths
Head up after grabbing this cell to get an Ability Capsule! Then, head left and follow the path all the way to the left to grab the shiny
Lux Apartment keys.
Exit this building, get the right team ready and enter the one immediately to the right.
Challenger Venus (Big Top Arena)
● Luxray, Level 83. @ Luxray Crest.
○ Wild Charge
○ Strength
○ Superpower
○ Iron Tail
● Centiskorch, Level 85. @ Life Orb.
○ Fire Lash
○ Power Whip
○ Leech Life
○ Will-o-Wisp
● Azumarill, Level 84. @ Iapapa Berry.
○ Aqua Jet
○ Waterfall
○ Sing
○ Play Rough
● Rillaboom, level 84. @ Synthetic Seed.
○ Swords Dance
○ Acrobatics
○ High Horsepower
○ Drum Beating
● Steelix, Level 85. @ Assault Vest.
○ Iron Tail
○ Earthquake
○ Strength
○ Smack Down
● Ledian, Level 87. @ Ledian Crest.
○ Mach Punch
○ Ice Punch
○ Thunderpunch
○ Power-Up-Punch
These mad lads did it - made Ledian half decent! It’s punching moves hit 4 times, so… it’s gonna get up to max attack quick or
perhaps wear you down with priority Mach Punch! Venus has a tough team, though almost entirely because of the team’s synergy
with the field. Many of Ledian, Luxray, and Steelix’s moves can be boosted by the field, and since most of them have the affected
abilities, which means they’re going to hit real hard basically every time. Plus Azumarill’s 100% accurate Sing, and you’re in for a
tricky fight.
Revelation/Petal/Fiery Dance are all boosted under this field, so a team using these that targets their low special defense might
succeed. Dragon/Swords/Quiver Dance also boost stats even more, so a sweeper might see success here if they can get the
opportunity to set up. Acrobatics also is boosted here and can help you get rid of Ledian, Rillaboom, and Centiskorch.
Succeed to nab the third Star Shard, as well as the Ledian Crest, and the fifth Department Store Stamp!
Exit the building and go straight to the right. Enter the tall apartment building with the key.
Once you enter, we’re going to be doing a puzzle like RSE’s Abandoned Ship backrooms. Feel free to solve this yourself, but the
route is as follows:
● Enter the bottom left room, 1A. Interact with the upper right sparkle in this room, the one that is in the second tile from the
right in the upper right corner, to grab a key.
● Exit, and enter the top right room, 1F. Interact with the upper left tile of the table to grab the next key.
● Exit and enter the top middle room, 1E. Study these sparkles, then head left and enter 1D. In the rightmost tile of the bed in
this room you’ll find another key!
● Exit, and go upstairs and enter the top right room, 2F. Study the sparkles, then go into 2E. In the bottom tile of the bed in the
2F side you’ll find the next key.
● Exit and loop around to the bottom right door, 2C. Go around and exit through the 2B door.
● After falling, enter the bottom middle door, 1B. Grab the key two tiles above the rightmost rock.
● Using the door to the left to get back to the main area, head out of 1A and go upstairs to the upper left room, 2D. Grab the
key in the single sparkle, as well as:
ZCell 101: Lux Apartments
● Reenter 2C, then go out the 2B door. Use the key on 1C in the bottom right door, then enter the ladder. Click the lever in this
area!
Now if you head up in Zone Zero to the next map, you’ll find that a gate has opened, leading you to be able to catch Gible! Keep it
unevolved for now or catch two, there is a small quest we can do in a bit with it. Also:
ZCell 102: Zone Zero Gible Cage
Do the Dive (Floria) - DDiveF1
Now that we have the Enigmatic Key, we can do some underwater exploring. All three of the next sections are optional content, but
I recommend all of it!

Fly to the Evergreen Island first, and surf down onto Route 11. First thing we are going to do is go all the way up and right in the
route, to the large mostly circular dive spot. Dive down in this area and interact with the submarine here. We’re going tallest to
shortest, activating the underwater pillars here.
Fly back to Evergreen Island (to save a few seconds of surfing) and surf right, then down. You’ll find a 2x2 square to go down, where
you’ll find the tallest pillar. Interact with it to activate it.
Surface, and dive down in the main area of Route 11. Head down and on the left, as you’ll find a small 2x2 square to surface. Do so
to grab TM33 Reflect! Dive back down, and at the bottom of this area you’ll see a little tunnel you can go through. Do so and surface
to nab TM16 Light Screen. Dive again and go left after exiting the tunnel to the north. Activate the taller pillar here.
Head straight to the right until you find another pillar. Activate it, then surface in the 2x2 square immediately to the right to get
Icicle Plate. Go back down and go up above the third pillar. Surface at this 2x2 square to grab ZCrystal Primarium-Z.
Head back down, then approach the tunnel / 2nd pillar area. At the bottom left, sort of hard to spot, is the fourth pillar. Activate it,
then return to the submarine. After a conversation, surface, fly back to Evergreen, then dive right here and enter the door.
Head up, beating 3 sets of defense mechanisms along the way. Once you reach the top, you’ll be gifted the Empoleon Crest. Nice.
Next up, we’re gonna fly to the Secret Shore. Make your way to the Wetlands Laboratory and use the teleporter to get to the
backroom. Use the downward pads to go down, then dive in the water. Follow the path and surface.
Grab TM112 Smart Strike as well as Shadow Amaura! Use the teleporter to get out.
That’s all we can do in this main area for the time being, so dive back out at the light spot where we activated the first panel.
Next, make your way to the floor which Amber once fell through. Surf down and to the left, then dive down on any of the tiles in the
lowest row. Once back in the current maze, go directly to the right, then go left once you stop before the green rock. Go left then
down, then head to the right. Make sure you use the bottom of the two current tiles to go to the right here. Follow this path to the
left and out.
In this area, grab the Water Memory, then activate the pillar in this area. Head up and swim off the side once you’ve done this.

There is also various wild dive Pokémon swimming about you can interact with for a battle.
If you head up, you can talk to Challenger Neptune for a tough battle!
One idea is to use your own water types as soon as Raichu and Dhelmise go down, as they suffer no speed loss and can take
advantage of the field to hit Whiscash super-effectively and fight back against Samurott and Blastoise. The water surface field also
was a bit easier to deal with in my experience - if you use Dive/Fly/Bounce/Shore Up or can bait Whiscash/Samurott to use it, it can
make the fight easier. Plus, you can use Blizzard to turn the surface into Icy or Sludge Wave to turn it into Murkwater as usual. A
tough fight but lots of ways to turn the odds in your favor.
Win against Neptune to get the fourth Star Shard, Popplio, and the sixth Department Store Stamp!
Make your way to the right. Surface at the spot just before the dark zone. Once on Route 6, head to the right, and dive down in the
dive spot here. Follow this path around and enter the now-opened tower.
Read the lore on the green-tinted bookshelves if you want, then grab the Zangoose Crest and the Ariados Crest. Exit and resurface.
Next, fly to Kakori Village and enter Valor Mountain. Use the blue crystal and make your way to the Valor Chamber at the bottom.
Dive down when you can here, then follow the path to the left and grab ZCrystal Waterium-Z. Take JUST ONE set of currents to the
left, then go up and to the right. Activate this fifth panel (along with the four we found earlier), prepare for battle, and head up
through the now-opened door.
Once you’ve won, head up to catch a Horsea! Exit in the same spot of the maze as we entered the first time.
Last place to dive on this island is at the first place we entered - so fly to the shore. Surf to the northeast corner and dive. It’s time to
explore the S.S. Oceania once again…
There is some Luminous moss at the top of the entry room, as well as Corsola. Heading to the right you’ll be attacked by Sharpedo.
In this first room, pick up 5 Dive Balls then follow the path. Pick up a Water Stone in the room next to you, then beat the next
Sharpedo. A room to the left will have MegaStone Sharpedonite. To the right, beat another shark then follow the path to pick up 5
more Dive Balls. Exit to the right for 5 Luxury Balls. A door at the top to the left leads you to a Dawn Stone. Finally, head up the stairs
here and you’ll have a chance to battle and catch Mareanie! Exit the ship the same way we came in.
Kingdom of Goomidra - GoomyQ1
If you’ve done all the quests listed above, there’s another major side quest we can do! One more new dive spot to explore, and it’s
quite the big one! Enter Honec Woods and make your way to the upper right-hand corner. Dive down here.

Emerge at the top into the Kingdom of Goomidra. In a few houses, you can find move tutor Goomy that accept mushrooms:
Left-Middle Move Tutor
Seed Bomb 1 Tiny Mushroom
Dragon Pulse 1 Big Mushroom
Pain Split 1 Big Mushroom
In the top right area of the town, grab 3 Pecha Berries, 2 Lum Berries, 3 Starf Berries, 2 Enigma Berries, and 2 Aspear Berries.
Enter the castle at the top, then talk to Goomelda in her room. Exit the castle afterwards, then talk to Goomink in the upper left
house of the village. At the top of the village, fight and beat Goomink, then fly over to East Gearen after he leaves.
Enter Venam’s gym, and head to the back. Fight Aya with Goomink. Shock Wave tends to work.
After winning, head outside the gym, then fly to Kakori Village. Head down to Crawli’s arena and talk to Goomink here. Beat Crawli
here. Counter tends to work.
Fight Goomy once you’re outside the gym again. Fly to Sashila, then the Zorrialyn Coast to the south. Heal Goomy, then after the
conversation head to the water in the village. Talk to the guy to add a raft stop to the village, then talk to Goomink to embark.
Back on land, you’ll have to face a team AA grunt as the Hero Goomink. It’s not too hard with two Sacred Swords, luckily.
Afterwards, fly back to the Kingdom of Goomidra. Make your way to the castle and battle the grunts as you go up. After the events
at the top of the tower, head back to the throne room, and talk to the king. You’ll get MegaStone Swampertite and Infernape Crest!
Head down the hallway to the right, into the ruins room. The first fight you do you will likely lose against Big Betty, but the second
you can win by using Swords Dance -> King’s Shield -> Thousand Arrows -> King’s Shield -> Thousand Arrows -> King’s Shield ->
Thousand Arrows -> Thousand Arrows.
After these events, re-enter the ruins room. While here, grab TM08 Bulk Up.

With that out of the way, head to the Zorrialyn Labyrinth. Make your way to the third floor just as we did before. Follow the
southmost path to the east, until you reach a sign. Talk to the sign and show your Water/Rock type to it. Then, head north and west
to reach the dive spot.
Note that in this area we can catch Relicanth, Clamperl, Luvdisc. We’re gonna do three more runs to explore this area of the ruins
and snag all the items. Do so as follows:
1: Down Left Up to get Relic Silver. Go straight down and grab Mind Plate. Head Up West Up and in this area is Calcium. Enter the
door and get the Skuntank Crest. From here, exit the alcove and go Right Down for a Heart Scale, then Left Down as far as you can,
then Right Down. In this big room, grab the Heart Scale and the Relic Silver. Exit the room and go Up Right Up Right to get Blue
Shard. Then, I was booted.
2: Down Right, in this big room grab Splash Plate, then enter the door at the top to get Relicanth Crest. From here, exit, then go
Down and through the hallway. First Left, and grab Pixie Plate here. Take the bottom right exit and grab the Full Restore. Then, go
south into this big room, picking up the PP Up, Dread Plate, and Water Stone. This is all the items we can collect, so I was booted
shortly after.
3: To progress, knock out 4 Luvdisc in the map. There’s one in the southwest corner, one in the southeast corner, one in the big
room on the east side, and one in the northeast room. After, head to the middle south part of the map, and go in. Get the Zap Plate.
Then, use dive in the sandy spot here. Attempt to grab the item ball and win the fight against the team. Get the Cofagrigus Crest!
Afterwards, head to the top of this map and enter the door on top with the incantation. Head up and agree to help Karen, then fight
the AA grunt. Exit out the right door, then fight the AA grunt here. Press this switch and exit through the teleporter. Now, follow the
stairs on the left up.
Interact with the purple bookshelf on the left and follow the path. Grab the Eviolite in the library, then the Claydol Crest outside! Go
back through and enter the door down in the area with the stairs.
Immediately go left and go down the stairs here. Follow this path to a door to grab the Spiritomb Crest. Then head back to the open
area and head all the way to the right, to grab the Darmanitan Crest in the door here.
Cross the bridge near the AA grunt. Go straight up and follow this path all the way through until the top of the castle. After a scene,
start heading down the castle. After two sets of stairs, you’ll notice a cave has opened at the top, so head in to catch Larvesta!
Head back out, but when you reach a fork, head left and go up the stairs here to get onto the area where Karen and Karrina are
fighting.
Afterwards, you’ll get a choice. If you choose the first, you’ll get no karma loss, and you will get Life Orb in a bit. If you choose the
second, you’ll lose karma, but get the second mega stone from the Hidden Library way back when.
If you chose the second option, at the top, make a second choice. If you choose No, you’ll then get MegaStone Banettite or
MegaStone Heracronite. If you choose Yes, then the stone will be shining on the ground as you make your way through the tower.
Either way, head back to where you fought Karrina, and head to the right. Go up to grab the Torterra Crest! Exit the castle now.
If you chose the first option, fly to Alamissa Urben and enter a door all the way on the left, accessed via the top left side of the area.
Grab the Life Orb! You can also read the journal if you’d like.
In either case, with all the crests that we found in the crypt, fly to Sashila and talk to the left merchant for some lore, and a Dusknoir
Crest!

Talonflame 2 Shellder 20
You can also catch the overhead Wingull and Pelipper!
Aquarium Side Quest – AquaSQ1
Now that we’ve been to Route 10, there is a side quest we can do. Head to the Akuwa Town Aquarium. Back in the SOS room, talk to
the director, who will ask us for help with the aquarium. The Pokemon we need to submit are as follows. If you don’t care about
keeping any of them, submit the ones you already have, otherwise, here are where you can go get more (or breeding is always an
option). There are 34.
For submitting at least 10, you’ll get $60,000 and the Super Rod. For submitting at least 20, you’ll get another $60,000. For
submitting all 34, you’ll get $80,000 as well as Froakie. Nice.
Now that we have the Super Rod, there are a whole bunch of areas that now hold strong water Pokemon. The Super Rod tables for

At Pokestar Studios, head up, then talk to Ana on the right. Follow her to the left again, let the scenes play out, then at Dylan’s place
again, exit and go down and right. Go down the bottom exit to get a Toxic Orb. In the north side, battle through a gauntlet of trainers
to proceed. At the docks, talk to the pair to end up in Kristiline Town.
After a conversation in his house, follow Ana to the Sapphire Museum. Talk to her, then follow her to the Lava Cookie house above.
After that conversation, go back to Dylan’s and talk to her there. Talk to her once more in front of the Pokémon Center.
Use the boat to get to Teila Resort and go to the lighthouse area of the cave via the hole Amber fell through. You’ll get 5 Lava
Cookies!
Back in Kristiline, you’ll get offered to go to Teila Resort. Head there and talk to Ana in the middle. Gather intel from the
townspeople then talk to her again. We don’t need to win the challenge, but if you’d like to, choose these options from her
questions: first, fourth, second. Then talk to Gigiorno in the middle to get it started.
Back in Kristiline again, enter the house. That’s all we can do in this quest for now!
...While we’re on Terajuma, fly to Kakori Village. Enter the bottom-right house and present the Magic Wand to get Fennekin!
After the rest of the cutscenes play out… we did it! There are a couple quests we can take care of right now before progressing the
story further.
Narcissa’s Quest (Final) - NarcQF1
Head over to Goldenleaf Town. Talk to Narcy by the sign east of the Pokémon Center. Follow her to her house and head upstairs.
Read her journal, then head out.
You’ll need something with Dark Pulse or Night Daze – the easiest is the Spiritomb we caught earlier which comes with Dark Pulse.
Add it to your party and head down to Phasial Cave, using Rock Climb to descend to a lower level.
Next, fly to the Rose Theater, and enter Forlorned Cavern on Route 9. If you’ve done all the events of the Narcissa/Dufaux quest up
to this point, enter the first room in the main area of the cave, with the time stone. After a scene with Narcissa, accept the fast travel
to the Cliffside Grave if you’ve been already -- if not, follow the path earlier in the game to Rift Chandelure. Talk to her again, then
head to Phasial Cave.
Head up and watch the scenes play out. Then, in Narcissa’s house, talk to her upstairs. Head out and go to the Wispy Tower. Talk to
young Narcy here and go in. Enter the lab, and head left. Talk to her again. Enter the western room, and surf up. Watch the CD Rom,
then return to Narcissa’s house and talk to them again. Accept fast travel.
Follow the Rotom into the cave, then take the time crystal to the past. Interact with the safe here. Then, pull the lever in the top left
corner, hiding in boxes. Go down the ladder and out. Unlock the gate, and head in. Talk to her at the top, then the box.
After a scene, talk to Narcissa and agree to go. Enter the manor and head upstairs. Go through the back, then go upstairs again.
Make your way to the room at the bottom with the fireplace. After a scene, enter the fireplace, then talk to the safe after another
scene for a Fairy Memory. Exit to the well in the backyard.
This is another potentially tough fight, this time, difficult for opposite reasons than the Wailord. Its ability prevents stat loss, so our
normal strategy doesn’t work as well here. Luckily you can status it, so consider paralyzing it before it switches forms to slow it
down. Luckily Narcissa’s Gothitelle likes to use Light Screen on Turn 1, so take advantage of those turns to batter the shields! Luckily
the second form, if slowed by paralysis, doesn’t really have too high of defenses, so enough turns of hammering away with
Narcissa’s help should net you this win.
After a scene in Goldenleaf, you’ll be free to head to the Lost Castle. All the way at the top, you’ll get a chance to battle Rotom!
Fly to West Gearen and go talk to Gabriel at the West Gearen power plant. Follow him left then up then up again to get access to a
room where you can change Rotom’s form! You’ll also get the seventh Department Store Stamp!
On 7F, show the lady at the bottom your Gible and she’ll give you the Dark Core.
Exit the department store and fly over to Kristiline Town. Head up to the Isle of Angels and place the Dark Core on the pillar on the
island to encounter Deino. Sweet!
Fly to Sashila and make your way to the end of Sand Stream Cave the same way as we did earlier in the game. Once you have, in the
back room, grab:
ZCore 1: Sand Stream Cave
Fly back to Gearen and talk to Ayuda to get Zygarde 10%! It’s not even particularly better than the Gible we got earlier, but hey
another legendary!
Finally, to progress the story, return to the penthouse and talk to Melia. Say “Full time” for relationship points with Reina.
Chapter 15: Vague Clarity
Back inside, for relationship points, say “Count me in!” for 3 with Melia, 3 with Aelita, 3 with Ren, 2 with Venam, 6 with Alexandra,
say “I’m scared…” for 2 with Ren, 2 with Aelita, 2 with Erin, and 2 with Damien, or say “What are we talking about?” for minus points
with all these but plus 3 with Allen, funny enough.
Enter Alexandra’s secret passageway and enter at the top. Say “You mean Marianette?” for relationship points. Afterwards, prepare
yourself for a battle with Melia!
The good news is that you are given a couple options to make this fight work in your favor. For one, Steel moves also get a 1.5x
boost and hit dragons super effectively, so they hit half of her team hard. Snorlax with its berry will probably live one hit but doesn’t
particularly have synergy with the field, so if you can lower its attack or burn it, that may be your opportunity to set up. Normal
types are immune to Aegislash and Mimikyu’s Ghost Attacks, so since they are not the fastest in the world a speedy normal type
capable of knocking them out in one attack (after Disguise) might be the way to go. I might have cried when I saw that this field
made its way into this game, but if I can overcome it you can too!
Outside, talk to Melia again and say “Jenner was your father” for relationship points. Tell Alexandra you’re ready for training.
On Day 8, talk to Ren and say “Talk to her next time” for relationship points. In the battle room say, “I’m pumped!” for more
relationship points. Enter the rental battle with Venam. The strategy that worked for me was: Switch Manectric for Walrein,
Waterfall on Houndoom turn 1. Then turn 2 was Blizzard with Walrein and Waterfall on Dugtrio, turn 3 was mega + discharge,
waterfall on Dugtrio, then turn 4 was discharge + high horsepower to finish off Kingler.
On Day 11, head in to talk to Aelita, and say “The statues?” for relationship points. In the next prompt just don’t say “…” to maintain
relationship points. Interact with the obelisk! Inside it’s straightforward. You’ll get the Interceptor’s Wish!
Back in the league administration you’ll be thrusted into a 1v1 battle as Melia. Win or lose, it doesn’t matter. Outside, talk to Aelita
and say, “You’ll be the Sensei too!” for relationship points. Next is a fight with Ren, one that will pit you against Ren on a
disadvantageous field with a disadvantageous team. I chose the Fire team here and, while a tough battle, you can win by starting
with Marowak and Heatmor, targeting Slowbro and then sending in Pyroar to finish off Mantine then Dewgong with Wild Charges.
Sleep for the night!
Finally, we get to obtain the Mega-Z Ring! This allows us to use Z-Moves as well as Mega Evolve our Pokémon! In the following
question, the effects of each response are:
“Thank you everyone”: +1 Damien, Erin; +2 Melia, Ren; +3 Aelita, Alexandra
“I can’t believe it”: +1 Melia, Ren, Erin; +2 Aelita
“Cool, I guess”: -1 Melia, Erin, Venam, Ren; -2 Alexandra; +1 Aelita, +5 Allen, Alice (LOL)
Once you get control, take the time to fly over to Eclysia Pyramid if you’d like. Head up the stairs to the right and follow the path:
you’ll be able to fight Galarian Corsola up here!
Then, head back to League Administration. Interact with the thing at the table to choose how to proceed. I will be tackling Path 1
first, then Path 2.
On the boat, choose whether you’ll activate Interceptor’s Wish. If you do, Erin will be using your team, whereas if you don’t, she
uses hers. I will cover it as if you don’t activate it. Follow the path through the trench here.
Inside the manor, avoid the Regice, as you’ll have to fight them. Make your way through the path here and talk to Angie. Make it to
the baby’s room, then try to exit the bottom door you’ll reach from doing down from here. After a conversation with Kanon return
to the rooftop, then drop down the first spot on the roof you can from the right.
Inside, get the Dungeon Key and talk to the book. Then make your way all the way to the left side of the mansion and use the key to
enter the Ballroom.
Get the Dungeon Key up at the top of this room, then make your way back to the big hub room and use it to enter the courtyard.
Interact with the red tile and beat the maids as you follow the path. Enter the ship and head downstairs. Then, talk to Patty in the
nearby room and beat the maid, then head into the cave and talk to a maid looking at a wall. Return to Bonita, then head upstairs to
get another Dungeon Key.
Head up from here and watch a bunch of scenes play out. Back in the dungeon exit to the left. Back in the courtyard, head to the top
door to confront Angie.
As Melia, take a stroll around the town. Head into the Pokemart, then defeat Sariah.
In the grove, talk to the Arceus statue. Head down and prepare for a battle. You get to pick whether Ren or Venam is your partner,
or perhaps you can do it alone if you want.
Afterwards, return to the building and head upstairs. Head back out and go up when you’re ready.
Head up and into this building. Make your way up. When you reach the gatling gun, spam the up arrow. Enter the door after
defeating the mechs and grab the shining key. Enter the door on the right: read each letter in each open room and open the next
door. Finally, enter the last door in this area and go up. Make your way through and watch the scenes, and when you’re able, exit
back to where we started. Take the elevator up, then the second elevator to the Den of Souls.
Say “I had an idea” for relationship points. Head up and into the school.
Explore a bit, then head upstairs and talk to Huey. Say “That’s right” for relationship points. In a room at the bottom right is the…
bobsled club? If you can defeat all the students, you’ll be gifted the MegaStone Cameruptite!
Head back downstairs, where you’ll find Amber! You’ll be given Concert Tickets and Amber’s Letter! Talk to Saki in the cafeteria to
the right. Then, find Aelita upstairs.
Head outside. Enter this classroom to the left and use the ‘A’ key to do a group investigation in here. Back outside, you’ll find that
Zetta has taken up the shop.
Do a group investigation on the three entryway areas if you’d like, then head to the left area to give the Masked Men the password:
“Sorry”.
Downstairs talk to Ms. Erable, then to the student on the right with the “!” over his head. Say no to battling them, then you’ll battle.
Then say yes to the person on the left and return to Ms. Erable.
After all that, find the fifth door from the bottom on the third story, right side and enter “Dreamyard”. Enter Huey’s door!
Talk to the Rapidash rider then the girl in the bottom corner. Press the red panel here, then in the next area, follow the stairs to the
next panel. The third panel is all the way at the bottom from here. At the top, defeat the trainer then head to the right and fight her
again at the bottom. Then follow the path to finish Huey’s area.
Head outside and enter the pyramid. At the top left talk to the girl and agree to help. Then go left and across the bridge to make
friends with Grigus. Battle Huey, but intentionally lose to progress. You’ll be awarded 10 Phantom Candy S!
Grab the thing when you get a chance and head back to the main room to reassemble the bridge. Enter Aelita’s door!
Talk to both pink bookshelves then the pink plant. Then follow cyborg Deagan! Talk to each nurse from behind, then head out once
Deagan touches the sunflower.
Doctor Isha (Factory Field)
Galarian Weezing, Level 85. @ Rocky Helmet.
o Strange Steam
o Sludge Bomb
o Pain Split
o Flamethrower
Arctozolt, Level 86. @ Quick Claw.
o Bolt Beak
o Icicle Crash
o Rock Slide
o Ice Beam
Hydreigon, Level 87. @ Metronome.
o Dark Pulse
o Dragon Pulse
o Nasty Plot
o Roost
Easy enough for your team!
Once this part finishes up, interact with the box outside. Time for another battle!
Return to the auditorium, then reenter the Pyramid area where we fought Grigus, then return to the auditorium. Go up here, then
follow the path to Lavender’s door.
Enter the moon base and grab the crimson quartz in the upper room then heat it in the bottom. Head out… and we must run away
from Risa!! Don’t let yourself get hit too many times. Maneuver your way through the path, hitting switches as you go. Press the last
green switch then back into the hallway and go up. Get the thing here then push the button and head down and to the right.
Grapple to the right and then do so again. Follow the path to the yellow switch in here, then in the previous room head down.
Follow the path here to the green switch then return and go up. Through here you’ll have to fight Risa. This one is impossible with
Lavender’s team, but that’s ok.
Up in the next room try to escape, then interact with the panel. Now we have a real team for a real fight!
Talk to the masked man and you’ll be given a clue. Enter the classroom and do a group investigation. Return and try entering “ants
troubled” if you like. The actual answer is “student labor.”
Enter a room on the left and say you don’t want to battle to battle someone. Win to get Phantom Candy S and another Mysterious
Black Box. In the top left room answer the bottom answer, and you’ll get Phantom Candy M and another Mysterious Black Box. Try
to enter the machine in the lower area of the main room. Talk to it again. You’ll need to generate different students based on their
attributes, the chalkboards in the lower left classroom are the guide. So, make the following:
At the top of this area, say “of course!” to get relationship points.
Enter the door and say “You got this Amber” for relationship points.
Inside, complete the first few tasks just as we did as Aelita. Now enter the right-side door. Beat the scientists in here then pick up
the key and unlock the left door. Go down the elevator, into the door, and get the key. Use it back up from the elevator. Pick up the
final key and reenter the main hallway.
Say “I’m happy for you” for relationship points. Make your way all the way back to the auditorium as soon as you are prompted to.
Head upstairs. Interact with a terminal on the right. Your goal is to get the red box into the green space. With enough tinkering you
can figure it out. Do this at all the other terminals around the room.
After you finish, talk to the main table thing, then go around the room bashing suspicious walls. That is, any that don’t fit it with
what’s around them. Then return to the table.
Ask Risa if she is doing ok for relationship points. Then head upstairs and enter your building. Answer however you like.
Return to the underground to the broken machine in the upper left room. It’s time for a great sequence. Destroy all the robots you
can find, eventually making your way to the third floor. Bust your way through and say “My body yearns for more” for relationship
points. Take the teleporter then go up.
Head back to the teleporter and talk to the Saki door. Say “Kick ass, Saki” for relationship points here. Put the mannequins into
pods… yikes.
Head up and interact with the monitor thing. Then go up and talk to the box thing. Then input 7496 into the monitor. Talk to Amber
then push the red switch at the bottom then go down the newly opened stairs. Then when you return head out and go down the lift.
After learning about all this, it’s finally time to enter the player’s door!
This area is straight forward. When all is said and done, you’ll have to fight… your protagonist. Each protagonist has a different team.
They’re not insanely difficult, and you will succeed with the right strategy if you’ve made it here!
When you can, return upstairs and enter the stairs at the fountain. Follow the path to fight SEC again, who has a Shadow Machop.
SEC in the next room has a Shadow Clobbopus. Get the Fire Stone here then follow the path. On the left side of the area, you’ll be
able to grab a Nightmare Fuel.
Head up – it’s time to fight illusions. The correct answer for the first (for relationship points) is Erick 2. Next, the correct choice is
Aelita 1.
When you’re able to, say “I’m going too!” for relationship points. Head back up to Axis High.
Drowzee 35
Morelull 30
Koffing 10
Komala 10
Weezing 5
Shiinotic 4
Hypno 4
Munna 1
Sableye 1
Make your way to the left here as you fight puppet masters. Then after the scenes at the top, head down and to the right. Pick up
another Nightmare Fuel as you go. Tell Amber she is “Mega Cool” for relationship points. Return to take the teleporter.
Prepare yourself for a battle and head up.
That said, luckily there are no fairies this time, so Heat Wave + Sun can work well on most of the team. You can either anticipate the
Trick Room and bring a slow team or manage to somehow knock out or prevent Chandelure from moving on the first turn if you can.
The field effects are not ridiculously stacked against you this time though, so take advantage of Fairy Tale Field and you will find a
way to win.
Say “I’m so sorry.” for maximum relationship points. Head up and follow the path to obtain the ZCrystal Intercept-Z!
Now we get to play as Saki for a bit. Interact with all the … as well as Saki’s parents then pick up the phone in the upper left corner.
Back as the player, enter the first room. Say “I’m on it!” for relationship points.
Accept the fast travel to Axis. Head through the path then go back to the left. You’ll find Aevian Munna roaming about!
Flaaffy 30
Klang 20
Klinklang 5
Ampharos 5
Make sure you catch an Aevian Litwick to show to Zumi.
Make your way through the path to the left. There is a sneakily hidden door at the bottom of the left-most side, follow that down.
Make your way to the right and open a chest for 3 Green Shards. Then step on all three of the yellow switches and make them blue.
In the next area using the rail cart, step on the switch and open the chest for 3 Yellow Shards. Then follow Sakitron down from
where she starts. In this next area, use the rail carts to go left and step on the switch. Activate Sakitron, follow it and go left for Exp.
Candy XL. Defeat all the trainers in this area and a Dungeon Key will appear. Get it and open the nearby door. Head down, beat the
trainers and grab the Dungeon Key behind them. Use it above and jump in the hole.
If you can knock out Clefable, a speed boosted sweeper of some sort might be all you need to tear into his team. As before, your
own ghost types will do well here, and if you can knock out Chandelure some of the fire moves gain Ghost typing and a boost and
will tear through him.
Push the button and enter the teleporter. Go left then down and enter the newly opened door to get a Master Key.
Head into the gym door at the top and get ready for quite a battle.
That said, as one of the developers kindly told me when I was stuck, there is an advantage built in to the field! All the Pokemon
except Mega-Metagross are slow, and on Glitch field, the faster Pokemon has a +1 critical hit chance. This means that any Pokemon
holding a Razor Claw or Scope Lens that is faster than any of Saki’s Pokemon has a 50% chance of doing critical hits, meaning that
half of the time you can ignore the defense boosts granted by the seeds of Bronzong and Aggron. What’s more, a high crit move like
Night Slash will have a 100% chance of breaking through! Another strategy you can consider is bringing your own defensive
Pokemon. Just like with Saki’s team, defense will then translate to special attack, allowing you to hit hard Special type moves
(especially Fire). Physical type moves (especially Ground and Fighting) are also decent here, as the wonder room swaps Saki’s team
members’ relatively poor special defense to the defense stat.
In the scenes that follow, say “you got it bro” to Adam for relationship points.
Next, return to Sashila, and enter the second room on the right to talk to Crescent. Then enter the leftmost room to talk to everyone
else. We did it! Only side quests remain, for now.
Next, make your way to the Den of Souls via Goldenwood Grove. Head up to pick up the HP Up. Follow the path to the city area and
find a Revive on the left. Make your way to the 3rd HQ, and head to the 3rd floor. In the rooms with the notes, you can grab an
Antidote, a Full Heal, a Revival Herb. A room to the left has an Elixir in it. On the second floor, you can find a Max Potion.
Exit to the 3rd Layer. On the right is an Ultra Potion. Head to the left. We can surf here!

Wild Kabuto can also be found by surfing north here.
Head down and talk to the broken mech-Gyarados. Inside, you’ll get a Dragon Memory. Proceed left and pick up the Tiny
Mushroom.
Surf down at the bottom area. You’ll find Wild Omanyte here.
At the very bottom of the area, get what we really came for: TM149 Draining Kiss. Head all the way out the way we came in.
Head to Route 4: Cairo now has one more crest he’ll sell us for 14K Red Essence!
Before we continue, head over to the Botanical Gardens if Florin is still alive – if so, say “That’s great, Florin!” and “I’d love to” for
relationship points.
Finally, fly to Eclysia Pyramid and talk to Ryland on the summit for some relationship points!
That’s all the content in Rejuvenation! If you want to complete the dex as much as possible, read on. Thanks for reading.
Appendices
