Pokemon Grape Walkthrough - Guidetonote.com

Pokemon Grape is a unique gaming experience, a different version altogether. It is unique in the fact that it features THREE quests: the First Quest (up to the Pokémon League), the Second Quest (post-league) AND the mysterious Secret Quest (intertwined between the two). Pokemon Grape Walkthrough will list all information for Pokemon Grape v1.6 such as pokemon locations, trainer battles, item locations and more.

Full Details of Pokemon Grape Walkthrough

We are welcomed to the Frejo region by our humble tutor Professor Bek. Just seeing a Gen 3 Pokemon like Whismur in a hack of a Gen 1 game like Red version is truly something amazing to me. In colour no less. Bek tells us to see him in Rustel City.

FREJO REGION

Then we are in our room. Feel them old school vibes: got a desktop PC in the top left corner where you can withdraw 2 bottles of Fresh Water, a radio dropping 8bit tunes, a clock that has stopped, an N64 that’s still alive and well, an instruction book on the table and a Town Map on the wall near the stairs. We are in Paceleaf City. Downstairs we find Mom, she tells us to travel along a southern path to reach Rustel City. All good.

In the garage we’ll find our diary, containing some interesting information about us and our family: we’re a baseball player, someone named Paul was leader of our team but got fired, our parents are divorced and we had an older brother who is dead now, ambushed by Team Rocket. Damn, as if stealing people’s Pokemon isn’t enough for them. Also in the garage is a statue that’s currently possessed by a spirit, imagine that haha. It just tells us that there’s a Nuzlocke area here but no access for at the moment.

We can’t go north because there’s a gang riot, so for our own safety the guard won’t let us pass. But we can make a note of that tree to the right from her. South from our house is someone who’ll share some history about the 2 regions of this game, Frejo and Kelgo. Interesting twist for the Pokemon League here, it has been fought over by the 2 regions for a long time. Because of Frejo stealing some land centuries ago and resulting in all kinds of trouble, the League decided to create a competition where each region selects a rookie Trainer who will be a contender. The one who wins will gain control of the League. So guess who Frejo’s contender is…yes, YOU!

Make a note of the western side, we’ll be back once we can Surf. Leaving town now for Route 51.

Prof. Bek greets us as soon as we get here. He’s happy about us joining the competition and leads us to his Lab so we can receive our Starter Pokemon. Also at the Lab waiting to receive his own is that guy Paul. Well now, look who’s going to be a couple of sentences short of saying “Smell ya later!” 🙂 already displaying that classic Rival snootiness. He even looks like a certain classic Rival with that hairstyle haha. While we’re on this classic trip, let’s look at those Starters:

CHARMANDER – The Lizard Pokemon
Level: 5
Type: Fire
Moves: Scratch, Growl

SQUIRTLE – The Tinyturtle Pokemon
Level: 5
Type: Water
Moves: Tackle, Tail Whip

BULBASAUR – The Seed Pokemon
Level: 5
Type: Grass/Poison
Moves: Tackle, Growl

Pick one and watch as Paul gets the stronger type, as expected. When we try to leave he stops us and we get into the first of who-knows-how-many battles against him. Cue that battle theme!

RIVAL BATTLE

Rival Paul

Lv5 Starter
Prize: P175

He leaves, sounding a little deflated. Until the next one. Prof. Bek says the PokeMart owner wants to see us. Before you go, have a look at Bek’s computer on the left. There’s information about a new legendary Pokemon named Driadjin, which has a teleportation power that could put Abra to shame. Noted.

I’ve forgotten how almost empty a city or town from the Gen 1 days can look while cruising down the streets haha, I am now so used to seeing people out and about and finding houses to walk into. The PokeCenter is south from the Lab while the Mart is east. We’ll receive a Parcel for the good professor. Return to the Lab with the Parcel, deliver it and we see Paul return because Bek has some news for us: the Pokemon League Mainframe has been destroyed by some bad guys, which has erased all the Pokemon data! Wow…no backups, League guys?? So we’ll be getting that data back the old fashioned way – by filling up a PokeDex. Gotta catch every Pokemon in this region. You’re asking for a small miracle there Prof. Bek but we’ll do our best. Bek also reveals that Paul is the chosen contender for the Kelgo region. I was hoping there would be another character we meet later who’s the contender, to keep the mystery going…but Paul will have to do. We have to defeat the Elite 4 in order to be king of the League. Gotta collect those 8 Gym Badges first, starting with the one in Megan City. No prob– Paul says he doesn’t care about completing the PokeDex and smashes his! How much does a PokeDex cost these days?? He drops another bomb – his father is Team Rocket’s Boss. Giovanni…or do we have a new boss to worry about? Paul will be waiting for us on Route 61 for another battle.

We can return to the Mart to do some shopping now:

At the PokeCenter, if you got P500 to spare speak to the shady fellow on the left who is selling a “talking cactus”. That cactus is a Level 5 Mareep. Good deal…? To the right is a Youngster who has information about a man who can help us. He’s in a wheelchair that teleports across this region.

There’s a tree blocking the way out of town to the south. To the west is the entrance to Mt. Lyre. Shall we have a look?

ENTRANCE/EXIT AREA

Can’t move up or down for some reason? You’re not stuck, no glitch or anything, we’ve gone older school in this place: side-scroller level old school 🙂 not too bad. Go all the way to left, jump over the gap using the B button, and climb up the ladder. End of the very brief side-scrolling adventure.

AREA 2

Got the first Trainer here just a few steps above from the ladder. No names here, just call him Hiker.

Lv4 Diglett [Ground]

Lv6 Weedle [Bug/Poison]
Prize: P60

He tells us the name of the Megan City Gym Leader, some crazy dude named Elias. How crazy though…and should we be worried? Southwest from him is a pool of water, just a shortcut back to the ladder. Go east for the Lass and another ladder near her. She’s not too fond of our baseball team haha.

Lass

Lv8 Vulpix [Fire]
Prize: P120

The ladder takes us to another side-scroller area but as we climb up we can’t hold onto it because it’s slippery. Odd. Past the ladder you’ll find an Emergency Exit and a Potion above it. Below the Exit is another ladder. The Exit will send us back to Route 51. For now we’re done with this section of Mt. Lyre, time to leave.

To reach the grassy area of Route 51 you have to make use of the path which starts north from Bek’s Lab.

Return home to find the northern exit is open now. It’s in this area where the Gym is located. 5th Gym, led by Slye. The PokeCenter, not yet complete, is here too. There’s also an old man roaming near the skinny tree, he’ll teach you how to catch Pokemon. Carry on west for Route 61.

RIVAL BATTLE

Rival Paul

Lv5 Pidgey [Normal/Flying]
Lv8 Starter
Prize: P280

BATTLE NOTES:

Pidgey Moves: Tackle, Gust, Sand-Attack, XXX

He vows to have his revenge and goes away to fight another day. Just to the left is the Pacesea Villa that Paul thought we were looking for.

PACESEA VILLA

HMs needed: Surf.

In the room on the left you’ll find a pair of Grip Gloves on one of the beds. Neat, we’ll try them out on that ladder in Mt. Lyre. In the area on the right we’ll see an item on a table (a Heal Ball) but we can’t reach it until we can surf to it. Carry on north to meet a Scientist and a Team Rocket Grunt who won’t let us through.

Scientist

Lv5 Rattata [Normal]
Lv5 Mankey [Fighting]
Prize: P250

BATTLE NOTES:

Scientist has 3 Dire Hits.

Rocket

Lv9 Houndour [Dark/Fire]
Prize: P360

They won’t be going anywhere for now but we got the Gloves so race back to Mt. Lyre and we climb up that ladder. From there just scroll on over to the right and descend the next ladder we find.

Now we’re on the eastern side of this area, you see the Emergency Exit just above us. That item on top of the rocky platform on the right is the first TM pick up, TM09 (Bullet Seed). It is a Wood-type move now. There are a lot of cool features in this game, but reusable TMs is not among them. Next Trainer is right below.

Super Nerd

Lv6 Voltorb [Electric]
Lv6 Grimer [Poison]
Prize: P150

Checking out that rock which is blocking the ladder, it is breakable. Noted.

Bug Catcher

Further on north from him is a Potion and a Lass. Bellsprout is a Wood/Grass-type. But why though…?

Lass

Next to her is a ladder taking us under and then to the exit. Got a surprise Gambler waiting outside.

Gambler

Lv12 Growlithe [Fire]
Lv12 Vulpix [Fire]
Prize: P840

It is a shortcut to Rustel City but is of no use right now because we don’t have HM Cut. Wind back up to the PokeCenter, there’s a Super Nerd just to the south from it and a Lass just on the left of the building. The Nerd has a Koffing, it is Poison/Gas-type now.

Past that first Nerd is another one. Did these guys switch Pokemon in and out this much back in the day?? Because seriously, I battle this next guy and it reaches a point where he’s switching between those 2 Voltorb again and again, haha! Ridiculous!

Continue on west for more Trainer action.

No time to catch our breath, because someone needs our help: Gym Leader Elias is causing trouble! We’ll get to him, let’s look around first and see what else is going on here.

North exit is blocked by a tree. The big building to the northeast is blocked by the guy who takes us to the Gym.

At the Megan City Rookie Trainer Hall, we win a prize if we can defeat the other rookies. Shall we?

Nothing to worry about on the ground floor, head upstairs.

Fantastic, go on up to collect the prize – an S.S. Ticket!

MEGAN MUSEUM OF SCIENCE

The woman on the left side of the Museum says scientists built a subway between the Museum and a place called Silten Forest. P50 to visit the Museum and see some fossils, learn a bit about “PikaBlu” or what could be a Marill…and a Scientist who can’t see any secret door here. Hmm, is that door how we get to the other side of the front desk?

Speaking of secrets, at the PokeCenter we hear that there’s a secret passage in the Mega Mart. No luck finding it when I checked the Mart here. I’m guessing this Mega Mart is a Dept. Store somewhere?

Now for the Gym.

MEGAN CITY GYM

Leader: Elias – The Poisonous Shady Alchemist

He has been toying around with the types that he specialises in, Poison and Gas. Simple Gym, got one Gym Trainer. Looks like Paul’s been here too. Our turn now.

Jr. Trainer(M)

Lv16 Ekans [Poison]
Lv16 Venonat [Bug/Poison]
Prize: P320

**BATTLE NOTES:

Jr. Trainer has 2 Dire Hits.

Dude gets fired before we get that prize money xD, that’s rough. I have a Pidgey and normally it would’ve had no problem sweeping Venonat away with Gust, but nope, the move just had to be switched from Flying-type to Wind-type…which works against Gas-type, but still :/ Whenever you’re ready carry on and speak to Elias, the man of science. Let’s get that first Badge!

GYM BATTLE

Leader Elias

Lv17 Koffing [Poison/Gas]
Lv20 Arbok [Poison]
Prizes: P1980 + Acid Badge + TM07 (Freezebreath)

**BATTLE NOTES:

Koffing Moves: Poison Gas, Smog, Smokescreen, Selfdestruction

Arbok Moves: Leer, Bite, Freezebreath, Poison Sting

Got it 🙂 Thanks to the Acid Badge we can use Flash. Freezebreath is a Gas-type move, in another universe TM07 is Hail. Next Gym is in Cherry City. Although we haven’t stopped Elias from potentially poisoning the city, I think it’s safe to say he’ll be on his best behaviour from now on.

In the house we couldn’t reach, northeast of town, we find out about a Fish Factory that’s on Route 55. Despite the huge stink, it’s worth checking out apparently. Let’s head over there then we’ll move on up to Cherry City. Get ready and head south.

Quite a messy joint we got here. The first person we meet looks to be a guard, he tells us that a Trainer stole the Chief’s Pokemon. Who could that be, hmm? In the northeast corner are stairs heading up. On the next floor we meet the thief – Paul. He won’t give the Pokemon back because they’re rare and strong. So we’ll use some force.

RIVAL BATTLE

Rival Paul

**BATTLE NOTES:

The Johto Starter which Paul adds to his team depends on the Kanto Starter that you chose:

Squirtle -> Cyndaquil
Charmander -> Chikorita
Bulbasaur -> Totodile

A big thank you to Pokemon Community member Donkan94 for sharing this information with me, I wasn’t aware xD.

Pidgeotto Moves: Gust, Sand-Attack, Quick Attack, ???

Gastly Moves: Astonish, Hypnosis, Night Shade, Confuse Ray

The Chief is injured but he has an HM which Paul forgot to steal. He gives us 2 choices before he leaves, abandon the Chief to follow Paul or save him. Climb up those stairs to a small room where we meet the Chief. He’s perfectly fine, turns out Paul just tricked us so he could escape. Escaping without the HM01 (Cut) that we get from the Chief. Leave the room, go to the left for another set of stairs that lead to a short corridor where there’s the exit on the left. Head north for Cherry.

Team Rocket have swept through here, as seen in the first house before going on into town. They hit the Clothing Shop too. We can’t explore the eastern side of town without the Badge which activates Cut. Can’t go out west onto Route 54 too, same issue.

In the big house just south from the PokeCenter is a woman named Peach who’ll give us a Town Map, finally. Speak to the Hiker in the PokeCenter for an interesting bit about Team Rocket and perhaps the man who is the new boss, named Kifflom. He saved the last members of Team Rocket when they were lost in the Alps and so the Epsilon was created. For those of you who don’t get the little nod, Epsilon and Kifflom are from a little game called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The Epislon Program is a parody of Scientology and if I remember correctly Kifflom is the silly word used by members for greeting 🙂 good old San Andreas, still a much better game than GTA 5 or this GTA Online nonsense that’s around now haha, don’t you dare argue xD. Anyway this links to what the Junior outside the Trade Center (northwest from the PokeCenter) says about a place called the P1234 Lodge. Noted.

TRADE CENTER

In the Trade Center speak to the man in the middle of the room to receive the legendary Itemfinder. Only 2 people are looking to trade: the woman by the southeast machines who wants a Vulpix for a Seedot and the almost-Paul lookalike near the southwest machines who has a Whismur if you got Abra. The computers to the west and east have information about the Legendary Beasts Enter, Raikou and Suicune. They are to blame for the Fish Factory accident but their whereabouts are unknown. The Sailor by the northeast machines survived a shipwreck of the S.S. Concord, whose remains are on Route 71.

That’s all we can do on this side of town, we can’t go west to Route 54 until we can Cut so we are headed north for Route 62. That woman near the town exit mentions a shady-sounding place called Fracture Hill. Dark because it’s a dangerous spot…or because we’ll need some light to explore it? Both??

The woman here collects relics, we’ll make a note of her for later. Now to explore the Basement.

There’s someone in the top right corner area which we can’t reach at the moment. Who is that? No stairs here connected to those near him. Bottom right corner has another man who says we can use a Lighter as an alternative to Flash. That’s good news right there. Make use of those stairs on the left and before you know it, we’re back outside but now on that hill south of the Mega Mart. If you continue south you’ll find a Bug Catcher who is studying the Epsilon Tract. Go back up and aim for the Gym, but we don’t even get to the door before Paul walks out to meet us. What exactly are you up to, man?

For some reason he tells us not to bring a Porygon and an Itemfinder to the Control Room. Huh. In the actual room above the Engineer is the Main Frame (!) and there’s a message written:

“Please be advised not to bring any kind of Porygon due to security concerns. If it is undispensable, please do not put it in the 1st party position. Also, do not bring any Itemfinder because its waves are unknown to have unpredictable effects on this device.”

Interesting, make a note of this. We’ll be back at some point. Return to Cherry City and head west.

Then there’s a flooded area, we pass a small lake with an item (Trade Stone) on a jetty. Come back for it when you can Surf. We’ll learn more about Team Rocket from the lady living in the house next to the incomplete (?) PokeCenter. She has seen them hanging around a place called Wizard Peak, which could have a secret exit. Noted. Next stop is Gadow City.

There are unexplored areas of Wizard Peak that are underwater.
Team Rocket have succeeded in kidnapping Mr. Abe (!)
A female Trainer on Route 71 is carrying a Lighter. Wizard Peak is connected to that route.
A Vietnamese Pokemon Ranger lives here, but his house could be the one on the hill in the southeast area. He’s got HM04 Strength.
We hear about the Lavender Syndrome at the PokeCenter. It’s caused by the gas of Ghost-type Pokemon.

At the Gadow City PokeMates Foundation, likely to be run by Mr. Abe, the guy we speak to says Mr. Abe is in south Frejo. Nothing else, when you’re ready let’s enter the cave.

Go on north to the opening, then left in the next area for the opening which takes to the other side of the waterfall in the first area. We’ll need Surf and Strength to explore the right side of that next area. Inside that minecart is a Lighter! I didn’t expect that, thought we’d jump into the cart. Use the Lighter and bring a little brightness to this super grey cave. The exit is just below.

The side-scrolling action returns, make your way to the bottom and proceed to the right until you have to move up a couple of ladders and head left, where you’ll pick up a Shiny Ball. After that you just need to go all the way east to reach the exit…but once we get to Route 60 we’ll find a Snorlax blocking access to a house – in the previous update we could enter that house and receive HM02 (Fly). But now Snorlax is in the way haha, damn. Head back to Cherry City and go east onto Route 61. Cross the bridge which leads to a small building, nothing of note is inside except a PokeBall statue that has an invisible wall tile above it. Odd. Exit the building and pop up in the area south of the Pacesea Villa. Don’t bother going back inside, the Rocket Grunt and Scientist are still there. Cross the bridge and step back into Paceleaf City. If you need to visit Mom no problem, make sure you’ve got the Lighter with you and then carry on east and into the Gate. The guard says one of Prof. Bek’s aides came through, he’s upstairs. If you got 50 or more Pokemon he’ll give you the Exp. Share.

Outside we’re ambushed by a Youngster. Welcome to Route 57 🙂

Come back when you can surf and reach the island southwest from the PokeCenter. A Sailor there is looking to trade his Tropius for a Victreebel.

Hear a short horror story from the Pokemon Fan Club Chairman to get a Kart Voucher. Interesting, because the eastern exit leads to Route 58 and the Cycling Road.

The Fishing Guru lives just east of the PokeMart.

The Snorkel Police have left a notice near that exit, about a certain sleeping Pokemon that has blocked off Route 64, cutting the link to Quartz Town.

Bob, who lives in the northeast house, has a girlfriend named Joanna who is trapped on Route 73. He can’t save her because he doesn’t have HM Fly. Maybe we can help later.

Flash that S.S. Ticket by the Port so we can board the S.S. Aqua. On the way to the ship is a lone truck and above it is the legendary Mew! It ain’t going anywhere, right? Surely it’ll wait until we come back later, right?? Because there’s nothing we can do about that truck at the moment.

S.S. AQUA

The passangers are Trainers so put your game face on and let’s meet them, starting with the top right cabin and going counter-clockwise:

That’s a Shiny Stone on the table below him. In the top left cabin is a Gentleman who shows us the image of a Pokemon he’s never seen anything like – Uranytar. Looks mighty familiar, doesn’t it? According to the Readme, it evolves from Pupitar via something called a Star Gene. Continue to the bottom left cabin.

Gentleman

Lass

**BATTLE NOTES:

She’s the last one, go down the stairs. We’ll find the dining hall and the entrance to the kitchen is on the south side of the hall. In the kitchen check the bottom bin for a Dope Ball. To the left from the hall are stairs which lead to the Captain’s cabin. Captain Akab is his name and he has a favour to ask of us: get back his Mist Stone that was stolen by a violet-haired thief. He’ll give us something in exchange for retrieving it. Is this Paul up to no good again?? Damn. Nothing else for us to do on the boat, head back to town and prepare for the Gym.

SNORKEL CITY GYM

Leader: Liquid – The Water Master of Nuzlocke

…hold on, Liquid?? He’s a major character from the Metal Gear Solid video game series. Now he’s here leading a Gym that specialises in Water-types. There are stairs on the left but they lead to closed doors, so speak to the Gentleman up ahead from the Gym Guide guy. He’s definitely walking on that water…and that’s the least of our problems now:

Gentleman

L24 Poliwhirl [Water]
Prize: P1680

…because we have invisible walls/glassy platforms here like we’re in Koga’s Gym. If you’re not a fan of codes, well this could be one time where the Walk through Walls code would be of use…but it doesn’t work in this game (^^!) so you have to look carefully at the water to see the invisible divisions and the paths. Let’s try to work our way through:

After facing the Gentleman go back onto the entrance platform then go to the left side and back onto the water. Go up until you hit an invisible wall then left, up, left, down, left and down to fight the Sailor.

Sailor

Lv20 Chinchou [Water/Electric]
Lv20 Wooper [Water/Ground]
Prize: P600

He’ll give a hint about the glassy platforms. They got edges which are visible somehow. Get onto the water from the left side of the Sailor, take a few steps up until you can’t continue then one step to the right, 2 steps up then to the wall on the left, go up until you can’t go further, a few steps to the right then up onto the platform. There’s an empty trash bin, step onto the water from the bottom right edge below the bin and go down until you can’t continue. Then a few steps to the right, a few steps up, 1 step right, up until you can’t continue, a few steps to the right, down and continue going right and down until you reach the southeast corner of the room to battle the second Sailor.

Sailor

Lv21 Seel [Water]
Lv21 Marill [Water/Fairy]
Prize: P630

He tells us that the Epsilon Program is taught at a school in Buris City. Noted. Back onto the water from the right side of the Sailor, making your way to the northeast platform where we find Liquid. He says he knew our brother and says he was a good pupil. Killed in a swamp by Team Rocket…

Good grief, the JET-SKI Badge?? Come on, haha. It at least grants us usage of Fly so I’ll let the name slide (for now). Next Gym is in Buris City. Use the stairs next to Liquid to return to the entrance platform.

That Pokemon above the Gym is a Rhydon on patrol. We’re done with Snorkel City for now, heal up if you have to and then head east to Route 58. The signboard which you’ll see just before exiting Snorkel is a notice from the Snorkel Police:

“Route 64 may be blocked off by a sleeping Pokemon. Connection to Quartz Town may be unavailable.”

Uh-oh.

He tells us that HM03 (Surf) is in Quartz Town. Noted. Just up above from him is the Gate leading to Cycling Road/Route 59. Upstairs is a Chef who is looking to trade his Torkoal for a Tauros. As for that building near the Bird Keeper, it leads to an underground passage that connects this route to Route 63. I thought this route ended with Cycling Road but it looks like we can march on 🙂

East from the guard is another Gate, where we learn from the guard there about a big mansion in Quartz Town that used to be owned by Kifflom until he moved to his new Dungeon. Gotta have a Dungeon if you are to be taken seriously as a supervillain. Upstairs there is Prof. Bek’s aide, if you have 70 or more Pokemon he’ll give you the Super Rod. As as extra after giving it to us he’ll tell us that Frejo has 5 seas, each with different Pokemon we can fish for. Also up here is someone looking to trade his Aerodactyl for a Pidgeot. Step out and enter Route 64.

Come back when you can surf to get that item on the left [TM19 Giga Drain]. They are big fans of a legendary Fisherman named Sampei. Will we get to meet this fella at some point? Further south is a signboard indicating that we’ve reached the Frejo-Altek Border…and blocking the rest of the way from us is a wild snoring Snorlax 🙂 great spot to catch some Zees.

Go back to Route 63 and travel south from the lone guard there. Head up and then down the hill to reach the entrance to the Battle Tower.

[BATTLE TOWER

Unfortunately it isn’t operational yet, but you can have a little tour of the place. The Leader here is on the rooftop, he guesses that this place will work in the next version of the game (he said this in v1.5 xD! Which “next version” is he talking about??). Outside the tower, top right corner, is a Psychic who stole Captain Akab’s Mist Stone! From the way he’s talking he might as well be Silver haha. He failed to conquer the tower and he failed to get rid of the Mist Stone, which he thinks could be cursed, because it keeps coming back to him. What he wants is a Heavy Brick. Noted. We can’t confront him or anything for now so leave him be and go south from the tower to the Gate. Upstairs is a female guard who gives us TM31 (Triple Kick). Out of the Gate and onto Route 65, which connects Route 63 to Route 66.

The big building we see on the right as we head south is the Grape Mansion. You’ll also see a tree blocking a path above the building, make a note of that. For now go south to the main entrance.

GRAPE MANSION

On the 1st Floor (Haxxor’s Hall) we meet an old woman who thanks us for playing 80C’s game. Indeed, he certainly put a lot into it. S’good 🙂 there’s also a sculpture of a deity.

2nd Floor (Cutting Floor) has an active PC.

3rd Floor (Beta Testing Room), we find a couple of Beta Testers and Uac.Dario who helped 80C. If you complete the PokeDex, come back here. Exit the mansion and head back up to the blocked path to access the back entrance. Climb up to the rooftop and enter the penthouse, we’ll find 80C here. He says we can take the Pokemon that’s on the table (a Lv20 Bagon). On the blackboard is information related to the Game Link Cable and on the table is a pamphlet about TMs.

South from the Mansion is the Route 65 Underground Path building. This too has a back entrance, which I stumbled through while running around in the grass. In the back room is a man named Wally and because we found him he unlocks a secret location for us – the PokeGod Factory (?!). Access to it found in the Uri Tunnel. I had to read up on PokeGods because this is the very first time I’m finding out about them. Now Pikablu makes sense 🙂 for those of you who don’t know, PokeGods were basically non-canon Pokemon from the Gen 1 era that were outside of the original 150 species, although Mew (#151) is considered a PokeGod. Back then you would have to play around with Gameshark codes to obtain a PokeGod, but the codes were glitches too so talk about double-edged sword 🙂 Since there’s a whole factory for them in this game, I am curious to see what’s there. Those stairs just lead back outside.

Hold off on going underground, continue south. To the right is an item by the trees, it’s a Trade Stone. To reach it you’ll have wind around from the right jetty below. In the house we find out that the Underground Path leads to south Frejo. There’s also someone looking to trade his Phantump for a Cubone. On the left jetty is a Medical Kit. The right side jetty leads to a path that connects to another jetty, from there we can see an item ball below but can’t reach it yet until we can Surf. Head up and let’s go underground. Inside is a girl who wants to trade her Drilbur for a Diglett. The woman at the other end of the passage warns us about the Rage Sisters. Who are they? Step outside and meet them, be ready for 3 back to back battles!

Straight ahead after the Gate is Gondwan City but the little path north leads to Spooky Swamp. Didn’t our brother get killed by Team Rocket in a swamp?

Make a note of that boy who asks about trading cards on the Mart 2nd floor, he’ll play a part in a quest later.

No worries about going back to Spooky Swamp because in town we’ll find out that it is currently haunted by Ghosts that cause the Lavender Syndrome which we first heard about in Gadow City. We’ll explore it when we’ve got that Ghost Scope.

More bad news – we need Surf in order to reach the Gym :/ the building next to it is the Fishing Guru’s House. If you already got the Super Rod, congratulations, now you’ve completed the trio 🙂 that back entrance in the house leads to Route 56. Nothing to be done there except fish since we can’t surf yet.

Swap that Kart Voucher for a Kart at the Gondwan City Racing Shop. This place might as well be a showroom, look at all these vehicles! This reminds me of GTA: San Andreas 🙂 the only thing missing here is a dollar sign outside the building that shows the income slowing rising.

Lanette lives next door from the PokeCenter. It’s interesting to note that this is Lanette before she moves to Hoenn and is in charge of the PC Storage System there. Nice nod to the Gen 3 games.

A pair of Rockets and an old man have taken over the house east from Lanette’s. At first I thought that was Mr. Abe but nope, these guys own a casino and the previous owner of the house couldn’t pay their debt.

That’s all for now. When you’re good to go, march on west to see a little bit of Route 67.

Mighty city we got here, let’s look around:

A swarm of Snorlax, try to imagine that…because we find out that there’s Snorlaxmania sweeping through the region after some of them escaped from the Safari Zone xD, that explains the two which we’ve seen so far. In the PokeCenter we first hear about the legendary PokeFlute, but who has it though?

At the Buris Pokemon School we’ll get a chance to read someone’s copy of the Epsilon Tract and pick up some very useful information, including Kifflom’s big plan involving that legendary Pokemon Driadjin. The Epsilon Program’s cove is located in a cave near a very old town and we’ll need Strength and Surf. Noted and noted.

South from the PokeMart is Hotel California, which is for adults only!Learn some Braille from the blind man sitted by the front desk. What’s shown in Braille is what he’ll say after our character shows that he doesn’t understand. To the right from him is the Item Diviner lady, she’ll point out what the last item you used was. Interesting news is in the magazine near her:

The PokeBall Factory is on Route 56
The Devon Spa (yeah, THAT Devon from Hoenn) will be giving the Buris Casino a Master Ball as a special prize.
Black market PokeBalls to look out for: Clone Ball, Dope Ball and the Snag Ball.

The Spirit of Statues is back, this time to possess the signpost just southeast from the Hotel. It says in order to reach the Gym we must find a secret switch in the Racket Game Corner. If you went south from the PokeCenter you’ll see the Gym.

There’s also another signpost near the PokeMart with a notice from the Pokemon League – new Gym Leader for Buris City is a woman named Grace and Normal-type will be the speciality.

On the hill west from the PokeMart is an old man who’ll give us TM43 Wood Hammer when we can reach him later. Gotta have surf. There’s the Diner, where we get the Coin Case from the man in the top left corner. He’s the one whose house is occupied now by those Rockets, damn man.

RACKET GAME CORNER

That’s right, Racket is for Team Racket. Another shady outfit we may have to worry about haha, these guys are from the Kohto region. You can buy Coins for P1000 from the counter on the left. Speak to some of the patrons and check the trash bins in the corners to get a few. The Gym Guide guy is here too, tells us that the Gym actually specialises in the Fairy-type but Grace may use her old team. The double doors lead to the next room where we can check out these sweet prizes:

Johto Starters 100 Coins each
Tyrogue 1000 Coins
Espeon 5000 Coins
Umbreon 5000 Coins
TM10 (Body Slam) 3000 Coins
Rare Candy 300 Coins
Master Ball 9999 Coins

Happy gambling (or code hunting)! 🙂 That poster next to the double doors has the secret switch we’re here for. It will move one of the machines on the right, revealing hidden steps going below. It’s an empty area down here, you’d think this is where peeps have their poker games. Continue along the corridor to the right, you’ll find another trash bin next to some machines. There are 100 Coins in there. On the northeast side of the room is a Rocket Grunt who isn’t exactly too thrilled to see us 🙂

Rocket

He runs off, allowing us to proceed on out of this area. In the next room, check the trash bin for 100 Coins and then stepoutside. Now we are near the Gym. Let’s get to work!

Paul is in a swamp holding a hostage, and there’s only one swamp we know of. Gotta prove ourselves to Grace first. No problem, so begins the battle for Badge #4!

SPOOKY SWAMP

-ENTRANCE AREA-

There’s a warp tile on the right, it’ll take us to the actual swamp.

-AREA A-

Pokemon Found (Lv22-32)

Grimer [Poison]
Murkrow [Dark/Flying]

Channeler

Lv24 Misdreavus [Ghost]
Prize: P720

Below from her is Rare Candy. South from the other Channeler are stairs going (probably 6 feet) under but we are stopped by the voice of Prof. Bek, telling us to turn off the console because the mission is over!! I believe this is a reference to Metal Gear Solid 2 haha, don’t turn off your console or emulator! Or you’ll join the many, many people who actually did that while playing MGS 2 back in the day. Then we hear Mom warning us about screwing up our eyes because we’re too close to the screen. Bek continues with a story about meeting a strange Pokemon. When we say we don’t understand, the source of these voices shows itself – a Ghost! The Scope does its magic and reveals a Level 50 Scyther boss!

SCYTHER – The Mantis Pokemon
Type: Bug/Wind
Moves: X-Scissor, Slash, Swords Dance, Guillotine

It was our brother’s Pokemon. Defeat it if you can or try to Run. The Ghost turns out to be our brother Steven (though we call him Steuben). With the time he has left he tells us about how he died. Starting from when he joined Team Rocket in an attempt to try and change things to coming back to Frejo after the Silph Co. events and being lost with his fellow Rockets in the Alps along Route 64 and meeting Kifflom and setting up the Epsilom Program. Now it’s up to us to stop the corrupt Pokemon League and Kifflom. We’re not sure if all this is even real. It’s all in our head and then the voice disappears. What a mental trip. Down the stairs.

The man is up ahead and…he’s totally fine..? He came here alone, the kidnapping story was a lie. What the…Mr. Abe teleports with us back to his house in Gadow City. He gives us the PokeFlute, so we can deal with the two Snorlax. It’s good that we’re back in Gadow, because we can simply go back through Wizard Peak then the Wormhole Cave and back to Route 60 to take on the first Snorlax. Catch or defeat it, your choice 🙂

SNORLAX – The Sleeping Pokemon
Level: 30
Type: Normal
Moves: Headbutt, Rest, Body Slam, Amnesia

Enter the house and receive HM02 Fly from the woman, she had been trapped in here all along xD. Now we can get around faster, so fly back to Rustel and go south back to the PokeBall Factory. Make sure to have the Itemfinder and move Porygon to 1st position in the party.

In the Control Room, after interacting with the Main Frame computer we will use the Itemfinder and a gate somewhere is opened. Congratulations, you’ve just hacked the Main Frame in the right way 🙂 Leave the Control Room and continue north all the way from the Burglar to the area with computers. There’s a door that was hidden before now revealed, it leads to a small corridor with 2 portraits. If you try to pass the first one you’ll be stopped. Only someone named Regina and her associates can be here. Leave the corridor and cross over to the east side of the factory, the gate which blocked this area from us is gone.

Complete with a frozen floor on the left for some sliding action. Bring an Eevee and level it up here to get Glaceon. At the moment we can’t make it to the upper left side across the floor to pick up the item there – TM14 (Blizzard), unless of course you got that Walk through Walls code. But in the middle of the frozen floor is a patch which isn’t frozen. You cross it with Surf. Slide on to the lower left side and continue west to find a King’s Rock. Then go south for two more frozen floors, side by side, and bigger than that first one.

There are more unfrozen patches here, one near the middle of the second floor, two near the bottom right corner where there’s a Metal Coat, and one in the bottom left area where you pick up a Star Gene. The exit is in the south. Slide your way through, we’ve successfully crossed the border and entered the Altek region, stepping out into the first town of Quartz.

Warm little town, isn’t it? Let’s look around this small portion available to us until we get that HM Surf.

You can do more shopping in the house on the left from the PokeCenter:

Fast Ball P1000 Cottage P10000
Net Ball P1000 Escape Rope P550
Nest Ball P1000 Everstone P200
Lighter P450 Shiny Stone P3200

The Cottage works like the classic RPG ones, they heal your whole team. Obviously they can only be used outdoors and in natural environments like caves, tunnels etc.

South from the PokeCenter though is the home of a plot theorist, who gives some curious bits of information. That bit about the Ranger having a massive black magic book could be worth noting, there’s only one Ranger we’ve heard about and he lives in Gadow City.

The Alpine Mansion was never completed and is now a den for thieves. Let’s pay them a visit 🙂

On the right and top right are rooms which are locked, while in the bottom right corner is another entrance/exit, also blocked off. Top left corner has a PokeBall statue with a switch. Pressing it unlocks the top right room, where we can pick up a King’s Rock. But the passage leading to the bottom right has been closed now while that room is open so after getting that King’s Rock go back to hit that switch and let’s move on to the next floor.

They lead to a western room where we pick up a Razor Fang. After that go back to 2F, there’s another room near the bottom right corner which also has upward stairs, yet currently locked. Hit the switch again to unlock it then return to 3F. Go up to find another Burglar roaming near a northern room.

Burglar

Lv38 Ninetales [Fire/Light] (holding Stardust)

He’s looking for the greenhouse (?). There’s a statue in the north room but don’t press it yet, carry on to the right for the other rooms. One is occupied but locked, the top right one has a note with this message:

“…Seven hidden doors connect the Hidden Palace.”

On the table is a Razor Claw. Bottom right corner room has stairs going down and a leap off spot, both take us back to 2F’s central room where there’s a note on a table near water. This note says:

“…The seven Power Gems can unlock the sealed doors of Crystal Island.”

Back to 3F, press the north room switch and go on to face a Scientist who is in the middle room.

Burglar

Lv40 Umbreon [Dark] (holding a Sitrus Berry)
Prize: P3600

He tells us that there’s drainage damage here but the switches can reactivate the water pumps. North from him is another switch to unlock the path going left. On the right is TM22 Solarbeam across some water. Left has another item across water, TM41 Sky Attack. Bottom left has one more note:

“I, Steelhan, agree to merge Team Rocket with the Epsilonists.”
In Date: August 1998.

Hmm, this is the same Steelhan who sent that Rocket to stop us outside the Mega Mart. It’s interesting that this note is from last year (the game is set in 1999). Below the note is the real prize here HM03 (Surf)!

We’re done here for now, exit the Mansion. We got the HM, so let’s go get the right Badge – back home in Paceleaf City 🙂

PACELEAF CITY GYM

Leader: Slye – The Master of Obscure Arts

Epsilon Program, wizards and now we got ninjas! Dark-type is the theme here. 6 Gym Trainers present and 4 of them are waiting to hit us with a 4-way ambush.

Use of Surf outside of battle granted, excellent! Travelling has just stepped up to the next gear and we can backtrack for stuff and exploration too now. Slye also tells us that Team Rocket is looking for weapons so they’ll be targeting a weapons facility. Gym Guide guy brings up the name of someone named Kamina, who’s somewhere in this region. Where though?

Exit the Gym and let’s try out Surf while we’re here. On the western jetty is a Fisherman who gives us TM37 Dream Eater. You can head back to the Pacesea Villa to pick up the Heal Ball.

Fly back to Cherry City and head north to Route 62. We can now reach an island on the northwest side, it’s occupied by a male Junior.

**BATTLE NOTES:

I think for now let’s continue with our journey, at least to collect the remaining Badges, then we’ll do a proper backtrack before marching on to the League. Gym #6 is the one which we couldn’t reach without Surf in Gondwan City so fly back there and prepare yourselves.

GONDWAN CITY GYM

Leader: Waspia – The Queen of the Hive!

It’s only fitting that a Bug-type Gym is designed like a forest…but did it have to be like Fracture Hill? Oh and there are warp tiles too, like we’re back in Sabrina’s Gym. Brace yourselves, if you weren’t a fan of that Gym back in the day, well…

The Entrance Area warp tile takes us to what we’ll call Area 1. There are 4 tiles and we’ve just appeared from the top right one.

Bug Catcher #1

Lv40 Butterfree [Bug/Flying] (holding a Sitrus Berry)
Lv40 Beedrill [Bug/Poison] (holding a Sitrus Berry)

Lv34 Parasect [Bug/Grass] (holding a Mushroom)
Lv34 Beedrill [Bug/Poison] (holding a Sitrus Berry)
Lv34 Yanma [Bug/Flying] (holding Stardust)

From this area the correct path to Waspia is:
Bottom left tile -> top left tile (Area 3) -> top right tile (Area 4)

If you’re ready for Waspia then go to her area now and skip down the next paragraphs to that battle. But if you want to continue taking on the other Gym Trainers, let’s carry on. The top right tile leads to Area 5 and Bug Catcher #2 (we appear in this area from the bottom left tile).

Nice, Badge #6 makes traded Pokemon obey us up to Level 70. And it looks like we may have gotten ourselves a another girl on the side hahaha, erm…just don’t tell Keira about this.

Now we can continue further along Route 67, so prepare for that. Also, be sure to go to the Mart and buy either a Fresh Water, a Lemonade or a PokeCola. We’ll make use of that very soon. Then when you’re ready head west.

After surfing for a bit you’ll reach a jetty occupied by this Hiker.

Then go back to the platform to take on the male Junior and a couple of Bug Catchers.

In previous versions of the game we could just storm into the Weapon Depot and clean house but now there’s a Rocket Grunt blocking the entrance. He says he isn’t afraid of the Bounty Killer who is in Hardat City, one of the places in the Kelgo region next door. Until we find this Bounty Killer, the Grunt won’t move. How do we get to Kelgo? First we must return to Gondwan and then head south onto Route 69 a.k.a Gondwan Beach.

That cave entrance leads back into the National Tunnel.

ENTRANCE/EXIT ROOM

The sign says we can buy a Mining Kit in a place called Haven City, we use that to dig up items like Stones or maybe find rare items. The man here says there are underwater caves in Frejo but we’ll need that famous HM to explore them. Down the ladder we go.

-LOWER AREA-

And this place is another one which we’ll come back to when we got that HM, see the Dive spot in the pool on the left. That man rocking the shades on the right is Kamina! He just says he has a plan that involves going up towards the surface, which apparently doesn’t exist according to us xD. North of the pool is a Nugget. On the western side is a ladder going up to a side-scroll level where we’ll journey across the railtrack.

On the other side of the gap we’ll meet a guy busy at work on a minecart railroad system. Bottom left from him is a Protector. Top left is another side-scroll level ladder.

The guard that we find here warns us about lava pits ahead. Go all the way west until you see a guard standing below a ladder. No passports needed, nice. Up the ladder and out of the cave. Welcome to Kelgo!

Our very first stop in Kelgo, what does Haven City have to offer?

Leon is Lanette’s cousin and reveals that actually he’s the one who invented the Frejo PC Storage System. Lanette’s probably not going to like that haha. Leon wants our help – he says that he’s got a genetic illness and he must use the Gene Swap machine which we see here. Did he borrow this from Bill perhaps? Leon goes into one of the pods and after we press random buttons by the computer he steps out of the other pod…as a woman (!?) Didn’t see that one coming xD, plus Leon had the wrong sample too. He decides to remain in his new form, with a new name too – Elza – and thanks us with a Train Pass. In the previous versions we would’ve received the Grip Shoes instead. Elza might be a reference to the iconic character from the highly popular manga/anime series Fairy Tail, maybe you know of it 🙂 It’s pretty good. From now on the Pokemon Storage becomes Elza’s PC.

The Fishing Guru’s youngest brother is the guy walking near the southern house by the water. His brother is teaching him how to Dive, so he can try to get back his girlfriend’s Gold Watch that is lost at sea. Go into the house and receive HM06 (Dive) from the brother. The Beatle Badge from Gondwan City is required for it so if you haven’t already gotten that Badge be sure to get it as soon as you can.

The Hiker in the Mart has some interesting info, says he saw something shiny on top of Mt. Lyre. Something invisible. Noted. Also to be noted is the boy on the right side of the room, who says he won a Pokemon Trading Cards tournament.

In the Train Station is a man selling the Kanto Starters:

Bulbasaur P5100
Charmander P5300
Squirtle P5200

Make a note of him and save your money, you’ll be doing business with him at some point.

In the previous versions, that house just southeast from the Train Station was blocked by the guard because he would say that there’s radioactive material on the route ahead (Route 76). But now he has stepped aside and we can enter the house to reach Route 76. Don’t bother with that for now because beyond that route is Haven Forest, which is occupied by Sages who won’t let us pass until we’ve defeated all the Trainers in 4 specific locations: the PokeBall Factory, the Fast Ship (S.S. Aqua), the Fish Factory and Turtle Rock. So far we’ve only defeated all the Trainers at the first 2 locations.

On the western side of Haven City is another guard who is roaming near a building with no door. She says there are riots going on near Turtle Rock…but she tells us NOT to access it via the hotspring, which is found in the PokeComCenter.

The guy found in every PokeCenter, sitting near the front desk, is Dave the wheelchair boy we heard about. We finally get his name. There’s a 2-person long queue by the video phone because the man in front is asleep. It should go without saying that the PokeFlute will not wake him up, even with all the crazy things we’ve seen in this game so far haha. In the bottom right corner is an old guy who lost in a the Pokemon Trading Cards Tournament and he’s not taking that loss very well, he’s looking for an Escape Rope now. You can help him out by giving him one and in exchange he’ll give you his Pokemon Cards, which are part of the Rainbow Deck. But don’t feel bad, he admits to being a rapist in his younger days. I had a few Pokemon Cards many, many years ago but it was a case of being in the wrong place because the trading cards weren’t a thing here (it was mainly Pokemon Tazos) so no tournaments and no chance to dive into that section of the Pokemon universe. Keep those Pokemon Cards in Storage if you have to, we’ll need them for a special quest later.

For P300 you can visit the hotspring a.k.a Ember Spa. Heal your party in the middle of the occupied pool. There is some curious writing on the rock wall between the other pools but it can only be read by the Ghost Scope:

FIRST COMES SQUIRTLE. LAST COMES CHARMANDER.

Remember the Starter Vendor? Get those 2 Pokemon, come back to the Hotsprings, put Squirtle in the 1st position of your party and Charmander in 6th position then read the message again. A secret opening will appear on the left. We really are lucky in this version because previously you needed Blastoise and Charizard 🙂 If you’re short on cash, you can get P3000 from your girlfriend Keira back in Paceleaf City. Apparently she’s a secret billionaire, according to the game’s ReadMe xD.

The good news is we’ve defeated all the Trainers in Turtle Rock, so that leaves the ones occupying the Fish Factory. Head back to Frejo by Train (when you’re in the Train, interact with the switch that’s on the north wall in order to travel). Fly back to Megan City, add the PokeFlute to your Bag, make sure your party has a Pokemon that can Dive then go south to Route 55. Surf all the way down to find a jetty occupied by this gentleman:

On the south side is another exit, ignore it for now and go north to confront the Rocket Grunt-looking Cooltrainer.

**BATTLE NOTES:

She has 1 Hyper Potion.

This disciple of Epsilon and her crew polluted the water here with radioactive stuff. Great job guys :/ continue into the north room and check out what we find here – the Legendary Beasts! But they look to be under some kind of spell and need to be woken up. Examine that square platform on the floor and then we’ll automatically step onto it before playing the PokeFlute. The 3 Pokemon awaken and take off, free from whatever spell they were under. Now go for that south exit and leave the factory. All the Trainers there have been defeated 🙂 also, if you return to the Main Area of the factory you’ll find a warp tile in the area where the Dive spot is, that tile is just a shortcut back to the East Entrance/Exit room.

Our journey continues south from the Fish Factory, back into the water to meet this guy and his Kingdra:

Prize: P1260

Both paths lead to land and the north Silten City Gate. Route 55 has now been explored, we go back to Haven City and head east to Haven Forest and beyond.

ROUTE 76

Not much here, no Trainers and no Pokemon. Just a railroad, a tunnel and the entrance to Haven Forest, occupied by folks who are part of Hare Khrishna (I’m guessing that’s a section of Hindu or something?). Those are the Sages. How bad could they be?

HAVEN FOREST

I remember this place being blue, now it’s green! The first two Sages that we find here will help if you want to reset the clock or randomly change the time. Continue through the forest, the next 4 Sages are the ones who want us to defeat all those Trainers. They’ll let us pass now. Make a note of the graveyard that you’ll see just after passing Sage #5, we’ll come back to it once we have Strength. Except for the surprise mini shrub maze just before meeting the last Sage, this is a pretty straightforward stroll. The exit is just below the Sage.

We’ll reappear on Route 76, this time near a construction site and just outside the Gate leading into Hardat City. That construction doesn’t look like it’s going to be completed anytime soon, maybe whatever is being built will play a role in the version of Grape which has the entire Kelgo region…whenever that will come out, eh? xD. The Gate is a Council Estate, owned by a woman who used to be quite the Trainer. She mentions that her biography “Pokemon Wisteria” is incomplete and on the table is Wisteria’s Map, I wasn’t sure what this was a reference to until I checked online. Turns out there’s a playable demo of a fangame called Pokemon Wisteria, maybe some of you might know of it. Looks interesting, having modern features set in Gold/Silver/Crystal graphics. Also found in the lobby of the Gate are some photos on the wall, one of them is of James. The other 2 characters, Malna the Night Tripper and an unnamed Trainer from a town called Lapis, I don’t recognise. Let’s step into town shall we?

Southeast from her house is the Pokemon Smeller’s place. From Move Tutors, Move Deleters, Breeders, Name Raters and now we have a bona fide Smeller. Unbelievable. She’ll identify the last Pokemon you encountered based on its lingering smell (even if the last Pokemon you may have encountered was in the previous version??). On her computer is a picture of you, Lara and Keira.

The guard in the northwest corner of town has some information about Route 75, once complete it’ll be a sky route. Interesting. As for the guard south of the PokeCenter says Route 89 is closed because of wild whirlpools appearing from nowhere.

The Move Tutor is in the north area of town. No Heart Scales necessary, he’ll teach your Pokemon moves for P300. Nice picture of a place called Crystal Island on his computer.

There is a Gym here but no way into it and the Gym Leader, Precious the Light-type specialist, is currently serving a 10-year jail sentence. What the…

In the PokeCenter, by a desk in the northwest section is Joe the Bounty Killer. He’ll take care of that Rocket Grunt outside of the Weapon Depot if we give him P3000. Pay the man and watch as he makes the call to one of his associates to do the job. Simple, practical delegation right there ladies and gentleman haha our Grunt problem is no longer a problem now.

If you got that S.S. Ticket with you, visit the Harbour. The S.S. Aqua is present and is one more method of transport that we can use to cross between regions. You do that by taking a nap in your cabin (the top left room). Otherwise there’s nothing else to do here, it’s the same setup as when the ship is in Snorkel City. The down side is that the trip is one way so make sure your business in Kelgo is done first.

Once you’re back in Frejo prepare for the Weapon Depot and head over there. Bring along the Grip Gloves with you.

SILTEN CITY WEAPON DEPOT

-1F-

Here come those memories of Silph Co. from back in the day. This 1st floor is large, on the left side is a warp tile but it’s an Exit tile from somewhere up stairs. On the right side though, mind those darker coloured tiles, it’s not there for decoration. They’re laser pads and if you step on them you’ll be sent back outside. The idea is to reach the stairs at the center of that mini maze, they lead to the 3 basement areas.

-B1F-

Just a guy who’s hiding, smart move. Next stairs.

-B2F-

The next stairs are at the end of that middle path, just blocked by a Rocket.

**NOTE:

I had taught one of my Pokemon Thief in order to check for items held by opponents. At some point I’d given that Pokemon a King’s Rock and forgot all about it until I reached 4F (^^”) sorry about that. If you can find out what items are being held by the upcoming Rockets and Scientists please contact me as soon as possible so that I add in that information. Email – [email protected]

Rocket

Lv35 Drowzee [Psychic]
Lv35 Hypno [Psychic]
Lv35 Rhydon [Rock/Bone]
Prize: P1400

There’s a Max Revive in the northwest corner of the room, if you want it you’ll have to circle round to get it. Then exit the room and come back so that the Grunt returns to his place.

-B3F-

That item on the bottom right is a Full Heal. We’re aiming for the doorway at the northern end of the room. Got a Rocket on the left and a Scientist in the middle. Follow the path to the Rocket, deal with him and then you can circle round to confront the Scientist from the north side. Be warned, that Electrode of his is set to Selfdestruct at any given chance.

Rocket

Lv38 Sandslash [Ground]
Lv38 Machamp [Fighting]
Prize: P1520

Scientist

Lv42 Electrode [Electric/Light]
Prize: P2100

The stairs lead back to 1F, this time we appear in the northwest area. There’s a statue with a switch on. Pressing it deactivates the laser pads. If you need to exit the building to heal up or anything, you can do so and come back without worrying about the pads resetting. The next set of stairs are on the left.

-2F-

No laser pads here, instead we get slide tiles/arrow pads this time. Of the first 3 pads that we can reach, step on the one pointing left. We’ll be sent spinning all the way south to stairs going below where we can pick up an Escape Rope. After getting it slide back to the start and use the downward pointing pad, which takes us to a Rocket on the left.

Rocket

Lv34 Gligar [Ground/Flying]
Lv34 Weezing [Poison/Gas]
Lv34 Arbok [Poison]
Lv34 Houndoom [Dark/Fire]
Lv34 Crobat [Poison/Flying]

We can’t access the north portion of the room because of the arrows, so go to the left where there’s a Rocket and a way out to the balcony.

Rocket

Lv40 Marowak [Bone]
Lv40 Hypno [Psychic]
Prize: P1600

-3F BALCONY-

Without those Grip Gloves your 1st position Pokemon would be instantly frozen as soon as you’re out here because of a cold wind blowing over. The Rocket we meet first is Rocket Brother #2.

Rocket

Lv38 Golbat [Poison/Flying]
Lv38 Nidoking [Poison/Ground]
Prize: P1520

In the bottom right corner from him is an X Accuracy. The next Rocket is in between the middle tables, it’s the same guy whose Grip Gloves we found at the Villa. Safe to tell him that they work just fine 🙂

By the top left table is an HP Up and a Scientist.

**BATTLE NOTES:

He has 1 Hyper Potion.

Make use of the PC if you need to. Continue along that corridor to reach stairs that lead back to 3F’s upper side with the arrow pads pointing down. The woman there will give us TM04 (Amnesia). Back to the office so we can confront the Boss and get smacked with a massive plot twist – Steelhan is the Boss…and our brother! How, what, when, why?? We either join him or die.

BOSS BATTLE

Steelhan

Lv45 Magnezone [Electric/Steel] (holding a Sitrus Berry)
Lv46 Onix [Rock/Ground] (holding a Nugget)

And that means Paul is our nephew (!) Let that sink in for a bit. He warns about the competition being a plot that we have to stop. Then he has to leave before the cops roll up. What’s his deal now? Speak to the President, who is upset about us spoiling his major deal with Team Rocket. Well, you’re welcome…? They were here to deliver weapons to the Kelgo army. What could possibly go wrong if that had continued, eh? So now he says that the people whom he owes money will be coming after us, and to help us out he gives us the Grip Shoes. Then he tells us that the competition is just a cover story and the war is set to go on. Only one way for us to stop it – beating the Pokemon League. Exit the Weapon Depot using the warp tile in the office, Team Rocket is out of the way and that allows us to finally visit the Gym. Ready?

Prize: P440

**BATTLE NOTES:

He has 2 Hyper Potions.

We’ll reach the stream on the left, surf up to find a Net Ball. That Scientist that you see as you surf down isn’t a Trainer, he just tells us that he found some fossils here thanks to the Itemfinder. Continue south until you can get onto the western bank and reach a hill with a Psychic on it. The Gate leading out of the forest is only a few more steps below.

Psychic

Lv42 Hypno [Psychic] (holding Stardust)
Lv42 Exeggutor [Wood/Psychic] (holding a Sitrus Berry)
Lv42 Xatu [Psychic/Flying] (holding a Lum Berry)
Prize: P420

**BATTLE NOTES:

He has 1 Hyper Potion.

He stands near the Silten Forest Shrine, dedicated to the forest’s protectors, but it is currently empty. Make a note of it for later. Enter the Gate, the guard says the Dragon Shrine is at the end of a tunnel that we reach via those stairs below. This is unexpected, a Dragon Shrine?

Go down the stairs, then upstairs and we arrive in a blue room. Pretty fancy looking. The man on the left is looking to trade his Bagon for a Dratini. The man on the right has some information the Hidden Palace that we found notes about in the Alpine Mansion: 7 Power Gems are in the Hidden Palace and they unlock Crystal Island. Then there’s the man up ahead, he’ll teach us the almighty Falcon Punch, which grants us the power of the almighty Rock SMASH (if there are any My Hero Academia fans out there among you, you’re welcome). One rock we could try this on is in Mt. Lyre, remember? Leaving via the exit below leads back to the forest and this time we’ll be north from the Gate. You’ll find a Metal Coat on the left near the roof of the Dragon Shrine.

Climb the hill and circle round to where that fossil-finding Scientist is, you’ll find a Mushroom near him. Back up the hill and go northeast where you’ll see stairs going underground. They lead to the subway we heard about, connecting the forest to the Megan Museum of Science. One of the Scientists will give us the Claw Fossil (Anorith is revived from this). Return to the Silten Forest Gate and exit.

Home of Badge #8 for the Frejo region, let’s have a look around:

At the Pokemon Center we learn that there is an item called the Rock Drill which has the same function as a Mining Pick but doesn’t break after one time usage. Dave recommends that we explore the Safari Zone, because apparently a powerful Legendary Pokemon is in the 5th Area. Very interesting. Be sure to have the Grip Shoes with you, we’re going to need them soon.

The Lauras City Fossil Lab is in the southeastern section of town. The first Scientist that we meet is looking to trade his Aron for a Pikachu. The second Scientist will revive fossils for us.

To reach the Gym we must survive Lauras Cave but don’t go in there just yet because we lack the Strength for it.

Southwest has the main entrance for the Safari Zone. How does the Frejo Safari Zone fair against other Safari Zones I wonder?

SAFARI ZONE

**HMs needed: Surf, Strength.

Speak to the lady at the front desk for information. There are 5 zones, and just like the classic Safari Zone there is limited time (500 steps) and we’ll receive 30 Safari Balls. Each zone has different Pokemon so make sure to have an empty PC Box ready. And of course, it’s P500 to get in. Hold on, I gotta find my wallet…

On the hill when we enter this area, behind the trees on the left is a Cottage. Go right, down the hill and continue going south until we are back in Area 2. We’ll end up on the north ledge that has an item – TM29 Psychic. Back to the hill in Area 3 and circle round going to the northwest and then northeast to descend the hill. There’s a signpost with a notice saying Area 5 is closed until next year. Really? You’ll see the Area 3 Rest House just below. Carry on east for Area 4. That signpost can’t be serious.

Up that hill on the right, you’ll see the Rest House. This one has a healing machine if you need its service. Head south then southwest from the Rest House to find a King’s Rock near some trees. Then head east and south to return to Area 1, we pop up on the cliff above the Rest House and can now reach the item that we saw earlier – the Translator! Excellent. Back to Area 4 and jump off the ledge south of the Rest House and head north, if you go northwest all the way you’ll have to jump off another ledge in order to reach TM05 Mega Horn. On the northeast side is a ladder going under.

We’ll be back with HM Strength to move that boulder, because there’s a metal pad switch on the west side of the room which is connected to a barrier that is on the south side hill. For now though there are 2 more Trainers and items that we can get to. Below the boulder is another Cooltrainer and a Cottage.

We’re done for now, leave the Safari Zone when you’re ready. We’ve got the Translator which the Ranger needs, but we can’t reach his house normally in Gadow City. Instead we’ll have to go through Uri Tunnel in order to get to the house. So we’re going back to Route 65 and finish exploring it now that we can Surf.

From the 2 jetties that are south of the Grape Mansion, surf down from the right side jetty to find the 3rd and final relic – Aqua Relic (this gets you TM48 Hyper Voice from the Relic hunter lady at the Mega Mart) and then continue south from the left side jetty. At the end of the path is the entrance to the Uri Tunnel. Descend the stairs and get ready for some side-scroller antics – black and white style!

This just reminds me of the first Super Mario Bros. game, you know? Being in one of Bowser’s castles, getting lost and worrying about time running out. Go all the way to the bottom of those ladders and then continue west until you see a short ladder going south, that’s the secret entrance to the PokeGod Factory.

POKEGOD FACTORY

Even the guard that we meet is surprised to see us here, can’t blame him haha this seems so random. That office near him is the Warehouse, go in and pick up a Grape Stone (oO?) According to the Readme it’s used to make a PokeGod, somehow 🙂 next door is the Zombie Lab, where there’s an actual zombie pacing around (?!). Close that door, you saw nothing! Next area is the Research Room, a few researchers are present. One of the computers has a note about a planned sequel for Grape called Pokemon Peach. Maybe let’s talk about sequels after the rest of the Kelgo region is made available 🙂 The Gentleman on the left side of the room claims to be “the uncle who works for Nintendo and knows every secret…” Do we make a note of this or he’s another NPC talking out of their backside xD? You never know with this game. The Scientist on the right says they’ve invented a Stone which only evolves one Pokemon species. Above him is a photo of Captain Akab, that’s interesting. That’s all for the PokeGod Factory. Back to Uri Tunnel and continue west. Eventually we’ll pop out near the hill where the Pokemon Ranger lives. Go into the house and give him the Translator (he puts it into his mouth like a certain Safari Zone Warden haha) and the man can speak normally again. He’ll then give us HM04 Strength and that means our HM collection is now complete. Try out Strength on that boulder and get that Dope Ball. The Ranger asks if we’ve heard of the Grape Lodge, the Hidden Palace or Captain Akab. Grape Lodge? That’s new, where is it located? On display is a Mist Stone and the Necronomicon (!) hmm, so that Theorist was right…

Just to get us some extra EXP before we tackle the Lauras City Gym, how about we tackle another Gym first? The Quartz Town Gym, remember that one? We couldn’t surf yet when we were there but we can now, so head over to Quartz and surf to the western side of town. If you’d like to do a bit of shopping before stepping into the Gym, enter the house next door:

LAURAS CITY GYM

Leader: ??? – The Awesome Giant Made of Steel! (hint, hint 😀 )

Good grief, have we just walked into a Lego playset maze?? Not bad 🙂 everything indeed is awesome. Steel-type is major type here but Gym Trainers use other types like Rock or Bone. No problem. Also, watch out for the red tiles. They will poison your 1st position Pokemon if you step on them.

From the entrance go north, as you go up stay on the right side to avoid a red tile and you’ll reach our first opponent. The item above him is TM47 Steel Wing.

Surprise, surprise…or not 🙂 Seems we’re too late, Team Rocket have sent the weapons to the Kelgo Army. We try to tell him that he was tricked by Kifflom and this is all for starting a war to trigger Driadjin…but Steelhan won’t believe us, there’s only one thing left to do to make him regain his senses. Good luck!

Iron Tail was made by our Dad before he passed away (!) Steelhan suggests that we go to the Pacesea Villa to update Paul. Kelgo’s leader is working with Kifflom, Steelhan says he’ll stop Kifflom. Then a moment he disappears. With all the Gym Badges acquired now, the Pokemon League is that much closer. After you’ve healed up and everything go back into Lauras Cave, let’s see where that other ladder leads.

-LAURAS CAVE B1F-

That is Rare Candy on the left side of that pool. The exit is just below, we’ll come out on the southeast hill in town. Carry on east to descend the hill back onto Route 70. The path eventually returns to the sea but we’re on the south side.

And at the end of this brief detour is the Power Plant. Well, well.

Still an ominous place, even in a new region. On the right is a Level 40 Voltorb pretending to be an item ball, of course 🙂 Go to the left, we’ll find two item balls on a table. The left one is TM25 Thunder and the right one is another Level 40 Voltorb. Continue along the corridor until we find an item ball on a counter, that’s a Level 50 Electrode. In the next room we’ll find an Electrizer surrounded by boxes. Carry on all the way to the right end to battle another Level 50 Electrode. Go northwest, along the way you’ll see item ball between two machines – it’s a Level 50 Magneton. There’s another item ball in the bottom left end of this corridor – that’s a Level 50 Electrode. Just a few steps above that is a Max Revive next to two machines.

Further up, sandwiched between a box and a machine is a Level 55 Electrode. We’ll then find two item balls between crates. Nugget on the right, Level 60 Electrode on the left. Reach the northeast area and check out Level 50 Zapdos! Below Zapdos is a Fast Ball in the bottom right corner and stairs on the left that warp us outside. You can attempt to catch it now or come back when you’re ready, at least you know where to find it.

When you are done here exit the Power Plant and fly back to Paceleaf City, we’re going to confront Paul. At the same spot on Route 61 where we battled Paul for the second time we’ll meet him again and tell him about the Competition being a plot and everything but he already knows. Naturally he’s not too happy about us being his uncle and so we fight. Can’t pick your family for sure 🙂

The Rocket and Scientist are gone now. We’ll need a Card Key to access that top left room. Upstairs is TM11 Gas Bomb. Before we go back to Lauras City and continue to Route 71, there’s some backtracking to be done first since we’ve got all the HMs. Fly back to Rustel City and go south to Route 56 so that we finish exploring that area, we couldn’t do it before because we didn’t have Surf yet. South of the PokeBall Factory we’ll reach a jetty occupied by these two:

Just follow the ladders all the way to the top and exit out on Route 54. Go all the way east, ending up back in Cherry City, until you reach a building blocked by a Rocket Grunt. He just tells us to read the Epsilon Tract and that only V.I.Ps can enter this sacred temple. Make a note of this place, we’ll come back later. Return to Wizard Peak 1F and aim for the Dive spot, let’s finally find out what is down below.

On the right is a frozen floor, you can slide onto it from either the bottom, the middle or top sides. Slide onto it from the bottom, once you’re on the ice slide down, right, up, right, down, left and up to get off the ice. Continue north until you reach a signboard and a ladder. The sign says Restricted Area and we should cross at our own risk. It can’t be that bad, right? Climb the ladder to enter a small room which is occupied by Lv50 Articuno! Try to catch it or come back later for it.

[arti] ARTICUNO – The Freeze Pokemon
Level: 50
Type: Ice/Flying
Moves: Mist, Wing Attack, Icy Wing, Ice Beam
Item Held: BrightPowder

Afterwards exit the small room, leap off the ledge on the left and jump into that “Ebola Source” hole, which warps us back outside to the entrance/exit on Route 71. We’ve got Strength now so return to Kelgo and let’s finish exploring Turtle Rock.

Get to the east side of the room, you’ll find a boulder between 2 rocks. Push it up then all the way to the left and up until it is diagonal with a minecart at the top. Push the boulder to the left (skip the first downward path) then down the second path until it is diagonal with the Juggler. Push it to the left then down until it is 2 tiles below the Blackbelt, at this point you can see the floor switch below the next Juggler. We’re aiming for that switch. Push the boulder to the right until it reaches the gap leading to the Juggler, stop there and go back up to the top side of the room then come down to push the boulder onto the switch. Doing this creates an opening through the barrier which is to the right of the Tamer in the southeast side of the room. There’s another switch near that Tamer and a boulder close by, make sure to move the boulder onto that switch. This gives us access to the southeast corner where you’ll find a Magmarizer. After that come back and carry on beyond the barrier into a small tunnel that leads us to the northeast section where we find a Snag Ball (be sure to hold onto it, put in Storage if you have to) and Level 50 Moltres! The decision is yours 🙂

[molt] MOLTRES – The Flame Pokemon
Level: 50
Type: Fire/Flying
Moves: Fury Attack, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, Flame Wheel
Item Held: BrightPowder

While we’re in this region, head to the cemetery in Haven Forest. Use Strength to move the centre-right tombstone in the middle row and reveal a set of stairs that lead to a secret area occupied by Hardat City’s infamous Barber! For P500 he’ll make your Pokemon look so fresh and so clean to raise up that Friendship 🙂

Afterwards return to our home region and back to Snorkel City to push aside that track by the dock and meet Level 50 Mew.

MEW – The New Species Pokemon

If you surf up along the left side of the route you’ll reach a house where Bob’s stranded girlfriend Joanna is. Sadly there’s nothing we can do to get her out of here but make a note of where this house is. Return to the main path and continue north, after meeting the guard who asks for the Spell Badge go left and carry on up to the Victory Road Gate. The guard in there warns us about the place we are going towards – the Panopticon. It is described to be a 4 dimensional maze that is divided into a surface area and an underground area, with pitfalls along the way. The guard on the left is blocking the way to the border. The Panopticon…how bad could it be?

Umm, yeah…it’s pretty bad xD, I spent quite some time wandering around this place. So please excuse the “shortcut” style guide I’ve got for it. It’ll make sense as you follow it along:

From entrance, go south then turn right. Continue down and take first left turn to a ladder. New area (Underground Area A). Climb down two ladders until you reach the level that has a switch sticking out of the left side wall (let’s call this Switch #1). Pull the switch, it unlocks the path on the upper level of this Area but blocks access to the ladder on right. Climb back up and use the ladder on the upper level, it takes us back outside. Follow the path and take the first left turn, as you go left you’ll see a ladder on the top side, ignore it because it’s a shortcut back to the start of this maze. Instead just stick with the current path as it goes left, south, left, then up until you see another ladder above you. Climb it, we return to Underground Area A but this time we’re on the eastern side of the upper level. Descend the next two ladders until you reach a bottom level that has a switch in the wall on the right (Switch #2). Pulling it blocks the ladder which brought us to that level but a new path is unlocked on the left. Cross over to the left and pull Switch #1, then climb back to the upper level and go all the way to the right. Descend the ladder and continue going to the right, this time there’s a bridge for us to walk over a gap with water below. Climb the ladder up and we’re back outside in a new section.

Go up then turn left and jump off the ledge, then continue going left to jump off another ledge. Follow the path south to another ladder. Now we’re in Underground Area B, descend the next ladders all the way to the lower level. Once down there we’ll see a woman on a level above us but we can’t reach her. Go left, climb the next ladders to a level lower than this one and then go left until we reach a point where we have to surf across. On the other side is a switch above a ladder (Switch #3), pull it then surf back and climb up the unlocked ladder to pull Switch #2 and then go left for Switch #1. Climb back up to the upper level and then simply make your way southeast to that woman we saw earlier, we can reach her now. This is Melissa, she was thrown down here by some unknown guy who was wearing a baseball cap (who could that be…because aren’t we wearing one…?). She’ll give us TM27 Fissure as a reward. Climb the ladders back up to the northeast section and climb the ladder in the top right corner back outside.

Now we are near an item on the right (Snag Ball). Be aware that if you want it, once you jump off that ledge to pick it you’ll have to work through that underground area puzzle again to make it back here. Otherwise, skip the Snag Ball and instead jump down the ledge on the left and then another ledge before climbing the top ladder for exit. PHEW. That probably shaved off a couple of years from anyone’s lifespan! We appear in another Gate, exit and we’re back on Route 73. Surf up and reach Nalta’s Plateau – the doorstep before the League.

We have finally arrived at the League ladies and gentlemen, what a journey it has been. Make your last minute preparations and know that we will be facing the Elite 4 in a set order. Old school style 🙂 when you’re ready head for the stairs. Our first opponent is Bonita, she is a fan of Bone-type Pokemon.

Afterwards the woman faints, she’s just had a heart attack (?!) We’ll have to leave her here, there’s nothing we can do to help. The next area is on board a ship. As soon as you arrive look to the right, you’ll see a white pole which seems to be blocking access to the rest of the ship. Make a note of that pole for later. The final Elite 4 member is Matix, who is not only skilled with Wood-type Pokemon but he is the leader of Frejo and the man in charge of our baseball team! Unbelievable. He’s the one who chose us for this competition and wants us to join in the invasion of Kelgo. We refuse.

We also find out that Paul has already won and is now leading the League! The war will still go on. Heal up your team if you need to because once you enter the cabin we’ll go straight into talking with Paul. We tell him that the League’s plans have failed but he has another plan – the AKS a.k.a the Ash Ketchum Simulation. Our adventures have been modeled after Ash’s adventure, the real one isn’t around, and now Paul has become the new Ash. Where, how, what, why?? We have to stop our foolish nephew right here, right now!

Paul comes to his senses, realising that he’s also been manipulated from the beginning. Someone has been trying to create the perfect Trainer, but who?? Prof. Bek shows up to congratulate us…and unmask. He’s the real leader of Frejo and the organiser of all this! To create a new Ash who can defeat Kifflom. But why though…? So, so random. Then we follow Bek into the Hall of Fame room and the credits roll. Which award-winning team did I go into the Hall of Fame with? Nothing fancy, it’s just a working team to help me get the walkthrough done 🙂 but for the curious ones among you:

Houndoom (initially this was the Thief user but I changed Pokemon)
Vileplume (Cut user)
Snorlax (Strength user and became the current Thief user)
Clefable (knows attacks of multiple types, very handy)
Pidgeot (gotta have some quality air transport, yo!)
Blastoise (Dive and Surf user)

Congratulations on becoming the League Champion! What a packed main game that was, right? Amazing stuff for a retro hack like this, and now it is time for the post-game side of things. Load up that save file and let’s continue.

Defeating the Pokemon League was the first of 4 quests that make up this game:

QUEST 01 – Defeat the Pokemon League
QUEST 02 – Post-Game Quest
QUEST 03 – Hidden Quest
QUEST 04 – Complete the PokeDex

The PokeDex quest isn’t compulsory, so don’t worry about it. Before we tackle the other quests let’s return to the Safari Zone and find that powerful Legendary Pokemon.

Make it make back to Area 4 Underground, we’ve got a boulder puzzle to solve first (while keeping an eye on our Safari Steps xD), which involves pushing the boulder on the east side of the room to a metal pad switch in the middle of the room. Doing this will take down the barrier that is on the hill on the south side of the room. It’s not a tough puzzle, the only issue is the limited steps. Make use of the Save /Load State function if your emulator has it. After solving the puzzle cross over to the southeast corner and climb the ladder there. It takes us back outside where we’ll reach the next ladder.

Here we are in the Restricted Area. Make your way to the northeast section to pick up a Master Ball, perfect timing. Then go straight south to surf across a pool of water, even before we step into the water we can already see the Pokemon that we’re here for on the hill on the right – Level 70 Mewtwo! Prepare for battle.

[mewt] MEWTWO – The Genetic Pokemon
Level: 70
Type: Psychic
Moves: Psybeam, Swift, Recover, Psychic
Item Held: BrightPowder

Put that Master Ball to work. Afterwards make your way to the southwest section, we’ll find the Rock Drill on a hill. Remember that this is the superior tool to the Mining Pick because it doesn’t break. Nice way to finish our time in the Safari Zone, go ahead and exit.

Quest 02 is the real final mission of this game, in which the Trainer levels get really crazy as we progress so let’s save that quest for last (hopefully by the time we go for it we will have levelled up adequately). To kick off the Hidden Quest we have to go through an Item Trading Sequence a.k.a a good old fashioned fetch quest 🙂

ITEM TRADING SEQUENCE

It began in Haven City when we received the PokeCards, remember those? Take them to the boy on the 2nd floor of the Gondwan City Mart. He’s looking for PokeCards but he sees the deck we have and says he’s already got it…then adds that Kamina is a collector. He’s that guy we met in the National Tunnel. The best way to reach him is from Haven City’s side of the tunnel. He sees the cards, claims them as his, and next thing you know we put him down with a wrestling move! Very random haha, so we’re a baseball player/Pokemon Trainer AND secret Pro Wrestler. We then steal the GS Ball from him (?!) and somehow that makes us friends with Kamina. Also, we’re now a member of the Dai Gurren Clan and Kamina says we can keep the GS Ball. Dai Gurren is a little nod to the big manga/anime series Bleach, specifically to the Bankai form (it’s basically a super form) of character Hitsugaya’s blade Dai Gurren Hyourinmaru.

Take the GS Ball to the Silten Forest Shrine. We’ll hear the voice of the forest’s guardian – Celebi! Well, not THAT Celebi :/ no, the guardian is just named Celebi and it turns out that the GS Ball is a fake :\ The real one would’ve granted us a legendary Pokemon but since we brought a fake one Celebi gives us a fake legendary Pokemon…DOLL. A PikaBlu Doll. Bring it to the little girl in the Megan Museum and receive a Heavy Brick.

Fly back to the Battle Tower and get that Mist Stone from the Psychic. Paul sold it to him. SMH That’s our good old nephew Paul right there, doing what he does best xD. Captain Akab will be glad to have the Mist Stone back. He then reveals that he’s got a PokeGod Factory operation on this ship (I guess the photo of Akab in the Factory should’ve been a major clue). He’ll give us a Jetpack, which we can’t even use unfortunately. Only someone with military experience can, and that person is Joanna who is stranded in a house on Route 73. Now she can fly back to her guy Bob and as a reward she gives us a Gold Watch. If you return to Bob’s house in Snorkel City, read the letter he has left behind. Him and Joanna have left Frejo. He gives a hint about the Thermo Scope – it will allow us to notice secret pathways in some indoor places. Noted.

Take the Gold Watch back to the Fishing Guru’s youngest brother in Haven City and we get the Thermo Scope! Not only can we find secret pathways indoors but we can see invisible Pokemon too. Speaking of invisible…

Have the Grip Gloves with you and return to Mt. Lyre. Make your way back to that ladder which is blocked by a big rock, smash it with Falcon Punch and climb the ladder to the summit. Head up and stand on the edge and watch as the invisible Pokemon appears – Level 70 Ho-Oh!

[HoOh] HO-OH – The Rainbow Pokemon
Level: 70
Type: Flying/Light
Moves: Fire Spin, Recover, Drill Peck, Fire Blast
Item Held: BrightPowder

Excellent. There’s an Emergency Exit hole on the bottom right from the edge, another shortcut back to Route 51. With the Thermo Scope still with you, return to the sunken S.S. Concord on Route 72. It wasn’t empty afterall, we find Lv70 Lugia here!

[lugia] LUGIA – The Diving Pokemon
Level: 70
Type: Wind
Moves: Hurricane, Razor Wind, Whirlpool, Recover
Item Held: BrightPowder

Gold and Silver version mascots have now been acquired 🙂 Now let’s return to Frejo and search for those secret doors.

HIDDEN QUEST: GEM QUEST

Return to Lauras City and enter the Fossil Lab, we’ll find the secret door just up ahead. Go through and speak to the Spirit of the Statue. We’ve freed it from a spell and as a reward it gives us the Red Gem! One of those 7 Power Gems that we heard about, nice, and when they are all collected then Crystal Island will be opened for us.

Return to Snorkel City and enter Bob’s house. The secret door is on the far right side of the room, go through and get the Orange Gem.

Back in Silten City, go to the PokeDetox Inc. House. Head up the stairs for the Yellow Gem.

In Gondwan City, go to the house which is occupied by the Team Racket Grunts and old man (in the southeast area of town). You’ll see the secret door on the upper right side, the Green Gem awaits us in there.

In Gadow City we must enter the Ranger’s house, you’ll see the secret door on the upper left side. Get that Blue Gem.

We go back to Cherry City and return to the Mega Mart basement. That top right corner area is open now and the Blackbelt there has quite the collection of goods to sell:

Nugget P10000
Pearl P1500
Big Pearl P7500
Stardust P2000
Star Piece P9800
Mini Shroom P500
Mushroom P5000

Go down the stairs near him to pick up the Violet Gem.

One more secret door has appeared on the 2nd floor of the Megan Museum. Leads to a tiny room with a statue. No Spirit at first until we check behind the statue and find a lever, pull it and a voice announces that the Hidden Palace is now open and the final Gem, the Master Gem, is waiting for us there. Return to Buris City, make sure you have the Grip Shoes and then go to the Hotel. A secret doorway has appeared on the right side. It leads to a passage, follow it to a set of stairs on the left side and climb them.

HIDDEN PALACE

We’ll appear in a corridor, follow it all the way to the next set of stairs on the left side. In the next room there’s a signpost, an exit on the south side which leads back to Buris City (southwest section of town), and stairs on the north side. The sign says only the 6 Coloured Gems can break the Force Field. Head up the stairs and we’ll enter a much brighter area which looks like an upper floor of the Tin Tower. We’ll call this Area 1.

-HIDDEN PALACE AREA 1-

There are 3 other sets of stairs: one in the bottom right corner, one in the bottom left corner and one in the top left corner. Go for the top left stairs.

-HIDDEN PALACE AREA 2-

Get to the north section of the room, hop down once, hop left twice then hop all the way to the south section stairs. They take us to a room with 2 other sets of stairs, climb the left stairs because the other ones will teleport you back outside.

-HIDDEN PALACE AREA 3: QUIZ FLOOR-

There are quiz machines here, each of them will ask us 3 questions. Answer them correctly and we’ll get teleported to the next area.

**QUESTION 1: 80C’s number one?
Correct Answer: Yes

**QUESTION 2: Your football team is called the Paceleaf Superstars?

Now we’re in the room on the left. Round 3, Fight!

**QUESTION 4: In which direction Nidoran migrates?
Correct Answer: Trick question, either answer leads to the machine moving us on the true next area. Phew.

-HIDDEN PALACE AREA 4: MAZE FLOOR-

The aim here is to reach the northern side of the room. If you make a wrong step you’re teleported back down. It’s a basic game of trial, error and lots of saving and loading haha, let’s get through this:

From the floor tile above the signpost go 1 step up, 1 step left, 1 step up, all the way to the left, 2 steps up, 2 steps right, 3 steps up, 2 steps right, 1 step down, 4 steps right, 1 step down, 1 step right, 2 steps down, 2 steps right, 3 steps up, 1 step left, 4 steps up then simply follow those left tiles to the stairs. Double phew.

-HIDDEN PALACE AREA 5-

The sign says the Final Trap is ahead. It activates when we are by the door halfway along this corridor, if you didn’t have the Grip Shoes you would be teleported back outside. Thanks to the foorwear we have a brief chat with the trap, which is a Giant Foot. Gotta have a Monty Python reference somewhere 🙂 Carry on left to the next room.

-TOP OF THE HIDDEN PALACE-

The man inside is the last of the Gem Sages (?) who came from Mars a century ago. This guy is Starman (possibly a reference to that classic Super Nintendo game Earthbound) and he gives us the Master Gem, and now Crystal Island is open to us. It’s actually a saucer, he says, and on the Town Map it is indicated as a whirlpool in the Atlantic Ocean. We find out that Kifflom used to be one of their earthly adepts but he turned bad and must be stopped before he can harm Pokemon…which are aliens according to him (??) before we get an explanation about this Starman leaves his body/costume behind and returns to his star ship. What the heck was that all about, xD? Anyway, exit the Hidden Palace.

In order to access Crystal Island we’ll have to complete Quest 02, so don’t worry about Crystal Island for now. The good news is we’ve completed the first half of the Hidden Quest, the second half requires us to reach Elite 4 member Matix’s room and use the Magic Hammer on that white pole that we saw when we got there the first time. Going through the Pokemon League again 😐 damn.

….Several hours later….

Once you’re in Matix’s room use the Magic Hammer on the pole and continue through the door on the right. Descend the stairs in the next room, head to the right in the other room and use the warp tile. It takes to the rooftop of a building called the Prison Compound, we’ll explore it during Quest 02. Carry on to the right for the next warp tile. Climb up the stairs in the next room, they lead to a side-scroll level. Reach the top and there you go – welcome to the Atlantic Ocean!

[graplo] GRAPE LODGE (a.k.a the Crystal Palace)

Lv80 Espeon [Psychic] (holding a Sitrus Berry)

-AREA 2-

Look who we find here – nephew Paul. It’s been a while. He was also searching for the Power Gems but obviously failed…and now thanks to us unlocking this place he says that we’ve done Frejo a favour. Paul thinks they sent us here to find Driadjin. Really, guy?

RIVAL BATTLE

Rival Paul

Lv85 Gliscor [Ground/Flying] (holding a Sitrus Berry)
Lv87 Mewtwo Psychic (holding BrightPowder)
Lv89 Slowking [Water/Psychic] (holding a King’s Rock)
Lv92 Johto Starter (holding a Sitrus Berry)
Lv95 Starter (holding a Sitrus Berry)
Prize: P9405

**BATTLE NOTES:

Paul has 4 Full Restores.

Gliscor Moves: Slash, Guillotine, Quick Attack, Fly

Mewtwo Moves: Swift, Psychic, Recover, Flash Wave

Slowking Moves: Synchronoise, Psychic, Hydro Pump, Psybeam

Now he says we’re missing kids who’ve been given false memories and were sent by the Grape Lodge to retrieve Driadjin for them. Huh? Then he says goodbye and leaves. This just gets stranger and stranger, so is that the last we’ve seen of Paul until the next major update? Maybe he’ll be in Kelgo?? Oh well, use the warp tile.

-AREA 3-

We find the Pokemon Ranger, a female Lab Aide who congratulates us for completing the Secret Quest and Captain Akab who informs us that we are now a we’re a member of the Grape Lodge. Is that a good thing or a bad thing though? I’m not sure at this point, a lot of stuff doesn’t make sense xD. Continue up to find one more special individual – 80C! He says he only just got here and has succeeded in capturing Driadjin, which he then gives to us (!)

DRIADJIN – The Paradigm Pokemon
Level: 80
Type: Dragon/Light
Moves: Dragon Claw, Flash Wave, Metal Claw, Outrage
Item Held: BrightPowder

Incredible, this is the true Driadjin. 80C is short of one Gym Badge (xD, how did he make it all the way here though??) so he can’t tame it. Kifflom and company were trying to use Driadjin to bring Pokemon to the cove which we’ve heard about before – here. We don’t have a Card Key for the locked door above us, it is the Key Item which we receive after completing Quest 02. It’s finally time for us to tackle it, exit the Grape Lodge and get yourselves ready because now we tackle the second quest, so check your team and be really prepared because from here up to the current ending of the game the Trainers are going to get Super Saiyan God-level strong :S make sure to have that Snag Ball with you (or more if you’ve been doing business with Regina at the PokeBall Factory).

POST-GAME QUEST

Return to that building which was blocked by a Rocket who said only VIPs may enter. It’s north of Cherry City but you reach it from Wizard Peak. This time the Rocket is gone and we can step inside the building known as the Subway.

SUBWAY

First Trainer we find here is a Bird Keeper. Another disciple of Epsilon.

Bird Keeper

Lv64 Fearow [Normal/Flying] (holding a King’s Rock)
Lv64 Skarmory [Steel/Flying] (holding Leftovers)

Use the Magic Hammer on that pole on the right. The path leads to a Dope Ball and a Scouter (?). Funny thing is if you open the Bag and try to use it, a message pops up saying the Scouter will be useful in the next version of this game. That message popped up in the previous version xD, what’s up with that? The Readme says it’s for locating and identifying roaming legendary Pokemon. When you enter an area which has a roaming Pokemon the Scouter will beep and identify that Pokemon. Not bad. Go south, there’s a set of stairs. They take us outside to the Port where we’ll meet a Rocket who says he’s a traitor and has opened one of the ships for us. Interesting, hopefully it isn’t a trap. Back to the sewers and continue right into water. There’s a Big Pearl in the corner. Then head north, picking up another Big Pearl on the way, then we’ll reach a Rocket near stairs going up.

Don’t worry, he’ll share the bombs. How does that make things better, xD, now we’re an associate of this guy. Nitro Bomb on the right or Semtex Bomb on the left, pick whichever one has a cool sounding name. Afterwards the Super Nerd tells us that Kifflom is unbeatable, if we have trouble defeating him we should throw that Bomb. This Kifflom guy is starting to sound more machine than man, now we will need a bomb to defeat him?? Go to the right to descend the hill and then follow the path to the top left corner to find a Big Pearl. In the top right corner is a ladder exiting this area. The next place is simple to get through, just make your way to the opening in the northwest section. There’s a Med Kit near it. We’ll be out of the cave and into another building.

-DUNGEON AREA F (PRISON COMPOUND)-

Go all the way to the western side of the room, along the way you’ll pass a locked area which needs a Card Key. You’ll reach a man who thanks us for saving him and others.

Head southeast from the Scientist, along the way you’ll find another opening to the central room which has the locked door. There’s a warp tile there and another warp tile in the southeast room. The southeast warp tile leads to an area of locked rooms. The central warp tile sends us to an old man and 3 other warp tiles. He says we should pick a path. The right tile takes us back to the Weapon Depot in Silten City and the middle tile leads to the rooftop then outside the first Dungeon building. The left tile sends us to the next room, where we find 9 warp tiles! NINE! The one we want is the bottom left tile.

Follow that path on the left to the man we’ve been hearing about throughout our adventure – Professor Samuel L. Oak a.k.a KAOFROP a.k.a KIFFLOM! Why Professor?? He knew this day would come, but unlucky for him we are prepared 🙂 the game asks if you would like to drop the Bomb. If you say Yes and drop the Bomb, his team is damaged but one Pokemon remains that he will use – Driadjin! Or you could say No and test yourself against his full team. If you’ve got a Snag Ball or more, here’s your chance to try them! Good luck, seriously.

BIG BOSS BATTLE

Prof. Oak

Lv105 Porygon-Z [Atom] (holding an Upgrade)
Lv107 Ampharos [Electric/Light] (holding a Sitrus Berry)
Lv109 Slowking [Water/Psychic] (holding a King’s Rock)

**BATTLE NOTES:

Porygon-Z Moves: Hyper Beam, Tri Attack, Spit Up, Zap Cannon

Torkoal Moves: Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Gas Bomb, Freezebreath

Charizard Moves: Blast Burn, Dragonbreath, Steel Wing, Fire Blast

Driadjin Moves: Gem Bomb, Metal Claw, Blast Burn, Outrage

Wow, that was intense. That Bomb saved our behinds, phew. Defeating Oak should be what we’ve been building to, but it sounds like he was just another piece on the board. Before he dies he says we’ve been fooled and now that Driadjin is gone the real enemies’ plans will go forward. Damn it. On the bright side though, we’ll pick up the Card Key. On the left and right are some useful items: a Nugget, Dog Bait (automatically attracts roaming Pokemon on the route you’re on) and a PokeWatch (there was no information about it in the previous update…but in this version all we get when we try to use it is “warm and adhesive”). You can descend either set of stairs, they lead to the same area where there’s a warp tile which leads us to the house we found near the Pokemon League HQ building. Ignore the warp tile and return to the Prison Compound so that we use that Card Key.

Back in the main area of the Compound, unlock the room on left to pick up a Lum Berry on a table. Then go southeast to that room of locked rooms. Unlock the doors on the left until you reach stairs, they’ll take us to a side-scroller level. Climb to the very top and pop up outside on the mysterious Crystal Island.

CRYSTAL ISLAND

Pokemon Found (Lv40-70)

Raikou [Electric/Wind]

Mew [Psychic]
Mewtwo [Psychic]

Great place to catch any Legendary Pokemon which you might’ve failed to obtain previously AND if you go to the western side you’ll find tombstones which sell TMs. ALL the TMs 🙂 enjoy.

And last but not least is the locked door in the Grape Lodge, it leads to more locked doors then a staircase which takes us back to the Hall of Fame for another induction. Nice way to finish our adventure because after the credits roll again we’ll return to Rustel City. This is where we end things until the next major update, hopefully it will be Kelgo-based and we get to travel through the rest of that region. Okay, let’s move on to the final section of this walkthrough!
