Pokemon Crystal Clear Detailed Walkthrough (by Allen Chingonzoh)

We appear in our room. Nice and tidy, although there's nothing in the PC Item Storage. But in our Bag is a Potion, 5 Poke Balls, a House Key to our residence, and the Dex Tracker. Check the Residences section of the Main Document for detailed information about the House Key, but in short, it allows us to fast travel (under certain conditions) to our residences that we can purchase in the game. Our PokeGear phone has 2 numbers listed - the Pokemon League and the world's greatest PokeManiac Bill. The League number can tell us how many Gym Badges we have and also offers a Trainer Tip each time you call. Bill tells us how many Pokemon we can store in the current Storage Box and when it is full he'll call us so we can change Boxes. Very nice. Head downstairs to meet Gold/Ethan's Mom, who reminds us that we are a tenant here, and a visitor - the mother of the aspiring researcher girl who lives in the southwestern house. Gold's Mom is also willing to battle us if we are up for it, sounds great until you find out that she's packing a full team and her first Pokemon is a Lv81 Hypno! Mother of a Champion indeed haha, good lord. We'll come back for that battle much, MUCH later on. In the fridge, you'll find Fresh Water and Lemonade, but they can't be taken out. Let's step outside.

To the east of town we find a new landmark that we can make a note of for now, New Bark Bridge. Professor Elm's wife and son are home, nothing new there. If you go up to the Lab and stand on the spot where a certain red-haired Rival once stood you'll find a Pokemon Egg by the window sill that nobody in the Lab is paying attention to. To steal the Egg or not to steal the Egg...good question with a simple answer - leave the Egg there :) Enter the Lab, if you have an Unown you can trade it with Hannah the female assistant for her Reinier the Girafarig. On the first desk that we reach there's a laptop with a memoir in progress, it has pictures of the Johto Starters that we add to our PokeDex after holding it up to the screen, clever xD. Check the Dex and learn that each Starter is found here in the Lab but we'll need 1 Badge first. Speak to Elm for a quick introduction and then he says if we had 1 Badge he would give us something important. If we had taken the Egg and speak to him again Elm is unhappy about the Egg being stolen and says he would've given it away if the thief had asked for it. Exit the Lab and leave town.

The western house is a potential residence, there's a phone inside and if you've got a cool P10000 give the Macho Man a call for the house :) brilliant. Head to the shore and speak to the boy, he says he saw someone in yellow walk into the trees that he's facing. Who could that be...? Walk to those trees and press A to uncover a secret path (!)

This is certainly new :) there's a house here, occupied by a man named Doom and a Natu which can teleport us back to a previous residence. Doom tells us that this house belongs to someone with the initials SS, possibly ShockSlayer. Doom is just here to mess with his stuff xD, with friends like these... On the desk is ShockSlayer's journal with two entries about him finding Cherrygrove Bay and exploring the mountain caves nearby. Apparently there's a way to reach the top of the mountains. An island in the middle of the bay is connected to the caves. He reached the deepest parts of the caves and set up a forge there. Among the items he lost while moving tools to that place is a Pickaxe which would've helped him clear away rocks. Very interesting. On the bookshelf is a video game console hacking book by Ben Heckendorn that we end up chucking into the bin. Sorry Ben xD. There's a working PC in the corner if you need its services. Exit the house and head north until you can go west behind the mountain. Staying along the mountain wall, you'll reach the familiar "tree" blocking the way. Noted. Above that blocked path is a blonde man named Robert, he's checking out Pokemon across Johto and Kanto. He is one of a few special Trainers that appear in several locations until we meet them for the first time and then they follow a schedule. Robert says if we can defeat him he'll share the data he has collected for Cherrygrove Bay. Sounds good :)

Chronicler Robert
- Togepi [Normal]
- Smeargle [Normal]
- Squirtle [Water]
Prize: P500

His schedule is as follows:
> Route 28 (Sunday)
> Cherrygrove Bay (Monday)
> Route 24 (Tuesday)
> Ruins of Alph (Wednesday)
> Route 10 (Thursday)

After getting the data, back track to SS's house and go northwest to see the entrance to Cherrygrove Cave.

Who is this guy? So random haha. Go all the way to the western edge, popping onto Route 32 in the process, to pick up an Exp. Share. Return to 2F and continue southwest, the rock which is just after the steps has a hidden Great Ball. There's a hidden PP Up too, refer to the screenshot for the exact spot. Descend the ladder.

There's another hidden PP Up here, refer to the screenshot for the exact spot. 3 exits are here, we'll start with the western one. In the next area we find a caved-in entrance on the left, and note that a Pokemon move might make the cave-in worse. Could be a job for that Pickaxe maybe? Just below the entrance is a hidden Soft Sand (see screenshot) and then further below is a Calcium. Go back to the previous B1F room and use the southern exit, it leads to a small room that has a hidden Full Restore on the left tile from the exit. Back to the previous B1F and then go through the eastern exit to search the lone rock which you'll see next for a hidden Nugget. We'll be back with Surf and Waterfall. Return to 1F.

Move up to the square-shaped rock platform that's on the north side, there's a hidden PP Up on it (see screenshot). On the upper rock platform is a Super Potion on the northwest side. After coming down on the northeast side you'll see a Repel. Don't bother with the exit on the right, we can't Cut yet, go for the ladder.

Good old Violet, it's been a minute. Southwest from the PokeCenter is the house where you can still trade a Bellsprout for Kyle's Onix Rocky, who'll be holding TM10 Hidden Power. Earl isn't at his Academy, he's in between the Gym and Mart. When he asks about the Gym say No and we'll follow him to the Academy. Speak to him for some training advice. The Academy is also a potential residence, going for P20000. After that let's visit Sprout Tower. 

[spt] SPROUT TOWER
"Experience the Way of Pokemon"

Even after all these years, that swaying pillar is still pretty cool to see. The Sage next to the stairs on the upper left would've simply given us HM05 Flash if we had a Gym Badge right now. No rush :) we'll get it soon. Go upstairs.

There's a Sage on the right, say Yes and he'll let us through. He warns us about those upper floor Sages: they aren't the low leveled bunch that we faced in the old days, no, they are stronger now because they have something important that they are protecting. According to the Main Document, the Sprout Tower Sages are among the sidequest Trainers who don't follow the scaling mechanic. Unless you've been SUPER, super training this early in the game, you don't stand much of a chance against the current Sages. If you've decided to save the battles against them for later then press CTRL + F and type in [g1] for the Gym, our next destination. But for those of you who are curious and want to see what you're up against, let's continue. Descend the stairs back to 1F, finding a Parlyz Heal just below then go over to the left side for Chow.

Badge #1 acquired! :) Gyms can be challenged again in this game, to do that you speak to the Gym statues. You can also select the Set that you would like to challenge, ranging from Current Set to Set 16 (representing the levels and teams that the Gym Leader and Trainers will have when rematching after you've defeated all 16 Gyms). 

Outside the Gym we receive a phone call from the Pokemon League Office to confirm that we've gone through the first Gym. They will call us after every Gym challenge is cleared. If we were starting in Kanto we are told to meet one of Professor Oak's Aides on Route 10 to receive HM Flash. I don't know if you'll get a different Trainer Tip but we're then told to stay away from the Seafoam Islands and the Kanto Power Plant because some winged Pokemon have been seen. Hmm. Also Mt. Silver remains a restricted area. Hmmmmm. The new items now available at Marts are Super Potions and Full Heals. Return to Sprout Tower, pick up HM Flash and let's go all the way back to New Bark Town and show Prof. Elm our first Badge. He'll give us the Egg, which he received from Mr. Pokemon but can't look after it. A Togepi Egg. Regular, Normal-type Togepi :) none of that Gen 6 new type nonsense xD.

I was about to propose that since the game is big on being open world and HMs work without Badges we might as well head on Ecruteak City and battle the Kimono Girls for HM Surf....but according to the Main Document we can only receive Surf if we've got 4 Badges (in Kanto, we could've gotten it at the Safari Warden's house without any Badges!). Damn, oh well, so Plan B is we'll take the long scenic road to Ecruteak City. Leave Violet City via the western exit.

Funny that she would mention this on the route famous for having that same "tree" blocking the way a little further on. Arthur is here too on Thursdays, he gives away a Hard Stone. The northern entrance to the Ruins of Alph and the man who gives us TM08 Rock Smash are here too. Head for the Ruins.

Maybe things are a little bit more interesting now that the Ruins are open for exploration. In the Research Center we'll find a man in green, working on a computer that records information about captured Unown. Go into the Mystery Stone Panel Chamber north of the Research Center and learn about strange patterns that have appeared on the walls recently. The north wall has the word ESCAPE formed by Unown. As for the sliding panel puzzle...there's a new one waiting here, with a clue next to it about the Pokemon that is depicted: 

"A Pokemon thought to be a common ancestor of all known species." Who's that Pokemon?? MEW! *insert Mew's anime cry here*

I'll include a screenshot of the solved puzzle for those of you who need it. In classic fashion as soon as we solve the puzzle, the floor opens beneath us and down we go.

 Unown [Psychic] (Lv5 A to K)

There's nobody here except us and the Unown...make your way down to a ladder that leads back to the outside area. One of the visitors is here, having run out after we let all those Unown out. Sorry folks. Just south from the visitor is the entrance to the other section of Union Cave and Nathan. 

Psychic Nathan
- Girafarig [Normal/Psychic]
Prize: P336

Don't worry about Union Cave for now, we can't Surf yet anyway. Next door to the Union Cave entrance is another puzzle chamber. On the north wall HO OH is formed and the clue for the puzzle says:

"A Pokemon with a prominent snout. Said to be able to sense hot springs. Many have been discovered alive, frozen in ice."

SWINUB! (see screenshot for solution) and down we go. Unown letters X, Y and Z are now available. Once you're done exit via the ladder and carry on south past Nathan, passing the eastern Gate, all the way down until you see a chamber in the southeastern section. In this one the north wall has LIGHT formed on it. The puzzle clue says: 

"This forest Pokemon is said to have travelled through time." CELEBI! (see screenshot for solution). Unown letters S, T, U, V and W are now available. After exiting go back to the Celebi puzzle chamber and head left to meet Ryan, one of the special Roaming Trainers. He's a Diviner, having an ability to see special events. Say Yes so we can face him.

Diviner Ryan
- Spinbirb the *Shiny* Natu [Psychic/Flying] (yes, it's SPINBIRB xD)
- Beefaroni the Pikachu [Electric] (I don't even wanna know why...)
Prize: P800

He'll also give us a Cleanse Tag. On the hill behind him is one more puzzle chamber entrance on the left, another Union Cave entrance on the right (leading to an area which requires Strength) and at the top of the hill is a shrine with markings on it: 

LEAD ONE OF US TO POWER

It looks to be in rough shape, but if you have an Unown with you there's a sudden bright light (!) and the shrine is repaired and active. This is where Unown can learn different moves, very cool. Enter the remaining puzzle chamber, check the north wall to see WATER formed. The puzzle clue says: 

"This Pokemon was regarded as a CHAMPION of POWER. Feats of its strength have passed into legend."

MACHAMP! (see screenshot for solution) this one was a tricky one. Unown letters L, M, N, O, P, Q and R are now available. 

If you manage to catch all 26 Unown, return to the Research Center for new dialogue from the researchers. The man in green has set up the printer in the corner for those of you who still have a Game Boy Printer. If you check his computer there's a note about the next investigation, involving a new area called the Forest of Rage and the residual radio waves that are present there. Intriguing. It's interesting to note what the researcher near the printer says, that something has to happen now that 26 Unown have been caught. Go back to where we met Ryan, there's a bridge on the south side and it is occupied by a trio of Youngsters. First one, Youngster in red, is Oliver.

No idea who these guys are supposed to be a reference to if any. You'll notice that there is grass beyond the trees on the western side of the Ruins, we'll come back once we can surf to cross the pond on the northwest side. Head for the eastern Gate and out onto Route 32.

Hmm, it doesn't really feel the same without Team Rocket or injured backs, you know? Maybe there are some new surprises in the next area. Head north to find a Super Potion, that's all we can do for now until we can Surf and move boulders. 

In Azalea Town the old man near the entrance tells us about a secret forest that can only be accessed at night. We have to check behind Kurt's house for the way in. At the Charcoal Kiln speak to the apprentice to get a Charcoal. This is also a potential residence if you got P20000. The Charcoal Maker has a spare HM01 Cut, but he'll only give it to us when we have a second Badge. Very soon :) at Kurt's house we'll find the man, he's doing well enough and still requests for Apricorns so he can turn them into Poke Balls. Kurt's son is home too,he's got some goods from his time at Silph: 

Poke Ball P200	 Fast Ball P800
Great Ball P600Level Ball P1000
Friend Ball P600 Lure Ball P1100
Moon Ball P600 Love Ball P1200
Heavy Ball P800Ultra Ball P1200

Some solid goods there. Behind the house is a White Apricorn tree and the most curious Slowpoke is the area, looking at some trees...

They give us an interesting warning about the Sudowoodo that have been seen in Ilex Forest and Viridian Forest, people are advised to not use the Squirtbottle on them. Had we started in Kanto we would find it in Pewter City. Head back to the Kiln to pick up HM Cut and prepare for our very first backtrack run.

/CHERRYGROVE BAY\
- There are 2 items above Chronicler Robert that we couldn't reach before, a Miracle Berry and a Rare Candy. There's another tree we can Cut just east from Robert but don't worry about it, the tree is just blocking a shortcut entrance to Cherrygrove Cave's northeast side. And so ends our first backtrack run, return to Azalea Town. 

Wait until it's night time and go behind Kurt's house to inspect the tree that Slowpoke is looking at. A secret path will open, let's see where it leads...

(EVENT: Restore the Forest to its natural state) 
 Scizor [Bug/Steel]
 Sneasel [Dark/Ice]
 Tyranitar [Rock/Dark] 

Almost looks like we stepped back in time to original GameBoy days. Head west and pause as a spirit suddenly appears in our way (!) this is the eternal keeper of the forest and he notes that us being here is a bad sign. The place has been frozen in time but the flowers are still alive and we should follow them. After the keeper vanishes carry on north until we see the keeper again with what looks like a rabbit but it's a Sneasel and he starts telling us about the forest's history. This was a sacred place where Pokemon lived peacefully until invaders came and spoiled things. Sneasel is completely motionless. There are footprints in this forest but the PokeDex can't scan them. Continue all the way north to climb onto a rocky platform and go the western side, the keeper appears there and we see a cluster of buildings (which look like a section of Goldenrod City) as he says the edge of the forest is "a window of truths that once were...or truths that will be...But the march of time rests here..." Vague.

Descend the rocky platform and as you head back south you'll see a motionless Scizor on the bottom right. Back track a bit to the Sneasel and then follow the path going east then south from there. You'll eventually reach a pond, on its southern side is a motionless Tyranitar. Circle the pond to the east side and before going further east we're stopped by the keeper, he sees that we want to restore the flow of time here and says that we must find the three. Eh? Which three?? After the keeper disappears, go over to the west side of the pond and look what we find now - a roaming Lv15 S Unown! Catch it. Return to the rocky platform and get to the northwest side, there's a roaming Lv15 G Unown. Catch it. Interesting colour which it is sporting there. Head back to the pond and go east then north to find a roaming Lv15 C Unown. Catch it. I'm seeing a pattern here, are you? After you've encountered all 3 Unown continue north to another rocky platform with steps on either side, doesn't matter which steps you go for, as you climb them the keeper appears and says that the shrine will recognise our heart's plea and we should help those who have been left behind and protect the forest. He disappears one more time and in his place more flowers appear. The shrine he is referring to is at the top of this platform, go up there and examine it. A scene follows, showing Celebi restoring Sneasel, Scizor, Tyranitar and the forest! Lovely :) if you have one of your Pokemon following you it will react to the forest being back to normal. There's a hidden Stardust in the water on the left side of the shrine but we'll need Surf to get it (see screenshot).

Descend the platform and go all the way to the southeast section of the forest, you'll find 5 Level Balls. You can try to catch the 3 Pokemon that Celebi restored, but be warned, they are high leveled. Sneasel is Lv25 (holding Nevermeltice), Scizor is Lv40 (holding a Metal Coat) and Tyranitar (holding BlackGlasses) is Lv55!! On the bright side though, Tyranitar and Sneasel have Powerful Auras. Or you can come back at some point later for them maybe? Return to the first rocky platform we climbed onto, there are 5 Fast Balls. On the northwest side of it is a hidden Rare Candy (see screenshot) and 5 Friend Balls on the north side. Continue to the northeast area of the forest, there's hidden Sacred Ash (see screenshot) and a cave entrance. (oO?)

No misbehaving Farfetch'd for us to chase after this time :) follow the path north until you see a way going south, go along that way to the area where we would try to corner Farfetch'd. There's a Revive on the south side. Back to the main path, continue north to find a girl by the Forest Shrine. She tells us a bit about the forest's protector and adds that Kurt may know more about it. She hopes to see it someday. Return to Azalea Town and speak to Kurt. Although he has lived here for a while he admits that he doesn't know a lot about the protector...but his old friend Prof. Oak does. We'll have a chat with him in Pallet Town about that. 

Back to the Shrine, the girl is gone now, so you can have a look at it. Afterwards carry on north and search the spot near the signpost for a hidden Full Heal (see screenshot). Past the signpost is an X Attack then an Antidote and an Ether a little further on. Stick with the path as it goes south, on the way you'll find a hidden Super Potion (see screenshot). At the end of the path is a guy who gives us TM02 Headbutt, excellent. Back track to the north side and continue west, we'll see Wayne among some Headbutt trees.

There are 2 houses below him, the one on the right is a potential residence (P40000) and the left one is Bill's house. He's home and has an Eevee for us to take care of if you've got space in the party. South of both houses is an entrance to the Goldenrod City Underground.

Upstairs you'll find TM09 Psych Up. Outside we are near the Radio Tower and next door to the Modification Station. 

MODIFICATION STATION

According to the lady at the front desk this place can be reached from several cities in Johto and Kanto by means of the Alakazam near the chalkboard. It Teleports people who enter one of the other locations. The gentleman near the front desk is the Name Rater. That book on his table identifies some "cool places to medidate": 

- A secret cave on Route 24 (reached by surfing on Route 25).
- The Olivine Lighthouse (with an hilarious note about Jasmine's Ampharos)
- The Power Plant (?)
- The Ruins of Alph
- Vermilion City

On the chalkboard is information about Determinant Values and Scientists on New Cinnabar Island who are working on an experimental PokeDex upgrade which allows viewing DVs during battles. Over at the big people's table we'll meet the Move Deleter, the Move Reminder, the Legality Fixer and the Nature Tweaker. 

Right across is the Gym and the Flower Shop. Thanks to having 2 Badges we can receive the Squirtbottle. Since we're right next door, shall we pay Whitney a visit?

Classic Whitney, still bursting into tears after losing the battle. Speak to Bridget then return to Whitney after she calms down. Badge #3 acquired. Super Repels and Ethers are now available at Marts.

Outside the Gym we get that call from the League Office, this time they encourage Trainers to Fly to reduce traffic on Cycling Road and boat traffic headed to Cianwood City. Right. 

Just south from the Gym is the Goldenrod Station and the Goldenrod Cafe. At the Station we'll find Kensworth, the man in charge of repairing the Magnet Train and also one of those special roaming Trainers. If we defeat him he'll give us a Magnet, of course :)

Engineer Kensworth
- Lv21 Magnetbois the *Shiny* Magneton [Electric/Steel]
Prize: P2100

**BATTLE NOTES:
- Magnetbois's HP replenishes each turn.
- Kensworth has 1 Full Restore.

His schedule is as follows:
- Goldenrod Cafe (Wednesdays)
- Goldenrod House (Saturdays and Sundays)
- Goldenrod Magnet Train Station (All other days)

And the cherry on top here is that we can board the Magnet Train immediately! What do you say about us travelling to Saffron, checking it out, taking on Sabrina and then coming back to Johto with an extra Badge to our name? Sounds like a capital idea!

This is rather cool, as if we've gone off-script and here we are in Kanto already even if it's just for a short visit. So how is Saffron doing? Just south of the Train Station is Copycat Girl's house, but she isn't home because...wait for it...she has a part time job now! Nice. Her mother says we can get there via the Underground Path. In the corner is TM32 Double Team, upstairs we'll find a Dodrio who might be a big fan of the mirror from Snow White. A clue to something? Leave and head for Silph Co.

SILPH CO.
-1F-

Things look to be in order here, given this company's history. On the eastern side of the room is a roaming Shiny Porygon2 named Duck.exe, it belongs to that purple man nearby - Zevach, a resident scientist. He's wearing a blindfold and if we say Yes he'll then share his story about it: he used to work for Team Rocket (!) involved in decompiling Pokemon data for extra Game Corner prizes that are cheap. While trying to tweak Porygon's code one of the machines exploded and that blinded Zevach, which led to Team Rocket kicking him out. So he's with Silph now after he showed them his Porygon. Because of renovations going on upstairs where his lab is located, he is working here in the lobby and at the moment he's on a break...nice time for a battle, no? 

Ex-Rocket Zevach
- Lv20 Duck.exe [Normal]
- Lv17 Firewall the Growlithe [Fire]
- Lv19 Muffet the Spinarak [Bug/Poison]
- Lv18 Arm9 the Magnemite [Electric/Steel]

**BATTLE NOTES:
- Zevach has 1 Full Restore. 

He'll give us a Focus Band afterwards. As for his schedule:
- Goldenrod Cafe (Mondays)
- Silph Co. 1F (All other days)

The guard in front of the stairway won't let non-employees through but he gives us an Up-Grade. Maybe at some point we'll be allowed upstairs.

East of Silph Co. is a potential residence (P50000). On the south side of town is the PokeCenter (the man in a blue shirt tells us a little bit about something going on at the Power Plant, involving a giant bird...), Mr. Psychic's house for that handy TM and a new place called the Saffron City Abilities House. 

SAFFRON CITY ABILITIES HOUSE

All this work done by the man of the house. He can tell what type of items a Pokemon listed in our PokeDex might be found to be holding. 

In the Mart is a purple-haired girl who wants to get stronger but isn't good enough yet. Maybe we'll come back for her much later. The Fighting Dojo is the same as the original one, there's a Focus Band for us to pick up and we're told by the remaining Blackbelt that the Karate King is training in a cave somewhere in Johto. We'll find him eventually. For now though, get set for Sabrina.

Badge #4, first one in Kanto, acquired. Hyper Potions and Max Repels now available at Marts. No new Tile to take us straight to the entrance room, we'll have to back-teleport or use some mystic powers to walk through walls :) Call #4 from the League Office happens outside, they inform us that with 4 Badges we've become a Skillful Trainer and this is recognised by the TM Shops in either of the Department Stores. Taking a tour of Ecruteak City and visiting Tin Tower is then recommended as well seeing the Event Move Tutor at the Goldenron Radio Tower. He teaches moves that are only given out at special events...not moves which we would, erm, need in order to...er trigger special events :/ yes I am a little disappointed, that's what I thought Event Moves were xD. So ends our brief time in Saffron City, back to Goldenrod City.

...Several hours later...

TM Set #2 has the following: 

TM04 Rollout P2000
TM05 Roar P2500

Waiting by the next stairway is Bort the Lv25 Voltorb. How random, you can catch or defeat it.

Prize: P2300 

He's cool enough to heal our Pokemon afterwards and give us one of the prize items they have here, a Nugget. You can battle him once a day. Leave the Tower and head east to find the Goldenrod Cafe. There's a flyer on the signboard of the Cafe saying help is wanted inside. Take the flyer and let's find out what that's all about. 

GOLDENROD CAFE

If today is a Sunday we'll find Diviner Ryan in one of the booths with Spinbirb. Funny enough, it's a Saturday for me now and they were here. No battles, they are just here to rest. What can we order?

Burger (P9500)
Coffee (P9500)
Soup (P9500)
Leftovers (P9500)

The flyer we took belongs to the grey woman by the counter, she's looking for a Pokemon who can be a model for the Cafe's sign. If you have a Cleffa, Clefairy or Clefable make sure it is following you then speak to the woman again. She'll tell you to come back the next day and when you do you'll see the new Cafe sign above the entrance :)

Next door to the Cafe is Kensworth's house. If he's home he'll ask for a Diglett in exchange for his Magnemite. Way to the south from the house is the Bike Shop, go get that Bicycle and advertise the be-jezus out of it :) eventually the owner will call to thank you for helping to raise sales and you'll be allowed to keep the Bike. One more place remaining for us to check out..

In the north Gate speak to the guard, he asks us to help a Pokemon deliver some mail to his friend the sleepy guy on Route 31. Make room in your party for the Pokemon - a Lv10 Spearow named Kenya which is holding Mirage Mail AND knows False Swipe...and FLY! The guard says we can keep Kenya after delivering the Mail. Hurry and deliver it. The sleepy guy will read the Mail and then tells us about how he bumped into an unknown man in the dark while exploring Dark Cave. The man disappeared when sleepy guy used Flash in the hope of finding out who that was. Interesting. Afterwards sleey guy gives us TM50 Nightmare. Go back to the guard and be rewarded with 5 PP Ups. Fantastic :) step out onto the next route.

Badge #5 get-o! Max Ethers are now available at Marts. From the League Office we find out about the Fast Ferry service. Its main port is on Route 40 and we'll need a Pass for it. 

Next door from the Gym lives a man who gives us the Itemfinder. With all the fancy upgrades and changes that items like the PokeDex has got, why wasn't the Itemfinder pimped out too? At least if it made our playable character face the direction of a hidden item after detecting one, that would've been fine. The house next to the PokeCenter is a potential residence (P50000), with Beth taking the call this time. Nice. There is a hidden Hyper Potion by the pond (see screenshot). The Tin Tower is off-limits if you don't have at least 4 Badges, which isn't an issue for us now so the monk let's us pass. In the next room there is the Wise Trio, protectors of legendary Pokemon. From them we find out about the Burned Tower being disturbed by Burglars and about the Legendary Beasts who can only be woken up by a special Trainer. They won't wake up the same as before apparently, what's that supposed to mean? The monk by the exit will stop us if we try to go out that way, saying that Ho-Oh hasn't come back yet. If you have the Rainbow Wing he'll acknowledge that but still won't let you through. The Trio is worried about the state of the tower because a lot of Trainers have been in it and that's putting a strain on the tower's foundation. As an apology for not letting us explore the tower the monk gives us a Rare Candy. An incredible event has to happen first before Ho-Oh can return...an event which might have to do with those Legendary Beasts. Some investigation is required.

No Silver in the middle area but a hidden Revive (see screenshot) and another familiar face - Eusine! He's been on the trail of Suicune and came here after hearing rumours about Suicune returning to the Burned Tower. He mentions meeting another Trainer a year before and that Trainer did something to Eusine, he doesn't explain what exactly. Huh, who could that be? And so Eusine isn't going to let anyone else try to catch Suicune and suddenly challenges us to a battle (!) now wait a minute man, we just meet!

Eusine has a change of heart after losing, he's fine now with just proving himself to Suicune although he admits that he hasn't seen it here yet. Suddenly, just like in the original game, the floor opens beneath us and down we go. Had Silver been here he would've mocked us for falling down, minus that little laugh by Nelson from The Simpsons :)

And there they are just up ahead, the Legendary Beasts. Reach them and watch as they reanimate. Raikou and Entei dash off but Suicune has a curious look at us before running off as well. We'll come back with HM Strength for that item in the northeast corner. At the bottom of the steps we see Eusine, he caught a glimpse of Suicune as it ran past him, again like all those years ago. He will begin tracking after Suicune once more and vows not to make the same mistakes this time. Who will catch Suicune first, Eusine or you? Return to 1F's middle area, there's a hidden Ether (see screenshot) and a Smoke Ball to be picked up. We're done here, exit.

Outside the tower is an old man who was a Trainer when the tower burned down. Didn't it burn down like over a century ago?? He tells the story about the Legendary Beasts perishing in the fire and being revived by Ho-Oh. No change from the Wise Trio though, maybe we'll have to bring the Beasts with us next time? For now we'll head to the Dance Theater and, well, dance battle our way to another VERY important prize. 

ECRUTEAK DANCE THEATER

The guy on the left side from the entrance gives us HM03 Surf, saying that he already has a Pokemon which knows the move. The Theater Director will still offer us a prize if we can defeat the Kimono Girls. Come prepared because their Pokemon are over Lv30. Starting from the left side of the stage, here they are:

Kimono Girl Naoko
- Lv35 Flareon [Fire]
Prize: P3080

Kimono Girl Sayo
- Lv35 Espeon [Psychic]
Prize: P3080

Kimono Girl Kuni
- Lv35 Vaporeon [Water]
Prize: P3080

Kimono Girl Miki
- Lv35 Jolteon [Electric]
Prize: P3080

The Director gifts us with the Clear Bell. Wow, how did he get that? It fell from the Tin Tower according to him. A really lucky find right there. We're done with Ecruteak City for now and we can Surf so prepare yourselves for our next backtrack run.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

/CHERRYGROVE CITY\
- On the island close to the beach is a Fisherman who gives us a Mystic Water. 

/FOREST PATH\
- On the west side of the pond is a Miracle Berry tree. 

/CHERRYGROVE BAY\
- Surf west from the Mystic Water Fisherman's island, eventually we'll see another island with a cave entrance. It leads to Cherrygrove Cave B1F but nothing we can do there until we have HM Waterfall. Surf north from that island to another B1F cave entrance. 

/CHERRYGROVE CAVE B1F\
Inside there's a hidden Big Pearl by the rock on the right. Into the water and surf up to climb some steps then go left to pick up an HP Up. Back to the steps, go right then up to 3 Ultra Balls. You'll see two sets of steps, go for the left set. Below those steps is a small pool and a small space on the side, it has a hidden Rare Candy on the top left tile (or see screenshot). Go back and head for the right set of steps, then surf to the northeast corner where you'll find a Max Repel and a ladder leading to 1F. Climb it and pick up an Elixer in the next area. Surf east, there's a waterfall up top but below is an island with 2 Rare Candys, one visible and one hidden on the left rock (or see screenshot). Back to B1F. Surf west along the north wall, all the way to locate the Pickaxe! Very good. Surf back round to the south side and carry on to the west, you'll see a Rare Candy next to another ladder. It is a shortcut to that Union Cave B3F area that we found in Alph Forest. Don't worry about the ladder for now, but it's cool to know we can reach that area without having to wait until night time so we can return to the forest. From the ladder surf down and descend a waterfall back to the area where we found the caved-in entrance. Clear the rubble away with the Pickaxe and step through.

Well, well what do we have here and look who comes over to meet us - ShockSlayer! He hasn't been down here very long actually, only a few minutes. But the entrance caved in and he thought he was trapped. It's good to see that he's okay. We hand over the Pickaxe and follow him to his work section. To thank us for saving him he says he'll forge us a gift that we have to come back to collect tomorrow. The gift turns out to be a sword! Aren't you 6 generations too early to forging swords, though?? xD. But it does the job of HM Cut so cheers to that and if you're in the mood for a friendly contest, SS is ready and willing.

He can be battled once a day. Check out his radio and change background music, I only recognised Guile's theme from Street Fighter haha no idea about the other songs, if you know them be sure to tell me. Above from the work section is a lever that can only be pulled from the left side, pull it to allow water to come flowing down. Pull it again to cut off the flow. Leave the Forge and make your way back to 1F. Get in the water and surf to the island, there's a hidden Max Revive (see screenshot). That's it for this place for now, next up we'll explore Dark Cave.

Head all the way up and jump down the first ledge if you want to reach that Potion. Go straight south then east, northeast to smash a rock and search for a hidden Elixer (see screenshot). Go to the northeast corner then down to see a Hyper Potion. Carry on south for a few steps until the path splits into two, go along the left way, skipping over a few ledges until getting to a Dire Hit. Ignore the exit to Route 46 and go up along the other way to a Full Heal. Return to the western side of the room and surf north to the entrance.

Go all the way north, there's a man in shades who'll give us BlackGlasses. Then go for the steps on the right and go east, you'll see the exit leading to Route 45 above, don't worry about it. Surf down then southwest to pick up TM13 Snore and then go over to the southeast side to find a Revive. The unknown man that sleepy guy met in the dark might be the Battle Tutor, he's in this room somewhere. According to the Main Doc he teaches "reasonable, but non-canon moves to boost the effectiveness of certain species". 

/VIOLET CITY\
- North of the eastern pond: Rare Candy. 
- Northwest from the western pond: PP Up. On the northeast side however is a secret entrance between some trees, it leads to Sprout Tower 3F. I don't know if there's something else happening if you haven't taken on the Sages for the Rainbow Wing but if you've done that already then at the moment you'll find Elder Sage Li and two other Sages but they are too distracted to notice your presence. 

/RUINS OF ALPH\
- Surf across the northwest pond, you'll reach an entrance to one more puzzle chamber. The clue for the puzzle says: 

"The Pokemon depicted here is said to have been lost to time. It appears to have covered itself in snow, perhaps as a way to camouflage its large figure. Perhaps these Pokemon roamed the land when these Ruins were still new?"

PILOSWINE! (see screenshot because damn, you'll need to sit down for this one). We don't fall through the floor this time, instead 2 Poke Balls appear on either side: 5 Gold Leafs on the left and 5 Silver Leafs on the right. Hmm, nice way to end our exploration of the Ruins...for now?

/UNION CAVE 1F\
- In the southwest area is another ladder leading to another B1F area, climb it.

Here we are in Olivine City. I lost track of the main Pokemon anime series when Ash and his friends departed from here all those years ago, aiming for the Whirl Islands. Not because I didn't like the anime, it was because we couldn't catch the foreign channel which was airing Pokemon anymore. It happens :| let's have a look around.

The house on the west side of town belongs to Honeybun, I'm guessing he's part of the Crystal Clear creative team because he asks about SS. He has just moved in here but doesn't mind having a quick battle.

Another character we can battle once a day. Leave and go to the next house, that's where the Fishing Guru lives. He gives us the Good Rod and says there is a secret fishing spot south of Blackthorn City where we can fish for Dragons. Noted. On the northeast side are two more houses, go in the left one. Tim lives here, he wants to trade Bowser the Squirtle for an Eevee. Ha, Bowser, not bad. It comes with TM07 Zap Cannon. In the original game this is where we would trade a Krabby for Volty the Voltorb. Next to the PokeCenter is the Olivine Cafe, you'll find Leftovers in the bin and receive HM04 Strength from the Sailor at the table. Had we been in Kanto we would need 4 Badges first. At the Olivine Port is a Sailor who sells S.S. Aqua Tickets for P10000. Yiish...but hey, we get to ride the boat anytime at least. Head for the Lighthouse.

Outside of the Ferry Port we find a woman named Sydney. Who could this be? Go inside the building and receive the Pass from the Sailor. Not only does the Fast Ferry travel between Route 40 and Cianwood City but it goes as far as Cerulean City too! Hmm, that is very tempting...but hold that thought for now. We'll travel to Cianwood City the old fashioned way and then we'll come back and head over to Cerulean for a brief visit.

 Suicune [Water]

On the north side of town is the Ferry Port, the ship only travels to Olivine from here. Just south from the Port is Suicune in one of its favourite spots, but when we try to approach it Suicune dashes off over the waves. Darn. Then here comes Eusine, in time to see Suicune leave. He has been training since our first battle, so get ready for Round 2.

Despite taking another loss, Eusine won't give up on his search for Suicune. Not until it acknowledges him. After Eusine leaves continue down to the house, this was the home of the Pokemon Seer in the original Crystal...but now it's a potential residence (P40000). Save up to buy it because in the basement we find this note from the Pokemon Seer next to a door: 

"To the next owner of this house...I forsee a great need of caution when entering the Whirl Islands...The light fades quickly as you enter the caves. And you may find yourself trapped forever! Ehehehe..."

- The Poke Seer

(OO!) Not good. The door leads to the northwest Whirl Islands cave. After checking the place out and exploring the other caves I can confirm that it is possible to reach Lugia without HMs Waterfall or Whirlpool. The little warning from the Poke Seer just means you should bring HM Flash. Phew. I was worried, thinking that Flash won't work. 

There's a hidden Revive outside the house (see screenshot) and on the beach just north of town is a hidden Max Ether (see screenshot). The Photo Studio is still running, if you still have a Game Boy Printer. In the house next to the PokeCenter is a guy who gives us his Shuckle, Lv10 and holding a Berry. Make room in your party first if you want it. No more SecretPotion at the Pharmacy but there are plenty of other medicines available:

Leave the Port and go next door to the Sea Cottage. Bill's grandfather is here looking after the house. In the original Crystal if you show him each of the Pokemon that he describes he'll give you an Evolution Stone: 

Lickitung -> Everstone
Oddish -> Leaf Stone
Growlithe - > Fire Stone
Staryu -> Water Stone
Pichu -> Thunderstone

I'm guessing it's the same for this game. The Sea Cottage is also a place we can stay at if you have P10000 to spare. If you buy it, go into the basement and inspect the machine above the computer, you'll find an old Silph Co. Visitor's Pass. Nice, hold on to that for now. There's grass growing behind the Cottage, but there's no back entrance or way to get there properly so we'll just make a note of that for now. Head west along the brick road, we'll see the tree maze above us and eventually arrive at the way in. The guy in red is Kevin, he'll ask us if we want to challenge the Nugget Brigade. Say Yes and he'll go off to wait for us at the end. First opponent is Dudley.

He is impressed by us and says we can challenge the Nugget Brigade again any time. Not a bad training spot. There are steps above us, climb them and go east, we end up on a slope looking down at the Sea Cottage garden (!) jump down from the far right edge next to the Port building. Check behind the Sea Cottage, there's a Pokemon hiding back there - Lv15 Pikablu! With a Powerful Aura too! It is holding a Water Stone and knows Surf, Ice Punch, Thunderbolt and Flash. What an amazing find :) I've only heard a little bit about Pikablu, never read more but I will next time I'm online. Back to the brick road and go all the way to the northwest area of the route, you'll find a tree on a hill - there's a hidden Potion in that tree. Then head south onto Route 24, the Nugget Bridge and Cerulean.

The house on the northeast side of town is up for sale (P40000), be sure to save up for it because it is a shortcut to the northeast side of Route 24 and a new cave located there. Cerulean Cave is open over on the western side, a dungeon we will get to explore later. The man roaming near the PokeCenter tells us that an accident has happened at the Power Plant, noted. Nothing else of note in town, so ready yourselves for Misty.

Go on and count them just to be sure, we got 8 Badges now :) EIGHT! Elixers are available at Marts. Even the League Office people know it and confirm that we are qualified to take on the Elite 4. All TM Sets can be accessed now because we have become a Masterful Trainer. Here is the final set: 

TM07 Zap Cannon P10000
TM14 Blizzard P10000
TM15 Hyper Potion P10000
TM22 Solar Beam P10000
TM25 Thunder P10000
TM26 Earthquake P10000
TM29 Psychic P10000
TM38 Fire Blast P10000

All this simply because we took a side trip to Cerulean xD, great success. You know what, we're only halfway done in collecting Badges so let's save the League for after we collect 'em all. The Elite 4 ain't going anywhere, they can wait. Save that Route 24 cave for when we come back to Kanto too, for now return to Johto and get ready for the next (and very brief) backtrack run...we have a new HM to test out, remember?

We find TM18 Rain Dance. In the northeast area is a scientist who has made a great discovery as far as Slowbro evolution goes, he gives us a King's Rock. And then there's the fellow in the northwest area, a young lad you'll recognise if you had a Super Nintendo back in the day and had the game Earthbound - Ness! We're given a warning about him, that he is very strong, and are asked if we are sure about battling him. He has a full team and the first Pokemon he sends out is a Lv58 Gengar! Okay...warning received. Well, we know where to find him now so just make a note of this for later. 

/BURNED TOWER B1F\
- That item turns out to be TM20 Endure and so ends this backtrack run. It's a good thing we're back in Ecruteak because we are headed east from here.

That's an Ultra Ball next to the Mt. Mortar signboard. Ignore Mt. Mortar for now, we'll explore it properly when we have Waterfall. Carry on to the bridge, we see Suicune and once again it runs from us. No Eusine this time. 

**NOTE: I was flying around Johto much later on to face some of the rematch callers and I found Suicune's next spot - near the National Park Gate entrance on Route 36. If you've got a Pokemon following you it will be seen by Suicune for a moment before it runs off :)

On the other side go behind the fence, there's a hidden Max Potion (see screenshot). Just southeast from the bridge is a Super Potion among Headbutt trees. Continue east, you'll see 3 Apricorn trees on the south side - Pink Apricorn tree on the left, Green Apricorn tree in the middle and Yellow Apricorn tree on the right. Fishing in the pond above those trees is Tully.

MAHOGANY BAZAAR
Wow, check this place out. The lady in purple that we meet on the way to the left side says the Poster Vendor might be faking his accent. We'll be the judge of that. The first Vendor on the left side sells Carpets for residences in Red, Blue, Yellow and Green colours and each costs P4000. Next is the Bed Vendor, sells Pink, Polkadot and Pikachu Beds that each go for P5000. The Poster Vendor is after that, selling Pikachu, Clefairy and Jigglypuff Posters for P1500 (dollarydoos) each. That accent though...I think he might be Swedish :) yup, definitely Swedish. The next Vendor sells Gold and Silver Trophies, P5000 each. Below him is a what looks like a poster but it's this place's For Sale spot, P60000 gets you a massive area of space below the Bazaar. Along the south side of the Bazaar are green machines that contain Poke Dolls. Insert P1000 and choose the one you want: 

- Pikachu, Surf Pika, Clefairy, Jigglypuff (far left machine)
- Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Poliwag (left machine)
- Diglett, Starmie, Magikarp, Oddish (middle machine)
- Gengar, Shellder, Grimer, Voltorb (right machine)
- Weedle, Unown, Geodude, Machop, Tentacool (far right machine)

In the southeast corner of the Bazaar is the Plant Vendor, selling Magna, Tropic and Jumbo Plants for P4800 each. Circle back to the north side and enter the inner area of the Bazaar, here we find the retro Console shop. There's an N64, a Wii, a SNES and an NES on the counter and you can switch each of them on to get a different background theme. I only recognised the NES' World 1-2 theme from Super Mario Bros. :) sorry about the other themes, maybe you know them? Each console costs P9800. Happy shopping!

...Several minutes later...

Next door to the Shop we learn a bit more about the Forest of Rage. The woman of the house says lightning strikes happen there (a chance of 1/8192 that happens) but if it does happen, we should head to the center of the forest. Okay...

In the PokeCenter speak to the man in blue, he saw a shady character enter the Bazaar on Friday. That character will be at the end of the east side corridor of the Bazaar on Friday nights. He used to be part of Team Rocket 4 years ago during their Silph Co. operation. He escaped after that event fell apart with a box containing a bunch of Master Balls (!) and has been holding onto them since then. He figures now is the time to start making money by selling them, for P150000 each. Beyond black market pricing right there xD but if you're not the gambling type then you now know who to find when you need Master Balls. 

We'll take on Pryce before leaving town, for now let's head north to see what's going on out there. In the Gate is Annie, she'll trade you Mahog the Swinub for any Pokemon. Neat :) it comes holding a Smoke Ball.

Seriously? That Event Magikarp had been here the whole time? :/ oh well, nice way to welcome us to the Lake of Rage. On the bright side, this place can be returned to using Fly. The Fishing Guru is still here, hoping to see a bigger Magikarp than the one listed on the signboard of his house. In the original Crystal if you show him a big Magikarp he would reward you with an Ether. No Lance by the shore this time, but we do meet someone better :)

Get in the water and go catch yourself that Lv45 Red Gyarados and pick up a Red Scale afterwards. Just like in the original Crystal you can trade that for an Exp. Share from Mr. Pokemon. Back to the shore and move up along the eastern side to take on Andre and then Lois way up on the northeastern edge of the lake:

From the entrance to the forest go to the north side then straight south to a space between tall trees, there's a hidden Fast Ball there (or see screenshot). Head northeast until you reach a gap between trees and you can either go left, down or right. Go right, eventually you'll get to TM02 Headbutt. Back up and go left this time until you reach the northwest edge of a lake. Surf south, you'll see an item ball of a different colour on a white bridge - it's a Luster Ball. Don't use or lose it, we'll need it much later so store it. Surf south across the second lake to a space among trees, there's a hidden Miracle Berry in the Headbutt tree at the center (or see screenshot). Go west to find a rocky hill, there's a hidden Rare Candy (see screenshot). Head south from there until you can turn right, then south and carry on east until you can go north a few steps to see an item ball between trees. Go left and up to reach it - TM08 Rock Smash. Come back down and continue east to leave the forest and enter another new place.

Go south to find steps and begin the hike up the mountain. You'll reach a breakable rock, smash it so you can get to the Sacred Ash above. Go south, there are two sets of steps and a breakable rock on the right. Smash the rock and search for a hidden Lucky Egg (see screenshot). Make a note of the top set of steps, we'll come back for them in a moment, then descend the bottom set. Descend the next set directly below the previous set, go right to climb more steps and continue east to another set. You should see a path going south, it leads to slopes looking down on Blackthorn City. Follow the path all the way south to find TM46 Thief. Back to Mt. Rose and carry on east to an open space that has a hidden Nugget (see screenshot). Return to the set of steps we made a note of, climb them and go to the right. Descend another set then another. Smash the rock that you see below and search for hidden Berry Juice (see screenshot). Back to the steps, smash the rock above them and go on to pick up TM24 Dragonbreath. If you carry on east from the steps you'll find a roaming Swinub up top, it could be lost but there's nothing we can do about that. Go southeast, you'll see a cave entrance above a ledge on the upper right. To reach it jump down the ledge on the bottom right and drop down a hole.

Interesting :) a new section of Silver Cave occupied by another new character that we'll come back for later - Adventurer Lena. She has a full team and her first Pokemon is over Lv40. South from her are TM27 Return, a Full Restore and an exit leading to slopes of Mt. Silver, ignore it. Go north from Lena, there's a hidden King's Rock by the rock on the right, and an entrance. In the next area you'll find 5 Ultra Balls on the rocky platform near the entrance. Circle round to the rocks on the southeast side of the platform, there's a hidden Max Potion by the bottom right rock. Carry on north, there's a hidden Scope Lens (see screenshot) and the exit that we saw from outside. 

Once you're back on Mt. Rose back track to the north side (the crater which contains water and has a hole on the bottom right). Don't drop through the hole, but know that it is a shortcut to the Dragon's Den. Convenient, no? So that was the Forest of Rage, Mt. Rose and a new section of Silver Cave. Return to Lake of Rage then Fisher Marvin's location on Route 43. From Marvin go northwest a few steps then up to the southwestern side of Lake of Rage (continuing northwest will take you to Mt. Mortar Peaks, avoid it for now). You'll pass a few ledges, after doing that turn right and see the screenshot for a hidden Full Restore. Continue north into the maze of trees, on the way up you'll see a guy on the left, that's Aaron.

Cut the tree next to him and carry on up along that path. If it is Wednesday we'll find Wesley around here, he'll give us a Black Belt. At the end of the path is a hidden Rare Candy (or see screenshot). Back to Aaron, if you go all the way to the northeast corner of the maze you'll find TM43 Detect. The item in the middle of the maze is an Elixer and at the northwest house is the man who gives us TM10 Hidden Power. If you haven't seen it yet, you can check your Pokemon's Hidden Power type in the last Stats section. We've covered Lake of Rage, head back to Mahogany and prep up for that ice cold old man.

10th Badge, give it here :) no nonsense like refusing to award us the Rising Badge this time. Max Elixers are now available at Marts and all Johto Badges have now been collected! The League Office gives us a warning to stay away from Cerulean Cave. Oh really...?

Only one HM remaining for us to find, you know where we'll get it from so prepare yourselves and wear something warm.

Up top is Protein. Get onto the ice from the left side to reach a PP Up. Back up and onto the ice from the middle and carry on down to the Blackthorn side exit. We got Waterfall at last, so you know what that means. 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
>THE GREAT BACKTRACK: WATERFALL EDITION<
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

/UNION CAVE B3F\
- Scale up the waterfall in the northwest, at the top we find a big rock in the water but it can't be smashed. On the north side is a boulder, push it into the water and watch as the flow of water is blocked. An entrance is revealed at the base of the former waterfall but that big rock we found will fall down and close up the entrance. Unbelievable xD. Don't worry about the north waterfall, the current is too strong for us to scale it, so jump down the ledges and let's inspect that closed entrance. We draw our Sword and try to open up the entrance haha, no no and no. Complete fail move right there. Lucky for us someone who knows better shows up to help, Shockslayer. He's been here before, noticing the absent waterfall. A Pickaxe would do a better job than the Sword, he brought it along and clears away the rubble for us. He says he needs the Pickaxe so we can't get it but maybe there's one in this new hole we've discovered. SS leaves and just as Pigy follows, he is stopped by some Unown that appear from nowhere and teleport Pigy (!) SS comes back, asking for Pigy - who emerges from the hole safe and sound. Huh. The two of them leave and we're left to wonder what's in that hole anyway?

[roau] RUINS OF ALPH (Union Cave B3F side)
Another area of the RoA (!) made up of one room which contains what look like stone pillars, an item ball on the north side and a dusty journal on the northeast side that has the following entry: 

"Pillars of stone taunt me, hiding secrets right in front of me. These Pokemon...or are they even? Their gaze upon me averts the truth I seek. I can feel them...changing things. I fear I cannot trust even my own eyes anymore. Why can't I read what's written on these walls? Part of me feels like I'm close...But part of me feels wrong and I need to get out of here..."

Who might have written this? And when?? Each pillar has a message put together by Unown, one of the pillars collapses after you read its message. You will need to have caught all 26 Unown for the messages to be visible, but they'll still not make any sense. 

**NOTE: I only figured out what's going on much, MUCH later. This note is from a few weeks ahead, on the day when I've finished typing the walkthrough actually :) A subreddit post about this place states that there is a cipher, which explains why the pillar messages look strange. The key for the cipher is as follows:

I <-> R
H <-> T
X <-> E
F <-> W
K <-> P
B <-> Z

I will show the original messages and their decoded forms in brackets. End of note. 

Starting from the southwest pillar, here are the messages: 

WIOBXN GUAIDRANS (FROZEN GUARDIANS)
OW HTIXX (OF THREE)
ZIRNG ONX TOMX (BRING ONE HOME)
HO MX (TO ME)

RNSHIUMXNH OW (INSTRUMENT OF)
SXAWOAM WOOHKIRNHS (SEAFOAM FOOTPRINTS)
KLAY RH WOI (PLAY IT FOR)
MY HIUHT (MY TRUTH)

This is from the pillar in the middle:

IXHUIN HTX (RETURN THE)
ANCXSHOI OW ALL (ANCESTOR OF ALL)
RN LAVXNDXI (IN LAVENDER)
TX FARHS (HE WAITS)

Written on the pillar second from the right: 

WRVX FANDXIXIS (FIVE WANDERERS)
OW KRGMXNH (OF PIGMENT)
UNRHXD HTXY (UNITED THEY)
WXASH (FEAST)

Right side pillar (this is the one which collapses after the message has been read): 

IAGRNG WOIXSH (RAGING FOREST)
OW LRGTHNRNG (OF LIGHTNING)
ALL OW US (ALL OF US)
FRLL SHIRPX (WILL STRIKE)

The north pillar doesn't show its message for some reason. But there you have it folks, do any of those messages make a lick of sense to you? Damn, where's Indiana or Lady Croft when you need them? The item ball is an Unown Tablet, it just shows the Unown Alphabet when used from the Key Items pocket. I went back to the Research Center at the Ruins to see if having the Tablet triggers any events or new dialogue from the researchers. Nothing. So for now just pick up the Unown Tablet and leave the far right pillar alone until we hopefully find out what to do about this place. 

Return to Mahogany, then back to Route 42 and enter Mt. Mortar via the eastern entrance. It's time we explore this place :) don't forget to leave one spot free in your party.

Prize: P2448

He met the man that we're here to find and was soundly defeated by him, damn. That ladder next to Miller leads to the area on the right side of the waterfall in the Entrance room, this is where we'll find a Revive. From Miller go all the way west and climb the ladder there, we'll pop up on the left side of the waterfall for an Ether. Back to the Lower Cave, head to the middle point and push aside the boulder. Proceed north until you can turn left, climb the rocky platform to pick another Hyper Potion. Descend the platform and continue north, on the next platform is an Ultra Ball. Carry on to the northeast corner, a Nugget is there. Jump down the ledges directly below, go southeast to find an Escape Rope. Back up and climb onto the platform to take on Markus.

North from the entrance is Markus' lost friend Hugh. 

Super Nerd Hugh
- Lv34 Seadra [Water]
Prize: P1360

Go west from the entrance, surf across a small pool, and find a Rare Candy in the southwest corner. Back to the entrance, go east until you get into water then go straight up to climb some steps and get a Max Potion. Back into the water and continue up to the next pool. After crossing it go all the way west to a third pool, surf up then go right. You should be seeing an item ball on a rocky platform, that's TM40 Defense Curl. After that carry on northeast to cross pool #4 and see another item ball on a platform, an Escape Rope. Reach the north side, you'll see an item ball on a platform below, a Dragon Scale. On the northwest side is a ladder, ignore it for a moment, surf over the pool below to get that Elixer. Go for the ladder.

We are now on the northern side of the Lower Cave/1F Inside room. Go south to the next rocky platform, there's an Iron on it. Back up and go east all the way to climb down some steps, on the rock directly below them is a hidden Max Repel. Go southwest from that rock to pick up a Max Potion. Back track to the rocky platform up top and climb down the steps that you passed on the way east. After those steps go south to find a Max Revive and then carry on to the northwest section, then straight down to a ladder. 

We're back in B1F, on the northwest side now. Check the rock just below the ladder for a hidden Max Revive. Move along the north side to the right and we finally find him - Kiyo the Karate King :) he's been training here ever since losing the Saffron Gym Leader title to Sabrina. Give the man props for still being motivated enough to keep training. He's ready for a battle and so are we.

 Togepi [Normal]

As you go up you'll see breakable rocks ahead and steps on the left, head for them and carry on northward through the grass until you reach another set of steps. Climb them and from there go south along the slope, eventually getting to an item ball above a ledge (Star Piece). Back up a bit and climb the steps just above where we got the Star Piece, go all the north to search the square rock there for a hidden Smoke Ball (see screenshot). Head back down and go east from the Star Piece spot until you see a path going north (and a couple of roaming Togepi on the left side). The path leads to stairs and a left turn, go up the stairs and continue east to get the item ball up top (Lucky Egg). Back track to the left turn and go along it, eventually you'll reach one of the roaming Togepi, it's a Lv5 and can be caught. Down below you'll see a cave entrance, for now just make a note of it and how to get here because at the moment the entrance only leads to an empty outside area which has grass but no wild Pokemon. I'm guessing maybe later on a special Pokemon will be found there. 

Return to the initial Mt. Mortar Peaks area (specifically to where you saw a few breakable rocks before descending the stairs). From those rocks go northeast until you see stairs leading to a path in the grass continuing northeast, stay on the mountain and go southeast, eventually you'll get to a Nugget. Now go for that grass path up top, climb the next stairs and go to the southeast side of the pool that you'll see. There's a hidden Silver Leaf (see screenshot). Backtrack to the breakable rocks area and climb up the stairs near them. Go east to climb up another set and head left to find a field journal that someone lost. Although hard to read, try to read it anyway and this is what we see: 

"...they seem t... appe...r to tho...
tr...ners who h...ve
a stron... b...nd wit...
the...r Pokemon..."

Keep reading and we get this last bit: 

"eve... roam...ng
leg...ndari...s res...
here a...ter d...feat
by th... str...nges...

Good to know this is where Legendary Pokemon end up if one is accidentally knocked out in a battle :) that hole you see below is just a shortcut to Mt. Mortar's Entrance area (eastern side). For now that covers Mt. Mortar Peaks. Return to Blackthorn and prepare for the trek down the mountain road.

Just over on the left side is the Dark Cave entrance, no worries about it since we already covered that area. As you should know, Route 45 is a one-way route split into a western path and an eastern path. But this is an open world game so this route isn't one-way anymore :) Go south along the western path, you'll reach an Elixer and then Parry.

Head east from Quentin and jump down the ledge there, the short path leads to the pond. Here we find a Nugget and a Mystery Berry tree. That hidden PP Up would've been in the pond in the original Crystal. We've covered the western path, now for the eastern path. Make your way back to the north side of the route and jump down the ledge on the right. The path splits up again here, on the left side is Erik and Ryan is on the right.

Where it all began. Head over to Red's house and have a chat with his Mom. She worries about him sometimes but she's happy that he's out there doing what he wants. This is also a potential residence (P10000). Daisy is over at Blue's house, she just tells us about Blue being a Gym Leader. At the Lab have a look at the computer and collect data on the the Kanto Starters. If you inspect the computer again you'll find an email addressed to Prof. Oak from Elm, in it Elm hopes that he and Oak could visit Mt. Mortar some time because the battle between Red and Gold caused some Pokemon on Mt. Silver to move to Mt. Mortar (!) a clash between Super Trainers right there. Then we speak to Oak and tell him about Kurt sending us here. Oak confirms that he does know a lot about Celebi and Legendary Pokemon, and believes that they shouldn't be disturbed by unworthy Trainers. But he sees the Badges that we've got and is confident that we're more than capable, so he gives us the GS Ball! Ahh yes, that wonderful plot device from the main anime :) things sure did work out for it in the anime, right? Oak says we should take it to Kurt, he'll know what to do with it. No problem, we'll hold onto the GS Ball for now. Gotta finish our tour of Kanto first.

South of Pallet is the sea path of Route 21, don't worry about it for now and return to Viridian then head north.

In the PokeCenter there's Chris, the man near the PC, he wants to trade Bobby the Natu for a Gastly. It'll be holding a RageCandyBar instead of a Mystery Berry. The house next to the Mart is a potential residence (P20000). North from the house are a Mint Berry tree on the left and an Ice Berry tree on the right. Brock is next, come prepared because he's got a full powerhouse team.

The girl's Pikachu is holding a Berry, take it if you need one. Exit the Museum and re-enter through the other entrance. An Easter Egg event is here: don't speak to the scientist next to the Old Amber, inspect the Old Amber 5 times and after the 6th look you'll be asked if you want to grab it while nobody is looking xD. Do Not. Speak to the scientist to get it properly. Afterwards exit the Museum and prep up if you need to then we head east.

The Shop is here but nobody is inside (?). In the original Crystal on Mondays at 8pm a pair of Clefairy will be dancing in the field on the left. You would break the rock they are dancing around for a Moon Stone. In the corner near the next entrance is Tiko, long time no see. She's here because of the strong connection that the mountain has with the Moon, so it seems like a good spot to train Pokemon under moonlight. She says she doesn't have much going on between Missions, which just made me think of Pokemon Unbound immediately xD but that is a clue to what kind of Trainer Tiko is and we find out when she asks for a battle and if we accept. She's an Ace Trainer with a full team of Lv60+ Pokemon! So let's just make a note of this spot and we'll come back to face her later. Go through the entrance, follow the path west. Towards the northwest side we'll find Lemon roaming about and just above the exit is a hidden PP Up (see screenshot).

We appear in another area of Route 3. Head south then west to climb the hill, on which we find a large building - Ace Trainer HQ. Whoa. A smaller building is just below the hill - Grizz's Lab. On the patch of land in the pool on the left side is TM17 Protect. Let's check out the Lab first then HQ.

GRIZZ'S LAB

Grizz is present and so is a pair of Dunsparce, a green one named Parcely and a pink one named Noriko. Grizz says he maintains the tutor databases for both regions. He needs a bug tester for something he has been working on, and that leads to the Battle Tutor option being unlocked for PCs. You'll find it under the "Grizz's PC" option. We can battle Grizz as a test run but he's got a full team of Lv60+ Pokemon so let's save this match for later. 

ACE TRAINER HQ

According to the guard at the front desk Ace Trainers used to work from the Indigo Plateau but the place became rather crowded so they've moved out here to their own spot. Go to the southwest side, we find a PC, a healing machine and a woman named Kyrto who wants to trade her Wobbuffet Weatherby for a Wooper. It'll come with a Focus Band. Upstairs there's a room we can make our own for P60000. The other rooms belong to Robert and Ryan, both are locked. Nothing else to be done here so make your way back to Mt. Moon's 1F and head east from the entrance area. 

A few paces from the signpost we'll find TM08 Rock Smash. Go north to see a rocky platform that has a blue item ball, that's a Great Ball x5. Southeast from there is a ladder, climb it to reach a B1F corridor. Get to the southeast corner of the corridor, there's a hidden HP UP (see screenshot). A few steps to the left are 3 Revives and the next ladder.

If he could only turn around and pick up that Escape Rope on the left he'd be out of here in a jiffy. Go to the right and pick up 2 Nuggets then back to 1F.

- Mt. Moon B2F (Monday)
- Route 7 (Tuesday)
- Cinnabar Tunnel (Wednesday)
- New secret area within Mt. Silver (Thursday)

Go southeast from him, you'll see TM28 Dig below and then on the northeast point is a hidden Moon Stone under a breakable rock. Carry on south and circle round to a north point where we meet Shaun.

Super Nerd Shaun
- Lv45 Electabuzz [Electric]
- Lv43 Muk [Poison]

If he only took a few steps up he would've found the one remaining Helix Fossil and a hidden Big Mushroom (see screenshot). Carry on to the northwest side, there's a hidden Hard Stone on the rock above the exit ladder. In the next room there's one more hidden Moon Stone under the breakable rock and then TM19 Giga Drain in the exit/entrance room after.

That's an HP Up above her, you'll have to come round from Route 24 or walk through walls to get it. Continue east into Cerulean and let's buy that northeastern house so that we can get to that Route 24 cave. Remember that the house costs P40000. Once you've got the house exit via the east door and go north onto the Route 24 mountain trail. On the way up you'll see a house on the left, one of the Cerulean citizens speak of it, carry on up to find stairs leading to water. From there surf south to reach the house. Inside we meet a man who found a blue Egg that washed up on his porch. He'll give it to us if we have enough Badges, including the Cascade Badge. A Shiny Ditto will hatch from it. Back to the mountain trail and enter the cave.

-Area 3-

On the upper left is an Escape Rope and that's a Rare Candy below. Surf south to a big island which has an item ball on the north side (Moon Stone) and a ladder on the west side. South of the island are 2 exits, the southwest exit leads to an area where you'll find a roaming Lapras while the southeast exit just leads to an empty area (empty for now?) which requires Waterfall. Climb the ladder back to the Main Area, go north then turn left, that way leads to a Rare Candy. If you continue north then northwest you'll reach the blue Swinub which you may have noticed when you went to find the Heavy Ball. It's named Bloink and isn't lost. That's all for the Route 24 Cave, return to Cerulean and prepare for our journey south. There are 3 paths from Cerulean to Route 5 - left, middle and right. Take the middle path.

Below them is the Saffron Gate, go in and while we're back in Saffron we can find out if that old Silph Co. Pass still works. 

The guard at Silph Co. sees the Pass and lets us through, thinking that we're the architect that his boss mentioned. Yes we are :)

-2F-

There's a computer here, have a look at it. A program is running and after a loading error a trio of Porygon appears (!) each one of them is Lv50 and can be caught. They can be reset by leaving the room and coming back. Afterwards return to Route 5 and let's check out the new and improved Kanto Underground Path.

KANTO UNDERGROUND PATH

Once you're downstairs go south a few paces to find an intersection with stairs in the middle. On the left wall is a flyer which says: 

"Amatuer Battlers
P3000 to enter!"

And something else is written behind it: 

"Battles held on M/W/F, below the Underground!"

The Battle Tower has been shut down in this game but in its place is the Arena found further below the Underground via those stairs in the middle. 

[tare] THE ARENA

Every Monday, Wednesday or Friday this is where the real action is. You keep battling until you forfeit or are defeated. You get to heal at the start of every 5th battle and receive 1 extra Point for your set Point multiplier. Also, every 5th battle is against a special opponent. If you lose you cannot compete again until the next day. 100 battles is the maximum number you can compete in per day.

Use the PC on the left to heal your party, access the regular PC menu or set the rules for the kind of matches that you wish to take part in: 

Pool: 3 choices are available - Fully Evolved, Little League, Both.

Bans: 3 choices are available - Legends, Pigyournament, Both

Levels: Scaled, 5, 50, 100 
- Scaled gives EXP but few Points.
- All the Levels give Stat Points. 

Species Clause: On or Off

Item Clause: On or Off

Difficulty: ranges from 0 (which yields only 1 Point regardless of Pool setting) to 255 (which yields 225 Points under Little Cup and Fully Evolved settings with a full team, and 110 Points under the Both setting and if you have 3 Pokemon).

Next to the PC are the Ban Lists:

On the right side are the Point shops:

Pokemon shop		Item shop
............		.........			
Wobbuffet 500 Laptop 65000
Snubbull 1000		Booster Ball 10000
Hitmonlee 1200		Applicator 9000	
Hitmonchan 1200		Leaf Pack 1000
Hitmontop 1200		Nugget 500
Slowking 1500

According to user Justin, the Laptop allows us to access the PC while we're on the go. The Gen 8 games have that as a standard feature now so that's very cool to see it available in a way in this game. Because I usually catch plenty of Pokemon for my walkthrough work, access to the PC anytime is key for me. The Booster Ball strengthens the Pokemon it captures. The Applicator boosts the maximum of Stat EXP items (Protein and so on). The Leaf Pack contains 5 Gold and Silver Leaves. 

In the battle area we'll find Copycat Girl on the east side, so this is her part time gig, eh? She does Mirror Matches which allow us to battle ourselves. Whenever you're ready for the Arena matches speak to the Announcer on the northwest side. 

After competing in the Arena and you return to the Underground Path, you'll find a woman named Beth near the stairs leading to the Arena. Yes, this is the same Beth from Savage Real Estates :) She needs some help with some property that she can't sell but her boss wants her to get rid of it. Beth asks us to move to that property. Say Yes and she'll tell us that we can't just walk over to the property, we have to use the House Key to literally teleport us to the place, which turns to be quite the residence (OO.)

[bato] BATTLE TOWER
Surprise! Initially I thought it would be some dodgy place somewhere in Kanto xD I did not see this coming at all. There are some hidden items around here (see screenshots): Brick Piece, Escape Rope, Metal Powder, Big Mushroom. There's nothing of note inside though but until we register another residence, whenever you use the House Key it will send us here. You can Fly away, Teleport or exit through the trees at the end of the entrance path. Return to the Underground Path. 

By the way, if you go back to the Arena on any other day the Bouncer will stop you, saying they're packing up and you shouldn't be here then you're thrown out and the stairs disappear. Rule #1 about The Arena :) Also, I found the Announcer having a meal at the Goldenrod Cafe (it was on a Tuesday) and after forcing him to confirm that he is the same guy, he'll give out free Points just to leave him alone. I received 1200 Points, am not sure if that's the default amount or it varies. 

Going to the east side in the Underground Path leads you to TM48 Fire Punch and the exit/entrance on Route 8. Going west leads to Route 7. We're going south to Route 6 and Vermilion City.

As far as Kanto Town and City themes go, Vermilion's theme is still my favourite. Let's look around before visiting that Lightning Australian :)

The potential residence is the house to the right of the PokeCenter (P30000). Across from there is the home of the Egg Moves and Future Moves Tutors. The Egg Moves Tutor wants Gold Leaves for his services while the Future Moves Tutor wants Silver Leaves. 

There's a man in red behind the fence on the northeast side, he'll give you an HP Up. Over at the Pokemon Fan Club listen to the Chairman and receive a Rare Candy. Since we found other ways to travel between Johto and Kanto I had forgotten about travelling via the S.S. Aqua. We'll do that now, consider it as training before the Gym. 

VERMILION PORT

In the underground corridor we'll find Louisa, she wants to trade Simone the Staryu for a Krabby. Simone will have TM Hidden Power. At the Port, on the east side we'll find the Sailor who would give us HM Strength if we have at least 4 Badges. Get in the water, surf down to a gap you'll see on the bottom right, go through and surf all the way up to find a truck parked way out here of all places xD random. Use Strength and push the truck twice to the right then look underneath from the front - our PokeDex gets updated! Now it includes information on Mew :) I am aware of the Mew x truck game reference but It's something I only found out about several years after playing Gen 1. Only in a ROMhack have I encountered Mew. According to our updated Dex Mew's current location is the Pokemon Mansion's basement, but we have to complete an Event involving Mewtwo first. Noted. Return to the main port area and board that fast ship.

As soon as we enter the hallway a man runs into us, saying his granddaughter is missing and if we find her we should let him know. No problem. Our cabin is on the west end of the hallway, with a Sailor outside to point it out for us. If you want to rest up or switch up your party everything you need is there. 2 cabins east from ours we'll meet the first Trainer passenger Noland.

Carry on to find stairs which lead to the Captain's cabin. In there we find the Captain and the granddaughter. After finding out that her grandpa is worried, the girl comes along with us back to his cabin. For helping him out grandpa gives us a Metal Coat. We then get the announcement about the ship finally arriving in Olivine. Disembark from the ship and return to Vermilion. It's Gym time and if you thought Brock had a power team, Surge has pushed the bar up a few levels with a surprise party member. Vicious.

[g13] VERMILION CITY GYM
Leader: Lt. Surge - The Lightning American

Search the shrub next to the Gym for a hidden Full Heal. The switches are still off 4 years later but we can't just walk up to Surge without facing at least one of his Gym Trainers. On the left side there's Horton, up top is Vincent and on the right side is Gregory.

The path will turn south and lead to a wide grassy space where we see a roaming Rapidash and a man named Noak, a former Pokemon Professor. That career went out the window when his research lab collapsed. Ever since then he's been running a ranch out here but he still studies Pokemon and is interested in checking out ours through battle. He has a full team of Pokemon over Lv65, so save this match for later. Head south, you'll soon see an item ball on a hill (Great Ball x5). Continuing a few steps down will lead you to Route 11 so go back to Noak and head north, northeast. We'll find a cave entrance and Noak's Lab above it. Nothing of note is in the Lab except an entry in a notebook about the Pokemon Noak is researching - Ekans. If you need a Bitter Berry you'll find a tree across the water east from the Lab. After that head for the cave.

There are 4 ladders and 3 exits/entrances here, so strap in as we attempt to cover this place. Go straight up to find the first ladder on top of a rocky platform, climb onto it. 

-2F-

A small area which just goes west and east. Go east to find 3 Super Potions. Don't worry about the ladder on the other end, return to the Main Area via the ladder we climbed. 

Then get in the water and surf up, you'll see an item ball on the right (5 Revives) and another ladder on the left. A hidden Max Potion is just below the ladder (see screenshot). Climb the ladder, eventually you'll end up on the slopes of the mountain. 

Go north then east, there are roaming Lv50 Aerodactyl here. You can try to catch one if you don't want to wait until we get that Old Amber checked out on Cinnabar :) 

Afterwards return to the Main Area, surf south then go east and northeast to some stairs on a rocky platform. Search the bottom most rock of the 3 rocks next to the stairs for a hidden Star Piece. Carry on southeast to another set of stairs on a platform and an exit below. Go up onto the platform to reach a ladder in the northeast corner. 

-B1F-

Head north all the way. There's a hidden Rare Candy on the southwest rock, 5 Poke Balls up top and an exit on the right, it leads to Route 8. Back to the Main Area and go through the exit we left behind moments ago. 

We've left the cave and enter a maze of trees. Go down and cut the tree on the left if you want to reach those 2 Ultra Balls. There's a hidden Hyper Potion there too (see screenshot). That other item ball further left is an HP Up. If you continue south through the maze you'll reach a ledge, below it is a Gate which leads to Route 12. We've covered Grullo Gorge and Cave, great, so return to Saffron and head west to Route 7.

We got a couple of things to do before seeing Erika, here we go: 

CELADON MANSION

Go in through the front entrance and head up to 2F (Game Freak Meeting Room). Someone left the computer on and was in the middle of typing out an email that you can read. 

-3F- (Game Freak Development Room)

The Game Freak crew is here, you can interact with the Game Programmer's computer for a very, very brief Easter Egg. Exit the Mansion and go through the back door. Reach the rooftop house and listen to the man's scary story in order to receive TM03 Curse. 

The apartment building between the Mansion and the Dept. Store is a potential residence (P50000).

Darn, no hidden Coins lying around. But the big guy in red just to the left from the entrance shares one with us. The Gym Guide guy is here too, trying to earn some too...and probably because of the Gym's policy :) maybe he should crossdress like Ash had to do xD. At the front desk speak to the man in green if you wish to buy Coins. There are two posters, the original one which used to have a secret switch and then a new poster on the right. It is hiding a flight of stairs headed below. Hmm. Go downstairs and who do we find here? Jata the (last?) Rocket!

Mother of Christine, Lv70 already?? And there are only 2 Gyms remaining, should we expect Blaine and Janine to have Legendary Pokemon too? Damn. Badge #14 acquired and Mystery Berries are now available at Marts. Too bad the regular Trainers don't scale up to a few levels above the previous Gym Leader we've defeated (or are a few levels under that Leader's strongest Pokemon) because it's a little ridiculous that the strongest regular Trainer we defeated before we even set foot into Erika's Gym was a Rocket whose highest level Pokemon is at Lv43. Anyway folks, we're done with Celadon. Head back to Saffron and go east. No rush to the next 2 Gyms, we'll have to make the most of our journey to them or fail while trying :|

Not as dreary as it used be, thumbs up for modern Lavender. If you're looking for the Mod Station it's the south house. Mr. Fuji is at the Volunteer House, just watching over the Pokemon there. 

KANTO RADIO STATION

The bespectacled man next to the PC is the Kanto TM Moves Tutor. The poster next to the security guard is the For Sale sign (P60000 if you want to move into the penthouse up top). In the recording booth below we find DJ Fef, host of the WFEF radio channel, and the Music Director. Fef is having a great time here, with a cool radio gig and everything. We can battle him too but he's got a full team of Lv65+ Pokemon. What I propose is let's get to Fuchsia City first and then as preparation for Janine we'll take on Fef and the other special character Trainers that we've paused on facing. On Fef's desk are notes about a special Poliwag nicknamed Gottlebei with 15 for its last 4 DVs and Dark as its Hidden Power type. That's all for Lavender, head north for Route 10 and Rock Tunnel.

Head west then north to the next ladder. 

Go south, southwest all the way to find an Iron and Weird Grape the purple Swinub on a rocky platform. Head southeast for the ladder. 

Just to the left of the ladder is a deadend of rocks, at the end of it is a hidden X Accuracy. A few paces west from there is the exit.

Afterwards go north into water and surf south for the Power Plant, on the way down we're spotted by the thunder bird Zapdos from above the building (!) Zapdos then flies off to the west side.

During our journey so far we've only heard that something bad has gone down here. As you can see when we're inside, whatever happened here is enough to turn this place back into the Gen 1 dungeon form of the Power Plant. Go all the way up and turn right, there's a hidden HP Up in the doorway (see screenshot). Carry on east then south, on the way down you'll see an item ball in the room on the right - it's a Lv25 Voltorb. Make a note of that room, we'll be back. Catch or defeat Voltorb then continue south to find another Voltorb on the left. A few steps below is a 3rd Voltorb in the doorway to the south room. Enter that room and find a Rare Candy in the east corner. Exit the room and enter the one just northeast from the doorway. Go east until you see an item ball between rubble, that's a Lv30 Electrode. Go south into the room below, on the left is an item ball (TM25 Thunder) and on the far right is a Max Elixer. Exit the room and continue east then north to the big northeast room. There are two item balls up top, the top left one is an Electrode and the other one is TM07 Zap Cannon. Exit the room and continue west along the corridor until you reach the north room, there's a hidden PP Up here (see screenshot). Head south to see a Voltorb in a doorway to a small room that contains a Carbos. Carry on to the northwest side, the item ball among rubble is TM41 ThunderPunch and over in the west room with an exit is a Thunderstone. Go outside, up onto the slope and to the right side to find Zapdos. Catch it if you dare!

Nice :) 1 down, 2 more are out in the world. Go back inside the Plant and return to the middle room that we made a note of earlier. In it we find a stairway headed below. On the block right next to the stairway is a hidden Metal Coat (or see screenshot). 

-Power Plant Basement- 

One of the Plant employees is in the Route 10 PokeCenter, he mentions that there are backup generators and the report papers we find on the desks here add more information about them. The generators will keep the Power Plant running in case Zapdos came back and does damage to the upper area, which it did. But the reason why Zapdos returned is because of another Legendary Pokemon which is here. Go over to the generator area and meet this Pokemon. Catch it if you can.

Maybe our overworld encounters with Suicune allowed the PokeDex to update because its information is there, so now we know where to find it. That leaves Entei. Could it be on Cinnabar maybe? We'll find out. Leave the Power Plant, go back north then west.

Phew, we've finally made it to Fuchsia. The Safari Zone has been reopened and a new area is in there for Trainers to explore, nice :) town tour first then the Safari Zone and some training before the showdown with Janine. 

In the northwest corner of town is a Burnt Berry tree. 

Check the trash bin in the central building for a Nugget. 

We would've found HM Surf among the boxes in the Safari Warden's House, there's nothing there now. Next door is the potential residence (P30000), it even comes with a backyard pool full of Pokemon :) skinny dip in that at your own risk. 

Bill's sister lives next to the Gym, she just tells us about grandpa looking after the Sea Cottage. Next door is the Modification Station.

This is the new area available in the Safari Zone. Go east into the grass all the way then north to cross a pool of water and find someone wandering about in the northeast grass. This is one of those roaming Trainers Cat. She came here looking for a Lucky Egg but there are no Chansey in this area so no luck. The good news is she only has one Pokemon...but it's a Shiny Lv100 Electrode named Sanic xD. Yeah, a HARD pause on this battle until later. When we defeat her she will follow this schedule: 

- Goldenrod Cafe (Tuesdays)
- Safari Zone Forest Area (Any other day)

Climb onto the rocky hill near her, go west and climb down to pick up that Ultra Ball on the right. Continue west then south along a path between shrubs to find a Max Potion. Return to this Area's entrance and go west from there.

Go southwest to climb up the rocky hill and climb down on the other side. Circle round to the Ranger Station up top, there's a Nugget outside. Surf across the pool to pick up a Rare Candy. That building is for the Warden but he isn't there, only another Ranger is. Return to the southeast side of the hill and head east back to the Entrance Area. Once there, turn north and go up to find a Lucky Punch. That's the Safari Zone for you :) when you're done head back to town and prep up because it will be time for a battle-heavy backtrack run.

Huh, compared to the other major battles we've had before...this one wasn't that bad. No crazy surprises too, thank goodness. Badge #15 in the bag and Rare Candies are now being sold at Marts. One more Badge is left for us to collect, but first we'll head west to conquer Cycling Road and then we'll go south from Fuchsia to the open sea.

BIKER BAR
I'm getting some Terminator 2 vibes as soon as we walk, well, ride in. We could be moments away from a fight breaking out, this IS a bar after all :) the woman by the entrance is June, she wants to trade Diva the Smoochum for a Ledyba. Diva holds TM45 Attract, its Hidden Power type is Dark and it has 15 across all its DVs. Up top we'll see a battle area occupied by a Krabby named Bubbles and a Sneasel named Buttercup haha not bad. The barman is serving these goods:

When you're done leave the bar and go behind the building. Cut the tree and search the back entrance for a Rare Candy. The house on the northwest side of Route 16 is where we would receive HM Fly. We're done with Cycling Road, if you need to stop over at Celadon to shop or anything do so now then return to Fuchsia and go south to the sea!

Southeast from the ladder is an Ultra Ball and in the northeast is a hidden Water Stone on the stairs (see screenshot) and another ladder. Climb it back to B3F where we find a King's Rock, then the next ladder back to B2F where there's one more boulder to push. Return to B4F, surf to the southeast corner to find TM14 Blizzard. Back to solid ground, back to the ladder which brought us to this floor, search the stairs on the left a hidden Escape Rope then surf to the northwest platform. Search the stairs there for a hidden Ultra Ball, what perfect timing because you might need it for the ice bird just up ahead!

[arti] Articuno - The Freeze Pokemon
[Ice/Flying]
Level: 50
Hidden Power: Flying
Moves: Fly, Agility, Mind Reader, Ice Beam

On the spot Articuno was standing is a hidden Rare Candy. Go back to B3F, surf over to the northeast side where you'll find a ladder, a Dragon Scale and a hidden PokeFlute on the bottom right corner of the ledge (see screenshot). This ledge you can jump back onto, but more importantly why is the PokeFlute out here? So random, but we'll hang onto it. Don't worry about the ladder, it just leads to the Seafoam Islands' eastern exit/entrance. Use the Escape Rope to leave and go back to New Cinnabar. 

We're finally here, the new home of the final Gym Badge. We learn that this island was formed by molten lava and thanks to Blaine and his Pokemon people were able to move from old Cinnabar to New Cinnabar through Cinnabar Tunnel which the Pokemon carved out. We'll have a look around first before challenging that baldheaded quizmaster....wait, he wasn't doing the quiz gimmick anymore in Gen 2. So what's he doing in this game?

If it is the weekend, you'll find Mr and Mrs Chaos at the Mart. They like spending their weekends on Cinnabar. Chaos bought some drinks and has an extra Lemonade to give us. 

The For Sale sign is in the Ferry Service building, next to the terminal door (P60000) and you'll be living in the fancy boat nearby. 

We can buy Mail at the house next to the Cinnabar Lab: 

(P50 each)
Flower Mail
Eon Mail 
Morph Mail 
Bluesky Mail 
Lovely Mail
Surf Mail
LiteblueMail
PortraitMail
Music Mail
Mirage Mail

Check the fence poles near the house for a hidden Rare Candy.

CINNABAR LAB

The guard who is opposite the front desk says he's having trouble with his computer because of an issue at the Fossil Lab. If you inspect his computer you'll notice that it has a blue screen and the guard is only pretending to fix it xD there's also a button under the desk, press it to set off the alarm :) Dexter's big sister Dee Dee would be proud. Speak to the guard later to receive a Soda Pop from him. Enter the middle room and check the computer, this is where we get the experimental PokeDex update we found out about at the first Modification Station. Say Yes to install the update and pick up the Upgrade Card for the Dex Tracker on the desk. The scientist will then tell us that thanks to that device we can now track Pokemon which have specific Hidden Powers. In the east room is Ivan, the man who can revive Fossils for us. The bad news he can't revive them instantly, we get his number and he'll call us when the revived Pokemon is ready. In the meantime, we'll head over to the Gym.

Right after the match Blaine pulls a switch behind one of the statues to set up a bridge to the northeast platform. Congratulations ladies and gentlemen, all 16 Gym Badges have now been collected! Sacred Ash is available at Marts. All eyes are on the Pokemon League, but we got plenty to do on the way there. When you're ready, exit the Gym and surf southwest from the Mart to find the entrance to Cinnabar Tunnel.

Blaine and his Pokemon carved out this place? Damn, props to them. Follow the path up then west until you see a pool of water to the south. Surf across to a corner in the southeast, someone is there - this is Maki, she wants a Beedrill to trade for her Lickitung Yum Yum. It's holding TM42 Dream Eater, has Dark as the Hidden Power type and 15 for all DVs. Back to the tunnel path, continue west. You'll eventually find an entrance on the left side and the exit on the south side. That entrance leads to Pokemon Mansion, we'll go there in a few moments, for now exit.

We're just here for the Mansion but if you're looking for another residence, check the house on the eastern rocky hill (P50000). It has a back entrance which leads to an area of Cinnabar Tunnel where you'll find TM08 Rock Smash. Don't drop through the hole or you'll be back in the middle of the Tunnel. On the northwest side of the island is a hidden Rare Candy (see screenshot). Back into the Tunnel and let's find out what's left of Pokemon Mansion.

This place, still giving off them ominious vibes...more so because we don't know what surprises are waiting for us here. Go up then northeast, we'll come back for those stairs. On the north side you'll find a PP Up and a locked room below. Carry on to the northeast then straight down to the southeast for a Full Restore. Another locked room is here. Back to the north side then northwest to press a secret button on the statue - this leads to the 2 locked rooms being unlocked. The button on this statue stays pressed. In the first unlocked room we find TM22 Solarbeam and a Rare Candy. The second unlocked room has a Protein and a stairway leading to the basement. Just make a note of that stairway for now, go back to the entrance area and head up stairs.

Back to the statue, press the button to unlock the southwest room and the middle room. On the table in the southwest room is an HP Up and in the middle room we find TM38 Fire Blast.

Back to the statue then go to the southeast room, on the way you'll find TM14 Blizzard, and descend the stairs back to 2F. In the room we appear, you'll find a Rare Candy. Back to 3F and 2F, go climb the other stairs back to 3F. We appear in the southwest room where we'll find an Iron on a table and an Escape Rope on the left side. Go back to 1F and head for the basement.

Go up, turn left into the open room where you'll find a Max Revive on the table and a statue in the corner. Press the statue button to unlock the right side door that we saw on the way up, exit the room and go to the northwest room to pick up a Max Potion on the table. Then return to the open room but don't back in, instead go to the rubble on southwest side of the room. You'll notice a part of the rubble looks odd, this is where Dig is needed. Have your Pokemon a make path through the rubble and then reach that green capsule in the southwest room. It has the word DANGER on it and looks fragile, but we need to inspect it some more...and we notice some small life forms inside (?) Then there's a sudden earthquake, the capsule cracks open and we're doused in unknown chemicals! Before we can do anything else we pass out...

...when we wake up again we check inside the capsule and discover that the life forms have vanished! Not good :\ where have they gone? Hopefully we'll find out later. Exit Pokemon Mansion.

It's the same Victory Road as the original Gen 2 map, meaning no Trainers, so let's sweep through this. There's a hidden Full Heal on the rock just west from the entrance (see screenshot). In the northeast area are another Full Heal and a Max Revive. After that go northwest for the ladder. 

-2F-

Head east onto the rocky platform, that's an HP Up above the ledge by the stairs, then go north to the next ladder. 

-3F-

Climb onto the rocky platform above the ladder and circle round to the southeast side to reach another ladder, it leads us to the northeast side of 2F where we find a Full Restore. Return to 3F and get to the northwest side, jump through the hole to drop down in the northwest area of 2F. There we find TM26 Earthquake and a hidden Max Potion on the rock right next to it. Jump off the ledge on the right, back to 3F and exit. 

[rt23] ROUTE 23
I'd forgotten how brief and underwhelming Gen 2 Victory Road was xD, that's one major area which should've gotten some pimping up in this game. Speaking of brief, that perfectly describes this route.

Welcome to the League folks, after quite the journey that we've had. We didn't get to save the world or anything but it's been fun being able to explore both regions at our own pace and work our way here. It has made me wonder if Gen 2 should've been structured like this: start in Johto, get all 8 Badges, be allowed to travel to Kanto, get the Badges there and then the League. Hmm. I would think maybe there is at least one ROM hack out there which has attempted this. 

Near the healing station is an old man and his Abra, if you need to do more training it will teleport you back to your current registered residence. Over on the east side of the room is the Battle Simulator, this allows us to take on the original Gen 2 Elite 4, Champion Lance and a bonus match against Shockslayer in his Nuzlocker form :) I'm going to be covering these battles next for those of you who are interested, but if you're ready to try your luck against the new Elite 4 then skip down to after the SS battle.

Before we can meet the new Elite 4 members we find out the 2 rules that are now in effect: 

* We can't switch out Pokemon before our opponent sends out a new one. 
* No use of Items during battle.

Really, no use of Items? :/ BUT this applies for the Elite 4 and the Champion as well. After confirming one more time that we want to challenge the Elite 4 we bump into DJ Fef just before we leave for the first room! Come on, xD of all the times. He heard about us challenging the Elite 4 and has decided to "interview" us right here, right now. Well, we haven't exactly had any Rivals ambushing us here and there during our journey so here we go...

Luckily the woman at the desk heals our team afterwards, she's just as surprised by Fef as we are. Then we finally move on to meet the new Elite 4: 

Honeybun
Robert
Fibbef
Doom

Seriously? This motley bunch of random characters that we've met during our journey are the Elite 4?? Wow...I'm so surprised I am not sure what to say about this. I was expecting to see one or two familiar major characters from Gen 2 or something. If you've spent enough time in the Arena you might have seen the Gen 2 Elite 4 with new battle sprites, so maybe each of them can be battled elsewhere? Honeybun says it's been a long time since someone has challenged them so they're looking forward to taking us on. After they return to their rooms we go through the middle doorway into a series of corridors before reaching the first room occupied by Robert.

And that was the new Elite 4, so what did you think of them? Now for the new Champion, who could that be? Prepare and proceed to the fifth room, which turns out to be a fine throne room with a pair of Shiny Rattata running about. They just had to be Shiny xD. Waiting for us in front of the Hall of Fame doors is.........Shockslayer! The hits just keep on coming, he's the Champ?? I thought it would be Gold or maybe even Silver or Kris since we haven't seen any signs of them so far, it would've been a cool reveal. Anyway SS wants to see if we're worthy of entering the Hall of Fame. We've made this far, so why not? For the League Championship, it's you vs SS :) get it done!

There you have it ladies and gentlemen, you are now the NEW Pokemon League Champion! What do you think of Shockslayer's Champion team? A fair walk in the park or you stumbled your way through that fight? Well, we're not done yet because just as he's about to induct us into the Hall of Fame, here comes the Pigy with a surprise attack (!?)

**BATTLE NOTES:

- If you try to catch Pigy you will be told that it's moving too fast to be caught haha, oh well. 

SS scalds Pigy for attacking the rightful Champ and tells it to stay while we go into the Hall of Fame. Congratulations! 

....Several minutes later....

			//**POST-GAME ARC**\\

Right after we're inducted, we're back outside League HQ. No credits :) We've made it into what might as well be the post-game section. There are a couple of big battles to be fought and some Legendary Pokemon to be found, that's all. No post-game plot unfortunately, there wasn't one in the main game anyway. Prepare to leave for Route 28, the final route in Kanto. We get there by going west from the League Reception Gate.

When we arrive here you'll see an old man and an open space between shrubs above him. Get up there to find a hidden Rare Candy (see screenshot). If you head west along that north way you'll eventually reach DJ Lily's secret house, she'll give us TM47 Steel Wing if we don't tell anyone about her hideaway spot. This place is also a potential residence (P20000). Continue west from there.

We'll leave the path of shrubs and reach the PokeCenter, stop over there if you need to, then carry on to the southwest area where we'll see a cave entrance. There's a hidden Full Restore near the entrance (see screenshot). In that cave is the final Legendary Bird :) catch it if you can.

Here we are, Mt. Silver. It would've been a nice touch if there were some Trainers here, those who have earned all the Badges and are just trying their luck in getting to the top. Just to the right from the entrance is a rocky platform, you'll find a Protein on it. Go northwest from that platform, jump down a ledge to reach an Escape Rope. Proceed north to the central rocky platform, you'll find an Ultra Ball up top. On the eastern side of that platform is a lone rock between ledges, on it is a hidden Dire Hit. Make your back to the top, then head to the northwest area of the room, there's a Max Elixer between the ledges. In the northeast area there's a hidden Ultra Ball at the end of the short path (see screenshot). After that proceed to the next room.

There's a rock on the left side from the entrance, search it for a hidden Max Potion. Get in the water, surf up and enter the chamber on the right to pick a Max Revive. On the northwest shore from that chamber entrance is a PP Up. Return to this room's entrance, go northeast from it to find an Ultra Ball. Climb up the stairs, reach the north side and surf to the northeast side. There you'll find a Calcium and an entrance to one of the Item Rooms.

And just like Red, Gold remains silent and is gone a moment later. He is among the special Trainers that can be battled again after you defeat the Elite 4 again. A sudden wind blows through and a voice from nowhere says the following: 

"When you've found youself with nothing left to conquer, come find me in THE FORGE..."

Okay, noted. Right now if you go there you'll just find SS and Pigy for the daily battle, and if you speak to Pigy you'll receive 25 Rare Candies! This is confirmation that we spoke to the Swinub of different colours that we've seen during the game (Ice Path, Route 24 Cave, Mt. Moon, Rock Tunnel and here in the Forge). Maybe that's what the message is for? We've defeated Gold, so let's return to his hometown and have a word with his Mom. She would've certainly whooped us when we were just starting out but now though things should go a little differently :)

She'll heal our team afterwards and sends us on our way, classic Mom move right there. While we're back in Johto, go back to the Goldenrod Underground. Remember Frank? That Burglar who was blocking access to the Warehouse? The guy is still there and is ready for another fight. Oh and he's got a little powerful friend in his team now xD, this guy. 

Burglar Frank 
- Lv22 yams the Bayleef [Grass] (holding Leftovers)

- Lv23 Sprinkles the *Shiny* Crobat [Poison/Flying] (holding Berry Juice)
- Lv100 Caterpie [Bug] (holding a Berry Juice)

He doesn't leave right away and judging by him asking about 3, I thought we have to defeat him again the next day. But when I came back here the next day he wasn't there and the Warehouse turns out to be a potential residence (P10000). 

There is one more Champion we can face...but in order to unlock that battle we must defeat the League again :S and you know they've stepped up their teams since our initial challenge. Whenever you're ready...

THE CHAMP
[Fighting]
Level: 100
Moves: Metronome, Cross Chop, Rock Slide, Fire Blast
Item Held: Focus Band

**BATTLE NOTES:
- The Champ cannot be tamed, so don't bother trying to throw them Balls, yo.

Clever surprise, with a Powerful Aura and everything. Too bad it can't be caught. That takes care of the major battles so now we're free to chase after some very special Pokemon. 

Return to Azalea Town and deliver the GS Ball to Kurt. He asks us to get more information about it from Oak while he checks out the GS Ball. Back in Pallet Town Oak tells us about how he met Kurt a long ago while on a trip to Ilex Forest. He has heard rumours about a Legendary Pokemon connected to the shrine there but nothing concrete has been documented. After that we go back to Kurt, he says the GS Ball started shaking while he was examining it and then he runs out of the house. We'll find him just outside, he notes that the forest has grown restless and suggests we go investigate. He gives the GS Ball back to us. 

In Ilex Forest it looks as if there's a strong wind blowing through, the animation effect is pretty cool. Near the shrine we'll find that girl we met when we find arrived here, she wonders if something has happened to the Guardian. Go up to the shrine and place the GS Ball in there, a moment later the Guardian appears and this is your chance now!

Kurt shows up, excited by what he has just witnessed. The rumours were true after all. Now he's motivated to build better Balls :) good for him. We'll return to his house and everything is back to normal. Head back to Pallet Town for an update from Oak, he received a call from Kurt and checks our PokeDex for confirmation. If you speak to Oak again he'll ask if you want to battle him (!) Wow, from facing a time travelling Pokemon to going one on one with THE Pokemon Professor, how cool is that?

Done and done with the Whirl Islands, we're going back to Ecruteak and the Tin Tower. 

In the barrier station we're stopped by a monk who says that a momentous event has occurred and after hearing the chiming of the Clear Bell he believes that we can make it through Tin Tower and lets us pass. In the exit area we must face the Wise Trio in back to back battles before we can get to the Tin Tower and meet Suicune one more time. Are you ready?

We'll see Suicune and Entei behind a fence surrounding the central pillar. Entei leaps out and runs out of the tower while Suicune confronts us and Eusine suddenly shows up to watch!

We're also joined by the Wise Trio, they tell us that Suicune's appearance means the return of the rainbow-winged Pokemon at the top of the tower. After they leave to check if Ho-oh is back, Eusine expresses his shock at us for catching Suicune. He was supposed to catch it. Now he won't forgive us and storms out. Uh-oh :/ maybe if he beats the Elite 4...oh well, proceed to the north side and speak to the monk in the middle. He sees that we've passed the trials of the Wise Trio and we have the Rainbow Wing so he allows us to begin the climb.

Then jump to the right and continue to the southeast platform, you'll find a PP Up and stairs leading to the southeast corner of 5F, leave the stairs alone. Jump over to the southwest platform, there's an Escape Rope another set of stairs to be ignored. Carry on to the northwest platform stairs.

There's a Rare Candy next to the central pillar, but if you go for it there is no way back except by reaching the southeast platform stairs and coming back from 4F (or unless you can walk through walls). Whatever you decide to do, the aim is to reach the stairs on the south platform.

Now things get interesting - warp tiles make their appearance on this floor. Get to the northeast platform, there's a Max Revive. On the north side is the first warp tile, use it to reach the tile next to the pillar. From there go to the 3rd tile on the left side of the pillar.

Head for the southwest platform to find 2 warp tiles. Both lead to 8F: the left tile takes us to 8F's south side and a Nugget, while the other tile takes us to the 8F pillar and a Max Elixer. Return to 7F and aim for the warp tile on the south side of the room.

The next warp tile is right below us, it takes us to 9F's north side where we find an HP Up. Southwest from there is the next warp tile, it sends us to 8F's eastern side. Go up and before stepping on the other warp tile, you'll find a Full Restore in the northwest corner. The tile takes us to 9F's pillar and the stairs to the rooftop.

Great success :) the Tin Tower event is done, use an Escape Rope and return to town. Check your PokeDex, Ho-Oh's entry isn't the only one in there now - some of Entei's information is there too! It is roaming the land and if my PokeDex matches yours then you should head out to Route 38 and enter that grass. I don't know if this helps but I had Suicune leading my party when I began searching for Entei, it appeared after two wild encounters.

All 3 Legendary Beasts have been captured, nice. Having Suicune in our collection begins the events that will lead us to another Legendary Pokemon. Get ready folks because now we're chasing after Pokemon #150 :) 

Return to Lavender Town and watch a scene unfold: Mr. Fuji is pushed out of the Volunteer House by the newly turned bad guy Eusine (!) He tells Fuji to get moving and the two of them leave town. After the scene, go into the house and speak to Fuji's helpers. Not only is Fuji gone but the Psyduck that is usually here has gone too. The boy says Fuji seemed okay with going with Eusine and they may have gone to Cinnabar Island. Head over there, enter Pokemon Mansion and reach the Basement. Another scene plays: Eusine reveals to Fuji that he found a journal, although it isn't one that Fuji wrote because that and the others are likely to be lost. Fuji follows Eusine to the north room which contains cloning machines that survived the volcano eruption, Fuji is surprised to see them and begs Eusine not to use them. But Eusine is still upset about the Suicune event and won't listen, he has his Electrode turn on the machines and gets to work. That journal he found had information about how to operate the machines, which are still configured properly. He just needs Fuji's sample of Mew DNA because it turns out that the Psyduck was actually Mew transformed! Mew appears to help Fuji but the machines don't just clone Pokemon, they can capture them too and a moment later Mew is caught. Eusine assures Fuji that the cloning process won't harm the original Pokemon, so Mew will return to him while Eusine gets his own Legendary Pokemon. When we can move, hurry over to that room. Fuji warns Eusine that the machines cannot create a perfect clone though, but Eusine doesn't stop and then the two men see us. Just as Eusine is addressing us, the machine concludes the cloning process and Mewtwo is created! This destroys the machine and Mew is sent flying. This isn't the Pokemon Eusine wants but he goes ahead to confront Mewtwo. It is at Lv70 and has a Powerful Aura. Eusine tries to throw the 1 Master Ball that he's got at it but Mewtwo blocks it! The battle ends soon after, Eusine is knocked aside and Mewtwo approaches us before taking off. Eusine sees the error of his ways and apologises to Fuji, who understands because he was in Eusine's position many years before. We find out about Fuji's connection to Pokemon Mansion and the work that he did here, which involved cloning Mew and creating the first Mewtwo. Afterwards Eusine apologises to us and leaves while Fuji has a word with us. If we need any help we can find Fuji in Lavender Town, for now what has happened here should not be known by anyone else. Once Fuji leaves, go to the northeast room, this is where Mew ended up. It recovers, sees us and leaves. Exit Pokemon Mansion. 

Return to Lavender and speak to Fuji. He's certain that this new Mewtwo has gone off in search of other powerful Pokemon, so we should check the one dungeon which we haven't explored yet. Prepare yourselves and go to Cerulean.

From there head out to Route 24 and surf south along the western stream, on the way down we'll see Reid.

Surf southwest, there's a Full Restore before you climb onto the middle platform. On it there's a Rare Candy, skip the ladder and carry on to the one next to a Nugget on the southwest platform. 

On 2F go east along the top path until you can turn south. From the south side turn left, take the first path going up to reach an Ultra Ball. Back to the left path and go with it all the way to the ladder in the northwest area. We return to 1F, on the northwest side, climb the next ladder.

On the platform northeast from this one is a Max Revive. Just before we get in the water and surf to the southeast platform where Mewtwo is, we're stopped by Eusine. After what happened at Pokemon Mansion he has changed into a better person who wants to treat his Pokemon properly. He has also accepted why Suicune didn't choose him. He leaves us with a Master Ball that he bought at the Mahogany Bazaar. Eusine doesn't believe he is strong enough to use it and he doesn't want to face Mewtwo so it's up to us now. Had this been another ROMhack, I imagine he came down here to battle us to check if we're ready to face Mewtwo haha I was thinking of that when he suddenly showed up.

Afterwards exit the cave and go back to Mr. Fuji for the update. He's glad we have sorted things out and that Eusine is a good guy now. Apparently he comes round to visit Fuji often. We'll find Eusine in that section of Route 24 Cave which requires Waterfall (where you'll see a roaming Lapras). Scroll up through the walkthrough for how to get there if you need a memory refresh. He's there meditating, even if you talk to him he won't be disturbed. In order to make Mew appear in the Mirage Sanctuary (reached via that cave entrance we found in the Togepi area of Mt. Mortar Peaks) players are supposed to speak to Eusine. But I'm guessing this has been changed in this update because if you check Mew's location via the PokeDex, it is shown to be roaming across Kanto. I didn't check if it starts roaming after we find Eusine or after we capture Mewtwo though, but after catching Mewtwo and speaking to Mr. Fuji please check your PokeDex for Mew. When you do encounter it:

All Legendary and Mythical Pokemon in this game have been caught, congratulations! You can go back to Mr Fuji for new dialogue, he is happy to know that Mew is with us now and he tells us about how he met Mew. 

So what's left? Solving the remaining Ruins of Alph puzzles :) 

We go back to the first puzzle chamber, the one with ESCAPE formed on the north wall. Use an Escape Rope to leave the chamber and then go back in. There's a sudden rumble as a secret room is unlocked from where the wall was. Go in and find some nice items: 

Berry
PSNCure Berry
EnergyPowder
Heal Powder

Drop through the big gap ahead and land in another room that has this message formed on the floor: 

OUR WORDS SHALL REMAIN HERE FOR THE AGES

Exit the chamber. The southeast puzzle chamber has LIGHT formed on the north wall. Use Flash to unlock the next room for these: 

Gold Berry
Moon Stone
Heal Powder
Energy Root

And this message in the room below: 

THUS WE SHALL ERECT A POKEMON STATUE OUTSIDE

Exit the chamber. Head to the puzzle chamber which is on the southwest side of the hill with the Unown Shrine. WATER is formed on the north wall, have a Water Stone in your Bag to unlock the next room for these: 

Mystery Berry
Mystic Water
Star Piece
Stardust

And this message in the room below: 

THEY POSSESS GREAT INSIGHT AND REFUSE THE OUTSIDE WORLD

Exit the chamber and go north from the hill, the final puzzle chamber is through the western entrance. It has HO-OH formed on the north wall. You must enter this chamber with Ho-Oh in the first position of your party to unlock the next room. In there you'll find: 

Gold Berry
Mystery Berry
Charcoal
Revival Herb

And this message in the room below: 

WE HUMANS MUST LEARN TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH THEM
WE DEPART FOR THEIR SAKES 

Now we will be going back to that room of stone pillars which is in Union Cave B3F. The solution to this next part of the Ruins of Alph mystery is credited to a post on the Crystal Clear subreddit, I don't know who put it up but my friend Marko sent me a screenshot of the post to help me out because I am currently offline. Once I'm back online I'll try to find the person and thank them, because I was going to leave the pillar room unsolved until I got back online to ask around on that subreddit.

Bring those 3 special Unown that we found in Alph Forest, Mew, the Luster Ball and the PokeFlute. Have one of the Unown following you into the room. Interact with the first pillar, the one on the left from the room entrance, and watch it collapse after reading the message. Stand in front of the next pillar, play the PokeFlute and that pillar crumbles. Interact with the other 3 pillars and they'll collapse because you have Mew in the party, we received those 25 Rare Candies from Pigy at the Forge for meeting the other colourful Swinub and we have the Luster Ball. The 6th pillar up top doesn't collapse still, no problem, leave the room and go to Ice Path B3F. We'll meet Shockslayer and Pigy here, Pigy is inspecting something under the ice. A moment later the ice cracks and Snowcap the Piloswine steps out! It pushes SS aside before facing us. Catch it!

SNOWCAP the Piloswine
[Ice/Ground] {Powerful Aura}
Level: 60
Hidden Power: Dark
Moves: AncientPower, Earthquake, Blizzard, Hidden Power
Item Held: Nevermeltice

SS says he hasn't seen this kind of Piloswine before and wonders how long it was under the ice for. We'll keep an eye on it. Leave Ice Path and go back to the pillar room. Interact with the 6th pillar and it shows us this message: 

ZUIRXD ZXNXAHT (BURIED BENEATH)
HTX RCX (THE ICE)
WOI YOU TX (FOR YOU HE)
FARHS WOI YOU (WAITS FOR YOU)

The pillar crumbles and the floor beneath us collapses too and down we go into the room of a 7th pillar. On the left are 10 Nuggets and on the right are 10 Sacred Ashs. The pillar won't offer us a message, instead it has a tile puzzle! That Piloswine puzzle from way back was a rough one but compared to what we get here, man :S it is a tile puzzle depicting Entei (see screenshot). DO NOT SOLVE IT. If you do, a Guardian appears to attack us - Lv100 Entei with a Powerful Aura that cannot be caught (you can throw a Ball at it to wake it up if Entei uses Rest, I didn't know about this!). This will keep happening after each time the puzzle is solved, but after the puzzle is solved the first time and after dealing with the Guardian, check the pillar and you'll see this message:

HIANSLAHX OUI (TRANSLATE OUR)
FOIDS OI ZXGONX (WORDS OR BEGONE)

Rude xD. Now this is where things get a little ridiculous, you might want to roll up them sleeves if you have any: in order to progress from here you have to encounter a wild Xatu and have the game show you this text: WILD XATU USED HAZE. Xatu only gets Haze as an Egg Move, so you must defeat enough Xatu until one appears which knows Haze. If it's night time for you now then search for Xatu in the Safari Zone, but if it is day time then head for Tin Tower 7F. I had a Fighting-type leading my party (since both Psychic and Flying beat it, so I figured that might help to raise the chances of Xatu appearing), plus a Pokemon that knows Sweet Scent and I was using the Dex Tracker. Bring a Ditto also, make it tranform during the battle so that you can view Xatu's Moveset. Once a wild Xatu uses Haze, the text will be replaced by Unown for a second then return to normal. You don't need to catch it. Afterwards go back to the Entei puzzle and notice that it has changed to a new puzzle now. An abstract puzzle indeed, it took me some time to work out :\ you'll definitely want to see the screenshot for it. The pillar will crumble afterwards and a new entrance has opened on the north side, go through it. 

We enter a bright and shiny room, just up ahead there's one more stone pillar and on the side is an Ancient Pickaxe. Pick it up and you'll find an inscription on its crossguard: 

"STRIKE WITH CARE
REWARDS MORE RARE"

Great substitute for TM Rock Smash :) not that Rock Smash is a terrible move or anything but given that TMs are still 3 generations away from being reusable in this universe, the Pickaxe is very much appreciated. On the stone pillar there's this message: 

OUI LXHHXIS (OUR LETTERS)

OUI MXSSAGX (OUR MESSAGE)

OUI GAMX (OUR GAME)

NOF PNOF (NOW KNOW)
OUI SXCIXHS (OUR SECRETS)

CIY OUH (CRY OUT)
OUI NAMX (OUR NAME) 

While standing next to the pillar, play Unown's cry from the PokeDex (Open the PokeDex, select the Info section, go to the Evolution page and press A twice). Unown's cry will be heard a second time and the pillar will split into 2 pedestals: the left one has 25 Gold Leafs and the right one has 25 Silver Leafs. Proceed to the center of the room and place the Unown Tablet on the altar. Suddenly an old man appears ahead of us, welcoming us to a sacred library. He and his companions got here from other dimension to share their knowledge of the universe. They lived in peace with the inhabitants of that time but life comes to an end eventually, so this library was built to honour the inhabitants and keep their records. He tasks us with maintaining this as a secret and as a reward he gives the Unown Tablet all the knowledge that is here plus the power to not only change the nickname of a Pokemon but colour and DVs. But you can only do this 6 times it seems, I'm not sure if there is a way to do it more than that. If you find out how, contact me so that I add the information to the walkthrough. We've solved all the remaining Ruins of Alph puzzles, leave the library and....well, enjoy the rest of the game if you still have things to do :) like going back to Prof. Elm and receiving another Togepi Egg, courtesy of Mr. Pokemon, if you want one. 

Until the next major update comes along, our adventure comes to an end here. I started the walkthrough with the 2.4.3 update, and only found out a few days ago that 2.4.4 was out! Thanks to my friend Marko for sending it to me so that I could update, continue and finish up. I'm not sure when I'll be online again but hopefully very soon. Here comes the final section of this fine document, get ready :)

v2.5.1 CONTENT 
FUCHSIA CITY

Go to the southeast section of the city and check the bush in the bottom right corner, you'll find a Gate Key (or see screenshot for the exact spot). It's a very old key which fits into a gate nearby. If you've looked around town at the Pokemon that are in enclosures you may have noticed that those enclosures have gates. This key is for the Onix enclosure, unlock the gate and go catch yourself an Onix if you need one. This particular Onix is Lv50, is holding a Metal Coat, it's Hidden Power type is Electric and it knows Strength, Rock Slide, Frustration and Slam.

VICTORY ROAD

We're going back to that nest spot on 2F. Make sure Moltres is in your party and following you, then examine the nest. Moltres will dig around and find a Mirror Ball. Interesting, it's not a Key Item or regular Item but an actual Poke Ball that can "copy Pokemon". Specifically it copies a Trainer Pokemon when you throw the Mirror Ball at one during battles, and after the battle you will receive a phone call from the Ace Trainer HQ to let you know that the Genetic Fabricator suddenly turned on and is about to create a clone of that Pokemon, so you should head over there to collect it. Thanks to Reddit user CC_Cedsi for sharing this information about the Mirror Ball. It is also useful for our return trip to the Whirl Islands. Also, if you've caught Lugia you'll need to release it and defeat the Elite 4 again so that Lugia goes back to its chamber. Once you've done all that, head for the Whirl Islands. Be sure to include in your party a Pokemon that knows a Ground-type move, a Pokemon that knows a Water-type move and a Pokemon that knows a Fire-type move.

WHIRL ISLANDS

Return to B1F of the northeast island and get to the western section of that area where we found the yellow orb pillar. Choose the Pokemon that knows a Ground-type move and have it follow you, then examine the orb again. This time you'll be asked if that Pokemon should use the move, say Yes and that move will knock out the orb. South from there is the ladder leading to B2F and the warm orb. Same strategy as before but using the Water-type move this time. Back to B1F, make your way to the southwest section and climb up the ladder to reach the entrance area of the southwest island. Surf to the ladder on the east side and climb back down to B1F's southeast section for the final orb, use a Fire-type move on the orb and then head for Lugia's chamber. This time we find Shadow Lugia a.k.a XD001 :) you can use the Mirror Ball to catch it or use other Poke Balls if you've decided to keep the Mirror Ball for another special Pokemon.

[xd001] SHADOW LUGIA
[Psychic/Flying]
LeveL: 50
Hidden Power: Psychic
Moves: Aeroblast, Fly, Recover, Hydro Pump

According to the 2.5.0 Changelog, Shadow Lugia enters every battle with Rain as its weather effect and this can last for 250 turns. It can still be changed by other weather effects though. 

TOHJO FALLS

**HMs/TMs Required: Surf, Waterfall, Rock Smash.

-1F- (JOHTO SIDE)

Hopefully you've been stocking up those Star Pieces and Big Pearls, make sure either of them are with you. In the southwest corner is an old field journal someone may have lost, if you try to read it this is what you see:

"...ndles...s fi...ld
wi...h thre... ...rees
Loc...ed be...ind
a str...ng... port...l 
Offe... thr...e
ST...R ...IECE ...or
...IG PE...RL
Ch...nge th...
outc...me"

Hmm, not cryptic at all. Something about a field locked (or located?) behind a strange (or strong?) portal. Yup, not cryptic at all haha. Scale up the waterfall, continue north to scale a second waterfall and surf through a tunnel...

 Starmie [Water/Psychic]

Wow, look at what we find here. Just below you can see a Starmie chilling and minding its own business on what looks to be the top of an icy platform. Surf to the south side, smash the rock, you can pick up the Sun Stone on the right and then a hidden Booster Ball on the left side (see screenshot). Afterwards you can try to catch that Lv50 Starmie, if you are unsuccessful you'll have to beat the Elite 4 again to reset this event. Starmie is holding a King's Rock, knows Surf, Waterfall, Icy Wind and Sleep Talk. Hidden Power type is Ghost.

Leave the platform and head east, there's a hidden Sacred Ash (see screenshot) on the large piece of ice that you see as soon as you land. That item ball below from there is 7 Stardusts. Climb up the stairs onto the platform on the right to pick up a hidden Moon Ball (see screenshot) and 2 Star Pieces. We got 2 paths: the north opening and a hole in the floor in the southeast corner. Both paths lead out to Route 27 but the hole sends us to the Kanto side exit of Tohjo Falls, so go through that north opening. We'll appear on the mountain above the Tohjo Falls entrances, head north to reach the next new area - Lake Tohjo.

**HMs/TMs Required: Surf, Rock Smash, Cut, Whirlpool, Headbutt.

Once you're on the north side go over to the far right cliff (see screenshot for the exact spot) and press A to see the Daily Swarm Pokemon. Since this is our very first visit you'll see Stantler, but from now onwards the Pokemon will reset each day. Nice. Head over to the left side to descend the mountain, you'll find the signboard for this place which says that the waters of Lake Tohjo have a healing effect. Specifically, your party will be healed after each encounter while surfing. Nice x2. Surf up from the signboard until you see a whirlpool, clear it and continue up to a small island. There's a hidden Star Piece on the top left tree and a hidden Big Pearl on the top right right tree (or see screenshots). Surf to the northwest section of the lake to pick up 8 Level Balls. Then surf to the eastern side, there is a small island surrounded by whirlpools. There are 2 hidden Big Pearls on the island, one on the far left tree and one on the far right tree (or see screenshots). Head northwest from the island, clear away a whirlpool and when you get to the top side of the maze you'll see one whirlpool on the right and another on the left. Clear the first whirlpool and follow the path south, turn left and go on to clear two more whirlpools, continue south to clear a third one and then arrive at the island at the center of the lake. There's a shrine on it with markings written in Unown letters: 

LEAD ONE OF MANY
TO OUR SANCTUARY

ONE MASTER OF 
RESURRECTION

ONE MASTER OF
THE STORMS

THE CHILDREN OF 
THE ANCESTOR

THE ONE WHO OPENS
THE PORTAL CHOOSES
THE FUTURE CHOICE

Simple enough, right? Because by solving these riddles you will open a portal that takes you to a new area known as the Origin Plains. There are 4 methods of opening the portal and each time you open it you will be given 3 choices - offer 3 Big Pearls, offer 3 Star Pieces or offer nothing. Offering 3 Big Pearls will earn you a prize Pokemon which has maxed IVs, if you offer 3 Star Pieces the Pokemon will be Shiny and offering nothing just gets you the regular Pokemon. Here are the 4 methods:

01 HO-OH (Master of Resurrection)
- Put Ho-Oh in the 1st position of your party, interact with the Shrine and the portal opens. Make your choice and then a bigger portal appears below the shrine. Go through it.

[origin] ORIGIN PLAINS
You'll appear in a grassy area which looks as if it is in bright sunlight. Below you is a tree (your way back to Lake Tohjo) and 2 signboards. The signboard on the right grants access to the PC menus, make sure your party has a free slot and have Ho-Oh following you. Then head south until you find 3 other trees surrounded by flowers. Interact with any of the trees to hear a voice from a being known as the Original One, it says that this place is for its children to find refuge and that you must bring the one who opened the portal to this place. The tree on the left represents Raikou, the middle tree represents Entei and the one on the right represents Suicune. Interact with the tree of your choice and Ho-Oh will bring down an Egg of that Pokemon: 

RAIKOU 
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Bite, Leer, Flash

ENTEI
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Bite, Leer, Strength

SUICUNE
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Bite, Leer, Surf

Afterwards when you speak to the tree again you will be told to leave. Exit the Origin Plains. In order to reset that place you have to defeat the Elite 4 again. When you are back at Lake Tohjo you'll meet an Ace Trainer who offers you a free trip back to the mainland on his Mantine. Once you're back there the Ace Trainer tells you about a shortcut to Route 27 - a hidden ledge just to the left of the Johto side entrance to Tohjo Falls. Walk down towards the route signboard and next thing you know, you've hopped off the edge. 

02 LUGIA (Master of the Storms)
- Follow the same instructions but with Lugia this time. The Origin Plains will be a different colour, an ominous grey as if it is night time. The left tree represents Articuno, the middle tree is for Zapdos and the right tree is for Moltres:

ARTICUNO
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Gust, Powder Snow, Fly 

ZAPDOS
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Peck, Thundershock, Fly

MOLTRES
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Wing Attack, Ember, Fly

03 DITTO (One of the Children of the Ancestor)
- This gives us Origin Plains in a lavender colour, with Mew represented by the left tree, Unown V represented by the middle tree and Mewtwo represented by the right tree:

MEW
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Pound, Metronome

UNOWN 
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Hidden Power, Tri Attack

MEWTWO
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Confusion, Disable, Strength

04 SWINUB (One of the Children of the Ancestor)
- The Origin Plains are a lush green colour this time, Ho-Oh from the left tree, Celebi from the middle tree and Lugia from the right tree:

HO-OH
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Sacred Fire, Fly

CELEBI
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Leech Seed, Confusion, Recover, Heal Bell

LUGIA
120 Happiness
Hidden Power: Dark (Dragon if it is Shiny)
Moves: Aeroblast, Waterfall

Many thanks to Reddit users Hope-Was-Here, TopShaggaTre and FEF-FAN for helping out to solve the shrine riddles :) that part about the Children of the Ancestors stumped me. 

That covers all the major events for the 2.5.1 update, now let's finish up this walkthrough!


[xzx] FINAL SECTION & OTHER RAMBLINGS
That was Pokemon Crystal Clear folks, what did you think of it? Good? Bad? Somewhere in the middle? I had a great time with this game, it came off like an enhanced version of Crystal which takes place in an alternate universe that is set one year after original Crystal. Plenty of familiar places and faces are there but so are some new places and faces for players to discover too, so that kept me motivated to continue playing and find out what's out there. 

++POSITIVES++
- A fresh and fun new look at Crystal with the open world feature.
- Detailed and helpful PokeDex. 
- Handy Key Items such as the Sword, Pickaxe, Dex Tracker and Laptop. 
- Going back to a generation when there were no Abilities to worry about haha.

NEGATIVES
- Limitations of older generations (limited Bag space, one-time use TMs etc)
- No major story for the main game and post-game except for the Mewtwo/Eusine mini chapter. A solid story would have been a big cherry on top for this impressive game, to compliment all those great features. 

If you have any feedback regarding the game please send it to Shockslayer and his team. They did a great job here and hopefully they still have enough creative power to bring more content.
