Appendix:Pokémon Black and White Walkthrough/Part 5

## Route 4

Since there is always a sandstorm on Route 4, the route being built in the desert still isn't complete. There are two exits to the north: the eastern exit goes to Nimbasa City, and the western exit goes to the Desert Resort.

Straight ahead, west of the road, is an X Accuracy in the deep sand. Just above that on the left side of the fence is a house where, if you talk to the woman inside, she will heal your Pokémon. This is useful because the sandstorm that rages on this route is always present, so any non-Ground, Rock, or Steel-type Pokémon will take damage from it every turn.

Just north of the Castelia City gate you will find Cheren waiting for you. He will talk to you when you approach him and challenge you to a battle.

* If you chose Snivy
* If you chose Tepig
* If you chose Oshawott

Immediately after you defeat him, the Xtransceiver will ring. It's Professor Juniper. Bianca doesn't pick up, so there's no image for her. Juniper says she will be waiting at the gate to Nimbasa City to the north of Route 4. After the call, Cheren will head there.

Head west of the house you can heal at and take the stairs down. You can battle two Fisherman down here by the water.

Below him, use your Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Pearl. Head back up and go north. In the east corner is a hidden Ultra Ball you can also find with the Dowsing Machine. Head west and you can battle a Parasol Lady.

In the fence northeast of her is a Hyper Potion. North of her is a Worker.

Head down the stairs and through the sand a bit, then up the stairs behind the girders. You can use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Burn Heal near the cones. Also use it near the ledge by the stairs to find a hidden Ether. Go down the stairs to battle another Worker.

Up the stairs above him is TM41 (Torment). This makes it so your opponent can't use the same move consecutively.

Go back to the main path and head north to battle a Backpacker.

Just southeast of him is another Burn Heal. Keep going north and you can battle a female Backpacker.

To the west of her is an Ether. Above her is another Backpacker.

Above her is a Super Potion and another Backpacker.

North of him, use your Dowsing Machine to find a Hyper Potion. Go west to battle a Worker.

Just west is another Worker.

West of him is a vending machine.

In the nearby house is a man who will give you TM28 (Dig). Head back all the way east and then go north. You can battle another Backpacker.

Just north of him is the gate to Nimbasa City, but first, head back west and go north to reach the Desert Resort.

## Desert Resort

Head to the northwest and go through the gate. The Doctor will battle you if you speak to him.

He will heal your Pokémon right after you defeat him. Go north to battle another Backpacker.

A female Backpacker is just above him.

Near her in the crater are some BlackGlasses. These will raise the power of Dark-type moves when held. In the crater above him is a man in a suit who will give you some Soft Sand, which will raise the power of Ground-type moves. Go west a bit to find another Backpacker.

Go northwest of him a bit to find some Stardust in a crater. Go south as far as you can and then east a bit to battle a Psychic.

Below him with the Dowsing Machine, you can find a hidden Rare Candy. Go northwest a bit to find a Fire Stone. Go back up to the previous Backpacker. Northwest of him is a Psychic.

North of her is some Fresh Water. Go west of her to battle another Psychic.

Northeast of him is a Super Potion. Then go east to battle another Backpacker.

Just east of her are some statues of a certain Pokémon. Ignore it for a bit and go north of her with the Dowsing Machine to find an Ether. Near this is the entrance to the Relic Castle. But again, ignore it for just a bit more. Go northwest of the tower to find a Heart Scale. Follow the Dowsing Machine to the south to find some Stardust. Nearby is a Pokémon Ranger.

She will give you a Rawst Berry for defeating her. Go counterclockwise around her to battle another Pokémon Ranger.

He will also give you a Rawst Berry. Go south and against the wall until you find TM39 (Rock Tomb). Go all the way to the northeast part of the desert with the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Hyper Potion. Then go back to the statues and enter the Relic Castle.

## Relic Castle

Inside next to the quicksand is a Psychic.

On the other side of the quicksand is another Psychic.

Fall through the center pile of quicksand and pick up the Revive. Go back up the stairs and go to the right pile. walk slowly around it and talk to the girl nearby. She will give you one of two fossils: the Cover Fossil or the Plume Fossil. You can go back to Nacrene City and restore them into either, respecively, Tirtouga or Archen. The man nearby won't let you pass for now, so it'll be a while until you can fully explore this place.

Go back to the gate on Route 4 that leads to Nimbasa City. Professor Juniper and Cheren will be there. After you arrive, Juniper will give you and Cheren ten Ultra Balls. Then she leaves to the south to find Bianca. Cheren will go back to Route 4 to catch more Pokémon. Head north to Nimbasa City.
