Appendix:Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Walkthrough/Part 23

## Victory Road

From the Pokémon League, go south. Go through the small cavern and out the eastern exit. Go south and down the stairs. Keep going south down more stairs and you'll see the Zoroark that was previously blocking your way. Walk over to it and it will run away into the next cave. Go down the stairs inside the cave going southwest. Outside, you'll find Zoroark again. It will go into the cave entrance it was previously blocking. Go inside and it will run down the long staircase to the northeast. Follow it down and you'll arrive inside N's Castle.

## N's Castle

When you go inside, you'll find N waiting for you. He says he wants to battle you in the deepest part of the castle, but instead of leading you there himself, he says he prefers to follow you. Once you accept his request to guide him through the castle, he follows you wherever you go.

Go inside the room just to the north of him. This is N's room. He will tell you the sad tale of his childhood before leaving the room in silence, waiting for you in the hall outside. On the east side is a Luxury Ball. Outside his room, go southwest to find a Protein. Go all the way to the southeast corner to pick up TM50 (Overheat). Head north and up the stairs.

As you head north into the deepest part of the castle, N stops you. After some reflection on the past, N will summon his partner, Zekrom**B2**/Reshiram**W2**. He will challenge you to a battle. If you refuse N's request, he will wait until you are ready to begin.

* White 2

After the battle, N accepts defeat. He thanks Zekrom**B2**/Reshiram**W2** for being part of his journey. After N says his farewells, the Legendary Pokémon is transformed into the Dark Stone**B2**/Light Stone**W2**. N says he will entrust the Dark Stone**B2**/Light Stone**W2** to you, and tells you to take it to Dragonspiral Tower.

In order to get to Dragonspiral Tower, you first need to go back to Opelucid City.

## Opelucid City

While you're here, go to Drayden's house and he will offer to teach one of your Dragon-type Pokémon Draco Meteor, if it has a strong bond with you. Go all the way west past Route 9, and then further west to get to the Tubeline Bridge.

## Tubeline Bridge

As you proceed south on the bridge, you will find a Battle Girl running around. Talk to her to receive TM43 (Flame Charge). That's really the only thing of interest here, so go south into the gate. Inside the southern gate, talk to the Scientist on the north side, and he'll give you an EnergyPowder. Proceed west to Route 8.

## Route 8

Route 8 and the Moor of Icirrus to the northeast are covered in marshes and water. Constant rain means the route is always mucky. Walk through the wetlands and you'll encounter wild Pokémon. However, during winter, the wetlands will be frozen over and Pokémon will not appear.

A Parasol Lady on the eastern side of the route will give you an item once per day. You can receive a different rock from her depending on the time of day. In the morning, she will give you a Damp Rock; in the afternoon, she will give you a Heat Rock; in the evening, she will give you a Smooth Rock; and at night, she will give you a Icy Rock.

Surf to the south side of the pool of water to pick up a Big Pearl. Surf northeast to battle a Parasol Lady in a Rotation Battle.

After obtaining the Super Rod, talk to the Fisherman here. He'll tell you he's a member of a fishing team called the Hip Waders, and if you want to learn more about them, you'll have to come visit him in his home on Village Bridge. Then he leaves. Talk to him at Village Bridge, in the third house from the right. Every day, he'll declare a certain Pokémon as the "Official Hip Waders Catch of the Day." Catch that Pokémon and show it to him, and he'll give you five Dive Balls.

Go northwest, then east to battle a Lass.

Go north to battle a Fisherman.

Northeast of him, use the Dowsing MCHN by the trees to find a hidden Max Repel. Near that is another Parasol Lady, who fights you in a Triple Battle.

Near her is the entrance to the Moor of Icirrus. There's a bit more to do on Route 8 first. For now, go across the pond (frozen during winter) northwest of the Fisherman. There is a Nest Ball here. Go southwest of it to battle a Youngster.

Northwest of him is TM36 (Sludge Bomb). Go south of him with the Dowsing MCHN to pick up a hidden Rare Candy. Southeast of that is the entrance to Icirrus City. Head back to the northeast to the Moor of Icirrus first.

## Moor of Icirrus

Like Route 8, the Moor of Icirrus will freeze over during winter months, making navigation a bit more difficult.

Just west of the entrance is a hidden TinyMushroom. There is an elderly man here from whom you can learn about Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion. He tells you a story about how these three Pokémon teamed up to take care of a young Pokémon after it was separated from its parents during a forest fire.

West of him, push the boulder into the hole with Strength. Right next to it is a Pokémon Ranger.

She'll give you a Lum Berry for defeating her. Go across the pond to the south to collect TM84 (Poison Jab). Go north of the old man and use the Dowsing MCHN on the west side by the trees to find a hidden Big Mushroom. Go east to battle a Fisherman.

East of him by the trees is a Green Shard (which requires Surf in the winter). Go around to the northeast section to pick up a Heart Scale. Go south and hop the ledge. You'll be back near the beginning of the area. Go east with the Dowsing MCHN near the pond is a hidden Dawn Stone. Go south of that to battle another Pokémon Ranger.

He'll also give you a Lum Berry after defeating him. East of him is a Full Heal. In the months where it's not winter, go between the group of trees to the north to pick up a Rare Candy. Go northeast to battle another Fisherman.

That's all there is to do here, so go south of Route 8 into Icirrus City.

## Icirrus City

Go up the stairs near the Route 8 entrance and go west across the bridge to reach the Pokémon Center. Heal up and check out the Poké Mart.

* Upper cashier
* Lower cashier

The Gentleman here will buy items from you, such as the various Gems, Shards, and Evolution stones.

The Battle Girl here will give you a Black Belt, which will raise the power of Fighting-type moves. The girl outside the Pokémon Center will tell you about the Legendary Dragon-type Pokémon Zekrom**B2**/Reshiram**W2**.

West of the Pokémon Center is a hole in the ground. In the winter, it's filled with snow, allowing you to cross it to the west to collect a Max Elixir. Also in the winter, you can walk east of where the windmill is and there is a house that is otherwise inaccessible in other seasons. Inside is the sound designer. Speak to him and he'll perform the music from Route 10 from Pokémon Black and White. The other two people inside the house are former members of Team Magma and Team Aqua, the villains of the Hoenn region.

Go to the house on the north side of the city. Inside, you'll meet three people: Wye (the mother), Aha (the father), and Ditoh (the daughter). Wye will pull you inside immediately to take a pop quiz, called "Pep Quiz." If you answer the question they give correctly, you'll get an Antidote. If you get it wrong, you'll get a Parlyz Heal. This quiz can be taken once per day.

West of this house is the former Icirrus Gym. Although the Gym is no longer in use in Pokémon Black and White, it can still be entered and traversed, with the Gym puzzle still active. Brycen does appear at the end of the icy paths, where he will briefly talk to you before leaving. Talking to Brycen here is one of the requirements for unlocking the fourth and final Brycen-Man movie at Pokéstar Studios.

The house south of the former Gym is the Pokémon Fan Club. Here, if you show the Fan Club Chairman a Pokémon you've raised well, you'll receive an item. Showing a Pokémon that has gained 25-49 levels gets you an Exp. Share, while 50-98 levels gets you a Cleanse Tag. And finally, Pokémon raised 99 levels will get you a King's Rock. If you speak to the woman inside the Pokémon Fan Club, she can tell you how friendly your Pokémon feel toward you.

To the southwest is the entrance to Twist Mountain, should you wish to return there quicker in the future.

Go east of the Pokémon Center across the two bridges. At the end, the Shadow Triad will accost you. The Triad challenges you to a series of battles: Single Battle, Triple Battle, and Rotation Battle.

Immediately after each one is defeated, they will disappear without a word. Yet this is not the last that you might see of them. You can return to Icirrus City once each season to challenge them to a rematch. The item they were guarding is a PP Up.

If it's winter, climb the snow pile north of the former Gym and go to the north. You'll be at the exterior of Dragonspiral Tower. At the north side of the cliff past the dark grass is a NeverMeltIce, which raises the power of Ice-type moves when held.

Go back down the snow pile, then go north to enter Dragonspiral Tower.

## Dragonspiral Tower

Dragonspiral Tower is said to be the oldest tower in the Unova region. It is believed to have a deep connection with the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom and Reshiram.

As you enter, Cedric Juniper will be there. After explaining about the connection the Legendary Dragon-type Pokémon have to the Dragonspiral Tower, he will give you an Old Gateau.

Before heading inside the tower, Surf to the east side of the exterior. Go north of the dark grass and you'll find a Carbos. Go inside and go northeast to the second floor. Here, go north on the west side of the broken pillars and use Strength to move the boulder west into the hole. This is a shortcut. Go north of the hole under the pillars and check the rock to find a hidden Red Shard. Southeast of that, under the pillar is an Elixir. Go up the broken pillar and go across it to the west. On the pillar south of the stairs is an Ultra Ball. Go west into the next floor.

Go up the staircase and across the jump. Take the middle three jumps west to pick up a Shiny Stone. Jump across to the northeast to pick up a Protein. Go back to the beginning of the floor and take the bottom jumps to the west side and go up the stairs, then head to the next floor.

Go all the way around just before the stairs to the northeast and you can pick up the Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb, and Griseous Orb. These are special items that power up the moves of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, respectfully. Head to the next floor.

Here, go east and across the bridge. Then go east again and then take the bridge south, then go west to pick up a PP Max. Go north across one bridge, then go west. Across the next bridge is TM02 (Dragon Claw). Hop the ledge and continue east. Go to the middle ring near the center pillar. Go south across the next two bridges, then go east to pick up a Max Revive. Go west, across the bridge to the south, then continue west and up the stairs to the next floor.

Go north and pick up the Comet Shard, then go up the stairs to the top floor. Once you head north, the tower will shake, and the Dark Stone**B2**/Light Stone**W2** will tremble inside the Bag. Take it out of your Bag, and it will absorb the surrounding aura, turning into an intense power and causing Zekrom**B2**/Reshiram**W2** to appear! Before battling it, go northeast of it to collect a hidden Comet Shard.

If you accidentally knock it out, you'll have to battle the Elite Four and the Champion again for it to reappear, so be sure to save before talking to it to save you time.

After you capture Zekrom**B2**/Reshiram**W2**, N will appear and talk to you. He tells you Kyurem has returned to the Giant Chasm. After telling you this, he leaves. You can actually use Fly from where you're at, so Fly to Lacunosa Town and go northeast through Route 13, back to the Giant Chasm.

## Giant Chasm

Head all the way back into the room where you confronted Ghetsis before and Kyurem will be back, ready to battle you again.

After you catch Kyurem, Cheren and Bianca show up. Bianca asks you to show your Pokédex to Professor Juniper in Nuvema Town. After they leave, pick up the item that Kyurem left behind. It's the DNA Splicers! Now, with both Kyurem and Zekrom**B2**/Reshiram**W2** in your party, you can use the DNA Splicers. Choose Kyurem, then the other dragon, and they will fuse together via a process called Absofusion, into Black Kyurem**B2**/White Kyurem**W2**!

* Black 2
* White 2

Zekrom**B2**/Reshiram**W2** will be unavailable until you de-fuse it from Kyurem.

## N's Castle

Once you catch Zekrom**B2**/Reshiram**W2** in Dragonspiral Tower and Kyurem in the Giant Chasm, meet N back at the Nimbasa City Ferris Wheel on a Friday. He will return to his castle for a once-per-month rematch with a team that changes every season.

* Autumn
* Winter

Use Fly to travel to Castelia City and then head east from the Pokémon Center. Go inside the gate at the end and head south to reach the Skyarrow Bridge.
