Appendix:Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Walkthrough/Part 3

## Virbank City

Upon your arrival in Virbank City, your Xtransceiver will ring. It's your mom checking in on you. She tells you that if you go to Virbank Complex at night, you can enjoy a nice view. Be sure to visit later on.

Start heading toward the Pokémon Center and you'll run into Roxie, the Virbank Gym Leader, who is arguing with her father, Pop Roxie, who happens to be the local ship's captain. He has decided to go to Pokéstar Studios to become an actor. Brushing off his daughter's desperate attempts to stop him, Pop Roxie sets off for Pokéstar Studios. Without the captain at the helm, you can't go to Castelia City. There's a few things you need to do first.

Since it's nearby, check out the Pokémon Center and heal up if needed. The Poké Mart generally has the same items as before, but the bottom clerk sells a few extra things.

* Upper cashier
* Lower cashier

Northeast of the Pokémon Center is the entrance to Pokéstar Studios; however, it's being blocked off until you visit Virbank Complex and defeat Roxie at the Gym.

The house just east of here has a Poké Toy you can pick up. If you go southeast down the stairs behind the Gym, follow the path to the end to find a hidden Pearl. If you talk to the man in front of the Gym, he'll recommend catching a Magnemite at the Virbank Complex to use in the Gym and will give you five Poké Balls. Magnemite's Steel-type is immune to the Gym's Poison-types.

Go all the way west past the Gym and check the trash can for a hidden Antidote. Inside the building nearby, talk to the woman who will give you a Burn Heal.

Now head south into the Virbank Complex.

## Virbank Complex

### Entrance

Starting in the entrance area, in the western patch of grass is an X Accuracy. Go east and down the stairs to find a man who will trade you a Great Ball in exchange for one of your regular Poké Balls. You can trade with him once a day. Keep going counterclockwise on the road here and up the stairs on the west side. Go south then east to find a Silk Scarf, which will raise the power of Normal-type moves when held by a Pokémon.

### Interior

Once inside the interior of the complex, you'll see a man standing there. When you talk to him, he'll ask you to motivate three of his new Workers. First, go south to battle a Youngster.

Southeast then north of him is some tall grass you can enter to catch stronger Pokémon if you'd like. There is a knowledgeable assistant there in front of a tower. Talk to him and he'll move to the front of the smokestack on the west side. Chase after him and talk to him again, then he'll move to a clearing on the south side. Talk to him once again. After you've listened to him talk three times, he'll give you an Ether.

If you go back to the tall grass where the assistant was and to the empty patch to the northwest, you can find a hidden TinyMushroom.

Talk to the blonde woman there on the south pier and she'll ask you to complete the Habitat List for the Virbank Complex. Once you meet all the Pokémon here, go back and talk to her and she'll give you five Great Balls as a reward. The other girl here will battle you.

Go north and up the stairs up to the path. Cross the raised walkway. The three Workers you need to find wait on the east end, north end, and west end of the raised walkways. If you take a step in the wrong direction on the raised walkway's pipes, you'll fall. You'll also fall if you stand on the pipes for too long. Keep walking carefully on the pipes and you'll make it to the end. Go to the east to battle the first Worker.

Go down the stairs south of him to pick up TM46 (Thief). Go up the stairs to the raised walkways on the west and cross the pipes going north to find another Worker.

Cross the pipes west and north. Before hopping down the pipes, battle the Youngster to the northwest.

Jump down the pipes south of him to battle the last Worker.

Now that you've defeated all three Workers, head back to the foreman. To show his gratitude for getting his Workers fired up, he'll give you TM94 (Rock Smash). Once you've done everything here, head back to Virbank City and enter the Gym.

## Virbank City

### Virbank Gym

Remember to stock up on Antidotes before coming here if you're not using Magnemite. Defeat both Trainers and you can battle Roxie. After defeating her, Roxie will give you the  Toxic Badge! With this Badge, Pokémon up to Lv. 30 will obey you. You'll also receive TM09 (Venoshock). If the opposing Pokémon is poisoned, this move will deal double damage to it.

After defeating Roxie, you'll be approached by a man at the entrance to the Gym. It turns out that he's a scout from Pokéstar Studios. Roxie overhears your conversation and, apparently thinking of her father, suddenly dashes out of the Gym.

In order to get to Castelia City, you first need the captain of the ship to come back from Pokéstar Studios. Go through the gate north of town and head to Pokéstar Studios to bring him back.

## Pokéstar Studios

Go through the gate and the scout who talked to you at Virbank City will talk to you with the boss of Pokéstar Studios, "Stu Deeoh." Let the scout guide you through Pokéstar Studios and its theater.

You'll find Pop Roxie at the theater. As you watch the movie he starred in, you'll notice that the movie isn't too good and the audience isn't impressed. Disappointed, Pop Roxie returns to Virbank City.

The scout invites you into the studio, where you'll costar with a famous actor, Brycen. Follow the movie scenario to complete making the movie. Do a good job, and you'll be able to take on new scenarios.

Brycen used to be the Icirrus Gym Leader two years ago, and Sabrina is a Gym Leader from the Kanto region. Now they're famous actors. In some scenarios, you'll be costaring with them.

## Virbank City

Once Pop Roxie returns to Virbank City, head back there as well. Head over to the docks and you'll see some members of Team Plasma standing in front of Roxie and Hugh. It's time to challenge Team Plasma. Before taking them on, take the time to save and switch your party around, then talk to the Grunt again and say "Yes" to battle him.

After suffering a sound defeat, the Team Plasma members run away. Before dashing off in pursuit, Roxie will give you HM01 (Cut)! It's her thanks for your help in chasing Team Plasma.

You can use the move Cut outside of battle to cut down small trees that sometimes block your path. However, HM moves cannot be forgotten unless you speak to the Move Deleter, who you won't encounter for a while, so use it on a Pokémon you don't plan on using on your team, such as Patrat.

Roxie will ask you and Hugh to search Route 20. Hugh will run off ahead, so you'll want to chase after him. First of all, head back to the interior section of the Virbank Complex.

## Virbank Complex

Go to the west side and then south. Cut the tree down and you can pick up a Super Potion. Head back up to Virbank City and go west back to Route 20.

## Route 20

Head west to chase after the Team Plasma Grunt. Climb the stairs in the center of the route and you'll run into Hugh again. Head south of him to find the Grunt. Confront her to start a battle.

Defeat her and she'll run off, and then Hugh will appear. He has news that Team Plasma is traveling in some kind of ship. In order to get to Castelia City, which has a large port, first go back to Virbank City.

## Virbank City

Pop Roxie has returned to the Virbank City docks after the movie he starred in flopped. He is feeling down, but Roxie cheers him up. He decides to return to his job as a ship captain.

Enter the building at the docks and you'll find Hugh waiting at the counter inside. Talk to him and he'll ask if you want to go to Castelia City. In order to continue tracking Team Plasma, board the ship together and set off for Castelia City!
