Appendix:Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Walkthrough/Part 9

## Route 6

Route 6 is a road surrounded by rich nature with green trees. At the Season Research Lab, research is being conducted on Deerling, which changes its form depending on the season. The north side leads into Chargestone Cave, while the east side leads into Mistralton Cave.

It is wise to leave a free spot in your party so you can pick up a gift Pokémon later on as you explore the route.

Go west and then north to battle a Pokémon Breeder.

North of her is a Hidden Grotto if you want to check it out. Go east of her across the bridge to find a Parasol Lady.

North of her is a School Kid.

Just east of her is an Elixir, and north of her is not actually an item, but a Foongus in disguise. You'll encounter three of these fake items on this route. Follow the path west and you'll meet Cheren, who leads you into the Season Research Lab. He tells you that the data shows a sudden drop in temperature near Lacunosa Town, Castelia City, and Driftveil City. He will also give you HM03 (Surf)! This lets you travel over the surface of water. You can use this in many places you've already visited, which will be covered in the section below.

Inside the Lab, talk to the Scientist near the window (with an empty spot in your party) and he will give you a special Deerling with its Hidden Ability, Serene Grace.

♀**Deerling**Lv. 30No itemSerene Grace

Just outside are two Scientists who will battle you.

In the grass below her, check the bare patch for a hidden TinyMushroom. North of them, on the west side of the Lab is a Moon Stone. Go west to battle another School Kid.

Right by him is another Foongus. West of him is an Ultra Ball and another Parasol Lady.

Just south of her is another Foongus. Head north across the bridge and you'll see the Legendary Pokémon Cobalion along the way. It quickly disappears though. Rood shows up along with another elderly man right after that and tells you Cobalion will be a great asset if you can befriend it. Talk to the woman in the house east of where you met Cobalion and she'll heal your Pokémon any time you visit. The little girl inside the house will give you a Shiny Stone.

Go north of the house into the dark grass. On the east side near the water is a Pokémon Ranger.

For defeating him, he'll give you a Pecha Berry. Surf across the water south of him to pick up TM56 (Fling). In the grass west of the house near the entrance to Chargestone Cave is a hidden Protein.

Go back to the beginning of the route west of Driftveil City and Surf north of the first bridge. On the west side by the trees you can pick up a Heart Scale. Go up to where the School Kid is and Surf north of her and on the eastern patch of grass is a hidden Big Mushroom in the bottom right corner, and a PP Up just north of that.

## Surfing Secrets

There are several other places you can backtrack to now that you have Surf.

### Aspertia City

Directly east of your house is a pond. Surf east to find TM53 (Energy Ball).

### Route 19

Go north to Route 19. In the pond just past the gate, Surf northwest to find a Water Stone. Surf east and go up the stairs. Go south with the Dowsing MCHN on to find a hidden Expert Belt. Go northwest across the path above the stairs to find a Nest Ball.

### Route 20

Fly to Virbank City and go west back to Route 20. On the southeastern side of the route, cross the river to pick up a hidden Heart Scale. Surf south and go west. There are two items here only obtainable in the autumn: a Max Revive and a Rare Candy. Also only in autumn are three Pokémon Rangers.

He will give you a Sitrus Berry for defeating him.

Both of them each will give you a Leppa Berry for defeating them. Later in the game, you can come back and go west on the river and climb the waterfall.

### Floccesy Ranch

Go north to Floccesy Ranch and go back to where the Herdier was last time you were here. Cross the river to the west and there is a Hidden Grotto here.

### Virbank City

Fly back to Virbank City and you'll have to visit the exterior part of Virbank Complex briefly and go east and down the stairs to reach the water. Go north until you reach some more stairs west of the Pokémon Center. Up there is a Rare Candy.

### Castelia Sewers

If it's spring or summer, while the sewers are flooded, fly to Castelia City and go to the Castelia Sewers. Otherwise, if it was autumn or winter when you were here before, you might have obtained some of the items already.

Surf all the way to the west. Turn on the Dowsing MCHN. Go down and Surf south then west to find an X Sp. Def. Surf up and then go back to the dry floor. Go south past the Janitor and Surf down again. Go southwest onto the floor to find a hidden Max Repel. Go west and Surf onto the next bit of floor to find a Black Sludge. Go back east and south between the two bridges and go west for a hidden Poison Gem. Surf east counterclockwise to find TM41 (Torment). Go east to battle a Scientist.

Surf northwest of him and onto the bridge. Go north and Surf to the west. You'll be on the west side of the area. There's a hidden Ultra Ball you can find with the Dowsing MCHN. Go northeast and into the room. Speak to the Scientist here. Depending on the result of his experiment, he'll give you one of the following items a day: Antidote, Full Heal, or Full Restore. You can visit him every day in the spring and summer. Go east of the room to battle a Janitor.

Go north of him and take the stairs up and you'll find a hidden back alley of Castelia City.

### Castelia City

To the west of the stairs is a Repel. Up north are three Trainers who tell you off for being in their hideout. They will all battle you.

Near them is a pair of BlackGlasses, which will raise the power of Dark-type moves when held.

### Relic Passage

Fly back to the Pokémon World Tournament and go west into the Relic Passage. Go southeast to the middle section and Surf to the west, then north to find a Big Pearl.

### Route 6

Go back to Route 6 and Surf east of the rest house and you'll find the entrance to Mistralton Cave.

## Mistralton Cave

Mistralton Cave is located on Route 6. Two years ago, the Legendary Pokémon Cobalion was here. Now that it has left, this cave has mostly been forgotten by the people nearby.

It's pitch black inside the cave—you can't see a step in front of you. You'll want to teach Flash to a Pokémon and use the move in the cave. The cave will then light up, making it much easier to explore. You'll also want to have your Dowsing MCHN on.

Just south of the entrance is a boulder that you can push into a hole with Strength. After pushing it in, go down the stairs and you can battle a Hiker.

East of him is another boulder to move into a nearby hole. There is a man that is blocking an entrance to Clay Tunnel here, so you can't get through until after entering the Hall of Fame. Ignore him for now and go north. Go down the steps on the east side to pick up a Dusk Ball. Go west to battle another Hiker.

Just west of him is another boulder. Push it in the hole to give you a shortcut back to the beginning of the cave. North of him is a Yellow Shard. Clockwise from him, use the Dowsing MCHN for a hidden Super Repel. Go back south of him and go up to the next floor. Go north to battle an Ace Trainer.

Go south and down the steps, and push the boulder in the hole. Keep going east for a hidden Green Shard. Go up the steps and east down the next set of steps. Head south and up the next set of steps and go west for a Hyper Potion. Go back east and north, and push the boulder into the hole. Go west and push another boulder into the nearby hole which creates another shortcut to the beginning of the floor. Go back east then north to battle another Ace Trainer.

Go up the stairs north of her and go all the way west for a Blue Shard. Go back down to the female Ace Trainer and wrap around the lower level to the west side for a hidden Ultra Ball. Go back east and hop down the ledge, and take the stairs up.

Up here is the Guidance Chamber. This is where Cobalion once resided two years ago. On the raised level east of the stairs is an Escape Rope. Go northeast to find TM80 (Rock Slide). Go back south and go northwest down the steps on the raised level. Push the two boulders south into their respective holes. Go up the stairs west of them and talk to the old man. He'll talk about Cobalion but won't give you anything. North of him in the rock is a hidden Dragon Gem. Go south of the boulders and west to find a hidden Full Heal in the rock. North of the old man is where Cobalion once was found.

After exploring the cave, exit back to Route 6 and go northwest into Chargestone Cave.

## Chargestone Cave

Chargestone Cave is a cave that connects Route 6 to Mistralton City. Here, electrically-charged stones seem to wait around every corner. Head inside and go north and you'll meet up with Bianca again. She tells you how you can push the floating blue stones. Clear the way forward by moving the stones blocking the path. Because they are electrically-charged, they will stick to boulders. If you try to push a stone in a direction with no boulders, it won't move. After she explains this, she leaves. Again, make sure you have your Dowsing MCHN on.

Chargestone Cave has a special magnetic field where you can evolve Magneton and Nosepass into Magnezone or Probopass, respectfully.

Go north and push the stone to the west. Just south of the boulder is a Full Heal. Go north and push the next stone east to clear the path. Go north to battle a Guitarist.

Go behind the ledge north of her for a hidden Yellow Shard. Go northeast for a Hyper Potion. Hop down the ledge west of that to battle a Scientist.

Move the rock south of him to the east to grab a Max Repel. Go back around past the Guitarist and southeast. Go between the narrow ledges to the northeast. With the Dowsing MCHN you can find a hidden Hyper Potion just up the steps. From there, go south and across the bridge. You'll hear someone's voice which says, *"I have to go in order to save Pokémon and protect the very friend that I have to stop!"* The person will leave before you find out who it is.

Keep going east over the bridge. Just past it is an Ace Trainer who will challenge you to a Triple Battle.

South of him, push the bottom rock to the boulder to gain access to the Magnet. This raises the power of Electric-type moves. Go down the nearby stairs.

Go west and you'll run into two people called the Nugget man and the Nugget Boy. The Nugget man will give you a Nugget, while the Nugget boy will give you a Big Nugget. Hold onto these for a while and you'll be able to sell them to an item maniac after you beat the game.

Go up the steps north of them and go north. You'll meet a Doctor here.

After winning, he'll heal your Pokémon every time you talk to him. Go west of the Nugget man and boy and go up the stairs. Talk to the Lady here and the Funfest Mission "Find Mysterious Ores!"**B2**/"Find Shining Ores!"**W2** will be added for you to play. South of her is a Pokémon Ranger.

You'll get a Chesto Berry for defeating him. South of him under the floating stone is a hidden Carbos. Go back down the stairs and go back to where the Doctor is. Just before him, use the Dowsing MCHN southwest of him to find a hidden Ultra Ball. Go east of him to pick up an Iron. Go south to battle another Pokémon Ranger.

She will also give you a Chesto Berry. Go north of the Doctor to find a Scientist.

Go west and push the stone west and go south to pick up a Revive. Go up and push the other stone north and go forward to find Bianca here. She'll tell you that Professor Juniper requested her to research Tynamo and she came here since this is where they are located.

Take the stairs going down and head south to battle a Guitarist.

Go south of her and move the stone to the right to get access to an Escape Rope. Go northeast to battle an Ace Trainer.

North of him is a Thunderstone. Go southwest of him down the steps to battle a Hiker.

Go southeast to find a Metal Coat, which raises the power of Steel-type moves, along with allowing Onix and Scyther to evolve into Steelix and Scizor respectfully if they hold it while being traded. Go northeast of that with the Dowsing MCHN to find a hidden Electric Gem. Go back to where the Hiker was and go up the steps and south to find an Ace Trainer who will challenge you to a Rotation Battle.

Go back north and up the stairs where Bianca was and go up the stairs east of her. Go south to battle another Ace Trainer.

Go southeast of her to battle another Hiker.

Just east of him is a Carbos. Go east of the Ace Trainer and you can exit the cave, and you'll be in Mistralton City.
