Appendix:Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Walkthrough/Part 13

## Opelucid City

The visual style of Opelucid City differs drastically between both versions. In Black 2, it's very futuristic and high-tech and focuses on the future; in White 2, it's more primitive and old-timey and focuses on the past. Drayden, the Opelucid Gym Leader, is also its mayor.

Iris, who you met in Castelia City, will meet you as you enter the city. After she shows you where to find the Gym, she recommends that you go to Route 9 before taking on Drayden.

Enter the Pokémon Center directly west of where you were. As usual, heal up and check out the Poké Mart.

* Upper cashier
* Lower cashier

Just south of the Pokémon Center is a vending machine.

The house northwest of the Pokémon Center is Drayden's house. On the top floor is a Linebacker who will give you a Float Stone. The girl at the opposite end of the table from him will give you a Ring Target.

Go to the western part of town and into the house west of the Trainer Tips sign. The Gentleman inside will give you one Prop for the Pokémon Musical in Nimbasa City each day. Stop by four days in a row to get them all. They are listed in the item list above.

Just north of this house is the Gym. You can challenge it now if you want, but a better choice is to follow Iris's advice and head for Route 9 first.

In the house just east of the Gym is a girl who will give you a Smoke Ball. The house next door to the east of that is formerly the Battle House. Two years ago there were several Trainers to battle here, but now they are all at the Pokémon World Tournament instead.

Northeast of this house was formerly the entrance to Route 10, but it has been sealed off due to the collapse of the old Victory Road, making Route 10 completely inaccessible in these games.

On the second floor of the house just north of the Pokémon Center, there are five Tympole. If you have a Tympole in your party when you talk to the man there, you'll have an opportunity to hear six Tympole singing in harmony.

Once you're done exploring Opelucid City, head west onto Route 9.

## Route 9

Route 9 is a paved road that cuts through a wooded area. On the north side is Shopping Mall Nine, the Unova region's department store.

Directly south of the gate is a gap in the fence, where, in the corner, is an Elixir. Go west into the dark grass and you can battle a Roughneck.

Go to the northwest of him to pick up a Nugget. Down the stairs from him is an Iron. Nearby is where Challenger's Cave used to be before it was sealed off, making it permanently inaccessible. Southeast of the stairs is a hidden Dark Gem.

Go back to the gate on the east side and go north to battle another Roughneck.

There are more vending machines by him.

Go southwest to battle a Biker.

Northwest of him is Shopping Mall Nine, which will be covered in the section below. Keep going west to battle another Biker.

Just below him is a Quick Ball. Go northwest to battle some Hooligans in a Double Battle.

Right by them is an HP Up. Go back east and check out Shopping Mall Nine.

### Shopping Mall Nine

This department store has three floors. There's stairs to get to each level instead of elevators like previous department stores. The prices for all the items sold here are as follows:

* Bottom section
* Middle section
* Top section
* Vending machine

* Left Cashier
* Right Cashier

* Left Cashier
* Right Cashier

Also, unlike other department stores, this one has Trainers inside you can battle. On the bottom section is a Waitress.

The Lady southwest of her will lend you 1,200 so you can buy a Hyper Potion for her. If you bring her one that day, she'll give you an Energy Root. If you wait and bring it to her the next day, she'll give you an EnergyPowder instead.

Talk to the Waiter on the top floor to battle him.

At the back of the mall, you'll be able to walk casually into a warehouse packed with cardboard boxes containing appliances. In the northeast corner is a Poké Doll. If you visit this room with Rotom in your party, you'll be able to change its form.

Once you're done shopping here, it's finally time for your next Gym battle. Go east through the gate to return to Opelucid City. Heal your Pokémon up at the Pokémon Center and make your way to the Opelucid Gym.

## Opelucid City

### Opelucid Gym

At the beginning of the Gym, Clyde will, as usual, give you a Fresh Water. In order to make your way up to Drayden, you'll have to defeat the Trainers on either the right or the left side of the dragon statue.

After defeating him, Drayden will award you with the  Legend Badge! Now, Pokémon up to Lv. 80, including those traded to you, will obey you in battle. You'll also receive TM82 (Dragon Tail).

When you leave the Gym, you'll be told to follow Drayden to his home. There, Drayden will tell you the tale of Zekrom and Reshiram, the legend of the other Dragon-type Pokémon, Kyurem, and the story behind the DNA Splicers that have been passed down in his family for generations.

After the story, the Plasma Frigate suddenly appears in the sky and releases an icy cannon blast, freezing the whole city solid. Drayden has his Haxorus try to break the ice, to no avail. Zinzolin appears before Drayden and demands that he hand over the DNA Splicers. Drayden refuses, but Zinzolin does not give up that easily. He sends his Grunts out into the city to search for the DNA Splicers.

The city may be covered in ice, but you can still use the Pokémon Center to heal up. On the east side the Pokémon Center is where you will battle the first Plasma Grunt.

Slide to the northwest of him to battle the next Grunt.

Slide east then south to battle the last one.

After defeating the three Plasma Grunts, slide north to the Gym. Zinzolin is standing before its entrance. Speak to him and you'll be drawn into battle.

After defeating him, Zinzolin will depart. Drayden appears and heals your Pokémon for you as thanks for protecting his treasure from Team Plasma. It seems that the DNA Splicers he had hidden away are still safe. He retrieves them from the Gym to check that they are still fine. At that moment, the Shadow Triad appears and steals the DNA Splicers from Drayden. Follow after them as they try to flee.

As you proceed east of the Pokémon Center, you'll encounter one of the Shadow Triad standing in front of the gate to Route 11. A battle starts as soon as you get close.

Even though you've defeated one of the Shadow Triad, you didn't manage to recover the DNA Splicers since he didn't have them. Drayden follows you to apologize to you. The Xtransceiver suddenly rings. Cheren and Hugh are both on the call. After the call regarding Team Plasma's ship, Cheren rushes to the scene. He tells you that Team Plasma must be close to Humilau City, because it has the lowest temperature in Unova at the moment.

It is of note that Route 9, to the west of Opelucid City, has also been frozen by the Plasma Frigate's icy cannon. In order to get to Shopping Mall Nine, you'll have to go through the fence at the bottom to cross the ice. Route 11 to the east has also been frozen, but there's no reason to go back there.

You can make your way to Humilau City through the Marine Tube in Undella Town, so that is your next destination.
