Appendix:Pokémon Black and White Walkthrough/Part 3

## Route 3

Before heading to Route 3, go behind the bushes to the left of the gateway arches. Face the tree above the leftmost bush to collect a BalmMushroom. This is an excellent item to sell for lots of money. However, later in the game, there are item maniacs who will purchase them for even more than a regular Poké Mart, so it's wise to hold onto them.

Straight ahead from Striaton City is Route 3. Keep going north and you'll run into the Day Care. There are several Trainers nearby to battle; the first of which are a pair of Twins that you can fight in a Double Battle with.

Go up the stairs. Inside the school building is a lady who will heal your Pokémon. The lady to the left of the school building outside will battle you.

The two Preschoolers south of the slide will battle with you as well.

And the little boy by the side of the slide will battle you as well.

Check the middle of the sandbox to find a hidden Ultra Ball. Inside the Day Care, you can leave a Pokémon to have it gain experience while you are out exploring the world. To get it back, it'll cost 100 plus an additional 100 for each level the Pokémon had gained while here. However, a Pokémon cannot evolve while here. If it reaches a level where it learns a new move, it will learn said move. Initially, only one Pokémon can be left here at a time until you reach a certain point in the game.

Head left past the Twins and Cheren will stop you to battle.

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

After the battle, he will question why he keeps losing to you. Just then, a few Team Plasma Grunts rush past the two of you. Bianca runs up with a little girl. She explains that the girl's Pokémon was stolen by Team Plasma. Cheren rushes westward to Wellspring Cave to confront them.

Just north in the grass is a Super Potion. If you try to go south, Bianca will stop you. Head west and you'll find Cheren by the cave. Just before talking to him, go east into the grass to battle another Trainer.

She will give you an Oran Berry for defeating her. Just below her you'll find a Repel.

Head back and talk to Cheren, then enter the Wellspring Cave.

## Wellspring Cave

Immediately upon entering, you are forced into a battle with Team Plasma.

After defeating him, two more Plasma Grunts show up and take you and Cheren on in a Multi Battle. Cheren will use the same team as before.

After they're defeated, the surrender the stolen Pokémon and depart. Cheren then leaves to return it to the little girl. Go around counterclockwise to the other side of the ledge and pick up TM46 (Thief). Hop the ledge and exit the cave.

## Route 3

Go back and talk to Bianca and the little girl. As a gift, the girl will give you three Heal Balls. They will then depart, leaving you to explore the rest of the route. Head down and you can battle a School Kid.

In the grass near him you can pick up an Antidote. Head down and Cheren will tell you about the dark grass before heading to Nacrene City.

In dark grass, not only are Pokémon found usually at much higher levels than those in regular grass, but there is a chance of encountering two wild Pokémon at a time, in a Double Battle. Pokémon encountered in dark grass are often similar to those found in normal grass areas of the route, but not identical (in particular, Pokémon encountered in dark grass may be slightly more difficult to catch). Often, Pokémon which are rare in normal grass are more common in dark grass. Pokémon encountered in dark grass may also have a 1% chance of holding a special item.
Patches of dark grass are typically separated from patches of normal grass. Dark grass does not rustle. There is also long dark grass, which behaves like both types of grass simultaneously.

Below the dark grass is another School Kid.

Head south into the grass just below the bridge to grab a Great Ball. On the bridge is another School Kid.

Once across the bridge, go down into the grass to pick up an Awakening. There is another School Kid nearby.

Just head west through the gate to reach Nacrene City.

## Nacrene City

Once you enter, Cheren will show you towards the Pokémon Center. Before heading off, he tells you the Gym Leader uses Normal-type Pokémon. He will also give you three Chesto Berries. These can wake Pokémon up from Sleep.

Inside the Pokémon Center, heal up, then check out the Poké Mart.

* Upper cashier
* Lower cashier

Two houses east of the Pokémon Center is a woman who will rate your lead Pokémon's friendship level. Head up the stairs and talk to the girl. She will offer to trade you Petilil for Cottonee in Black, and Cottonee for Petilil in White.

Follow the train tracks all the way west and face one tile away from the fence to grab a hidden Revive. Inside the second house west of the Pokémon Center, you'll find a girl in the southwest part of the floor who will see you're working on a Pokédex. She ask who your Starter Pokémon was, and will offer you one of three items depending on your answer: a Miracle Seed if you choose "Snivy," a Charcoal if you choose "Tepig," or a Mystic Water if you choose "Oshawott." You can answer it any way you want; it doesn't have to be the one you actually started with.

In the house to the right of that one is a man who sells battle items.

Northwest of the Pokémon Center is a place called Café Warehouse. Inside, if you speak to the girl near the entrance on Wednesdays, she explains that, they have specials, and will give you a Soda Pop.

Go through the gap in the fence near the Café Warehouse. You'll reach the outskirts of the Pinwheel Forest. Near the base of the tree at the top is a hidden Super Potion.

Now it's time to head for the Nacrene Gym. As you are about to enter, however, you'll have a surprise visit from N. He talks about his vision for a perfect world, and will then battle you.

He will talk about wanting to awaken a legendary dragon Pokémon before leaving. Now you're free to enter the Museum, which also doubles as the Gym.

### Nacrene Gym

Upon entering the Museum, talk to the lady at the desk on the right side. She will offer to restore any Fossils you receive.

The man near the statue will introduce himself as Hawes, the assistant director. He will give you a tour of the Museum. The skeleton he was near is that of a Dragon-type Pokémon who closely resembles Dragonite. The next stop is a meteorite that, when examined, can change Deoxys into any of its four forms, depending on which one it is currently in. The third stop is that of an "ordinary old stone." Up ahead is the Gym, managed by Hawes' wife, Lenora. Feel free to check out the other exhibits before entering the Gym.

Inside, Clyde, the Gym guide, will give you a Fresh Water. This will happen in all the Gyms in Unova. The Gym puzzle features a library that doubles as a scavenger hunt to find clues to reach Lenora. Clyde tells you the title of the first book you need to find.

 *The Biology of Patrat* | "Flame burns inside its body, and it gives off smoke from its head while it runs..."
 *The Structure of a Locomotive* | "If you heat it up in a pot, it'll be delicious."
 *Sweets for Pokémon* | "From this bookshelf... Move two backward, move one to the left, move two forward,  move one to the right, and move one backward... Now, where is it?"

For defeating her, Lenora will award you with the  Basic Badge! This will allow all Pokémon up to Lv.  30 to obey. You will also receive TM67 (Retaliate).

Hawes will rush in afterwards, telling Lenora that Team Plasma has invaded the Museum. Follow them back up to confront the villains, who are trying to make off with the Dragon Skull. After they steal it, Lenora rushes outside. After heading out, Burgh, an old friend of Lenora's, will greet her. After introducing you to Burgh, Castelia City's Gym Leader, Bianca and Cheren show up. Lenora tells them what's happened and tells them to stay and guard the Museum. She then tells you to go with Burgh to search Pinwheel Forest. After Lenora and Burgh leave, Bianca will give you a Dowsing MCHN that she received from Fennel. Use this to locate hidden items. Now go west to help Burgh search the Pinwheel Forest.
