Appendix:Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Walkthrough/Part 7

## Hearthome City

Just as you're entering the city, a Buneary runs towards you, followed closely by its Trainer. She recalls it, then introduces herself as Keira, one of the judges for the Pokémon Super Contest. She invites you to drop by the Contest Hall to speak to her.

There is a gate you can enter going south that leads to Route 212, but it's currently blocked by some reporters. So for now, head to the southeast part of the city and talk to the Hiker, who will give you an Egg, which will eventually hatch into a Happiny. Make sure to have room in your party to receive it.

If you go northwest you'll see a fisherman who can show you the way to the Contest Hall; however, this is optional. If you do go there, you'll see a woman out front blocking the way. She introduces herself as Fantina, the Hearthome Gym Leader. She says you will challenge her—but not yet. You'll have to earn four Badges before you can.

Inside the Contest Hall, you'll meet Keira again, as well as—your mom, whose name is revealed to be Johanna; she's apparently a Contest star. After a quick conversation, Keira will give you a Ethereal Sticker C. She will leave. Your mom will see you might be interested in Super Contests, and will give you a glamorous new outfit to wear for them: a tuxedo for male players, and a dress for female players. She will then depart. If you talk to the person at the desk inside the Contest Hall, he will give you a Mild Poffin for your Poffin Case.

Feel free to explore the city. Stop inside the Poké Mart and check out what's available.

The building just north of where the fisherman is standing is the Pokémon Fan Club. Talk to the Chairman and he'll give you a Poffin Case. This will allow you to bake Poffins and store them inside of it. Poffins are useful when participating in Super Contests, as they raise a Pokémon's Contest conditions. The girl on the left side of the couch will rate the friendship of the first Pokémon in your party.

Go into the building east of the Fan Club. This is the Pokémon Hotel. Go up the elevator to the second floor and talk to the woman. She will give you a Shell Bell. This is a held item that can slowly restore a Pokémon's HP.

The house directly west of the Poké Mart is the Poffin House. Here you can cook Berries and turn them into Poffins. Talk to the woman near the machine and she'll explain how it works. You have to stir the batter in certain directions (which is shown as you play the minigame), and you have to try not to burn it or spill it. The quality and level of the Poffin is determined how well you do. It's also wise to use different Berries; if you use the same Berries, it will turn out foul.

The building west of this is the Foreign Building. It's similar to a cathedral of sorts, and if you go inside, there will be no background music playing. There's really nothing of interest here, so head back outside.

The house to the right of the Pokémon Center is Bebe's house. She's the Pokémon Storage System administrator for the Sinnoh region. She remembers you from your brief visit in Jubilife City after taking on Team Galactic, where she gave you the Ball Capsules. She won't do anything for you until after beating the game.

Just northwest of the Pokémon Center is Amity Square. You probably have seen some people talking about it in town. If you sneak through the fence near the west gate, you can find a hidden Tiny Mushroom near the top.

## Amity Square

Approach the receptionist near the entrance to the park, and she'll say you can take a stroll with a cute Pokémon. Only certain Pokémon are considered "cute" for this:

Head to the northeast area to pick up TM45 (Attract). There's a lady nearby with a machine to make Poffins, like in the Poffin House. Go all the way south and west a little to find TM43 (Volt Switch). Go east then up the steps on the cliff. Go north of the boy with the Drifloon and go to the northeast corner of the two huts to find a Spooky Plate. This can raise the power of Ghost-type moves. Inside the west hut on the left side is an Amulet Coin, which can double the prize money you earn if the Pokémon holding it takes part in the battle.

After you've walked with your Pokémon in Amity Square at least once, you can choose a Pokémon in your party to follow you outside of the square. This can be done through the menu by selecting "Walk together."

Now, go back into town and head towards the south. As you do, you'll be greeted by Barry, who of course, wants to battle.

* If you chose Turtwig
* If you chose Chimchar
* If you chose Piplup

After being defeated, he'll complain, then head off towards Veilstone City to take on the Gym there. Feel free to stay in town to do a Super Contest show if you'd like, then whenever you're ready, head through the southeast gate onto Route 209.

## Route 209

Right outside the gate is a Pokémon Breeder to battle.

Just east of him is a fisherman who will give you a Good Rod. Now there are a few stronger Pokémon to fish up in the water besides Magikarp. To the north of the Pokémon Breeder through the tall grass is a girl training for a Super Contest show with her Bibarel. If you have participated in a Contest, she will give you 3 Electricity Stickers B. In the northeast corner is a jar of Honey.

Just north of the fisherman who gives you the Good Rod is a Jogger running around. He will battle you, but only if it's morning.

Near him are some Twins.

Go across the bridges north of them and talk to the girl, who will give you 3 Flora Stickers E. Near her you can pick two Leppa Berries and two Chesto Berries. Go back and east of the Twins is a Poké Kid standing by the water.

Go across the bridge south of her and around to the northeast to pick up an X Accuracy. Go back to the main path and across the bridge to battle another Pokémon Breeder.

In the pit north of her is a hidden Tiny Mushroom. There's another Jogger just southeast that will also only battle you in the morning.

East of him is the Hallowed Tower. If you inspect it, it shows it would fit the Odd Keystone inside of it. In order for anything to take place here, after inserting the Odd Keystone inside, you have to go to the Grand Underground and speak to 32 different people. The Hikers that sell Spheres do not count, though. After you do this, and come back to inspect the tower, a wild Spiritomb will attack you.

♀**Spiritomb**Lv. 25No itemPressure

The Hiker north of the Hallowed Tower will give you 3 Star Stickers B. Just northeast you can pluck four Razz Berries. Go through the grass to the left and use your Bicycle to go up the muddy slope. North of the slope is a Calcium. Go back to the other slope to find a hidden Awakening in the bottom rock. Go up the slope to battle a Cowgirl.

Just north of her is a Young Couple that will battle you in a Double Battle.

Near them is the Lost Tower. You'll want to check it out before going much further. Before going inside, go on the east side and cut the bushes down to pick up TM47 (Steel Wing). Feel free to check out Solaceon Town first, but when you're ready, head inside the Lost Tower.

## Lost Tower

There's nothing on the first floor, so head up to the second floor. There is a Youngster here you need to battle.

North of him is an Oval Stone. In the southeast corner of the room is a hidden bag of Stardust. Go up the stairs and go south, then west to battle a Roughneck.

West of him is a Revive. Go north of him to battle a Poké Fan.

Go up the stairs and there will be several more battles.

The next battle is a Double Battle.

West of them is TM27 (Low Sweep). There's another Double Battle north of here.

Just up the stairs are two elderly women. Talk to the one on the left to receive three copies of TM96 (Strength), which also adds the move Strength to the Hidden Moves app. However, you can't use it outside of battle until you have six Badges. The woman on the right will give you a Cleanse Tag.

Head back outside and go north to reach Solaceon Town.
