Appendix:Pokémon Crystal Walkthrough/Part 12

## Mahogany Town

There's not a whole lot in Mahogany Town just yet. The Mahogany Gym is blocked right now. There is a man on the east side that prevents you from passing, but he sells you RageCandyBars for 300. There is no Poké Mart, but the shop in the center of town sells some items.

* Before exposing Team Rocket
* After defeating Team Rocket

Not much to do here at the moment. Head up through the gate to Route 43.

## Route 43

There is a Camper right by the gate.

If you go up inside the gate, two Team Rocket Grunts will stop you, charging you 1,000. Go through to get a Max Ether. Go back down the ledges and go up. There will be some more trainers to battle.

If you Surf across the nearby lake and then use Cut, you can get a Bitter Berry.

Down from these two is a Fisher.

Go left and up.

## Lake of Rage

In the corner of the trees is a hidden Full Restore. Go up and use Cut. You'll find yourself in a Cut maze. Cut the one on the left and go all the way up to find a hidden Rare Candy.

On Wednesday, you'll find Wesley of Wednesday here, and he'll give you a Black Belt, which raises the power of Fighting-type moves.

The tree on the right leads to another cuttable tree, which will lead you to an Elixir. Backtrack and go right. You'll find a Max Potion. Go west from here and you'll find a house wherein a man will give you TM10 (Hidden Power).

Head back down until you get to the two PokéManiacs and go up. You'll now be in the main part of the Lake of Rage. In the top right, right next to the lake is a hidden Max Potion. Go back and Surf up. You'll eventually see a mysterious red Gyarados. You'll be able to battle and catch it.

♂
♀**Shiny****Gyarados**Lv. 30No item

After the battle, you'll automatically obtain the Red Scale. If you take this back to Mr. Pokémon on Route 30, he'll give you an Exp. Share in exchange for it.

Surf back down and you'll see a person wearing a cape. This is Lance of the Pokémon League. He was investigating the rumors of the Magikarp in the Lake of Rage being forced to evolve prematurely, which is likely what caused the Red Gyarados to be red. He believes Team Rocket is involved. He leaves, so follow him back to the shop in Mahogany Town.

You'll find him telling his Dragonite to use Hyper Beam to ensure cooperation from the shopkeeper. Lance tells you there is a strange radio signal coming from in here. A set of stairs appears. Go down and you'll be in the Team Rocket HQ.

## Team Rocket HQ

Head left and the security will go off, signaling two Team Rocket members, back-to-back.

These two will appear until you hit a secret switch. Keep going left until you find a gap in the wall. Keep going down until you see a Scientist next to a computer.

Push the switch on his computer to stop the security Rockets from reappearing. To the right of him is a Guard Spec. Go up and right and you'll find a Hyper Potion. Go down to the bottom and left. You'll find a Nugget.

If you keep going left, you'll find some stairs, and will be able to skip the next part. However, for the sake of this walkthrough, we'll be going through it. After finding the Nugget, go up to the top again and you'll be able to fight another Team Rocket Grunt.

Below him are some traps with Pokémon hidden in them: Geodude, Voltorb, and Koffing.

Go down the stairs. You'll meet up with Lance, who will heal your Pokémon. Head straight right and you'll fight another Grunt.

To the right of him is another Grunt.

Take the stairs. Lance will meet you and tell you there are two passwords required to get to the Boss's quarters. The Rocket Grunt next to Lance was the one who told him that. He doesn't battle you out of fear of Lance. Grab the Full Heal on the right side of the floor. Go into the nearby room. Battle the Scientist and the female Team Rocket Grunt.

Talk to her afterwards and she'll give you the first password: SlowpokeTail. However, you still need to find the other password. Go left to fight another Scientist and a Grunt.

He gives you the other password: RaticateTail. Next to him are an X Special and a Protein. Go back and up. You'll find an Ice Heal. Go right and take the stairs up.

Go all the way left to fight another Grunt.

Take the stairs. Take the next stairs to get TM46 (Thief), then go back up. Head down and you'll run into Silver, who insists on taking down Team Rocket alone. Apparently, Lance defeated him in battle. He pushes you away. Pick up the Ultra Ball, then press 🅐 on the door to the room. The two passwords will open the door. Enter and you'll have to fight one of the Executives.

He goes to inform the other members of his team. Talk to the Murkrow in the corner, who will give you the password to the generator room: Hail Giovanni.

Go back to the generator room and open the door with the password. However, before entering, you are stopped by a female Executive and a Grunt. They'll both try to ambush you, but Lance comes and battles the Grunt while you battle the Executive.

Regardless that they were defeated here, they call their mission a success. Lance goes to stop the generator, but realizes that in order to shut it down, all the Electrode have to faint. You can also capture them if you want. There are six, but you only have to face three, while Lance takes the other three.

After defeating them, Lance gives you HM06 (Whirlpool), which will allow you to cross whirlpools, such as those by the Whirl Islands. He leaves, hoping to meet up with you again. Climb the stairs and exit the hideout. You can take the nearby warp pad to warp back to the beginning. Exit the shop.

## Mahogany Town

Now the Mahogany Gym is unguarded, so head in there now.

### Mahogany Gym

This Gym is a little tricky to get around. Play around on the ice tiles and you'll eventually reach the Gym Leader, Pryce.

After defeating him, he gives you the  Glacier Badge, which allows for the move Whirlpool to be used outside of battle. Also, he gives you TM16 (Icy Wind).

After exiting the Gym, Professor Elm calls you and says there are strange radio broadcasts mentioning Team Rocket. You'll have to go back to the Goldenrod Radio Tower to fix this problem once and for all.

First of all, head back up to the Lake of Rage. There are some trainers that weren't there before defeating Team Rocket.

## Lake of Rage

If you go down to Route 43 and around, back up to the Lake of Rage, you'll eventually find a male Cooltrainer.

Now fly back to Goldenrod City to stop Team Rocket for good.
