Appendix:Pokémon Crystal Walkthrough/Part 14

## Blackthorn City

The first thing you can do is go to the first house just out of the Ice Path. There is a girl who wants a female Dragonair for her Dodrio.

There is a Poké Mart here.

There is also a Move Deleter here, who will delete any of your unwanted moves, including HMs. He is in the house next to the Poké Mart.

Up on the ledges on Saturdays, you can find Santos of Saturday, who will give you a Spell Tag, which raises the power of Ghost-type moves.

Past the ledges is the Blackthorn Gym.

### Blackthorn Gym

This Gym is pretty simple to navigate through. Defeat the first Cooltrainer, then climb the stairs. Head down and face the female Cooltrainer, then push the right boulder all the way down, and push the left one up, then go up and push the boulder into the hole. Head up and face the trainer, then push the boulder all the way right, then push the other boulder down the hole. Drop down the hole, face the trainer, then cross the bridge you created with the boulders falling down. Face the last trainer, cross the other boulder, and you'll be at the Gym Leader, Clair.

Even though you defeat her, she refuses to hand her Badge out. She says to truly test your skills, you have to take the Dragon User Challenge in the Dragon's Den behind the Gym.

Exit the Gym and Surf behind to the Dragon's Den.

### Dragon's Den

Immediately upon entering, you'll have to face a trainer.

Go right to find a Calcium. Surf down a bit to battle another Cooltrainer.

Surf a bit lower to find some Twins.

Right next to them is a Max Elixir. Surf right and use Whirlpool to cross the whirlpool, then head down until you reach the Dragon Shrine. If you Surf to the right and up on the right side of the cave, you can find a Dragon Fang, which raises Dragon-type moves.

At the Shrine, you'll meet the Dragon Clan Elder. He will test you on a few things.

 What helps you to win battles?
 What kind of Trainer do you wish to battle?
 What is most important for raising Pokémon?
 Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. Which is more important?

Use these answers and you'll pass. Clair will come in and see that you passed, and she will be mad. The Elder confronts her, and threatens to inform Lance about her behavior. She gives in and gives you the  Rising Badge. This ensures that you can use Waterfall freely. All Pokémon will obey you now, no matter what.

Exit the Shrine and Clair will run after you. She forgot to give you TM24 (DragonBreath). She recommends challenging the Pokémon League now that you have all the Johto Badges.

If you re-enter the Shrine (with an empty spot in your party), the Elder will give you a special Dratini that knows the move ExtremeSpeed.

♀**Dratini**Lv. 15Dragon Scale\*

Exit the Dragon's Den and Professor Elm will call you, saying he has something for you. First of all, though, head south of Blackthorn City to Route 45.

## Route 45

If you go down the ledge on the left side above Blackthorn, you can battle a Hiker.

Down the next few ledges by the grass is a Max Potion.

Just down the ledge is a female Cooltrainer.

Down the left ledge is a Nugget. Go down a bit more to get a Revive. Over the right ledge is another Hiker.

Down a bit more is a Camper.

If you go down the ledge on the right side above Blackthorn, you can battle a Cooltrainer.

Go back to Blackthorn City. Go down and on the very right side is an Elixir. Drop down the ledge and you can face another Hiker.

Go right of the female Cooltrainer and down the right ledge. You'll fight a Black Belt.

Down from him on the right is another Hiker.

Keep going down and you'll find a MysteryBerry. Go down the ledge and right and you'll be on Route 46.

## Route 46

Here is one of the three entrances to Dark Cave. The other ones are just south of Blackthorn City and the other is on the east side of Route 31. We will be going through that section later.

You'll find two trees on the west side of the cave holding a Berry and a PRZCureBerry.

Jump the ledges below Dark Cave to find two trainers: a Camper and a Picnicker.

Right by them is an X Attack.

Instead of hopping the west edge to get to the two trainers, you can alternatively hop the south ledge to get to another Hiker.

Now you'll be on the bottom of the route. Just south of here is Route 29, the first route on your journey. Head right from there to get back to New Bark Town.
