Appendix:Pokémon Black and White Walkthrough/Part 12

## Opelucid City

The visual style of the city differs drastically between both versions. In Black, it's very futuristic and high-tech and focuses on the future; in White, it's more primitive and old-timey and focuses on the past.

When you first enter the city, you'll find Alder, who tells you to follow him. He leads you to a speech being made by Ghetsis surrounded by members of Team Plasma. Ghetsis tells the crowd that N has combined forces with the Legendary Dragon-type Pokémon and intends to create a new world. He persuades the crowd to release their Pokémon so that Pokémon and people can be separated. He and his lackeys will then leave. The residents of Opelucid City talk amongst themselves in confusion to what just happened before departing.

Two of the residents remain there: Drayden and Iris. Alder takes you over to meet with them for clues about the Legendary Dragon Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom and what N plans to do. Alder then says he'll return to the Pokémon League and once you've obtained Opelucid Gym's Badge to come there to challenge it. Drayden then invites you to come to his home to hear what he has to say about the Legendary Dragon Pokémon. Iris will lead the way to his house, northwest of the Pokémon Center.

They explain the mythology of the two Dragons, but they don't know exactly how to awaken the Legendary Dragon from the Light Stone**B**/Dark Stone**W**. Drayden then says that he promised Alder that you could challenge the Opelucid Gym. In Black, Drayden will be your opponent, while in White, you'll face Iris.

Before leaving Drayden's house, go upstairs and talk to the people up there. The Linebacker will give you a Float Stone, while the girl at the southern part of the table will give you a Ring Target.

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

South of the Pokémon Center is a vending machine (two machines in Black), which, as usual, sells different drinks.

On the ground is a hidden Max Repel you can find with the Dowsing Machine. If you try to go east of the city through the gate, the road will be closed.

Go to the house north of the Pokémon Center. The girl on the ground level will check the EVs of your Pokémon. On the top floor, you'll meet a man, Bach, and his son, Thyme. Talk to Thyme**B**/Bach**W** and they'll mention they want to enter the past**B**/future**W**. A machine was completed in both versions to allow this. If you show them a Pokémon with the move Charge from the opposite version (by trading), they will get the machine working. After they have their talk from different dimensions, they will give you a Cell Battery.

Go behind this house to the northwest and use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Ultra Ball. In the western house nearby is a girl who will give you a Destiny Knot. Next door to this is the Battle House. Here you can battle two Ace Trainers. In Black you'll be doing Rotation Battles, while in White, you'll do Triple Battles.

Head to the house southwest of the Gym. The old man will give you a different Prop for the Pokémon Musical once per day up to four times. Now it's time to enter the Opelucid Gym.

### Opelucid Gym

For the final time, Clyde will give you a free Fresh Water as he always has. The puzzle involves three dragon heads that move their heads when you hit the nearby switch. Go forward and battle the first Ace Trainer, then go east and north onto the dragon's back until you can go east off the ledge. Go north and then west to battle the next Ace Trainer, then jump the ledge to hit the switch. Keep going across the dragon's neck and off the head. Go south to battle another Ace Trainer. Head east down the ledge and the switch will move the dragon's head north. Follow it north, then clockwise to battle the next Ace Trainer. Go west of her to step on the next switch. Jump the ledge going south to battle a Veteran. Go west of him and then north, then east to jump onto the switch. Go northeast across the dragon's head and go down the stairs to battle another Ace Trainer. Head south of him and then west onto the next switch. If you head south of him you'll reach a dead-end, so circle around once more and hit the switch a second time. Go southeast on the dragon's head and follow the path to battle one more Ace Trainer. Jump on the switch and go south across the dragon's head. Follow the path until you can go east, and you'll reach another Veteran. Go northwest from her and hit the switch, which will allow the dragon's head to reach Drayden**B**/Iris**W**.

After defeating him/her, he/she will award you with your eighth and final Gym Badge: the  Legend Badge! All Pokémon will now obey you no matter what. You'll also receive TM82 (Dragon Tail). Take the warp panel behind the Gym Leader to get out of the Gym faster.

Once outside, Professor Juniper will be waiting for you. She will see you have all eight Badges now. She will lead you to the gate to Route 10, which will lead to the Pokémon League and Victory Road. After saying how glad she is that she gave you a Pokémon, she will bestow upon you the Master Ball, which will allow you to catch any Pokémon without fail. She will depart, leaving you to trek forward.

As you head through the gate, however, the guard will stop you and say there's a huge storm over on Route 7. Fly back to Mistralton City and go north to Route 7 real quick to check it out.

## Route 7

As you pass by the house at the center of the route, the old woman living there will invite you in for soup, while she tells you about Tornadus that creates windstorms**B**/Thundurus that creates thunderstorms**W**. She mentions in the mornings, it's in the south, while in the evenings, it's in the north. After she tells her story, leave the house and the Legendary Pokémon will show up, cause its storm, then leave. From this point onward, it will be roaming around Unova. Like the old woman mentioned, watch the time and your location. Luckily you'll know if you're in the same place because of the weather.

Now head back to Opelucid City and go north to Route 10.
