Appendix:Pokémon Black and White Walkthrough/Part 11

## Desert Resort

Once back in the Desert Resort after going north of Castelia City or south of Nimbasa City, head to the center to locate the entrance to the Relic Castle. Outside, as you might have noticed before, are some statues. If you approach one and give it a RageCandyBar, it will attack you. These statues are actually Darmanitan with their Hidden Ability, Zen Mode.

As you approach the entrance to the Relic Castle, Cheren will approach you saying Alder went on ahead. When you're ready, enter the castle.

## Relic Castle

Head past the quicksand and down the stairs at the southwest corner. You'll meet Ryoku of the Seven Sages down here, who says Ghetsis is testing you to see if you can defeat Team Plasma. Just past him is a Plasma Grunt.

Go down the quicksand north of him and pick up the Max Potion to the south. Head west to battle another Grunt.

If you sneak past the quicksand, you can battle another Grunt.

Go east past the quicksand below him to grab TM30 (Shadow Ball). Drop down the quicksand near there and you can battle another Grunt.

South of the quicksand just west of him is a Max Revive. Sneak past the quicksand and go west to battle another Grunt.

West of that pile of quicksand is a PP Up. Drop down the center pile of quicksand to reach the next floor below. On top of the southeast pile of sand is a hidden Super Potion. Just north of where you dropped in is a Sun Stone. Keep going north and up the next two flights of stairs. Jump the ledge to the south past the Grunt and go down the quicksand. This time, take the southwest patch of quicksand down. There are two Grunts you need to battle here.

Drop down the quicksand near them and Cheren will drop down immediately after you. You'll see Alder and Ghetsis talking. Ghetsis says the Light Stone**B**/Dark Stone**W** is not here. He tells you that in order to battle the king, you need to resurrect the other Legendary Dragon Pokémon. After the conversation, Ghetsis will depart. Alder realizes his only option is to return to the Pokémon League to battle N. Cheren suggests going outside. After you are all lead there, your Xtransceiver rings. Professor Juniper is calling with urgency saying to return to Nacrene Museum. After Alder leaves, immediately fly back there.

## Nacrene City

Back at the Museum, Professor Juniper, Cedric Juniper, Bianca, and Alder are all there waiting. Lenora comes out of the Museum and will give you the Light Stone**B**/Dark Stone**W**! Alder realizes that if you take it, you're the one that's needed to battle N. Say yes, and the responsibility to awaken the Dragon becomes yours. Lenora will mention "those two." Alder says to head to Opelucid City, where the Gym Leader uses Dragon-type Pokémon. After everyone (minus Bianca and Lenora) leaves, fly back to Icirrus City and head northeast to Route 8. There's a few things to see before heading to Opelucid City.

## Route 8

Just to the northwest between the two puddles is a hidden Max Elixir that you can find with the Dowsing Machine. Keep heading north on the west side to battle a Pokémon Ranger.

He'll give you a Pecha Berry for defeating him. North of him is a Poison Barb, which increases the power of Poison-type moves when held. Go east of him to the north border of the lake to grab TM36 (Sludge Bomb). Surf to the south part of the lake to battle a Parasol Lady.

East of her is a Full Heal. Go southeast of her and talk to the other Parasol Lady to receive TM42 (Facade). The Fisherman near the water will battle you.

Just northeast of him is another Parasol Lady.

Just east of her is another Parasol Lady. She won't battle you, but she will give you one of three items once per day, which differs depending on the time of day: a Damp Rock if it's morning; a Heat Rock if it's daytime; a Smooth Rock if it's evening; or an Icy Rock if it's night. Just east of her is the gate to Tubeline Bridge, which leads to Opelucid City. However, head back northwest of this as there's another area to check out first.

Use the Dowsing Machine to the northeast near the trees for a hidden Full Restore. East of that is another Pokémon Ranger.

She will also give you a Pecha Berry. Go all the way east for an Ultra Ball. Before you can enter the gate leading to the Tubeline Bridge, Bianca will stop you for a battle.

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

After defeating her, Bianca will give you a Full Restore and encourages you to defeat Team Plasma. She will then leave. Before heading into the gate, head into the opening in the trees to enter the Moor of Icirrus.

## Moor of Icirrus

This is a good place to visit when it's not winter. Head east then south to battle a Fisherman.

North of him between some trees is a Max Revive. On the west side of the trees is a hidden Nugget. On the far east side is a Pokémon Ranger.

She will give you a Sitrus Berry. Head back north of the entrance and push the boulder west into the hole. On the west side of the lake is an Ultra Ball. South of the lake is a Carbos and another Parasol Lady.

Go back to the entrance and head northeast to battle a Pokémon Ranger.

He will also give a Sitrus Berry. Northeast of him is a Max Elixir. Southeast of him above the ledge is a hidden Big Mushroom. Head west of him around the trees and east of the lake to grab a Max Potion. West of the lake, use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Revive near the northwest wall. Now head back out and enter the gate and onto the Tubeline Bridge.

## Tubeline Bridge

In the center of the bridge you'll find a Battle Girl jogging. After catching her to talk, she'll give you TM43 (Flame Charge). Head to the far end of the bridge and you'll meet up with Ghetsis and the Shadow Triad. He congratulates you for obtaining the Light Stone**B**/Dark Stone**W**. He will lecture about Team Plasma's plans and N's uprising as the king. After the conversation, he and the Shadow Triad will depart.

If you re-enter the bridge on Friday nights, after meeting Ghetsis, a gang of Bikers calling themselves the "Black Empoleon" has taken over the bridge. After entering, one of the members sees you and battles you if you say no.

He will then challenge you to defeat their leader. He's on the right side of the bridge.

He becomes impressed by you defeating him that he will rename his gang replacing "Empoleon" to that of your current lead Pokémon.

## Route 9

As you head east through the gate to Route 9, an Infielder will throw TM56 (Fling) to you. Directly east is a Biker.

Northeast of him is a Roughneck.

Head east to battle a Biker and a Roughneck, together called Hooligans, in a Double Battle.

East of them is another Biker.

Check the ground next to him with the Dowsing Machine for a hidden Lemonade. North of him is Shopping Mall Nine, the Unova region's department store.

### Shopping Mall Nine

This department store has three floors. There's stairs to get to each level instead of elevators like previous department stores. The prices for all the items sold here are as follows:

* Bottom section
* Middle section
* Top section
* Vending machine

* Left Cashier
* Right Cashier

* Left Cashier
* Right Cashier

Also, unlike other department stores, this one has Trainers inside you can battle. On the bottom section is a Waitress.

In the middle-right section is a Rich Boy.

And in the top section you can find a Waiter and a Lady.

In the bottom right corner of the mall, enter the door. In the northeast corner of the room is a PP Up. On the top floor, talk to the man in the middle and he'll give you a ThunderStone. Head back outside. There's a few more vending machines outside, but they have the same price as the ones in the mall, so they're a bit redundant. Next to them is another Roughneck.

Go into the grass below him and go west next to the fence on the bottom side. You'll find an HP Up nearby. South of there is a cave that is currently being blocked by a Black Belt. You'll have to wait until after you've beaten the game to go inside. Southwest of the stairs leading down to the cave is a Full Restore. In the top left corner near the fence, use the Dowsing Machine for a hidden Max Ether. Now head east through the gate, and you'll arrive in Opelucid City.
