Johto Route 38: Difference between revisions

Route 38 appeared in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Silver}} traveled through the route on their way to Ecruteak City. However, along the way, they were attacked by [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Executive}} [[Ariana]], who was tasked with getting rid of any obstacles in Team Rocket's way. Using his {{TP|Silver|Rhyperior}} and the [[Earth Plate]], Silver managed to escape to Ecruteak to ask help from [[Morty]] in locating the remaining Plates. Crystal was later defeated by Ariana, shortly after which the other Executives, [[Archer]], [[Petrel]], and [[Proton]], also showed up. Following Archer's prediction, {{adv|Arceus}} also showed up on the route, having descended back to [[Pokémon world|this world]] from [[Hall of Origin|its heavenly residence]]. Realizing that Arceus was a [[wild Pokémon]], Crystal attempted to [[Caught Pokémon|capture]] it. After a [[Level Ball]] had failed to have any effect on the Alpha Pokémon, Crystal used a [[Heavy Ball]], which surprisingly managed to contain Arceus for a few seconds before it escaped. When Arceus fled, Crystal gave pursuit, but was soon blasted down from the sky by Arceus.
