This time around, you do not have to worry about getting lost. Follow the path until you find the [[Griseous Orb]]. The Griseous Orb, when held by Giratina, will allow it to maintain its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Giratina|Origin Forme}} outside of the Distortion World.
 
When finished in the Distortion World, use the portal to return to Turnback Cave. Any doorway from the portal room will take you back to the entrance room.
 
==Victory Road==
''You will need the HMs {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Rock Climb}}, {{m|Strength}}, and {{m|Defog}}.''
A good diverse team for this area is recommended as the Trainers use a lot of different [[type]]s.


===1F===
===1F===
Fly to the Pokémon League's upper half and enter Victory Road from there. Then with {{m|Rock Climb}} descend down and head for the nearby stairs you saw earlier. Now that the [[Elite Four]] has been handled then the door in the eastern side of this area is no longer blocked off. Besides needing Rock Climb, {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Waterfall}} to reach here, you will also need {{m|Strength}} and {{m|Defog}} to progress through successfully. You will need a good diverse team for this area as the trainers use different types which can be troublesome unless if you are prepared.
{{m|Fly}} to the {{si|Pokémon League}}'s upper half and, after descending the waterfall, enter {{si|Victory Road}} from there. Use Rock Climb to go down and head for the nearby stairs you saw earlier. Now that you are Champion and have the National Pokédex, the door in the eastern side of this area is no longer blocked off.

When you arrive use Defog to remove the fog and you'll meet a girl named Marley who will tag along with you as a tag battle partner.
When you arrive, clear the fog. You'll quickly encounter a girl named [[Marley]] who would like an escort through the tunnel. Just like the other [[Stat Trainers|Multi Battle partners]], she'll completely heal your team after each battle.

As your tag battle partner heals your team after each battle it is a good idea to find all the trainers in the cave while Marley is with you and engage them in Double Battles to make it easier. However this area is a maze and as long as Marley is with you, you cannot use Surf as a means of creating a shortcut to make it easier. From where you meet up use Strength on the nearby boulder and go up. Continue traveling north and carefully moving boulders out of the way while defeating trainers. The items in the northwestern part of the room require two separate trips due to the puzzle of moving the boulder to get to those items.
This area is a maze and as long as Marley is with you, you cannot use Surf as a means of creating a shortcut. From where you first met her, use Strength on the nearby boulder and go north. Continue traveling north, carefully moving boulders out of the way, while defeating Trainers. Getting both items in the northwestern part of the room requires two separate trips due to a boulder puzzle.


Now travel east and continue moving boulders and facing trainers in Double Battles. Once you reach the end of the path travel south and follow th path east and once you get past two more trainers, you find the exit and Marley will leave you. Next use Surf to get to the items that were inaccessible before. Also the two trainers, Ace Trainer Arthur and Ace Trainer Clarence which you can only access after Marley has left are located in the southeastern area of the room. Unless if you have a well diverse team to deal with their Pokémon then do not engage them. Now follow the path to the exit to reach {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}.
Now, travel east and continue moving boulders. Once you reach the end of the path, travel south and follow the path east. Once you get past two more Trainers, you'll find the exit and Marley will leave you. Before leaving, Surf around to pick up the items that were inaccessible before. Also, [[Ace Trainer]]s Arthur and Clarice are located in the southeastern area of the room and can only be accessed after Marley has left. When ready, follow the path to the exit to enter {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}.

If you need to return to the Pokémon League at any time to heal your team, the good news is that you won't need Strength to be able to navigate through that part of Victory Road again as Surf alone will make it easy to come and go from Route 224.
If you need to return to the Pokémon League at any time to heal your team, the good news is that you won't need Strength to navigate through Victory Road B1F again, as Surf alone will make it easy to come and go from Route 224.
 
The trainers on this route much like the ones you just dealt with on Victory Road are diverse and can be tricky unless if you are prepared. There are also some maze based areas around this route that require a little navigation. You will need Surf to deal with getting to the berry patch found on this route and for collecting some of the items. Other than that, this should be a straightforward route.
 
==Snowpoint City==
Fly to Snowpoint City and talk to the sailor to board the ship to the [[Battle Zone]]. You can also visit the Snowpoint Temple if you want but we'll save that for later.
 
Before you go [[Cynthia]] will appear and give you a pep talk about how people must work together to help change the world so no one ends up like [[Cyrus]] and that she wants you to go the Battle Zone to learn and grow. Now you will automatically head to the first area of the Battle Zone, the [[Fight Area]].

When you arrive {{ga|Barry}} will be there and drag you to the front of the Battle Frontier. It turns out that {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] are preventing him from entering, believing he may not be strong enough. Once you accept Barry's offer for a tag battle, the two of you will automatically engage the two in a double battle. You can still reject the offer if you need to prepare your team.

Do not underestimate Flint and Volkner's team as they can be deadly if you get careless. They have {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Luxray}}, the two [[Eeveelution]]s {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Jolteon}}, and their star Pokémon {{p|Magmortar}} and {{p|Electivire}}. A {{t|Rock}}/{{t|Ground}} combo like {{p|Golem}} can help but their team can cover their weaknesses, so a good diversity including these two types and the {{t|Water}} or {{type|Grass}}. As long as you carefully plan out your team and also work together with Barry's team then you'll be fine if you are at the right levels.
 
After the two leave, you'll meet Barry's father [[Palmer]], one of the Frontier Brains who is the Tower Tycoon. He'll explain how each facility has it's own rules before leaving. Barry explains that his father is the reason he decided to become a trainer before leaving to train. You'll then meet a boy named [[Buck]] who was impressed with watching your battle and mentions he usually trains at the [[Survival Area]] or [[Stark Mountain]] before leaving. Go near the north exit to talk to a fisherman to get the Super Rod which is the best fishing rod in the game and will help you with catching some of non-regional Water-type Pokémon.


Now use that nearby exit to reach {{rt|225|Sinnoh}}. Also at this point thanks to your trip to the Battle Zone and Fullmoon Island you can now explore the Underground at any of its areas as long as you enter from the right area. Additionally you can now collect the fossils for the Generation I and Generation III fossil Pokémon. Like the Generation IV fossils they need to be taken to the [[Oreburgh Museum]] in [[Oreburgh City]] to revive them.
The Trainers on this route, much like the ones you just dealt with in Victory Road, have diverse teams and can be tricky to defeat unless you are prepared. There are also some maze-like areas around this route that require a little navigation. You will need Surf to access the [[Berry]] patch on this route and to collect some of the items. Other than that, this should be a straightforward route.


Once you're finished here, Fly to [[Snowpoint City]].
