Appendix:Gold and Silver walkthrough/Section 4: Difference between revisions

The Berry tree at the route's northern end holds a {{DL|Berry|Generation II 2|PRZCureBerry}}.  Trainers on their way to Azalea Town may be interested in exploring the [[Ruins of Alph]] to the west, but without {{HM|03|Surf}} and {{HM|04|Strength}}, only the first room is accessible.

Since you can't surf to across the southern pond yet, the only cave you can reach is in the north.  Read the hint to the right of the puzzle picture to find out what Pokémon it is, and move the pieces into place.  When you complete the puzzle, the floor beneath you will give way, dropping you into the main underground ruins.  With the first puzzle complete, you can now find {{p|Unown}} in the form of the first eleven letters of the alphabet, A through K.  If you catch at least three different forms, one of the scientists investigating the ruins will be waiting for you near the exit.  He'll take you to the research building and upgrade your Pokédex so that it can record the various forms of the Unown.

Talk to the first guy you see and you'll get a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Miracle Seed}}, a held item that enhances {{t|Grass}}-type moves, as a souvenir for defeating the Violet Gym.  Not far from him is another man that will give you {{TM|05|Roar}}, but you cannot reach him until you can {{m|Cut|hack}} your way through the trees.  There's a Potion sitting in the tall grass by Picnicker Liz.  Near the center of the route the path opens to a small inlet, forcing Trainers to either follow the western shoreline, or take the pier over the water.  Whichever way you go, don't pass up the Great Ball on the shore!

Return to the Poké Center on a Friday, and Freida, one of the Weekday Siblings, will be waiting behind the building.  She will give you a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Poison Barb}}, which enhances {{t|Poison}}-type moves when held by a Pokémon.

Head west from the entrance to find a Potion and a Trainer.  Battle the next two Trainers, and pick up the Great Ball south of the Firebreather.  Grab the X Attack, and continue south.  If you take the stairs down past the PokéManiac, you can find an X Defend and {{TM|39|Swift}}.  There is an Awakening just before the exit, and another Firebreather loitering around. <br> Stepping out of the cave puts you on {{rt|33}}.

Return to Union Cave once you can {{m|surf}}, and have a better rod.  You'll be able to find Pokémon like {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Quagsire}}, and {{p|Corsola}}. <br> On the bottom floor, you'll also have the chance to catch a wild {{p|Lapras}} every Friday.

== Route 33 ==

[[Image:Route 33.png|thumb|left|Route 33]]

{{rt|33}} is extremely short, and connects Union Cave to [[Azalea Town]] in the west.  Pick the {{DL|Berry|Generation II 2|PSNCureBerry}} from the tree, and battle the Hiker nearby.  Head into [[Azalea Town|town]].

== Azalea Town ==

Something's going on in {{to|Azalea}}, and the [[Team Rocket|Rocket]] grunt hanging around near the [[Slowpoke Well]] can't be up to anything good.  Stop by [[Kurt|the Apricorn craftsman]]'s house north of the Gym, and he'll rush off to save the {{p|Slowpoke}} being held in the well.

* BLK Apricorn = Heavy Ball; handy for catching heavier Pokémon like {{p|Snorlax}}

Now let's go get that second badge!

With the Slowpoke safe, you are free to challenge your second Gym.  The [[Azalea Gym]] is crawling with {{t|Bug}}-types, so if you chose {{p|Cyndaquil}} as your starter, you'll be in great shape.  Other Trainers will have to rely on their {{t|Flying}}-types, like Pidgey and Hoothoot, to get the job done.  {{t|Rock}}-types are also good here, so Geodude or Onix are great to use against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, since they are partially resistant to its {{m|Fury Cutter}} attack.
