Appendix:HeartGold and SoulSilver walkthrough/Section 2: Difference between revisions

{{rt|31|Johto}} is a small route that serves to connect {{rt|30|Johto}} in the south and Violet in the west.  The western entrance to [[Dark Cave]] is located here, but you won't be able to get very far yet, though you can catch a {{p|Geodude}} from there and raise it to learn {{m|Rock Throw}} if you wish to use it for the upcoming Gym Match. Pick up the [[Potion]] near the cave and continue west.  You can pick a black Apricorn off the tree by the pond, and grab a Poké Ball south of the nearby ledge.

When you leave the Gym, {{prof|Elm}} calls you, asking you to speak to his aide.  Unlike in Generation II, his aide is waiting at the Poké Mart, not the Poké Center.  He asks you to take care of the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Mystery Egg}}; sometime later, it will hatch into a {{p|Togepi}} who knows {{m|Extrasensory}}, then evolve into {{p|Togetic}} who has a pretty good movepool, and finally {{p|Togekiss}} who knows {{m|Aura Sphere}} and {{m|Sky Attack}}. Once the egg hatches Professor Elm will contact you and wishes to see the Pokémon that hatched from it. If you talk to him with Togepi as your [[Walking Pokémon]] he'll give you a free {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Everstone}}. When you step outside the Mart, you will encounter one of the five [[Kimono Girls]], five sisters who study at Ecruteak City's Dance Theater.  She takes note of your character, and leaves to the south. Pick the yellow Apricorn nearby, and leave west from the city to reach part of {{rt|36|Johto}}.
