Now that you can use {{m|Strength}}, you can pick up a few items that were not accessible before. There is also a trainer here that fights using a {{p|Riolu}}, the only time you will see one unless you hatch the egg given to you.

Before going to [[Iron Island]], make sure your that [[party]] only contains five Pokémon since you'll receive a [[Pokémon Egg]] toward the end of the maze. Use the [[Dowsing Machine]] on your [[Pokétch]] to find a hidden [[Star Piece]] that you can exchange at [[Fuego Ironworks]] for colored [[shard]]s. Interior [[Star Piece]]s will regenerate each day.

At the entrance to the mine you'll meet a man named [[Riley]], who will give you {{HM|04|Strength}}. He mentions he is training inside and proposes you join him. While receiving the HM is the only required part of your mission here, you'll find some good items, get valuable training, and {{p|Riolu|an extremely rare Pokémon}} if you explore the whole mine.

Be aware that the toughest Pokémon you'll face here is Level 41. The layout of the [[Canalave Gym]] is a maze consisting of multiple elevator platforms. As you may already know, it specializes in {{type|Steel}}s. You'll want {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, and/or {{t|Fighting}}-type attacks on your Pokémon. Many of the Pokémon in this gym are part Ground or {{t|Rock}}, so {{type|Water}} attacks (such as {{m|Surf}}) are also useful. Steel-types [[Damage modification#Not very effective|resist]] attacks of almost every other type, and are completely immune to {{type|Poison}} moves. Also, most of the Pokémon in this Gym have high [[Defense]], so [[Special Attack|Special]] moves will do the most damage to them.
To deal with the maze, first head to the easternmost elevator out of the set of four you'll find on 1F. Then, take the elevator south of you on 2F to reach the southeast area of 1F. The next one will take you back up to 2F. Then, use the moving lift hooked up to a wire to get across the ledge. Take the regular elevator there to reach 3F, where you will find more moving lifts to take you across the wires. First, use the moving lift north of you to reach the north area of 3F with two moving lifts side-by side. Take the northern lift and then keep following the path that will take you back down to 2F. Another elevator will take you to the northern area of the 1F. There, an elevator with a red outline will take you up to 4F where [[Byron]], the Gym Leader and the father of [[Oreburgh City]] Gym Leader [[Roark]] is.

Byron starts by sending out {{p|Magneton}}, whose weak Sp. Defense makes it vulnerable to moves like {{m|Fire Blast}}. Also, a {{type|Ground}} move like {{m|Earthquake}} could easily take it out in one hit due to its Steel/{{t|Electric}} typing. Beware of {{m|Flash Cannon}} if your Earthquake user is part {{type|Rock}}. {{m|Metal Sound}} will harshly lower your Pokémon's Special Defense, causing {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Tri Attack}}, and Flash Cannon to do even more damage, so be careful. It's best to use Special attacks on Byron's {{p|Steelix}} because of its high Defense stat. It will dispose of Fire-types with Earthquake unless you have a Fire-type strong and fast enough to take it out in one hit. Ground Pokémon, on the other hand, must watch out for {{m|Ice Fang}}. Don't worry too much about Steelix's Flash Cannon, as its Special Attack isn't the best. The last Pokémon you'll face is {{p|Bastiodon}}, which is high-leveled but can easily be defeated by a powerful Fighting- or Ground-type attack due to it's type combo of Rock/Steel. Be sure to take it out in one hit (which isn't too hard), or your Pokémon will be on the receiving end of {{m|Metal Burst}}, which does 1.5 times the damage your previous attack did to Bastiodon. {{m|Stone Edge}} poses a threat to Fire-types, and {{m|Iron Defense}} will sharply raise Bastiodon's already high Defense stat. {{m|Taunt}} will only allow your Pokémon to use attacking moves, which shouldn't be much of a concern. Get Bastiodon out of your way as quickly as possible, and you'll have saved your team some pain and earned yourself the {{badge|Mine}} without too much trouble!
Once you defeat Byron, he will give you the Mine Badge, which causes all traded Pokémon up to Level 70 obey you without question and allows for {{m|Strength}} to be used outside of battle. He'll also give you {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, a Steel-type Special attack that occasionally lowers the enemy's Special Defense stat.
When you step out the door, your rival {{ga|Barry}} will be there waiting for you. After congratulating you on getting the Mine Badge, he asks you to come with him to the Canalave Library. You can meet them there, but he will stop you if you haven't been to Iron Island to pick up {{HM|04|Strength}}.

When you return, head to Canalave Library where your rival is still waiting. Speak to him there, then head in the building and go up to the 3F. It turns out that [[Professor Rowan]] is there with his assistant {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and wanted you to be part of this conversation. Rowan explains that during his exploration of Pokémon evolution, he learned of the [[Lake guardians]] that might shed some light on the mystery of evolution he is trying to solve. He is therefore going to investigate the lakes where these three guardians live, and while he is going with his assistant to [[Lake Verity]], you will go to [[Lake Valor]], and Barry is going to [[Lake Acuity]]. Just then a tremor goes off, and you'll learn there was an explosion at Lake Valor, and so the group then separates to head to each of their destinations. You can go to yours immediately, but some extra training at [[Iron Island]], as your rival suggests, may be helpful. Additionally, since you now have six badges and can use {{m|Strength}}, you can backtrack for items you couldn't get before in places such as the basement at [[Oreburgh Gate]].
