I'd say it was likely me who done goofed up, haha... When I was finishing up that part of the guide, my computer crashed, but I had already saved past Aya.. I had to do her team/movesets from memory... So I probably just remembered incorrectly...

Thanks so much! Unfortunately, I haven't found a miracle seed, but you could always try mining for a meadow plate! You, sir, are my hero. Yeah, I've been aware of this, but I was an idiot and I screwed up the weather for my game. I can't get the event to happen because I can't have a sunny day for awhile. Trust me, I'll be on it asap!

hahaha wow all that intel XD Yeah I feel like a lot of people avoid the place...

Thanks! I'm working on those events for the next section of the guide so soul-crushingly true.

Alright, so go ahead and head back to the city. The gate to Byxbysion is located in South Obsidia. You'll have to battle Cain before he'll let you through. Pretty Boy Cain Venomothlevel 40 / psybeam, sleep powder, giga drain, signal beam Haunter level 41 / mean look, hypnosis, dream eater, shadow ball Muklevel 41 / mud bomb, sludge bomb, minimize, disable Samurott level 42 / fury cutter, razor shell, revenge, night slash Nidokinglevel 43 / poison tail, thrash, shadow ball, double kick After you beat him, he'll let you through. If you head a bit more north of the gate, you'll run into Cal. He'll tell you that he never meant to betray Victoria. He had rigged the PULSE machine so it wouldn't have gone off anyways. He plans to "make himself scarce," in other words, he runs away. But anyways, you'll want to enter the wasteland. The Byxbysion Wasteland Ah, the byxbyiusdufon Wasteland. The [unpronounceable] name, the legend. This place is some kind of hell. Basically an enormous dumping ground for random crap, there's a bunch of junk lying around to be explored. Throughout the area you can find: Morning: Day: Night: Headbuttable Trees: Rock Smash: There are also countless event pokemon throughout the area. Venipede will jump out of trees. There's a Squirtle event here while it's raining. Nickaboo made a fantastic guide to it (he'll say it's a mudkip, but the two were swapped as of E15). Squirtle level 5 / tackle, tail whip Also, in Mudkip's lair, you can insert an odd keystone to the rock formation in the back and find a spiritomb. Spiritomblevel 30 / feint attack, hypnosis, dream eater, ominous wind Available in these tunnels are: and IMPORTANT ITEMS: So, anyways, the gym is here. Thankfully, it has both a pc and healing unit, serving as the pokemon center of the wasteland. Here you can find Cain's "family." His mother will greet you at the door and tell you that Aya is battling in the back. Go there (left). When you enter, you'll find a very frustrated Aya and a very smug Fern [ugh]. He'll call Aya a "noob" [ugh] even though she beat him the first time around... He'll verbally bash the two of you awhile [ugh] before another person enters. He'll introduce himself as Hardy, saying he just wanted to the gym leader community. He'll call Fern sour, and this will happen: Anyways, it's revealed that Hardy and Fern were in the same graduating class of the Onyx Academy. What luck. Also, their sisters were friends. Florinia and... who? Titania? Amaria? Julia? It's not quite clear, but I'm guessing it wasn't the latter, as Hardy alluded to the relationship being something of the past. Aya leaves to heal her pokemon and Fern decides to battle you [ugh]. This'll be on a wasteland field. Swag Jockey Fern Ferrothornlevel 42 / power whip(+), pin missile, curse, gyro ball Krokorok level 41 / crunch, thunder fang, fire fang, dig Scytherlevel 41 / x-scissor, double team, slash, wing attack Roserade level 43 / hidden power [fire], extrasensory, giga drain, sleep powder Serperior level 44 / leech seed, glare, giga drain, iron tail Ugh. Because you really needed another battle before this gym. *sighs dramatically* Hardy agrees that seeing Fern get beaten is totally worth it. Aya will return and you can now battle her at any time. Unfortunately, Fern will be watching (along with the waste [as if there's a difference]) Gym 5: Aya (yeah, I realize this is the second gym five... this is for organizational purposes, as it should correspond to the badges you have on you currently) You'll be participating in a double battle on a wasteland field. So this battle is actually pretty rough. Aya implements her field really well, especially with entry hazards early on. I'd try to knock out her first two leads ASAP because their moves can deal a lot of damage. The biggest threat I'd say would be her Dragalge, with an all-around powerful, sweeping moveset. Just grind for her in the wasteland. Wasteland Punk Aya Tentacruellevel 40 / toxic spikes(+), icy wind, muddy water, ? Nidoqueenlevel 40 / spikes(+), stealth rock(+), sludge wave(+), iron tail Venusaur level 40 / secret power, nature power [sludge wave], leech seed, power whip(+) Gengarlevel 41 / shadow ball, focus blast, sludge bomb(+), confuse ray Drapion level 41 / night slash, slash, confuse ray, aqua tail Dragalgelevel 44 / hydro pump, shadow ball, dragon pulse, sludge wave(+) After you beat her, you'll get the Venom Badge, so pokemon up to level 50 will obey you, and you can use strength outside of battle. She'll also give you TM Sludge Wave.

Ahh, that's a good idea, thanks! Thanks for the correction!

Yeah, I agree. I'm probably going to have to look up a lot of it, so wish me luck! aight, I'll go change that so here's my problem: I don't have an itemfinder. Now there are tons and tons of items here, and I won't be able to find them all. What kind of items do you think should qualify to be included in the guide? And if anyone knows where said items could be, would you mind cluing me into that? I don't really remember where/when I'm supposed to get the itemfinder, so for now I'm a bit stuck.

Thanks, I'm honestly not looking forward to the wasteland... It's a cool place, but it's also very vexing for me. I'll be using a lot of guides to get through this one.

Alright, yeah, unfortunately the team I am using right now (infernape, pidgeot, manectric) in the walkthrough doesn't have the capability of beating that monster... I might need some help on the Ghastly event. I'll probably add in the shiny stone. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll put that in there for now!

Thanks guys! Sorry for how inactive I've been lately. Driver's ed is officially over for me, though, so I should have more time during the week to work on my posts!

After you leave, Victoria will tell you that Kiki just needs to rest alone. She says that she'll be sure to get your badge and HM from her. But, she then poses a very good question: Where is Cain? He said he was heading off to challenge Kiki pronto, and you even saw him leave on his grimer... So what happened? Victoria suggests the one place between the two land masses: Azurine Island. She suggests you stop there and see if you can find Cain. Head back to Amaria's boat and you'll now have the option to go to Azurine Island. Go there. Azurine Island There's a lot of grass on Azurine. Here you can catch: Morning: Day: Night: Headbuttable Trees: Fishing there you can catch: Old Rod: Good Rod*: *currently unobtainable Over here you can find TM88 Sleep Talk. ...Anyways, go ahead and make your way through the labyrinth of an island. You'll have to walk over lily pads(?) to get through the swamp. Be wary of pokeballs on the ground as many of them are foongus (ugh). You can find Cain's earring in the water here, so it's clear he is on this island somewhere. You can find a shiny stone on a rock, this is pretty much the only place in the game you can find one. You should eventually come to this house. This is where all the action happens. Upon entry, you'll find the ever-so-recurrent Meteor Grunts Aster and Eclipse. They'll tell you that they have captured Cain upon their boss's orders. They'll realize that you're outnumbered (for once) and commence battle. Team Meteor Grunts Aster and Eclipse Lunatone level 37 / hypnosis, psywave, rock slide, cosmic power Solrocklevel 37 / fire spin, cosmic power, psywave, rock slide Rhydon level 38 / iron tail, bulldoze, chip away, rock blast Miloticlevel 38 / hydro pump, twister, confuse ray, recover Magmar​ level 41 / fire punch, mach punch, confuse ray, feint attack Electabuzz level 41 / cross chop, thunder wave, light screen, thunderpunch After you beat them, they'll mention that he's hidden away somewhere, and leave. Check here to reveal a hidden door. Head through. When you enter, you'll see a small hallway leading to a machine on your immediate right. Check that machine, called a recovery unit, to heal your pokemon. Heading north, you'll find some Meteor Grunts congregated around Taka. There'll also be two cells, one holding Cain and the other holding a Camerupt. Taka will say that "Camerupt is ready" (for what?) before he notices you. Cain will as well and ask you to save him. More importantly, he'll tell you that Team Meteor is planning to attack Apophyll! They plan to PULSE a camerupt atop Pyrous Mountain. Using Eruption, they hope to succeed in wiping the island off the face of Reborn. It turns out, that Taka was also ordered to capture you. You'll battle on a factory field, which as you've probably deduced by now, is associated with a short-circuit field. Meteor Admin Taka Klefkilevel 42 / spikes, mirror shot, draining kiss, foul play Cradily level 42 / confuse ray, ancientpower, giga drain, recover Floatzel level 43 / bulk up, pursuit, aqua tail, aqua jet Chatot level 45 / nasty plot, chatter, heat wave, ? After you finish him off, Team Meteor will retreat back to Apophyll with the Camerupt. You'll release Cain from his cell. He'll tell you that he's going to head over to try to stop them. Join him. NOTE: After you've finished with the Meteor plot on the island, you can return to the house they used. There should be a hiker there that'll be willing to trade you his Chikorita for a Chimecho. The only way to get a Chimecho at this point in the game is by training up a Chingling, available beneath the Grand Staircase. Chikorita Anyways, when you make it back to Apophyll, go to Academy. Victoria'll be waiting for you. She'll tell you that Cain has already informed them on the situation, and she asks you to come inside and talk to Kiki. Go to the back room. Kiki is even more feeble than before. She'll expalin to you that she believes that Meteor's motives are greater than just the destruction of Apophyll... She points out that the eruption of the volcano will not only consume Apophyll, but Reborn City as well. She percieves a balance between the city and Apophyll: a respective dichotomy of technology and the lack thereof. If the balance is broken, the power is shifted to Team Meteor's favor. In other words, they need to be stopped. She tells you to hurry and aid Cal in Meteor's termination. You team up with Cain, while Victoria hangs back to take care of Kiki. Head to Pyrous Mountain. There'll be a thoroughly satisfying scene of Cain's Nidoking pushing a Meteor Grunt down a ledge. When you enter the mountain, Victoria will catch up to you. She'll tell you that Kiki forced her to leave. It looks like you'll be teaming up with her instead of Cain. Make your way up the mountain, battling Meteor Grunts along the path. You won't have to worry about the lava plugs this time. When you reach the summit, Victoria will note how quiet it is. She'll then start asking you questions about Cal (ugh). By the lava you'll find Cain, Solaris, Taka, and Cal congregated. Cal will tell Victoria that he was already defeated. Victoria will stand up and say that she won't let anyone hurt Cal or anyone else in Apophyll. Cain will point out that you don't have much time. Solaris orders Taka, who is apparently his son, to battle Victoria. Solaris will "deal" with you. Meteor Leader Solaris Garchomplevel 75 / stone edge, earthquake, dragon rush, fire fang ..So yeah, this is kind of a battle you're supposed to lose. If you happen to win, it'll affect an event later on in the game, however the current plot won't change. Afterwards, Kiki will appear, apparently having climbed the entire mountain all on her own. She tells you to stand back, and that she will take care of this. She send out her Medicham tries to have it destroy the PULSE machine. Cal will interfere. Apologizing to Victoria, Cal will order his Magmortar to throw the Medicham into the lava. Solaris has his Garchomp use Dragon Rush... on Kiki. She is far to ill to withstand such a blow. Cal is furious with Solaris, exclaiming that this wasn't part of the plan. She would have died either way, Solaris points out. Cal declares that "he's done" and has his Magmortar destroy the PULSE machine. Solaris retreats. Cal moves toward Victoria, apologizing, but Victoria doesn't want to hear it. She tells Cal to leave. You all leave. You'll meet back in Kiki's old room. Victoria will present you with HM04 Strength (at last!). She'll tell you that you can't take the Fury Badge because it has been invalidated, as Kiki is no longer the leader of the gym. She'll tell you that she'll contact Ame and have the reserve fighting leader notified. Victoria decides the remain in Apophyll, as Kiki chose her as the new leader of the academy. She asks you and Cain to beat the Reborn League for her. Cain says that he'll [FINALLY] go open the gate to Byxbysion for you so you can defeat Aya and save the kids.

Alright, I'll get on this ASAP, though I'm afraid ASAP is probably going to be Sunday...

Ahh haha I thought Foretress was a rock type for some reason, sorry!

You can always check out my walkthrough guide for both regular pokemon and event pokemon locations. *slaps self for shameless self advertisement* You can also catch Pineco in headbuttable trees, which, unlike onix, is available before the first gym.

I'm sorry, I'm too far past that point now to post a picture, but I can tell you that it's in the top left corner where there are two cages stacked on top of each other.

Apophyll Beach Go ahead and take Amaria's boat and you'll find yourself at Apophyll Beach. There's much to explore here; tons of trainers have stationed themselves around the beach. In the sand you can encounter: There are lots of smash-able rocks lying around. You can get items from them, or sometimes encounter wild pokemon. Smashing rocks in the Training Grounds will give you different selection: In the water, you can catch: Old Rod: Good Rod*: *not yet obtainable There's a cavern on the northernmost point of the island. This is a segment of Pyrous Mountain. In there, and in the other parts of the mountain, you can catch: Rock smash will find: There are also some rocks to mine, plus TM41 Torment. When its thunderstorming, you can find a Corsola on the beach. If you feed it pokesnax, it'll join your party. Corsola level 30 / iron defense, brine, lucky chant, spike cannon This girl will offer to trade her Darumaka for a Luvdisc. Darumaka There's also lots to do inside the academy! The Hidden Power Guy is in this room: The girl in this room will ask you to bring her a TV. You can take one from the front north room, however a lady will try to stop you. After you defeat her, she'll realize that the person you're taking the TV to is actually her roommate, and she'll back off. Bring the TV back to the girl, and in return she'll give you Department Store Sticker. The girl on the roof will give you a Meditite. Medititelevel 30 / hidden power, calm mind, mind reader, hi jump kick ..But that's all you can do for now. Go talk to this girl. She'll tell you that Kiki can be found down at the Training Grounds. Go there. You'll find a circle of onlookers surrounding Kiki. Talk to her, and she'll give you a lecture about the important things in life. After the lecture, go up and talk to her again. You'll inquire Strength, and she'll tell you to meet her in the back room of her academy. As you make your way back there, you'll be stopped by Victoria. She also needs to talk to Kiki, and heads towards the back room. It is revealed that she is actually one of the top students of the academy, and Kiki's personal apprentice. So, anyways, continue back to Kiki. It turns out the Victoria needed to talk to Kiki about Strength as well. Victoria introduces you. Kiki says that she can't give strength to anyone but a graduate of the academy, and she's cannot breach this policy. Victoria decides to apply for graduation. Kiki mentions some "condition" of her in passing. So, since Victoria would need a certain badge to use the HM, Kiki looks to you. This means she must test you as well. She challenges you to climb to the top of Pyrous Mountain to challenge one of greatest students. Victoria reacts strangely to this. As you begin to exit the academy, Victoria catches up to you. She wishes you good look, and tells you the name of said great student for you to challenge: Cal, the previous fire-type leader of Reborn, who retired after a certain "incident." I turns out that Victoria has a major crush on him. She bids you farewell. Head to the southern entrance of Pyrous Mountain. This place is a bit of a maze, but you'll just need to empty the lava by using rock smash on cracking columns. You can also encounter Magcargo this way. On the lowest level of the cave, you'll find Torkoal instead. On the lowest floor, you can also find a Heatmor. It'll be drawn to pokesnax and attack you. On the rock next to it will be a fire stone. Heatmor level 40 / fury swipes, snatch, flame burst, bug bite At the top of the mountain will be a Light Shard, and Cal. Go ahead and talk to him. He's decently nice. He'll ask about Shelly, who was apparently an old friend of his. He watched over her, and the connected because they both felt like the shadows of their older brothers, Shelly Bugsy and Cal Blake. However, their friendship was tainted when he had some horrible reaction to something she said. He regrets hurting her. You'll then commence battle. You'll be battling on a superheated field. Ex-Leader Cal Infernapelevel 36 / close combat, mach punch, swords dance, flame wheel(+) Delphoxlevel 36 / psyshock, shadow ball, mystical fire(+), light screen Typhlosion level 36 / flame charge(+), sunny day, solar beam, hidden power [ice] Blaziken level 37 / fire punch(+), double kick, bulk up, blaze kick(+) Charizardlevel 37 / wing attack, fire fang(+), dragon claw, thunderpunch Magmortar level 38 / focus blast, lava plume(+), solar beam, thunderbolt After you beat him, he'll tell you to go let Kiki know that you beat him. He has "things to finish" up there. So, head back to the room in which you left Kiki. It seems that she isn't doing so well, she did say that her condition is worsening... Kiki tells you to face her in an official league match. As you begin to leave, Victoria will stop you. Once again, she'll make you battle her before she allows to proceed. Apprentice Victoria Scraggy level 37 / payback, chip away, brick break, hi jump kick(?) Hariyamalevel 38 / force palm, knock off, smelling salts, belly drum Heracrosslevel 38 / close combat, night slash, aerial ace, take down Gallade level 39 / leaf blade, night slash, psycho cut, ? Emboar level 40 / heat crash, rollout, assurance, arm thrust After you beat her, Victoria will be obviously upset, but leave. You can now finally battle Kiki in the courtyard. Gym 5: Kiki So, as you have already probably guessed, Kiki is the fighting gym leader of reborn. You'll be battling on an ashen beach field. Flying pokemon are a bit difficult as half of her pokemon have counters. A pokemon with Psychic is great for this gym, as the move is boosted in the ashen beach field. Just be wary of her dark-move-wielding pokemon. If you need to grind, I'd use Pyrous Mountain. Sensei Kiki Machamplevel 38 / rock slide, payback, submission, dynamic punch Gallade level 39 / rock slide, zen headbutt(+), strength, night slash Toxicroak level 39 / cross chop, meditate(+), sucker punch, strength Hitmonlee level 40 / fake out, hi jump kick, meditate(+), knock off Lucario level 40 / dark pulse, psychic(+), aura sphere(+), calm mind(+) Medicham level 41 / drain punch, hi jump kick, ice punch, meditate(+) After you defeat her, she'll attempt to give you the badge, but first collapse. Later, you'll find yourself with Kiki and Victoria in the back room. Kiki is really feeling pretty terrible, as her positivity has finally worn off. Victoria can't stand it, and leaves the room. Kiki will tell you to do the same.

Thanks! I actually never knew about this stuff!

Alrighty, thanks guys! Thanks for understanding!!!!!!!! Hm.. I didn't have to talk to her in advance to get my cacnea...

So, head back to the Underground Railnet. Instead of Cain, you'll see Victoria there, pacing back and forth. She'll tell you that Cain filled her in on the situation. It seems that you need strength to pass through, which requires another badge. Apparently the gym leader in Apophyll Academy, just across Azurine Lake, has the HM. However, you can't use it until you have the Venom Badge, from Cain's sister in Byxbysion. Cain left for Apophyll, and it seems that you need to follow him. Go to the Coral Ward, just south of Obsidia. Head to the end of the pier and you'll see Cain standing there, looking out into the ocean. Go up and talk to him. He'll say that he has to go back and save everybody, so he needs the HM from Kiki. The problem is that Kiki lives across Azurine Lake, with a toxicity that will completely demolish any boat that attempts passage. Water types can't even surf on it. He sent out his Muk, and leaves you there, telling you to wait for him. So just head right, and you'll have another cutscene. Amaria will exit one of the warehouses. She'll tell you that she's been scientifically tracing the pollution, and she's found the source. It all comes from the Blacksteam Factory in the West Peridot Ward. She asks you to come with her to help raid the place. Meet her there. Talk to her, and she'll figure out a way into the factory, by having her Lapras create an icy staircase. Head up and enter the factory. So Team Meteor was behind this. No surprise there. You'll enter a double battle with Amaria. After you win, continue through the base. In the next room, you'll find yourself surrounded by Meteors. Amaria seems to have a plan; you'll have to trust her. She creates a path for you... It's up to you now to destroy the factory. You'll be forced right by some grunts. Continue and enter the small room on the far right. The dark haired guy will find you. Suddenly, the ground will cave in below you and you'll be sent down into a dungeon-like cell. There will be a bunch of pokemon in cages. So this is a puzzle for you. You'll need to talk to the different pokemon to use their powers effectively. The 22-step solution is in the spoiler. ***NOTE: If you put Lickitung under the cage with Ditto, Lickitung will give you a rare candy. If you put Makuhita under the cage with Ditto, it can break out Ditto and Ditto will join your team! Ditto 5 / transform So, when you break the bars, you can escape. If you head through the staircase on the left, you can find a Magnet Powder and TM77 Psych Up. But, the correct staircase to head towards is the one on the right. Make your way through the room, battling Meteor Grunts as you go. I'd open the gate to the door on the bottom right, if I were you, so you can go back to Peridot and heal your pokemon if necessary. The door you want is on the far bottom left, but it's blocked by two gates. One you can disengage right away, but you'll need to go straight through the room on the right to get the second one. The computer you need is in the northeast room. Head back to the hallway you wanted. I'd save before you enter. Inside you'll find ZEL, the dark haired guy [since there's so many dark haired characters in Meteor, I'm going to refer to him as "Trenchcoat" from now on], and some grunts and techies. Trenchcoat will tell you to come observe. He'll show you another PULSE machine, this one with a Muk inside. When you're back is turned, he'll use his Garchomp to try to kill you. Amaria will save your sorry ass you with her Kingdra. She'll hop down and join the party. Amaria will question the exact point of this slimy [heh] scheme, and Trenchcoat will reveal that he just wants people to leave the city. Amaria will basically tell him that he's detestable. Suddenly, Trenchcoat will notice the Sapphire Bracelet around her wrist, a gift from "Tania" [hm... what does that name resemble?]. She says she'll defend it with her life. She'll command you to try and deactivate the PULSE while she's busy battling Trenchcoat. You'll be thrown into a battle with ZEL. Be wary of PULSE!Muk; it has protean. You'll be battling on the same fields as you did against Shade, here and here. Meteor Admin ZEL Glaceonlevel 36 / icy wind, ice shard, bite, mirror coat Espeonlevel 36 / psychic, quick attack, future sight, morning sun(?) Umbreon level 36 / confuse ray, quick attack, feint attack, moonlight PULSE!Muklevel 40 / muddy water, discharge(+), mud bomb, sludge wave After you defeat them, they'll finally reveal Trenchcoat's name: Solaris. He'll be furious, have his Tyranitar use superpower on Amaria. Team Meteor will retreat. Amaria will tell you she's okay, "Just a little winded..." The water won't be polluted anymore, but at this point it's probably too late to save the lake. Amaria will loan you her boat so you can cross the lake before she goes home to rest. Exit the Factory and go to the Coral Ward. Go to the one warehouse that you haven't unlocked yet and enter. Go to her boat, and you head for Apophyll.

Okay, thanks so much! And yeah, I already did put the Cacnea details in there, but thanks for thinking of it! Sidenote: sorry I haven't been too active during the weeks; I'm currently taking 5 honors classes, piano lessons, and driver's ed simultaneously, and I usually don't have a free hour until late, when I'm tired and really just need sleep. When driver's ed is over in two weeks, I'll probably be able to start uploading more stuff on weekdays. Thanks for understanding, everybody, your support has been fantastic

Okay, thanks for letting me know!

Alright, thanks again!! Okay, thanks for the help! I'm having trouble unlocking the Carvanha/Houndoor event, what exactly am I supposed to do? I can't access the boss of the opposite team b/c I'm blocked by some grunts near the entrance of the alley, who'll tell me to "beat it, scum"

Thanks so much! I'll check those events out!

I see your point, I'll add that in. Thanks so much, I'm pretty shaky on the movesets, early on in the guide.
