On the Road to the 5th Badge

The walkthrough from the fourth Badge to the fifth Badge at the Hearthome City Gym!

Heading to the fifth Gym: on to Hearthome City!

You now have the Fen Badge! Keep exploring the city: in the small house slightly to the southeast you will find the Move Tutor, who can teach moves to your Pokémon in exchange for a Heart Scale.

In the house to the left of the Poké Mart, a woman will give you a Passho Berry (go back every day to collect more Berries).

In front of the entrance to the Pastoria Great Marsh, interact with the Grunt. No battle is triggered, but he runs off to the east towards the lake. Follow him. After you talk to him, your friend/rival will come to challenge you to a battle!

Go back through Route 213 and talk to him several times until he offers you a Pokémon battle. Then meet up with Cynthia to get the Secret Medicine, which can cure the Psyduck on Route 210, and give it to them.

Once they are cured, Cynthia thanks you and gives you a task: delivering an Old Charm to her grandmother in Celestic Town.

Reaching Celestic Town

Heading north, you will find a Hyper Potion and a Super Repel in the tall grass, but beware of the Ninja Boys hiding there… Shrouded in mist, use a Repel if you don’t want to be attacked by wild Pokémon too often.

Here is the route to take:

Head northwest, take one staircase, then a second. Cross the bridge on your left, then the one to the south. Next, take the staircase down, follow the northwest, cross another bridge, then keep going west to reach Celestic Town!

Talk to the grandmother and meet the Grunt to the north, defeat him and enter the ruins. After that, you hand the Old Charm over to Cynthia’s grandmother, who will thank you. Inside the ruins there are only mysterious patterns on the wall at the back. Examine the wall to obtain TM95, which contains the Hidden Move Surf! You will be able to use it on bodies of water once you have obtained the Hearthome City Badge. As you leave, Cyrus makes a brief appearance.

Hearthome City and Gym Leader Fantina

It’s time to head to Hearthome City. Retrace your steps back to the city. You are now inside the Gym. To reach Fantina without any battles, simply answer all the questions correctly. The correct answers are:

1 : right door (15)
2 : middle door (40)
3 : left door (39)
4 : right door (15)

That’s it, you can now challenge Fantina. Once that is done, you obtain the Relic Badge ! The Gym Leader gives you TM65 Shadow Claw as well as the seals she uses.
