When you enter the Dept. Store, there is a lady to the left of the entrance who will give you a mask to be put in the Fashion Case. The mask will match the starter Pokémon of Rowan's assistant. The people at the reception counter sell items commonly found in Poké Marts.
After exploring Veilstone City, it's time for you to challenge the Gym for your fourth Badge. The Veilstone Gym Leader specializes in the fighting type. The Gym is a maze consisted of many punching bags that must be pushed by you to smash barriers and open up new paths. Along the way, you will fight four Trainers, mostly using Machop and Machoke. Your Pokémon should probably be in the lower or mid level 30's. After battling all of the Trainers it's time to battle Gym LeaderMaylene.
Maylene is not too terribly tough, but her Lucario may be a bit of a problem. She'll lead with her Meditite which can use Fake Out to force you to flinch and do some damage. Send an HM Pokémon out for the first turn, or a Pokémon that can absorb the hit. It can also use Drain Punch to suck your health out, as well as Rock Tomb to counter Flying Types and Confusion. Her Machoke is more offensive and has Strength to hit for strong Normal-type Damage, as well as Maylene's signature move, Drain Punch. It also can use Focus Energy to increase it's chances of a critical hit. Last up is Lucario, Maylene's star Pokémon. It has a variety of attacks, but nothing too rough. Drain Punch will be it's strongest attack, healing itself up by 25% of the damage done. Force Palm also has 60 power, but instead has a 30% chance of paralysis. Metal Claw has a 10% chance of increasing Lucario's attack. Hope it doesn't, otherwise the fight will be harder. Bone Rush is the surprise here; it has 25 power and hits for 2 to 5 times each, so it's recommended either Fighting or Ground type Pokémon take Lucario out. Also, Maylene will use Hyper Potions when her Pokémon get weak, so be wary when getting them in the red zone HP-wise.
Team Galactic Tag Battle
After you defeat Maylene and earn the Cobble Badge, Prof. Rowan's assistant comes up to you and tells you that their Pokédex has been stolen. Upon hearing this, you and the assistant run to the Galactic Warehouse to find none other than two Team Galactic Grunts. The two challenge you and the assistant to a tag battle.
Upon defeat, the grunts give back the Pokédex and flee. Your partner then says goodbye too. Then, as you are about to leave, who else to up but Looker! He congratulates you on your win then enters the warehouse. Inside he finds that the door is locked. Although he does find HM02 (Fly) and gives it to you. Now that you've completed that task, it's time to head to Route 214.
Route 214
Route 214
Aside from the Trainers, this is a pretty straightforward route. The Maniac Tunnel is also located here.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Still on the way to Pastoria City, you arrive at Valor Lakefront. You can't access Lake Valor just yet... so why not go to the Seven Stars Restaurant? There, you will partake in Double Battles. If you find your Pokémon are getting weak, go over to the hotel and heal your Pokémon. You will also find a lady who lost her suite key and asks you for your help. Use your Pokétch to find it and continue on your way.
