===Game Corner===
The building in the southern part of the city with glowing lights on it is the Game Corner. Here, you can collect Coins and then visit the Prize Exchange next door to get valuable items and [[TM]]s. To find the [[Coin Case]], which you need to store the coins in, head in the direction of the Gym. There is a clown in one of the houses nearby who will give you a Coin Case if you get the correct answer in his game of coin toss. Also in the Prize Exchange building is a man who, if you talk to him while having a Pokémon with {{m|Hidden Power}} at the front of your party, will let you know what [[type]] Hidden Power's damage will represent.

After exploring Veilstone City, it's time for you to challenge the Gym for your fourth Badge. Before you enter the Gym, you'll encounter [[Professor Rowan]]'s research assistant {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}. The Veilstone Gym Leader, [[Maylene]], specializes in the {{t|Fighting}} type, and the most powerful Pokémon you'll face is Level 32. Fighting-types are weak to {{t|Psychic}}- and {{t|Flying}}-type attacks, but Maylene's {{p|Lucario}} is also weak to Fighting-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{t|Ground}}-type attacks.
After exploring Veilstone City, it's time for you to challenge the Gym for your fourth Badge. Before you enter the Gym, you'll encounter [[Professor Rowan]]'s research assistant {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}, and both of you will then meet [[Wake]], [[Pastoria Gym]]'s leader, as he leaves the Gym. The Veilstone Gym Leader, [[Maylene]], specializes in {{t|Fighting}}-type Pokémon, which are weak to {{t|Psychic}}- and {{t|Flying}}-type attacks, but Maylene's {{p|Lucario}} is also weak to Fighting-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{t|Ground}}-type attacks. However, many Fighting-type Pokémon can learn {{t|Rock}}-type moves, which cover their weakness against Flying-type Pokémon, so a team with Psychic Pokémon and Ghost Pokémon is ideal here.


The Gym is a maze consisting of many punching bags that you must push to smash barriers made up of tires and open up new paths. Your key goal in this mission is to aim for the punching bag in the upper left area of the Gym to be able to destroy the barrier that will get you to Maylene.
The Gym is a maze consisting of many punching bags that you must push to smash barriers made up of tires in order to open up new paths. Your key goal is to aim for the punching bag in the upper left of the Gym that destroys the barrier that will get you to Maylene.


First follow the path on the right moving punching bags and carefully head to the farthest area of the eastern area that you can reach to move the punching bag to first remove the barrier that separates the next area and then again to destroy the top most barrier from the set of three you need to remove to reach Maylene. Then head into the new area which is the west side of the Gym and head to the northwest corner of the Gym and move the punching bag to remove the lower barrier. Then head to the lower part of this area and move the punching bag near some cracks to remove another barrier around the southwest area of the Gym by positioning it to strike from above in the following directions (↑←↓) and lastly carefully use the punching bag there to destroy the middle barrier. Now you can use the path where those three barriers were to reach the punching bag to remove the barrier covering the area where Marlene is and be able to reach her.
Knock the first punching bag to the right, and head up through the (now vacant) gap between the bottom right boxing ring and the support pillar. Knock the next bag north, make a quick detour into the ring to battle the First Karate Quad, then knock the bag north once more - it should end up just above and to the right of another bag. Knock this bag north, then follow it and head up and around the stack of tires at the northeast corner of the northeast boxing ring. Knock the next bag (that is just north of the northeast ring) twice to the left, then head south between the northeast ring and the benches, stopping to battle the second and third members of the Karate Quad, then head into the western portion of the Gym.
 
Head northwest, fight the fourth and final member of the Karate Quad, then knock the bag next to him south once, and then once east. Next, find the bag directly south of the path between the benches and north of the southwest boxing ring. Knock this bag anticlockwise (up, left, down, then right) all the way back to its original position. This should clear the way to the southwestern-most punching bag, which can now be knocked north once and east. Head up between the benches, and knock the bag above them twice to the east, finally opening up the stairs to allow you to challenge Maylene!

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 {{m|Fake Out}} to force you to flinch and do some damage. It can use Rock Tomb to counter {{type|Flying}} and is resistant to Confusion due to being a {{type|Psychic}}. A quick flying type like {{p|Staravia}} using {{m|Wing Attack}} or {{m|Aerial Ace}} will take it out easily. Her Machoke is more offensive but should not be too difficult to beat though it can also counter Flying types with Rock Tomb. Last up is Lucario, Maylene's star Pokémon. It has a variety of attacks, but nothing too rough. It can counter {{type|Fire}}s with {{m|Bone Rush}} so it's recommended either {{t|Fighting}} or {{type|Ground}} Pokémon take Lucario out as its {{type|Steel}} characteristics make them resistant to Psychic or Flying-type moves and will only take normal damage from them. Be careful of the signature move of her Gym which her Pokémon have, {{m|Drain Punch}}, which can use a portion of the damage inflicted on your Pokémon to heal themselves, so make sure to take them out quick. Also, Maylene will use Hyper Potions when her Pokémon get weak, so be wary when getting them in the red zone HP-wise.
Maylene leads with her Meditite, which can use {{m|Fake Out}} on its first turn in battle to force your Pokémon to flinch and deal some damage. A quick Flying-type like {{p|Staravia}} using {{m|Wing Attack}} or {{m|Aerial Ace}} will take it out before it can use Rock Tomb to counter your {{type|Flying}}-type, but a Ghost-type is ideal as it will take little damage from Meditite's moves. Her Machoke is more offensive but should not be too difficult to beat though it can also counter Flying types with Rock Tomb, a Psychic or Ghost Pokémon will do will here too. Last up is Lucario, Maylene's star Pokémon. It has a variety of attacks, but nothing too rough. It can counter {{type|Fire}}-types with {{m|Bone Rush}}, so see it off with a {{t|Fighting}}-type of your own, or a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon - its {{type|Steel}} characteristics make it more resistant to Psychic- and Flying-type moves and will only take normal damage from them. Be careful of her Gym's signature move {{m|Drain Punch}}, which heals her Pokémon by 50% of the damage dealt with it, so try not to get into a war of attrition. Maylene will use Hyper Potions when her Pokémon get weak, so try to finish them off without dropping their HP to below 20% (when the HP bar turns red).
 
After you defeat her, she'll hand over the Cobble Badge, explaining that it'll allow you use {{hm|02|Fly}} outside of battle, and that traded Pokémon up to level 50 will obey you without question, along with {{tm|60|Drain Punch}}.


===Team Galactic Multi Battle===
===Team Galactic Double Battle===
After you defeat [[Maylene]] and earn the {{badge|Cobble}}, [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant Lucas/Dawn 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 two male [[Team Galactic]] Grunts. The two challenge you and the assistant to a [[Multi Battle]].
As you leave the Gym, [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant Lucas/Dawn comes up to you and tells you that their Pokédex has been stolen. Heal up at the Pokémon Center, then head over to the Galactic Warehouse to find two male [[Team Galactic]] Grunts. Challenge the two to a [[Multi Battle]] with Lucas/Dawn.

Upon defeat, the grunts give back the Pokédex and flee. [[Looker]] then shows up, having heard of the robbery, and is glad you were able to handle the situation. After your partner leaves, Looker then guides you into the warehouse. Inside he finds that the door is locked and states there is nothing he can do now. He does find {{HM|02|Fly}} and you can pick it up. Before leaving, Looker mentions a rumor of Team Galactic moving something important to [[Pastoria City]]. Now that you've completed that task, it's time to head south to {{rt|214|Sinnoh}} after healing up at the Pokémon Center.

Aside from the Trainers, this is a pretty straightforward route. The [[Maniac Tunnel]] is also located here. The {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} (necessary for evolving {{p|Gligar}} into {{p|Gliscor}}) is hidden in the lower-right corner of the southern [[long grass]] where {{tc|Collector}} Jamal is. You can't get another Razor Fang until you defeat the {{si|Elite Four}}. Just remember, this evolution only works at night.

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 Battle]]s. If you find your Pokémon are getting weak, go over to the hotel lobby and heal your Pokémon by talking to the man behind the counter. You will also find a lady who lost her [[Suite Key]] and asks you for your help. Go near the entrance to the hotel and use your Pokétch's [[Dowsing Machine]] to find and return it.

Veilstone City

Veilstone City

Having arrived in Veilstone, it's time to explore the city. Veilstone is the home of the Veilstone Department Store, Galactic Veilstone Building, the Veilstone Game Corner, and, of course, the Veilstone Gym.

In the house directly north of the Pokémon Center lives a man willing to hand over a Porygon. Make sure you have a free slot in your party so you're able to receive it.

Game Corner

The building in the southern part of the city decorated with glowing lights is the Game Corner. Here, you can collect Coins and then visit the Prize Exchange next door to get valuable items and TMs. Before you're allowed to play any games however, you'll need a Coin Case, in which your winnings are kept. Head to the next house to the west of the Game Corner. Speak to the clown inside, who'll hand over a Coin Case if you get the correct answer in his game of coin toss (you can play again whenever you get the wrong answer). In the Prize Exchange building to the east of the Game corner is a man who, if you talk to him while having a Pokémon with Hidden Power at the front of your party, will let you know what type Hidden Power's damage will be.

Massage Lady

In the house next to the house where you find the Coin Case is the Massage Lady. She'll massage one of your Pokémon once per day and also find an Accessory, which also raises the Pokémon's happiness.

Veilstone Department Store

Veilstone has a Department store instead of a conventional Poké Mart. Take the opportunity to stock up on supplies!

Inside, 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 Lucas/Dawn's starter Pokémon. The people at the counter on 1F sell items found in normal Poké Marts.

Veilstone Gym

Veilstone Gym

After exploring Veilstone City, it's time for you to challenge the Gym for your fourth Badge. Before you enter the Gym, you'll encounter Professor Rowan's research assistant Lucas/Dawn, and both of you will then meet Wake, Pastoria Gym's leader, as he leaves the Gym. The Veilstone Gym Leader, Maylene, specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon, which are weak to Psychic- and Flying-type attacks, but Maylene's Lucario is also weak to Fighting-, Fire-, and Ground-type attacks. However, many Fighting-type Pokémon can learn Rock-type moves, which cover their weakness against Flying-type Pokémon, so a team with Psychic Pokémon and Ghost Pokémon is ideal here.

The Gym is a maze consisting of many punching bags that you must push to smash barriers made up of tires in order to open up new paths. Your key goal is to aim for the punching bag in the upper left of the Gym that destroys the barrier that will get you to Maylene.

Knock the first punching bag to the right, and head up through the (now vacant) gap between the bottom right boxing ring and the support pillar. Knock the next bag north, make a quick detour into the ring to battle the First Karate Quad, then knock the bag north once more - it should end up just above and to the right of another bag. Knock this bag north, then follow it and head up and around the stack of tires at the northeast corner of the northeast boxing ring. Knock the next bag (that is just north of the northeast ring) twice to the left, then head south between the northeast ring and the benches, stopping to battle the second and third members of the Karate Quad, then head into the western portion of the Gym.

Head northwest, fight the fourth and final member of the Karate Quad, then knock the bag next to him south once, and then once east. Next, find the bag directly south of the path between the benches and north of the southwest boxing ring. Knock this bag anticlockwise (up, left, down, then right) all the way back to its original position. This should clear the way to the southwestern-most punching bag, which can now be knocked north once and east. Head up between the benches, and knock the bag above them twice to the east, finally opening up the stairs to allow you to challenge Maylene!

Veilstone Gym
The CobbleBadge




Maylene leads with her Meditite, which can use Fake Out on its first turn in battle to force your Pokémon to flinch and deal some damage. A quick Flying-type like Staravia using Wing Attack or Aerial Ace will take it out before it can use Rock Tomb to counter your Flying-type-type, but a Ghost-type is ideal as it will take little damage from Meditite's moves. Her Machoke is more offensive but should not be too difficult to beat though it can also counter Flying types with Rock Tomb, a Psychic or Ghost Pokémon will do will here too. Last up is Lucario, Maylene's star Pokémon. It has a variety of attacks, but nothing too rough. It can counter Fire-type-types with Bone Rush, so see it off with a Fighting-type of your own, or a Ground-type Pokémon - its Steel-type characteristics make it more resistant to Psychic- and Flying-type moves and will only take normal damage from them. Be careful of her Gym's signature move Drain Punch, which heals her Pokémon by 50% of the damage dealt with it, so try not to get into a war of attrition. Maylene will use Hyper Potions when her Pokémon get weak, so try to finish them off without dropping their HP to below 20% (when the HP bar turns red).

After you defeat her, she'll hand over the Cobble Badge, explaining that it'll allow you use HM02 (Fly) outside of battle, and that traded Pokémon up to level 50 will obey you without question, along with TM60 (Drain Punch).

Team Galactic Double Battle

As you leave the Gym, Professor Rowan's assistant Lucas/Dawn comes up to you and tells you that their Pokédex has been stolen. Heal up at the Pokémon Center, then head over to the Galactic Warehouse to find two male Team Galactic Grunts. Challenge the two to a Multi Battle with Lucas/Dawn.

Upon defeat, the grunts give back the Pokédex and flee. Looker then shows up, having heard of the robbery, and is glad you were able to handle the situation. After your partner leaves, Looker guides you into the warehouse. Inside he finds that the door is locked and states there is nothing he can do now. He does find HM02 (Fly) however, which you should pick up. Before leaving, Looker mentions a rumor of Team Galactic moving something important to Pastoria City. There's nothing else of importance to do in Veilstone (for now), so it's time to head south to Route 214, after healing up at the Pokémon Center if necessary.

Route 214

Route 214

Apart from the Trainers, this is a pretty straightforward route. First head south down the eastern side of the route. At the bottom of the maze of fences, head west a short distance, then back north up the mountainous western side of Route 214 where there are more trainers to battle, and, at the top, the Maniac Tunnel. On the way, collect the Razor Fang (necessary for evolving Gligar into Gliscor) hidden in the lower-right corner of the southern patch long grass near Collector Jamal, and the Magmarizer (necessary for evolving Magmar into Magmortar just north of Ruin Maniac Byran.

Maniac Tunnel

Maniac Tunnel with 0-9 Unown
Maniac Tunnel with 10-25 Unown
Maniac Tunnel with 26-28 Unown

By collecting different forms of Unown at the Solaceon Ruins, you can expand the tunnel and also affect the rarity of wild Pokémon here in the Maniac Tunnel. By collecting all of the 26 regular Unown the tunnel will be complete and you'll be able to collect the ! and ? Unown in the second floor of the Solaceon Ruins. Collect TM28 (Dig) just north of the Ruin Maniac, then head outside and turn south to the bottom of Route 214.

Valor Lakefront

Valor Lakefront
Hotel Grand Lake, part of Valor Lakefront

On the way to Pastoria City, you arrive at Valor Lakefront. You can't access Lake Valor proper just yet... So why not go to the Seven Stars Restaurant where you can partake in a number of Double Battles? If you find your Pokémon are getting tired, go to the hotel lobby and heal your Pokémon by talking to the man behind the counter. You will also find a lady who has lost her Suite Key, and asks you for your help finding it. Go near the entrance to the hotel and use your Pokétch's Dowsing Machine to find and return it. Some of the items will require the use of HM05 (Surf), and HM08 (Rock Climb), which you can use outside battle only after defeating the fifth and seventh Gym leaders respectively.

Route 213

Route 213

This is the final stretch to Pastoria City. Only a few Trainers and Pokémon stand in your way! Much like Valor Lakefront, you will have to come back later with Surf and Rock Climb to recover a few items. Collect all the items you can for now, then head through the gate at the western end of the route to finally reach your next destination and the location of your fifth Badge: Pastoria City!
