Catsear Gym and the road south
Prepare for Bastion, collect your Gym rewards and follow the newly cleared southern road to a helpful gardener.
Catsear Gym · Route 3 · Catsear City · Route 4
Start with a rested team
Return to the nurse in Catsear’s Pokemon Center and accept a rest before continuing the Gym challenge. Cole is already defeated on this route. Check your party’s health and moves, then enter the Gym west of the Center.
Challenge Bronson on the western side
Take the western stairs to the upper floor and approach Bronson on the western side. Finish his battle and conversation before moving farther into the Gym. Open the battle reveal below to check his team and the prize received in this run. Return to the nurse if your party needs recovery.
Cross to Bernie on the eastern side
Continue across the upper floor to Bernie on the eastern side. His battle adds another chance to train before the Leader. Close the conversation afterward and check your Pokemon’s new levels. When leaving the upper floor, approach a staircase from its top landing before walking down.
Review Crackliss’s Acid lesson
At level 11, Crackliss learned Acid in this run, replacing Constrict. Read each move-learning prompt carefully and choose a replacement that suits your own party. Your experience totals and learning prompts may arrive at different points.
Train and prepare before another attempt
Bastion defeated this party three times before further training. The successful attempt followed ordinary wild battles on Route 3 and regular rests at the Center. Shellie reached level 12 and learned Water Pulse, replacing Mud Sport. Check Shellos’s move list and your own team before returning; your team may need different preparation.
Meet Bastion on the northern platform
Return to the Gym with a rested party, climb onto the upper floor and head north to Bastion on the raised platform. Speak to him to start the Leader battle. The reveal below lists his tested team. The successful attempt earned ₽1200, with Shellie surviving on 1 HP, so plan another recovery stop afterward. Battle choices and outcomes can vary.
Receive the Superhot Badge
After winning, finish Bastion’s conversation to receive the Superhot Badge. He explains that the Badge permits Cut outside battle. Obtaining the HM and trying Cut in the field are later tasks; this chapter continues with the rewards and the road south.
Collect TM38 and check the Bag
Continue Bastion’s reward dialogue to receive one TM38, which teaches Incinerate. The reward goes into the TMs & HMs Pocket. Open the Bag to check it before leaving, and compare compatibility before deciding which Pokemon should learn the move.
Finish the scene outside and rest
Leaving the Gym starts a short scene with Monty and Willow. Let the conversation and their movements finish. Once you can move again, return to the Pokemon Center and accept a rest at the nurse before leaving town.
Take Catsear’s southern road
Follow the main road south past the lower houses, then turn east along the lower brick road. Continue down the southern stairs. The crate workers who blocked this road earlier are gone after the Gym events. Walk south through the city boundary to enter Route 4.
Follow the bend to Cayden
From Route 4’s northern entrance, follow the first bend west, then south and back east toward the grass. Cayden challenges you nearby. Finish her battle and conversation, then walk south around her before continuing east. Her tested team and ₽64 prize are in the battle reveal below.
Find the flowerbed caretaker
Continue east past the trees, then turn south toward the white ledge and flowerbed. Approach the caretaker beside the plants. In this run, standing just east of him and facing left allowed the conversation to begin.
Receive the Phanpy Pail
Speak to the caretaker and finish his advice to receive one Phanpy Pail in the Key Items Pocket. Open the Bag to check it. Speaking again produced watering advice and left the quantity at one. Watering plants and testing their yield are beyond this chapter.
