Pokemon Dark Rising Walkthrough Part 2

[Claudio Davey]

HeyI have created this guide to help players that may need help completing the Johto region. I will cover the Johto region from start to finish in this guide! I hope that you find this guide helpful! I also want to give a shout out to JollyolNathan for making this awesome Kanto Walkthrough. If you need help with Kanto you should check out his awesome guide.

JollyOlNathan's Kanto Walkthrough covers on how to travel from Kanto to Johto so you can check that out there. So, I will cover some important information you will need to know before progressing to Johto.

Before going to Johto, there are a few things that you will need to know. First off, once you leave Kanto, you will not be able to travel back until after you have defeated the 8th Johto gym in Blackthorn City and obtain the Rising badge.

You also will not be able to use Pokmon from other regions until you obtain the 8th badge. However, you do retain access to your money and items and can use them in Johto. You can sell and trade Pokmon in Johto without 4 badges, however they must be Johto Pokmon. Take all of your items off of your pokemon and put them in your bag before going to Johto!!!! If they are on a pokemon you will not be able to access them from the pc once you go to Johto because your Kanto pokemon will be locked! So put them in your bag! Something else you will need to know is that moves like surf won't work until you have the appropriate badges for them, just like before in kanto.

Head north on Route 30 to head to Route 31. There will be a few trainers in your way that you must defeat in order to progress. There is a free Counter TM here behind this trainer! Be sure to trigger the Battle from the distance cause the TM is behind the Trainer.

Then head to the left on Route 31 to proceed to Violet City. There are a few trainers here to fight. There is also an entrance to the Dark Cave here, but I do not recommend exploring it until later, because you cannot progress through the cave from this side.

If you head to the left after you first enter the tower, there is an abandoned Gastly that you can claim here. After claiming Gastly, proceed to go up the stairs to the next room. There will be a few trainers for you to fight ahead. Keep proceeding up the ladders until you get to the third floor.

You will have a handful of trainers to fight, and then you will get to the Master of the Sages of Sprout tower.

After defeating the master, he will tell the guard to move, and you will be allowed to challenge the Violet City gym. If you do not want to walk all the way down the tower, the pokeball to the right of the master contains an escape rope.

After beating Falkner you will obtain the Zephyr Badge. (By receiving the Zephyr Badge, you can now use Headbutt and Flash outside of battle if your Pokemon has 150 happiness or more.) The man by the exit will teach your Pokemon Tailwind for $10,000.

On route 32, you head south until you get to the Union Cave. There is not much to do here except fight trainers on your way to the cave. The Pokeball behind the Tree does not do anything and can just be ignored. (Even though "Lass Ensa" mentiones she lost something - but still nothing going on)

In the Union Cave, for now just head to the south to Exit the cave. There is a few trainers for you to fight here. Later on you can come back and explore some of the other areas in the cave with surf.

You can find a super potion here.

At the end of the well you will have to fight Team Rocket Admin Christina! After defeating her, she will flee and the Slowpoke will go back to their well. You will now also be able to challenge the Azalea Town Gym!

Heal your pokemon and head on over to the gym. You will notice that the Slowpoke has gone back to the well now : )

Bugsy uses bug type pokemon, so fire, flying, or rock type pokemon would be really effective vs her! I recommend being level 25 pokemon to defeat her with. Bugsy's team:

There is nothing really here except for a gauntlet of trainers. Later on after you complete the Johto Story line and the quest to obtain Egg Moves, you may find the daycare useful. Head north to Goldenrod City!

There is a Biker here, south of the pokemon center that you can trade a drowzee for his machop. The machop will be holding a macho brace. After completing this trade, you can buy macho braces from him if you misplace yours.

In front of the Radio Tower you will notice that there is a police officer and Whitney the Goldenrod City Gym leader! Upon talking to them, you are informed that the Police Officer needs your help with an investigation. He needs you to go to the Goldenrod City Underground to find the Radio Station Manager. Whitney refuses to go back to her gym until this matter is solved.

For a Poke with Sleep Powder or Spore you can for example get a Paras or a Caterpie from Ilex Forest and train them (Caterpie needs to be evolved into Butterfree to learn Sleep Powder) till they learn the move. You can get Fresh Water from the Vending Machine at the Top Floor of the Goldenrod Department Store.

Then proceed down to the warehouse. There are Pokemon trapped in the crates, and you must free them all! You must also avoid the Team Rocket Members or else you will be teleporter outside and have to go back again.

(Just a note, you will not have an item for mail or the Spearow in your inventory. Just go talk to the guard anyways and you will be able to progress.)

There is a shortcut here to the right of the guard house that you can take to go to route 36 by using cut. But I am going to cover the National Park in the next part incase you decide to go that way.

After using the squirtbottle it turns out that this bizarre tree is a pokemon named Sudowoodo and it wants to battle! Sudowoodo is a rock type pokemon. You have an option here to either capture or defeat this pokemon!

After defeating her, head to the bottom floor. There you will find the leader of the Ecruteak City Gym Morty! He will talk to you about the three legendary dogs. Afterwards they will disappear and he will go to the gym so you can challenge him.

The Ecruteak City Gym is led by Morty who is a master of ghost type pokemon. Ghost, and dark type moves are super effective versus these types. Keep in mind that ghost type moves do not effect normal type pokemon, and normal type moves do not effect ghost type pokemon. Defeating him will grant you the Fog Badge! Morty's team:

Welcome to Olivine City! Upon talking to the guard in front of the gym, he will inform you that you must travel to the lighthouse to speak to the gym leader. The lighthouse is in the bottom right of the city.

In the houses right before the lighthouse, you can buy the Super Rod here for 75k. Make sure you have the other rods first. You can find out how to get them in JollyOlNathan's Kanto Guide if you need help finding them.

After exiting the lighthouse, head left from the Olivine Pokecenter and you will find yourself on Route 40. You will need a pokemon with surf in order to make this voyage so I recommend teaching it to a pokemon, if you have not already.

To the left of the Pokecenter, you can find the Cianwood Pharmacy. Inside of the Pharmacy, you can talk with the secret potion maker and she will give you one after hearing what happened in the lighthouse.

Defeating her will net you the Mineral Badge! And the guy in the front of her gym will now tutor your pokemon the move iron head if you desire for 10k! Now head back to Ecruteak City! And get ready to travel through mt mortar!

So you arrive at Mahogany Town to find out that the gym is blocked off again.... The guard in front of the gym says he will not move until the matter at the suspicious shop is over. Make sure you have a pokemon that knows cut and a pokemon that knows surf with you.

There's nothing really weird here at the moment except for a defunct looking tree and everything seems normal in the shop. So you head north to Route 43.

There's quite a bit of trainers on Route 43 for you to face. Keep trucking forward and head north towards the lake.

After that, head down the hallway to the left of the stairs. There will be a few Team Rocket members there patrolling the hallway. If one of them catches you, you will have to restart that part from the beginning. This is probably one of the most frustrating things, but if you are pretty patient you can get by quickly.

Welcome to Blackthorn City! Home of the Dragons Den. The Dragons Den is a great area for helping to level your pokemon! I won't cover it in depth, but if you need a spot to train your pokemon before the Elite 4 it is one of the best spots available to you at the moment.

After defeating her you gain the Rising Badge! And also the guy in front of the gym will now teach your pokemon Dragon Pulse for 10k. You can now use your pokemon from Kanto and you can leave Johto if you wish. Whats next? Well, you can challenge the Johto Elite 4 to become the champion!

Turns out, the Johto Elite 4 is in Kanto at the Indigo Plateau. So either just walk south from Blackthorn and go back the way to Kanto you came. Or head from Blackthorn City to Goldenrod City. In Goldenrod City next to the Radio Station, there is a train station. At that train station, you can take the train to go from Johto to Kanto (costs 5k).

Taking this train will take you to Saffron City in Kanto. From there head south to Vermilion City. Make sure you have a pokemon that knows cut with you for the next part. Once you reach Vermilion City, head through Diglett's Cave to Route 2.

Head south on Route 2 and cut the tree. You will find yourself in Viridian City. From Viridian City, head left onto Route 22. This will bring you to the Pokemon League gate. Take the path to the north at the crossroads. You will then trek through Victory Road. JollyOlNathan's Kanto Walkthrough covers Victory Road pretty well in case you need a refresher. After exiting Victory Road, you reach the Indigo Plateau. The building on the left is the home of the Johto Elite 4.
