Don’t be shy; free healing’s just nearby!

Once she’s been taken down, head north, then west along the path to the shack. Enter it. Talk to the female Ace Trainer inside at any time to heal your Pokemon . The shady-looking man in the north-east corner of the room will buy any Rare Bones off of you for a grand total of $10000 each.

Feel free to sell them to him if you want. Once you’re done, head back outside. Head south to the bridge. Move over it and use Strength to push the boulder into the hole. Move over the boulder to the Black Belt moving around in circles. Go and beat him up before he makes you dizzy.

Trainer Battle: Black Belt

Pokemon Level Type
"Hariyama" IconHariyama 65 Fighting
"Throh" IconThroh 65 Fighting
"Hitmontop" IconHitmontop 65 Fighting

Once he’s been fought, head to the south-east corner of this area. Locate the hidden Rare Candy using your Dowsing MCHN, then head back to the Black Belt. Now head south-west and grab the Zinc sitting in the Tall Grass. Head back to the Black Belt and head back over the bridge

Once you’re over, head west to the stairs leading down. Move down them to the sand below. First head south right down to the water. Use your Dowsing MCHN to find the Pearl String hidden in the rock. Move back north and move up the steps leading east to the boulder.

Use Strength on the boulder and push it into the hole. Once it’s in the hole, head east under the bridge and down the steps to an out-of-the-way sandy area. There’s a Veteran here. You know what that means!

Trainer Battle: Veteran

Grab the Star Piece north of the Veteran then backtrack all the way past the boulder, down the stairs to the sand there. Head north up the stairs to the Hiker.

Pokemon Level Type
"Hippopotas" IconHippopotas 64 Ground

Pokemon Level Type
"Salamence" IconSalamence 70 Dragon/Flying

Continue south past her to the very end where you’ll find TM19 - Telekinesis ! Snatch ‘er up and head back north until you’re out of the Tall Grass. Now just continue along the main path leading north. When you finally hit some stairs taking you north, move up them.

At the top you’ll find a familiar face, if you played Diamond/Pearl/Platnium at least. It’s Crasher Wake, a former Gym Leader! After speaking with him for a bit, he’ll eventually leave. Follow the path taking you east. Head over the bridge when you reach it.

Halfway across is a Veteran… what a troll!. Let’s teach this troll a lesson! This happens to be a Rotation Battle, by the way.

"Staraptor" IconStaraptor 68 Normal/Flying
"Relicanth" IconRelicanth 68 Water/Rock

With the Magma Stone, you can encounter Legendary Pokemon Heatran.

Head over to the other side of the bridge and grab the Magma Stone . This key item can be used to summon "Heatran" IconHeatran in Reversal Mountain . If you want, you can skip ahead to Reversal Mountain now, although there isn’t much left to explore, so let’s clean up here first.

Go down the stairs all the way down to the beach. Use your Dowsing MCHN to find the Heart Scale buried in the sand. Use **** Surf to head out onto the water; time to explore the rest of Route 17 !
