Hewn From Rock
As you can see, Veilstone City
is a huge city. It has a large, five-story Department Store west of the Pokemon Center. The first floor sells Balls, normal items, mail items,
and medicine items. Talk to the lady near the counter for a Turtwig Mask. The second floor sells battle items and stat boosting items
such as Calcium. Talk to the other girl behind the counter to receive a Counter application for your Poketch. The third
floor sells a lot of TMs. The fourth floor sells decorations. On the fifth floor, talk to the twin dressed in blue on the right for
a Sticky Barb. Finally, after a fun bit of shopping, it's time to check out other things in the city.
Game Corner Fun
Veilstone City has a Game Corner where you can gamble and have fun. However, you'll need Coins to do so, and you'll need a Coin Case to store them. The Coin Case can be obtained from a clown in a house in the south-western part of the city. He'll spin a coin and ask you to pick which hand the coin is in; just pick the same hand over and over until you get it. In the house next to that house, the girl inside can give your Pokemon a massage. The bald man standing outside the house to the left will give you TM63 - Embargo. Now you can check out the Game Corner at the south-eastern part of the city.
You can buy 50 Coins for $1,000 or 500 Coins for $10,000. Talk to the two guys near the counter for free Coins. Now you can have a bit of fun on the slot machines. If you get enough Coins, you can go next door to the Prize Exchange to get some items, such as TMs, for your Coins. Note that it is very costly to get stuff here. After you're done exploring, it's time to visit the gym. After learning Rock Climb, you can pick up a Full Incense near the Gym.
Time to Fight
This is a Fighting-type gym, as you could probably
tell from all those Blackbelts waiting to battle you. To reach the Gym Leader, you'll have to push the wooden slides from the left or right
side in order to move around. I would suggest first battling all the Blackbelts and heal your Pokemon at the Pokemon Center before solving
this sliding puzzle. Note that once you leave the gym, the slides are reset.
You want to eventually be able to slide the two slides at the very end so that they open up to the Gym Leader. In order to do that, you'll need to move the slides in each of the three columns. First take care of the left column by matching up the slides with the openings of each box. You do this by sliding the slides of both the left column and the middle column back and forth. When the left column is opened up at last, go to the end and push the slide at the very end to the right. Now do the same for the right column, go to the end, and push the slide at the very end to the left. Now all you need to do is push the slides in the middle column to the proper positions (you probably won't need to if you followed the steps here, since everything will naturally fall into place), and you'll be walking straight towards the Gym Leader!
The Gym Leader is Maylene and she uses some powerful Fighting Pokemon: a lv. 27 Meditite, a lv. 27 Machoke, and a lv. 30 Lucario. After defeating Maylene, you'll receive the Cobble Badge, which allows you to use Fly (though you haven't gotten this HM yet) outside of battle. Also, she'll give you TM60 - Drain Punch.
Outside the gym, Dawn asks you to help her get her PokeDex back from Team Galactic. Go north near the entrance to the city, and you'll find two Galactic Grunts facing Dawn. Talk to her to initiate the battle. Dawn will team up with you, using her lv. 25 Clefairy. Together, the Galactic Grunts have four Pokemon and Clefairy won't do too much to help you; so, be prepared. The Galactic Grunts will return Dawn's PokeDex to her after their defeat and she'll head off to Pastoria City. Go into the Warehouse to pick up HM02 - Fly. With Fly, you can now you can move around previously visited areas of Sinnoh much more easily.
Now, go south onto Route 214. Note that there is more than one way to go on from here, but I've decided to go this way since it's the most obvious one.
Route 214
This is a long, grassy route filled with trainers and items. The first items to pick up are the Berries next to the pond. After learning Surf, you can go to the other side of the pond to pick up a Rare Candy. Check out the Ruin Maniac Cave and pick up TM28 - Dig. You can choose to go the regular path through the grass or the mountainous path on the left (or you can go both ways!). If you go the mountainous path, pick up the hidden TinyMushroom in the empty spot in the tall grass where a single trainer is standing. At the end of the mountainous path, you can pick up a Max Potion in the large patch of grass. If you go the regular path, you'll be able to pick up an X Sp. Def and a Big Root. You'll find a hidden Heart Scale in the rectangular patch of grass with an empty spot on the left side. Whichever path you choose, you'll be able to reach Valor Lakefront.
Valor Lakefront
Unfortunately, you won't be able
to check out the lake for now, since two men are blocking it. Keep going south to pick up a Parlyz Heal. Inside the
Seven Stars Restaurant filled with all sorts of trainers who are pretending to be eating (at least, it seems that way). Fight them
for lots of experience. Afterwards, go on to Route 213.
Route 213
Go into the first house you see after going south. Inside, a clown will give you TM92 - Trick Room. After learning Rock Climb, go behind the house across from that house and climb down the rocks. Go into that house and the guy inside will give you the Coin Toss application for your b>Poketch. The trash can contains a Max Revive. If you climb south, you'll be able to pick up a Protein. Then, climb down east, and climb up twice. Pick up the hidden Rare Candy on the wall.
On the west side of the first house on Route 213, you can pick up a PP Up. In the hotel, you'll be able to heal your Pokemon by talking to the lady behind the counter. On the other side, you'll find a Red Shard. Soon, you'll reach a beach where you can battle with two little kids. Head west from here. In the small house you see, Dr. Footstep's House, talk to Dr. Footstep inside to get your Pokemon's footprint checked and receive a Footprint Ribbon. Nearby, smash the rock and pick up TM40 - Aerial Ace. After learning Rock Climb, climb the tall hill on the east side (fat guy standing under it), and pick up TM05 - Roar. Continue west to leave the beach area and pick up the Berries. Finally, you'll arrive at Pastoria City.
