Gateon Port:
Upon arrival, Jovi will run into bodybuilder Zook, and upset him by calling him uncle. Zook sends out a Zangoose, but then a short old man named Verich appears to intervene. His blue-haired bodyguard, Ardos, will faint Zangoose with an Alakazam, and Zook will run off.
Right away, Jovi bumps into her friend Emily who is with her mother Emma, a fervent novelist. They tell you that Verich is a famous merchant who brings in lots of good everything his cruiser sails in, and that every at the Gateon Port respects and idolizes him. They will then leave, and head to the machinery store next to their house. A sailor in there will tell you that the owner, Zak, is out there fixing the Port’s bridges. He will also notice your Eevee, and offer you one of the 5 evolutionary items to choose.
Head out to the harbour, and Zak will tell you that the bridges are fixed and head back to his store. Re-enter the store and talk to him to retrieve the special machine parts. He tells you that he isn’t really the owner, but his grandfather is. You can then explore this place a little. There are two sets of bridges at the harbour, which shoots out runways in different directions by stepping onto their control pads on either side. You need these to get to the lighthouse on the north, where you head to the top and fight your first shadow Pokémon trainer at the Gateon Port.
Bodybuilder Kilen - Zubat 6, Poochyena 10+
Snag the Poochyena and Lanna will be gone next time you come back. Now, use the bridges again to head east, there’s an old man there:
Casual Guy Cyle - Taillow 6, Ledyba 10+
Snag it again, and fight the sailor at the harbour:
Sailor Gonzui - Whismur 6, Marill 6
He will give you TM 45. To right side of this port has a Pokémon Center and a Mart, which second floor is blocked by a Munchlax. Next to these is a Krabby Pavilion where the famous magician girls Eleanor and Karina are performing. You will need to beat the sailor at the entrace first to gain entry:
Sailor Tai - Lotad 6, Wingull 6
Verich and his bodyguards are upstairs, but you can’t talk to the old man yet because the guards won’t let you. You can head back to the lab now.
The Pokémon HQ Lab:
Joshua will give you Krane’s Memo 3, 4, 5, more on shadow Pokémon’s data, and their work on the Purify Chamber. Head upstaris, hand over the machine parts to your mom, Lily, and Jovi will run off because she remembers that she was playing hide and seek with Haido. Lily tells you of a place called Agate Village, to the east, and wants you to go there to visit an old man Eagun. The location is now accessible.
Agate Village:
This old place is almost 100% identical to how it looks in Colosseum, except for its surroundings which is now replaced by misty mountains instead of a blank sky. You find Eagun’s wife, Beluh, in his house, and Eagun will come in and offer to bring you to the Relic Forest where the guardian Celebi is said to lay its blessings. He won’t take you there however, so you have time to explore the village a little and fight some trainers:
Rider Vitel - Wurmple 5, Silcoon7, Cascoon 7
Elite Trainer Takami - Igglybuff 7, Azurill 7, Togepi 7
Jolly Old Man Oldo - Oddish, Machop 7
Bodybuilder Bozzel - Tyrogue 7, Grimer 8, Zubat 7
That berry old man and his Taillow is still up their, but no one seems to be in the Daycare center yet. Enter that secret cave on the west side, and there’s an old woman in there who offers to teach your Pokémon 3 moves: mimic, thunderwave, seismic toss, all being one-offs. Now, head down to the Relic Forest, and you will need to fight a series of trainers first:
Fun Old Lady Kurana - Poochyena 7, Nincada 7 (beat her to get TM09)
Elite Trainer Nei - Zigzagoon 8, Numel 8
Supertrainer Ina - Corphish 8, Snubble 8, Lotad 8
Fun Old Lady Skolu - Slugma 8, Cacnea 8
Fun Old Man Dentore - Abra 9, Horsea 9, Shroomish 9
The point in this village is to get at least one of your three shadows purified, so this last old man Dentore will give you the Cologne Case to finish the last bits of heart-gauge clearing. Head in and Eagun will challenge you:
Legendary Trainer Eagun - Pikachu 12
You then do a purification ceremony at the Relic Stone, and Eagun will take you back home. He will tell you to find Vander at Mt. Battle, and you can access this location now.
Mt. Battle:
Verich’s blue bodyguard Ardos will be at the entrace of Mt. Battle when you arrive, but leaves after commenting on Mt. Battle’s training style. You go into the lobby, and the move relearner, deleter and the guy who teaches Mew its moves will all be at the right corner. Challenge the Mt. Battle, and after your third fight, Vander will talk to you, and tell you about the deserted Shadow Pokémon Lab of Cipher 5 years ago. Head there now.
