Indigo Plateau: Pokémon League HQ (part two)
Pokémon found: No Pokémon in this part
After exiting the last cave on your journey to the Pokémon League, head upwards. There's a bit of a maze at the top, but just go upwards from the right, and you'll get through it easily. Go through the gate, and at the top, enter the big building...
Okay, the rules of the Pokémon League are these: You may bring up to six Pokémon and any number of items (if you want to test your skills, restrict yourself to not using any items) to fight the so-called 'Elite Four'. They are four trainers who you have to face without being able to heal your Pokémon in between unless you use your own items. After defeating them all, you will get to face the Champion. After defeating him, you become the Champion, but you're an exception so you won't have to stay there and wait for challengers once you're Champion. At least, now you're going to beat the Elite Four.
Take your time training your Pokémon if you feel the need to, but an averagely powerful, in-game structured team should be able to beat them at level fifty or so, provided that you know what you're doing. When you think you're ready, you can Fly straight to the Indigo Plateau, save your game and enter the room on the left. Do NOT save between the Elite Four members; if you happen to get stuck, you'll be forced to lose half of your money (which should be a good sum by now) in order to get out of there. There's no quitting, you see. Either you win or you lose.
Anyway, once you've definitely saved, enter the room you can get into on the far left side of the building.
Battle - Elite Four Lorelei
Pokémon: Dewgong lv. 52, Cloyster lv. 51, Slowbro lv. 52, Lapras lv. 54, Jynx lv. 54
She is very tough in many aspects. Her Dewgong uses Rest, her Cloyster uses Protect, her Slowbro uses Amnesia, her Lapras uses Confuse Ray, her Jynx uses Lovely Kiss... it's all made to make her Pokémon very annoying to take down. A good, fast Electric Pokémon like Jolteon with Thunderbolt (the TM is sold at the Celadon City Game Corner for 4000 coins) will probably be your best bet here. Anyway, if you have too much difficulty with her, I advise you to go training some more, because things will get tougher...
Once you beat her, head on and enter the next room.
Battle - Elite Four Bruno
Pokémon: Onix lv. 51, Hitmonchan lv. 53, Machamp lv. 56, Hitmonlee lv. 53, Onix lv. 54
I don't find Bruno too hard, because he has major weaknesses you can exploit. Onix have a double weakness to both Water and Grass moves, and Fighting Pokémon are weak to Flying and Psychic. It might just be me, but I at least seem incapable of making a team without Flying Pokémon. Aerial Ace will help as well. After beating him, go on to the next room.
Battle - Elite Four Agatha
Pokémon: Gengar lv. 54, Golbat lv. 54, Arbok lv. 54, Gengar lv. 58, Haunter lv. 53
Her level 58 Gengar likes to use Hypnosis and some very nasty combos to go with it, so I strongly suggest you bring a type advantage along, especially since it's hard to take out too. Haunter does it too, but not as effectively. Sludge Bomb can also be deadly. Anyway, after you beat her and exit her chamber, you will automatically walk into Lance's room.
Battle - Elite Four Lance
Pokémon: Gyarados lv. 56, Dragonair lv. 54 (x2), Aerodactyl lv. 58, Dragonite lv. 60
Two words: Beat Aerodactyl. It's extremely fast; it might be good to paralyze it with a very fast Electric Pokémon or something first. It might just be that my team ended up with only one Pokémon that's not weak to Rock, but Aerodactyl is definitely the hardest to beat as I see it. At least if you make sure to have a good Ice attack handy. When you beat him, he will tell you that the Champion is... *drumroll* YOUR RIVAL! Yep, he's everywhere. Now, if your previous battles went exceptionally well so that you're pretty positive you're going to manage a win against your rival, you can save. Enter the last room, and you'll automatically walk up to your Rival. He'll say he's the most powerful trainer in the world, and some dramatic music will start...
Battle - Champion Rival
Pokémon: Pidgeot lv. 59, Rhydon lv. 59, Exeggutor/Arcanine/Gyarados lv. 61, Arcanine/Gyarados/Exeggutor lv. 59, Alakazam lv. 57, Blastoise/Venusaur/Charizard lv. 63
This is the ultimate battle. He has a balanced team as you can see, so you'd better give it your best and exploit each individual Pokémon's weaknesses. Good luck!
If you do manage to beat him, Professor Oak will come and congratulate you. He'll also tell your rival off for not treating his Pokémon with love and trust. He'll also say that it is thanks to the bond you share with your Pokémon that you won. Then you'll follow him into the next room.
He'll congratulate you again and explain about the Hall of Fame. Then you and your Pokémon will be registered to the Hall of Fame as league champions! Congratulations!
Now you'll see Gary, Professor Oak and yourself run back home as the credits roll.
THE END... or is it?
