Knot Island
Dominant Team: Magma
You'll land in front of the Pokémon Net Center as usual, only to find out that there's a red gate blocking access to Kindle Road, a giant battleship docked where the ferry should be AND blocking access to Treasure Beach, and all of the usual people not outside. None of the doors are locked, but it's business as usual inside all of the buildings...except for the ferry terminal and the Pokémon Net Center itself. In the former, you'll find a Team Magma Grunt standing in front of the battleship who won't battle you right now. Inside the latter, you'll find what appears to be a Crush Girl standing near Celio, and everyone else (including Celio, not including the nurse) talking about Team Magma suddenly appearing in their large battleship and dispersing powerful grunts all over the Kindle Road and Mt. Ember areas. Anyway, the one that appears to be the Crush Girl doesn't talk like one...Looks like they're in the Sevii Islands as well! The disguise comes off, revealing...
Team Flora Grunt(F): L53 Cacturne, L53 Exeggutor
Once this grunt is defeated and Crush Girl is checked off on the Grunt Checklist, she'll talk about how Celio knew all along that she wasn't really a Crush Girl and elected to harbor her so that Farlie would never know she stowed away on the intial ferry! At this point, she'll change back into her Crush Girl disguise and ask that the people who saw this "spectacle" not to tell anyone and that Celio will harbor her until the harboring ferry can finally dock. In exchange for keeping her secret, she'll give you a RED GATE KEY.
At this point, it appears nothing has changed on the island. In reality, things have changed. If you walk up to the red gate that had blocked access to Kindle Road, it will suddenly disappear! It appears that the Red Gate Key the fake Crush Girl gave you has the power to open Team Magma's red gates! It's time to hit the Kindle Road.
From the looks of Kindle Road, you'll find out that Team Magma is serious about taking Knot Island. There are 24 Team Magma Grunts on Kindle Road alone! One of them blocks entry into the Ember Spa, while two of them block entrance into Mt. Ember. Here are the teams of all 24 of these grunts:
Team Magma Grunt(M): L54 Camerupt
Team Magma Grunt(F): L54 Arcanine
Team Magma Grunt(M): L54 Crobat
Team Magma Grunt(F): L54 Mightyena
Team Magma Grunt(M): L52 Camerupt, L52 Camerupt, L52 Golbat

Team Magma Grunt(F): L49 Numel, L49 Numel, L49 Numel, L49 Numel, L49 Numel, L49 Numel
Once you defeat the 19th grunt listed above, he'll step aside and allow you to enter the Ember Spa, which is currently being inhabited by 6 more Team Magma Grunts. The fifth one is a familiar face, she's the Magma portion of the Castform Squad you faced on that scary elevator ride in Moon East Tower, using the same Sunny Day-no adapter strategy as before. Here are their teams:
Team Magma Grunt(M): L52 Camerupt, L52 Camerupt, L52 Golbat
Team Magma Grunt(F): L49 Growlithe, L49 Growlithe, L49 Growlithe, L49 Growlithe, L49 Growlithe, L49 Growlithe

Team Magma Grunt(M): L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena
Once you've defeated all 24 of the grunts on Kindle Road and all 6 of the grunts at the Ember Spa, only then will you be allowed to enter the Mt. Ember area. Team Magma's also ganged up here as well; there's 30 Grunts all over the complex. Here are the teams of each and every one:
Team Magma Grunt(M): L56 Camerupt
Team Magma Grunt(F): L56 Arcanine
Team Magma Grunt(M): L56 Arcanine

The 29th and 30th ones are in Moltres's area. You can only fight those two once all 28 of the others have been defeated. Once you defeat all 30 grunts, the last one you fought will drop a RED SHIP KEY where that grunt stood; use Itemfinder to dig it up.
The Red Ship Key is the key to unlock the door to Team Magma's battleship. Head back to the ferry terminal on the island (heal at the Pokémon Net Center first). You'll find the grunt guarding it gone, but the door locked. Press A in front of the battleship to walk aboard. Welcome to the MAGMA BATTLESHIP.
Magma Battleship
Dominant Team: Magma
Once you're aboard, the door will lock behind you! Then you'll hear a ship's whistle--the ship is setting sail! If you try to use the door again, you'll find out that you don't have the key for it; check the Key Items Pocket and you'll find that your Red Ship Key is no longer there. Anyway, you're in a small room with a Healing Station and a staircase at the south side of the room leading downstairs. You won't be able to return to Knot Island, or anywhere else on the map for that matter, for quite awhile, so better get comfortable.
The Magma Battleship has four levels, each one rather large; think of stacking 6 copies of Celadon City on each floor in a 3x2 grid, that's how big each floor is. Also, this battleship has several kinds of traps aboard; Rock Smash rocks, Strength rocks, Taser gates, as well as lava mazes with boats that you use Surf to get aboard. There are also 20 Team Magma Grunts on each floor other than the fourth, which has 18 grunts. 15 of the 18 grunts on B3F will recognize you as the one who got past them on Seafoam Island. You must beat all of the grunts on a floor to gain access to the next; the floor transitions are small rooms with the door to the chamber you just left to the top of one side and a staircase leading downstairs on the bottom of the same side, with a Healing Station. Here's the list of grunts you'll face on 1F:
Team Magma Grunt(M): L57 Magcargo
Team Magma Grunt(F): L57 Magcargo
Team Magma Grunt(M): L55 Camerupt, L55 Camerupt, L55 Magcargo

Team Magma Grunt(F): L58 Golbat, L59 Poochyena, L60 Crobat
Once you've beaten all 18 grunts on B3F, a teleporter tile will appear. You'll appear just outside the room you boarded the battleship from. Head inside and heal your Pokémon, then save your game. Once you're ready, a new path on the east side of 1F will lead upstairs onto a deck. 2 grunts stand between you and Tabitha. Here are the teams of the grunts:
Team Magma Grunt(M): L61 Arcanine, L61 Magcargo
Team Magma Grunt(F): L61 Camerupt, L61 Magcargo
Once you've beaten both of these grunts, Tabitha will ask that the grunts leave, then she'll challenge you herself. Here's her very powerful team:
Magma Admin Tabitha(F): L69 Arcanine, L68 Camerupt, L68 Mightyena, L68 Charizard, L67 Crobat, L67 Dugtrio
Once you've defeated Tabitha, she'll gasp in shock that you've managed to get by the entire top tier of Team Magma! However, she's not content with letting you just get away from the battleship--which is why she pushes a button to blow up the boiler, then proceeds to fly away! The game will automatically save at this point. You have just 90 seconds to get back to the room where you entered the battleship from, or else you'll sink along with the battleship (the cutscene will show the battleship sinking beneath the waves, with a text box displaying the last phrase that is normally displayed whenever you lose a battle will come up, and you'll have to start the whole escape again from where you faced Tabitha from with 90 seconds left to go and half of your money gone). Only the lava boats and Rock Smash boulders remain, but there are more boulders on the escape route. In the room where you first boarded the battleship from, there's now a teleporter tile that leads to another part of the top deck, this time with a Fly tile. Use the Fly tile to trigger a cutscene. This cutscene will show your character flying away from the battleship, then of the battleship sinking beneath the waves.
Once the cutscene is finished, you will return to the Pokémon Net Center on Knot Island. You'll be met by the fake Crush Girl as well as Blaine. The fake Crush Girl will thank you for getting rid of the battleship so the ferry harboring the other female Team Flora Grunts can finally dock in the harbor, and will trade your Red Gate Key for a TM35 before heading for the ferry terminal. Blaine will thank you for completely driving Team Magma out of the country, and will trade Skeleton Key I for an Aurora Ticket (or a Liechi Berry if you already have the Aurora Ticket), before heading for the ferry terminal himself.
Heal your Pokémon first. Now, use Fly to check if any of the other islands on this page are now open. Unfortunately, you'll see that neither Boon nor Kin Islands can be travelled to. Get back on board the ferry. Set sail for Birth Island.
Any possible progress to get to Deoxys on Birth Island, however, is blocked by a large teal gate. If Blaine gave you the Aurora Ticket before coming here, you'll find an item ball with a Liechi Berry inside it just below the gate. Checking with Fly, you'll find out that you're on page 4 of the Town Map, and that Quest Island is open for business. Time to fly to Quest Island.
Quest Island
Dominant Team: Rocket
You'll land in front of the Pokémon Center as usual, only to find out that there's brown gates blocking access to Trainer Tower and Canyon Entrance, a giant battleship docked where the ferry should be, and all of the usual people not outside. None of the doors are locked, but it's business as usual inside all of the buildings...except for the ferry terminal and the Pokémon Center itself. In the former, you'll find a Team Rocket Grunt standing in front of the battleship who won't battle you right now. Inside the latter, you'll find what appears to be a Hiker near the bookcase and everyone else (not including the nurse) talking about Team Rocket suddenly appearing in their large battleship and dispersing powerful grunts all over the Trainer Tower, Sevault Canyon, and Tanoby Chambers areas. Anyway, the one that appears to be the Hiker doesn't talk like one...The disguise comes off, revealing...
Team Flora Grunt(F): L53 Cacturne, L53 Crobat
Once this grunt is defeated and Hiker is checked off on the Grunt Checklist, she'll talk about how the nurse knew all along that she wasn't really a Hiker and elected to harbor her so that Farlie would never know she stowed away on the intial ferry! At this point, she'll change back into her Hiker disguise and ask that the people who saw this "spectacle" not to tell anyone and that the nurse will harbor her until the harboring ferry can finally dock. In exchange for keeping her secret, she'll give you a BROWN GATE KEY.
Anyway, here's a rundown of the 6 remaining classes on Xenia's Grunt Checklist: male Cooltrainer, male Swimmer, Camper, female Psychic, Youngster, and Scientist.
At this point, it appears nothing has changed on the island. In reality, things have changed. If you walk up to either of the brown gates that had blocked access to the north and south, that gate will suddenly disappear! It appears that the Brown Gate Key the fake Hiker gave you has the power to open Team Rocket's brown gates! First stop, Trainer Tower.
Team Rocket has sent 24 grunts to the Trainer Tower itself and its surrounding area. All Trainer Tower challenges are suspended until the Team Rocket problem is resolved, so you can just march right up it like you would a normal area. Here are the 24 grunts that appear at the Trainer Tower:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L54 Weezing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L54 Arbok
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L54 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L54 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L54 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L54 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L54 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L54 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Weezing, L52 Weezing, L52 Golbat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Arbok, L52 Arbok, L52 Golbat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Weezing, L52 Weezing, L52 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Arbok, L52 Arbok, L52 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Weezing, L52 Weezing, L52 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Arbok, L52 Arbok, L52 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Swalot, L52 Swalot, L52 Weezing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Swalot, L52 Swalot, L52 Arbok
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Swalot, L52 Swalot, L52 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Swalot, L52 Swalot, L52 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Swalot, L52 Swalot, L52 Golbat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Swalot, L52 Swalot, L52 Golbat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Mightyena, L52 Mightyena, L52 Weezing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Mightyena, L52 Mightyena, L52 Arbok
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Mightyena, L52 Mightyena, L52 Golbat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Mightyena, L52 Mightyena, L52 Golbat
Once you've beaten all 24 grunts in the Trainer Tower area, head for the roof of the Trainer Tower. There, you'll find Prof. Sebastian standing next to a bag! Before you can do anything, Prof. Sebastian will battle you using this team:
Rocket Prof. Sebastian(M): L69 Magmar, L68 Houndoom, L68 Magcargo, L68 Salamence, L67 Cradily, L67 Exeggutor
Once Sebastian is defeated, he'll warn that the battleship in the harbor is very powerful before vanishing. Once Sebastian vanishes, it will be revealed that the bag was tied to a magnetic mechanism! Use the Taser on the magnetic mechanism to open the bag. Drew (yes, the same Drew from the anime) will emerge from the bag and explain his plight:
Drew and two other contest regulars were tricked into boarding Team Rocket's battleship by word of mouth of a contest at sea. When the three realized that there was no contest, it was already too late, the battleship had set sail. Jessie, James, and Sebastian stuffed Drew and the two others into bags just so the Quest Island plan wouldn't be interfered with. At this point, Drew offers his assitance in helping you get Team Rocket off of the island.
With Drew in tow, head back to the lobby of the Trainer Tower. Heal your Pokémon first, then arrange your party with the three Pokémon you want to use throughout this portion of the data in the first three slots. Once you walk out of the Trainer Tower, Drew will mention that you should only bring three Pokémon so that you and Drew can fight together in a Multi Battle; at this point, the Pokémon in slots 4, 5, and 6 will be automatically transported to the PC. If you made a mistake and a Pokémon you wanted to use got sent to the PC, just simply head back to the PC and make an exchange. Here's Drew's team of three:
[PK][MN] Coordinator Drew(M): L78* Roselia, L77* Masquerain, L75* Flygon
*--These are the maximum levels. If your starter is level 78 or higher, these are the levels of Drew's three. Otherwise, Roselia's level will equal your starter's, Masquerain's level will be 1 less than your starter's, and Flygon's level will be 3 less than your starter's. Also note that these levels will rise as the piece of data moves further along. If you don't have your starter on your cartridge or if your starter is below level 53, Drew's Pokémon will default to 53-52-50.
Now it's time to take on the Sevault Canyon. The entrance (Canyon Entrance) alone, however, is riddled with 24 more grunts, all but the last two will fight in a male-female Multi Battle pair (i.e. third male and third female are a pair). The last male will be fought with your character only, while the last female will be fought with Drew only.
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Mightyena, L52 Mightyena, L52 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Mightyena, L52 Mightyena, L52 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Golbat, L52 Golbat, L52 Weezing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Golbat, L52 Golbat, L52 Arbok
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Golbat, L52 Golbat, L52 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Golbat, L52 Golbat, L52 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Golbat, L52 Golbat, L52 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L52 Golbat, L52 Golbat, L52 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L53 Weezing, L53 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L53 Arbok, L53 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L53 Weezing, L53 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L53 Arbok, L53 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L53 Weezing, L53 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L53 Arbok, L53 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L53 Mightyena, L53 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L53 Mightyena, L53 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L53 Crobat, L53 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L53 Crobat, L53 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L53 Mightyena, L53 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L53 Mightyena, L53 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L53 Swalot, L53 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L53 Swalot, L53 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L49 Koffing, L49 Koffing, L49 Koffing, L49 Koffing, L49 Koffing, L49 Koffing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L49 Ekans, L49 Ekans, L49 Ekans, L49 Ekans, L49 Ekans, L49 Ekans
Once you've made it through the entrance, it's time to tackle the main portion of Sevault Canyon. It's riddled with 46 grunts. Here are the teams of the first 16, which will fight as eight male-female pairs in order:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L56 Weezing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L56 Arbok
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L56 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L56 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L56 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L56 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L56 Weezing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L56 Arbok
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L56 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L56 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L56 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L56 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L56 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L56 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L56 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L56 Mightyena
At this point, Drew will ask you to check out the cave while he checks out the rocky terrain. Once you're able to move without Drew, head for the Tanoby Key. (If you try to enter the Tanoby Key with Drew in tow, Drew will talk you out of it.)
The Tanoby Key is currently being inhabited by 6 more Team Rocket Grunts. The fifth one is a familiar face, he's the Rocket portion of the Castform Squad you faced on that scary elevator ride in Moon East Tower, using the same Hail-no adapter strategy as before. You will fight them all single battles, with your character only. Here are their teams:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Weezing, L52 Weezing, L52 Golbat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L49 Gulpin, L49 Gulpin, L49 Gulpin, L49 Gulpin, L49 Gulpin, L49 Gulpin
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L52 Swalot, L52 Swalot, L52 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L49 Zubat, L49 Zubat, L49 Zubat, L49 Zubat, L49 Zubat, L49 Zubat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L54 Castform
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena
Once you've defeated all 6 of the grunts in the Tanoby Key, control will switch back outside and to Drew. With Drew, it's time to explore the area with the Rock Smash rocks all over the place. Now you're controlling Drew and only Drew. Here are the 12 grunts you'll face with only Drew, all single battles:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Weezing, L55 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Arbok, L55 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Weezing, L55 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Arbok, L55 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Weezing, L55 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Arbok, L55 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Swalot, L55 Weezing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Swalot, L55 Arbok
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Mightyena, L55 Weezing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Mightyena, L55 Arbok
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Crobat, L55 Weezing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Crobat, L55 Arbok
Once all 12 of them are defeated, have Drew head back toward the Tanoby Key. Once Drew is within three spaces of the door, control will switch back to your character in the Tanoby Key. In the rear of the area, you'll find another bag with the same magnetic mechanism, similar to the one Drew was trapped in. Open it as before, and you'll find Robert! (Yes, the same Robert from the anime.) He'll ask if you're with Drew. When you reveal that you are, he'll thank you for freeing him and say that he'll be heading back to the Pokémon Center. Now exit the Tanoby Key and meet back up with Drew, who will say that he saw Robert walk out of the cave before you did. He'll then reveal that Robert was one of the two other trainers that was also tricked onto Team Rocket's battleship, and reveal that the other one is named Harley.
Once Drew's back in tow, you can now fight the other 18 trainers in Sevault Canyon as you make your way to the Tanoby Chambers. Two of the trainers, the third and fourth ones from the bottom, are inside the Chansey Dance house. Here are the teams of the last 18, who fight in nine male-female pairs in order:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Swalot, L55 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Swalot, L55 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Swalot, L55 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Swalot, L55 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Crobat, L55 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Crobat, L55 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Mightyena, L55 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Mightyena, L55 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Crobat, L55 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Crobat, L55 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Mightyena, L55 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Mightyena, L55 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Weezing, L55 Ariados
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Arbok, L55 Ariados
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Swalot, L55 Ariados
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Swalot, L55 Ariados
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Mightyena, L55 Ariados
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Mightyena, L55 Ariados
Once you've beaten every grunt in Sevault Canyon, you and Drew can finally head to the Tanoby Ruins. Problem is, Drew does not have a Pokémon that knows Surf! Since Drew can't follow you, he'll head back to the Pokémon Center and you'll fight the 14 grunts in the Tanoby Ruins area by yourself. The grunts work in pairs; the female goes into a chamber, while the male stays outside. Here are the teams of these grunts by chamber:
Monean Chamber:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Crobat, L55 Ariados
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Crobat, L55 Ariados
Liptoo Chamber:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Ariados, L55 Swalot
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Ariados, L55 Swalot
Weepth Chamber:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Ariados, L55 Weezing
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Ariados, L55 Arbok
Dilford Chamber:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Ariados, L55 Crobat
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Ariados, L55 Crobat
Scufib Chamber:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L55 Ariados, L55 Mightyena
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L55 Ariados, L55 Mightyena
Rixy Chamber:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L56 Ariados
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L56 Ariados
Viapois Chamber:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L51 Spinarak, L51 Spinarak, L51 Spinarak, L51 Spinarak, L51 Spinarak, L51 Spinarak
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L51 Spinarak, L51 Spinarak, L51 Spinarak, L51 Spinarak, L51 Spinarak, L51 Spinarak
Once you've cleared all seven chambers, head back to the Weepth Chamber. A bag with a magnetic mechanism will have appeared. Open the bag the same way you opened the ones that held Drew and Robert. Inside, you'll find Harley (yes, the same Harley from the anime). Harley will ask where Drew is. When you tell him Drew's at the Pokémon Center, he'll walk out of the chamber and head there himself, dropping the BROWN SHIP KEY in the process.
First, head back to the Pokémon Center. Drew, Robert, and Harley will all offer to help you take down Team Rocket aboard their battleship. At this point, Robert and Harley will leave the Pokémon Center and head for the battleship, while Drew will once again join up with you.
The Brown Ship Key is the key to unlock the door to Team Rocket's battleship. Head back to the ferry terminal on the island (heal at the Pokémon Center first). You'll find the grunt guarding it gone, but the door locked. Press A in front of the battleship to walk aboard. Welcome to the ROCKET BATTLESHIP.
Rocket Battleship
Dominant Team: Rocket
All battles in this portion of the data are against male-female grunt pairs in the order listed unless noted. Only your character can use a PC in this area; this is a safeguard against you depositing one of Drew's, Robert's, or Harley's Pokémon into the PC for you to use.
Once you and Drew are aboard, the door will lock behind you! Then you'll hear a ship's whistle--the ship is setting sail! If you try to use the door again, you'll find out that you don't have the key for it; check the Key Items Pocket and you'll find that your Brown Ship Key is no longer there. Anyway, you and Drew are in a small room with a PC, a Healing Station, and a staircase at the south side of the room leading downstairs. You won't be able to return to Quest Island, or anywhere else on the map for that matter, for quite awhile, so better get comfortable.
The Rocket Battleship has four levels with, except for B3F, two portions to three of them (you start on West 1F), each floor rather large; think of stacking 9 copies of Celadon City on each floor in a 3x3 grid, that's how big each floor is. Also, this battleship has many doors as well as several light bulbs, as well as wild Ekans and Koffing at levels 9, 12, 15, or 19 all over the ship. These light bulbs can be lit up using Flash. The light bulbs are switches that control the doors; when a light is lit, its corresponding doors are open. However, the light only lasts for one minute. There are no areas where you can get trapped since there's at least one light bulb near every door.
There are also what appear to be phone boothes. These are actually switching stations where you can switch characters around. The initial setup is your character in front position and Drew in rear position with Robert and Harley in reserve. How the stations work is: You'll be asked if you want to switch out rear position. If you say yes, you'll ask whether you want whichever of the two coordinators you weren't currently using. Pick a person and that person will step out of the booth; if you said no to the switch-out choice, the original rear position will step out of the booth. After handling rear postion, you'll then be asked if you want to switch out front posititon, allowing you to repeat the process with front positition. There is only one restriction: If you bring your character out, your character must always be in front position. An example: If it's your character and Drew, you can switch Drew for Robert, and then your character for Drew, resulting in Drew in front and Robert in back with your character and Harley in reserve. Here are Robert and Harley's initial teams:
[PK][MN] Coordinator Robert(M): L<ros> Milotic, L<mas> Claydol, L<flg> Ampharos
[PK][MN] Coordinator Harley(M): L<ros> Cacturne, L<mas> Banette, L<flg> Ariados
<ros> denotes the current level of Drew's Roselia at the time you boarded the Rocket Battleship. Likewise, <mas> denotes Drew's Masquerain's level and <flg> denotes Drew's Flygon's level upon boarding Rocket Battleship.
There are 40 Team Rocket Grunts on each floor (20 on each side) other than the fourth, which has 36 grunts. You must beat all of the grunts in an area to gain access to the next; the floor transitions are small rooms with the door to the chamber you just left to the top of one side and a staircase leading downstairs on the bottom of the same side, with a PC and a Healing Station. Here's the list of grunts you'll face on West 1F:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L57 Ariados

Once you've beaten all 20 grunts on East 1F, a teleporter tile will appear. You'll appear just outside the room you boarded the battleship from. Head inside, heal your Pokémon, use a switching station to put your character in front and Drew in back, then save your game. Once you're ready, a new path on the east side of East 1F, one that will be locked unless you have your character in front and Drew in back, will lead upstairs onto a deck. 2 pairs of 2 grunts each stand between you and Jessie and James. Here are the teams of the grunts:
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L61 Swalot, L61 Ariados
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L61 Swalot, L61 Ariados
Team Rocket Grunt(M): L61 Weezing, L61 Ariados
Team Rocket Grunt(F): L61 Arbok, L61 Ariados
Once you've beaten all of these grunts, Jessie and James will ask that the grunts leave, then they'll challenge you and Drew. Here's their very powerful team:
Rocket Admins Jessie&James(F/M): L69 Wobbuffet, L69 Cacturne, L68 Seviper, L68 Chimecho, L67 Dustox, L67 Meowth
Once you've defeated Jessie and James, they'll gasp in shock that you've managed to get by the entire top tier of Team Rocket! However, they're not content with letting you just get away from the battleship--which is why James pushes a button to blow up the boiler, then both proceed to fly away! The game will automatically save at this point. You have just 2 minutes to get back to the room where you entered the battleship from, or else you, Drew, Robert, and Harley will sink along with the battleship (the cutscene will show the battleship sinking beneath the waves, with a text box displaying the last phrase that is normally displayed whenever you lose a battle will come up, and you'll have to start the whole escape again from where you faced Jessie and James from with 2 minutes left to go and half of your money gone). All of the light bulbs are broken and the switching stations are gone, but that doesn't matter since all of the doors are open. In the room where you first boarded the battleship from, there's now a teleporter tile that leads to another part of the top deck, this time with a Fly tile. You'll meet up with Robert and Harley here. Use the Fly tile to trigger a cutscene. This cutscene will show your character and Robert flying away from the battleship, followed by Drew and Harley, then of the battleship sinking beneath the waves.
Once the cutscene is finished, everyone will return to the Pokémon Center on Quest Island. You'll be met by the fake Hiker as well as Koga. The fake Hiker will thank you for getting rid of the battleship so the ferry harboring the other female Team Flora Grunts can finally dock in the harbor, and will trade your Brown Gate Key for a TM26 before heading for the ferry terminal. Koga will thank you for completely driving Team Rocket out of the country, and will trade Skeleton Key F for a Mystic Ticket (or a Ganlon Berry if you already have the Mystic Ticket), before heading for the ferry terminal himself. At this point, Drew, Robert, and Harley will each thank you for helping them get rid of Team Rocket before they all leave. At this point, you can once again have 6 Pokémon in your party, so you can withdraw 3 from the PC.
Heal your Pokémon first. Now, use Fly to check if Fortune Island is now open. Unfortunately, it isn't. Get back on board the ferry. Set sail for Navel Rock.
Any possible progress to get to Lugia or Ho-Oh on Navel Rock, however, are blocked by large teal gates. If Koga gave you the Mystic Ticket before coming here, you'll find an item ball with a Ganlon Berry inside it just below the gate blocking the way to Ho-Oh. Checking with Fly, you'll find out that you're on page 3 of the Town Map, and that Chrono Island is open for business. Time to fly to Chrono Island.
Chrono Island
Dominant Team: Cipher
You'll land in front of the Pokémon Center as usual, only to find out that there's a purple gate on the water blocking access to the Water Labyrinth, another one blocking access to the meadow to the east, a giant battleship docked where the ferry should be, and all of the usual people not outside. None of the doors are locked, but it's business as usual inside all of the buildings...except for the ferry terminal and the Pokémon Center itself. In the former, you'll find a Cipher Peon standing in front of the battleship who won't battle you right now. Inside the latter, you'll find what appears to be a male Cooltrainer upstairs near the Union Room and everyone else (not including the nurse) talking about Team Cipher suddenly appearing in their large battleship and dispersing powerful peons all over the Water Labyrinth, Resort Gorgeous, Lost Cave, Rocket Warehose, and Memorial Pillar areas. Anyway, the one that appears to be the male Cooltrainer doesn't talk like one...The disguise comes off, revealing...
Team Flora Grunt(F): L53 Cacturne, L53 Mightyena
Once this grunt is defeated and male Cooltrainer is checked off on the Grunt Checklist, she'll talk about how Teala knew all along that she wasn't really a male Cooltrainer and elected to harbor her so that Farlie would never know she stowed away on the intial ferry! At this point, she'll change back into her male Cooltrainer disguise and ask that the people who saw this "spectacle" not to tell anyone and that Teala will harbor her until the harboring ferry can finally dock. In exchange for keeping her secret, she'll give you a PURPLE GATE KEY.
At this point, it appears nothing has changed on the island. In reality, things have changed. If you walk up to either of the purple gates that had blocked access to the north and east, that gate will suddenly disappear! It appears that the Purple Gate Key the fake male Cooltrainer gave you has the power to open Team Cipher's purple gates! It's time to head toward the Lost Cave.
Along the way, you'll encounter three peons in the Water Labyrinth, then three more at Resort Gorgeous. The last one at Resort Gorgeous blocks entry into the Lost Cave, and won't fight you unless you beat all five of the others. The second one at Resort Gorgeous is a familiar face, he's Sammy, the Cipher portion of the Castform Squad you faced on that scary elevator ride in Moon East Tower, using the same no weather-Dusk Adapter strategy as before provided he still has the Dusk Adapter (otherwise, he won't take advantage of the Forecast ability). If you didn't steal the Dusk Adapter in Moon East Tower, now's your chance to do so! Here are the teams of the peons in the Water Labyrinth and at Resort Gorgeous:
Cipher Peon Aaron(M): L52 Metang, L52 Metang, L52 Golbat
Cipher Peon Aisha(F): L49 Caterpie, L49 Weedle, L49 Venonat, L49 Paras, L49 Scyther, L49 Pinsir
Cipher Peon Brett(M): L52 Geodude, L52 Graveler, L52 Golem

Once you've beaten all 24 grunts in the Lost Cave, head back outside, only to be jumped by Ardos! Ardos will offer a challenge of a battle in the meadow to the east of town, then fly away. Head back to the Pokémon Center and heal your Pokémon. Unlock the other gate and head into the meadow...but no Ardos around. Huh. The meadow is free of peons except for one lone female one blocking entry into the Rocket Warehouse who won't battle you right now. Head for the Memorial Pillar area...only to find 14 Team Cipher Peons there. Here are their teams:
Cipher Peon Olaf(M): L56 Metagross
Cipher Peon Orsina(F): L56 Haunter
Cipher Peon Peter(M): L56 Dragonair

Cipher Peon Wanda(F): L55 Crobat, L55 Metang
Once you've beaten all 14 of these peons, head back to the Rocket Warehouse. The guard's gone. Enter, and you'll find 16 more grunts inside. Here are their teams:

Cipher Peon Ston(M): L56 Kingdra
Cipher Peon Baila(F): L51 Murkrow, L51 Sneasel, L51 Houndour, L51 Skarmory, L51 Steelix, L51 Scizor
Once you've beaten all 16 of these grunts, you'll find Ardos in the room where the scientist who stole the Sapphire once was. Here, Ardos will battle you:
Cipher Admin Ardos(M): L69 Gengar, L68 Alakazam, L68 Kingdra, L68 Starmie, L67 Aerodactyl, L67 Tauros
Once you've defeated Ardos, he'll give you the PURPLE SHIP KEY, then leave.
The Purple Ship Key is the key to unlock the door to Team Cipher's battleship. Head back to the ferry terminal on the island (heal at the Pokémon Center first). You'll find the peon guarding it gone, but the door locked. Press A in front of the battleship to walk aboard. Welcome to the CIPHER BATTLESHIP.
Cipher Battleship
Dominant Team: Cipher
Once you're aboard, the door will lock behind you! Then you'll hear a ship's whistle--the ship is setting sail! If you try to use the door again, you'll find out that you don't have the key for it; check the Key Items Pocket and you'll find that your Purple Ship Key is no longer there. Anyway, you're in a small room with a Healing Station and a staircase at the south side of the room leading downstairs. You won't be able to return to Chrono Island, or anywhere else on the map for that matter, for quite awhile, so better get comfortable.
The Cipher Battleship has four levels, each one rather large; think of stacking 6 copies of Celadon City on each floor in a 3x2 grid, that's how big each floor is. Also, this battleship has several kinds of traps aboard; Cut bushes, fog, and laser sensors. The laser sensors are the same kind that Team Flora used to make over the Celadon Gym into something more "manly". There are also 20 Cipher Peons on each floor other than the fourth, which has 18 peons. You must beat all of the peons on a floor to gain access to the next; the floor transitions are small rooms with the door to the chamber you just left to the top of one side and a staircase leading downstairs on the bottom of the same side, with a Healing Station. Here's the list of peons you'll face on 1F:

Once you've beaten all 18 peons on B3F, a teleporter tile will appear. You'll appear just outside the room you boarded the battleship from. Head inside and heal your Pokémon, then save your game. Once you're ready, a new path on the east side of 1F will lead upstairs onto a deck. 2 peons stand between you and Eldes. Here are the teams of the grunts:
Cipher Peon Ruben(M): L61 Arcanine, L61 Magcargo
Cipher Peon Kelly(F): L61 Metagross, L61 Magcargo
Once you've beaten both of these grunts, Eldes will ask that the grunts leave, then he'll challenge you himself. Here's his very powerful team:
Cipher Admin Eldes(M): L69 Metagross, L68 Gengar, L68 Flygon, L68 Ninjask, L67 Tauros, L67 Snorlax
Once you've defeated Eldes, he'll gasp in shock that you've managed to get by the entire top tier of Team Cipher! However, he's not content with letting you just get away from the battleship--which is why he pushes a button to blow up the boiler, then proceeds to fly away! The game will automatically save at this point. You have just 90 seconds to get back to the room where you entered the battleship from, or else you'll sink along with the battleship (the cutscene will show the battleship sinking beneath the waves, with a text box displaying the last phrase that is normally displayed whenever you lose a battle will come up, and you'll have to start the whole escape again from where you faced Tabitha from with 90 seconds left to go and half of your money gone). The laser sensors are gone, but the Cut bushes and fog are still there. In the room where you first boarded the battleship from, there's now a teleporter tile that leads to another part of the top deck, this time with a Fly tile. Use the Fly tile to trigger a cutscene. This cutscene will show your character flying away from the battleship, then of the battleship sinking beneath the waves.
Once the cutscene is finished, you will return to the Pokémon Center on Chrono Island. You'll be met by the fake male Cooltrainer as well as Sabrina. The fake male Cooltrainer will thank you for getting rid of the battleship so the ferry harboring the other female Team Flora Grunts can finally dock in the harbor, and will trade your Purple Gate Key for a TM29 before heading for the ferry terminal. Sabrina will thank you for completely driving Team Cipher out of the country, and will trade Skeleton Key S for a Salac Berry, before heading for the ferry terminal herself.
Heal your Pokémon first. You now have free access to all pages of the Town Map, albeit not all islands on them. If Blaine and/or Koga gave you tickets, they'll walk up to you and trade TMs for the tickets; Blaine will trade a TM50 for the Aurora Ticket, Koga will trade a TM06 for the Mystic Ticket. Any trace to any island accessed by any ticket you just returned will be removed from the Town Map.
However, your next destination does not require changing pages on the World Map. Using Fly, you'll find that you can now fly to Floe Island. Do so.
Floe Island
Dominant Team: Snagem
You'll land in front of the Pokémon Center as usual, only to find out that there's an orange gate blocking access to the waters leading to the Icefall Cave, a giant battleship docked where the ferry should be, and all of the usual people not outside. None of the doors are locked, but it's business as usual inside all of the buildings...except for the ferry terminal, the Pokémon Center itself, and Lorelei's house. At the ferry terminal, you'll find a member of Team Snagem standing in front of the battleship who won't battle you right now. In the Pokémon Center, everyone will be talking about Team Snagem suddenly appearing in their large battleship and dispersing powerful grunts all over the Icefall Cave area. In Lorelei's house, you'll find Lorelei and what appears to be a Youngster inside. Lorelei will talk about how very powerful trainers associated with the evil teams drove the Elite Four away from the Indigo Plateau, so she came home only to find the island under control of Team Snagem! The one that appears to be the Youngster doesn't talk like one...The disguise comes off, revealing...
Team Flora Grunt(F): L53 Exeggutor, L53 Mightyena
Once this grunt is defeated and Youngster is checked off on the Grunt Checklist, she'll talk about how Lorelei knew all along that she wasn't really a Youngster and elected to harbor her so that Farlie would never know she stowed away on the intial ferry! At this point, she'll change back into her Youngster disguise and ask that the people who saw this "spectacle" not to tell anyone and that Lorelei will harbor her until the harboring ferry can finally dock. In exchange for keeping her secret, she'll give you a ORANGE GATE KEY.
At this point, it appears nothing has changed on the island. In reality, things have changed. If you walk up to the orange gate that had blocked access to the waters leading to Icefall Cave, it will suddenly disappear! It appears that the Orange Gate Key the fake Youngster gave you has the power to open Team Snagem's orange gates!
However...there's a member of Team Snagem blocking entry to the Icefall Cave. Who won't battle you. There also appears to be what looks like a Battle Tent floating on a dock that wasn't there before. The sign in front of the tent reads:
MIROR B.'S MAZE GAME
Try your luck through the traps!
Lifetime passes available.
It appears that going anywhere else would lead to a dead end, so go inside. The first line of the sign is also the name of the inside area. The receptionist, who looks like a female Deep Dweller from transmittable data for Colosseum, will first talk about how her home was abandoned and, while other people decided to step into the light, she decided to stay in the shadows, hiding in any cave possible, until Miror B. found her in the boiler area of a cargo ship and promised her a reception job. Then she'll ask you if you wish to play, cost 1000 in money per try, and note that a lifetime pass will be issued to anyone who shows a Miror B. Emblem--the same Miror B. Emblem required to start the mission in the first place! Swap your Miror B. Emblem for the MAZE PASS, which is your lifetime pass. The receptionist will tell you that, from here on, just show the Maze Pass to her to enter a maze.
You'll have to clear six mazes, each with different traps and four members of Team Snagem each, in order to move on. The members will give experience and money. At the end of each area, you'll battle someone not affiliated with Team Snagem in order to clear the maze.
The first maze is filled with switches and Taser gates, both the yellow Taserable kind and the purple Taserproof kind. The switches will switch the polarity of any gate still active, that is yellow turns purple and vice versa; inactive gates will not turn back on. Here are the teams of the four Snagems you'll find here:
Team Snagem Alpho(M): L54 Skarmory
Team Snagem Bete(M): L54 Aipom
Team Snagem Gemma(M): L54 Crobat
Team Snagem Dilta(M): L54 Mightyena
Once you've beaten all four of the Snagems and made it to the exit of the first maze, you'll find your rival waiting, this time with a full team. Once you beat the rival, he'll give you a TM39. Here is his team:
[PK][MN] Trainer <rival>(M): L63 Medicham, L63 Camerupt, L63 Pelipper, L63 Cacturne, L63 Zangoose, L63 Seviper
The second maze is filled with light bulbs and doors that work in the same way as they did in Team Rocket's battleship. No changing stations, though. Again, there are four Snagems here. Here are the teams of the four Snagems you'll find here:
Team Snagem Opsilon(M): L52 Skarmory, L52 Skarmory, L52 Golbat
Team Snagem Zota(M): L52 Skarmory, L52 Skarmory, L52 Mightyena
Team Snagem Eti(M): L52 Skarmory, L52 Skarmory, L52 Houndoom
Team Snagem Thera(M): L52 Octillery, L52 Octillery, L52 Skarmory
Once you've beaten all four of the Snagems and made it to the exit of the second maze, you'll find Reath and Ferma waiting. You'll battle them with full teams, Reath first, then Ferma. Once Ferma's fallen, Reath will give you a TM03 while Ferma will give you a TM25. Here are their teams:
Miror B. Peon Reath(F): L62 Venomoth, L62 Marowak, L62 Glalie, L62 Pelipper, L62 Muk, L62 Mr. Mime
Miror B. Peon Ferma(F): L62 Parasect, L62 Clefable, L62 Torkoal, L62 Sharpedo, L62 Electabuzz, L62 Primeape
The third maze is filled with the same laser sensors found aboard the Cipher Battleship as well as Celadon Gym when Team Flora gave it a more "manly" makeover. Again, four Snagems lie in wait. Here are their teams:
Team Snagem Ioda(M): L52 Jumpluff, L52 Jumpluff, L52 Mightyena
Team Snagem Keppa(M): L52 Lanturn, L52 Lanturn, L52 Golbat
Team Snagem Lamnda(M): L52 Mightyena, L52 Mightyena, L52 Skarmory
Team Snagem Ku(M): L52 Mightyena, L52 Mightyena, L52 Golbat
Once you've beaten all four of the Snagems and made it to the exit of the third maze, you'll find Chobin, again without his Robo Groudon (I mean, come on, how are you going to fit a mech that big into a tent?). After Chobin chews you out (using E10+-rated dialogue) about how you wrecked the towers, he'll battle you. If you win, he'll give you a TM19. Here's Chobin's team:
Researcher Chobin(M): L63 Sunflora, L61 Dragonite, L62 Gyarados, L61 Scizor, L62 Jumpluff, L62 Tropius
The fourth maze is filled with motion-sensitive walls, the same kind as found at
Cloud's Reactor. Here, you'll also find four Snagems; however, you have to trigger a wall in order for one to approach you for a battle. Here are the teams of the Snagems:
Team Snagem Ni(M): L52 Mightyena, L52 Mightyena, L52 Delibird
Team Snagem Xo(M): L52 Golbat, L52 Golbat, L52 Skarmory
Team Snagem Omocron(M): L52 Golbat, L52 Golbat, L52 Mightyena
Team Snagem Pu(M): L52 Golbat, L52 Golbat, L52 Heracross
Once you've beaten all four of the Snagems and made it to the exit of the fourth maze, you'll find Folly and Trudly waiting. You'll battle them with full teams, Folly first, then Trudly. Once Trudly's fallen, Folly will give you a TM06 while Trudly give you a TM03. Here are their teams:
Miror B. Peon Folly(M): L62 Ludicolo, L62 Exploud, L62 Slowbro, L62 Primeape, L62 Magmar, L62 Piloswine
Miror B. Peon Trudly(M): L62 Ariados, L62 Dusclops, L62 Pidgeot, L62 Machamp, L62 Electrode, L62 Sudowoodo
The fifth maze is filled with Fuschia Gym-style invisible walls, again stocked with four Snagems. Here are their teams:
Team Snagem Rhi(M): L53 Skarmory, L53 Qwilfish
Team Snagem Sigme(M): L53 Skarmory, L53 Crobat
Team Snagem Tou(M): L53 Skarmory, L53 Mightyena
Team Snagem Upsilan(M): L53 Mightyena, L53 Quagsire
Once you've beaten all four of the Snagems and made it to the exit of the fifth maze, you'll find Megathug. Megathug will comment on how his contract with the people aboard the teal probe has expired, and will again battle you. Once he's fallen, he'll give you a TM38. Megathug uses this team:
Freelancer Megathug(M): L63 Arcanine, L63 Ninetales, L63 Golduck, L63 Cloyster, L63 Magneton, L63 Electrode
The sixth and final maze looks like a simple maze, but it is filled with a ton of wild Wynaut, Trapinch, and Diglett, all too abundant for Repel to keep away, and all with the Shadow Tag (Wynaut) or Arena Trap (Trapinch and Diglett) abilities. Again, four Snagems lie in ambush with these teams at the ready:
Team Snagem Fhi(M): L53 Crobat, L53 Noctowl
Team Snagem Cha(M): L53 Mightyena, L53 Crobat
Team Snagem Psu(M): L53 Xatu, L53 Crobat
Team Snagem Amega(M): L49 Skarmory, L49 Skarmory, L49 Skarmory, L49 Skarmory, L49 Skarmory, L49 Skarmory
Once you've beaten all four of the Snagems and made it to the exit of the final maze, you'll find Miror B. himself, commenting on how you got that far, but how you won't make the final step. Time to prove Miror B. wrong and claim a TM26 from him upon winning. Here is Miror B.'s team:
Wanderer Miror B.(M): L62 Jumpluff, L62 Shiftry, L63 Sudowoodo, L64 Ludicolo, L64 Ludicolo, L64 Ludicolo
Once Miror B. falls, you'll end up back outside the maze, Surfing on the left side of the dock, where Sabrina and two Workers Surf up to the scene. Sabrina will comment on how this would make a good attraction to Saffron City, and ask the workers to carry the tent and the dock to the boat. The workers will then push the dock away from the scene, with Sabrina right behind. You can visit Saffron City for a surprise after clearing Team Snagem from Floe Island.
Once the tent is out of the way, there will now be five more members of Team Snagem roaming around outside. The fifth one is a familiar face, he's Lars, the Snagem portion of the Castform Squad you faced on that scary elevator ride in Moon East Tower, using the same Sandstorm-Sand Adapter strategy as before, provided he still has the Sand Adapter (otherwise, he'll use Sandstorm but won't trigger the Forecast ability). If you didn't steal the Sand Adapter in Moon East Tower, now's your chance to do so! Here are their teams:
Team Snagem Lemmy(M): L52 Skarmory, L52 Skarmory, L52 Golbat
Team Snagem Lionel(M): L49 Ledyba, L49 Ledyba, L49 Ledyba, L49 Spinarak, L49 Spinarak, L49 Spinarak
Team Snagem Lobo(M): L52 Sudowoodo, L52 Sudowoodo, L52 Mightyena
Team Snagem Lurch(M): L49 Zubat, L49 Zubat, L49 Zubat, L49 Zubat, L49 Zubat, L49 Zubat
Team Snagem Lars(M): L54 Castform
Once you've defeated all five of the ones who had been roaming outside, the Team Snagem member guarding the entrance to the Icefall Cave will now battle you. Here's his team:
Team Snagem Lyon(M): L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena, L49 Poochyena
Once you've defeated Lyon, you be allowed to enter the Icefall Cave. There are 30 Team Snagem members inside. Here are the teams of each and every one:
Team Snagem Elpha(M): L56 Skarmory
Team Snagem Bota(M): L56 Misdreavus
Team Snagem Ganma(M): L56 Kingdra
Team Snagem Delfa(M): L56 Skarmory

The 29th and 30th ones are in the area where you can find wild Lapras. You can only fight those two once all 28 of the others have been defeated. Once you defeat all 30 grunts, the last one you fought will drop an ORANGE SHIP KEY where that grunt stood; use Itemfinder to dig it up.
The Orange Ship Key is the key to unlock the door to Team Snagem's battleship. Head back to the ferry terminal on the island (heal at the Pokémon Center first). You'll find the grunt guarding it gone, but the door locked. Press A in front of the battleship to walk aboard. Welcome to the SNAGEM BATTLESHIP.
Snagem Battleship
Dominant Team: Snagem
Once you're aboard, the door will lock behind you! Then you'll hear a ship's whistle--the ship is setting sail! If you try to use the door again, you'll find out that you don't have the key for it; check the Key Items Pocket and you'll find that your Orange Ship Key is no longer there. Anyway, you're in a small room with a Healing Station and a staircase at the south side of the room leading downstairs. You won't be able to return to Floe Island, or anywhere else on the map for that matter, for quite awhile, so better get comfortable.
The Snagem Battleship has four levels, each one rather large; think of stacking 6 copies of Celadon City on each floor in a 3x2 grid, that's how big each floor is. Also, this battleship has doors and Fly tiles. Use Fly on these Fly tiles to ram a switch on the ceiling and open the door. There are also 20 Team Snagem members on each floor other than the fourth, which has 18 Snagems. You must beat all of the Snagems on a floor to gain access to the next; the floor transitions are small rooms with the door to the chamber you just left to the top of one side and a staircase leading downstairs on the bottom of the same side, with a Healing Station. Here's the list of Snagems you'll face on 1F:

Once you've beaten all 18 grunts on B3F, a teleporter tile will appear. You'll appear just outside the room you boarded the battleship from. Head inside and heal your Pokémon, then save your game. Once you're ready, a new path on the east side of 1F will lead upstairs onto a deck. 2 Snagems stand between you and Wakin. Here are the teams of the grunts:
Team Snagem Fudlo(M): L61 Golem, L61 Rhydon
Team Snagem Biden(M): L61 Skarmory, L61 Bellossom
Once you've beaten both of these grunts, Wakin will ask that the Snagems leave, then he'll challenge you himself. Here's his very powerful team:
Team Snagem Wakin(M): L69 Vileplume, L68 Sceptile, L68 Blaziken, L68 Swampert, L67 Gardevoir, L67 Swellow
Once you've defeated Wakin, he'll gasp in shock that you've managed to get by the entire top tier of Team Snagem! However, he's not content with letting you just get away from the battleship--which is why he pushes a button to blow up the boiler, then proceeds to fly away! The game will automatically save at this point. You have just 90 seconds to get back to the room where you entered the battleship from, or else you'll sink along with the battleship (the cutscene will show the battleship sinking beneath the waves, with a text box displaying the last phrase that is normally displayed whenever you lose a battle will come up, and you'll have to start the whole escape again from where you faced Wakin from with 90 seconds left to go and half of your money gone). Most of the doors are open and their Fly tiles are gone, but there are still some closed doors, a Fly tile that corresponds to a door that didn't open is still there. In the room where you first boarded the battleship from, there's now a teleporter tile that leads to another part of the top deck, this time with a Fly tile. Use the Fly tile to trigger a cutscene. This cutscene will show your character flying away from the battleship, then of the battleship sinking beneath the waves.
Once the cutscene is finished, you will return to the Pokémon Center on Floe Island. You'll be met by the fake Youngster as well as Misty. The fake Youngster will thank you for getting rid of the battleship so the ferry harboring the other female Team Flora Grunts can finally dock in the harbor, and will trade your Orange Gate Key for a TM01 before heading for the ferry terminal. Misty will thank you for completely driving Team Snagem out of the country, and will trade Skeleton Key C for a Petaya Berry, before heading for the ferry terminal herself.
Heal your Pokémon first, then head to the ferry terminal and return to Vermillion City from there. From there, head to Saffron City.
The Tent Game Surprise
Dominant Teams: None
Sure enough, the tent that Sabrina had brought in from Floe Island has been placed to the left of the house (the one with the letter regarding PP Up) in the left-side alley behind Silph Co. The sign outside reads "Saffron Maze Game" where it had read "Miror B.'s Maze Game" before. Inside, you'll find a few people walking around the lobby talking about the challenge of the mazes as well as a receptionist. Believe it or not, it's the same receptionist as before, only this time she looks like a Pokémon Center 2F receptionist rather than a Deep Dweller. The receptionist will tell you that, thanks to Sabrina, she's now found permanent residence in Saffron City and a job running the maze game. Again, she'll recognize your Maze Pass and let you into a maze. This time, there are more mazes with seven random trainers with pre-set lineups in each maze. Right now, though, challenges will be halted once you clear 13 mazes in a row. If you faint while in a maze, you'll have to challenge the game from the first maze all over again. No experience or money is gained in the mazes, but you'll recieve a cash stake upon completing a maze. Note that if a maze is said to be from Floe Island originally, it was a maze present when Miror B. ran the tent; if a maze is said to be from the Battle Resort originally, it was part of the
Battle Frontier Takeover piece of transmittable data in Emerald. Here is the order of the mazes:
1st Maze: Taser Gates with Polarity-Reversing Switches (same as first maze on Floe Island)
Origin: Taser Gates, R/S/E DS-transmittable data, Space Station; Switches, FR/LG DS-transmittable data, Floe Island 1st Maze
2nd Maze: Trap Doors with Switches (same as first maze at Battle Resort)
Origin: R/S/E Trick House
3rd Maze: Doors with Light Bulbs (same as second maze on Floe Island)
Origin: FR/LG DS-transmittable data, Rocket Battleship
4th Maze: Red/Blue Doors and Switches (same as second maze at Battle Resort)
Origin: R/S/E Trick House
5th Maze: Laser Sensors (same as third maze on Floe Island)
Origin: FR/LG DS-transmittable data, Celadon Gym (Flora Makeover)
6th Maze: Turnstiles (same as third maze at Battle Resort)
Origin: R/S/E Fortree Gym
7th Maze: Motion-Sensitive Walls (same as fourth maze on Floe Island)
Origin: Cloud's Reactor Enigma Island
8th Maze: Mossdeep Gym-style Arrows from Emerald (same as fourth maze at Battle Resort)
Origin: Emerald Mossdeep Gym
9th Maze: Invisible Walls (same as fifth maze on Floe Island)
Origin: FR/LG Fuschia Gym
10th Maze: Warp Tiles (same as fifth maze at Battle Resort)
Origin: FR/LG Silph Co.
11th Maze: Wild Pokémon Maze 1 (same as sixth maze on Floe Island)
Origin: Emerald Battle Pike
12th Maze: Ice Floors (same as sixth maze at Battle Resort)
Origin: R/S/E Shoal Cave; FR/LG Icefall Cave
13th Maze: Fly Tiles with Doors (new maze based on Snagem Battleship obstacle)
Origin: FR/LG DS-transmittable data, Snagem Battleship
14th Maze: Yet to be unlocked
15th Maze: Yet to be unlocked
16th Maze: Yet to be unlocked
17th Maze: Yet to be unlocked
18th Maze: Yet to be unlocked
After clearing each maze, you'll be given a cash stake and a TM, similar to a Colosseum knockout challenge. Once you've unlocked all 18 mazes, you'll return to the first maze after clearing the 18th.
The remaining mazes will be unlocked as this piece of data continues. For now, sail back to Quest Island and fly to Fortune Island from there.
(To be continued next post...)
