After defeating Bianca, continue to Striaton City, location of the first Gym in Unova. Take some time to heal at the Pokémon Center.

The first thing you will notice is that the Gym is blocked by a shady-looking man. Talking to him doesn't help, so explore a little bit. Head west into the Pokémon Academy. Like most other Pokémon Academies in the history of the games, this one is home to a blackboard detailing all of the status conditions (Burn, Freeze, etc.). Reading the blackboard, next to you, is your good friend, Cheren. He will battle you.

After you defeat him, he will give you an Oran Berry, which can heal 10HP. Give it to one of your weaker Pokémon, as they automatically consume it (without wasting a turn) when their health drops below a certain point. Useful, right?

Leave the Academy. Head back to the Gym, and you will notice that the shady man has been replaced by none other than the Gym Leader you are going to face! Talk to him, and he will head back into his gym. Follow him in.

Wait before entering the Gym! Before you enter the gym, know this: the gym leader you will face (either Cilan, Chili, or Cress) is determined by your starter; you will get the one with the Pokémon strong against your starter. Unfortunately, unlike Cheren's, these Pokémon are reasonably strong and can devastate your starter with one of its elemental attacks. However, the game designers throw you a lifeline here: head to the Dreamyard (see the section below) to receive the elemental monkey (Pansage, Panpour, or Pansear) that is strong against the gym leader's monkey (i.e. weak to your own starter).

After the battle, either Cilan, Chili, or Cress will give you the Trio Badge, your first Unova Gym Badge! Congratulations! You'll also receive TM83, Work Up, which raises Attack and Special Attack by one stage each. You'll also be able to use HM01, Cut, outside of battle.

As soon as you leave the gym, a strange lady named Fennel will escort you over to her house, where she will introduce herself. She will then proceed to give you what you've been waiting for - the first HM of the game, Cut. Her friend introduces herself as Amanita, designer of the Unova PC. This version of the PC has a feature known as the Battle Box, which allows entire teams to be quickly withdrawn or deposited from the PC. After you finish up, head to the Dreamyard.

According to the anime, the Dreamyard was once a massive laboratory dedicated to the pursuit of alternative energy sources from Dream Mist, a substance the Pokémon Musharna emits. However, due to the evil intentions of some of the scientists, Musharna outputted so much power that the entire place was leveled and the scientists (including Fennel) were forced to bid a hasty retreat and pursue other lucrative opportunities. The location is now a rather desolate ruin. However, it's still a hotbed of activity. Fight the two trainers at the beginning, and then talk to the girl at the end of the path to receive an elemental monkey! If you haven't defeated the Striaton Gym yet, go do so now by training your newly-caught monkey in Route 2. However, if you've already conquered the Gym, head over to the tree blocking your way, and cut it down.

As soon as you try to enter, none other than Bianca appears. This time, she's not looking for a battle; instead, she's amazed at the beauty and mystery of the place. A little suspiciously, the two of you head deeper in. In the middle of the clearing, a Munna is floating there! It lets out a weak moan and floats back towards the ruins. You and Bianca approach it, amazed, when suddenly two Team Plasma grunts show up and start harassing Munna. Whip out your Poké balls and get ready for a fight!

Team Plasma
Trainer Pokémon Team Plasma Grunt Reward: $400 Patrat♂ Lv.10 No item Team Plasma Grunt Reward: $400 Purrloin♀ Lv.10 No item

After defeating them, a small cutscene plays wherein two Ghetsises appear and berate the grunts for harming Pokémon. The two Ghetsis' combine into the real Ghetsis and starts yelling again. The two, scared out of their wits, disappear. Suddenly, a Musharna, possibly the parent of the Munna, appears and comforts the child. The Munna becomes Bianca's and the Musharna vanishes, leaving behind a strange Poké ball containing the enigmatic Dream Mist. Fennel grabs this and disappears. Find all of the items and return to Fennel's laboratory.

When you enter, Fennel is so tremendously happy that she finally acquired a perfect Dream Mist that she decides to reward her savior (namely, you) with the coolest device ever - the C-Gear. This is a small mini-application that opens in your touchscreen that allows you to connect to someone's (or up to three someones') DS and play in their game. Cool, right? (For more information, see the article or the appendix.) Finally, Amanita will hand over the Pal Pad, which allows you to save Friend Codes.

With Trio Badge, elemental monkey, HM01, Pal Pad, and C-Gear in hand, it's finally time to bid a fond farewell to Striaton and venture into Unova Route 3.
