Eterna Forest

Right at the beginning of Eterna Forest, a woman named Cheryl will join you and ask you to go through the forest with her, because she is afraid of Team Galactic. She has only one Pokémon, a Lv. 15 Chansey. Unlike Viridian Forest, there is only one path through the forest. There are four pairs of trainers in the forest, Bug Catcher Jack and Lass Brianna, Psychic Lindsey and Psychic Elijah, Bug Catcher Philip and Bug Catcher Donald, and Psychic Kody and Psychic Rachael. At the end of Eterna Forest the Old Chateau can be found. It can only be accessed by the move Cut. A Rotom is found inside one of the rooms on the top floor in a TV.

Note that the double battles will be wild as well. To catch one Pokémon, you must KO the other, otherwise it is impossible to aim. You can come back after Cheryl is escorted, and then wild battles are single.

Route 205 (Part Two)

Once you exit Eterna Forest, you will come along a short path where there will be a bridge and a few Fishermen fishing, so they will only battle if you talk to them. There will also be a large patch of tall grass, though there are no new Pokémon to catch here, but there will be a Potion to pick up there. When you get through the grass, there is a patch of Berries to pick. There is also another honey tree and some Honey hidden behind it. You will reach Eterna Forest by going further east.

Eterna City

Firstly, it is reccomended you heal your Pokémon, as they may be hurt after you battle through Route 205 and Eterna Forest. Before you go and challenge Gardenia at the Gym, there is plenty to do in Eterna City. In the Eterna Condominiums, on the first floor, is the Name Rater, who will let you change your Pokémon's nickname, as well as a boy called Norton, who will trade a Chatot for a Buizel, and on the second floor a woman who gives away TM67 (Recycle). There is also the Underground House by the Pokémon Center, where you can get the Explorer Kit. Also, in the Poké Center is a woman who will give you the Friendship Checker, Pokétch app number 6. Also, there is a Herb Shop, where you can buy healing herbs which lower your Pokémon's friendship. It might be a good idea to buy some Revival Herbs, as they revive your Pokémon. If you go just outside the Galactic Eterna Building, a woman in black named Cynthia will appear. She will recognize you as working for Professor Rowan, and tell you she is looking into Pokémon mythology. She also gives you HM01(Cut), but you cannot use this out of battle without the Forest Badge. After this, go to the Eterna Gym.

Eterna Gym

Talk to Gardenia, the Gym Leader standing by the door, and she'll tell you that you have to take her challenge before battling her, which consists of finding, and battling four Trainers in the Gym, going across the floral clock, which turns each time you finish battling a trainer. It eventually leads to Gardenia. The first Trainer is located by the Gym Leader's area (north of start). You can find her in the first branch to the left, then moving south a little bit. The second one can be found by making your way down the left-most corridor, at the dead-end. The third is hiding behind the three small trees near the entrance to the room. And lastly, the final Trainer, is in the very northeastern-most corner, which is accessable by taking the first right from the entrance all the way to the end. After defeating all four of them, Gardenia will appear in the northern area of the room. Gardenia is a grass-type trainer so if you started with Chimchar this should be an easier gym. If not, try and raise a higher-leveled flying Pokémon. The trainers teams and rewards are as follows:

Trainer	Pokémon
