At Lake Valor, the player encounters the last one of Team Galactic's Commanders, Saturn, but is too late to stop him from capturing the Legendary lake guardian Azelf before he has the team retreat from the lake. Professor Rowan dispatches the player to investigate Lake Valor, while Lucas/Dawn and Barry do the same with Lake Verity and Lake Acuity, respectively. Once the player has earned their sixth Badge from Roark's father Byron in the city of Canalave, a massive explosion caused by Team Galactic at Lake Valor shakes the entire region. After the fourth Badge has been earned in Pastoria City, the player encounters Cynthia once again and visits her grandmother in her hometown of Celestic, before returning to Hearthome City to challenge its now-reopened Gym.

Traveling through Mount Coronet to reach eastern Sinnoh, the player encounters a mysterious man named Cyrus and passes through Hearthome City, where the local Gym is closed for the moment, forcing the player to continue traveling, until they make their way to Veilstone City, wherein they can earn their next Badge. After thwarting their schemes, the player travels through Eterna Forest to reach Eterna City, where they encounter a fellow Trainer named Cynthia, earn their second Badge, and confront Team Galactic's second Commander, Jupiter, at the Team Galactic Eterna Building. The player later encounters them again in Floaroma Town, where they attempt to take over the Valley Windworks power plant with the lead of one of the organizations Commanders, Mars. On a return trip to Jubilife City, the player has their first run-in with Team Galactic, whose members try to harass Professor Rowan for his research notes. The player first travels to Oreburgh City and defeats the local Gym Leader Roark as their first step on their road to win a Badge from every Sinnoh League Gym. Later visiting Professor Rowan's laboratory in Sandgem Town, the player and Barry are allowed to keep the Pokémon they used and start their respective Pokémon journeys with them. When the player and Barry examine it, they are attacked by a pair of wild Starly, forcing them to pick a Poké Ball each from inside the briefcase and use the starter Pokémon within them to fend off the Starly. Instead, however, they briefly encounter Pokémon Professor Rowan and his assistant, Lucas/ Dawn, as they leave the site and accidentally leave behind Professor Rowan's briefcase. These are the first core series games not to be developed directly by Game Freak.Īfter witnessing a news broadcast about the Red Gyarados being sighted at the Johto region's Lake of Rage, the player and their childhood friend Barry venture to the nearby Lake Verity to see if they can see one there too.
