Icirrus City
Immediately upon exiting, Prof. Juniper's dad comes over, checks out your Pokemon, asks you a question (don't know what), and then heads to the north into the city. Hmmm...
The Pokemon Center is to the north. Might as well go there to heal up your Pokemon. There's actually a lot of interest in the Pokemon Center here!
Get more gold for your gold!
The gentleman in a suit standing by the counter of the Pokemon Center is interested in buying rare items for high prices. You can sell him things like Nuggets, Pearls, Big Pearls, Evolutionary Stones, etc. for at least double what you would normally get for them in a Poke Mart! You're not going to get a higher price for them, so unless you're planning on using them (i.e., Evolutionary Stones), unload your wares to this guy and pick up some extra benjamins for your junk!
Additionally, the bottom counter at the Poke Mart has some more TMs for sale! These ones are pricey, inaccurate, but also pretty darn powerful if they hit.
- TM14 (Blizzard) for $70000
- TM25 (Thunder) for $70000
- TM38 (Fire Blast) for $70000
Blizzard becomes 100% accurate if you've got Hail going (which you can buy a TM for in Mistralton City), and Thunder becomes 100% accurate if it's raining out (again, the TM is for sale in Mistralton), so keep that in mind when buying them. Fire Blast actually has passable accuracy at 85% for a whopping 120 power, so it's probably the most important of the ones to pick up for now, although you very well may want Blizzard for the 8th Gym, where Dragon-types are abound.
The fun doesn't stop there in this Pokemon Center! Talk to the old lady in the lobby and she'll give you TM31 (Brick Break), which is a staple Fighting-type attack that a variety of Pokemon can learn.
As for the rest of town, far to the east of the Pokemon Center, across the bridge, are a hidden Ultra Ball and Timer Ball. You can also catch some pretty neat Pokemon down in the pond down on the south side of town. There's also a Max Revive cleverly hidden in there somewhere.

Anyway, head to the northern part of town and one of the houses in the northwestern side, sort of by an empty pit and the dancing people, well... I think it's a Pokemon fan club of some sort. But it's pretty small. The lady inside with the Munna tells you how happy your Pokemon is towards you. You can also talk to the gentleman and show him your Pokemon to hear what level it was at when you first got it and what level it's at now. If you've raised a Pokemon's level up 25 to 49 levels (from when you first obtained it), you'll get an Exp. Share; if you raised it up 50 to 98 levels (from when you first obtained it), you'll get a Cleanse Tag; or if you have raised a Pokemon up 99 levels from when you hatched it from an Egg, you'll get aKing's Rock.
When you enter another house north of that, and a little east, you'll find yourself forced into some kinda quiz thingy where you need to input the correct answer. The prizes aren't great or anything, though, so don't worry.
Winter in Icirrus City!
When it's winter, Icirrus City has a few more extra goodies you can pick up. First of all, just to the west of the Pokemon Center, over by the dancing kids, there's a Rare Candy waiting for you across that little dip of snow. There's also a Max Potion hiding in the dip itself, which you can find with your Item Finder.
In the southeastern corner of town, there's a house you can access with some people in it. The girl inside will give you a RageCandyBar when you talk to her (which you should save until later, or take to the Darmanitan statues back in the Desert Resort right now if you want one with Zen Mode). And the biker guy in there used to be a member of Team Rocket, apparently, and he sort of speaks broken English.
Alright, whenever you're done, head to the Gym!
Icirrus Gym
Start up by talking to Clyde to get your daily offering of Fresh Water, then get ready for the puzzle.
This isn't your totally generic sliding puzzle, oh, no; instead, you'll be sliding at angles and stuff, thanks to some of the bumper things. Yeah, weird. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it, as I usually do!
- Start by walking directly north, which well send you against the bumper and over onto the ice.
- Slide to the right and fight the Black Belt there with his two Cubchoo L35 and a CryogonalL35.
- Press the red switch and then slide forward across the ice.
- Fight the Battle Girl and her Cryogonal L37.
- Climb the stairs, then slide across the ramp to another Black Belt. He uses a single Cubchoo L37.
- Slide to the right, then up, then right, and then up.
- Battle against the Battle Girl. She has a Cubchoo L36 and a Vanillish L36.
- Slide directly south from the Battle Girl, then to the right.
- Walk across the steady ground and then slide to the left in the direction the track is pointing. You'll twist on over to the southeast part of the Gym.
- Slide up to hit the switch and rotate the bumper.
- Slide up, then left so you're back by the Battle Girl.
- Slide down in the direction the track is pointing, right into the bumper, letting it knock you over to the northwest corner of the room.
- Climb the stairs, cross the jump via the ice slide, and then take on another Battle Girl. This one has two Vanillish L36.
- Slide to the left, then up, hitting the bumper and knocking you over to the side.
- Slide right, up, then right again so you hit the bumper once more, but from a different angle.
- Slide up, walk across the stable ground, then fight against the Black Belt. He uses a Vanillish L36 and a Cubchoo L36.
- Press the red switch nearby, slide to the right, then slide down to be knocked to the corner by the bumper.
- Now, slide left, then down, and then right back into the bumper by sliding left again.
- Just slide up and you're set!
Once you've gotten through that puzzle, which isn't really as difficult as it may look here, you can fight the Gym Leader or take the slide down and exit the Gym. If you are in need of healing your Pokemon, now would be a great time to do so. Otherwise, save your game (just in case), and get ready to take on the seventh Gym Leader!
| Marriland's Pokemon Team at this point | |||
 | Samurott Lv. 42 |  | Stoutland Lv. 41 |
 | Gigalith Lv. 42 |  | Conkeldurr Lv. 41 |
 | Sigilyph Lv. 41 |  | Fraxure Lv. 41 |
Brycen's Pokemon are nothing remarkable, but Beartic is definitely the most cumbersome to deal with due to its high stats and fairly high level. Remember, all of his Pokemon have an obscene amount of common weaknesses: Fire-, Fighting-, Rock-, and Steel-type attacks will all quickly shatter his team.
After beating him, he'll give you the Freeze Badge, which will enable traded Pokemon up to level 80 to obey you without any problems. He'll also give you TM79 (Frost Breath), a weak Ice-type move at first glance, but it is very powerful in the fact that it always scores a critical hit against the target!
Now that you're done with that, go ahead and take the slide to the west to quickly (and stylishly) get out of the Gym.
Immediately upon exiting the Icirrus Gym, Cheren and Bianca will be outside to greet you. They say some stuff about Nuvema Town, but then Brycen pops out after a bit more dialogue.
Things suddenly get dicey when those three shadowy figures show up from earlier in the Chargestone Cave — the Shadow Triad! They're telling you that Ghetsis is waiting for you in the Dragonspiral Tower, as is N. Or something regarding those guys and that tower. Cheren and Brycen quickly head for the Dragonspiral Tower, while Bianca stays behind, seeming rather worried.
Go ahead and heal up your Pokemon, then head north to the Dragonspiral Tower!
