POKEMON GOLD AND SILVER WALKTHROUGH
Olivine City
Now that you have the Fog Badge and Surf, there's a few things you can do around the place. You may have noticed that you can gain access to the Tin Tower (At the north-east end of town), but there'll be a monk there guarding the stairs to the first level. You'll need to return when you have the Rainbow Wing.
And now that you have Surf, you can go some places that you haven't been to and get some good items or strong Pokemon. At this stage, you can head to Mt Mortar and Mahogany Town to the east, but this will be covered later. More opportunities for treasure hunting will be covered when you get HM04 - Strength and HM02 - Fly.
Head west from Ecruteak City all the way until you reach a house with some Miltank grazing in the grass outside. Use your Itemfinder to grab a hidden Nugget among the Miltank. You'll find out from the owners that they have a sick Miltank that won't produce any MooMoo Milk, so head next door where their two kids are and feed the Miltank seven Berries (There's a Berry bush near the Ecruteak West Gatehouse). Talk to the farmer's wife and she'll give you TM13 - Snore as a token of appreciation.
Continue south to Olivine City, where, on approaching the Gym, your rival will appear and tell you that the Gym Leader's in the Lighthouse. First of all, head to the Pokemon Center and heal up. Next door, talk to the sailor to get HM04. If today is Monday, you can head out to the west by the rocks and the sea to find Monica, who will give you a Sharp Beak. This hold-item boosts the power of Flying type moves by 10%. You can also get a Good Rod if you visit the house next to the PokeMart (Try fishing by the port), and a man in the northeast end of town will trade a Voltorb for your Krabby. But to advance with the story, head into the tall structure in the southeast end of town.
The path to the top is very easy, but you'll be met with many trainers along the way. The black pits you see will drop you to the level below. You'll get to a level where there will be two black pits - head right and walk right around the lighthouse past a sailor and climb the stairs there. You'll be able to get TM34 - Swagger and a Rare Candy on this level. Head down back to where your path split and head left and down the pit. You should land in a little room with a sailor and an ether. Continue up the stairs, grabbing a Great Ball along the way, and you'll eventually reach a room where Jasmine is nursing a sick Ampharos. When you talk to her, she'll ask you to go to Cianwood City to get some medicine. Before leaving the lighthouse, grab the Super Potion to the left of the room.
Cianwood City
To get to Cianwood City, head west of Olivine's Pokemon Center and start Surfing. Travel in a south westerly direction and you should reach land. If you're having trouble, just follow the barriers. You'll be fighting trainers, Tentacool and Tentacruel along the way.
On arriving at Cianwood City, check out some of the houses - you can get a picture taken of your Pokemon which can then be printed out using the Gameboy Printer Peripheral; a boy will give you a Shuckle on loan (But you don't really have to return it) and finally in the southern-most house, you can get a SecretPotion for Amphy back in Olivine City. But your quest isn't done yet - head to the Gym of Chuck, the fighting Pokemon master.
Cianwood City Gym
Make sure you bring along someone that knows HM04 - Strength. The puzzle is quite esay, but if you're stuck, push the left and right boulders up one space, then shift the center boulder to the left (or right) out of the way.

| This should be an easy battle. Any Flying, Ghost or Psychic types will breeze through the battle. For Poliwrath, you can use a Grass or Electric type to take advantage of its Water-half. The only major threat is Poliwrath's Hypnosis, and confusion caused by DynamicPunch, but it hits only 50% of the time anyway. |
Chuck will reward you with the Storm Badge when you defeat him, which makes all Pokemon under level 70 obey you, and allows your Pokemon to use HM02 - Fly outside of battle. You'll also get TM01 - DynamicPunch, which is a hard hitting Fighting move that always causes confusion, but is 50% accurate.
Treasure Hunting
Once the battle is over, talk to the lady walking outside the Cianwood Gym, who is in fact Chuck's wife. She'll reward you with HM02 - Fly, so you can teach it to one of your Pokemon and be taken to any town or city you've visited previously. This makes treasure hunting a lot easier, as you can quickly return to earlier towns and get to new places with your new HMs. These quests can be taken at any time. Check out the guides for Ruins of Alph, Union Cave and Mt Mortar. You can also grab a few good items -
- New Bark Town: By now, Togepi should have hatched from the egg you got from Violet City. Return to Prof Elm with the news and he'll give you an Everstone.
- Cherrygrove City: Surf across the water at the southwest end of town and talk to the fisherman to get a Mystic Water which powers up Water-type moves by 10%.
- Violet City: Surf across the water behind the Pokemon Academy to get a Rare Candy, and also Surf behind the Gym to get a PP Up.
- Azalea Town: In Slowpoke's Well, use Strength on the boulder and Surf over the water to get to the ladder. In the next room, a man on the left ledge will give you a King's Rock, while the item on the right ledge is TM18 - Rain Dance. Don't forget that Kurt can make custom Pokeballs for you!
- Route 34: Surf south on the water opposite the Breeding Center. You'll come across a secret area with three trainers - talk to Kate, the bottom one, to get a Soft Sand once you beat her. Soft Sand powers up Ground-type moves by 10%.
- Ecruteak City: At the Burned Tower, use Rock Smash on the rock to the right, then drop down the hole to the north. Use Strength to get TM20 - Endure.
Of course, you can fly back to meet the Once-A-Week Siblings to get their items if you missed them. You should have met them all apart from Wesley and Santos.

You can always leave this to later. Head back to the lighthouse and give Jasmine the SecretPotion. She'll thank you and return to the Gym.
Olivine City Gym
There aren't any trainers or puzzles, so just head up to the platform and challenge Jasmine.
Jasmine will reward you with the Mineral Badge when you defeat her, which raises your Pokemon's Defense stat. You'll also get TM23 - Iron Tail, which is a good Steel move that can lower your opponent's defense.
