I went south from Blackthorn City to head home to New Bark Town. I fought a Hiker along Route 45, and Seth grew to Level 36. I continued further south, grabbed a Max Potion, and found myself against an Ace Trainer. Seth took down her Marill easily, then her Wartortle was knocked out by Edward, and he grew to Level 37. Edward learned Discharge in place of Shock Wave, then he knocked out another Wartortle before the battle was over.
I found a Full Heal, a Nugget, and a Revive as I continued south, then I fought against another Hiker. His Diglet and Dugtrio both went down easily against Lucas, then I found myself on Route 46 and in a Double Battle against a pair of Picnickers. The battle ended quickly in victory, and Lucas grew to Level 36, then he evolved into Pidgeot!
I went further south, then east, and soon found myself back home at New Bark Town. I visited Mom, relaxed a bit, then I went to Professor Elm's lab. Lyra was there waiting for me, happy to see that I had gotten all 8 Gym Badges. She led me to Professor Elm, who was waiting for me. He told me his research was going great thanks to me, and handed over a Master Ball in thanks. He told me that it's only given to Pokemon Researchers, but he thought I could do a lot more with it than he could.
Elm told me that the Kimono Girls were looking for me, and Lyra told me that people were talking about me. She heard I had helped the Kimono Girls, and many other people, and she told me she was proud to be my friend. Lyra left, and Elm let me know that the Kimono Girls were waiting at the Ecruteak Dance Theater.
I decided to relax for a little while at home before heading over to Ecruteak City.

Pokemon SoulSilver - Dragon's Den
After I healed my team, I headed through the water behind the Blackthorn Gym to the Dragon's Den, a cave that only chosen Trainers were allowed to explore to train. I went into the cave, and then climbed down the ladder to go deeper into the cave.
I quickly came across my first Trainer, who thought I was trespassing. I sent out Claire against his Dragonair. Claire used Shadow Ball for massive damage, then Dragonair missed with Iron Tail. Claire hit it with Shadow Ball again and knocked it out to win the battle. I found a Revive and a Calcium nearby, then I continued further into the cave.
I surfed down to a shrine at the center of the underground lake, but I couldn't get in on my side. I went around and found another Trainer, who also thought I didn't belong there. She sent out Horsea, and I sent Claire after it. Claire used Shadow Ball for massive damage, and it was knocked out instantly. Seadra was sent out next, and Shadow Ball hit it for massive damage and another instant knock out. Claire grew to Level 36, and then one last Horsea was sent out to be knocked out by Shadow Ball.
I went around and got into a Double Battle with a couple little girls, and Seth and Claire took care of them quickly. I grabbed the nearby Max Elixir and then used Whirlpool to get across a whilrpool before I continued on. I quickly found myself on the right side of the Shrine, and I went to talk to the Dragon Master standing proud inside.
He told me it was good to see me, that I didn't need to explain why I came. He knew that Clair sent me there, and told me that she was a handful. He apologized, and told me he had to test me, with a few questions. They were questions about Pokemon, and my relationship with them. After the questions, he knew how deeply I care for Pokemon. He told me that my conviction was important, and not to lose that belief.
Right after that, Clair came in and asked how it went. She assumed that I failed, but when I told her I passed, she refused to believe me. Apparently she couldn't pass his test. The Dragon Master came up to her, defending my skill and spirit. He forced her to admit defeat, and to hand over the Rising Badge, or he would inform Lance about this incident.
With much reluctance, Clair handed over the Rising Badge, which would let me use Waterfall outside of battle. I would also be able to command ALL Pokemon, regardless of level. The Dragon Master told Clair to reflect upon what I have that she lacked, and then she ran off.
The Dragon Master told me of Lugia, that I could find it at the Whirl Islands, at the deep end of the waterfall basin. He told me that I needed a Silver Wing to reach the waterfall basin, but I already had it. Before I'd try to get Lugia, I needed to win the Johto League Championship.
I found a Dragon Fang along the one side, then went back around the other way to make it out of the Dragon's Den. I was stopped by Clair, who apologized for all this, and handed over TM59 (Dragon Pulse), then told me I needed to head back to New Bark Town and Surf along Route 27 to reach the Pokemon League.
When I left the Dragon's Den, I got a call from Professor Elm. He told me he got a hold of something neat, and told me to swing back to his Lab to pick it up. I healed my team at the Pokemon Center, then got ready to head back home. I wonder how Mom has been doing?

Pokemon SoulSilver - Blackthorn City and the Blackthorn Gym
After I got my team healed at the Pokemon Center, I went and caught a couple more Pokemon from Route 44, and nearby Route 45, Lickitung (Normal, Female, Lv. 24) and Teddiursa (Normal, Female, Lv. 20), before I went back to the city and to the Poke' Mart to grab Shuca Berries, Occa Berries, Kebia Berries, and a Choice Scarf that Mom had bought with my cash. I also grabbed some Ultra Balls while I was at it.
I found the Move Tutor and Move Deleter in a house next to the Poke' Mart, and I also found an elderly couple who could train very powerful moves, but I decided against it. I didn't have Heart Scales to go to the Move Tutor either. I talked to more people in the city and found out that the Dragon Tamers throughout the region all came from Blackthorn City.
With surprisingly little else to do in the "city" I decided to go to the Blackthorn Gym and get my 8th Gym Badge. When I started my way through with Blake close behind, the man near the entrance stopped me and told me that the Gym had unstable footing, and told me to keep Blake in his Pokeball.
My team consisted of:
Blake (Feraligatr, Water, Lv. 35)
Seth (Weepinbell, Grass/Poison, Lv. 35)
Lucas (Pidgeotto, Normal/Flying, Lv. 35)
Claire (Haunter, Ghost/Poison, Lv. 35)
Samuel (Infernape, Fire/Fighting, Lv. 36)
Edward (Electabuzz, Electric, Lv. 35)
I found myself having to work controls on a platform atop the lava to move it over and spin it around so I could continue further through the Gym. I found myself against the first Trainer, and he sent out a Dratini while I sent Blake out against it. Blake used Ice Fang for massive damage, and knocked it out instantly. Another Dratini was sent out, and I kept Blake in the fight. Blake used Ice Fang again, and Dratini was knocked out instantly. Seadra was sent out last, and Blake used Ice Fang for minor damage, before Seadra used Agility to increase it's speed. I switched over to Edward, who got hit by Bubble Beam for good damage, then Brine for great damage, before Edward countered with Thunder Punch to knock it out and win the battle.
I healed Edward, then continued on to fight another Trainer. Her Dratini went down to Ice Fang, and her Dragonair went down to a couple Ice Fangs too. Blake grew to Level 36, and I healed him before I was on another mobile platform. I made my way across and fought another Trainer, and Horsea was sent out. I switched to Edward, and Thunder Punch knocked it out, then Seadra was sent out and Edward hit it with Thunder Punch for massive damage. It knocked out Edward with Bubble Beam doing critical damage, and I switched to Seth, who got hit by Bubble Beam for minor damage before he used Vine Whip to knock it out and win the battle.
I revived Edward and continued on, and I fought another Trainer who went down easily against my team. Edward grew to Level 36, and I healed my team up before I continued further onto the next Trainer. He sent out Dragonair, and it took Seth out before Blake knocked it out. I left the Blackthorn Gym to heal my team, and I taught Lucas Roost in place of Twister after I found it to be useless against the Dragon-Type Pokemon.
With Blake at the ready, I made it across with the last platform and faced the Blackthorn Gym Leader, Clair. She told me she was the world's greatest Dragon-Type Master, and that she could hold her own against even the Elite Four. I told her I wasn't afraid, that I wanted to fight, and she agreed to battle me.
I sent out Blake, and Clair sent out Gyarados. Gyarados' Intimidate cut Blake's attack, and I switched over to Edward, before he got hit by Dragon Rage for great damage. Edward used Thunder Punch for massive damage, and knocked out Gyarados in a single blow. Dragonair was sent out next, and I sent out Blake against it. Blake used Ice Fang for massive damage, and it was frozen solid! Blake used Ice Fang again and knocked it out, and then another Dragonair was sent out.
Blake used Ice Fang again for massive damage, then he got hit by Thunder Wave to be paralyzed. Dragonair used Dragon Pulse next for great damage, and Blake was stopped by paralysis. During the next turn Blake's Quick Claw let him move first, but Paralysis stopped him again, and then Dragon Pulse did great damage again. Dragonair used Dragon Pulse once more, and Blake countered with Ice Fang to knock it out and grow to Level 37.
Finally Clair sent out Kingdra, and I sent out Edward to fight it. Kingdra used Dragon Pulse for massive damage, and Edward clung on to strike with Thunder Punch for good damage. I gave Edward a Hyper Potion to heal up, then Kingdra used Hydro Pump for massive damage, putting him in the red again. Kingdra used Dragon Pulse again and knocked Edward out, then I sent out Seth.
Kingdra used Dragon Pulse for massive damage, and Seth charged up, then Kingdra used Hydro Pump to knock Seth out. I sent out Claire, and Kingdra used Dragon Pulse for massive damage to knock her out before she could do anything. I felt the pressure, only two Pokemon left and one badly injured, and none could do much. I sent Lucas out, and Kingdra used Hydro Pump for massive damage, knocking Lucas out instantly.
I sent out Samuel next, and he used Close Combat for massive damage, then Kingdra ate a Sitrus Berry to heal itself before it knocked out Samuel with Hydro Pump. All I had left was Blake, and I gave him a Hyper Potion to heal, before he got hit by Dragon Pulse for great damage. Kingdra used Dragon Pulse again for great damage, then Blake used Ice Fang for minor damage. I gave Blake a Max Potion, and Kingdra used Hydro Pump for good damage. Kingdra missed with Hyper Beam next, and Blake's paralysis stopped him from attacking.
I gave Blake a Parlyz Heal, and Kingdra used Dragon Pulse for great damage. I gave Blake my last Max Potion, and Kingdra used Dragon Pulse for great damage. Quick Claw worked to let Blake use Waterfall for minor damage, then Kingdra used Dragon Pulse once more for great damage. I used my Max Revive to revive and heal Edward, before Blake was knocked out by Dragon Pulse.
Kingdra used Hyper Beam for massive damage, then Edward countered with Thunder Punch for good damage. Kingdra had to recharge, and Edward used Thunder Punch again to knock it out, and win the battle! Clair was speechless upon defeat, she couldn't believe she lost against me, though she was a challenging opponent with only a couple Pokemon to fight against her.
After the battle, Clair refused to concede, and told me I still wasn't ready for the Pokemon League. I knew I had a very difficult time throughout this league of such odd Gym-Types, but for the final Gym Leader to refuse me my Gym Badge? She said I should take the Dragon-master challenge, in the Dragon's Den behind the Gym. She told me if I went to the shrine inside and prove that I've lost my lazy ideals, then she would give me my Gym Badge.
I felt angry, after my whole team was knocked out by her strength (and by their lack of Type-advantages), that she refused to give me the Gym Badge I had earned fairly. I wished I could just continue onto the Pokemon League, but I needed that damn Gym Badge. I knew my Pokemon needed further training, but I wondered how much more they would need. I found myself again wishing, as I went back to the Pokemon Center, that the Johto League had normal Gyms.
Every other League has a general layout, with Rock, then Water, then Grass, etc, but then this Johto League has the secondary types to fight against, an odd assortment that started with Flying-Type Pokemon, the first League I've faced so far to have that as a Gym Type-theme. I was just glad to be nearly done with this Johto League, and to win the Championship so I could move on to the next League.
Current Team:
Blake (Feraligatr, Water, Lv. 37)
Seth (Weepinbell, Grass/Poison, Lv. 35)
Lucas (Pidgeotto, Normal/Flying, Lv. 35)

Pokemon SoulSilver - Heading to Blackthorn City
I grabbed some Heavy Balls from Kurt, gave him more Apricorns to make more Pokeballs, then Flew over to Mahogany Town to head east toward Blackthorn City. I fought a few Trainers along Route 44, and through the battles Lucas, Blake, and Seth all grew to Level 35.
Soon enough I found myself traveling the Ice Path. I brought Samuel out, ready to fight all the Ice-Type Pokemon I knew I would be facing on my way to Blackthorn City. I traveled a ways through the Ice Path, fought against a wild Pokemon, and Samuel grew to Level 36, then he learned Close Combat in place of Mach Punch. After the battle, Samuel evolved into Infernape!
I found and caught a Swinub (Ice/Ground, Female, Lv. 23) and continued on my way through the path. I came across a man who told me he dropped an item onto some ice, but he couldn't retrieve it himself. I found my way across the ice, and found HM07 (Waterfall) before I made my way back to the man to return it. The man was kind enough to let me keep it since I worked to get it.
I went down a ladder to the next floor, and I caught a Delibird (Ice/Flying, Female, Lv. 22) as I was making my way through the path. I found several large holes, and several large boulders I figured I would need to use to fill the holes. I quickly realized that I hadn't taught any of my Pokemon how to use Strength, and I taught Edward to use Strength in place of Headbutt. While I was at it, I taught Blake to use Waterfall in place of Crunch.
I tried moving a boulder and found myself falling down one of the holes onto the ice below. I slid around for a while, trying to grab the items nearby, but I soon gave up and went back up the ladder in the corner. I managed to move the boulders around down the holes, where they landed on the ice below. With the last boulder in place, I dropped down to grab some items, including a Max Potion, Carbos, and a Full Heal.
I went down the ladder at the center, found a Star Piece and Never Melt Ice, and then I went up the other ladder. I found TM72 (Avalanche) and I found Iron and Protein as I made my way up another couple ladders and through another path. I soon came across a Kimono Girl, who was stuck on the ice near the exit, and she recognized me. She told me that her sandals were frozen on the ice, and she was stuck. I moved around and gave her a shove to the exit. She thanked me and left, and I went around to grab an item, a PP Up, before I managed my way out.
I found myself at Blackthorn City, and I went to heal my team. I would explore this city soon enough, and get my final Gym Badge!
