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!
