Now that your rival is gone, head all the way left defeating the Rockets as you go. at the very end on the wall is a blue panel. Turn it on. Go right a little bit and do the same to the one the wall, and the the other one right where you came in. This opens all the doors in this room.

Pokemon: Remoraid, Magikarp, Poliwag, Lickitung, Bellsprout, Weepinbel, Tangela

Head east until you come to a cave enterance. Before entering, you'll want to surf across the lake and catch Lickitung and Tangela. On the east side of the lake near the cave is a fisherman. Battle him and talk to him afterwards. He'll call you want Remoraid are biting in the lake.

Nothing left here except for some trainers. Enter the cave.

Pokemon: Jynx, Delibird, Swinub, Zubat, Golbat

This cave is a real pain. Before entering, bring a Pokemon that knows Strength. Starting off, head right until you come to an icy floor. On this one, just head right, down, right, down until your off of it.

Walk around to the large ice floor. It is a bit difficult so step onto the path and : go up, left, down, left, up, right, up, and right. You'll find yourself in the upper-right corner. From there go down, left, up, left, down, right, down, right, up, and right to left the floor.

Walk right a bit and you'll find another ice floor. On this one, go right, up, right, down, right, down, right, up, left, down, left, up, and right. You'll find yourself at the HM07 pokeball. Grab it, slide all the wal left then down. Head up the stairs on the small mound. Head right, down the stairs, and then down the ladder.

On the next floor, use the map below to push the boulders into the correct hole. Jump down the hole after you push the final one in. You'll land on one of its side. Move up/right/left to the next one and over/up until you reach the small patch in the middle with the latter.

On the next floor, head right all the way then left on the other side of the rocks to get the slide down the ice floor. Walk left and line yourself up with the stairs and go up. Walk across to the other stairs. Head down and go to the next floor.

Another ice path on this floor. Go down, right, up, left, up, left, down, left to proceed. In the final room, just slide across the ice to exit this cave.

Not much here. There is a house here towards Route 46 that is home to the Move Deleter. He will delete any move from your Pokemon's list, especially HM moves. Visit him if your Pokemon knows an unwanted HM move.

The gym is located in the northern part of town. Be sure to bring an Ice Pokemon or two (or Pokemon that know said moves) and one that knows Strength. If you don't, head to Goldenrod and buy the Ice Punch TM from the Department Store. Teach it to a high level Pokemon that is able to learn it.

This gym uses Dragon Pokemon, so that's why Ice Punch is needed.

The gym is like the previous area in Ice Path. On the second floor, you'll need to push boulders into the into the holes to make a path to Clair. The boulder is near the hole, so no real guide is needed. When all the boulders are in the hole, return to the entrance and navigate through the gym and talk to Clair.

Clair
Pokemon: Dragonair Lv. 37 x 3, Kingdra Lv 40. Prizes: $4000, Rising Badge,

When you fight her, and you use Gyarados, do not send your Gyarados out against her second Dragonair as it knows Thunderbolt. Icy Wind, Ice Punch, or Ice Beam are good moves to use on the Dragonairs regardless.

As for Kingdra, it would be best to poison it, paralyze it, or put it to sleep then slam it with powerful moves.

Clair is arrogant, however: she will not give you the badge. She'll have you go behind the gym in Dragon's Den and find an item inside.

Pokemon: Magikarp, Dratini, Dragonair

Inside, you'll be a large cavern (after you go down the ladders). Go to the water, surf left then down to the whirlpool. Use the move Whirlpool here. Go behind the shrine and up onto the long strip of land. Grab the Pokeball and Clair will appear and give you your badge and a TM. Leave, and Elm will call you. Fly to New Bark Town.
