Victory Road is nothing like it used to be. This eastern half of Victory Road is
now much easier now. There are no puzzles to solve now. There are also no
trainers stalking you as you roam around the dungeon. Head up the stairway and
up the cliff. If you go right, you can pick up a Full Heal and Max Revive and
then return to the cliff. If you go left, you can keep going and then go up the
ladder. Have you ever wondered why the cliffs have guardrails and why dungeons
have ladders? It has been a mystery to me.

On the second floor, go right up the cliff, then head down. Going left takes you
to a X Special. Head right again and then up along the path, and that'll lead
you up to another ladder.

Save when you get to the third floor. Go up the cliff to your left, go down the
ladder, grab the Full Restore, and jump down. Head back up the ladder to the
third floor. 

Now, take the path to the right. You'll spot a door to leave the cave. Before
exiting the cave, your Rival and challenge you to a rematch. He overconfidently
exclaims that you're so much weaker than he is even though he has never beaten
you in his life.

|------------------------------------------|

Strategy VERSUS Sneasel: If you're using your starter, use your highest power
move. If you're sticking with a balanced lineup, use Eevee and its quick attacks
to finish it off.

Strategy VERSUS Golbat: If you're using your starter, use your highest power
move. If you're sticking with a balanced lineup, use Raticate's
hyper fangs and a quick attack.

Strategy VERSUS Magneton: Magneton is a steel type, so it will absorb normal
moves. If you have Typhlosion, fire wheel is effective. Otherwise, stick with
the strongest move you've got.

Strategy VERSUS Starter Evolution: If you're using your starter, use your
highest power move that isn't an attack from your starter's type. If you're
using a balanced lineup, use Raticate and have it hit with hyper fans.

Strategy VERSUS Haunter: Use your highest power move that isn't a normal or 
fighting attack, as those will be ineffective.

Strategy VERSUS Kadabra: Use your highest power move that isn't a fighting move.

Woop woop! Oh, sorry, I was imitating the victory celebration from a Wooper.
Congrats on beating your Rival one more time. Your rival finally understands he
sucks and all, but he hasn't given up hope. It's commendable, truly. That
arrogance really keeps him going. It's a beautiful story of a thief trying to
live his dreams. He retreats, and now you can advance out of the cave.

But before you do that, go left instead of out the door, and fall down the hole
to get TM26 Earthquake. Earthquake is one of the best ground moves in the game.
Then drop down the ledge and head back up the ladder to get back to the third
floor. Go back through the third floor to leave the dungeon with an extra TM in
your pocket.
