 * (Lv.32)
 * Reward: Cobble Badge, TM60 (Drain Punch)

Maylene is obviously a fighting trainer. Her gym is set up so you have to face most, if not all of the trainers here. Flying and Psychic are good against this gym, Flying the better since Meditite is also a Psychic. Also, using Fire attacks will work well on Lucario, since it is a Fighting/Steel.

Entering the warehouse
When you exit the gym after beating the gym leader, Dawn will appear again and say that Team Galactic has her pokedex and needs your help. Go to the Warehouse. After talking to Dawn, a 2-on-2 battle will be engaged.

Meteorites
Ever noticed the meteorites around Veilstone's western side of town? If you have in your party, touching one of the stones will change its form. The middle rock turns Deoxys into its Normal Form, the one above that into the Speed Form, and the two below that, from left to right, turn it into the Attack or Defense Form.
