The Fight Area is the location for any trainers seeking a challenge and the ultimate rewards for their labor.

Once you step off the ferry from Snowpoint City, you will immediately run into your rival, who is headed toward the Fight Area's resident Battle Tower looking for a challenge. Renowned trainer, Buck, interrupts you telling you about a volcano located deep in the island.

[edit] The Battle Tower

The Battle Tower is, oddly, not a place you can level up your Pokémon, but a place to see how strong your Pokémon really are, and to win great prizes. Now, there are three different ways to challenge the Battle Tower, and two additional ways to fight in those. The first is for solo challengers, the second is for Multiplayer, and the third is for Wi-Fi connection.

[edit] Solo Battles

Solo battles are the ones to do if you don't have a friend or Wi-Fi to play with. The rules and restrictions are as follows:

• If you enter a level 50 match, all your opponent's Pokémon will be at level 50
• If you enter a Pokémon higher than level 50 for a level 50 match, it will automatically be brought down to level 50
• Pokémon under the level requirement are allowed
• EXP. points and money not gained
• No duplicate Pokémon are allowed
• No Pokémon may enter holding the same item as a participating Pokémon
• Certain Legendary Pokémon are not allowed
• No items may be used in-battle
• Eggs may not participate

Now, the way the battles work is this: you choose three Pokémon (if you entered a Single Battle) or four Pokémon (if you entered a Double Battle). You will progress through a battle of seven trainers in a row. If you win a battle, you are automatically healed, and are Give three choices: Continue, Rest, or Retire.

• Continue: fight the next trainer
• Rest: saves your progress and allows you to exit. The next time you participate, you will start where you left off
• Retire: quit battles and lose all progress therein

After you beat all seven trainers in a row, you will then be escorted back to the lobby. Here you will receive 3 BP (This increases every time you win 2 consecutive rounds). You can spend this on the Exchange Counters to the right and left of the Battle Tower.

[edit] Battle Tower Boss Palmer

Palmer is a very interesting person, only appearing in the 21st and 49th battle only in the solo matches. Palmer has a Rypheor, Dragonite, and Milotic. After defeating him, you will get 20BP instead of the normal amount. Many people have found that fighting up to him, defeating him, and then losing purposely the next round yields the best results, of 26BP. The reason for losing is the next couple rounds are harder than the rest up to that point, making it very efficient to get 26 for only 21 battles that are moderately easy than 52 for 21 that are easy and 21 that are harder.

Palmer is also your Rival's father.

[edit] Multiplayer Battles

Multiplayer battles are double battles fought paired up with people you've paired up with earlier in your adventure. These people include Riley, Mira, Cheryl, Buck, and Marley. The combinations are:

To begin a Multiplayer Battle, walk up to the lady at the left counter in the Battle Tower. Once you accept the challenge, you will have to pick two Pokémon to fight with your allies Pokémon. Once this is done, the lady will take you up to the waiting room. Here you will need to pick one of the trainers. Once this is done, the lady will then lead you to the battle room. You will then fight seven rounds of two trainers. The battles are exactly like the Double Battles in Single mode, except your ally controls his/her own Pokémon. After you win, you will be awarded BP normally. You may also battle with a friend if you both choose the "Over Wireless" option.
