Pokemon Black White Walkthrough Part 10 – Route 3 (and the Wellspring Cave)

Head straight up on Route 3 to find the Daycare Center. This place is your best friend later in the game. Here you will be able to level up Pokemon just by leaving them there. You can put compatible Pokemon in there to have a chance at finding a Pokemon Egg.

To the left you will find a Preschool. There, you can rest your Pokemon, in the school itself, and find a fair number of trainers who are waiting to challenge you. The girl just past the preschool will be the first to challenge you in this area. This is Nursery Aid Autmn who sends out her Lillipup lvl. 10 and Munna lvl. 10. Head more to the left to find more Trainers waiting for you. After her, talk with the small child near her, Preschooler Doyle, who challenges you with his Panpour lvl. 10. Just next to him is Preschooler Wendy who willingly challenges you with her Pansear lvl. 10. Keep going to the left to find the last trainer, Preschooler Tully. They send  out a Pansage lvl. 10.

After that, head back down the stairs and go to the left to find who is next. Next are the Twins Kumi and Amy, giving you over to your first Double Battle. They send out a pair of Purrloin lvl. 10. Head to the left more and you will find Cheren come up on you. He will challenge you to see which of you is the strongest. His starter is now lvl. 14, holding an Oran Berry, and he has a Purrloin lvl. 12. Take them down then something happens. Two members of Team Plasma come charging down the Route and go straight past you. Bianca shows up just after with a child in tow. Apparently Team Plasma managed to snag their Pokemon. Cheren takes charge and runs off after Team Plasma.

The item ball just above you has a Super Potion in it. Just head to the left and follow the path. You will find Cheren waiting by the entrance of a cave, the Wellspring Cave. When you try to enter, Cheren will check with you to see if your Pokemon are fully healed and ready to handle anything.

Take a moment to head to the right and loop back. You will find a trainer along the way, Pokemon Breeder Adelaide. She will send out a Patrat lvl. 9, Pidove lvl. 9 and Lillipup lvl. 9. After the battle, she will give you an Oran Berry. Below her is an item ball with a Repel inside it. After that, head to the left and agree that its time to dive into the cave and handle Team Plasma.

Wellspring Cave
Inside the cave you will find Cheren staring down a pair of Team Plasma Grunts. The first one you fight challenges you with a Patrat lvl. 12. The second battle here is a dual-battle with Cheren. The Plasma Grunts send out a pair of Patrats, both lvl. 12. After this short series of battles, the Grunts again deliver their message of Pokemon liberation, saying they are held back by people and made to suffer. Cheren, after their departure, says that trainers bring out the potential of their Pokemon. Now, Cheren takes the Pokemon back to its original trainer. There is very little you can get in this visit, but you will want to head to the left, down then right to find an item ball with TM 46, Thief, inside it. Grab that then exit the cave.

Route 3
Head back to where that you met the Girl and Bianca. Walk between them to start things. The girl will give you 3 Heal Balls. Head south from that point to finish exploring Route 3. Not too far below is School Kid Al who will challenge you with his Blitzle lvl. 13. Behind Al, in the grass, close to the fence is an item ball with an Antidote inside. Head out of the grass and follow the path. You will run into Cheren again who will tell you about the darker grass. Apparently there you can encounter 2 Pokemon in a single wild encounter. You can catch one of those Pokemon but only after you knock out the other that you do not want to catch.  After that, he announces his intent to visit Nacrene City. That sounds like a good place to go next for you too. Still, there is the rest of Route 3 to be dealt with.

You can cut around the next trainer, School Kid Marsha, and her Woobat lvl. 13, by cutting through the dark grass. Before you cross the bridge on this path, take a quick detour through the dark grass next to it to find an item ball with a Great Ball inside it. Follow along the path and you will find another trainer, School Kid Gina. She will take you on with her Patrat lvl. 12 and Purrloin lvl. 12. Farther along the route you will find another item ball with an Awakening inside in an opening in the grass past the bridge. Not too far from that is School Kid Edgar who is waiting to challenge you with his two Pokemon, a Pidove and a Roggenrola about around lvl. 12. Keep going to the left make your way through to Nacrene City.
