Pokémon Center

You will encounter your enemy in the Pokémon center of Ecruteak City.  Don't worry, he won't fight you there.  Next, you should talk to Masaki in this Pokémon center.  He will tell you that the time capsule will be working the next day.  You will then be able to use this device to import Pokémon from the older versions.  Afterwards, you can head back to Goldenrod City and get Eevee from Bill.  He lives in a house just left of the Pokémon center in Goldenrod City.

Getting HM3

There is a house in this city with dancers using the evolved forms of Eevees (including the two new forms).  Defeat all five out them and then talk to the gentleman to get HM3 (surf).

Phantom badge

Challenge the gym leader for your fourth badge whenever you are ready.  They all use ghost type Pokémon here.  The gym is like a little maze and you will be sent back to the beginning if you don't walk on the right paths.  The gym leader, Matsuba, will uses a LV21 Gastly, LV21 Haunter, LV25 Genger and LV23 Haunter.  The LV25 Genger is kind of a tough one because it knows both Hypnosis and Dream Eater.  After you defeated the gym leader, you will be honored the Phantom badge which allows you to use HM3 Surf in and out of battle and makes Pokémon under LV50 to obey you.  You will also get TM30.

Item Finder

You can get an item finder by talking to the guy inside the house between the gym and the Pokémon center.  You will see that there is a book on the table.  If you read the book, you will learn about the legend of the three legendary dogs.  

Pokémart

This Pokémart does not have any new items for sale, but you can still stock on the items you need:

The three legendary dogs

Go up to the northwest corner of the city and you will find the Burning Tower.  Once you get inside, you will have to battle your enemy.  He will be using a LV20 Haunter, LV22 Arikeitsu, LV18 Magnemite and LV20 Zubat.  In order to reach the three legendary dogs, you need to teach TM08 to one of your Pokémon so that you can break up the rocks.  If you somehow lost the TM, go buy one at the department store in Goldenrod City.  Take a left turn once you get into the Tower, and keep going up until you reach a funny looking rock.  Smash the rock open and follow the path until you reach the middle of the Tower.  Drop to the basement through the hole and you will see the three legendary dogs are asleep.  However, they will all wake up and flee before you can get too close to them.  From now on, you will encounter these 3 Pokémon in the wild ever now and then.  Check out our FAQ section to find tips on how to capture them.  You will also find Magmar in the basement of this Tower.  Catch a couple for breeding in order to get the pre-evolved form.  After you learnt HM4 Strength, make sure you come back here to get a TM20 at the upper right corner in the basement.  After your visit of the Burning Tower, you can head west to Route 38 to continue your journey.
