Introduction & Version History
=============================================================================
<December 4, 2001 - 05:31:25 PM, my computer time>
  100 new monsters. Breeding. Chain breeding. New moves. Eggs. Colosseum.
Time Capsule. Pokégear. All these things had been stealing most Pokémon
players' attention from a small feature from the past R/B/Y games. Yeah, the
Treasure Hunting.
  Treasure Hunting has been one of my favorite mini-game in this Pokémon
game. I spent quite some time all over Kanto (although they didn't put this
name in the first place) to search for hidden treasures in Blue version.
It's just interesting looking for items that could be ANYwhere. On the road,
inside a tree, behind a rock, wherever.
  Why did you do that, you asked me. Don't you have to raise your Pokémon?
  Well, nope. Unlike most of you, I don't really feel like raising mine to
their max. I do fill up my Pokédex, but I don't fill my box with anything
listed in there, already in Lv.100 with their best moves. I loved mine just
the way they are, young and weak :) I also don't have much friends for link
battle so having Lv.100 monsters aren't worth it. So that's why I'd rather
search for treasures than crawling for exps...:)
  So now, in Gold version, I meet the feature back and since the world has
been double-sized from the first one, the hunt shall be twice greater as
well. I found out that it hasn't really covered much in any FAQ, so I
decided to make one.
  I hope that this FAQ will be some sort of help, and I hope it is worth
reading it. If any of you needed help, sorry, I don't include e-mail,
because I'm just too lazy and don't have enough time to cover it all...
Thanks, and happy searching!

Things to expect in future version:

=============================================================================
How to be a Huntér
=============================================================================
  First of all, you might want to know that all we hunt here are scattered
items. In the world of Pokémon, there are many items hidden anywhere. It
could be right under your feet, or inside the stone right in front of you.
You don't get any signal or clue where it is, unlike in some Final Fantasy
games where the items are in jars, nor getting a "!" signal like in FFIX.

  In order to find it, you will have to press A button to the direction
which you think the treasure is in. If you're doing right, you will be infor-
med that you found an item. Remember that the item could be anything, it
could be a mere Potion or a worth-tracking Full Restore (or PP UP :)

  But we all know that it will be a real pain if we have to press A anytime
we step, or checking any corner and trees and stones and whatever. That's
why we will need the help from a handy item namely ITEMFINDER. This item
is back from R/B/Y version and it's as useful as ever.

  To get the ITEMFINDER, all you need is to reach ECRUTEAK City and talk
to the guy inside the house next to the gym. He will give you the item for
free and it will sit right inside your bag. It is a KEY item, so you could
use it again and again without having to worry to lost it or charge its
battery.

  Anywhere you feel like you want to search an item, just bring the ITEM-
FINDER and use it. There will be two kind of responses you might get:
A) Nope, ITEMFINDER isn't responding!
  :: This is obvious, there are no item nearby. Look somewhere else. ::
B) Yes, ITEMFINDER indicates there's an item nearby!
  :: You're close to the item! Keep searching! ::

  However, the ITEMFINDER didn't tell you EXACTLY where the item is. It
does tell you that you're close to an item, but you should still check it by
yourself. So, you still have to move step-by-step, pressing A each time you
walk and checking every direction. However it will still be easier that way,
rather than getting no clue whatsoever :)

  To help you searching, try using ITEMFINDER frequently as you will notice
the item location range. The range shown should be a full-square, so you
might want to know the borders of the square to help you find the item. Like
this:
       abcdefghijklmnopqrstu

  1    AAAAAAABBBBBBBCCCCCCC        Okay, this is dumb coordinates, but
  2    AAAAAAABBBBBBBCCCCCCC        just to help you, the coordinates of
  3    AAAAAAABBBBBBBCCCCCCC        the upper-left-most of the A is (a,1),
  4    AAAAAAABBBBBBBCCCCCCC        thus the lower-right-most of the C
  5    AAAAAAABBBBBBBCCCCCCC        is (u,7). I hope you understand ^_^;
  6    AAAAAAABBBBBBBCCCCCCC
  7    AAAAAAABBBBBBBCCCCCCC

  Understand this. The area with B is the item area, while the A and C are
not. If you stand anywhere on B, you will know that ITEMFINDER indicates
there's an item nearby. Of course, you won't get anything if you're standing
on A or C.

  Now what if you don't know the range? That's why you need the ITEMFINDER.
As an example, you're standing anywhere on B. Your ITEMFINDER ringing, and
you're burning in passion as you're going to find treasure. Now you will
have to do as follow:
  - Walk one step left. Use your ITEMFINDER again. If it does not indicate
    anything, then STOP stepping left. If it does, walk one step to the left
    again, use ITEMFINDER and check whether it still indicates or not.
    Lather, rinse, repeat. Once your ITEMFINDER stops indicating, stop
    moving to the left. You have found the LEFT border of the range.
  - Now, you might as well check one step up and down. This way, you will
    eventually find the TOP and the DOWN border.
  - Thus, it will be easier for you to find the RIGHT border too. Do so.
  - Now you get all the borders, just try to find the item inside this
    border. Move along the LEFT/RIGHT/DOWN/UP border consecutively and
    patiently. Finally, you will find the item.

  And just a little secret between you and me, if somehow you could notify
the area like it shown above, somehow the item is located at B(k,4). In
English, it is in the middle of all the range. Believe me or not!

  Note that the steps above are for patient and dilligent people. There are
two kind of people in this world. People who used his brain to work in order,
or in a NEAT way, and people who used his brain to work randomly, or SCRUFFY.
NEAT people uses the steps above. SCRUFFY people, you could include me, just
ignore those borders, and try to find the items randomly. Sometimes random
search are even better and faster, but of course you can't always depend on
it.

  Both ways are good. Just find out in which side are you, NEAT or SCRUFFY,
and use your own way to find the items. Eventually, all of you will find the
items you want.

  One more thing. In R/B/Y, one thing that might be helpful is that hidden
items is usually in either:
A) A corner.
B) A lone rock or tree.
C) A weird, one-of-a-kind things.
D) once in a blue moon, hidden behind bush (needed CUT).

  In other words, the hiding place could easily be recognized. However, in
this Gold/Silver version, things are getting harder and tougher. Now, items
could be just on the ground, which is hard to recognize since most ground
are wide area, and so on. So keep in mind that all you have to do is to
press A for each step and for each direction you could face.

 Heh, just kidding. I just realize that there is a new pattern of hidden
items in Gold/Silver. It is:
A) Most item lying on the ground next to a corner or a dead-end. Like this:
               _ _ _ _ _ _
              |_|_|_|_|_|_|
               _ _ S X|_|_|
              |_|_|_|_|_|_|

  Imagine that the boxes are trees or walls or whatever you couldn't step
  on. Usually the item will be at the place noted with X. If you want to
  get it, you will have to stand on S, face east to the X and press A.
B) Earlier in the game, the old pattern is back, you should stand right
  on the corner and check the wall surrounding it.
C) More earlier in the game, mostly in Kanto, the other old pattern are
  also back. Item mostly hidden inside a lone-obvious rock.
D) If there's any pattern I could find, I will put it here :)

  So, as a summary:
  - Treasure hunting is actually looking for lost items activity.
  - You do this by pressing A to check the ground, or anything you face.
  - Lost items could be anywhere, and you're dumb if you try to press A for
    each step you take. At the very least, you will hurt your thumb a lot.
  - That's why, you will need an ITEMFINDER. You get it from a man in
    ECRUTEAK City, and it's free.
  - You don't need to have ITEMFINDER to find hidden treasures, but again,
    it's dumb not to have it.
  - ITEMFINDER doesn't tell you the exact location, but it will ruin the
    fun factor if it does anyway :)
  - You have to be patient once ITEMFINDER shows you the item range. You
    could use the NEAT or the SCRUFFY way, depend on how you work with your
    brain.
  - Check weird noticeable things first. Usually items lay next to them, but
    don't you always depend on this fact.
  - Check corners. Just don't ask me why, perhaps the designers aren't that
    good in hiding treasures...:)
  - Treasure Hunting is fun, and once you get into it, you will forgot that
    your baby Pidgey needed a little level-up treat...:)

*****************************************************************************
Author Note: These FAQ was made based on my own Gold version game. I do not
own Silver nor Crystal, nor planning to have and play one. I believe both
G/S have similar treasures, but if it doesn't, then please don't ask me to
do so for Silver. I'm not as workaholic as you guys when it comes to Pokémon.

UPDATE:: Now I have Crystal, and maybe about to play it, and maybe I'll try
doublecheck into it but don't expect me to be able to do that FAST. Sorry :)

Description:: Remember the SURF down to Seafoam island and Cinnabar Island
             in R/B/Y? Here we go the first part of the long winding road!

Treasures::
HYPER POTION: Now this is getting somewhat intriguing and interesting :)
             For this, you will need to teach TM 08: Rock Smash to one of
             your Pokémon. Don't worry, the item isn't in the water, it's
             still on the beach, near the route sign. Break the leftmost

             press A to find it, though.

27. Route 42: Ecruteak City - Mahogany Town
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Description:: You will need SURF and CUT to get another Apricorns. Don't
             worry, it's another short way. See the dark MT. MORTAR
             entrance, but ignore it first.

Treasures::
???: The ITEMFINDER indicates there's an item in the small lake you will
    find. But where? How? I've got no idea. If it's underwater, then how
    do I get it? I dunno! AArrgh! (The roar of a frustated hunter...)

<<UPDATE!>>
MAX POTION: I don't know what happened to me, the item is just so easy to
           find. It is in the west side of the small island in the middle
           of the small lake, just stick to the surface and face east to

             the Rockets) stay in the left side and SURF the water to get
             to a somewhat-secret road (but NOT the one with Bitter Berry,
             it is to the north of it). Keep moving, cut the bush and move
             up a little. FULL RESTORE is on the ground, near the ledge
             area. Unusually, it's one square before the corner :) Stand
             right on the corner, face west and get the item.
MAX ETHER: After FULL RESTORE, move up and right, get another bush CUT and
          MAX ETHER should be lying on the ground nearby...
MAX POTION: Although you could get the signal by keep moving up and east af-
           ter getting MAX ETHER, actually you should get back and head to
           the lake on the normal way. Head to the most northeast part of
           the lake, see a little corner of tree to the west and as usual
           the item is there.

Treasures::
MAX POTION: After getting the first visible FULL HEAL (by turning SWITCH 1
           on), walk to the southwest corner and face east. Press A to get
           the item.
REVIVE: For the very first time turn SWITCH 3 on, move directly south until
       the burglar challenges you. Beat him, then turn around and press A

33. Route 44: Mahogany Town - Blackthorn City
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Desription:: A quite small route with no grasses so you could get out of it
            without any encounter whatsoever. But obviously there will be
            some trainers too.

Treasures:: N/A (or have I found something but forgot to note it out?)

34. Ice Path
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Desription:: Bring something with STRENGTH. No way out without it.

Treasures::
CARBOS: Push all the boulders to the hole, and get down to the huge skating
       zone. Move to the southwest part and see a little no-skate area :)
       As usual the item is in the very most corner, you know where.
ICE HEAL: After CARBOS, continue your journey until you came by a small room
         with ledges. Reach your own way to the ladder in the middle, but
         don't get down first. Instead, stand on the top-left corner of the
         no-skate area (with the ladder that is) and move up. You should
         bump a lone stone. Press A and get the item.
MAX POTION: Okay, now you may climb down the ladder. Move right. See the lone
           stone in the middle of the others? Get yourself there, face it
           and press A.

Desription:: The name said the inside! (I know that's kinda pushy... :)

Treasures::
REVIVE: Immediately in Floor 3 (the first large room you'll see), move to
       the rightmost corner and if you have read the whole FAQ up thru here
       it'll be easy for you to guess where the item is :)
MAX ETHER: After you get the DRAGON FANG, surf to the small water area in
          west and check the northwest corner. Face north (to the square
          rock) and you'll get it.

________________________________
37. Route 44: Mountain Rd. Ahead*
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
* I'm assuming that you start it from Blackthorn City, not from the area
 down there between New Bark Town and Cherrygroove city. Anyway, there's
 no chance for you to climb up the ledges from down there :)

Desription:: Way, way down without any chance of getting back up. There are
            some different routes with different trainers here...

Treasures::
PP UP: Okay, listen carefully. Stay near the rightmost wall while keep moving
      down and jumping the ledges, and eventually you will meet a small pond
      with a MYSTERYBERRY tree (if I'm not wrong). Now SURF into the small
      pond and make your way to the southwest corner. Move one square to the
      right, face north, and press A.
      (Yep, it's underwater. I guess I had to take the chance searching up
      Route 41 also... sigh... I can't stand rough seas...)

Dark Cave*
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
* I'm assuming that you're getting in from near Violet City entrance.

Desription:: Dark. Dark. Dark. Even the items are for Dark-type.

Treasures::
ELIXER: Keep moving and stick to the southern part of the cave. Eventually,
       you will find the way out, the entrance from Mountain Path (the
       place with two Berry trees nearby). From that entrance, keep moving
       northwest and you will eventually have to Rock Break another rock.
       Do so, and you will see a little corner in the northwestern place
       nearby. As usual, the item is there.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Desription:: Notice that the trainers here are strong and the wild Pokémon
            ones are also at some kind of high level. Don't get inside it
            too soon, or else you might ended up in front of the Pokémon
            Center you last visited, with half-cut money in you pocket.

Treasures:: N/A

SlowPoké Well (with HM Strength)*

Desription:: Well, this is the place to get Metal Coat...

Treasures:: N/A, I'm happy to say.

____________
Burned Tower
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Desription:: Be prepared for the legendary dogs...

Treasures::
ULTRA BALL: Right away, jump straight to the hole to your left once you
           enter the tower. Once you're down, face left, and get the
           item.
BURN HEAL: Now climb back up, and jump straight to the hole to your
          right. Face the empty space between the rock lines, and as
          always it's there.
ETHER: Okay, climb up again. Now move northwest, break the rock with Rock
      Smash, face the trainer and keep moving as you could see that the
      path circles around the middle of the room. Don't drop down the
      hole yet, instead just go to the end, you could get the visible
      item there, and see that there's a little corner (nook?) to the
      east? As always, it's there.
NUGGET: Once you broke free the dogs, move up the ladder until you hit
       the wall, move one step left, face south, and check it out.

_________
Tin Tower*
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
* To avoid confusion, let's say that the first floor is the very first
 floor you see once you enter the tower (i.e. the one that looked
 similar with Sprout Tower, with fenced wiggling-pillar).

Desription:: One simple word. Ho-oh.

Treasures::
MAX POTION: In FLOOR #4, on the very northeast corner where you should
           reach first from the ladder in FLOOR #3. From there, reach
           the platform with the wiggling-something in the center. You
           know, the one that used to be a giant Bellsprout in Sprout
           Tower. Yep, that moving pillar. From that platform, check
           the most northeast square of it.
FULL RESTORE: In FLOOR #5, try to get to the very southeastern platform
             where you could also find a down ladder there. Stand beside
             the ladder, face north, get the item.
CARBOS: Still, in FLOOR #5, now try to get to the very southwestern
       platform. The place is an isolated area, you couldn't go anywhere
       but going back :) From the ladder, move down one step, face east,
       get that item.

____________
Whirl Island*
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
* From here, to avoid confusion, there are four island here. From now on,
 I will call them the NE (northeast), NW (northwest), SE (southeast)
 and SW (southwest) islands. The SW, as an example, is the island
 closest to Cianwood City, and the NE, I believe, is the place to get
 in touch with Lugia.

Desription:: Another simple word. Lugia.

Treasures::
MAX ETHER: NE island. First, get rid the WHIRLPOOL and move to the
          lone platform near that WHIRLPOOL. It is the small corner that
          is surrounded by seas. SURF there, and check the southeastern
          corner of that four-square land.
ULTRA BALL: Still in NE island, get into the cave and FLASH it up. SURF
           all way right and get down the ladder. After that, keep moving
           to northeast and you will eventually see a little corner to
           the north (with 2 rocks). Stand before the corner, get it.
FULL RESTORE: NW island. Get inside the cave, down the ladder and you will
             be on a huge room. Move south, still on the high platform,
             and you will eventually meet a ladder to the lower platform.
             Check the stone located at the leftmost of that place.
RARE CANDY: NW island. I don't know how will you do it, but from the place
           you get that FULL RESTORE (see above), find your own way to
           the very northeast corner of the huge room. You're on the right
           place if you could find a ladder up and a corner to the north.
           As usual, check there.

__________
Mt. Mortar*
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
* From here, since there are three entrances, I will give it some notes.
ENTRANCE 1: Near Ecruteak City, before SURFING or anything else.
ENTRANCE 2: The entrance found after SURFING once, near the place with
           three apricorns.
ENTRANCE 3: The entrance found near Mahogany Town, with a trainer nearby
           that is.

Desription:: The place is so damn confusing, the encounter rate is kinda
            high, it needs to be FLASHed up first... Better bring up some
            Escape Rope... (and an empty space in your team, trust me).

Treasures::
HYPER POTION: ENTRANCE 1. Get in, FLASH up, get into the door to next room,
             then (in the next room) keep moving east, you will see a
             boulder, but keep moving east and get to the door in the end
             of the way. Get in, and you will be in somewhat watery area.
             Hit the stone to your west, and press A.
             (maybe, if you take note, it would be easier if you get in
              from ENTRANCE 3, as you will already be in the room with that
              item if you do so :)
FULL RESTORE: ENTRANCE 3. Find your very own way, to the place where you
             could get the item namely Dragon Scale. If you can't, just
             try to SURF, use WATERFALL on the waterfall (duh), get into
             the door, and you'll be in a huge room. The Dragon Scale
             should be relatively in the northest part of the room. Using
             some SURF or so, you will eventually reach there. If you
             find it, you should see that there are two ledges lined up
             vertically (top and down) to the right of the platform where
             the item is. Now move around all your way back to the northern
             way (before the ledges), then drop down the first ledge,
             stand on the left side of it, face east, get the item.
MAX REPEL: Now, to the west of the Dragon Scale, there should be a ladder.
          Climb it up. Now, keep moving east, ignore the first ladder you
          see, and eventually you will see the rightmost ladder, to the
          lowest platform. There should be a lone rock there, check it out.
          (maybe, if you take note, you should see that you are actually in
           the big room that is connected by ENTRANCE 1 and 3. If you want
           to ruin all of your exploration, just jump off the ledge near
           the lone rock and you should find yourself in a familiar place.
           However it could be confusing because when I got in from ENTRANCE
           1 and reach the northeast part of the big room (that is, the
           place after you drop down that ledge near the lone rock),
           ITEMFINDER could indicate that hidden item. Of course, we
           couldn't get it from there because of the ledge, and we should
           use the ENTRANCE 2 instead. But anyway, after all, bet you don't
           care or even understand what I'm talking about. Just forget it :)
MAX REVIVE: Anyway, from the MAX REPEL, move up the ladder again, move north
           west to the ladder you see before, down, and follow the way to
           southwest. You will eventually find a ladder down. Climb it down,
           and you will see a lone rock near you, sits right in the middle
           of the way. Just check it out.
           (Just a note, to make things all easier, it is the place where
            Blackbelt Kiyo is training secretly).

<Phew, can't believe I just explore this cave :>

Mt. Silver

Description:: Alright, this place is NOT supposed to be a side-area. This is
             the final place, where you will get the final showdown, with...
             I won't spoil it anymore :) However, this place is only
             accesible once Prof. Oak told you to go there. And Prof. Oak
             will tell you to go there only if you have collected 16 badges
             in total.

Treasures::
DIRE HIT: From the entrance, just move up and east, up the higher platform,
         follow the path and go to the ledges in east. You will see a lone
         rock. Do as usual.
ULTRA BALL: Now follow and progress yourself until you find the door to the
           north. Don't get in--instead, walk southeast and you will find
           a small corner of rocks. Stand one square before, get the item.
MAX POTION: Now enter that door (see above). Once you get in, see the lone
           rock to your left and check it out.

<Just a note, I finished this whole treasure-hunting adv. right in this
place! Well, there are still those sea routes, but... :>

Any Pokémon veteran who had played the R/B/Y should've familiar with these
places and feelings. Yep, the world map where Ash Ketchum lives and wander,
it's here for you to explore. Much things had happened since Ash's conquer
of Pokémon League. The volcano in Cinnabar Island erupted. The Power Plant
had been rebuilt and reused once again. The Pokémon Tower in Lavender had
turned into a Radio Tower. Safari Zone's closed. Mimic had to move from her
previous home because it was torned down and replaced with a train station.
Many things had happened, and the worse is, I have spoiled all the fun and

Treasures::
FULL HEAL: Right after the entrance, move to the left side of the leftmost
          LONE rock, and face that rock. The item should be there.
MAX POTION: Sooner or later (usually after you battle your rival), you'll
           find the one and only hole. After you drop down, stand to the
           north of the lone rock nearby, face south, and get the item.

4. Indigo Plateau: The ultimate goal for trainers! - Pokémon League HQ
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Description:: This is it, trainers. The place for you all to grab any fame
             and honor. Anyway, I had a good tips for trainers who hadn't
             enough level to battle Elite Four. First, save ALL of your
             money in your mom. Now, use any of your best Pokémon and
             challenge Elite Four. Somehow, eventually, you will get much
             experiences, much level-ups, and whether you could reach
             Lance or not, let yourself defeated. I mean, if you think
             that your Pokémon aren't good enough to battle in this place,
             it's OK and just let yourself beaten. Once all of your buddy
             fainted, move inside the building and talk to the man with
             Abra and get way back home to mom. Save all of your money
             with your mom again, SURF to the east water area, move about
             two square left and you should be able to FLY back to Indigo
             Plateau. Prepare your Pokémon again, face the Elite Four
             again, get beaten (or retreat) again, talk to the man with
             Abra, save ALL your money, lather, rinse, repeat. That way,
             you will eventually build up your Pokémon level plus you
             will gain some money as you could beat some of the Elites.
             By using that way, I could eventually beat up all the Elites
             with less problem, so I guess it won't hurt for you to try
             so.

Treasures:: N/A (this time, focus on the battle of your lifetime :)

             inside... After that, the guy will tell you that his ITEM-
             FINDER is responding. Now, don't act dumb by checking the
             ground. Just leave him, move up the bridge and turn around
             to the river in west. Keep moving down and you will eventu-
             ally see the guy again. Now, in front of that guy, to the
             west, you should see a corner. Check it. This is by far the
             second hidden treasure that was 'clued' by a person in the
             game. The first one, I believe, is the item in Burned Tower.

Description:: The old place with new layout.

Treasures::
X DEFEND: Once you enter the place, FLASH it up, move a little to the
         eastern way and see a corner to the north nearby. Stand one
         square before the corner, face east, get the item.
MAX POTION: Now find the ladder down (or is it up?). Down (or up) there,
           move south, find a little corner, and use the usual way.
           Not pretty creative, even in Kanto, eh, GameFreak?
X ACCURACY: Now find the ladder up, and find the next ladder up, and
           some other ladders. Eventually, you will be in a place with
           some rocks lined-up making 90º-ly-counterclockwise-rotated
           L-shape. In English, they should looked like this:
                        O
                     OOOO
           If you still not pretty clear, just use your ITEMFINDER
           each time you climb a ladder and it will eventually show
           you the way. Now, as usual, check the corner inside the L.
           (And if you still not pretty clear enough, it IS in the
            very first floor when you get in the Rock Tunnel via
            Route 9).

             from left-to-right or in reversal, and not vertically.

Treasures::
MAX ETHER: Right in the grasses you met at the first time. It's two square
          away from the southern grasses border and it's one square away
          from the eastern grasses border. If you can't get what I mean,
          just check the grasses :)
MAX ELIXER: Cycle your way down until you hit the wall. Move to the center
           and see there are two fences in the middle of the way. The item
           is in the left fence.

* I'm assuming that you're getting in from near Vermilion City entrance.

Desription:: At first, this place is closed. But once you could collect
            all 8 Kanto badges, and beat all trainers in Kanto, this place
            will be opened up. At least that's what happened to me :)
            I really don't know what makes this place opened again :)
            Seriously, I guess you have to beat the Bikers gang or
            whatever their name was, all of them, and eventually the
            place will be opened up again. As far as I remember, it was
            my very first time to get a hidden item using a ITEMFINDER
            in this place, way back then in Blue. Ahh, memories... :)

Treasures::
X SPECIAL: Alright, once you're underground, move west until you hit the
          wall. Move one step up, press A. One step up again, press A.
          Keep doing this until you found the item. Sorry I couldn't
          notice the exact place :)
FULL RESTORE: From the north ladder, keep moving down a little and press A
             for each step you take. I mean, it's hard to take note when
             everything's look all the same :) Just keep move down and
             you'll find it.

Credits
=============================================================================
Allah SWT, for everything. _Every_thing.

Thanks to:
- CJayC. No reason needed :)
- "DragonSquallZ" <[email protected]>,
 Despite of the little error saying the new hidden item is in Viridian (it
 is actually in Vermillion), but his/her discovery is invaluable for this
 FAQ. Thanx for being so eagle-eyed hunter!!! Check Vermillion section to
 see where the item goes!
- CreatureKeeper 20XX, for making a nice trainer FAQ. It's fun and worth
 reading. Keep rocking and writing :)
- MMeevasin, for making the one and only Gold/Silver walktrough I have in
 my harddisk to help me through the game... It was a great FAQ indeed.
- Donald, for his G/S/C FAQ. I used it as a comparation, as an alternative
 helper, and as a great source of Pokémon thingies. Thanks a lot dude.
- Megawati Soekarnoputri. She's the president of my country, and she (or
 whoever it is) gave us students a long holiday during November-December
 2001, thus giving me a lot of free time to play Gold and make this FAQ :)
- Whoever had an idea for GameFreak to add the feature of registering a key
 item and having SELECT buttion as shortcut to use it in this game. It might
 not pretty important for most people, but for lazybones like me, it helps
 a lot :)
- KLa Project, for keep performing their KLakustik concert back and forth
 while I wrote this FAQ and my other Pokémon FAQ :)
- Rei, for keeping me sane. I know you know who she is. The one with EVA-00,
 I'll be honest. I'm not a freak of NGE, I just liked the art somehow :)

Epilogue
=============================================================================
“For a treasure hunter, there are no more passionating time rather than
        when his detector senses a presence of unknown things,
              buried deep down beneath the earth...”

                                                ~ Quote by, err... myself :)

Well, that's it, all you hunters. I hope the item you find will be helpful in
future, and I hope I will be able to get my hand into Pokémon Advance, what
else than to look for another treasures. Until that time, let us search for
another treasures! Okay, if you found any new treasure I missed, my address
is <[email protected]>. Use Treasure or something like that as subject,
and please don't send in any other thing but new treasures or else it might
get ignored, deleted, or replied with a nasty virus attached... :")
Anyway, if you really want to help, please tell me if there's any hidden
ones in those annoying seas (both Kanto and Johto) that I haven't completed
yet. Thankz alot :)

             “After countless hours in front of the monitor,
                      bathing myself with radiation,
              and miles miles away from home searching for,
              now may I fulfill quite some sleepy ambition?”
