Head back to where you were stopped by the rock. Use Rock Smash, and Nim will scurry off again. The next section has some grass and water, and there's a few useful wild pokemon in here:

Head right, and you;ll see Nim down the stairs. Approach her and she'll make her Solrock use Rock Slide to stop you again. Smash the rock and continue down the path. There's a set of Trees here which you can headbutt - highly recommend picking up an Aipom to start picking up items.

When you get to the end of the bridge a tree will move to the left. Keep going left, and you'll enter a small clearing where "Pokemon come out to play in the morning" (this feature is broken as of v5.3 and will be fixed by v6). Find Nim hidden in the corner as a Tree and speak to her multiple times to get her to teleport away.
Continue down the path on the right, and you'll end up at a cave entrance with a Nurse Joy and Shop Attendant. Nim will be blocking your entrance to Amethyst Cave. Speak to her and she'll challenge you to a battle....in a another dimension!

After you defeat her, she'll give you a TwistedSpoon and teleport you back. Now you can proceed through Amethyst Cave. Before you do so though, pick up this Full Heal though:
Amethyst Cave
When you enter the cave, you'll notice Venam fighting off two grunts, at-the-same-damn-time, at-the-same-damn-time. There are also some wild Pokemon:
Go right and you'll have to battle one yourself:
Proceed through the cave entrance, and proceed to face another trainer. Be sure to grab this Blue Shard too. Exit through the next exit.

Go right and you'll have to battle one yourself:
- Team Xen Zeneth: Lv 19 Vulpix, Lv 20 Drifloon, Lv 20 Vanillite (shadow)
Proceed down the stairs, and Ren will greet you. He'll suggest you take the North path, but ebfore you can decide, a Galvantula comes down and scares him and he goes and chases after it. If you folllow the path upwards, you'll find him stuck in the web. What an idiot. Anyway, you will need to take the south path, and fight some grunts (there's no point going up those stairs since you will require surf to go any further).
- Team Xen Timothy: Lv 20 Corphish, Lv 20 Bonsly (Shadow), Lv 20 Aron, Lv 20 Scraggy
- Team Xen Ben: Lv 17 Sneasel, Lv 18 Ariados
Pick up TM05 Roar on your way down:
Fight another grunt and proceed down the stairs.
- Team Xen Alyssa: Lv 19 Alomomola
Stuff is about to happen. Use the red diamond sparkling thing to heal your squad and then proceed upwards into the clearing. Zetta will greet you:
Ren and Venam will catch up and more dialogue will start. He'll explain that Melia no longer exists on this universe, because she was killed! He'll produce Melia's robe, and explain he found Galvantula chewing on it before. People get angry, and you'll be able to choose between Ren and Venam to team up to battle Zetta.
- Team Xen Executive Xetta (Double battle): Lv 23 Sneasel, Lv 24 Croagunk, Lv 25 Quilladin, Lv 22 Absol
- Partner: Ren - Lv 27 Scraggy, Lv 27 Houndour, Lv 27 Murkrow, Lv 27 Frogadier
After the battle, Zetta will summon a Dimensional Rift to steal your soul or something. Incoming battle!
- Dimensional Rift Galvantula (Doubles): Lv 24 Joltik, Lv 25 Joltik, Lv 27 Joltik, Lv 27 Joltik, Lv 29 (D) Galvantula
Suddenly, Zetta will realise Galvantula isn't working properly or something. He'll shout at it to do it's masters bidding, but a mysterious voice will tell it not to. Someone's Gothitelle will use Mind Breaker, and subdue the DR. Crescent will appear with her Gothitelle:
In the most badass move of the day, she'll tell Zetta that only she can control DRs, and procede to warp him into another dimension. Venam will waste no time afterwards being an ice queen and run away. Ren will tell you to go through the cave and challenge the next gym in Sheridan Village. Before you leave, step up Melia's coat and pick up her Room ID.
Melia's Room ID opens a room at the Pokemon Laboratory, where you'll be able to get the Exp. Share.
Go back to the room you came in and head upwards. You'll traverse through a set of stairs, and pick up a few items on the way.
When you get to this room, you'll see the other members of your gang fighting the rival gang. Speak to Korrina and she'll inform you that the other members of the gang are being taken care of, and you need to take out the boss, who'll be the guy who isn't fighting anyone at the moment.
- Gang Member Charly : Lv 25 Machoke, Lv 26 Vigoroth, Lv 26 Mankey
After the fight, Korrina will thank you for participating and to meet back at their base for a reward. For those of you lacking a Fire-type, the reward is Houndour, which might be worth going back to Gearen City for. I'll cover this later on when we have to go back to Gearen for the storyline.
- Super Nerd Edward: Lv 22 Voltorb, Lv 23 Emolga
As you approach the the end of the cave, dialogue will appear, and you'll see a mysterious figure (Keta) talking to a few grunts. After he's done with them, he'll address you sort of spookily, and exit the cave. You should exit the cave too now.
