After defeating Derek, take the path to the south and at the end, you'll find a bag of Bright Powder. Head back to the first junction and take the right path until you find a Big Root item, then follow the path round — avoiding the Duo trainers for a second — and you'll find TM24 Snore at the end. Now you can take on the two trainers stood throwing balls in the air.

Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I possibly can or die trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
