Instructions
Defeat the first seven gym leaders throughout the map of Johto.
Travel to Blackthorn City and enter the gym.
Defeat all of the trainers in the Blackthorn gym and challenge Clair to a fight. Clair is the final gym leader and the most difficult. She uses Dragon-type Pokemon, some of which are Level 100. If you defeat her, she runs away without giving you the Rising Badge.
Travel to the entrance of the Dragon's Den. Clair is hiding inside. The man guarding the cave allows you to pass to find her.
Find Clair inside the shrine within the Dragon's Den. She finally hands over the Rising Badge, as well as two TMs. You are now free to explore the Dragon's Den.
