Chapter 9: Lurking Steel Titan
East Province (Area Three)
Our next objective will be to defeat another one of the Titan Pokémon. It will be the Lurking Steel Titan on the eastern side of the map. If you just finished up the gym in Levincia, you should already be in the area. Otherwise you should fly to the Pokémon Center at Levincia (North). Make sure you are healed up, then set out on the dirt path to the north of the city.
Steel Pokémon are weak to Fire, Fighting, and Ground-types, so you should probably prepare one of those as you go along this path. Head north through the grassy area for a few moments and you'll soon arrive in East Province (Area Three). Here you'll find a new selection of Pokémon and trainers to battle. The path wraps around back south to get up the mountain, so you'll want to keep following the path. But you can feel free to check out the rocky area to the east and train up first if you'd like. There's several trainers there to battle. You can also find TM106 - Drill Run in the area.
Back on the path, if you check out the little area with the scaffolding you can defeat a trainer and pick up a few items. A little further up the path you'll receive a call from Arven. He'll let you know that the Lurking Steel Titan is in this area. Continue along this path, battling any trainers that you'd like as you go along. There's another mining area off to the right that you can explore if you'd like. However, we'll be back here soon enough anyway.
Lurking Steel Titan
Continue ahead and then take a right down into the mining area when you approach the marked destination. You'll see the giant worm Pokémon, Orthworm, in the mine here. He will burrow underground when you approach, so you'll just have to chase him around a little bit. He is a Lv. 29 Steel-type. This means Fire, Fighting, and Ground-type moves will do the most damage. After you do enough damage in the first battle, Orthworm will scurry off into the cave ahead.
Follow the Titan into his narrow cave and chase him down in this new area. Once you do, Arven will show up and join you for the second battle with Orthworm. It's essentially the same as before, but you'll have a little help. Remember that you can also Terastallize to make the fight a little easier.
Once the fight is over, you'll follow Arven into the cave that Orthworm opened up. Inside you'll find some Salty Herba Mystica. He'll also give you the Steel Titan Badge. Arven will once again make a sandwich with the Herba Mystica you found. When you give some to Koraidon/Miraidon, it will gain the ability to jump higher. Mabosstiff will also get some and regain some of his strength. You'll get a call from Professor Sada afterward who explains your partner's newfound jumping ability.
Catching the Titan
After defeating the Titan, you can return to the site of the original battle for a chance to catch the Titan Pokémon. You'll find it laying on the ground in front of the cave. It's a Lv. 29 Orthworm with max height and weight and a special Titan Mark. It also has 30 IVs for all of its stats. Make sure to save before engaging the battle and be very careful not to knock it out, as it will not respawn (unless you reset to a save).
In the next chapter we'll be shifting back to the Victory Road objective and taking on our fourth gym.
