Surge, Erika, Koga, Sabrina, Blaine and Giovanni). The Pokemon League chapter covers the Elite Four, Lorelei, Bruno, Agatha and Lance, and your rival as Champion. The postgame adds 30 stops from Four Island to Cerulean Cave. Navel Rock and Birth Island are listed too, but they were reachable only through events.
