Now that you have a well-balanced team, talk to the green-haired guy standing in the doorway of the gym, the building east of the Pokemon Center. He will walk into the gym once he's done talking and you should follow. Once you enter the gym and take a step forward, a man will notice you and give you a Fresh Water. In fact, he will give you a Fresh Water at every gym in Unova. There are three panels in front of you, one to signify three Pokemon types: grass, fire, and water. There is also a curtain blocking you from the next room that has one of the types on it. You need to step on the panel that the curtain is weak against. The first curtain has a fire symbol on it, so step on the water panel to open the curtain. Beyond the curtain is a Waiter to battle.

The second curtain has a water symbol on it, so walk onto the grass panel. Once the curtain opens, there will be a Waitress waiting to battle you.

The third and final curtain has a grass symbol on it, so walk onto the fire panel. Walk up the stairs to meet with Gym Leader Cilan. He will introduce Gym Leader Chili and Gym Leader Cress. For the first time in a Pokemon game, there are three gym leaders for a single gym. Luckily, you only need to defeat one to get the Trio-Badge. The gym leader you battle is the one that has hair symbolizing the type that your starter is weak against. It is always a good idea to save before a gym leader battle because their Pokemon are more powerful than any other Pokemon you have faced yet. A good strategy for this battle is to use your starter Pokemon (Snivy, Tepig, or Oshawott) to take out the gym leader's Lillipup, and then send out your elemental monkey (Pansage, Pansear, or Panpour) to take out the gym leader's elemental monkey.

If you chose Oshawott, you will battle Cilan.

Once you defeat either Cilan, Chili, or Cress you will be awarded with the Tri-Badge and TM 83, Work Up. TMs are a little different than they used to be in previous Pokemon games. TMs used to be a one-time use item, but now they are unlimited use. This is great because you will most likely find a move that you want to teach to multiple Pokemon, and it saves you from having to look for more copies of the same TM. You also now have the ability to use HM 01 (Cut), which you will get soon, outside of battle.

As you try to walk out of the gym, Fennel will stop you and take you to the second floor of the eastern house that was previously blocked. She will give you HM 01 (Cut). It allows you to cut down small bushes that previously blocked your way. Fennel wants you to go to the Dreamyard and find the Dream Mist from Munna to fix the Game Sync machine.

Now that you can use Cut, you may want to go back to Route 2 and find the bush that's north of the set of ledges. You can find a Super Potion, which restores 50 HP, and a Great Ball. Whether or not you decide to go back to Route 2, head to the Dreamyard again to find the Dream Mist.
