You’ll spend most of your time in Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen exploring Kanto, as defeating all eight gym leaders and catching your perfect team of Pokemon will demand most of your attention until the postgame. However, once you defeat the Elite Four and earn the National Dex, you can fully explore all seven of the Sevii Islands and access hidden side quests, like Selphy’s.
Lady Selphy is a wealthy woman who has gone missing from her estate, Resort Gorgeous, on Five Island. Once you reach this post-game area, it’s time to begin your search for this missing young lady.
Where To Find Lady Selphy
To begin, head to Five Island, where you’ll find an empty house called Resort Gorgeous – this is where Selphy lives, but she’s nowhere to be found. As it turns out, she is missing, and it’s up to you to find Selphy.
Surf northeast from Resort Gorgeous and make your way to the Lost Cave in the northeast. When you arrive, you’ll notice that there’s something very confusing about navigating the rooms in the Lost Cave.
However, the cave will tell you which way to go based on the number of rocks you count in each room.
Imagine a clock and picture the positions of each number on the clock.
Essentially, the numbers three, six, nine, and 12 represent the four cardinal directions:
- Three means East
- Six means South
- Nine means West
- 12 means North
Thus, all you need to do is count how many rocks are in each room, and go in the direction that they indicate, according to the above conversions.
For example, in this room, the correct direction to go would be north, since there are 12 rocks in the room.
Once you successfully navigate to the tenth room, you’ll finally encounter Selphy, though she’s frightened and wants to battle you rather than accept help.
Defeat her team of two Level 49 Persian, and she’ll immediately return to her house on Resort Gorgeous.

What Rewards Does Lady Selphy Give You?
Once you return to Resort Gorgeous, Selphy will thank you for helping her, then dismiss you without much fanfare. However, you can speak to her further and earn rewards for satisfying her curiosity.
Selphy will ask you to bring her a Pokemon to see, and will reward you for your time for each one you bring.
The reward she will give you is determined the moment she asks for the Pokemon, so you can’t soft reset for a different reward.
Selphy’s list of possible rewards and their chance of dropping are as follows:
|
Selphy’s Rewards |

Selphy will change which Pokemon she wants to see every 250 steps you take, so you don’t have much time before she becomes bored and asks to see another Pokemon.
