You don't have to complete a Pokemon contest on any version; just step inside the building for the first time to see the dialogue scene and advance the storyline. If you're playing Platinum, your next step is to challenge the Hearthome City's (that's the town you're in) Gym Leader, Fantina, who uses Ghost-type Pokemon. If you're playing Pearl or Diamond, take the exit out the South-East corner of town to Route 209, which will take you to Solaceon Town.

A shiny Pokemon is a Pokemon whose color is different that it would normally be (ex. a red Gyarados is a "shiny" Gyarados, as Gyarados are usually blue). They're very rare, but other than their color, there's nothing particularly special about them (at least as far as I know). I think there's a shiny sparkle, of sorts, that pings next to the opposing Pokemon when you enter battle against a shiny Pokemon (not entirely sure about that). When you own a shiny Pokemon you'll notice there's a red star next to its portrait on its character summary page. Chances are, though, that you won't find a shiny until after you've beaten the game.

Sorry guys i should have elbaorted more. My 3rd badge IS off of that lady Fantina, i managed to beat her and its here where i am stuck now. Just unsure where to go, do i go back the way i came? There is also a route access down South west of the town but its blocked off, something to do with a TV network or something i am unsure.

I hope this helps some more guys, oh and its Pokemon Platinum.

P.S Thankyou Kristine for telling me what shinys are, i suppose i will only know if i am fighting a shiny pokemon by battling all of the old pokemon I.E out of red/blue because i am completely new to all these other pokemon that are in the game. Though i suppose the more i play the more i will learn.

Yea, going from Red and Blue to Platinum is quite the difference, but you'll get used to it the more you play it. :) I played all the games so I witnessed the gradual shift from the original R/B games to the way they are now.

From Hearthome, after beating Fantina, go out the South-East exit to Route 209 to Solaceon Town, then keep heading north until Route 215 steers you East, and that will lead you to Veilstone City and the fourth gym. The Pokemon daycare service is also available in Solaceon.

Also, if you haven't already done it, talk to the hiker standing by the South-East exit and he'll give you a Pokemon egg.

The above post tells you all you need to know, but make sure you use the Quick Questions sticky in future.
