Hey, I have the same problem as you did. I can capture or beat the Red Gyarados but it doesn't drop a Red Scale, and Lance doesn't show up. I saved right before the battle and noticed this. When I go back to the shop with the Rocket base I can't use the stairs like you say you did. So I'm stuck right now.
Oh yeah, are there codes for HG and SS Groudon Kyogre and Rayquaza?
Not for orbs, just to get them from mart guy or in PC.
P.S. Fixed my Gyarados Problem, ended just walking through the stairs into Team Rocket hideout.
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver (U)/(J) Action Replay Codes
