Berry
Dire Hit

Revive
X Special

There are two roads diverged in a yellow wood. If you take the one less traveled
by, it will make all the difference.

Haha, just kidding. But Routes 45 and 46 do have forks in the road. If you want
to fight every trainer and grab every item, you can fly back to Blackthorn City
to go down the other forks in the road.

LEFT PATH:

The left path is an entrance to the Dark Cave. You can keep going down for an
Elixir. There's also one trainer you can battle.

Hiker Parry
Level 29 Onix (670 EXP)
You get: 1856G

MIDDLE PATH:

The right path splits into both a middle path and a right path.

Hiker Erik
Level 24 Machop (385 EXP)
Level 24 Machop (385 EXP)
Level 27 Graveler (774 EXP)
You get: 1728G

RIGHT PATH:

Cooltrainer Ryan
Level 25 Pidgeot (920 EXP)
Level 27 Electrabuzz (901 EXP)
You get: 1296G

There's a Max Potion south of Ryan. There's one more trainer:

Cooltrainer Kelly
Level 27 Marill (920 EXP)
Level 24 Warortle (735 EXP)
Level 24 Warortle (735 EXP)
You get: 1152G

COMBINED PATH:

The path combines after Cooltrainer Kelly, then splits off again. The left path
has nothing, so take the right path.

RIGHT PATH:

Blackbelt Kenji
Level 28 Machoke (776 EXP)
You get: 672G

Talk to him again and he will give you his phone number. Look at you, getting
everyone's digits just like that. You're so cool. The path splits off again here
into a left and a right path.

LEFT PATH:

You can grab a Revive and a Nugget. Nom nom. Oh wait, these are gold nuggets,
not chicken nuggets. Please save them for resale instead. There are also two
trainers here.

Hiker Timothy
Level 27 Diglett (468 EXP)
Level 27 Dugtrio (885 EXP)
You get: 864G

Why do I do things? Because they're there. I guess it's a thing to do.

Camper Quentin
Level 27 Fearow (1041 EXP)
Level 30 Primeape (957 EXP)
Level 30 Tauros (1350 EXP)
You get: 600G

You can drop down the right side to grab the Mystery Berry.

RIGHT PATH:

Taking the right path eventually leads you to Trainer Bailey.

|--------|
|Route 46|
|--------|

Pokémon found in Route 46:

#019 Rattata
#021 Spearow
#074 Geodude

There are, again, the two paths. Upon reaching Route 46 you will notice an
entrance to a cave. This is the Dark Cave you saw WAY back in Route 31. 

LEFT PATH:

Camper Ted
Level 17 Mankey
You get: 680G

You can pick up a Dire Hit to the left of Ted. You can go down to fight a
Picnicker.

Picnicker Erin
Level 16 Ponyta (520 EXP)
Level 16 Ponyta (520 EXP)
You get: 640G

Grab the Berry and PrzCure Berry to the left of it, then drop down just below
the cave.

RIGHT PATH:

You'll fight Hiker Bailey, a Geodude hoarder.

Hiker Bailey
Level 13 Geodude (238 EXP)
Level 13 Geodude (238 EXP)
Level 13 Geodude (238 EXP)
Level 13 Geodude (238 EXP)
Level 13 Geodude (238 EXP)
You get: 582G

Here, you can fly back up to Blackthorn City, heal at the Pokémon Center, and
take different paths down Routes 45 and 46 so that you can also face the other
trainers and get the other items. If you don't care about that or you've already
done that, you can just fly to New Bark Town to skip having to bike Route 29.
This is, by the way, how people stop getting exercise. They end up taking better
forms of transportation that make them lazy and they suddenly don't do cardio
anymore. Sad times.

|-------------|
|New Bark Town|
|-------------|

Talk to Professor Elm in his lab. He'll give you a Master Ball. You are the
lucky winner of the Master Ball sweepstakes. Since you have gotten eight badges,
you can now enter the Pokémon League. Yay! Now go into your own house and if you
talk to your mom, you can withdraw money (which is a whole fifth of what you've
gotten over time). Visit your room if you'd like. You've been gone from a long
time from home.

Now, fly back to Cherrygrove City and withdraw Togepi temporarily. Fly back to
New Bark Town, talk to Elm again, and you'll get an Everstone. Now fly back to
Cherrygrove City and put your original Pokémon back in the lineup. Also deposit
any items that you don't need in your PC. Head to the east of the town, then
surf eastward onto Route 27.

|--------|
|Route 27|
|--------|

Pokémon found on Route 27:

#020 Raticate      
#024 Arbok         
#028 Sandslash  
#072 Tentacool (in water)   
#077 Ponyta        
#084 Doduo         
#085 Dodrio        
#195 Quagsire      

Items found on Route 27:

TM22 Solar Beam
TM37 Sandstorm

Are you finished building up your Pokémon and with doing everything else you
want to do in Johto, at least for now? If so, it's time to head towards the
Elite Four. Bring the team you want that also has all the HMs you need.

Now surf eastward from New Bark Town. When you land on the other side, the first
guy you see will tell you that you've entered Kanto. If you've played the
original games (Red, Blue, or Yellow), you'll recognize that the land looks very
familiar. If you access your Pokegear, it will show that you are now in Kanto!

You'll see a cave entrance. Don't go in yet, because caves are scary! Instead,
surf southeast of the cave entrance and you'll find a Rare Candy. I'm not really
sure that you should be feeding your Pokémon candy off the shore of a lake. It
doesn't seem sanitary, but it's rare so I guess that makes it okay. I tend to
save my Rare Candies but they level up your Pokémon by one level. Surf back to
shore and then enter the cave into Tohjo Falls.

|-----------|
|Tohjo Falls|
|-----------|

Pokémon found in Tohjo Falls:

#019 Rattata
#079 Slowpoke
#119 Seaking

You'll notice a Waterfall. Head along the sea route and down the other
waterfall. Those are the falls. Did you expect more? I know, the name sounded
more grand than it really was. Now head out the door you see back to Route 27.

|--------|
|Route 27|
|--------|

A trainer will immediately battle you right after you exit the Tohjo Falls.

Cooltrainer Megan
Level 32 Bulbasaur (438 EXP)
Level 32 Ivysaur (966 EXP)
Level 32 Venusaur (1425 EXP)
You get: 1536G

Enter the house, and speak to the lady there. If one of your Pokémon is happy
she will give you TM37 Sandstorm. Then head east and surf across the lake.

Cooltrainer Blake
Level 33 Magneton (1138 EXP)
Level 31 Exeggcute (651 EXP)
Level 31 Quagsire (909 EXP)
You get: 1488G

Keeping head east and you'll battle a few more trainers.

Cooltrainer Brian
Level 35 Sandslash (1222 EXP)
You get: 1680G

Psychic Gilbert
Level 30 Starmie (1330 EXP)
Level 30 Exeggcute (630 EXP)
Level 34 Girafarig (1084 EXP)
You get: 1088G

Surf down from this trainer along the Coral till you find a Whirlpool. Remove
the Whirlpool then land on the island with the item.

Bird Keeper Jose
Level 35 Farfetch'd (705 EXP)
You get: 816G

You could exchange phone numbers with him, but you'll be out of room on your
list. Grab the item above him (TM22 Solar Beam), then surf back to the bridge.
Then keep heading along the path and you'll fight the final trainer of the
route.

Cooltrainer Reena
Level 31 Starmie (1374 EXP)
Level 31 Starmie (1374 EXP)
Level 33 Nidoqueen (1371 EXP)
You get: 1488G

After this battle, you can head east to Route 26.

Pokémon found on Route 26:

#020 Raticate      
#024 Arbok         
#028 Sandslash     
#077 Ponyta        
#084 Doduo         
#085 Dodrio        
#195 Quagsire

Items found on Route 26:

Ice Berry
Max Elixir

Welcome to Route 26. Your first battle is against a fisherman. His name is
Scott.

Fisher Scott
Level 30 Qwilfish (642 EXP)
Level 30 Qwilfish (642 EXP)
Level 34 Seaking (1237 EXP)
You get: 1360G

Keep moving up the right path to fight more trainers.

Psychic Richard
Level 36 Espeon (1519 EXP)
You get: 1152G

Keep heading up till you find a house. Talk to the woman in there and she will
heal all your Pokémon for free. She's basically a one-person Pokémon Center.
Don't you just love free veterinarian health care? If you've ever had to pay vet
bills, you'll come to appreciate this lady very much. Give her a hearty round of
applause.

Cooltrainer Joyce
Level 36 Pikachu (631 EXP)
Level 32 Blastoise (1440 EXP)
You get: 1536G

Head up and you can grab the Ice Berry. You can move up further and then fight
another trainer who thinks he's cool. I think I'm pretty cool, but I don't go
around telling people that I am.

If you go down the left path at this point, you will find a house with Monica's
journal. Why are you snooping around? Okay, fine, I won't judge. It's a list!
Lists are amazing. It's all the trainers you can get swag from, along with the
days and locations that they will be:

Monday: Monica, Route 40
Tuesday: Tuscany, Route 29
Wednesday: Wesley, Lake of Rage
Thursday: Arthur, Route 36
Friday: Frieda, Route 32
Saturday: Santos, Blackthorn City
Sunday: Sunny, Route 37

Once you get back to where you were, the right path leads you to more trainers.

Cooltrainer Gaven
Level 32 Victreebel (1309 EXP)
Level 32 Krabby (1411 EXP)
Level 32 Flareon (1357 EXP)
You get: 1536G

Cooltrainer Jake
Level 33 Parasect (902 EXP)
Level 35 Golduck (1305 EXP)
You get: 1680G

You can go up, drop down the left side, and do your best BMX bike tricks, and
grab the Max Elixir. You are using your bike, right? You're singularly
responsible for that bike shop's business, so get on it! Afterwards, bike back
down and get your Pokémon healed again with the free health care lady. Then go
back up the right side past Jake and you'll encounter one more trainer.

Cooltrainer Beth
Level 36 Rapidash (1478 EXP)
You get: 1728G

If you were to talk to her again you could switch numbers, but it's probably out
of room. Keep heading up, and you will eventually find yourself in the checking
station to the Elite Four. The guard will check your badges and if you have all
eight will let you pass, head in the door and into Victory Road. You can also
pick up an Max Elixir if you take the jumps back to heal.
