Pokémon world locations

Victory Road (Japanese: チャンピオンロード Champion Road) is the final journey that one must take in order to reach the Kalos Pokémon League. It can be accessed from the gate connecting Route 21 and Route 22 by Trainers who have collected eight Badges from the Gyms of Kalos. Surf, Strength, Rock Smash, and Waterfall are required to clear and fully explore the area.

Geography

Before entering Victory Road, the player must present eight Badges to Ace Trainer Robbie and defeat him in a battle before they're allowed to enter a passageway decorated with banners featuring the eight Kalos Badges. The gate at the end of the passageway, upon verifying the player's eight Badges, opens up into a stairway leading to the first segment of Victory Road.

Victory Road is made up of highland cave and grove areas, with ruins of what seems like an ancient fortress scattered all across the groves. The first and second groves also have a couple of rivers and waterfalls streaming through them. Several hidden areas can only be accessed by taking detours from the main path. With Strength, the player can create a shortcut from the first cave to the second cave and grove for easier later access. In the second grove, a female Pokémon Ranger will fully heal the player's Pokémon when talked to.

Trivia

• Veteran Timeo says "my body is ready" before battling the player, a reference to the meme spawned from a statement made by Nintendo of America's then-President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime at the unveiling of the Wii Balance Board at E3 2007, "My body… my body is ready!"
• This Victory Road has the highest-level Trainers battled at any Victory Road before post-game, with Veteran Inga's Talonflame and the rival's first partner Pokémon both being at level 61.
• Artist Vincent is likely named after Vincent van Gogh.
