Route 206

Route 206

Now that you have the Bicycle you can head past the Lookout station and onto Cycling Road which is part of Route 206. Until you encounter Lucas/Dawn on Route 207 you will be unable to return to Route 205. Before leaving the Eterna City lookout station talk to the guy with blue hair and white coat and glass and learn he is Rowan's assistant and Lucas/Dawns father who will give you an Exp. Share which is a gift from the Professor if you've seen enough Pokémon. Once you are ready head down Cycling Road, battling as many trainers as you wish. Since these trainers have Electric, Flying, and Fire-type Pokémon, having a Geodude with you will make it easy.

Once you reach the southern lookout station you can step onto the rest of Route 206 where here you will find a berry patch as will as a small tree that can be Cut which is located on the right side of the lookout station. Past the tree is a grassy area and you can find some wild Pokémon along with some items, another trainer, and another berry patch. This is the first place where you can find a wild Bronzor that occasionally has a Metal Coat that you can take for either powering up Steel-type moves or evolving Onix into Steelix.

Also on this route is the entrance to Wayward Cave which is along the grassy area that also has a hidden entrance which is located underneath the bridge that cannot be seen. This leads to a hidden area of the cave. While you can explore the main cave area there is nothing important for now unless if you wish to train your team. You can come back later after you've beaten the Canalave Gym to explore the hidden area for some good prizes. When ready head south to reach Route 207.

Route 207

The minute you step on this route you'll encounter Lucas/Dawn who ask if your journey is going well before having you guess the gift he/she has in his/her hand. Once you make your choice she will give you the Vs. Seeker which you can use to rechallenge any trainer on the overfield. Lucas/Dawn will also give you the Dowsing Machine which is an upgrade for the Pokétch Watch allowing you to detect any hidden item around you that gives off a bleep that tells you the distance between you and the item in the same fashion as the Itemfinder.

You can now access the berry patch that you couldn't get to earlier as long as it hasn't gone away completely and you can use the Bike to go up and down the Dirt path allowing you easy access to Oreburgh City. If you have a Skull Fossil^{Wrong template. See Template:Sup/doc.} or Armor Fossil^{Wrong template. See Template:Sup/doc.} that was dug up from The Underground it is recommended to head to the Oreburgh Museum to get them reanimated and receiver either a Cranidos^{Wrong template. See Template:Sup/doc.} or Shieldon^{Wrong template. See Template:Sup/doc.}. Anyway all you need to here is defeat the enemy trainers and head into the cave in the east which is the southern part of Mt. Coronet

Mt. Coronet (Southern Area Part 1)

Mt. Coronet Southern Area

The southern end will play an important role in the game later for finding Dialga and Palkia much later in the game, but you will needed to get Surf and Rock Climb first. Anyway when you head for the stairs that are near the entrance, you'll have your first encounter with Cyrus, the Leader of Team Galactic. He'll explain that the myth is that Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh reigon began. He'll also mention that because of human weakness the world had become filled with strife which he is angry with before leaving. There is nothing else you can do for now other than leave through the east exit, though Rock Smash can help make it easier so you won't have to walk as far and encounter as many Pokémon.

Route 208

Route 208

Once here all you have to do is head east to Hearthome City. The trainers here mainly use Pokémon that are weak to Flying, Fighting, Water, and Grass-types, so having a Zubat, Roselia, along with a Machop or Monferno will make it easy to fight in this place. Once you come back with Surf and Rock Climb you should be able to face the two trainers that you can't face right now.

Once you head down the stairs from the mountain area to the grassy area, talk to the man in the Karate clothes near the Honey tree to receive the Odd Keystone which can be taken to the Hallowed Tower on Route 209. Also in this area is the Berry Master's house. He'll give you a berry once a day which are different kinds from the ones handed out in Floaroma Town. His wife will sell Mulch. His daughter will give you the Berry Searcher, an upgrade for your Pokétch that lets you see where all the current ripe berries are located. Afterwards head east to Hearthome City.
