Route 27 (west)

File:Kanto Route27 Map.gif

Route 27, connecting Johto with Kanto

Route 27 is the first area of the Kanto region that you will encounter. After surfing across the western pond, a guy standing nearby will notify you that you have just set foot into the new region. Jump off of the southern shoreline, and surf east to find a Rare Candy. Swim back west and step inside the cave to reach Tohjo Falls.

Tohjo Falls

Tohjo Falls
The Link between
Kanto and Johto

The Tohjo Falls are a pair of waterfalls that links Johto and Kanto, as all Trainers from Johto must pass by on their way to the Pokémon League. Swim out from the entrance to climb the first waterfall, and then ride the eastern wall of water towards the exit. Surf to the east to find a rock-hewn stairway leading to a walkway behind the waterfalls; follow it to the west to find a Moon Stone.
Disguised by the cascading water to the west is a tiny room with nothing of interest but a few breakable rocks and a broken radio. It almost looks like someone was hiding out here...

Route 27 (east)

As you exit Tohjo Falls, visit the old woman in the house on the ledge. If your lead Pokémon's friendship is high enough, she'll reward you with TM37 (Sandstorm). Continue east across the water, and you'll reach a bridge; swim past the whirlpool to the south of Ace Trainer Brian to reach TM02 (Dragon Claw). Walk east from the bridge, and you've got two choices: climb along the cliffside and pick up a Destiny Knot, or simply swim across the whirlpool. Fight past Ace Trainer Reena, and walk up onto the rock outcropping to reach Route 26.

Route 26

File:Kanto Route26 Map.gif

Route 26

Leaving Route 27 from the west, cross the two bridges in order to reach solid ground again. Hike through the two patches of tall grass, and follow the path to the north to find a house with a blue Apricorn tree growing nearby. Speak to the woman inside, and she'll restore your team to full health. If you travel through the large patch of grass to the southwest, you'll reach the home of the Week Siblings; inside is a notebook that lists the day and location that each one appears. Leave the rest stop and continue north on the path, fighting Ace Trainers Joyce, Gaven, Jake, and Jamie as you go; this leads you directly to the Reception Gate. Before you enter the checkpoint, jump down the series of ledges to the west to find a Max Elixir, and loop around to step inside the building.

Pokémon League Reception Gate

As you enter, the first guard will check to see that you have all eight of Johto's badges before allowing you to pass. Beyond him, the Reception Gate is the intersection of three paths; Route 22 to the east, Route 28 and Mt. Silver to the west, and Victory Road to the north(Not Route 23 -- the route no longer exists). With the guards blocking the east and west routes, your only option is to head north to Victory Road.

Victory Road

Victory Road

Victory Road is a rough and rocky place, a reminder that the challenges ahead of you won't be easy either. There are three floors in all, and in some places you'll have to jump down through holes in the floor to get where you need to go.
