Route 09

Route 09 is a dangerous route, even if only for its length. The route is punishingly long. It cuts through a mountain and is filled with all sorts of rocky crags and cliffs. It is a barren place, where only rocks and few weeds clutter the path. While the sky is open, it only invites a heat which lifts from the lonesome rocks in mirages. Very little life crosses the path, save for those determined trainers, their faithful pokémon, and the pokémon that call the barren place home. On the eastern edge of the path, the mountainous path merges with the ocean into a watery path, which swings north to Beryl City. To the west, the path connects to Feldspar City, and to Patuxent cave in the south.
