Route 8

Route 8 is a unique route traveling along east to west from Lavender Town to Saffron City. The dirt road between the two towns winds around in a sideways "S" pattern, traveling past fields and meadows. Starting from the eastern side, Trainers exit Lavender and make their way west, where they come to a forest of trees blocking the path, which must be avoided by turning south and then west again to continue on though the route. The route then makes its way north past a field closed off by a fence, which can be entered from a small gap which is filled by a cuttable tree. If Trainers enter the field with Cut or the Secret Technique Chop Down, they will come up to a spotted patch of tall grass surrounded by red flowers; this is the only patch of tall grass on the route.
