Route 19

Route 19 starts from Aspertia City and twists its way round to the east where Floccesy Town is situated. It is here where Bianca will give the tutorial on how to catch wild Pokémon. A Youngster on this route will inform the player about ledge jumping. Just before entering Floccesy Town, former Champion Alder greets the player after jumping down a tall cliff at the end of the route. The northern section of this route cannot be accessed until after the move Surf can be used. If the player accesses this northern section early, such as by trading in a Pokémon that knows Surf, an NPC will block the path along the cliff leading to where Alder jumps down from if the cutscene has not been activated yet.
