Route 20

Route 20 starts from the south at Floccesy Town, where a Youngster and a Lass are. The northern section of the route leads to Floccesy Ranch before looping southwest to the route's western exit. Although this route appears early in the game, travelers cannot head eastwards until they have earned their first badge. Once the Basic Badge has been obtained, Hiker Jerome will let them pass. The route continues down a set of steps into a small valley, before heading east to Virbank City. This route is the first place travelers from Aspertia City will encounter dark grass. During autumn, leaves will pile up at various spots on the route. This enables access to secluded items not reachable in other seasons, as well as trainers on the south end of the route.
