Route 9

Route 9 starts out as a cold, snowy route. The same river that runs through Route 8 also appears here. Unlike on Route 8, however, here it is possible to traverse the river and access a secluded area where TM64 (Avalanche) and a wanderer Glalie can be found. Circhester Bay is a large body of water largely covered in floating chunks of ice, creating a natural maze that must be traversed in order to reach the other side. Several pieces of land are also present here, where Trainers and a Pokémon Camp can be found. In the west, there's a secluded beach with a pair of Swimmers, and in the south, the bay is bordered by another sandy beach. Due to the area's watery nature, an upgraded Rotom Bike is required to cross it.
