So does anyone know what the trip to Ecruteak is like? If you're going from Goldenrod.

There was a whole lot of dancing at that party a while back and it was kinda fun. So I thought when I got back, I'd try looking into it and learning a little. And then I heard there's a group of dancers in Ecruteak! So I was like, great!

But I've been looking at maps and stuff and it takes like, a week to get there. And I've never traveled that far. I only got to Goldenrod when all that crazy stuff happened just after I got here and I don't even remember how I got here.

So, like... how do I prep? It's not a hard trek or anything, is it? Have any of you guys had any trouble?

ITS NOT SO BAD

STANDARD CAMPING GEAR SHOULD DO THE JOB

SHOULD BE

BE SURE TO STOCK UP ON CAMPFIRE SUPPLIES IN CASE IT RAINS

I haven't gone that way, yet. It doesn't sound any harder then the trip I had to take to get from Violet to Azalea, though.

[That was something she did not want to do again.]

what was that like? i only did the first stretch so i don't really know what travelling around here's like

[stitchedupbodyguard]

It's terrible. You spend a week walking through grass, and then you have to go through a dark cave where everything tries to attack you.

I just recently took the same trip you are planning to take, and it wasn't that bad at all. A bit cold for traveling, of course...so you may want to make sure the weather will hold when you go.

But I also traveled with others, so that helped, too.

text

[fortunatetoaster]

so maybe i should think about seeing if someone wants to go with me?

i mean it makes sense to have a travel buddy but i dunno if any of my friends here right now would wanna take a trip like that...

text

[codeforhope]

It wouldn't hurt to ask, I think!

It isn't so bad. The trip might seem a little daunting if you're not used to it but it really isn't too difficult. Do you have any pokemon you can use for riding?

text

[fortunatetoaster]

nah

well, i got a sheep, but she's way too small to ride on. and the others are all really little too. so unless one of em evolves into something huge in the next couple days i think i'm gonna have to walk it

text

[in_praetego]

If you have a Ponyta or a Blitzle, that should be a pokemon you can use to ride.

It might be a long trip but your pokemon might enjoy it. Though you should probably bring something warm. It's been cold lately.

[armoredsoul]

It's not too bad! The weather right now aside, the routes are pretty easy to get across. You just want to make sure you have proper camping equipment.

[fortunatetoaster]

yeah. like a proper tent, right? i already got a sleeping bag and the stuff they give you when you turn up here, but i haven't got a real tent yet.

[armoredsoul]

Yeah, a tent will be really important! And you'll want to get some supplies to properly manage a campfire, too. You don't want to just rely on holding your own warmth.

[scratchitti]

You should get a pokemon that can Fly. It's a huge help

[fortunatetoaster]

like a big bird? it'd have to be a pretty big one to carry me though, right?
i ain't seen any big birds like that around here... so i'd have to catch a little one and see if it evolved into somethin big enough?

[loveisanopendoor]

I've been there before a couple of times! I haven't gone in a while, not since before Elsa got here a couple of months ago? But it's pretty much a straight shot up, to the right, and up again!

The best part about it is you get to go through National Park. Have you ever been there, Labrys? It's really beautiful!

[fortunatetoaster]

oh, that's right in the middle of the path, aint it?
i haven't been yet but i've heard people say it's real pretty

does it take long to get through? i totally forgot about the park when i was workin out how long the trip would be

It's not so bad. It's just cold. Flying helps, but if you don't have that option... it's okay. Just take as much time as you need. Maybe take a fire type with you, too.

text

[fortunatetoaster]

i've got a fire type!
her name's mitsuru and she's like a little fox, a vulpix?? or something
so should i make sure she's out and about with me? or i guess if it's cold it's better keeping her inside her pokeball

text;

[superordinary]

It's not so bad, in my opinion. Though it is rather cold so I recommend bringing a Fire-type with you.

text

[fortunatetoaster]

yeah, a couple people said that!
i got a vulpix so she's gonna be coming along with me and i'm gonna let all my pokemon sleep with me in the tent when we buckle down for the night

Just make sure you have plenty of supplies and are dressed for the weather. But it looks like everyone else has told you that already.

Are you going to Ecruteak for the gym or some other reason?

text

[fortunatetoaster]

... man i didn't even know there was a gym there to be honest

I actually heard there were a bunch of dancers there... and well all that dancing at the party was fun, right? So I thught it might be fun to see what kind of dancing they did.
