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

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.]

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.

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?

[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.

[ i--is she being yelled at... ]

so the stuff we got when we turned up here? and a real tent too, i guess
is that really gonna be enough?

text

[fortunatetoaster]

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

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

[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

[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.

[codeforhope]

It wouldn't hurt to ask, I think!

[scratchitti]

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

[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!

[wing_attack]

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.

SHOULD BE

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

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.

[fortunatetoaster]

oh
i never even thought about that!!
i have a fire pokemon but i guess it ain't fair to use em for that if it's raining
thanks!

text

[fortunatetoaster]

i'll give it a shot
there's gotta be someone who'd wanna go on a trip, right?

text

[fortunatetoaster]

maybe i should catch one
i mean i feel kinda bad catching a pokemon just to use it to ride around on
maybe someone could trade me one, if i bred something for em?
i have an eevee and a mareep and a vulpix...

[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?

[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

[scratchitti]

Once they know the move Fly it doesn't matter. Like, I use my Smeagle to get around and they don't even have wings. Though it's pretty awkward looking.

Though assuming you're a trainer you might not be able to use the HM anyways.

[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

[fortunatetoaster]

seriously?? how do they even take off if they don't have wings? built in jetpacks or something???

oh i aint a trainer though. i'm a breeder. i dunno where to get hms and stuff though. don't you have to beat a gym or something to get one?

[scratchitti]

They actually use their tails like helicopter blades. It's really weird to watch. But Smeargle can learn any move so they're the exception not the rule.

But hey, as a breeder you don't have to beat the gyms- just find someone with the hm you can borrow and a flying pokemon and you're golden.

I don't have the hm, I just Sketched the move. But... you said you're in Goldenrod, right? If you really don't wanna walk it I guess I can give you a ride. It's really too cold for traveling safely.
