Similar to its supposed 'sister route', High Prairie, Wildflower Plains in a large explanse of rolling hills with very few trees in sight. Wildflowers cover almost ever inch of the area and, in the distance, a small farmhouse is visible. It belongs to the Winthrows, a rather well known and friendly family of farmers.

Sticking with the trend of keeping towns rather small, Oakwood Grove is indeed a small town. It is rather favored as a retirement town, and is heavily shaded beneath the canopies of large oak trees, hence it's name. Really, it is a beautiful spot for trainers to just sit back and relax after the heat of the past route, and past this town the path splits, and you must choose to take either the path of Shiloh Cave or Oceanside Road.

Oceanside Road consists of a well-worn path winding along the edge of the sea. This is a popular stop because of the warm sun and the gentle waves that normally lap against the shore, and people can normally be seen swimming in the warm waters. This is believed to be the home of the rare Pokemon, Lapras, and a fishing dock extends off the path for those that wish to try their hand at the sport.

Thriftone City is the largest port town in the region, even hosting its own gym and the large Baywatch Harbor. Most of the buildings seem to be of a much larger, skyscraper category, and the Geographic History Museum that is situated here is also the base to the resident Valence Mining Corporation. The gym leader, Marius, is a master of water element Pokémon and has been known to put on shows in the streets of Thriftone to help fund charities in the Lanorae region. If you manage to defeat this kind-hearted leader, he will present you with the Oceanshore Badge and, of course, a few little prizes of his choosing.

There are two possible ways to navigate the expanse of deep ocean, the first of which being considered the easier. You can either take a ship from Thriftone City, provided you have a boarding pass, or can sail across the water on the back of a Pokémon with the HM Surf. Either way, you can be sure you'll find challenges along the route.

Port Town is quite possibly the least technologically advanced town in the Lanorae region. Still a victim of pirate attacks, and lacking in electricity, it is actually quite a dangerous spot to stay for too long. Even the Pokémon Center doesn't have the technology that most have, the nurses that work there having to resort to older methods of healing, such as herbs. However, their docks are, strangely enough, made for the more advanced ships of Thriftone City and other towns to dock in, accompanied by the wooden sail ships of their own town.

Lua Lake is a rather tropical area, the shores decorated by exotic trees of many types, and the same goes for the Pokémon that are found here. Across the glittering surface on the far shore rests ancient monuments and temples, their origins and legends long forgotten. However, they do seem to be a popular spot for treasure hunters.

Though considerably more advanced than the previous town of Port Town, Rashin Village is still rather dependent on older technology. They cannot tap into the region-wide power supply and, therefore, have their own source of energy in the form of a large watermill located in the nearby Rashin River. If you manage to beat the gym leader, Shar, he will present you with the Thunderstom badge and, like previous leaders, a few gifts of his choosing. From the outskirts of Rashin Village, you can either pursue the river it's named for, the Rashin River, or brave the overgrown expanses of the Reinic Forest.

It truly takes an expert hand to control a raft down the swift, white water expanses of Rashin River. Fortunately, rocky ledges border the unforgiving turmoil, allowing a slightly safer passage through the route. Surprisingly enough, many Pokémon have found this route to be a favorable home, despite the dangers the swift moving waters hold.

Perhaps better named the Reinic 'Rainforest', the Reinic Forest in a rather large expanse of overgrown foliage that is considered rather hard to find a path through. Indeed, many people have attempted to pave a path, however, the forest seems to just grow over it, at rather alarming speed. Perhaps this has something to do with the legends of a large avian that is said to make this forest it's home.

A rather beautiful seaside location, Rampage Bay, however, does have its unique oddities. For some reason, it seems that the houses located here are situated on raised foundations that require stairs to allow you entrance to the buildings. Quite the curious thing.

A rather treacherous path if you don't know how to navigate the swiftly changing currents and fearsome whirlpools of this route, the Sea of Currents is, nevertheless, a sanctuary for numerous strong water type Pokémon. Large creatures such as Wailmer are a rather common sight in the area, however, as are large predators such as Sharpedo.

Abyss Island is believed to be a small section of land that has since broken away from the main island of Raesina over the last few thousand years. Since its separation, numerous caverns have formed beneath its surface, creating an expansive maze that few, even the citizens of the island, dare to attempt.

The welcome beginning that symbolizes your return to the Lanorae mainland; Lune Lagoon is a large, open bay that borders Dark City, and is well-known for its supposed connection with the moon. Some say different images can be seen glowing on its surface during solar eclipses, as the water actually caught the moonlight within its depths.

The large, hilly expanses of the Haunted Downs is quite a dramatic change from the tree embraced streets of Dark City. Tombstones rise in uneven intervals throughout the route, and ghosts are said to patrol the dark shadows of the downs, waiting for those unexpecting enough to stray to far from the path. Hidden amongst the tombstones lies a hidden tower, one that some believe contains the tortured souls of the living. After all, howls are said to radiate from its interior.

Rising from low-lying mounds or earth that make up the Haunted Downs is a small mountain, which is believed to be a long-known refuge for those with spiritual power. Many decades ago, a small village was built around the peak of the mountain, and slowly prospered over the years. However, the reasoning why people wished to move to such a forboding place, even enough to build a gym, is quite unknown.

Despite the steadily growing heat that makes most plant-life beyond Odyssey Peak unable to grow, the Eternal Forest still flourishes year round. The lush, green leaves never fall, even during the autumn months as it's believed an ancient guardian makes this forest its home and allowed the foliage to prosper. The Eternal Forest is one of the two paths to the Peak of Rebirth.

The second of the two paths that lead from Odyssey Peak, Dying Pass clearly displays the effects the increasing heat has on the surrounding environment. Only the sparsest grasses grow in the hardened lava that once flowed through the area many years ago, and this path has since become a haven for fire types.

Past both routes of the Eternal Forest and Dying Pass, another mountain rises high into the air. Once an active volcano, this peak has long since fell into a deep slumber, allowing a civilization to be built upon it. The people that have chosen to live amongst the fiery air place much faith in bird of rebirth, Ho-oh, and a shrine has even been erected in its honor amongst the hardened magma of the inner crater.

Extending downward into the very heart of the Peak of Rebirth is Core Cave, an ancient network of magma caves that were formed long ago. Since then the magma has hardened, but the heat radiating from the flowing fires still remains as obvious as it once did. The sheer heat caused by the caves makes it a sanctuary for fire types, however, for ordinary humans it is difficult to pass through the extreme heat without the aide of strong water Pokémon to cool the air.

Located just outside the exit of Core Cave, Leerah City is a bustling town that is dedicated to forging jewelry and other arts with the large amounts of igneous rock that can be found in the area. Due to the popularity the city is known to receive a young man by the name of Lawrence (though more commonly known as Axel) was chosen to build a gym in the city. He has a fiery passion for the element of fire, and his constant puns and jokes normally provide the perfect distraction for his would-be challengers.

Unlike most of the surrounding area, lava flows are still quite common to see on this route. They bubble up from far beneath the earth, providing dangerous hazards for those who do not step carefully enough to avoid the burning rivers. Fortunately, the Lava Flows are the last of the dangerous fires, and instead the climate will soon turn to a drier heat.

As the heat radiating from the ground beneath, the heat caused by the sun increases. Onyx Village is located on the outskirts of the Dekir Desert, the last location for travelers to stop and gather supplies before the expansive route that leads further into the shifting sands. Until the next city, Onyx is the only source of water.

A world of shifting sands and harsh sunlight makes up the Dekir Desert as it is entered through the Arid Pass. Though many have tried, the sudden sandstorms of the region have made paved roads and paths useless for they easily get covered by the sand that spills into the pass. Fortunately, large rocks provide enough shade to make the heat bearable if one rests every now and again.

A city that has since kept the ancient ways of the desert, most of the buildings here are made from sandstone bricks or carved into the very rock that makes of the large cliff the city is nestled under. No technology resides in the city, and all healing centers and marts are managed by the old ways, using and selling herbs rather than machinery. However, it seems that they have still allowed the tradition of Pokémon training, for a gym in fact resides here. However, it is probably more accurately described as a palace where the young woman Cleopatra resides.

To the outskirts of Heiro City resides a valley that seems to be consumed eternally by a never ending sandstorm. Rock formations and debris that could be visible one moment can be gone in the span of a few hours, making rest while one wanders through this whirling expanse almost impossible.

The soft waves splashing in the inlet bordering Callen Village is a sure sign that the Dekir Desert has finally come to an end. The temperatures surrounding the simple, one-story houses have rather drastically dropped compared to the temperatures found in the actual desert, and the chilly waters further out to see take up more than their fair share of the blame for such a climate change.

Surprisingly frigid waters lay off the coast of the Dekir desert, and large icebergs loom threateningly up into the grey skies. On the rare occasions that sunlight manages to pierce the snowclouds above, the large towers of ice sparkle brilliantly with an aurora of color. From here on out until you pass through these wintery lands, it's suggested you bundle up!

Located along the coast of Glacin Isle, Glacion Village is a small fishing town that primarily harvests the fish found deep below the ice. Though electricity is available here, most homes instead use wood fires for heat. Really, the only building that seems to use the energy is the local Pokémon Center.

The large network of ice caves rightly named Crystal Cavern stands between Glacion Village and the next town of Snowfall Valley. Carved out long ago during the last ice age of the Lanorae region, ancient preserved Pokémon can sometimes be found deep inside the ice walls. The chilly interior of the caves are hard to warm, even by the flames of fire types, so you'd better be prepared to face a hard trek.

A small yet homely town that's forever covered in a thick blanket of snow. Many that live here have learned to distract themselves from the chilly temperatures by growing to accept numerous winter traditions, such as sledding races and snowman building contests, along with rituals that originate much further back in history.

The sea drops downward at an almost horizontal incline right off the isle, leaving a long plunge for one to take if they don't realize how deep the water is. A chasm was ripped open in the sea floor long ago, creating the Abyssal Trench, which has since been a popular study for researchers world wide. Though its a fairly straightforward crossing along the surface, the real mysteries linger far beneath the waves.

A relatively small town that seems to be dedicated to dragon Pokemon, like much of the island already is. The locals here are well-versed in dragon lore, especially concerning the legendary dragons of the Lanorae region. Most are willing to open up and share their secrets, however, some of the darker legends remain hushed most of the time.

A rather rocky crag that's hard to navigate makes up the expanse of Drake Path. As the name suggests, the route is home to numerous dragon Pokemon, however, some people have been known to traverse the entire route without finding a single one to add to their teams. Cautious creatures by nature, even here the dragons keep their locations secret until they find the individual they deem worthy.

Unlike most other Lanorae cities, Drahelm City has designed a large wall that wraps around the entire town. The only entrance is by one of two gateways, one that branches off Drake Path, and the other that continues on to the next route after the city. However, there is the option of sneaking in through the underground waterways, though if you were to do that you'd better be on the lookout for guards throughout the interior of the city. After all, you haven't gained clearance now have you? The bearer of the eighth badge, Cordin, also resides here.

A rather curious location located on the outskirts of Drahelm City, Heaven's Hand is an enormous mountain that stretches high into the clouds above. Though it is not necessary for one to climb to the peak to pass, numerous mysteries surround the mountain's origin, some of which could perhaps be solved if one were to reach the peak.

The final city and resting stop before the final challenge against the most renowned trainers in the region. Kirona City plays host to numerous experienced trainers from throughout the region, some of which still anxious to tune up their teams before the trek through Darshira Tunnel, and some that will happily provide advice for those wishing to push onward. Even though the city doesn't have much as far as 'attractions' go, you may do well to hang around for a while and gather knowledge you may need for your upcoming battles.

The final challenge before you can prove yourself against the masters; Darshira Tunnel consists of an expansive maze of trials, such as waterfalls and mazes, that are meant to challenge your Pokémon as well as yourself. The Pokémon found roaming wild in these caverns are extremely strong and aggressive, attacking most they see. If you're hoping to pass through the caves unchallenged, think again.

One barely has time to heal their exhausted Pokémon and stock up on supplies before the Elite Four cry for your challenge. The battles through the Elite Four will be a harsh undertaking, as you need to battle through all four of them plus the current champion without rest in order to take your place among the ranks. Few manage to make it this far, and even fewer manage to pass the final test...

Sometimes, Pokémon get a yearning to return to the trials of the wild, no matter how much they care for their trainer. The Poképark was built as a substitute to that, so that Pokémon could quench this urge without having to be released. They can battle, explore, and do countless other things here, all for free!

Nothing wakes you up like participating in a good battle, which is what the Pokémon stadium focuses on bringing to trainers. You can either face another member here, or fight one of the many NPC trainers that can be found roaming through the stands, it's your choice. The advantage? Well, what's better than helping your Pokémon to grow and possibly gain other prizes along the way?

A large street set completely aside from Trainer Square is what makes up the marketplace. Stores of every kind can be found here, including a small building that seems to be dedicated purely to trading. Trainers can come here from all over to sell items they have gathered throughout their travels if they wish as well.
