Walkthrough
  1. 1
    If arriving from Route 228, start in the north-west grassy field. Head south to find Ace Trainers near the route signpost. Going west leads to Route 230, and south leads to the Resort Area.
  2. 2
    If arriving from Route 230, travel east through a tree-lined path. You will emerge south of the Route 228 entrance, near the signpost. Ace Trainers are above the signpost, and the Resort Area is south.
  3. 3
    From the center of the grassy field above the Ace Trainers, head east into thick grass that slows you down. Near the bottom of this grass, find a skinny tree blocking a path. Use HM Cut to clear it and find a Reaper Cloth at the end of the path.
  4. 4
    Proceed east from the top of the thick grass. An Ace Trainer is present as the path opens up; you can avoid her by going around from the Resort Area. Further east, near the corner, find a Full Restore.
  5. 5
    Go south-west towards the space between trees, south of the Reaper Cloth path. Speak to a man in this area to receive a Nugget.
  6. 6
    Head south-east from the previous location. Between trees, find another skinny tree that can be Cut. Beyond it, find a bottle of Protein above a pond.
  7. 7
    Surf onto the pond and search the bottom-left corner for a hidden Big Mushroom.
  8. 8
    Return to the area before cutting the skinny tree near the pond. Head west and south until you find a path above and a path below. The upper path leads to a berry patch (Qualot Berry x4, Grepa Berry x4). The lower path leads to the Resort Area.
