There's a Battle Girl near the beginning of the route with a Scrafty L39 and a Mienfoo L39. Just to the north of her is a patch of grass with three "items" in it, although the two on the left areFoongus L30; the right one is a Full Heal.

Further down the road to the east lies a Cool Trainer with an Fraxure L39, a Eelektrik L39, and an Accelgor L39. The female Veteran after her has a Maractus L39, a Cryogonal L40, and aAlomomola L39.

As you reach the end of the bridge, Cheren and Bianca will come up to you and say that Drayden told them Juniper talked to you or something like that. Then Cheren will want to take you on before taking on the Pokemon League!

Boss Fight
	PKMN Trainer Cheren			$4500
		Unfezant	/	Lv. 43
		Liepard		Lv. 43
	(if you picked Snivy)
		Simisage		Lv. 43

		Simisear		Lv. 43
		Samurott		Lv. 45
	(if you picked Oshawott)
		Simipour		Lv. 43
		Serperior		Lv. 45

Immediately after defeating Cheren, he'll heal up your Pokemon, then step aside, wishing you luck. Bianca will give you a Max Revive just to be nice, then after a lot more dialogue, the two of them head off.

Victory Road is up ahead, but there's some thick grass just to your north, so you should check that out really quick.

Route 10
Thick Grass		Types	Level(s)	Rarity
	Herdier		Lv. 38 ~ 39	30%
	Vullaby	/	Lv. 39, 41	B: 30% W: 0%
	Rufflet	/	Lv. 39, 41	B: 0% W: 30%
	Bouffalant		Lv. 39 ~ 40	20%
	Amoonguss	/	Lv. 39 ~ 40	10%
	Sawk		Lv. 38, 41	B: 10% W: 0%
	Throh		Lv. 38, 41	B: 0% W: 10%

There are more "items" scattered back here, although they are actually just Amoonguss L40. The first two you encounter are Amoonguss, while the third is actually a Hyper Potion and the fourth is a Dawn Stone. There's also a Black Belt back there with a Sawk L40 on his team.

Keep going west, then south across the bridge to fight a Hiker. He uses a Gurdurr L38 and aBoldore L38. Talk to the Veteran hiding in the trees just south of him and he'll give you anotherDusk Stone. Then, head east and pick up TM05 (Roar), a move that makes you act last, but then forces the opponent Pokemon out of the battle, ending the fight if it's a wild Pokemon or switching out another Pokemon if it's a Trainer battle. Not overly useful in-game, but it has its definite strategic purposes when battling against friends or online.

Now head back east, except rather than getting distracted by the thick grass, keep going and fight a Cool Trainer with a Sawsbuck L40 and a rather huge-looking Jellicent L40. Just past her is a Veteran, who has a Beartic L39, a Seismitoad L39, and a Escavalier L40. Jump down the nearby ledge and you can pick up a Full Restore, then head through the Badge Check Gate.

Badge Check Gate

You'll proceed through the gates one badge at a time, showing the badges as proof of victory. It's pretty silly, because you obviously have them by now, but it at least adds to the authenticity and the effect of the old Red and Blue.

There are some patches of tall and thick grass on the way, and the scenery is all pretty cool. The Jet Badge room in particular is really awesome, let's just say.

Keep going til you reach the very end, which will lead you right into the entrance of Victory Road!
