Follow our guide to navigate back to Route 3 in Pokémon Black and White. Battle trainers, find items, and learn strategies to progress through the Unova region.
Alright, let's head back towards Route 3! After your encounter with Cheren, you'll want to backtrack a bit. You'll find Bianca waiting for you right where you battled Cheren. Chat with her, and she'll give you a Heal Ball as a reward for your efforts. Pretty nice of her!
Once you're ready to move on, take the path heading south from the T-junction. Keep following the road, and it won't be long before you run into your first opponent on the way back.

- Be mindful of the wild Pokémon encounters in the thick grass; you might face two at once!
- If you're using Oshawott, be extra careful against the electric-type Blitzle. A Grass-type Pokémon would be ideal here.
- Remember that some of these trainer battles can be avoided if you're in a hurry or low on health, but battling them gives you experience and potential item rewards.
