Points of Interest:
- In the Season Research Lab, there's a scientist who's really keen on seeing all four forms of Deerling. It'll take about three months of real-time to see them all naturally, but if you're clever, you might speed things up. He'll give you a Leaf Stone for your trouble.
Walkthrough:
Just follow the path; it's a pretty simple route, mostly one-way. You'll run into a couple of trainers, but you can actually avoid most of them if you're careful. Once you pass the hiker on the bridge, there's a house nearby that doubles as a Pokémon Center. That's super handy, especially with what's coming up!
You can snag two Leaf Stones here: one from the Scientist and another just lying on the ground.
