You begin on a bridge-like pathway. Head east. You will have a rematch with Hop at the end of the bridge, just before the number 7 signpost.

Pokémon Trainer Hop's Team:

  • Trevenant (Level 34, Grass/Ghost) - Weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, Ghost, Dark.
  • Heatmor (Level 34, Fire) - Weak to Water, Rock, Ground.
  • Snorlax (Level 35, Normal) - Can use Stockpile.
  • Boltund (Level 35, Electric) - Can use Nuzzle (paralysis). Weak to Ground.
  • Starter (Level 37) - Inteleon (if you picked Grookey), Rillaboom (if you picked Scorbunny), or Cinderace (if you picked Sobble).

After the battle, Hop will heal your party. Continue east past the number 7 signpost. On the right, a female trainer walks diagonally. Go below her and search the rocks for a hidden Ether.

Model Mila's Team:

  • Ribombee (Level 35, Bug/Fairy) - Weak to Fire, Flying, Rock, Steel.
  • Vespiquen (Level 36, Bug/Flying) - Weak to Rock (4x), Fire, Electric, Flying, Ice (2x).

Follow the path north between tall grass patches towards the tunnel. There is a path on the right blocked by Team Yell. About halfway up this path, a male trainer is on the left looking east to south. You can skip him by dashing north while he is looking south.

Cabbie Bruce's Team:

  • Corvisquire (Level 35, Flying) - Weak to Electric, Rock, Ice.
  • Rufflet (Level 36, Normal/Flying) - Weak to Electric, Rock, Ice.

Past Bruce, there is a berry tree on the left. Head right and grab the 3 Quick Balls in the gap in the tall grass. Exit this route via the tunnel to the north.

Items Found:

  • Ether (restores 10 PP for one move)
  • 3 Quick Balls
