Route description

Route 43 has two paths to travel on it. One of these paths, while more convenient as there is no long grass on it, will cost 1000 if a trainer travels on it before vanquishing Team Rocket. The other side of the path, however, features many trainers and a lot of long grass to make it through to get to the lake.

The first of these two paths in the one on the right, which takes the player through a guardhouse. After passing through and ending up on the other side, there is a straight path north which curves slightly leftward before opening up and allowing passage straight to the Lake of Rage.

The second path, to the left, features nearly complete coverage by long grass, as well as a multitude of trainers. While on this path, trainers may use Surf to reach an upper part of the route that is not otherwise able to be reached except on a trip back from the Lake of Rage, which takes a path northward around the lake. It is on this path, on the north side of the Lake of Rage, where players can meet Wesley on Wednesdays, if, of course, they have the neccesary HM on one of their Pokémon to Cut down the small trees in the way.

Items

• Bitter Berry (across the small lake, in the Cut-accessable area)
• TM36 (Sludge Bomb) (given by the guard in the toll building after defeating Team Rocket)
