After capturing the Ekans, continue up where you will find a Grunt wondering how he will cross the river to get towards Politoed. Next to him is a Dead Tree ; using Tackle on the tree should knock it down to make a bridge. Head towards the vines nearby and climb them to find a Heracross that has the Field Move you need.

Before moving over the bridge; catch a Water type Pokémon such as Lotad with the Soak Field Move. Cross the bridge and head up to find a Vine . Use Soak on it to watch it grow. You are now able to use it to climb up to the ledge above where Grovyle is waiting to be captured.

After capturing Grovyle, climb back down and head east to find the Grunt that stole Politoed. He has angered the Mankey and Primeape that live here. Capture them to calm them down.

Busy with the wild Pokémon, the Grunt gets past you back the way you came. Follow him west, over the tree bridge and up the vines to discover that he has but up a Metal Fence to stop you. This obstacle requires Cut to remove. Luckily, the Grovyle you caught earlier can help you here. As you continue north through the jungle another Grunt waits for you.
