Routes Through Pokemon - Route 12

Ruby and Shea Locke chat about their journey to Ecruteak City from Goldenrod. They discover NPC's that become trainers at night, how to move fake trees, and a national park with a bug catching contest. Finding more Apricorns they take advantage of the new circle they complete with Sudowoodo out of the way and they rock smash their way through Dark Cave. But the biggest news is when they reach the Pokemon Center in Ecruteak where they reunite with Bill! Which meant some trading with the past in a town where the past and present run together. And what happens in the basement of the Burned Tower!? Exciting stuff that ends with Morty the Ghost Gym Leader!

Then, after the episode, we take another break from our regularly scheduled tale of Violet. Instead we get to meet Professor Thistle, a man that hates Christmas and is obsessed with discovering new Pokemon. It is part 1 of our Christmas Special - A Pokemon Carol. Enjoy!
