Routes Through Pokemon - Route 21

While in Johto, Ruby and Shea decided to wrap up the Ruins of Alph and explore the rest of Slowpoke Well. Then they head back to Pewter City and work their way south through sparse Viridian Forest, Viridian City (Fight Club), and to Pallet Town. There we visit Red's mom, Blue's sister, and talk with Professor Oak who promises us something if we get all 8 of the Kanto Badges. Surfing south we find the the ruins of Cinnibar Island and are led to find a small cave on Seafoam Islands where we can battle Blaine for our 15th badge. We also use the Elite Four for some levelling and have an unexpected reunion.

Stay tuned after the episode to see what happens to Murasaki next in his forced climb up the Pokemon Tower and the mysterious ghost that is causing it.
