New Bark Town

Elm's Lab

Professor Elm thanks you for helping with his research. As a token of his appreciation, he rewards you with a Master Ball! He claims that it is only given to recognized Pokémon researchers, but he thinks that you could make a better use of it than he can. This ultimate Poké Ball catches any Pokémon without fail, regardless of the target. It is usually best to save it for Ho-Oh, Lugia, or the legendary beasts.

With that done, surf east across the lake to reach Route 27.

Route 27 (west)

Route 27

Route 27 connects New Bark Town and Route 26. In addition, it is the first accessible part of the neighboring Kanto region, and a man on the east side of the lake is quick to remind you of this. A ledge in the route's center hinders eastbound travel, forcing Trainers to detour through Tohjo Falls.

Tohjo Falls

As Waterfall cannot be used in the field without the Rising Badge, Tohjo Falls acts not only as a link between the two regions, but also as a barrier to prevent all but the strongest Trainers from reaching Indigo Plateau.

Pokémon League Reception Gate

Inside the Reception Gate, the first guard checks all passing Trainers for the eight Badges of Johto. Beyond that, two other guards block the exits to Mt. Silver and Route 22. Head through the north doors to enter Victory Road.

Victory Road

Victory Road, 1F

Victory Road, a difficult tunnel separating the Reception Gate and Indigo Plateau, earned its name because all Trainers passing through are aiming for victory at the Pokémon League. The cave was once a grueling ordeal, but recent cave-ins have left the area diminished and devoid of any Trainers.
