The Galactic Grunts blocking you from going to Route 205 are now gone with Commander Mars.
You can go down the small bridge and then continue heading north until you get to Eterna Forest. There are many trainers, items, and wild Pokémon on this route.

Eterna Forest has a reputation for being a mysterious place, from the abandoned Old Chateau to the strange Moss Rock. Eterna Forest is a long and complex structure of trees that make it a natural maze, of where a lot of people get lost. Eterna Forest is home to many Bug- and Grass-type Pokémon, and is currently the only known place in the Pokémon world to find and catch Buneary.
There are several paths that can be taken to get to each entrance, however the most direct route from southern part of forest to the northern part of the forest can be taken by traveling east from the entry, through the tall grass, directly north to a small gap in the tree that travels east to the south eastern segment. If, however, the western road is taken, the route would lead to an Antidote, and the Moss Rock further north.
The next section of the forest is large than the first, as by traveling south, through the large patch of tall grass, the road lead to four sections of trees that are placed in a two by two pattern that allows the path to travel through the tree, in a similar "+" shape. There are several items scattered around the area, as well a few Trainers that are eager for a battle. By traveling north east, the road will soon lead to a large gap, where the road travels north to the north eastern segment.
The third segment turns east where a large square with a dense layer of trees hang in the middle. Simply traveling north through another patch of tall grass will clear the section. To the north is Old Chateau where Cut is need to clear the trees, and to the east is the eastern entry to the forest which has access to eastern Route 205, and Eterna City after that.
When the player first enters the forest, Cheryl will be waiting, and ask the player if he or she will accompany her through the forest, fearing Team Galactic's possible interference. After this, all battles in Eterna Forest will be double battles, including encounters with wild Pokémon. Her company is very useful - after every battle, Cheryl will completely heal the player's party. However, during battles with wild Pokémon a little problem appears: the player can throw a Poké Ball only when there is one Pokémon left, and thus Chansey's Egg Bomb may accidentally knock out the Pokémon the player wants to catch. She gives the player a Soothe Bell as a parting gift.

When you come out of Eterna Forest, all you need to do is walk across the bridge. The trainers won't battle you unless you talk to them, so just go staight ahead to Eterna City.

Once in Eterna City, you will see that Team Galactic has set up another Headquarters. As usual, you must stop them from their evil work. As you can see, the headquarters is blocked by some small trees, so you cannot access it yet. You must first go to the Gym, and battle the Gym Leader, Gardenia...
First she will send out her Turtwig, which will use moves like Sunny Day and Reflect to help set up the rest of her Pokémon, but Sunny Day also powers up fire type moves, which you can use to your advantage. She will then send out her Cherrim. If Turtwig had a Chance to set up Sunny Day, it will be twice as powerful because of it's Flower Gift ability. It will also be in it's Sunshine Form. After that she will send out her highest levelled Pokémon, Roserade. Roserade has a lot of powerful moves, and it also has Stun Spore, a move that can Paralyse you, cutting down your speed by a quarter, and you will be unable to attack 25% of the time.
Once you beat her you will get the Forest Badge, TM86 (Grass Knot), and the ability to use Cut outside of battle. Now, you may enter the Galactic Headquarters.
Eterna Galactic Headquarters
Once inside you will meet with Looker. Talk to him then go up the sets of stairs. First, go up the left staircase. Once you are upstairs, you will go to set of stairs to the left of the staircase you just walked up. Once upstairs again, you will use the staircase just to the right of where you entered. If you go up the wrong, staircases, you will have to battle some trainers. The trainers are as follows:
Once she is defeated, you will rescue the owner of Rad Rickshaw's Bike Shop. He will tell you to meet him at his shop, then will walk away. When you meet him at his shop, he will give you a bicycle. Now, you may go on to Route 206, which is the bike path. To access this route, go to the bottom end of Eterna city, and go through the entrance.
In this building, Sinnoh's Name Rater can be found, as well as a person named Norton who will trade a Chatot for a Buizel, and yet another who will give away TM67 (Recycle).

This Bicycle Shop is a store where Bicycles are sold. However, you can not purchase a bike from the store. Once you rescue the owner of the store from the Galactic Eterna Building, he will give you one as a gift for rescuing him. You can talk to him for him to read the manual for the bike to you.
Oak's House
After you completed the Sinnoh Dex and get the National Pokédex, you can go to Oak's house, or the house where he is staying for a while. When you talk to him, he will tell you that Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are roaming Sinnoh. After that, the trio will appear around Sinnoh, but rarely.
