Challenge Road in Pokémon Adventures

Pokémon Adventures

Sword & Shield arc

Challenge Road first appeared in PASS34. While searching around the Isle of Armor for the Rusted Sword and Shield, Casey detected signs of them while on Challenge Road.

In PASS35, Henry and Casey returned to Challenge Road the next day to search for the artifacts at the Tower of Darkness, but were denied entry, due to the tower only being open for those training a Kubfu. Mustard allowed Henry to battle the Master Dojo Student guarding the tower with the Kubfu he had entrusted with him, but Kubfu was quickly defeated by the guard's Impidimp.

The next night, Kubfu returned to the tower to look for the artifacts, but was easily defeated by the Urshifu guarding the tower.
