After defeating Cheren, Elesa appears, and points the two of you towards the Driftveil Drawbridge. You meet Alder, the Champion, who asks you to battle, and talks about his life. Now, Elesa will call for the bridge to be lowered, and you can follow Cheren across.

Driftveil Drawbridge
Sometimes the feathers of bird Pokemon that fly across will land on the bridge. These can be used as stat boosters or sold to Marts for 1,500. You can also occasionally encounter Ducklett in these shadows. But other than that, there isn't much on this bridge. Head west into Driftveil City!
