Pokémon X and Y/Route 22

'''Route 22, also known as Détourner Way, is the western route to Victory Road. Currently you are far from qualified to take on the Victory Road, so this route is a dead end. There are a few trainers looking for battles here, as well as some new Pokémon that you can catch. Once you return here after getting all 8 badges, you can also access the southern section of Route 22, the entrance to the mysterious Chamber of Emptiness.'''

North Détourner Way
There isn't any particularly interesting along this route, but there are some items you can get. If you use Cut on the prickly bush at the top-left corner of the first grass patch, you can get an Elixir, an item not found in Poké Marts that restore 10 PP to every move of an individual Pokémon. After you make it past Lass Elsa, you can take a one-way shortcut back to Santalune City by jumping down the ledges to the west. After one of the ledges is a Super Potion, just waiting for you to pick up.

Down the waterfall
Once you have obtained both Surf and Waterfall, you can go to a previously inaccessible portion of the route. Go to the southeast corner of Route 22 and you can find a river. Surf on the river then use Waterfall to reach the lower level of the route. There is a different selection of Pokémon here, although by this time your Pokémon will have no trouble defeating them in one hit. There are also two trainers here, but once again, your Pokémon should be at a much higher level than theirs.

There are some more items that can be found around here. If you surf down the river, then turn right and surf up the waterfall, then continue along the river to reach a small area with a Draco Plate. Other then that, the southernmost portion of the route is a slightly complicated Strength puzzle. Solve the entire puzzle to reach TM26 Earthquake, a strong Ground-type move. There is also a berry tree that drops Tanga Berries here. Additionally, you can use the Itemfinder to find two hidden items: a Full Restore and a Max Elixir.

Chamber of Emptiness
The Chamber of Emptiness is...well empty. The only thing inside is a Spooky Plate, as well as a Banettite in the post-game. There are absolutely no wild Pokémon, no trainers and as of now no special event that happens inside.
