Pokémon Black and White/Route 2

Route 2

Route 2 is a short road that connects Accumula Town with Striaton City. As you walk along this Route, you will be challenged to battles by other Pokémon Trainers wanting to train their Pokémon. As soon as you get on to this Route, your Xtransceiver will start ringing. You will answer and find you mom on the other end and that she is coming to visit you. As soon as you hang up, your mom will appear behind you and tell you that while she was cleaning your room, she found your pair of Running Shoes. These are a useful piece of your trainer kit as by pressing the B Button while walking you will speed up. Now you are finally ready to brave Route 2.

First you will find a Potion in the middle of the first grass and you will also encounter the Pokémon N used during your battle with him, Purrloin. Now move a bit further on and you will be challenged by Youngster Jimmy. He is one of the three trainers on this Route who will challenge you to a battle along with Lass Mali and Youngster Roland. After your battle with Youngster Jimmy you will find a man standing by a ledge. If you talk to this man he will teach you the art of jumping over them, even if it is quite simple, you just step up to it and you will jump over it. If your Pokémon got injured in the fight with Jimmy or Mali then now is a good time to return to Accumula Town and restore your health at the Pokémon Center.

Now you can move on up through Route 2. Battle Youngster Roland and turn right. You will find a set of stairs. If you walk up your stairs you should see two Poké balls. If when you visited the musicians house you saw two Poké balls, these are the two the one you saw. One contains a Poké ball while the other contains a second Potion. Now you have everything you can get on Route 2, you can move on to Striaton City.

Be ready for a battle as just before you walk on into Striaton City, Bianca will come running up to you and challenge you to a battle.
