Route 9 opens up to be a fairly complex area, but first, you simply need to head south over the bridge in the south-east corner of Circhester. As soon as you cross the bridge, you'll find a trainer on the left looking for a battle.
Fisher Harriet
| Pokemon | Level | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Barraskewda | 39 | Water |
| Lanturn | 39 | Water/Electric |
After beating her, head down the path and in the tall patch of grass on your left you can grab a Max Potion. Keep going south and you'll run into another trainer.
Dancer Zoe
| Pokemon | Level | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Darumaka | 39 | Ice |
| Bellossom | 39 | Grass |
A few steps further south and you'll spot a familiar face. Remember the friendly chap who gave you a Rotom Bike after you saved him from Team Yell? He's in trouble with the wrong crowd once again, and you need to defeat the Grunt giving him grief.
Team Yell Grunt
| Pokemon | Level | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Linoone | 39 | Dark/Normal |
| Pangoro | 40 | Fighting/Dark |
Despite there being two of them, you only need to win one battle to make them flee with their Drednaw. As thanks, the fellow will reward you with an amphibious attachment for your bike so you can ride it on water. Now the world truly is your oyster, and there's so many more Pokemon you can try to catch in this Circhester Bay area.

After defeating him, cycle off to the left and stick to the bottom of the wall. You'll stumble upon two people stood by an umbrella, but they don't want to battle. Speak to the girl and she'll give you TM45 Dive, then you can grab the three Dive Balls behind the sun loungers. Cycle north to the smaller beach and take on Black Belt Carter.
Black Belt Carter
| Pokemon | Level | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Grapploct | 41 | Fighting |
After taking him down, cycle east and you'll find a Max Revive at the end of a short path. Keep going across the top to the east and you'll arrive back at the start. You've covered most of the first section now, so to reach the next part, head back down to between where you fought Black Belt Reece and the girl you got the Dive TM from.
Cycle between the two rocks at the bottom, then go left at the first opportunity and pick up TM22 Rock Slide from the small beach. Turn around and go east to challenge another trainer on the beach at the top.
