The Briefcase, HM01 and the road to Route 7
Return to the Glass Factory, finish Luciano’s errand and use Cut to reach Route 7.
Route 5 · Glass Factory · Route 6 · Route 7
Train east of Otto’s camp
Take the lower trail east of the camp. Cross the middle of the slope and follow the path around the rocks to Kindler Flint. Poliwag beat his team with Water Gun. Crackliss learned Glare at level 16. Pick up the X Defend by the boulder south of Flint, then return to Otto to rest.
X DefendReturn to the lower factory
Go north to Route 6 and enter the factory through the eastern doorway. Follow the two basement stairways from the previous chapter. In this run Boomboom learned Will-o-Wisp at level 11 on Route 6, and Poliwag fainted during a wild Scraggy encounter. Check that the rest of your party can still battle before entering the package room.
Win the lower-floor battle
Step toward the package room to challenge Boss Loudred again. On the successful attempt, Boomboom led and used X Defend. Crackliss paralyzed Loudred with Glare and weakened it with Flame Wheel. Spinarak finished the battle with Infestation and survived at 3 HP. The result can vary with your party and Loudred’s moves.
Pick up the Briefcase
Finish the scene after the battle. Walk north toward the machinery and interact with the Briefcase on the floor. Check the Key Items Pocket before leaving.
BriefcaseRetrace the two stairways
Return to the south aisle and follow the lower floor back to the arrival stair. On the first basement, step around the right side of the stair and follow the long aisle west. Retrace the upper corridors and leave through the eastern doorway onto Route 6. The recorded party escaped wild battles on the return.
Give the Briefcase to Luciano
Head south from the factory to the clearing. Approach Luciano from the north and talk to him. Continue until the handover scene is finished. The Briefcase leaves the Key Items Pocket during this conversation.
Finish the conversation for HM01
Keep talking after Luciano’s group checks the package. Luciano gives you HM01 near the end of the scene. Check the TMs & HMs Pocket for Cut.
HM01Teach Cut from the Bag
Open HM01 in the TMs & HMs Pocket and choose a compatible Pokemon. This party taught Cut to Spinarak in place of String Shot. HM01 stayed in the Bag after the lesson.
Clear the small tree beside the factory
Go north to the factory again. From the doorstep, step south and approach the small tree from the west. With the Superhot Badge already earned and Spinarak knowing Cut, pressing the interact button removed the tree. Walk east through the space it blocked.
Follow the opening into Route 7
Go east through the short grass path behind the tree. Turn north at the clearing, follow the northern edge east to the opening between the trees and walk north into Route 7.
