Route 293: Quakesburg to Sheercliff

Quakesberg itself is a complete architectural wonder. So, of course, Route 293 is another amazing feat in itself. Expanding on the already amazing cave system, Route 293 is, also, completely underground. Dugtrio and Onix were used to cut through the path, along with help from other ground type pokemon. Before there was no way to reach Sheercliff from Quakesberg, except by air, water or to go around the mountains completely.
The world above 293 has rarely been visited by humans because of the horrendous and almost inhospitable terrain. Fighting type Pokemon visit this area to train themselves and usually find ways into the Route below. Rumors are that Growlith and Vulpix live in large packs in the terrain above and have been spotted from time to time within the caves. Members of the Sheercliff Dojo attempt to train in the terrain above with their Pokemon.
Toward the last stretch of the route, the cave goes under the rivers that run down from the mountains. Large waterfalls and underground rivers can be found here as well. Fishing pools can be rented here at a small shack for nearly nothing.
Clefairy from the cave on Route 292 have tunnels that run through the Route system but are less in numbers these years.
Pokemon on Route 293
Common: Zubat*, Diglett*, Machop, Geodude*, Onix*, Paras*
Uncommon: Makuhita, Mankey, Dunsparce, Meditite*, Tyrogue*
Rare: Clefairy, Growlith, Vulpix
Fishing: Poliwag, Magicarp, Psyduck*, Goldeen
*indicates members of its evolutionary family can be found
Items:
All Pokemon may be caught here, Vulpix is a RTF protected Pokemon, these Pokemon may be captured, but it is reminded that one will need to contact a RTF agent to register the Pokemon.
Points of Interests:
-Regigigas Shrine: During the excavation of Route 293, a shrine dedicated to Regigigas was found toward the southern end of the tunnel. Many researchers are usually found around this area trying to decode the ancient text carved into the caves. Many wonder if ancient civilizations once inhabited the cave system or if tribes from Sinnoh came this far to create the shrine. It is a protected area and tours are given daily through the shrine and elaborate temple built behind it.
-Stone Tunnel Dig: Although the Route 292 fossil dig is the most popular, the Route 293 is by far the most spectacular. For a small fee trainers may grab a pick and hard hat and explore the Stone Tunnel. While many of the Evolutionary Stone tunnels are closed for private business, a large maze of tunnels and caves are opened to trainers for a fee. Anything found in the tunnel systems can be found here, stones, fossils, items and plates. Any fossils used in the Quakesberg tournament can be found here. At the office area before the tunnel, researchers have set up a restoration machine so that diggers can restore their new found fossils on the spot! The price is a little more expensive than the 292 Fossil Dig, but it is well worth it!
