ON THE ROUTE
Cross Ikos Canyon
Leave Loamas west. Take the path south, then west and northwest. Cross the long canyon bridge west.
Go north, then down the western steps. At the fork choose south. At the next fork choose west. Continue through the required rival encounter.
Follow the main trail northwest into Ikos Town.
STORY CHECKPOINT
Speak to Herschel
Enter the house on the hill in the middle of town. Ask Herschel for help. After his refusal and the rival scene, leave west for Ignis Valley.
REQUIRED TO CONTINUE
Why the League route is blocked
The waterfall near the Pokémon Center needs Waterfall. Herschel gives it after the New Elders finale, so continue the story in Ignis Valley first.
