Again, this may be related to the fact that I chose to reveal that Flora was part of Bladestar in V8 (for some reason), but I just got to the end of the current episode, which ended rather abruptly, without going to the Judicial District or battling the 11th gym leader, and instead getting a fake gym badge. I dunno, was that some sort of punishment for making the wrong decision? I feel like I missed out on a lot of story, and I just might do things over from V8 to fix that. So, my question is, was the alternate ending a result of that one choice? Or is there some way I can unlock the Judicial

Eh, I feel stupid now. I didn't realize the colored trees had switches on them. Problem solved. And yes, where you are told to go does depend on whether or not you reveal that Flora is in Bladestar.

Just got to the part where in Grand Dream City, you have to sleep in the bed in the Penthouse until the next day. When I wake up, what's-her-name tells me to go to the Botanical Garden, so I do, and Flora tells me to remember the color of the trees. I have no idea where this information is gonna come in handy, though. I watched someone's playthrough of V9 on Youtube, and in their game, they were told to go to the Judicial District (but that didn't happen for me - I was told to go to the botanical gardens). Is this an error? What should I do now?

I just found corey's skuntank hiding out in citrine mountain, but it's ignoring me because i have the silver ring still in the items pocket (apparently it's supposed to be a key item). thanks! Game.rxdata

So I'm just about to battle Samson in the Agate Circus, but I was wondering when I would be able to get back to Reborn City because while grinding, I realized that I screwed up the EV training for my Heracross, and so now I'd like to go back to the Dept Store and get the EV-reducing berries. I'm not too worried about spoilers since I've already seen a few playthroughs on Youtube, but I'm too lazy to look for the parts where it becomes possible to visit the city again. Thanks in advance!
