I'm stuck, I need the boat pass, and apricorns for the upgraded water bike (and potion and ball upgrades, those apricorns are hard to find) to progress, but I can't find them.
No idea how to open the Ruins of Alph either.
"Bright cheeks, big ears, surfing waves without fears." I thought it referred to the surfing Pikachu, so I brought a Pikachu to that place but nothing worked, it looks like something can open there though.
Can I get the item to cut down bushes already, or is that given later?
No idea what to do with the tree in Ilex Forest either, it has to be something special.
For the record, I'm only missing Cianwood and Blackthorn badges in Johto.
