Ecruteak City.
Goldenrod City was not far from this ancient city. The last trip had taken so long only because the mountain roads were winding and rugged.
It was still daylight. If he moved quickly, reaching Ecruteak City before nightfall would not be a problem.
And judging by Yunsheng's tone, the Ecruteak City collapse had clearly not happened yet. He could still make it in time.

The horrifying sight was practically the end of the world!
Fortunately, the affected area was not particularly large in the strict sense. It only encompassed the buildings around the Bell Tower, taking up a quarter of Ecruteak City. The entire city had not been destroyed and sunk by the earthquake like in the manga, which could be considered fortunate.
