Part 17 can be found here.

Okay, so, when you're ready, head on into that cave! In here, you can capture Yamame, Kisume, Sara, and Koishi. [Thank you to Afrien the Nerd for telling me Koishi can be found here]

Start by heading up, and then up the nearby stairs to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Myouren Tea. Head back down the steps and then to the right. Head up and fight the Animal-Ears Girl with a level 47 Ran. Head up past her until you see more steps. Ignore them (there's nothing up there) and instead go left. Keep going left-up-ish until you see a Brown-Haired Fairy who will fight you with three level 44 Rumias. To the left of her is a Yin Yang Orb containing a Prismatic Candy. Now head to the right of her and down the ladder there.

Head directly down and fight the Ghost with a level 47 Youmu. Head left past him, ignoring the stairs for now, until you get to a Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 48. Head back to the Ghost and this time go down and pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing a Gold Coin. Now go up and head up those steps. Head right and cross the bridge. Fight the Girl with a white hat to your right. She uses a level  45 Benben and a level 45 Kogasa. Continue past her down the steps, then head left and down another set of steps. Continue down and fight a Ghost with a level 47 Tojiko. Head left past her and up some steps, then down some more steps to your left. Head down and you'll see some water. Head down and right from there to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing a Silver Coin. Now head up and to the left.
Fight a Purple-Haired Fairy up here with two level 44 Lunas and a level 44 Cirno. Head up past her to reach a ladder, which you should go up.

Head down and across a long bridge. Head left of the bridge and pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Sun Fruit Jam, and then head out the nearby door.

Immediately outside the entrance is a Sunflower Fairy who will heal you when you speak with her. Below her is a Purple-Haired Fairy with a level 44 Lily, level 44 Sunny, and a level 44 Star. To the left of her is a Hooded Girl with a level 45 Remilia and a level 45 Flandre. Past her is a Girl with a hat who uses a level 45 Kisume and a level 45 Nitori.
The grass here contains Orange, Elly, Kurumi, Gengetsu, and Mugetsu.

Continue forward and fight a Black-Haired Girl with a level 45 Elly and a level 45 Kurumi. Continue forward past an Animal-Ears Girl (she won't fight you) and then up into a new area.

Okay, now we're in the Garden of the Sun! I knew it was next! Anyway, head to the right first and up some steps until you get to a small grassy patch with a Yin Yang Orb containing an Oath Thread. In the grass here you can also find Wriggle, Lunasa, Merlin, Lyrica, and Yuuka. Now head back and go left. You'll see a Yin Yang Orb to your left that you need to make your way over to. When you get to a crossroads-esque thing, go left and then down. Cross the water to pick up the Yin Yang Orb, which contains Skill Card 19. Head back to the Crossroads and go up. Fight the Sunflower Fairy with a level 49 Eiki. Head right (from below her, not above) and fight the Purple-Haired Fairy with a level 49 Lily.
Head up past her and you'll see a small space between Sunflowers and the wall that you can slip into to the left. Head through there and make your way around into the grass to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Sun Fruit Jam. Head back out and go through the path that is to the right and just a bit above the Fairy.  Then head up and go up the steps. Head left, up more steps, left again, down one more set of steps and fight a Sunflower Fairy using a level 49 Komachi. Head up past her and pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 75.
Now head back to that Purple-Haired Fairy. Again, go through the path right above her and to the right. Go up, and instead of going up the steps, this time keep going right. When you get to an area with a few different turns, go down a bit and fight a Sunflower Fairy with a level 49 Medicine. Now head up and go through the grassy. Keep going up and fight another Sunflower Fairy, this one with a level 46 Yuuka, level 46 Komachi, and a level 46 Aya.

Head a little bit down and to the left. Go down and fight a Brown-Haired Fairy with a level 47 Wriggle and a level 47 Rumia. Now head up and right. You'll come to a grassy area leading up. Head up there if you like to fight a Purple-Haired Fairy with a level 47 Cirno and a level 47 Luna.

Head back down and then left. Fight the Sunflower Fairy there with a level 47 Komachi and a level 47 Aya. Go up past her and then left and then down and fight a Brown-Haired Fairy with a level 49 Shizuha. Left of her is a Yin Yang Orb containing an Oath Thread. Head up and then right. Oh, but save first.
When you get to the end, go up, and you will be stopped by Yuuka.She will fight you with a level 58 Kurumi, level 58 Elly, and a level 62 Yuuka. After defeating her, head up. To the right is Yuuka's house, but there's not anything to do there yet, so just keep going up instead.

You will get to another area. It's rather linear. Fight the Sunflower Fairy in your way who uses a level 50 Yuuka. Once you reach the river, head left to find some grass which contains Sekibanki, Seija, Yatsuhashi, Benben, and Raiko. Head right to continue on in the area. You will come to yet another grass area, this one with a Purple-Haired Fairy in it that will fight you with a level 47 Star, level 47 Luna, and a level 47 Sunny. Continue up the stairs nearby and go to the right and up the next set of stairs. Go up and head up yet another set of steps. Keep going up and to the right to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing a Silver Coin. Then head back down until you get back to the first set of steps. Now go up and continue forward. You'll have to fight a Brown-Haired Fairy with a level 48 Rika and a level 48 Orange.
Continuing forward and down a set of steps, there's some more grass to your left. In the middle is a Black-Haired Girl with a level 50 Letty. Now head down and to the left. Save and heal here, because you will have to fight Benben and Yatsuhashi up here.

First up is Benben, on the right. She uses a level 48 Yatsuhashi and a level 50 Benben. Secondly, on the left, is Yatsuhashi, who uses a level 48 Benben and a level 50 Yatsuhashi.

Continue on past them and you'll see an Old Man and a Fairy. The Old Man will fight you with a level 48 Iku and a level 48 Wakasagihime.The Fairy will not fight you. Continue forward and fight a Girl with a level 48 Ichirin and a level 48 Meiling. Past her is a Man with a level 48 Shizuha and a level 48 Minoriko. Just past him is a little spot where you can turn up into some grass. Do so and pick up the Yin Yang Orb up there that contains a Moriya Sinshu, then go back down and continue forward past the Sunflower Fairy to a Boy who will fight you with a level 48 Mystia and a level 48 Medicine.
Past him you will see a hoppable ledge. Head down there and go right to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 24. Find a way back up and then head right. You'll have to fight a Man with a level 50 Keine. Past him is a whole other area.

Continue straight until you get to the end of the river and a ledge. Go into the river and move up to a grassy area to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 53. Then head back down and hop the ledge. Go up from here and you will find yourself back at the road to the left of the Human Village. Heading directly right will bring you to the Human Village and a much-needed healing spot.

That is all for this part. I believe we are on to Myouren Temple next (for real this time!), but first I'm going to go update the Gap Map stuff.
