From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Petalburg Woods (Japanese: トウカのもり Tōka Woods) is a forest that connects Petalburg City to Rustboro City.
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the first time the player goes through Petalburg Woods, he or she is attacked by a member of Team Aqua or Team Magma. The member intends to steal some papers from a man in the woods. The man turns to the player for help, and he or she battles the member and his Poochyena. After the member is defeated, the man will thank them by giving away a Great Ball.

Trainer Tips
TRAINER TIPS
Any POKéMON that appears even once
in a battle is awarded EXP Points.
To raise a weak POKéMON, put it at the
left of the team list.
As soon as a battle starts, switch it
out. It will earn EXP Points without
being exposed to any harm.
TRAINER TIPS
In addition to Hit Points [HP], POKéMON
have Power Points [PP] that are used to
make moves during battle.
If a POKéMON runs out of PP, it must be
taken to a POKéMON CENTER.
Trivia
- Although the Devon Representative is looking for a Shroomish, if a player has one in his/her party when they meet him, the Devon Representative will not react to it.
- The Petalburg Woods are the only forest area to have two southern/western exits.
