This is part 1 of a Walkthrough that covers the journey through the Hoenn Region in Emerald.
==Introduction==
==[[Littleroot Town]]==
After the title screen, the resident researcher of the [[Hoenn]] region, [[Professor Birch]], appears and introduces new Trainers to the Pokémon world. The professor continues, asking the player to select both a gender and a name, which can be up to seven characters long. With that done, Birch sends the player off to begin their journey!
After reading and completing the start-up screen with Professor Birch, you start in a moving truck. After exiting, you will meet with your mom who tells you to set your clock, once you've done that mini-quest, head back downstairs. The mom will be watching TV when the player goes back downstairs.


She quickly calls you to watch the T.V, saying that your dad might be on TV. However, the program ends. Your mom will continue to talk, and you learn that your father is the gym leader of the Petalburg City Gym. Your mom then suggests that you go and meet May (if you chose being a boy) or Brendon (if you chose being a girl), who lives right next door, they later become your rival. May/Brendan talks a little about what they want to do as a Trainer, and that Professor Birch is their father. They'll then leave.
==Home==
The game begins [[Inside of Truck|in the back of a moving truck]], as your family has just moved here from the far-off [[Johto]] region. Hop out of the truck to meet {{ho|Mom}} and step inside your new home. Head upstairs to check out your room and set the clock. Return to the first floor and Mom excitedly calls you over to the TV; the current program just aired a segment about the [[Petalburg Gym]], where your dad is the new [[Gym Leader]]. She then suggests visiting his friend, your new neighbor, Professor Birch. Welcome to Littleroot Town!


You then must go rescue Professor Birch on {{rt|101}}, north of [[Littleroot Town]], from a {{p|Zigzagoon}}. You will choose a Pokémon from his case to battle the Zigzagoon, either {{p|Treecko}}, a {{type2|Grass}}, {{p|Torchic}}, a {{type2|Fire}}, or {{p|Mudkip}}, a {{type2|Water}}. This Pokémon will become your Starter, so choose carefully. After the Zigzagoon is defeated, Birch invites you to his lab. He talks a little bit about the responsibility of being a Trainer, then lets you keep your Pokémon. He suggests that you go to {{rt|103}} to battle May/Brendon (and won't stop talking until you say it's a good idea).
==Littleroot Town==
[[File:Littleroot Town E.png|thumb|Littleroot Town]]


=={{rt|101}}, [[Oldale Town]], {{rt|103}}, and [[Littleroot Town]]==
{{to|Littleroot}} is a quaint little town nestled on the lush southern edge of the [[Hoenn]] mainland. There are only three buildings here; your home, [[Professor Birch]]'s home, and the professor's Pokémon Laboratory, where he conducts research on Pokémon distribution, in the south.
In order to get to Route 103, need to take Route 101 to Oldale Town. With ledges blocking the way, you must go through the [[tall grass]] to keep moving north. Pokémon can be battled, but not captured, seeing as you don't have any [[Poké Ball]]s yet. It's good for the sake up the upcoming battle that your Pokémon gains [[experience|EXP]], so it would be wise to knock them out.


Once in [[Oldale Town]], you can learn about Poké Marts from the man in an apron walking outside. After telling you about them, he gives you a [[Potion]] as a "promotional item." Apart from the Poké Mart, there's a Pokémon Center and a few people who will tell you about certain basic foundations for Trainers. There's also a man blocking {{rt|102}}. Seeing as your rival is as powerful as you are, it would be a good idea to heal your Pokémon at the Pokémon Center.

Travel northward up {{rt|103}}. There are a few Trainers and some [[tall grass]]. At the end (a dead end) is your rival. Talk to May/Brendon, and you'll battle. Your rival has one Pokémon: a Level 5 {{p|Torchic}} (if you picked {{p|Treecko}}), {{p|Mudkip}} (if you picked Torchic), or Treecko (if you picked Mudkip). After you win, (s)he'll leave, and tell you to come back to the lab. You'll have to walk back to [[Littleroot Town]], but this time you can avoid the tall grass by jumping over the ledges.


Once you get back to Prof. Birch's lab, he'll give you the Pokédex, and your rival will give you five [[Poké Ball]]s. You can then leave for [[Petalburg City]]. Before you go, your mom walks out of your house and gives you the Running Shoes. She reads the instructions (hold down "B" while you're walking) and lets you go on.
===Professor Birch's House===
Having just moved to a new town, why not meet your new neighbors? Visit the house next door to meet the professor's wife, then head upstairs to meet his child. The room is empty at first, but inspect the item on the floor and {{ga|May}}/{{ga|Brendan}} enters. Your new friend introduces herself/himself but suddenly leaves, remembering that Birch asked for help in catching a Pokémon.

==Route 101==
[[File:Hoenn Route 101 E.png|thumb|left|Route 101]]
[[File:Emerald first partners.png|thumb|240px|Choose wisely!]]


===Pokémon===
{{rt|101|Hoenn}} is a short path that connects [[Littleroot Town]] to [[Oldale Town]] in the north. The route features several patches of [[tall grass]], a favorite hiding place of wild Pokémon.


On {{rt|101}}, you can battle:
===Save the Professor!===
When you first reach the area, you find [[Professor Birch]] being chased around by a wild {{p|Zigzagoon}}! His Bag has fallen out of his reach, and he pleads with you for help. Choose one of the three Pokémon from the Poké Balls inside the professor's Bag, and use it to scare off his attacker.

{{ani|278}}{{p|Wingull}} (rare - 10%)


=={{rt|102}}, [[Petalburg City]]==
* The {{type|Grass}} {{p|Treecko}} has the most weaknesses of the trio, with five: {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type|Ice}} attacks. It and its evolutions excel in {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}}. Its Grass moves are strong against {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, though they have relatively low base powers.


When you go back to [[Oldale Town]], the man blocking {{rt|102}} will be gone, allowing you to get to Petalburg City.
* The {{type|Fire}} {{p|Torchic}} is great when battling {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon, but is vulnerable to {{t|Water}}- and {{type|Ground}} moves. It and its evolved forms focus on {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. As it grows, it gains a secondary {{type|Fighting}} type, making it better against {{t|Normal}}, Rock, and {{t|Dark}}-types.


Once in Petalburg City, you can walk into the gym and talk to your [[Norman|Dad]]. He'll tell you a little about battling [[Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leaders]], and that he won't battle you yet because you're too weak. You will be able to battle him when you have four [[badge]]s. He'll then tell you that you should head for [[Rustboro]] City to the north-west and battle the Leader there. You'll have head west (right) of Petalburg Ciy and onto {{rt|104}}.
* The {{type|Water}} {{p|Mudkip}} has an advantage when facing {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, but may struggle against {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Electric}} attacks. It and its evolutions specialize in {{stat|Attack}}. As it grows, it gains a secondary Ground type, which protects it from Electric attacks and also gives an advantage over Poison and Steel-types. Grass attacks, its one remaining weakness, is uncommon in Emerald. Mudkip is notably able to learn {{m|Surf}} when other Pokémon are still relying on much weaker attacks.


===Pokémon===
==Littleroot Town==
On {{rt|102}}, you can battle:
===Birch's Lab===
After scaring off the wild Pokémon, Birch invites you back to the Lab. As thanks for rescuing him, he happily lets you keep the young Pokémon. He then encourages you to visit May/Brendan on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for tips on how to be a Pokémon Trainer. When your Pokémon needs a rest, head back home and visit with Mom to have her restore it to full health.

Once you get out of Petalburg City, you'll come to Route 104, a small route that leads to {{rt|105}} and the Petalburg Woods. Here you will also pass by an empty house; it will become important later, but for now it's empty. Continue on to the Petalburg Woods to the north. Once you get there, aim northward and you should get out easily. There are a few Trainers to battle, and one important piece of storyline.
==Oldale Town==
[[File:Oldale Town E.png|thumb|Oldale Town]]


When almost out of the woods, you will see a man getting attacked by an [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] grunt. You will have to rescue him. The grunt only has a {{p|Poochyena}}, so unless you're Pokémon are weak from the trip through, he should be beaten easily. Once you do, he'll run away, and the man will thank you gratefully and reward you with a [[Great Ball]].
[[Oldale Town]] is the first settlement in the region to feature a [[Pokémon Center]] and a [[Poké Mart]]. Pokémon Centers are essentially hospitals where creatures can be restored to perfect health. The PC on the counter is always available for Trainers to organize their Pokémon. Poké Marts offer a wide range of items for sale, from Potions to Poké Balls. {{rt|102|Hoenn}} leads off to the west, while {{rt|103|Hoenn}} runs northward.  


The rest of the trip is simple. After you get out of the Petalburg Woods, you'll find yourself in the northern part of Route 104. There are some more Trainers, and then you can enter [[Rustboro City]].

On {{rt|104}}, you can battle:

Speak to the woman near the southeast house. She works at the local Poké Mart, and shows you the way to the shop. Once there, she gives you a free [[Potion]] as part of a promotion her shop is running.

==[[Rustboro City]]==
===Rival Battle 1===
Cross through the tall grass to meet up with {{ga|May|your}} {{ga|Brendan|rival}}, who challenges you to a friendly battle after spotting your new Pokémon. The opposing Pokémon will always have a type advantage against your own. Remember to use Potions if the battle isn't going your way!


In Rustboro City, you can battle [[Roxanne]], a {{type2|Rock}} Trainer. She will hand out the [[Badge|Stone Badge]] to Trainers who defeat her, she will also give you the TM {{m|Rock Tomb}}. Having the Stone Badge allows you to use the [[HM]] move {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Cut is not required to move on, but it helps. The HM ([[HM01]]) is given out by The Cutter, whose house is in Rustboro City.

===Birch's Lab===
After the battle, follow May/Brendan back to Professor Birch's Lab. Inside, the professor gives you a handy gadget: the Pokédex! This high-tech encyclopedia instantly records information on any Pokémon you see or catch. In addition, his child gives you five {{i|Poké Ball}}s to start you off on your journey. Now that you have received some Poké Balls, they can be purchased at all Poké Marts in the region. Buying ten Poké Balls at once, at any location, also earns you a bonus [[Premier Ball]].
 
===Meet up with Mom===
As you go to leave Littleroot, you see Mom standing outside. She is proud that you have your own Pokémon. In preparation for your adventure, she gives you a pair of [[Running Shoes]]. By holding down the B Button, these shoes allow you to run twice as fast as the normal walking speed.
 
==Route 102==
[[File:Hoenn Route 102 E.png|thumb|300px|Route 102]]
 
{{rt|102|Hoenn}} connects [[Oldale Town]] and [[Petalburg City]]. The patches of tall grass are home to several new wild Pokémon species.

===Soft Soil===
There is a patch of [[soft soil]] on the route's north side. On your first visit, two {{DL|Berry|Generation III|Berry}} trees can be found growing here. Collect the fruit and the trees disappear, allowing you to plant another Berry to continue the cycle. The amount of time needed for the new tree to fully mature and produce fruit varies based on the kind of Berry. After obtaining a [[watering can]], you may water the young plants at certain times to increase the Berry yield. Berries can have several useful effects, from curing status conditions to restoring health. They can even be turned into [[Pokéblock|candy]]!

He is surprised that you've made it this far from home but is excited that you are becoming a Pokémon Trainer like him.

Wally leads you back to {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, where he successfully catches a {{p|Ralts}}.
 
Back at the Gym, Wally can't thank you enough for helping him catch his very own Pokémon.

As you reach the city's western limit, you are stopped by a man in sunglasses. Judging by the way you are dressed, he assumes that you're a Pokémon Trainer. However, he reconsiders after seeing your not-so-dirty clothes, determining you to be either a rookie Trainer or just an ordinary kid. He informs you that he is roaming the land in search of powerful Trainers, and apologizes for taking your time before leaving for {{rt|104|Hoenn}}.

Introduction

After the title screen, the resident researcher of the Hoenn region, Professor Birch, appears and introduces new Trainers to the Pokémon world. The professor continues, asking the player to select both a gender and a name, which can be up to seven characters long. With that done, Birch sends the player off to begin their journey!

Home

The game begins in the back of a moving truck, as your family has just moved here from the far-off Johto region. Hop out of the truck to meet Mom and step inside your new home. Head upstairs to check out your room and set the clock. Return to the first floor and Mom excitedly calls you over to the TV; the current program just aired a segment about the Petalburg Gym, where your dad is the new Gym Leader. She then suggests visiting his friend, your new neighbor, Professor Birch. Welcome to Littleroot Town!

Littleroot Town

Littleroot Town

Littleroot is a quaint little town nestled on the lush southern edge of the Hoenn mainland. There are only three buildings here; your home, Professor Birch's home, and the professor's Pokémon Laboratory, where he conducts research on Pokémon distribution, in the south.


Professor Birch's House

Having just moved to a new town, why not meet your new neighbors? Visit the house next door to meet the professor's wife, then head upstairs to meet his child. The room is empty at first, but inspect the item on the floor and May/Brendan enters. Your new friend introduces herself/himself but suddenly leaves, remembering that Birch asked for help in catching a Pokémon.

Route 101

Route 101
Choose wisely!

Route 101 is a short path that connects Littleroot Town to Oldale Town in the north. The route features several patches of tall grass, a favorite hiding place of wild Pokémon.

Save the Professor!

When you first reach the area, you find Professor Birch being chased around by a wild Zigzagoon! His Bag has fallen out of his reach, and he pleads with you for help. Choose one of the three Pokémon from the Poké Balls inside the professor's Bag, and use it to scare off his attacker.

  • The Water-type Mudkip has an advantage when facing Fire-, Rock-, and Ground-type Pokémon, but may struggle against Grass and Electric attacks. It and its evolutions specialize in Attack. As it grows, it gains a secondary Ground type, which protects it from Electric attacks and also gives an advantage over Poison and Steel-types. Grass attacks, its one remaining weakness, is uncommon in Emerald. Mudkip is notably able to learn Surf when other Pokémon are still relying on much weaker attacks.

Littleroot Town

Birch's Lab

After scaring off the wild Pokémon, Birch invites you back to the Lab. As thanks for rescuing him, he happily lets you keep the young Pokémon. He then encourages you to visit May/Brendan on Route 103 for tips on how to be a Pokémon Trainer. When your Pokémon needs a rest, head back home and visit with Mom to have her restore it to full health.

Route 101

Route 103, need to take Route 101 to Oldale Town. With ledges blocking the way, you must go through the tall grass to keep moving north. Pokémon can be battled, but not captured, seeing as you don't have any Poké Balls yet.

Oldale Town

Oldale Town

Oldale Town is the first settlement in the region to feature a Pokémon Center and a Poké Mart. Pokémon Centers are essentially hospitals where creatures can be restored to perfect health. The PC on the counter is always available for Trainers to organize their Pokémon. Poké Marts offer a wide range of items for sale, from Potions to Poké Balls. Route 102 leads off to the west, while Route 103 runs northward.


Free Potions!

Speak to the woman near the southeast house. She works at the local Poké Mart, and shows you the way to the shop. Once there, she gives you a free Potion as part of a promotion her shop is running.

The Sketch Artist

The western exit is currently blocked off by a man who believes that he may have found some extremely rare Pokémon tracks. No one is allowed past until he has made a sketch of his discovery.

Route 103

Route 103

Route 103 serves as a shortcut between Oldale Town and Route 110. Seawater divides the route, restricting travel to the western side for now.


Rival Battle 1

Cross through the tall grass to meet up with your rival, who challenges you to a friendly battle after spotting your new Pokémon. The opposing Pokémon will always have a type advantage against your own. Remember to use Potions if the battle isn't going your way!

Treecko Player chose Treecko




Torchic Player chose Torchic




Mudkip Player chose Mudkip




After the battle, May/Brendan heads back south to Birch's Lab.

Littleroot Town


Birch's Lab

After the battle, follow May/Brendan back to Professor Birch's Lab. Inside, the professor gives you a handy gadget: the Pokédex! This high-tech encyclopedia instantly records information on any Pokémon you see or catch. In addition, his child gives you five Poké Balls to start you off on your journey. Now that you have received some Poké Balls, they can be purchased at all Poké Marts in the region. Buying ten Poké Balls at once, at any location, also earns you a bonus Premier Ball.

Meet up with Mom

As you go to leave Littleroot, you see Mom standing outside. She is proud that you have your own Pokémon. In preparation for your adventure, she gives you a pair of Running Shoes. By holding down the B Button, these shoes allow you to run twice as fast as the normal walking speed.

Route 102

Route 102

Route 102 connects Oldale Town and Petalburg City. The patches of tall grass are home to several new wild Pokémon species.


Soft Soil

There is a patch of soft soil on the route's north side. On your first visit, two Berry trees can be found growing here. Collect the fruit and the trees disappear, allowing you to plant another Berry to continue the cycle. The amount of time needed for the new tree to fully mature and produce fruit varies based on the kind of Berry. After obtaining a watering can, you may water the young plants at certain times to increase the Berry yield. Berries can have several useful effects, from curing status conditions to restoring health. They can even be turned into candy!

Petalburg City (first visit)

Petalburg City

Situated between Route 102 to the east and Route 104 to the west, Petalburg City is the first location you reach to feature a Pokémon Gym.

Meet up with Dad

When you visit the Petalburg Gym, you find your father, Norman, standing in the lobby. He is surprised that you've made it this far from home but is excited that you are becoming a Pokémon Trainer like him. A sickly boy named Wally soon enters, and explains that he will be staying with relatives in nearby Verdanturf Town in the hopes that the clean air will do him good. He is afraid of becoming lonely there and asks for help in catching a Pokémon to take along. Norman asks that you go with him and loans him his Zigzagoon and a Poké Ball. Wally leads you back to Route 102, where he successfully catches a Ralts.

Back at the Gym, Wally can't thank you enough for helping him catch his very own Pokémon. Your father then gives you some advice: to become a strong Trainer, challenge Gym Leader Roxanne in Rustboro City before moving on to the other Gym Leaders. Though Norman is also a Gym Leader, he will not accept your challenge until you have earned four Badges.

The Man in Sunglasses

As you reach the city's western limit, you are stopped by a man in sunglasses. Judging by the way you are dressed, he assumes that you're a Pokémon Trainer. However, he reconsiders after seeing your not-so-dirty clothes, determining you to be either a rookie Trainer or just an ordinary kid. He informs you that he is roaming the land in search of powerful Trainers, and apologizes for taking your time before leaving for Route 104.
