Once you get out of Petalburg City, you'll come to Route 104 which is a route divided into two halves, with the Petalburg Woods as a divider. First, you should go to the beach and fight all of the Trainers, to gain some valuable Experience Points. Once you've beaten them all, pick the Pecha and Oran Berries from the Berry trees you see. Then, you may choose to capture a Marill if you started with Torchic for the Gym ahead.

Petalburg Woods isn't hard to navigate through, compared to other forests in the Pokémon games. Go eastward (there is a Potion hidden in the tall grass) and get out through the second exit. Pick up the Poké Ball and come back to the forest. Now head westward and take the Parlyz Heal.

Eventually, you will see a man getting attacked by someone who is up to no good. You will have to rescue the man by defeating the guy attacking him. Once defeated, the Team Aqua grunt will run away, and the man will thank you gratefully and reward you with a Great Ball. Afterwards, you can use the north exit to reach the north section of Route 104. You might want to catch a Shroomish here, especially if your starter was Torchic. The first Gym Leader you will face is a Rock-type specialist. Shroomish evolves into the powerful Grass/Fighting-type Pokémon Breloom at Level 23, so you really should consider it for your team.

• Note: Available Pokémon are the same than South section.

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. All it will take is a short walk to reach Rustboro City. The north end of Route 104 is similar to the southern end, except with more Trainers and items found here. You will also participate in your first double battle. Near the entrance is a Flower Shop. Talk to the girl in the back to receive the Wailmer Pail, which is a key item that allows you to water Berries in order to grow more than usual from their plants. The girl to the left will give you one random Berry each day.

Items

Item Location Games X Defense Behind the gate in the lower-right corner, accessed from Route 104  E  Premier Ball Gift from a boy in the southwestern-most building, 2F  E  HM01 (Cut) Gift from the Cutter in the Cutter's House  E  Quick Claw Gift from the teacher at the Pokémon Trainer's School  E  Great Ball Gift from the Devon Employee after retrieving the Devon Goods  E  Letter Received from Mr. Stone after retrieving the Devon Goods  E  PokéNav Gift from Mr. Stone after receiving the Letter  E  Exp. Share Reward from Mr. Stone after delivering the Letter to Steven  E  Chesto Berry Held by Dots, a Seedot the player receives in a trade  E

Now that you are in Rustboro City, you can challenge the first Gym in this region. But first, there's a lot of exploring to do here. In the far southwest building, a boy upstairs gives you a Premier Ball. The largest building, headquarters of the Devon Corporation, is mostly inaccessible right now. Later, scientists here can revive Root Fossils into Lileep and Claw Fossils into Anorith. In the house next to the Gym, a man will trade you his Seedot (nicknamed Dots) for a Ralts. It's useful if you want to complete your Pokédex, less useful until you get to the Move Relearner, and excellent when it evolves into a Shiftry. The building that is located slightly west of the Pokémon Center belongs to the Cutter, who will give you HM01 (Cut) when you talk to him. It's important that you get the HM in order to continue with your adventure. However, you can't use it outside of battle until you get the Stone Badge from the Gym. Slightly northeast of the Pokémon Center is the Trainers' School, where you can read about Status conditions on the blackboard. If you talk to the teacher, you will receive the Quick Claw which occasionally allows a Pokémon to attack first during a turn in battle. Finally, you can find Scott inside the building around the lower-left corner, who tells you that he is searching for talented Trainers.

Walda's house

A sad young girl named Walda lives between the Pokémon Center and the Devon Corporation building. If the proper 'funny' word is given to her caretaker, she will reward the player with a new wallpaper for the Pokémon Storage System.

Item Location Games Super Potion The top corner of the beach near Rustboro City  E

If you go north of the Rustboro City, you quickly stopping off on Route 115. Follow the path around the beach to get the Super Potion. As you can't buy these yet, this one will come in handy.

When you're ready, head to the Gym in the northeast part of town.

Rustboro Gym

You are now free to take your first and easiest Gym challenge! If you have Treecko or Mudkip it should be a breeze to defeat the Rock-type Pokémon here, and Marill, Lotad/Lombre, and Shroomish can help you if you chose Torchic. If you wish, you can evolve your Torchic at Level 16 and utilize Combusken's super-effective Fighting-type moves (such as Double Kick, which it learns as soon as it evolves). Be aware that the highest-leveled Pokémon here is Level 15 and can be dangerous. You will want plenty of Potions, and having your team trained to Level 15 or higher is highly recommended. If you're in need of extra training, you can optionally head east to Route 116 and battle a few trainers and wild pokémon there (see below Route 116's section). When you're ready, enter the Gym.

You can avoid the Trainers if you wish, but they're easy to defeat if you trained enough, and a few extra Exp. Points never hurt anyone. Be warned— from here on out, there will be an actual puzzle in every Gym, and more Trainers.

Leader Roxanne Rustboro Gym Emerald Reward: $1500 Types: Rock Ground Ability: Rock Head Held item: None Geodude♀ Lv.12 Tackle Normal   --       Defense Curl Normal   --       Rock Throw Rock   --       Rock Tomb Rock   --       Types: Rock Ground Ability: Rock Head Held item: None Geodude♀ Lv.12 Tackle Normal   --       Defense Curl Normal   --       Rock Throw Rock   --       Rock Tomb Rock   --       Type: Rock Unknown Ability: Sturdy Held item: Oran Berry Nosepass♀ Lv.15 Block Normal   --       Harden Normal   --       Tackle Normal   --       Rock Tomb Rock   --

Roxanne's two identical Geodude shouldn't give you a problem, although they can annoy you by boosting their already high Defense with Defense Curl. Rock Throw and Rock Tomb can hit Treecko hard, due to its weak Defense. One hit with the move Absorb or Water Gun will take Geodude out. Nosepass will be a threat— it knows Block to prevent you from switching out your Pokémon, Tackle and Rock Tomb to attack, and Harden to raise its incredibly high Defense. It is also holding an Oran Berry, so it can heal itself. Once you defeat Roxanne, you will receive the Stone Badge which will help promote growth in the Attack stat of your Pokémon and also allow you to use the HM01 (Cut) outside of battle. She will also give you TM39 (Rock Tomb).

After receiving your Stone Badge and walking out of the Gym, you will see another Aqua Grunt, this time coming out of the Devon Corporation building. He will run off to Route 116, so use the nearby east exit to follow him.

Now that you have Cut, if you want extra items, head back down to the northern part of Route 104 past the twins you battled earlier and use Cut on the bush by the bridge to obtain a X Accuracy. Continue south into Petalburg Forest where you will find two bushes to Cut to the right of the northern entrance. The girl standing there will give you a Miracle Seed, a held item that increases the power of Grass-type moves. By a ledge to the north is a Great Ball, and if you jump off the ledge to the south, you'll find a X Attack. You'll have to loop around the forest again, but it was worth it, right? Now make your way back to Route 116.
