This is part of a Walkthrough that covers the journey through the Hoenn Region in Emerald.

Rustboro City

Rustboro City

The man you saved earlier in the Petalburg Woods will award you with a Great Ball and bring you to Devon Corporation's president, where he will ask two favors of you— He will ask you to bring a Letter to Steven in Dewford Town and the Devon Goods to Captain Stern in Slateport City. You will also receive your PokéNav, an electronic device that has a map function, a way to check the Condition of your Pokémon for Contests, and a listing of the Ribbons your Pokémon have. Also, you can register your PokéNav with certain Trainers for a rematch with them. You can even rematch Gym Leaders this way!

When you go back outside, your rival is waiting for you, wanting a second battle. This time, (s)he will also have a new Pokemon (either Lotad, Torkoal, or Wingull), and his/her starter will be more powerful. When you win, (s)he will tell you that Mr. Briney is a sailor.

Mr. Briney's House, Dewford Town

Dewford Town

Go back to the empty house on the southern part of Route 104, and you will see that it's not empty— Mr. Briney will be there. Talk to him, and he'll offer to take you to Dewford to deliver your letter. It takes about twenty seconds to get there. When you do, you will find several things. First, a boy outside of a small house will let you set the current "Trendy Phrase," which affects the location of Feebas on Route 120 (You can't get there until later). There will also be a Pokémon Center, a few more houses, and a Gym. If you walk to the west, you can see a Fisherman. He will give you the Old Rod. If you use it to fish, you can find Magikarp and Tentacool in pretty much any body of water. Magikarp has terrible stats, and is therefore a pain to train, but once it reaches Level 20 it evolves into Gyarados, a powerful Water/Flying-type. Further west is Granite Cave. A hiker there will give you HM05, Flash. This HM makes it much easier to navigate the lower levels of Granite Cave, and other caves in this region are easier to get through when you have Flash as well. However, you can't use it until you've defeated Brawly, the Gym Leader!

The Gym Leader's highest-leveled Pokémon is Level 19. Training your team to Level 20 before continuing is highly recommended. Brawly uses Fighting-types, so Flying- and Psychic-type moves will work well against his Pokémon. Don't use Rock-, Normal-, Dark- Steel-, or Ice-types, as they will be easily defeated. (The last three types are unlikely to have been obtained by you at this point.) If you're ready, enter the Gym.

Dewford Gym

Map of the Dewford Gym's interior

The Dewford Gym has some Trainers that you will need to battle, and a big obstacle: the room is dark. However, the more Trainers you defeat, the lighter the room gets, making it easier to find Brawly.


Dewford Gym
The Knuckle Badge




When you challenge Brawly, you'll discover in battle that he has a Machop, a Meditite and a Makuhita. All three are weak to Flying-type attacks, and they all know Bulk Up to simultaneously boost their Attack and Defense. Brawly sends out Machop first. A good supereffective attack will take it out in one hit. Meditite knows a very powerful move— Focus Punch, which has 150 base power! However, you don't need to worry about getting hit by this move if you don't use Status-altering moves. Stick with attacking, and Focus Punch will be unable to hit. You should be able to take out Meditite reasonably quickly— don't let Light Screen and Reflect worry you. Makuhita is Brawly's best Pokémon. Its Attack stat gives a lot of power to its moves, which are Arm Thrust, Vital Throw, Reversal, and the aforementioned Bulk Up. Arm thrust strikes multiple times in the same turn, and hits two to five times. Vital Throw is an attack that cannot miss. Reversal gets more powerful the less HP Makuhita has, so watch out! The best strategy in this Gym is to just keep attacking. Something you should know is that Makuhita's Speed isn't good at all.

Once you defeat Brawly, he will award you with the Knuckle Badge. He will also give you TM08, which contains Bulk Up. You now have the ability to use Flash, so your next destination is Granite Cave!

Granite Cave

The first floor of Granite Cave

If you haven't already been to Granite Cave, a hiker hands out HM05, which contains Flash. Teach it to one of your Pokémon. You can now head down into the darkness by going down the first ladder. When you are there, use Flash and the cave will light up. At the stairs, move up, continue west and walk south to the ladder. Then, head all the way west to the place where you saw three boulders. From there, go north and then east. At the slightly bright stone, press A and you will receive an Everstone, and item taht, when held, prevents Pokémon from evolving. The item can be more useful than it seems at first glance. Now, walk to the ladder. Then, go west to another ladder. You will arrive at the cave where Flash is not needed. Head all the way west and then south to the door. Speak to Steven, who is inside this next small room, and deliver the letter. He will give you TM47 (Steel Wing) and register you in his PokéNav. If you talk to Mr. Stone at the Devon Corporation after this event he will give you the Exp. Share as a reward for delivering the letter. Once the letter is delivered, Mr. Briney can now take you to Slateport City from the Dewford Town port.

Route 109

File:Route 109.png
Route 109. (You cannot access the southern part of the route until you have Surf.)

Here there are people, Pokémon, and battles all waiting for you! In the house on the beach, beat all the trainers inside and talk to the northmost man inside. He will give you six Soda Pops. These restore more HP than a Super Potion and are cheaper to buy (when you get to the point when you can).

Slateport City

When you arrive in Slateport City, go to Stern's Shipyard and talk to Dock. He asks you to find Captain Stern and give him the Devon Goods. If you go to Route 110, you will find the road blocked by Team Aqua Grunts! Go to the Oceanic Museum.

If you talk to the Team Aqua Grunt that you battled earlier, he will give you TM46 (Thief). Go upstairs and you will find Captain Stern. Just as you are about to give him the Devon Goods, two Team Aqua Grunts will attack in two separate battles. After you defeat them, you will meet Archie, the leader of Team Aqua. He will tell you not to interfere with his plans again, and Team Aqua will leave Slateport City. After you give Captain Stern the Devon Goods, talk to the man wearing sunglasses outside of the museum. He will introduce himself as Scott, and say that he is searching for tough trainers. He will register himself in your PokéNav and leave. Now that Team Aqua has left, you can go to Route 110, where your rival is waiting.

The market is nice, with four sections (the Secret Power section not being open until you have TM43 (Secret Power)). The items you can buy and their price are displayed below.


Dolls can be bought from the doll shop and will automatically be transported to your PC for later use. Dolls are decorations that can be placed inside your Secret Base. As you know, TMs are neat little one-time use only machines for teaching Pokémon moves. The Energy Guru sells vitamins to boost you Pokémon's stats! Unfortunately, they are expensive.

Dolls


TMs


Energy Guru


This shop sells items to decorate your Secret Base with! They are fun to use. You need a Pokémon taht knows Secret Power to make a Secret Base.

Secret Power Club shop


Now, go to the Pokémon Fan Club.

Pokémon Fan Club

A person here will give you the Soothe Bell if your lead Pokémon has high happiness. There may be a TV reporter here waiting for an interview. These reporters are all around Hoenn, wanting interviews! after an interview, go to a TV and watch this interview brodcast! The president will give you a scarf if your lead Pokémon has maxed out a stat for a Pokémon Contest. That's all you need to do here.

Name Rater

This Name Rater will praise a Pokémon's nickname, then offer to change it. (It cannot be changed if it was recived in a trade.) However, if both players have identical Trainer IDs and secret IDs, he will allow name changes.

Battle Tent

BATTLE TENT SLATEPORT SITE
"Find it! The ultimate POKÉMON!"

There are 3 Battle Tents around Hoenn, each with different styles. In this Battle Tent, you will have your Pokémon taken away for safekeeping. Then you will choose 3 Pokémon of 6, all Lv. 30. You will battle against a trainer that has 3 Lv. 30 Pokémon, and use the rental Pokémon. After the battle, you will be asked if you would like to switch 1 of your Pokémon for a Pokémon you battled against. Then you battle again, are asked if you would like to switch, and have one last battle. You will only be allowed to go to the next battle if you have won the last. If you win 3 times, you will win a Full Heal.
