Route 104 (South)

Mr. Briney's house

Return to the south side of Route 104 and visit Mr. Briney's cottage. Inside, you find the elderly man happily chasing his Wingull around the house. Speak to him, and he thanks you again for saving Peeko. After hearing of your deliveries to be made in Dewford Town and Slateport City, Mr. Briney is happy to assist you. He is prepared to set sail for Dewford Town right away, but gives you a moment to prepare if necessary. When ready, you follow him and Peeko onto his ship and the trio sets off across the waves.

Routes 105 and 106

Route 105

Route 106

As Mr. Briney sails directly to Dewford Town, there is no chance to fully explore the waters of Routes 105 and 106 on the first visit.

Dewford Town

Dewford Town

Dewford Town is a tiny island town in the southern ocean. New trends are always the rage among its residents. Despite its isolation, many Trainers travel to the area to challenge the Dewford Gym.

Dewford Hall

Located to the north of the Pokémon Center, Dewford Hall is known as "Everyone's Information Exchange!". Though Dewford is a tiny island community, when someone comes up with a trendy new phrase here, it quickly spreads throughout the region. Speak to the boy in front of the building to learn the coolest thing in cool right now; if you disagree, he offers a chance to change the current phrase, which the residents inside will quickly adopt.

Cast the Line

Speak to the Fisherman to the east of the Gym, and he asks if you are getting the itch to fish. Agree, and he gives you an Old Rod. With this fishing rod, you can now cast your line at any body of water to reel in Water-type Pokémon. The Old Rod is a low-end model, and is often only able to hook Magikarp.

Dewford Gym

Dewford Gym

Dewford Town Pokémon Gym Leader: Brawly A Big Wave in Fighting!

The Dewford Gym specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon. Fighting-type moves are super effective against Dark-, Ice-, Normal-, Rock-, and Steel-type Pokémon, while Fighting-type Pokémon are weak to Flying- and Psychic-type moves.

The Gym is a maze of poorly-lit hallways. The buff Trainers inside hone their skills by training in total darkness. The visible area lights up more and more with each Gym Trainer that is defeated. When the Gym Leader is defeated, the lights are turned on and the building interior is fully visible.

Even with only two Pokémon, Brawly can still be a tough opponent. His Machop can deal increased damage by first using Leer to cut the target's Defense. In addition, its Guts Ability boosts its physical Attack by 50% when afflicted with a status condition. Both Machop and Makuhita can use Bulk Up to raise their Attack and Defense power. As both Pokémon have relatively low Special Defense, Psychic-type attacks will have the greatest effect.

Granite Cave

Granite Cave is famous for its rare stones and cave art, which depicts events from thousands of years ago. While the ground floor is well-lit from the natural light outside, it can be difficult to explore the underground portion without the use of Flash.

1F (Lower)

Let There Be Light

Speak to the Hiker near the entrance, and he warns that it will be difficult to navigate the darker parts of the cave. He mentions how he saw a man named Steven earlier who was able to use Flash, and should be alright on his own. As you are unable to do so, the Hiker gives you your own copy of HM05 (Flash).

Continue westward through the chamber to reach an Escape Rope, then climb down the nearby ladder.

B1F

Head north from the ladder, then turn eastward. Pick up the Poké Ball in the first dead-end path to the south, then climb down the ladder to the southeast.

B2F

Go west and climb the stairway to reach the upper level. Turn eastward and climb up the northeast ladder.

B1F

Climb up the next ladder to return to 1F.

1F (Upper)

Follow the path westward and enter the chamber at its end.

1F (Back)

Speak to the man in the rear chamber, and he introduces himself as Steven. He is interested in rare stones, and travels all around looking for more to add to his collection. Steven soon realizes that you have a Letter for him, and accepts the delivery. As thanks, he gives you a TM that contains his favorite move, TM47 (Steel Wing). Seeing your capable-looking Pokémon, he encourages you to keep up your training so that you might become the Pokémon Champion one day. He then exits the chamber.

Dewford Town

Speak to Mr. Briney at the pier. There is still another delivery to be made, so it is time to set sail for Slateport City.

Routes 107 and 108

Route 107

Route 108

As Mr. Briney again sails directly to the next destination, there is no chance to fully explore the waters of Routes 107 and 108 on the first visit. There is little of interest on Route 107, but Route 108 holds the remains of a half-sunken Abandoned Ship.
