 Location of Route 118 in Hoenn. | |||||
| |||||
Route 118 is an east-west route located in central Hoenn. The route, separated into two segments by the southern extent of a river that splits Hoenn into two mammoth islands, runs between Mauville City to the west and Route 123 to the east. While the western segment is densely populated with trainers on a beach, the eastern half is dominated by grass.
An interesting feature of Route 118 is that each segment has its own background music.

Route description
Western segment
From Mauville, the route is straightforward, traveling directly east-west between the city limits and the west bank of the river. The western half of this path is composed of fields while the eastern portion is a sandy beach. Aroma Lady Rose, the first of three trainers on this side of the river, waits in the fields, looking for trainers to battle. To her east on the riverbank is Guitarist Dalton and a Fisherman.
When trainers first encounter the river, it is impassable as they are often lacking HM03, Surf, at this point. After acquiring the move and the ability to use it outside of battle, trainers can cross the river to reach the eastern half.
The path across the river runs directly east-west and contains no trainers, leaving wild Pokémon as the only concern when crossing the water.
Eastern segment
Route 118 comes ashore on another beach containing a pair of Fisherman. Gabby and Ty are often found in the area as well, looking for up-and-coming Pokémon trainers to battle and interview.
The route continues east along the south edge of a ledge. After passing through a large patch of grass, Route 118 comes to a three-way intersection. The northern path leads to Route 119 while the eastern path passes by a trainer and runs through another large patch of grass before becoming Route 123.
Heading north from the intersection, a four-way intersection allows access to the upper areas that overlook the main path of Route 118. To the west is another trainer, a small area of grass, and a loamy soil patch containing two Sitrus Berry plants. To the east is yet another grass patch and a Hyper Potion. Continuing north, the path becomes Route 119.

- Hyper Potion: on the upper area of the route near its eastern terminus
