{{rt|128|Hoenn}} is situated between {{rt|127|Hoenn}} to the north, {{rt|129|Hoenn}} to the south, and [[Ever Grande City]] to the east. [[Captain Stern]] mentioned that he'd found an underwater cave here while exploring in his [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]. [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}} has now breached that same cavern with their stolen sub.

===Seafloor Cavern===
The long-forgotten [[Seafloor Cavern]] can only be reached from an underwater cave in the depths of {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. [[Maxie]]{{sup/3|Ru}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/3|Sa}} has gone to great lengths to breach the seal that has protected this place for ages, in the hope of awakening the super-ancient Pokémon rumored to dwell here. He believes this Pokémon has the power to bring about the great future he desires, but the risks seem far too great.

Once you have defeated  Groudon{{sup|Ru}}/Kyogre{{sup|Sa}} the city will have clear skies and you can now enter peoples houses. After exiting the cave, head to nearest house from the cave entrance and talk to the man there to receive {{TM|31|Brick Break}}. The woman living in the house next to the [[Pokémon Center]] will give you a {{DL|Pokémon doll|Generation III|Wailmer Doll}}. The house above it has two brothers where they wish to compare the size of {{p|Shroomish}} and {{p|Barboach}} that will give you prizes if you bring them in. Once you are ready head to the Gym in the middle of the lake. [[Steven Stone]] will be there and thanks you for restoring the skies and gives the message that [[Wallace]] will challenge you now just before leaving.

Once in the final gym you will find a giant ice block puzzle. To solve this puzzle you must step on every ice tile once to open a staircase, and you can only proceed by making sure the last tile you stand on is right next to the staircase. If you step on a ice tile twice it causes it to crumble and sent you to the basement where the gym's trainers are located. There are three puzzles in all, with the next puzzle being more difficult and with more trainers located below that section. It is possible to beat the Gym leader without facing the trainers, though you could still challenge them if you wish.
====Entrance====
When you first enter the cavern, you find [[Captain Stern]]'s sub moored beneath the waves. Rise to the surface and take the north doorway to the next room.
 
====Room 1====
This room features two boulders that hinder travel. Go northwest and clear the way with {{m|Rock Smash}}, then use {{m|Strength}} to move the first boulder southward. Head east and move the second boulder eastward. At this point, there are two paths forward. The northwest doorway leads directly to the southeast part of Room 4. The southeast doorway leads through Rooms 2 and 3 to the southwest part of Room 4.
 
====Room 2====
Head south to a fork in the road. The eastern path has a cracked rock that can't be removed from this direction, so head through the doorway to the southwest instead.


The first puzzle is easy with starting from the staircase (↑1, →1, ←2, ↑1, →1).  
====Room 3====
The doorway to the south merely leads back to the entrance. Instead, go through the northeast doorway.


The second puzzle requires a little more skill (↑1, ←3, ↑2, →2, ↓1, →3, ↓1, →1, ↑2, ←3).  
====Room 4====
=====Via Room 1=====
Move the southeast boulder northward, then do the same to the eastern-most boulder. Push the east-central boulder westward and clear the cracked rock. Move the northeast boulder northward and clear the second cracked rock to the west. Push the northwest boulder westward and walk through the northwest doorway to Room 5.


The last puzzle is really hard and requires a lot of work to do (↑1, →2, ↑1, →2, ↓1, →1, ↑3, ←2, ↓1, ←1, ↑1, ←1, ↓2, ←2, ↓1, ←1, ↑1, ←1, ↓1, ←1, ↑1, ←1, ↑2, →1, ↓1, →1, ↑1, →1, ↓1, →1, ↑1, →1).  
=====Via Room 3=====
Move the southwest boulder northward and the west-central boulder eastward. Push the northwest boulder northward and clear the cracked rock. Move the northeast boulder eastward and walk through the northeast doorway to Room 6.


After going through the third tedious ice tile puzzle you should be right at Wallace, his most powerful Pokémon is {{p|Milotic}}. The only danger to watch out for is that Milotic knows how to use {{m|Ice Beam}}, so avoid using a {{type2|Grass}} against it and instead use an {{type2|Electric}}.
====Room 5====
This room has many strong water currents. {{m|Surf}} out into the water and ride the currents to a calm spot a short distance to the northeast. Sail east to ride the current to a patch of calm water to the northeast. Go east again to follow the current around the rock outcropping to the west side of the room. Surf westward and take the current to the northwest doorway.


{| align="center"
====Room 6====
|- align="center" valign="top"
This room has many strong water currents. Surf eastward along the south wall to the second current, which leads a short distance northward. Go north from here to reach the west side of the room. Sail north once more to follow the current back and forth on the room's north side. Climb onto shore and go through the northwest doorway.
|
 
{| align="center" style="background: #{{water color}}; -moz-border-radius: 1em; border: 5px solid #{{water color light}};"
====Room 7====
|- align="center"
This room has nine boulders that initially block any progress. If entering from the southwest, you'll need to move both southern-most boulders farther apart; if entering from the southeast, you only need to move the southeast boulder eastward. Next, push the middle boulder westward and the north-central boulder northward. After that, move the northeast boulder eastward and head north to run into one of the Admins, [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/3|Ru}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/3|Sa}}. She's looking for payback for what happened in the [[Weather Institute]], and draws you into battle!

After the battle Wallace will give you the {{badge|Rain}} that will allow for Pokémon of any level to obey you without question and allow for {{m|Waterfall}} to now be used outside of battle. He will also give you {{TM|03|Water Pulse}}.


Now that all the badges have been collected, you can enter [[Ever Grande City]] east of {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and compete against the {{DL|Elite Four|Hoenn Elite Four|Elite Four}}, but first we'll look at some sidequests. First you should explore the remaining sea routes to unlock the [[Legendary golems]]. The next destination is [[Ever Grande City]] where the Elite Four are located. It is located east of Route 128. You also can also go on a sidequest to locate the [[Legendary Golems]] if you wish, by heading south of Route 128 to Route 129.
====Room 8====
There are a dozen boulders here to block progress. Start off by moving the south-central boulder one step northward and the other two southern-most boulders farther apart. Push the first boulder one step westward, then shove the middle boulder one step northward. Move the boulders on the left and right farther apart, then push both the north-northwest and north-northeast boulders to the north wall. Finally, push the middle boulder to either side to reach the doorway.


==Meteor Falls==
====Deepest Room====
Now that you succeeded in collecting all 8 badges, it should be possible to explore the rest of Meteor Falls at any time.  
Go east to find {{TM|26|Earthquake}} on the room's highest level before continuing along the downward-sloping corridor. At its end, the villainous team's driven leader, [[Maxie]]{{sup/3|Ru}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/3|Sa}} will run up to you. He has found the resting place of the super-ancient Pokémon, and is ready to awaken the creature with his stolen {{key|III|Blue Orb}}{{sup/3|Ru}}/{{key|III|Red Orb}}{{sup/3|Sa}}. Being close to success, he drags you into a battle.


Once you enter use {{m|Surf}} to head over to the waterfall, then use the move {{m|Waterfall}} to get to the 2F of Meteor Falls. You will quickly see the ladder that will take you to the inner cave of the 1F.

Follow the path and then head south to the lower ladder to find yourself back in the main area of the 1F on a special ledge that has {{TM|23|Iron Tail}}.

After heading back, follow the path to the back to other part of the 2F which has an incredible amount of ledges along with the only two trainers in Meteor Falls. At the top of the ledges carefully head down them and aim towards the left side of the rocks seen in the path and without triggering the ledge near it, head to the ladder to return to inner cave of the 1F.

Use surf to travel to the hidden back room of the 1F to find {{TM|02|Dragon Claw}}. This room is also the only place to find a wild {{p|Bagon}}. If you also follow the water down the right side of this area, you can find a {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}}.


===Later...===
=====VS Archie{{sup/3|Sa}}=====
If you continue to challenge Dragon Tamer Nicholas in battles then during the fifth battle you can steal a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}} which enhances {{type2|Dragon}} moves from his {{p|Shelgon}}. It is possible to move back and forth from the ladder right by Old Couple John and Jay who are directly below him to improve the chances of challenging Nicholas again, though the amount of time before each rematch depends on chance so bring some {{DL|Repel|Max Repel}}s to avoid unnecessary battles.

Once you enter the city area from {{rt|128|Hoenn}} you can use Waterfall to head up the giant waterfall and right to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Right here you can enter [[Victory Road (Hoenn)|Victory Road]], but you will need to ensure that you have Pokémon on your team that know how to use {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, and Waterfall, as these HM moves are necessary to make it through Victory Road. Once ready head in there to be able to reach the north end of Ever Grande City where the {{DL|Elite Four|Hoenn Elite Four|Elite Four}} are.

Upon entering Victory Road head far north from the entrance and past the first staircase you see to find another staircase behind it. Climb it and cross the bridge just east of the staircase  to find a ledge in the east side with a {{DL|Ether|Max Elixer}} next to it. Once that is done head back towards entrance and use the first staircase that was north of it and cross the bridge to the west and find a ladder leading to BF1.


[[File:Victoryroadhoenn2.png|right|thumb|250px|Victory Road BF1]]
Even upon defeat, Maxie{{sup/3|Ru}}/Archie{{sup/3|Sa}} still intends to awaken the super-ancient Pokémon. When, he shows the {{key|III|Blue Orb}}{{sup/3|Ru}}/{{key|III|Red Orb}}{{sup/3|Sa}} however, {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|Ru}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|Sa}} unexpectedly awakes. It escapes the cavern with a loud cry and emerges at the water's surface. Maxie{{sup/3|Ru}}/Archie{{sup/3|Sa}} is surprised as he did not do anything. Suddenly, he receives an urgent call from his subordinates outside. The great energy generated by the legendary creature has altered and intensified [[Hoenn]]'s weather as expected, but to dangerous, unforeseen levels. The weather's dramatic shift to harsh sunlight{{sup/3|Ru}}/heavy rain{{sup/3|Sa}} influences any battles on the region's east side. The intense sunlight boosts all {{t|Fire}} moves and weakens all {{t|Water}} moves. The massive downpours boost all Water moves and weaken all Fire moves. Archie{{sup/3|Ru}}/Maxie{{sup/3|Sa}} and a pair of his Grunts enter a moment later. He condemns the villainous team's actions and tries to reason with its leader, who seems unwilling to believe that his plans are falling apart.
Once at BF1, use Flash to light up the dark room. You'll then see two boulders to use Strength on. First move the one on the upper left ←1, then the one on the lower right →1. You'll then find two rocks to use Rock Smash on with one near the staircase you encounter and one above it. If you use the one near the staircase there is a Full Restore behind some rocks and boulders. Move the first boulder ↑1, ←1 and the second boulder ←1 before destroying the rock.  


If you wish to get an item from 1F and quickly make to the ladder to BF2 it is recommended to smash the one above the staircase you just used and follow the trail there, but first you will have to move two more boulders. Smash the rock between them then push each rock to the holes in the walls carefully which are ↓1, from the one on the left and ↑1 for the one on the right. You can the ladder at the end of the trail to find a {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}} in a hidden part of 1F, then use the ladder to the left to find BF2.
==Route 128==
The group returns to the surface, where they witness the extreme weather firsthand. The power of the super-ancient Pokémon has surpassed expectations, forcing Maxie{{sup/3|Ru}}/Archie{{sup/3|Sa}} to grudgingly agree to work with his rival to set things right. Once the others leave, {{steven}} swoops down to assess the situation. He informs you that the oppressive weather seems to originate in [[Sootopolis City]] to the northwest. He's headed there to investigate, and suggests you do the same.


[[File:Victoryroadhoenn3.png|left|thumb|250px|Victory Road BF2]]
Once on BF2 follow the main path to the water and use Surf and either go to the large waterfall and use the move Waterfall or follow the trail to face some extra trainers along with finding a ladder to a small area of BF1 and find {{TM|29|Psychic}}. At the end of either path use the waterfall on the left side to travel down and use the nearby ladder to return to BF1. Then without jumping off the ledge (which is a dead end with an extra trainer and a ladder which leads you to an area in BF2 that is south of the ladder you just used), you see some more boulders and rocks. Carefully smash to upper rock, move the boulder below it ↓1, and smash the other rock without moving the other boulder to make it to the ladder to 1F, or head back to the ladder and try again.


You can now take a straight path to the exit that takes you to the other end of Ever Grande City but before you can use it Wally appears to challenge you.

Be careful when facing Wally as his {{p|Ralts}} has evolved into its final form {{p|Gardevoir}} and he has a team of five Pokémon so make sure to have different types in your party to counter his team. Afterwards Wally mentions that while he couldn't beat Brendan/May today he hopes to catch up to them. Leave and head for the north side of Ever Grande City.

Revision as of 02:57, 5 February 2017

This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
These pages follow the original Game Boy Advance iteration, not Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The guide for those games can be found here.


Route 128

Route 128
Route 128, Underwater

Route 128 is situated between Route 127 to the north, Route 129 to the south, and Ever Grande City to the east. Captain Stern mentioned that he'd found an underwater cave here while exploring in his submarine. Team MagmaR/Team AquaS has now breached that same cavern with their stolen sub.

Seafloor Cavern

The long-forgotten Seafloor Cavern can only be reached from an underwater cave in the depths of Route 128. MaxieR/ArchieS has gone to great lengths to breach the seal that has protected this place for ages, in the hope of awakening the super-ancient Pokémon rumored to dwell here. He believes this Pokémon has the power to bring about the great future he desires, but the risks seem far too great.


Entrance

When you first enter the cavern, you find Captain Stern's sub moored beneath the waves. Rise to the surface and take the north doorway to the next room.

Room 1

This room features two boulders that hinder travel. Go northwest and clear the way with Rock Smash, then use Strength to move the first boulder southward. Head east and move the second boulder eastward. At this point, there are two paths forward. The northwest doorway leads directly to the southeast part of Room 4. The southeast doorway leads through Rooms 2 and 3 to the southwest part of Room 4.

Room 2

Head south to a fork in the road. The eastern path has a cracked rock that can't be removed from this direction, so head through the doorway to the southwest instead.

Room 3

The doorway to the south merely leads back to the entrance. Instead, go through the northeast doorway.

Room 4

Via Room 1

Move the southeast boulder northward, then do the same to the eastern-most boulder. Push the east-central boulder westward and clear the cracked rock. Move the northeast boulder northward and clear the second cracked rock to the west. Push the northwest boulder westward and walk through the northwest doorway to Room 5.

Via Room 3

Move the southwest boulder northward and the west-central boulder eastward. Push the northwest boulder northward and clear the cracked rock. Move the northeast boulder eastward and walk through the northeast doorway to Room 6.

Room 5

This room has many strong water currents. Surf out into the water and ride the currents to a calm spot a short distance to the northeast. Sail east to ride the current to a patch of calm water to the northeast. Go east again to follow the current around the rock outcropping to the west side of the room. Surf westward and take the current to the northwest doorway.

Room 6

This room has many strong water currents. Surf eastward along the south wall to the second current, which leads a short distance northward. Go north from here to reach the west side of the room. Sail north once more to follow the current back and forth on the room's north side. Climb onto shore and go through the northwest doorway.

Room 7

This room has nine boulders that initially block any progress. If entering from the southwest, you'll need to move both southern-most boulders farther apart; if entering from the southeast, you only need to move the southeast boulder eastward. Next, push the middle boulder westward and the north-central boulder northward. After that, move the northeast boulder eastward and head north to run into one of the Admins, CourtneyR/ShellyS. She's looking for payback for what happened in the Weather Institute, and draws you into battle!

VS CourtneyR



VS ShellyS



Room 8

There are a dozen boulders here to block progress. Start off by moving the south-central boulder one step northward and the other two southern-most boulders farther apart. Push the first boulder one step westward, then shove the middle boulder one step northward. Move the boulders on the left and right farther apart, then push both the north-northwest and north-northeast boulders to the north wall. Finally, push the middle boulder to either side to reach the doorway.

Deepest Room

Go east to find TM26 (Earthquake) on the room's highest level before continuing along the downward-sloping corridor. At its end, the villainous team's driven leader, MaxieR/ArchieS will run up to you. He has found the resting place of the super-ancient Pokémon, and is ready to awaken the creature with his stolen Blue OrbR/Red OrbS. Being close to success, he drags you into a battle.

VS MaxieR



VS ArchieS



Even upon defeat, MaxieR/ArchieS still intends to awaken the super-ancient Pokémon. When, he shows the Blue OrbR/Red OrbS however, GroudonR/KyogreS unexpectedly awakes. It escapes the cavern with a loud cry and emerges at the water's surface. MaxieR/ArchieS is surprised as he did not do anything. Suddenly, he receives an urgent call from his subordinates outside. The great energy generated by the legendary creature has altered and intensified Hoenn's weather as expected, but to dangerous, unforeseen levels. The weather's dramatic shift to harsh sunlightR/heavy rainS influences any battles on the region's east side. The intense sunlight boosts all Fire moves and weakens all Water moves. The massive downpours boost all Water moves and weaken all Fire moves. ArchieR/MaxieS and a pair of his Grunts enter a moment later. He condemns the villainous team's actions and tries to reason with its leader, who seems unwilling to believe that his plans are falling apart.

Route 128

The group returns to the surface, where they witness the extreme weather firsthand. The power of the super-ancient Pokémon has surpassed expectations, forcing MaxieR/ArchieS to grudgingly agree to work with his rival to set things right. Once the others leave, Steven swoops down to assess the situation. He informs you that the oppressive weather seems to originate in Sootopolis City to the northwest. He's headed there to investigate, and suggests you do the same.
