Appendix:Pokémon Emerald Walkthrough/Part 9

## Route 111 (Desert)

* In a rock Ruin Maniac Dusty is running around *(hidden)*

Before going onward, make sure you have the Mach Bike, not the Acro Bike.

Welcome to the desert. You can either get here from Fallarbor Town by heading east past Route 113 and riding the Mach Bike up the mountain and down to start from the top, or go through Fiery Path and east to start from the bottom. For the purposes of this walkthrough, I will be going from the top down. To start off, go east to battle a Camper.

Head west, then down and grab the Stardust. Up from that is another Camper.

To the southeast of him is a Picnicker.

South of her, you'll find another Picnicker and a Ruin Maniac.

The rock near her has a hidden Rare Candy in it.

Below them are another three Trainers, two of whom could potentially be fought in a Double Battle.

Below them you'll see a series of rocks in a special formation. This area will be covered later. Go down as far as you can go to pick up TM37 (Sandstorm). Go up a bit and you'll see a strange sand tower.

### Mirage Tower

The trickiest part of this place is crossing the cracked tiles on the second floor. Once you (eventually) accomplish that, head up to the third floor. Go west and up, and use Rock Smash to break the rocks. On the fourth floor, break the rock guarding the platform, and you'll be able to choose either the Root Fossil or the Claw Fossil. Choose one of them, and the other will disappear as the tower collapses.

Once that happens, head back to Rustboro City. To get there, go down to Mauville City and go west to Verdanturf Town and go through the Rusturf Tunnel, then go west.

## Rustboro City

Head into the Devon Corporation and go to the second floor. The man at the southeast will take the Fossil you received and revive it. Make sure you have an empty spot in your party for it.

When you're done, head down Route 104 and through the Petalburg Woods to get back to Petalburg City for your Gym battle against your father.

## Petalburg City

### Petalburg Gym

Before you can battle your father, you must battle at least three Trainers first. The Petalburg Gym is set up as a series of rooms. Each room contains a Trainer who specializes in a different method of battling, such as causing confusion or using HP recovery. A sign on each door explains what kind of tactics to expect from the Trainer in the awaiting room.

After defeating him, Norman be shocked at his loss against his child. Nevertheless, as his duties require, he hands over the  Balance Badge. This allows the move Surf to be used outside of battle. You'll also receive TM42 (Facade).

After your victory, Wally's father comes in and takes you to his house. Pleased with the help you've given to Wally, he rewards you with HM03 (Surf). Now there are several new places that have opened up for you to explore.

For starters, Surf in the pond east of the Gym to grab the Max Revive. Go to the southwest and Surf down to pick up an Ether. Go to the southeastern part of that same pond to find a hidden Rare Candy.

## Littleroot Town

Head back to your house in Littleroot Town and talk to your mother. If you haven't already, she will register you in your PokéNav. Now that you've defeated Norman, talk to her again and she will give you an Amulet Coin. This will double your prize money earned if the Pokémon that's holding it participates in the battle.

## Route 104

Head back through Petalburg Woods and go to the northern part of Route 104. Surf east of the Twins on the bridge to grab a PP Up. Also, any time after defeating Wattson, come back here and talk to the girl in front of the Pretty Petal Flower Shop, and she'll give you a White Herb.

## Route 103

Head back down through the woods again and go east past Petalburg City, through Route 102, and to Oldale Town, back up to Route 103. Go to the east and Surf. You can battle two Swimmers potentially in a Double Battle.

Keep heading east past all the Trainers (that you've already defeated), and head down Route 110 to get back to Mauville City.

## Mauville City

Here, you'll find Wattson in the middle of the city. He'll ask you to perform a quest. Apparently the electric generator in a place called New Mauville is malfunctioning. He'll give you the Basement Key that grants access to this area.

## New Mauville

To get there, go down to Route 110 and Surf down to the northeast corner of the body of water. There will be a small tunnel you can enter.

Once inside the building, step on the nearby blue switch to unlock the door. Head west and step on the green switch. Keep going west and then north. Ignore the next blue switch and go east. In the nearby room, grab the Escape Rope on the blue switch. Before stepping on it, go back down and go east to grab an Ultra Ball. Going around clockwise will take you back to the entrance.

Go back to where you were, and hit the second blue switch this time. Go east and you'll find a Voltorb disguised as an item ball. Go left and you'll come to a room with two items. The one on the green switch is a Parlyz Heal, but the one on the blue switch is another Voltorb.

Keep going around until you find two more item balls. Once again, you'll find a Voltorb on the blue switch. The other item is a Full Heal. Step on the green switch and keep heading east. You'll see the generator. On the far east, pick up the ThunderStone, then hit the red switch to power off the generator. Now backtrack to escape from the building, and head back up to Mauville City.

## Mauville City

Talk to Wattson and he'll thank you by giving you TM24 (Thunderbolt).

## Surfing Secrets

You can now Surf and access many things you previously couldn't before. You can Surf down from Route 104 and go down toward Dewford Town. However, that will be covered at a later time.

### Route 115

Go north of Rustboro City up to Route 115. Surf as far north as you can go until you reach some land. Keep heading north there to battle a few Trainers.

Above him is a Heal Powder. Keep heading north in-between the gap of trees to have another Double Battle.

Above them are three Berry plants, each giving two Kelpsy Berries. Go up to the cliff on the right and grab TM01 (Focus Punch). Head up the slope on the Mach Bike, and go around the mountain to find an Iron.

### Route 110

Just to the north of Slateport City on Route 110, under the bridge are some gaps near the water where you can Surf. Surf north on the upper lake to grab a Rare Candy on a lone isle.

### Route 111

Surf west of the Winstrate family's house to find an HP Up. Now it's time to move onward toward the next Gym.
