Route 111

**Route 111** (Japanese: **１１１番道路** *Route 111*) is a route in central Hoenn, connecting Mauville City, Route 112, and Route 113. The Desert Ruins, Mirage Tower, Pokémon Building and the home of the Winstrate family are all located on this route.

## Route Description

### **Southern side**

After departing Mauville City, this route travels north, with a brief curve to the east. As it returns to a south-north alignment, it passes the only water area along the route. On the shore of the pond is the Winstrate family house. At this location, Trainers are put to the test, being forced to battle all four members of the family back-to-back with no reprieve in between to restore the vitality of their Pokémon. The player faces the four in the following order: Victor, Victoria, Vivi, and Vicky. When a Trainer completes the task and defeats the family, they are given a Macho Brace by Victoria.

To the north of this area is a blockade of crumbling rocks that can be eliminated using Rock Smash. North of the blockade, the route begins to snake toward the west. Along the way, Interviewers Gabby and Ty can be battled. At the end of the southern segment is the southern end of Route 112, as well as another Trainer.

#### Pokémon Building

*Main article: Pokémon Building.*

Directly east of the Winstrate house is the Pokémon Building in the place where the Trainer Hill used to be, what was a complex for trainers to test their value is now more of an attraction, here you can take part on a little side-quest.

### **Desert side**

The desert in the center of Route 111 cannot be traversed without the Go-Goggles. There are nine sets of Trainers with most of them using Pokémon accustomed to the desert conditions. The Desert Ruins are found at the southernmost point in the desert.

#### Mirage Tower

*Main article: Mirage Tower.*

This place will disappear and reappear in the desert on Route 111 as the player visits and leaves the Route, you can find it in the connection between the southern and desert sides of this route.

#### Desert Ruins

After you unlock the secret on Sealed Chamber the Desert Ruins will open, when you enter you'll have to solve a puzzle in which you'll have to interact with the writing on the wall and then go two steps left, then two steps down, and use Rock Smash, after that a hole will appear revealing another room.

Here you would've encountered Regrock in the past but the rock titan is absent, in their place you'll find 6 items.

### **Northern side**

This segment can be entered from Route 112 to the east or, if they have the Go-Goggles, south into the desert. Continuing along, Route 111 intersects the northern terminus of Route 112 just to the southwest of the large tree. Heading north and, likewise, uphill on the lower portion of the route, the next point of interest is a boy located near a large tree. By talking to him, Trainers will receive TM43 (Secret Power).

In this area, Trainers can receive a Razz Berry from a girl, and heal their party at a location known as the Young Lady's Rest Stop. The lady, however, will continually ask the player if they want to take another rest, so in order to leave, the player must answer "no" when she asks. To the north of the rest stop, there is a Mach Bike ledge, the first of two along Route 111 that allows access to an upper cliff. North of this location, the route travels west near a pair of soft soil patches before entering Route 113.
