Appendix:Pokémon Emerald Walkthrough/Part 23

## Littleroot Town

After the credits roll, you'll be back in your room. Go downstairs and you'll see your dad at the house. He delivers the S.S. Ticket to you from Mr. Briney. This ticket will allow you to ride the S.S. Tidal. He explains there are ports near both Slateport and Lilycove. He leaves back to Petalburg Gym.

Suddenly, there is a breaking news story. There are reports of a "BZZT"-colored Pokémon roaming around Hoenn. Your mom will then ask you what color the Pokémon was. The options are Red or Blue. Whichever color you choose will determine what Pokémon will be roaming around the region.

* Red
* Blue

After heading outside, you'll meet up with Professor Birch and May. Birch will take you to his lab, where he will upgrade your Pokédex to National mode.

Shortly after walking outside the lab, you'll receive a call on your PokéNav from Scott. He mentions a place he'd like you to visit and to go to either Slateport or Lilycove to ride the ferry. You don't have to go right away as there's plenty more to do now that you have the National Dex.

## Routes 132-134

You can do this quest any time after defeating Tate and Liza and receiving HM08 (Dive) from Steven. To start, fly back to Pacifidlog Town. Make sure you have a Relicanth and a Wailord in your party, as well as a few Pokémon with different moves:

Surf to Route 132 through to Route 134, staying as far south as you can. You'll reach an island of shallow water that is sort of rectangular. Stand in the center on the left-most part of the island and surf west. The currents will take you to a small diving spot.

Dive underwater and take the path going south until you reach some markings on the wall. Press 🅐 next to them and you'll see a message written in Braille. This Braille message reads, "Go up here." If you go back to the surface right next to the written message on the rock, it'll take you to a secret area known as the Sealed Chamber.

## Sealed Chamber

Inside the first room of the Sealed Chamber, you'll find several slabs of rock with Braille marked on them. From left to right starting at the top left slab, you'll be able to read all the letters of the alphabet, along with the period and the comma. This might prove to be useful as Braille is a major part of this sidequest.

At the back wall, you'll find another message that reads, "Dig here." Use Dig in the center of the back wall and it will open up a door to the next room.

If you read the Braille from left to right starting again at the top left slab, you'll find a message that says:

In this cave we have lived.
We owe all to the Pokémon.
But, we sealed the Pokémon away.
We feared it.
Those with courage, those with
hope.
Open a door. An eternal Pokémon
waits.

On the back wall is another message that reads, "First comes Wailord. Last comes Relicanth."

Put Wailord in the first slot of your party and Relicanth in the sixth slot. After doing this and reading the message, an earthquake occurs that opens the doors to three ancient locations: Desert Ruins, Island Cave, and Ancient Tomb. Each one of these locations contains a member of the Legendary titans: Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, respectfully.

## Desert Ruins

Head to Route 111 and go to the south of the desert. You'll find a large rock surrounded by six rocks, which you might have passed earlier on your journey. Enter the cave and read the back of the cave and read the Braille, which reads, "Left, left, down, down. Then use Rock Smash." Follow the directions exactly and the door will open. Inside is the Legendary Rock-type titan, Regirock.

## Island Cave

You'll find Island Cave north of Dewford Town. Surf north in betweent the two islands with trees. Inside the cave, read the Braille, which reads, "Stay close to the wall. Run around one lap." Go around the perimeter of the room clockwise (you don't have to actually run; you can walk), staying as close to the wall as you can, all the way until you reach the Braille again. The cave will automatically open up. Inside the next room is the Legendary Ice-type titan, Regice.

## Ancient Tomb

The Ancient Tomb is found on Route 120, west of Lilycove City and Route 121. Go all the way west and up the two sets of stairs to reach the rock formation. Inside the first room, read the Braille, which reads, "Those who inherit our will, shine in the middle." Stand in the very center of the room and use Flash. The door will open up, leading to an encounter with the Legendary Steel-type titan, Registeel.

## Sky Pillar

Now head back to Pacifidlog Town and go back to the Sky Pillar.

The wild Pokémon are the same as before when you awakened Rayquaza to quell Kyogre and Groudon's fighting.

This time around, there is a catch: you need your Mach Bike to cross the cracked tiles on the floor. It will likely take you several tries to get across them, but eventually you'll find your way around this tricky puzzle. Once you get through it, you can continue going up the stairs until you reach the top, where Rayquaza lies waiting.

After you finally capture it, you can fly from the top of the tower.

## Weather Institute

Fly back to Fortree City and go west onto Route 119 to the Weather Institute. Go to the second floor and talk to the scientist, who is near his computer. He'll tell you where he notices a severe drought is. It can be found at one of the following locations:

* Route 114
* Route 115
* Route 116
* Route 118

As you go whichever of these locations you are told to, you'll find the weather really acting up. You'll want to look for a cave entrance. Each route has two possible cave entrances.

## Terra Cave

The cave is a straightforward path to Groudon. There are no wild Pokémon or items. Just head through the first room and go around to find Groudon hibernating in the pool of lava. Approach it and it will battle you.

Exit the cave and the drought will have subsided. Head back to the Weather Institute again.

## Weather Institute

Talk to the scientist and he'll tell you where he's notices heavy rainfall. It can be at one of the possible locations:

* Route 105
* Route 125
* Route 127
* Route 129

Route 125 has only one possible entrance to the cave, while the others have two. They are all underwater in dark spots not normally present.

## Marine Cave

Traverse through the cave to come to where Kyogre is resting. Approach it to have it battle you.

After capturing it, exit and the downpour will have stopped.

## Safari Zone

After you get your Pokédex upgraded to National Mode, two new areas open in the Safari Zone. They are east of Area 1 and contain several new Pokémon in them, many of which are native to the Johto region. Have fun and be sure to pick up the other items listed above.

## Altering Cave

If you head to the east side of Route 103, you can find a now-open cave called Altering Cave.

Only Zubat can be found in it, but it would have been possible for the Altering Cave's wild Pokémon to be altered by using Mystery Gift at a Wonder Spot hosted by Nintendo, hence its name. Despite this, no country has ever held an event to make use of this feature. Otherwise, it is a completely useless cave.

## Desert Underpass

After defeating the Elite Four, you are actually able to obtain the Fossil that you did not pick up back in Mirage Tower. Head to Route 114 and go to the Fossil Maniac's house. The cave in the back has greatly expanded. Head all the way to the east to pick up the other fossil. Head back to the Devon Corporation in Rustboro City to revive it.
