Appendix:Pokémon Emerald Walkthrough/Part 17

## Route 126

Fly back to Mossdeep City and head to the west peninsula, and keep heading south. You'll eventually run into some Trainers.

Go south of them to battle a male Swimmer.

Go south even further to battle a female Swimmer.

Go south of her, and west to battle another Swimmer.

Go west as far as you can, then south to battle two more Trainers.

If you haven't already, use Dive in the spot below them, and traverse underwater to find a hidden Blue Shard. Come back above the water and then Dive down once again into the large diving spot. Keep going north until you go past a spot where you can't swim up, then go up into the lighted area. Go east to pick up a hidden Heart Scale. Come back up to the surface and head straight south to battle another Swimmer.

Dive back down to where you were before battling her. Go around counterclockwise to find a hidden Ultra Ball. Come back around and go south into some seaweed. In a T-shaped spot is a hidden Big Pearl. Go west and into the underwater cavern. Once inside, come back to the surface and you'll be in Sootopolis City.

## Sootopolis City

Here, there's a few things you can do. Heal if you need to on the east side. Talk to the girl on the left inside, who will offer to teach one of your Pokémon the move Double-Edge. Head outside, then talk to the girl in the house just east of the Pokémon Center. She will give you a Wailmer Doll.

The house just north of this has a Fisherman and a Hiker arguing about the Pokémon Lotad and Seedot. If you show the Fisherman a record-breaking Lotad or the Hiker a record-breaking Seedot, they'll each give you an Elixir.

Go to the left side of the city and into the Poké Mart. You can stock up if you need to.

Go north of the Poké Mart and into the northern house. Inside is a man with a Kecleon who will give you TM31 (Brick Break). Keep going clockwise and you'll reach an area guarded by an old man. He explains that this is the Cave of Origin. It will become important later on.

Go back around and Surf to the southwest of the Mart. Here you'll find a girl named Kiri who will give you a random Berry from the one's listed above.

If you try to Surf up to the Gym, you'll notice it's locked. So for now, Dive back down and go back to Route 126. Go northeast to get to Route 127.

## Route 127

Surf straight up to battle some Trainers.

Right above them is a Rare Candy. Surf to the area north of them to grab a Zinc. Go down, right, and up to battle a Fisherman on an island.

Go northeast of him to battle another Fisherman.

And on the east side of the island is another Fisherman.

If you Dive down in the dark water east of him, you can find a hidden Red Shard in a rock. Go south of the large island and Dive down again to find a hidden HP Up. Come back up and nearby is a Triathlete.

Go straight down to reach another small island. On the east side is a Black Belt.

Go back up, Surf left and down to battle another Triathlete.

Surf south of her to reach Route 128.

## Route 128

* On the west side of the ring-shaped island in the route's center *(hidden)*
* On the south side of the southwestmost island *(hidden)*

Surf directly south onto the little island to battle a female Cooltrainer.

Surf east to battle a male Cooltrainer.

Surf down to the large island southeast to battle a Fisherman.

West of the Fisherman and suring south will get you into a battle with a male Triathlete.

Surf north on the east side of the Fisherman to battle a female Triathlete.

Keep going east and you can find two Swimmers to battle.

If you keep going east, you'll reach Ever Grande City. However, it's not time to go there yet. Head back and Dive down in the center of the ring-shaped island to find a hidden Protein.

Dive down in the water just south of the island and go into the cavern. Inside you'll find the stolen Submarine Explorer 1 parked nearby. Come back up and you'll be at the entrace of the Seafloor Cavern.

## Seafloor Cavern

Make sure you have Pokémon with all of the above moves in your party. Once inside, head up and smash the rock with Rock Smash, then push the boulder either down or up with Strength. Head east and push the boulder to the right. Head up to battle a Team Aqua Grunt.

Go up the stairs near him and go down to face another Grunt.

Enter the room below him. Push the top boulder to the right, and the other one down to smash the rock. Go into the room and down the ledge. Here you can find another two Grunts.

Go east past the cavern. Go up and into the next room. Push the boulder up twice and then left. Push the next one up all the way and enter the next room. You'll have some rapid currents to deal with. Go up, right, up, and left to get through it. Head up and into the next room. Inside, you'll find another Grunt as well as Aqua Admin Shelly, that you can face in a Double Battle if you choose.

In the next room, push the boulders directly on the sides of the center boulder up once. Push the center one up once, and the left and right ones to the sides. Now move the top left one up, the top right one up, and the center one either to the left or right to gain access into the next room. In the next room, go right to find TM26 (Earthquake). Head down and around to find the Legendary Pokémon Kyogre. Archie arrives to stop you.

After losing, Archie activates the Red Orb and awakens Kyogre, only for Kyogre to flee far away. He gets a message from outside saying it's raining very heavily, so much so that people are in danger, including Team Aqua members. Archie wonders why he couldn't control Kyogre with the Red Orb, and Maxie comes in to confront him. Archie bites back saying Maxie couldn't control Groudon either. However, because of the situation, all of you are teleported outside.

You'll notice the heavy rain mixed with harsh sunlight. Archie is confused about the scene. Maxie tells him they have to do something about it, and then talks to you. He says he has no right to judge Archie because he's just as wrong. They leave a bit later. After they do, Steven shows up and wonders what's happening. He says the huge rain cloud is spreading from above Sootopolis City. He then says that Sootopolis might provide answers before heading there.

## Sootopolis City

Fly back there and you'll find Kyogre and Groudon in the center of the city at war with each other. Archie and Maxie are near the Gym watching in horror.

Surf to the west and you'll find Steven. He tells you he'd like you to meet someone. He takes you around to the entrance of the Cave of Origin. Steven tells you to go inside and meet Wallace.

### Cave of Origin

Head straight and into the next room. Go around clockwise and down the ladder. Head around to the center to find Wallace. He says he was once the Gym Leader of Sootopolis Gym, but he had something come up. He has now entrusted his mentor Juan with the Gym's operation. He mentions the Legendary Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre, but also mentions a third Legendary Pokémon: Rayquaza. He says that in the past, Rayquaza calmed down Groudon and Kyogre, but he says he has no idea where Rayquaza is now. He'll ask you if you by chance know. If you say **Sky Pillar**, he'll remember and ask you to head there as soon as possible.

Head out of Sootopolis City and go back to Route 128, then keep going west to arrive at Route 129.
