Appendix:Emerald walkthrough/Section 5: Difference between revisions

After defeating Wattson, head to the building to the right of the [[Poké Mart]] to find a man that will give you {{HM|05|Rock Smash}}, now that the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been acquired, can be used outside of battle. The house to the left of the Pokémart has a woman that will give you a [[Coin Case]] in exchange for a Harbor Mail (that is available at the Poké Mart of {{ci|Slateport}} City, or it can be picked up in a Trick House maze). With the Coin Case in hand you can never pick up money from the lottery if you have a need to pick up prizes. Anyway, head west to {{rt|117|Hoenn}}.

Not much to do here but head west to Verdanturf Town, though there is a [[Pokémon Day Care]] house located on this route for raising and breeding Pokémon. And the usual stuff found on Routes— [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, [[item]]s, and wild [[Pokémon]]— is here.

The [[Contest Hall]] that was present in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} has been replaced with a [[Battle Tent]] for testing your skills. Other areas of interests here are the house where [[Wally]]'s Aunt and Uncle live and a house where a woman can check your Pokémon's [[happiness]] level. But the main thing to do here is to head into [[Rusturf Tunnel]] and use {{m|Rock Smash}} to destroy the rock separating Wanda and her boyfriend to earn {{HM|04|Strength}} as a reward, though the {{Badge|Heat}} is still needed to use this [[HM]] outside of battle. Afterwards, return to Mauville City and head north to Route 111.

Coming up onto this Route, you have the option of challenging the Winstrate Family to a series of [[battle]]s and earning the {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}}, as well as seeing another battle facility— [[Trainer Hill]]. Unfortunately, you can't battle in the Trainer Hill yet. But anyway with {{m|Rock Smash}} now useable outside of battle, keep heading north on Route 111 until you reach the edge of the desert area. Turn and go west onto {{rt|112|Hoenn}} here, as you can't enter the desert without an [[Go-Goggles|item]] you'll receive in {{to|Lavaridge}}.

Keep going west here until you reach the stairs. Climb them. The cave entrance that is located west a short distance is [[Fiery Path]]. With Team Magma preventing you from accessing the Cable Car, your only choice is to go through the cave.  

There's not much to do here, though several {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon can be found here. Once the Heat Badge is acquired, the {{evostone|Fire Stone}} can be collected if you wish to evolve {{p|Vulpix}} into {{p|Ninetales}}. Keep going north and you'll soon reach the exit.

Here you'll learn that there is trouble revolving around a local scientist named [[Professor Cozmo]] who is being mislead by [[Team Magma]], so you'll have to save him at [[Meteor Falls]]. Before leaving town head to the [[Pokémon Center]] to meet a woman named [[Lanette]] who handles the PC Pokémon storage system for the Hoenn region. She is standing in front of the PC. She asks you to visit her at her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. Also, you'll find the [[Move relearner]] here that will help a your Pokémon relearn a move from their level-up moveset that may have been forgotten in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]]. And last but certainly not least, the third [[Battle Tent]] is here!

So! Again you will use three of your own Pokémon in battles three times! You see, no one can switch Pokémon. The Pokémon each have three turns to attack, and at the end, the Pokémon will get:

Win (2 points) —— Lose (0 points),

Tie (1 point) —— Tie, or

Mind (amount of offensive moves),

Skill (accuracy), and

Body (current HP).

The Pokémon with the lowest total of points faints, a Pokémon substitutes, and the process starts again. (The scoring will not happen if a Pokémon faints.) If you win three battles in a row, you will recieve a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}.
