Now that the Elite Four has been defeated it is time for you to see all the remaining things that can be done at this point.

== Eon Pokémon==
Once you start your save file again you should be in your room at your house in [[Littleroot Town]]. Go downstairs and your father will be there. He gives you a present from your old friend [[Mr. Briney]], the S.S. Ticket for the [[S.S. Tidal]] and suggests you go to the Battle Tower, before leaving for the [[Petalburg Gym]]. Take a look at the TV— it states that there is a flying Pokémon traveling around Hoenn, which is {{p|Latios}}{{sup|Ru}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup|Sa}}. From this point on you have a chance of finding one of these [[Roaming Pokémon]]. To get the other [[Eon duo|Eon Pokémon]], you must use either the other version or get the event-exclusive Eon Ticket to [[Southern Island]], a special Nintendo event-only location.

Since the Pokémon change locations, when a boundary is crossed (such as entering or exiting a building), one viable strategy for increasing encounters with the Eon Pokémon is to find a grass patch near a building, such as [[Route 117]] near the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or the southern end of [[Route 110]] near the entrance to [[Seaside Cycling Road]]. Use a Repel (of any strength) and bunny hop on the Acro Bike in the grass. If the Eon Pokémon doesn't appear within a minute or so, enter and exit the nearby building to change the area the Eon Pokémon is currently visiting, and repeat the process. Once you've encountered the Pokémon the first time, its current location will be visible in your Pokédex.

==S.S Tidal==
With the S.S. Ticket in your hand you can board the [[S.S. Tidal]] in [[Slateport City]] or [[Lilycove City]]. This ship can transport between both cities or to the [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)|Battle Tower]]. If you choose the Battle Tower there it quickly takes you there, but if you choose either of the two cities you can actually go inside of it. 

The S.S. Tidal is in command of old friend [[Mr. Briney]] who previously helped you got across the ocean between Slateport, [[Dewford City]] and [[Petalburg City]]. Mr. Briney was made the honorary captain by [[Captain Stern]] (though it was first referenced if you head to Stern's Shipyard in Slateport after the Team Magma{{sup|Ru}}/Aqua{{sup|Sa}} encounter).

All you need to do on this ship is sleep in your cabin, to be allowed to leave the ship, though you do have the option of challenging trainers.

{{itlistfoot|water}}
|}

You can also go collect a few items namely {{TM|49|Snatch}} from the cabin directly above Cabin 4 or the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}} hidden in the trash in the upper left corner of the basement. Other than that there is nothing else to do inside of the S.S. Tidal. After resting in your room a few times, the announcement will be made that the ship has arrived in whichever city you are headed to.

==Battle Tower==
[[File:BattleTowerRS.png|right|thumb|150px|Battle Tower]]

Once you make the request to head to the Battle Tower in Slateport or Lilycove Harbor you will automatically arrive. This area is the only closed off area of Hoenn that is accessible by ship and once you are here only the ship or {{m|Fly}} can take you back to the main areas of Hoenn.

The battle tower is designed to test your skills as a player and can give you a trainer star if you win 50 in a row. The battles involve single, double, or linked up battles. Other than that there is no other function that the player tower has. Here is the list of those banned from use.

==Sky Pillar==
[[File:Sky Pillar.png|right|thumb|150px|Sky Pillar]]
When ready head to Route 131 (Look {{DL|Appendix:Ruby and Sapphire walkthrough/Unlocking the Legendary Golems|Route 131|here}} for any details on this Route or those around it) and head north into the Sky Pillar.

Once you get past the entrance you should reach the building. You will need to use the {{DL|Bicycle|Mach Bike}} to get to the top along with skilled timing to get past the cracked floor. It would be smart to bring some {{DL|Repel|Max Repel}} to avoid unnecessary battles while concentrating on using the bike.
[[File:Sky Pillar 4F.png|right|thumb|150px|Sky Pillar 4F]]

On the 2F there should be some difficulty but all you have to do is head for the other door, and only worry about making a few well timed sharp turns. The 4F is more difficult however, you must move south, then quickly move west, at the last part of the south area of the room you have to quickly move north without stopping at the rock. Lastly without moving too slow or too fast to overshoot it, move to the cracked area in the middle and fall down to return to the 3F and use the stairs there to get back up, then you can travel to the 5F. Just be patient on both these floors since it will take some time before you can pull it off successfully.

[[File:Sky Pillar 6F.png|left|thumb|150px|Sky Pillar 6F, Rayquaza's chamber]]

|move4=Outrage|move4type=Dragon}}
|} 

Once you reach the 6F you will find the legendary Pokémon {{p|Rayquaza}}. Rayquaza is the highest level Pokémon you will find in the game, and unless you have a Pokémon that is around that level then a Master Ball is necessary.

Pretty much this is all that the game has to cover so this all there is to this quest in Ruby and Sapphire and only the Battle Tower can offer a challenge at this point.
