The {{player}} starts their {{pkmn|journey}} in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved from the [[Johto]] [[region]] after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the [[Inside of Truck|moving truck]], which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the truck, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's. | |||
The {{ | Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets Brendan or May (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, she or he soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a wild {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a {{i|Poké Ball}} out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, and {{p|Torchic}} as their [[first partner Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer. | ||
Once the player finds Brendan or May on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first trainer {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some Poké Balls. When leaving through Route 101, the player runs into Brendan or May who gives him a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, he meets with his father at the Gym, where he tells him that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman's help for catching a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the region's [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]]. | |||
The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader. | The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}.

The player meets May | The player meets Brendan or May right before the [[Rustboro Gym]], where the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the [[Devon Parts]] back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko. | ||
Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. Outside, May | Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. Outside, Brendan or May explains how she or he caught Pokémon in Petalburg Woods, commenting on how Mr. Briney was once a sailor. The player then heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but a group of Ruin Maniacs block the room Steven occupies. After the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]], they disappear and the player can find Steven in Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that they could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion. | ||
After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again. | After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City.

Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]]. Along the way, the player meets Brendan or May who gives them {{m|Strength}}, and tells them about [[Professor Cozmo]]. | ||
Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. Meanwhile, the player is told by May that Professor Cozmo has been kidnapped by the evil team at [[Meteor Falls]], located at the end of Route 114. Inside which the player along with May battles [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, along with a grunt. This time, they have stolen a valuable [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly the opposite-version's team appears, taunting the primary evil team, who retreats with the Meteorite to [[Mt. Chimney]], and warns the player to not interfere with Team Aqua{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Magma{{sup/6|AS}}. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting; after fighting the admin of the primary evil team from Meteor Falls, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, gives the player the meteorite, and retreats. | Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. The player puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion.
