Once inside you'll notice to the upper left a bed and a PC near a little girl, which you can use to heal and switch out your team if need be. Here on the first floor are two Team Magma{{sup|Ru}}> / Team Aqua{{sup|Sa}} grunts you'll have to face. After the battle acess to the second floor is available.

After reaching the second floor you'll find two more grunts and an Administrator.

After the battle, Courtney<sup style="color:#A00000">R</sup>/Shelly<sup style="color:#0000A0">S</sup> is angry for failing and decides to retreat, acknowledging that they have other plans.

It is not far now to reach [[Fortree City]]. Heading east across the bridge and before going north using Surf to head south along the river gains access to a hidden area that has an item, the {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Leaf Stone}}. After you return head north and your rival {{DL|May (game)|Third battle (on Route 119)|May}}/{{DL|Brendan|Third battle (on Route 119)|Brendan}} shows up and wishes to battle.

After you defeat your rival, they will award the {{HM|02|Fly}} before leaving, but you'll need the badge from your upcoming Gym match against the [[Fortree Gym]]. Heading up, defeating two more trainers and heading east reaches Fortree City.  

==Route 120==

Head east to the tall grass in the upper right corner and cross it and then head west to reach a bridge. As you cross it you will quickly see [[Steven Stone]]. When you talk to him he'll show you an invisible Pokémon when you admit you're ready to face it. The Pokémon which is a Lv 30 {{p|Kecleon}}, can easily be dealt with by working around it's {{a|Color Change|ability}} by either using a move that is not resistant against it's own type, or using a move that is effective against the first move used to create a combo.  

When you face Winona the hardest part of her team is that her {{p|Altaria}} knows {{m|Earthquake}} which is trouble for {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon. If your team doesn't have an {{type2|Ice}} move then {{p|Solrock}}<sup style="color:#A00000">R</sup>/{{p|Lunatone}}<sup style="color:#0000A0">S</sup> is a good choice because their {{a|Levitate|ability}} renders them immune to Earthquake.

After defeating Winona she will give you the {{Badge|Feather}} which will allow all Pokémon Lv 70 or below to obey you without question and also allows you to use the HM move {{m|Fly}} outside of battle. She will also give you {{TM|40|Aerial Ace}}. Afterwards leave the gym and prepare to return to Route 120.
