 ===Route description===
-Traveling south from Rustboro, the beaten path of the route swerves to the east for a short distance before turning south toward a bridge traversing a pond. On the north side of the pond, there is a patch of [[soft soil]] with room for three Berry trees; in Generation III two already have fully-grown trees, while in Generation VI all three do. Near the patch, an old woman gives out a [[Chesto Berry]] and reminds Trainers of the regenerating ability of Berries. Also, to the west of the patch, a {{tc|Fisherman}} is standing by the shore of the pond waiting for a battle.
+Route 104 is split into two segments, south and north, with [[Petalburg Woods]] lying between. A land-based path winds from [[Petalburg City]] in the south, through Petalburg Woods, and finally to [[Rustboro City]] in the north. Surfing south into the sea in the southern segment will also lead into {{rt|105|Hoenn}}. For a while after his [[Peeko]] is rescued, [[Mr. Briney]] will also ferry the player directly to [[Dewford Town]] or [[Slateport City]] on his boat.
-On the bridge—which runs south for half the length of the pond, turns east, then returns south and connects with the opposite bank—the first set of [[Double Battle]] Trainers that one encounters in Hoenn, {{tc|Twins}} Gina and Mia, await to challenge Trainers that cross their path. Gina and Mia will not challenge if the Trainer only has one Pokémon.
+In the southern segment, approximately half of the route is split between land and sea. Entering the area from Petalburg City in the east, there is a [[ledge]] to the north and a set of stairs to the south. The ledge to the north blocks off a small area of the northeastern part of the route, which is only accessible via the southeast exit of Petalburg Woods and where a {{ball|Poké}} can be found lying on the ground. The main path skirts this ledge to turn north, running briefly through a patch of [[tall grass]], then past Mr. Briney's cottage and towards a bed of [[soft soil]]. Turning east again at the bed of soft soil, tall grass once again springs up around the end of the path where it finally turns north a brief ways to lead into Petalburg Woods. Rich Boy Winston{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}/Lady Cindy{{sup/3|E}} waits just south of the entrance to the woods to battle the player.
-Directly east of the bridge is the [[Pretty Petal flower shop]]. In this shop, there are [[plant]]s available for purchase after the player obtains the {{badge|Dynamo}}{{sup/3|RSE}}/{{badge|Balance}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}. These plants are for decorating the interior of a [[Secret Base]]. Also, the {{DL|Watering can|Wailmer Pail}} can be obtained by speaking to the owner of the shop.
+Down the stairs south of the Petalburg City entrance is a beach that extends a short ways away from the main path, connecting with another set of stairs back to the main path just in front of Mr. Briney's cottage. A pier at the northwest end of the beach by Mr. Briney's cottage also extends into the sea, and a ship initially sits docked at this pier. The sea leads south towards {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and eventually [[Dewford Town]]. On the beach, {{tc|Youngster}} Billy paces in a square looking for a battle. A couple of hidden items can also be found buried within the sand of the beach.
-The path resumes, going south off the bridge then turning west; here {{tc|Lass}} Haley stands waiting for Trainers. To her east is a {{m|cut}}-able tree that blocks the way to a {{DL|Battle item|Dire Hit}}{{sup/3|E}} or an {{DL|Battle item|X Accuracy}}{{sup/3|RS}}. Down the path west of Haley, is another Trainer eager for battle, {{tc|Lady}} Cindy{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or {{tc|Rich Boy}} Winston{{sup/3|E}}. Continuing past a [[Trainer Tip]], the pathway reaches a junction: to the south is the entrance to [[Petalburg Woods]], to the northwest is the [[Pretty Petal flower shop]] and another patch of soft soil; in Generation III two already have fully-grown trees, while in Generation VI all three do. Near the flower shop is a guy who gives out {{TM|09|Bullet Seed}}{{sup/3|RSE}} or {{TM|49|Echoed Voice}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}. Farther north, behind the flower shop, lies a sporadic patch of grass with [[wild Pokémon]]. Several items can be found hidden in bare spots.
+In the northern segment, where the path exits from Petalburg Woods, it branches west and east. The west branch quickly turns north to the [[Pretty Petal flower shop]]. A bed of soft soil is also located nearby outside the Pretty Petal flower shop, and behind the shop there is a sizeable patch of grass where a couple of hidden items lie among the bare patches in the grass. Within the shop, the {{DL|Watering can|Wailmer Pail}} can be obtained from a girl on the north side of the shop and, after the player has obtained the {{badge|Dynamo}}{{sup/3|RSE}}/{{badge|Balance}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}, plants for [[decoration|decorating]] the player's [[Secret Base]] can also be purchased.
-Two openings emerge from the south end of Petalburg Woods. The west opening, which is the main entrance and exit, comes out to a path where either Rich Boy Winston{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or Lady Cindy{{sup/3|E}} is standing. The pathway, shrouded by grass here, turns east for a lengthy distance until it reaches a soft soil patch where {{b|Oran}} and {{b|Pecha}} Berries are growing, and the path promptly turns and continues south. The eastern opening leads to a ledge which runs parallel to the pathway at this point. A {{ball|Poké}} can be found near the edge of this ledge.
+The east branch of the path from Petalburg Woods follows the southern edge of a large pond for a considerable distance before connecting with a bridge that crosses the pond. {{tc|Lady}} Cindy{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}/{{tc|Rich Boy}} Winston{{sup/3|E}} waits on the path shortly before it connects to the bridge to battle the player, while {{tc|Lass}} Haley waits to challenge the player just east off the path where it bends to connect to the bridge. Just behind Haley there is a {{m|cut}}table tree that blocks the way to an {{DL|Battle item|X Accuracy}}{{sup/3|RSE}}/{{DL|Revive|Revive}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}. The bridge crosses the pond with a brief westward jog in the middle, and on this middle section of the bridge wait {{tc|Twins}} Gina and Mia to challenge crossing Trainers in the first possible [[Double Battle]] the player will find in Hoenn (as long as the player has at least two Pokémon in their [[party]]). A {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}} can also be found on the east shore of the pond in a brief open spot if the player uses {{m|Surf}}.
-The pathway keeps south, past the cottage of [[Mr. Briney]], where there is a kid whose Pokémon are pretty tired. The player has the option to give him a potion or not. Then ends as it approaches a large patch of grass. Past the grass the path picks up again, going southeast shortly and finally meets the west entrance to Petalburg City. Two sets of short stairways, one southwest of the entrance, the other just outside Mr. Briney's cottage, lead down to a beach marking the southwest edge of the land, and the route takes to sea, down {{rt|105|Hoenn}}, and south towards Dewford. On the beach itself, {{tc|Youngster}} Billy paces around repeatedly in a square, looking for a battle. Several hidden items can also be found scattered around. The beach provides a convenient bypass to going through the grass patch.
+On the north side of the pond, the entrance to [[Rustboro City]] lies to the northwest following the beaten path, the sides of which are dotted with a few persistent puddles. To the east of the bridge, {{tc|Fisherman}} Ivan is eager to battle if spoken to, and farther east at the edge of the route is a bed of soft soil and an old woman who will give out a [[Chesto Berry]].
-In the game, following the early storyline, the main character is forced to take Route 104 the other way round first, traversing from Petalburg up through the Petalburg Woods towards Rustboro, since the water passage blocks the way on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}.
