Lucas and his girlfriends arrived on the upper half of Route 104. They looked around and saw a flower shop to the left and a bridge over a lake to the right. They decided to look into the flower shop first.
They went into the flower shop and started looking around.
"Welcome to the Pretty Petal Flower Shop" said a young lady
"We are giving out free Wailmer Pails today" she said
"Here you go" she said holding out a Wailmer Pail
"We already have one" said Cheryl
"Alright then" said the young lady putting the Wailmer Pail away
Suicune felt someone pulling on her pants and looked around. She saw a little girl was doing it holding out a berry.
"I want you to have this berry" said the little girl
"Thank you" said Suicune taking it
"I grew it all by myself" said the little girl proudly
"You did a very good job" said Suicune smiling
"I am going to grow big flowers just like my big sisters one day" said the little girl
"I'm sure you will" said Suicune patting the little girl on the head
They left the Pretty Petal Flower Shop and crossed the bridge with Lucas fighting trainers along the way including a Double Battle with a pair of Twins. Once they were on the other side they had arrived at Rustboro City.
They went into the city and looked around at all the stone building as they went to the Pokémon Center. Lucas had his Pokémon healed and booked a room for the night before they left to go explore the city.
They first went to the Pokemart to stock up on any items they needed and Lucas was given the TM for False Swipe.
They next went into the house next to the Pokémon Center.
"You look like a strong trainer" said Cutter seeing them enter
"Take this HM" he said holding it out
"Which one is it" asked Lucas
"It's the HM for Cut" said Cutter
"Already have it" said Lucas
"How" asked Cutter putting the HM away
"I'm a three time Champion" said Lucas
"I knew I was right about you" said Cutter laughing
They left Cutter's house and next went to the Pokémon Trainer's School. There the teacher gave Lucas a Quick Claw before they left.
Their next stop was the Devon Corporation. They first went into the housing for the employees and their families. In one of the stairwells they came across an Ace Trainer.
"I became an Ace Trainer thanks to all the items I got from my father who works at Devon" said the Ace Trainer
"You can have this" he said tossing a Float Stone at Lucas
"Maybe someday you could be as great as me" he said while laughing
Lucas just put the Float Stone away and they went up the stairs. On the top floor they met a little kid who gave Lucas a Premier Ball. On the way back down they came across the Ace Trainer again who looked more like a Hiker now.
"I seemed to have suddenly gain a lot of weight" said the Ace Trainer
"Maybe you shouldn't have given this up" said Lucas holding up the Float Stone
"I didn't think it would work on people" said the Ace Trainer
"I could market it as a weight loss plan" he said as he ran off
They left the housing and went to the Devon Corporation building. But they found out they couldn't go any farther than the lobby.
So they went to last place they haven't explored, the Pokémon Gym. Lucas found out it was a Rock-Type Gym and that he needed to train for it.
They went to the Pokémon Center for the night. The next morning Lucas started his training to get his first Gym Badge in Hoenn.
After a few days of training, Lucas was ready for his first Gym Battle in Hoenn. Giratina and Ho-Oh came out of their Pokeballs to join them as they went into the Gym. Once inside they saw a brown haired girl with two pigtails standing in front of them.
"Welcome new challenger" she said
"I am Roxanne, the gym leader of the Rustboro City Gym" she said
"I became a gym leader so that I could apply what I learn in school in my battles" she said
"I will be waiting for our battle" she said as she left
Lucas and his friends looked around the gym and saw that the front was a museum and the back looked like an excavation site. On the left of the excavation site was a giant statue of a Kabutops and on the right was a giant statue of a Lileep.
They made their way to the back of the excavation site and saw Roxanne standing on a plateau.
"I see that you have made it back here" said Roxanne
"Show me what you have learned" she said
"The Gym Battle between Roxanne the gym leader and Lucas of Twinleaf town is about to begin" said the referee
"Go Geodude" shouted Roxanne throwing a Pokeball
"Go Wingull" shouted Lucas throwing a Pokeball
"Geodude vs. Wingull, begin" said the referee
"Wingull, Water Gun" commanded Lucas
Wingull shot a stream of water at Geodude and it barely survived.
"Damn it" growled Lucas
"It must have that annoying Sturdy ability" he said
"It does" said Roxanne smirking
"Geodude, Rock Tomb" she commanded
Geodude threw rocks into the air and they rained down on Wingull. But he was able to avoid all of them. Roxanne then used a Potion on Geodude but it wasn't enough as Wingull knocked it out with another Water Gun.
"Geodude is unable to battle, Wingull is the winner" said the referee
"You should have used a Super Potion" said Lucas
Roxanne growled as returned her Pokémon.
"Return Geodude" said Roxanne
"Go Nosepass" she shouted throwing a Pokeball
"Nosepass vs. Wingull, begin" said the referee
"Wingull, Water Gun" commanded Lucas
Wingull shot a stream of water at Nosepass but it was able to survive.
"Nosepass, Rock Tomb" commanded Roxanne
Nosepass threw rocks into the air and they rained down on Wingull. But he was able to avoid them all.
"Wingull, Water Gun" commanded Lucas
Wingull shot another stream of water at Nosepass and knocked it out this time.
"Nosepass is unable to battle, Wingull is the winner" said the referee
"The victory goes to Lucas of Twinleaf Town" he said
"Return Nosepass" said Roxanne
"Return Wingull" said Lucas
"I see that I have a lot more to learn" said Roxanne
"Here is proof of your victory" she said holding out the Stone Badge
"Thank you" said Lucas taking it
"Take this TM as well" said Roxanne holding out a TM
"What is it" asked Lucas taking it
"It's Rock Tomb" said Roxanne
"Rocks are throw at your opponent and may lower their speed" she explained
"Thank you" said Lucas
"You will find the next gym in Dewford Town" said Roxanne
"Congratulations" said Cheryl, Mesprit, and Suicune
They each gave him a hug and a kiss. Roxanne just huffed and looked away.
"Why didn't you have any fossilized Pokémon" asked Mesprit
"I kind of expected to see some given how this place looks" she added
"I couldn't get any" said Roxanne pouting
Lucas and his friends left the gym and went to the Pokémon Center for the night. Once they were in their room, Lucas asked "How do we get to Dewford Town"
Cheryl took out her PokeNav Plus and looked at the map.
"That's strange" said Cheryl
"What's the matter" asked Lucas
"Dewford Town is on island" said Cheryl
"WHAT" yelled Lucas
"No beginning trainer would have a Pokémon strong enough to use Surf" he said
"How do we get there anyways" he asked
"We first go to the lower part of Route 104, then go south down Route 105, and finally go west and south down Route 106 to get to Dewford Town" explained Cheryl
"Maybe that is what Mr. Briney does with his boat" said Suicune
"He takes trainers to and from Dewford Town" she added
"I guess so" said Lucas
"But you are faster than any boat Sui" he said hugging Suicune
Suicune just blushed at that.
The next day as they were leaving the Pokémon Center they saw Brendan running in.
"Why are you in such a rush Brendan" asked Lucas
"Team Aqua stole something from the Devon Corporation and I want to help get it back" said Brendan
"But I got to heal my Pokémon from winning my first badge first" he added
"We will wait for you and help you" said Lucas
"Thanks" said Brendan
He quickly got his Pokémon healed and headed back to Lucas and his girlfriends.
"Which way did they go" asked Lucas when Brendan got back
"I saw him run around and then behind the gym" said Brendan
"Let's go" said Lucas
They ran up to the gym and looked behind it and saw a Devon scientist standing there.
"What happened" asked Lucas
The scientist turned around and saw Brendan, Lucas, and his girlfriends standing there.
"You are the ones that helped me before" said the scientist
"Yes we are" said Lucas nodding his head
"Now what happened" he asked
"Team Aqua stole some very important parts from me and I need to get them back" said the scientist
"Do you know which way they went" asked Lucas
"They went down this route" said the scientist point ahead of him
"But it is a dead end since the tunnel is finished yet" he added
"We will get those parts back for you" said Lucas
"Thank you" said the scientist bowing
Brendan, Lucas, and his girlfriends then ran off onto Route 116.
