Brendan then departed headed for Mauville City. He healed at the Pokemon Center then grabbed some supplies at the Poke Mart before heading north on Hoenn Route 110. After being unable to go on Seaside Cycling Road, he walked into tall grass.

"Well, that's fine." shrugged Professor Birch.
Professor Birch rubbed his chin.
"Oh yes, I heard that your PokeNav had the Match Call system installed." noted Professor Birch.
