Route 109

Upon landing, explore Route 109 by heading north from the docks. While part of the route is on the sea, the majority is a beach area with trainers to battle and hidden items to discover.

One notable location on Route 109 is the Seashore House, found by going northwest from the docks.

Defeat all five trainers at Seashore House to receive a reward—half a dozen Soda Pops.

After the challenge, the owner will begin to sell Soda Pops for 300 Pokedollars each. These are a cost-effective alternative to Super Potions.

North Exit to Slateport City

When you’re finished exploring, head north up the stairs to enter Slateport City.

Slateport City

Slateport is a bustling port city, and it has many landmarks you might want to check out.

But if you want to proceed with the main story, head straight to Stern’s Shipyard to find Captain Stern.

Poké Mart Stock Update

After earning the 2nd Gym Badge, all Poké Marts in Hoenn will update their inventory.

These new items & their prices are listed below:

And in Slateport’s Poké Mart, the second clerk offers the following Battle Items:

Slateport Market

On the southwest side of the city is the Slateport Market, an outdoor bazaar featuring items that can’t be found anywhere else.

Right now you can access these shops:

• TM Shop
• Incense Shop
• The Energy Guru

Additionally, there are two more shops in the bottom row of Slateport Market: The Doll Shop and The Secret Power Club Shop. However, they will only sell items to you once you obtain TM94 Secret Power.

TM Shop

The top right stall in Slateport Market sells various TMs:

Incense Shop

The middle-right stall sells various incenses, which can be useful in battles and for breeding certain Pokémon:

Energy Guru

In the middle-left stall, the Energy Guru sells Vitamins for 9,800 Pokédollars each. On Mondays, you can take advantage of a sale that offers a 50% discount on all items:

Name Rater

If you want to change your Pokémon’s nickname, visit the Name Rater in a house northwest of Slateport City’s Pokémon Center. He can only change names for Pokémon that you own, which means traded Pokémon can’t be nicknamed.

Delivering the Devon Parts

To continue the main story, you’ll need to deliver the Devon Parts to Captain Stern.

So head southeast from the city’s Pokémon Center to find Stern’s Shipyard.

Stern’s Shipyard

Upon entering Stern’s Shipyard, a cutscene will play. A man named Dock will inform you that Captain Stern is currently at the Oceanic Museum.

Oceanic Museum – Team Aqua/Magma Battle

Head east of the city’s Pokémon Center and pay the entrance fee to access the Oceanic Museum.

Inside, you’ll discover that Team Aqua/Magma Grunts have taken over the place, but none of them will challenge you to a battle.

On the second floor, make your way towards the southeast side and talk to Captain Stern. As you attempt to give him the Devon Parts, two Team Aqua/Magma Grunts will challenge you to a battle.

After defeating them, the leader of Team Magma/Aqua introduces himself and then leaves with his Grunts.

Pokémon Contest Spectacular

Leave the museum and try to exit Slateport City through its north exit to Route 110.

As you attempt to leave, you’ll overhear Ace Trainers talking about Lisia doing a photoshoot.

In a cutscene, you’ll go to the Contest Hall and be scouted for Pokémon contests by Lisia herself. She’ll then give you two Key Items: the Contest Pass and the Pokéblock Kit.

Contest Hall

The items Lisia gave you will allow you to participate in Pokémon Contests all over Hoenn.

Contests are divided into five types:

• Coolness
• Beauty
• Cuteness
• Cleverness
• Toughness

Each of these types also have four categories. Win contests by using the right move combinations and maximizing contest stats with Pokéblocks.

Special Gift Pikachu

After your first Pokémon Contest, you’ll be gifted with a special Cosplay Pikachu from a Pokémon Breeder NPC. This Pikachu can change costumes, each with a unique signature move for each contest category.

Cosplay Pikachu	Contest Category	Signature Move
Pikachu Rock Star	Coolness	Meteor Mash
Pikachu Belle	Beauty	Icicle Crash
Pikachu Pop Star	Cuteness	Draining Kiss
Pikachu, Ph.D.	Cleverness	Electric Terrain
Pikachu Libre	Toughness	Flying Press

To change your Pikachu’s costume, go to the green room on the right side of the Contest Hall and talk to the Pokémon Breeder again.

North Exit to Route 110

Whether or not you participate in a contest, continue to Route 110 by leaving Slateport City through its north exit.

Route 110

Because Route 110 directly connects Slateport City to Mauville City, proceed north along this route to reach the next city’s entrance. This lengthy route features the Trick House, Seaside Cycling Road, and New Mauville.

Trick House

After battling a Poké Fan, you’ll discover the Trick House—a peculiar house with ever-changing puzzles designed to test your skills as a trainer.

For now, you can only challenge the 1st puzzle. But you can return later to unlock more puzzles.
