Route 111 (South)
After heading north through Mauville City’s north exit, you’ll be on Route 111.
But before you proceed, make sure to teach HM06 Rock Smash to a Pokémon in your party.
Route 111 is divided into two sections by a currently inaccessible desert area. There are a lot of trainers but no tall grass in both sections of the route. The south section you’re currently on does have a pond and breakable rocks if you want to encounter Pokémon here.

Winstrate Family’s House
In the house near the pond, you can take part in an optional battle challenge. Speak to the man in front of the Winstrates’ house and you’ll face all four family members in back-to-back battles.
If you defeat them, you can visit their house to get a Macho Brace from Victoria Winstrate, who’s seated on the top-right side of the table.
Using HM06 Rock Smash
As you head north, you’ll come across breakable rocks that blocked your path if you visited this area before obtaining the third Gym Badge.
Now that you can use HM06 Rock Smash, break the rocks to pass through. When you do, you have the chance to find an item or encounter a wild Pokémon.
The full list of obtainable items are listed below:
- Big Pearl
- Ether
- Hard Stone
- Heart Scale
- Max Ether
- Max Revive
- Normal Gem
- Pearl
- Revive
- Soft Sand
- Star Piece
West Exit to Route 112 (South)
Continue north, and you’ll notice the entrance to the desert area dividing the route.
Since it’s inaccessible before obtaining the fourth Gym Badge, head west onto Route 112 to take the long way to Fallarbor Town.
Route 112 (South Side)
Immediately after entering the route, you’ll be greeted by your rival.
He won’t battle you this time, but he heals your party and gives you HM04 Strength. Keep in mind, you can’t use it outside of battle yet until you obtain the fourth Gym badge.
Then your rival heads off to Fallarbor Town to look for Professor Cozmo. After the cutscene, continue exploring Route 112 to reach the base of Mt. Chimney.

Northwest Exit to Fiery Path
At the base of Mt. Chimney, you might notice Team Aqua/Magma Grunts blocking the path to the Cable Car station. Keep this spot in mind because you’ll have to revisit it later on.
For now, enter the cave entrance to Fiery Path, located northwest from the staircase at the base of Mt. Chimney.
Fiery Path
Fiery Path is a cave that serves as a connection between the top and bottom sections of Route 112. It even includes a hidden side path about half the size of the cave, accessible with HM04 Strength.
However, as mentioned earlier, you’ll need the fourth Gym badge to use Strength – so that area will be blocked for now.
This cave is inhabited by a wide variety of different Pokémon, so catch one that interests you as you walk north along this path.

North Exit to Route 112 (North)
Eventually as you wind through the linear pathway you’ll find the exit of the cave leading to the other side of Route 112.
Route 112 (North Side)
The northern part of Route 112 is relatively short, with only one trainer to battle. Keep moving east to continue.

Route 111 (North Side)
On the north side of Route 111, you won’t encounter any Pokémon. However, you’ll find numerous trainers as you head north.
If your Pokémon need healing, there’s a rest stop nearby, saving you from the need to return all the way to Mauville City.

Old Lady’s Rest Stop
Located on the east side of the route, there’s a rest stop where you’ll find an elderly woman. Talk to her to fully heal your team for free.
West Exit to Route 113
Once you’ve reached the northernmost part of the route, your next destination is Route 113 to the west.
As you exit the route, you’ll encounter your rival again. Your rival will heal your Pokémon again before heading to Fallarbor Town, which should now be nearby.
Route 113
After your rival leaves, continue westward through Route 113.
This unique route is covered in volcanic ash that’s located between Route 111 and Fallarbor Town.
Keep an eye out for soot piles scattered along the route, as they might contain items or hidden trainers ready for a surprise battle.

Right outside Fallarbor Town’s Pokemon Center, you’ll notice your rival waiting for you.
Approach him and he will take you inside Professor Cozmo’s house.
As it turns out, the professor has been kidnapped by Team Aqua/Magma and was taken to Meteor Falls. So that’s our next destination to progress the storyline.
Though feel free to explore the town for a bit before setting off to rescue the Professor Cozmo.

You likely don’t have Heart Scales at the moment, but be sure to return here when you have some to spare.
