Pokémon Emerald walkthrough/Route 103

Route 103
Travel northward up Route 103. There is some tall grass with a few wild Pokémon. At the end of the route will be May/Brendan. Talking to him or her will initiate your first battle.

May will tell you to go home. Follow her through Route 103, Oldale Town, and Route 101. Get to the Pokemon Lab, and Professor Birch will bestow the Pokedex upon you. He will explain its usage, and then you can set off. May will also give you five Poke Balls so you can catch Pokemon of your own. Oldale Town's Poke Mart will now carry Poke Balls.

You're free to go, but wait! One last thing. Whether you talk to her or she talks to you, your mom will give you the Running Shoes. Press and hold B Button to dash.

Route 103 Revisited
Now, you can go back to Route 103 to catch some wild Pokémon!

. When you're done, head over to Route 102, which is no longer blocked.
