It's been years since I lost my original copy of Pokemon Emerald, but now...it's time to return to the Hoenn Region after so many years with the ROM. So...Birch says some stuff, and I'll name myself Kobora, and I'm a dude. I start off in a moving truck, and I end up in Littleroot Town. I went and set the clock, so now it's time to meet the neighbors. Looks like I met a girl named May, but she isn't important yet. Anyway, I'm heading to the first route in the game until Birch was being attacked by a Zigzagoon. He has three Poke Balls in his bag, so I'll take Mudkip.
After battling that pokemon, Birch took me back to his lab, and I nicknamed Mudkip. Now it's time to go battle May. On my way to find May, I reached Oldale Town. North of that is where May is. Now, in Route 103, it's time to battle May. She has a Treecko. After owning May, I rushed back to Littleroot, and got the Pokedex, 5 Poke Balls, and the Running Shoes. Now, to Petalburg City! In Route 102, I got into some battles, but those aren't important yet.
Now, in Petalburg City. Time to see Dad. And...a kid walks in on the conversation. He's Wally, and I helped him catch a Ralts. But...on my way out of Petalburg City, a guy came over to me. He's looking for talented trainers. Oh well, I guess I'll see him later. Now, onward to Petalburg Woods! In the woods, I caught a Shroomish, and nicknamed it Smash. Now...when traveling through Petalburg Woods, I met a Devon Researcher who was being attacked by a Team Aqua Grunt. I did own him, of course. I got a Great Ball as thanks, but the researcher ran off for Rustboro. Let's-a go!
Finally, after crossing Petalburg Woods, and Route 104, I've finally reached Rustboro City. I could go to Route 116 and catch Taillow right now, but instead, I'm going to the Rustboro Gym. It's a Rock type Gym. After owning all the trainers, Roxanne is next. She has 2 Geodude, then her signature Nosepass. It got owned, and I won, getting the Stone Badge and now...it's time to go catch Taillow. Although...when I left the gym, a Team Aqua Grunt was running out of a building, along with the same researcher as before. Although...I'll handle it later.
This concludes this chapter of my Trio-Species Challenge.
