After The Badge

Teach Fly to a Pokemon you plan to carry or a utility flier. Fortree becomes a great fast travel midpoint, and the rest of Hoenn becomes much easier to revisit.

The main story continues east and south toward Route 120, Route 121, Lilycove, and Mt. Pyre.

Version Note Summary

Ruby and Sapphire have the same Winona battle. The Weather Institute enemy team changes by version, but the building route and Castform reward are the same.
