As you head to eastern Hoenn, you encounter the Legendary Trainer, Brendan. He also mentions the name "Nemea".Īfter stopping Team BH from using the Aura Stone to awaken something in the volcano, you defeat two more Gym Leaders: the silent Ice-type Alice of Lavaridge, and Petalburg's quirky Romero, who uses Dark-types. Chimney, Wallace reveals that his plan is to summon Rayquaza in order to capture it and rule as the leader of the world. Their goal is to stop Team BH wherever they appear. Although you fail, you meet Team WH (White Hole, but they prefer just "WH") and their leader, Steven. Unfortunately, their methods are highly illegal, and so they must be stopped.Īfter defeating the Poison-type businesswoman Barbara, Gym Leader of Mauville City, you head to Meteor Falls to stop Team BH from obtaining a meteorite called the Aura Stone. Their goal is to bring harmony to people and Pokémon through installing a competent leader to control everything. In Slateport City, you meet Team BH (Black Hole, but they prefer just "BH") and their leader, Wallace. You go on to defeat two Gym Leaders: Rustboro's Rock-type Brock, the accomplished Pokémon Breeder, and the hot-headed Fighting-type Dewford leader, Judy. (The progression of the game mostly follows Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, so lots of things will be omitted for brevity.) Despite being an adult, he travels the region performing all kinds of pranks. His name is Mosmero, and he's quite the strange one. In addition, the Petalburg Gym Leader, Romero, has a little brother himself, who keeps crossing your path. You meet Birch's niece (or nephew), April (or Gordon), as well as Billy, the little brother of the current League Champion, Wally. The story begins as you move into Littleroot Town, and are asked by Professor Birch to complete the Pokédex in order to document all the new species. At the forefront were three very powerful and evil Pokémon. More strangely, new species of Pokémon, known as Meteoric Pokémon, began appearing everywhere. This also had a profound change on the wildlife, driving many species to extinction. This disaster, known as the Hoenn Catastrophe, greatly transformed Hoenn's landscape, turning much of the southern end into a barren wasteland and destroying the Battle Frontier, among other things. Three years ago, shortly after the crowning and subsequent retirement of Champion Brendan, Hoenn was battered by an enormous number of meteors.
