You can buy certain things in Pokemon Mart, like Potion, Awakening, Antidote, Paralyze Heal, and many more except POKEBALL!!!

Pokemon Trainer: MAY Pokemon used: TREECKO LVL 7 Diffuculty: EASY Strategies: This is no push over, Just use POUND for TREECKO and use POTIOn if your POKEMON's health starts dropping down. Once you defeat MAY she will ask you to go back in town and have a rest. So go all the way back to Littleroot Town. After going to Littleroot town, be sure to go to your MOM and rest. After resting, go to Professor Birch's lab to get a Pokedex. Professor Birch gave you a Pokedex because you beat MAY. YAY ^_^! After you get the Pokedex from Prof. Birch, MAY will give you 5 Pokeballs. She will tell you that she will find new pokemon.

He was talking about that he saw a strange footprint. Go to him and you will see that he's not blocking the road anymore. That path leads you to Route 102. Don't forget to buy lot's of Potions and Pokeballs! --------- Route 102 --------- Pokemon: Treecko LVL 8, Wurmple LVL 3 In these place, you will begin battling Pokemon trainers. Go and battle the trainers that you will see in the road. You will be a good trainer when you have good Pokemon. Here's the list of all the trainers you will fight in the area and what are their Pokemon that they're using: (after this list, we'll proceed the game!) Trainer: Youngster Calvin Pokemon Used: Zigzagoon LVL 5 Strategies: This is easy, just use POUND if your using Treecko or use scratch. Use a normal attack and you will beat this Youngster!

Once you get it, head west and you should be in Petalburg City. -------------- Petalburg City -------------- Pokemon: Treecko LVL 10, Wurmple LVL 10 Be sure to go first to Pokemon Center because I'm sure your Pokemon are tired and injured. After healing your Pokemon, go to Pokemart to purchase Potion because you will fight a GYM leader in these city. Go North and you should find a GYM. Go inside and you will see a GUY standing in front of the door. Talk to him and you will learn that he's your father. Once you talk to him, somebody will barge in. His name is Wally. Wally is from Verdantrof City. He came to Petalburg because he's on a vacation and want to catch a Pokemon. He wants to get pokemon from your dad. Your dad wants to help him so he lend his Zigzagoon to Wally and give a Pokemon. Wally will drag you to Route 102 and watch him catch Raltz. Once he catch Raltz he will drag you again to the gym and give back Zigzagoon to you father. He'll thank your father and leave. Your Dad will tell you that in order to fight him you need to get 4 badges from the trainers. So, he'll suggest you to go to Rostboro City GYM and fight Roxanne and get the STONE BADGE. So, head out of the gym and go west and you should be in Route 104 --------- Route 104 --------- Pokemon: Treecko LVL 10, Wurmple LVL 5, Wingull LVL 6 Once you are in Route 104, go west and go all the way to the north. You should see a Tree with berries on it. Get it and head west and you will find a trainer. Fight him. Trainer: Richboy Winston Pokemon Used: Zigzagoon LVL 6 Strategies: Just use normal attack on him and don't forget to use you other pokemon cause it will level up too. After you beat him, go North and you will be in Petalburg Woods. --------------- Petalburg Woods --------------- Pokemon: Treecko LVL 11, Wurmple LVL 6, Wingull LVL 6 Treecko LVL 11 learns QUICK ATTACK Be careful on this place because there are certain trainers in it. Be sure that your well prepared. In this place you will meet your enemy. So, head west once you entered the woods and you'll fight another Trainer again. Trainer: Bugcatcher Lyle Pokemon Used: Wurmple LVL 3 (6x) Strategies: Use Wingull on Wurmple. All of his pokemon are Wurmple so It's easily to beat him. Just use normal attacks on him and you will beat him in no time. Find your way to the exit once you defeated the trainer. The exit is all the way to the north. DOn't worry it's not hard to find it. On your way to the north, you will see a guy looking for pokemon. Once he finished discussing about the pokemon, a mysterious gang will appear and an event will happen. "Prepare for trouble to make it double, To unite our world within our nation... Meowth.. Meowth that's right!" Wait, is this TEAM ROCKET? Sorry, TEAM ROCKET is not in the game. So the mysterious gang is the TEAM MAGMA (Too bad, Jesse and James is no longer your enemy.) The Team Magma want's something to the guy that you've talked to. So the guy will tell you to fight him. So, Fight HIM... Trainer: Team Magma Grunt Pokemon Used: Poochyena LVL 9 Strategies: Poochyena is a little bit hard if your pokemon's level is below 10. I will suggest if you use Treecko use QUICK ATTACK. Be careful on his attack because it will use SAND-ATTACK that makes your POKEMON's accuracy fell. Once you beat him, YOU WIN... After you beat that Grunt, he'll say that "We'll meet again in Rostboro City" and he'll leave. After he leave, the guy will thank you and give you Great Ball to show his gratitude. Now, he'll go follow the Team Magma in Rostboro City because they plan something evil like TEAM ROCKET. Once that event happens, go north and you will find another trainer. FIGHT HIM!!

Pokemon: Treecko LVL 10, Wurmple LVL 10</p>


 Be sure to go first to Pokemon Center because I'm sure your
Pokemon are tired and injured. After healing your Pokemon,
go to Pokemart to purchase Potion because you will fight a GYM
leader in these city. Go North and you should find a GYM. Go
inside and you will see a GUY standing in front of the door.
Talk to him and you will learn that he's your father. Once you
talk to him, somebody will barge in. His name is Wally.
Wally is from Verdantrof City. He came to Petalburg because
he's on a vacation and want to catch a Pokemon. He wants to get
pokemon from your dad. Your dad wants to help him so he lend
his Zigzagoon to Wally and give a Pokemon. Wally will drag you
to Route 102 and watch him catch Raltz. Once he catch Raltz
he will drag you again to the gym and give back Zigzagoon to
you father. He'll thank your father and leave. Your Dad will tell
you that in order to fight him you need to get 4 badges from the
trainers. So, he'll suggest you to go to Rostboro City GYM and
fight Roxanne and get the STONE BADGE. So, head out of the gym
and go west and you should be in Route 104</p>


---------
Route 104
---------
Pokemon: Treecko LVL 10, Wurmple LVL 5, Wingull LVL 6</p>


 Once you are in Route 104, go west and go all the way to the north. You
should see a Tree with berries on it. Get it and head west and you will
find a trainer. Fight him.</p>

Trainer: Richboy Winston
Pokemon Used: Zigzagoon LVL 6</p>

Strategies: Just use normal attack on him and don't forget to use
you other pokemon cause it will level up too. </p>

 After you beat him, go North and you will be in Petalburg Woods.</p>

---------------
Petalburg Woods
---------------
Pokemon: Treecko LVL 11, Wurmple LVL 6, Wingull LVL 6
  Treecko LVL 11 learns QUICK ATTACK</p>


 Be careful on this place because there are certain trainers in it. Be sure
that your well prepared. In this place you will meet your enemy. So, head
west once you entered the woods and you'll fight another Trainer again.</p>


Trainer: Bugcatcher Lyle
Pokemon Used: Wurmple LVL 3 (6x)
Strategies: Use Wingull on Wurmple. All of his pokemon are Wurmple so It's
easily to beat him. Just use normal attacks on him and you will beat him
in no time.</p>


 Find your way to the exit once you defeated the trainer. The exit is all the
way to the north. DOn't worry it's not hard to find it. On your way to the
north, you will see a guy looking for pokemon. Once he finished discussing
about the pokemon, a mysterious gang will appear and an event will happen.</p>

"Prepare for trouble to make it double, To unite our world within our nation...
Meowth.. Meowth that's right!" Wait, is this TEAM ROCKET? Sorry, TEAM ROCKET
is not in the game.</p>

So the mysterious gang is the TEAM MAGMA (Too bad, Jesse and James
is no longer your enemy.) The Team Magma want's something to the guy
that you've talked to. So the guy will tell you to fight him. So,
Fight HIM...</p>


Trainer: Team Magma Grunt
Pokemon Used: Poochyena LVL 9
Strategies: Poochyena is a little bit hard if your pokemon's level is
 below 10. I will suggest if you use Treecko use QUICK ATTACK. Be careful
 on his attack because it will use SAND-ATTACK that makes your POKEMON's
 accuracy fell. Once you beat him, YOU WIN...</p>

After you beat that Grunt, he'll say that "We'll meet again in Rostboro
City" and he'll leave. After he leave, the guy will thank you and give you
Great Ball to show his gratitude. Now, he'll go follow the Team Magma in
Rostboro City because they plan something evil like TEAM ROCKET.
Once that event happens, go north and you will find another trainer. FIGHT
HIM!!</p>


Trainer: Bugcatcher James
Pokemon Used: Nincader LVL 8
Strategies: This battle is a little bit to hard because he pokemon always
use HARDEN in which makes his POKEMOn increase its defense. Just use normal
attack on him and you'll beat him</p>
