Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Walkthrough/Petalburg Area

Route 102

Petalburg City

edit

Go to the gym, and talk to the person there. This person is your father. While you talk to him, someone else comes in and asks for a Pokémon. This person is Wally, the kid from next door. Your father lends him a Zigzagoon, and sends you with Wally. Wally catches a Ralts, and then returns with you to the gym.
