Petalburg City

Pokémon Emerald guide · Visiting the player's father

Petalburg City is home to the Petalburg Gym, where the player's father, Norman, serves as the Gym Leader. Upon visiting the Gym early in the game, Norman directs you to earn four Gym Badges across Hoenn before challenging him, and he introduces you to Wally. After helping Wally catch his first Pokémon, the player continues west toward Route 104.
