The full walkthrough text
Route 111 (North), Route 113, and Fallarbor Town form a path through volcanic ash leading to key move tutors, battle facilities, and the search for Professor Cozmo.
1. Clearing Route 111 North
After emerging from Route 112 North, turn east to Route 111 North and talk to the man beside the notched tree to get TM43 (Secret Power). Head down to the sandy dead end near the desert barrier to locate a hidden Elixir, then battle Cooltrainer Brooke, Cooltrainer Wilton, and Youngster Neal. Pick two Razz Berries and two Oran Berries from the soft soil beside the Old Lady's Rest Stop before heading up the dirt track toward the ash fields.
Tip: Use Flying or Fire moves against Cooltrainer Brooke's Roselia and Ground attacks against Cooltrainer Wilton's Electrike.
2. Collecting Ash on Route 113
Turn west onto Route 113 and make your way across the ash-covered grass and mounds, battling Ninja Boy Lao, Ninja Boy Lung, and Parasol Lady Madeline along the way. Enter the Glass Workshop near the route's midpoint to obtain the Soot Sack from the artisan so your steps in the ash begin accumulating. You can later redeem these steps with the glass blower for a Blue Flute (250 steps), Yellow Flute (500 steps), Red Flute (500 steps), White Flute (1,000 steps), Black Flute (1,000 steps), Pretty Chair (6,000 steps), or Pretty Desk (8,000 steps).
Tip: Psychic moves quickly dispose of Ninja Boy Lao's Koffing before they can use Poison Gas or Self-Destruct, while Water moves deal quadruple damage to Parasol Lady Madeline's Numel.
3. Scouring the Ash Piles of Route 113
Continue west toward Fallarbor Town, navigating the southern ledges to pick up TM32 (Double Team) on a high ledge and grab the exposed Max Ether from a dirt ledge. Search the ash mounds across the path to dig out a hidden Super Repel in the middle sector, a hidden Nugget near Youngster Jaylen, and a hidden Hyper Potion in an ash pile near the western exit.
Tip: Inspect every mound of ash as you traverse the route to reveal concealed items.
4. Touring Fallarbor Town
Enter Fallarbor Town from Route 113 and stop by the Pokémon Center to meet Lanette, who updates your PC storage system to "Lanette's PC" and invites you to Route 114. In the northwest house, visit the Move Relearner (the Move Maniac) who will re-teach any forgotten level-up move in exchange for one Heart Scale, then accept the Metronome tutor's offer outside near the PokéMart for a free one-time lesson. Check the center of the meteorite crater situated west of Professor Cozmo's house to collect a hidden Nugget, and visit the Fallarbor Battle Tent to encounter Scott.
5. Investigating Cozmo's Lab
Step into Professor Cozmo's lab on the south side of town to speak with Cozmo's distressed wife, who reveals that Team Magma has kidnapped the professor and taken him toward Meteor Falls. Once you pursue the villains to Mt. Chimney and retrieve the Meteorite, return here to hand it over to Professor Cozmo in exchange for TM27 (Return).
The short version
What matters
- Visiting the Move Maniac in the northwest house to relearn forgotten level-up moves using Heart Scales.
- Grabbing the Soot Sack from the Route 113 Glass Workshop so walking in ash fields earns valuable flutes and furniture.
- Learning the one-time Metronome move from the tutor near the Fallarbor Town PokéMart.
Common mistakes
- Agreeing repeatedly to rest at the Old Lady's Rest Stop on Route 111, which locks you in a loop until you select "No".
- Forgetting to collect the hidden Nuggets from the ash mound near Youngster Jaylen on Route 113 and the crater west of Cozmo's house.
