Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire - Strategy Guide (Page 04)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire - Strategy Guide (Page 04).

Heal, if needed be, then enter the 5th gym. Now that you have 4 badges, your 
father will 
let you get through. The gym is shaped a bit like a diamond, so you can fight 
from 3-7 
junior trainers. Here's how you should do it to get the most EXP. It looks 
something like 
this:

|---|---|---|
|   | G |   |
| |--D|D--| |
| | 3 | 3 | |
|--D|D-D|D--|
| 2 | 2 | 2 |
|-|D|D|D|D|-|
| | 1 | 1 | |
| |-|D|D|-| |
|   |   |   |
|---|-E-|---|

1 = Trainers with one Level 27 Skittyroro (798 EXP, 1296G)
2 = Trainers with one Level 27 Linoone (739 EXP, 1296G)
3 = Trainers with one Level 27 Zangoose (954 EXP, 1296G)
4 = Gym Leader
D = Door
E = Entrance

You can go any way you like to fight all 7 trainers, but here's how I did it:

Talk to the left door, then it opens and you get in. Talk to the junior 
trainer and battle!

Junior Trainer 1
Level 27 Skittyroro (798 EXP)
You get: 1296G

Advance through left door and talk to Junior Trainer 2.

Junior Trainer 2
Level 27 Linoone (739 EXP)
You get: 1296G

Advance through right door (and only door) to Junior Trainer 3.

Junior Trainer 3
Level 27 Zangoose (954 EXP)
You get: 1296G

Go back to Junior Trainer 1 now and go through the right door instead of the 
left one to
Junior Trainer 4.

Junior Trainer 4
Level 27 Linoone (739 EXP)
You get: 1296G

Go through right door to Junior Trainer 5.

Junior Trainer 5
Level 27 Zangoose (954 EXP)
You get: 1296G

Go back through the previous door, then through that one back to the 
entrance. Now go 
through the right door to Junior Trainer 6.

Junior Trainer 6
Level 27 Skittyroro (798 EXP)
You get: 1296G

Go through the right door and you will see Junior Trainer 7.

Junior Trainer 7
Level 27 Linoone (739 EXP)
You get: 1296G

Enter through the door to Junior Trainer 5, then through the next door to 
your father, 
the fifth gym leader. Talk to him. He asks you if you have 4 badges already, 
and then
says that you certainly are improving, but says that he can't give you the 
5th badge for
free, and battles you.

|-----------------------------------|
|Gym Leader Name: Norman            |
|Gym Leader Type: Normal            |
|Level 28 Slaking (1260 EXP)        |

|You get: 3100G, Balance Badge, TM42|
|-----------------------------------|

Graveler and my Level 43 Torchic's final form both work well against your 
father's Pokemon. 
After you win, you now have 5 badges! Now go get out of the gym and get HM03 
Surf from the 
red-shirted man west of the gym, who is Wally's father. You can use Surf on 
Zigzagoon, the 
raccoon, by catching it at Levels 3-5 (they can be catchable without hitting 
them if you use 
a Great Ball, and if you're lucky, even a PokeBall) if you don't have a water 
type. Before 
you get out of the city, however, just before the entrance to Route 104 is 
water. Surf 
across it for a free item. Now go to the water east of the gym and surf 
across for another 
item. Surf back and at this point you will want to go west onto Route 104.

|---------|
|Route 104|
|---------|

Go as far northwest onto the beach as you can, and then use Surf southward 
onto Sea Route 
104.

heal, then
continue across the bridge, then north up the stairway and your rival will 
rush toward you 
on his/her bike. Brendan/May will now challenge you to a battle. That's why 
you needed to 
heal first, and since you went through so many trainer battles, you would 
have ran out of 
PP/HP/Pokemon, depending on your lineup. Ready? Battle him/her! Depending on 
your starting 
type, you will face different enemies. Here's the list:

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
