Route 109 (Japanese: １０９番水道 Water Route 109) is a partial water route in southern Hoenn, connecting Route 108 and Slateport City. Mr. Briney will ferry the player here only after the player delivers the Letter to Steven in Granite Cave.

In the games

Route description

The main feature of the route is Slateport Beach, located on the shore of Slateport, where there are many Trainers for the player to face. Once the player has Surf, they can travel the water as wanted, encountering Pokémon native to Hoenn's seas and Trainers. Along the aquatic part of the route, there are a few small islands, with more Trainers to face than on the beach. Unlike other water routes, Swimmers are not very common here.

The southern portion of the route runs east–west to match the alignment of Route 108.

Seashore House

On the beach area of the route is a small house, the Seashore House, that offers the challenge of battling all the Trainers in the building. The prize is six cans of Soda Pop. After defeating all the Trainers, Soda Pop is also available to buy for $300, though only one can be purchased at a time.

The Seashore House's sign:

"Seashore House"

"May hot battles rage on hot sands! The place for hot Trainers!" ^ORAS

Soda Pop $300
