Route 103 (Japanese: １０３ばんどうろ Route 103) is a route in western Hoenn, connecting Route 110 and Oldale Town.

Route description

Eastern side

Heading west from Route 110, Route 103 passes an opening in a forest blocked by a cut-able tree that leads to a pair of items and a soft soil patch containing two varieties of Berries. Just west of the passage is the first Trainer on the route. Continuing west on the path, Route 103 leads into the path of three more Trainers, two of which partake in a Double Battle, before turning northeast and opening up on the east side of a river.

The river itself contains an assortment of wild Pokémon and, in Pokémon Emerald, two Swimmers looking to do battle. The path that Route 103 takes across the water body is directly east-west, allowing Trainers to quickly traverse the channel.

In Pokémon Emerald, the forest is slightly larger, contains an extra item and is home to two Trainers.

After the Elite Four is defeated in Emerald, Altering Cave can be accessed on the bank of the water.

Western side

On the west side of the river are three patches of grass containing more wild Pokémon. The route, from the east, avoids these patches, heading west from the river bank before hopping a ledge west of a grass patch and traveling south into Oldale. From Oldale, it is necessary to travel through a patch of grass to circumvent the ledge and reach the river.

Due to the route's location, it has become a popular training spot for Trainers, especially the Rival from Littleroot, who is first seen and battled here.
