Route 32

File:Route 32.png

Route 32

The Berry tree at the route's northern end holds a PRZCureBerry. Trainers on their way to Azalea Town may be interested in exploring the Ruins of Alph to the west, but without HM03 (Surf) and HM04 (Strength), only the first room is accessible.

Ruins of Alph

Since you can't surf to across the southern pond yet, the only cave you can reach is in the north. Read the hint to the right of the puzzle picture to find out what Pokémon it is, and move the pieces into place. When you complete the puzzle, the floor beneath you will give way, dropping you into the main underground ruins. With the first puzzle complete, you can now find Unown in the form of the first eleven letters of the alphabet, A through K. If you catch at least three different forms, one of the scientists investigating the ruins will be waiting for you near the exit. He'll take you to the research building and upgrade your Pokédex so that it can record the various forms of the Unown.

Later...

Come back after obtaining Surf, because not only are you able to solve the remaing puzzles to find the rest of the Unknown, but also some wild Pokémon around the area. This is notably the only place to find a Smeargle and Natu.

Talk to the first guy you see and you'll get a Miracle Seed, a held item that enhances Grass-type moves, as a souvenir for defeating the Violet Gym. Not far from him is another man that will give you TM05 (Roar), but you cannot reach him until you can hack your way through the trees. There's a Potion sitting in the tall grass by Picnicker Liz. Near the center of the route the path opens to a small inlet, forcing Trainers to either follow the western shoreline, or take the pier over the water. Whichever way you go, don't pass up the Great Ball on the shore!

The two paths converge again, meeting up just ahead of the Poké Center. Like Route 4 in Kanto, this route also has an opportunity to rest your team before tackling the nearby cave. Before you can reach it, you are stopped by a shady man and offered a "tasy, nutritious SLOWPOKETAIL" for $1,000,000. An obvious scam, but Slowpoke tails for sale?! Team Rocket must be getting desperate. Check out the tree-lined path behind the Poké Center, and you'll find a hidden Great Ball. Talk to the fisherman inside the building, and he'll give you the Old Rod; with this you can reel in some Magikarp and Tentacool. Rest up, and when your team's ready, enter the Union Cave.

Later...

Return to the Poké Center on a Friday, and Freida, one of the Weekday Siblings, will be waiting behind the building. She will give you a Poison Barb, which enhances Poison-type moves when held by a Pokémon.

Union Cave

Head west from the entrance to find a Potion and a Trainer. Battle the next two Trainers, and pick up the Great Ball south of the Firebreather. Grab the X Attack, and continue south. If you take the stairs down past the PokéManiac, you can find an X Defend and TM39 (Swift). There is an Awakening just before the exit, and another Firebreather loitering around.
Stepping out of the cave puts you on Route 33.

Return to Union Cave once you can surf, and have a better fishing rod. You'll be able to find Pokémon like Krabby, Staryu, Quagsire, and Corsola.
On the bottom floor, you'll also have the chance to catch a wild Lapras every Friday.

Route 33 is extremely short, and connects Union Cave to Azalea Town in the west. Pick the PSNCureBerry from the tree, and battle the Hiker nearby. Head into town.

Azalea Town

Azalea Town

Something's going on in Azalea, and the Rocket grunt hanging around near the Slowpoke Well can't be up to anything good. Stop by the Apricorn craftsman's house north of the Gym, and he'll rush off to save the Slowpoke being held in the well.

Follow Kurt inside, and you'll find him injured at the foot of the stairs. It looks like it's up to you to teach these Rockets a lesson! Battle your way to the northwest area of the well.

After Team Rocket leaves Kurt walks up and thanks you. The two of you return to his house. As a token of thanks, Kurt gives you a Lure Ball, a kind of Poké Ball that he builds using different Apricorn varieties. From this point on, you can bring him an Apricorn once a day, and he'll make you a custom Ball. Apricorns come in seven different colors, each perfect for a specific attribute of Poké Ball:

Apricorn		Ball		Effect
	Blk Apricorn		Heavy Ball	Works better on heavier Pokémon
	Blu Apricorn		Lure Ball	Works better on Pokémon hooked with a fishing rod
	Grn Apricorn		Friend Ball	Makes a caught Pokémon friendlier
	Pnk Apricorn		Love Ball	Works better on opposite-gender Pokémon
	Red Apricorn		Level Ball	Works better on Pokémon that are lower-leveled than yours
	Ylw Apricorn		Moon Ball	Works better on Pokémon that evolve with a Moon Stone
	Wht Apricorn		Fast Ball	Works better on Pokémon that are likely to flee from battle

Now let's go get that second badge!
