From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Route 104 (Japanese: 104ばんどうろ Route 104) is a route in west Hoenn, connecting Petalburg City, Rustboro City, and Route 105. The route is divided into two halves by Petalburg Woods.
Route description
Route 104 in Ruby and Sapphire
Traveling south from Rustboro, the beaten path of the route swerves to the east for a short distance before turning south toward a bridge traversing a pond. On the north side of the pond, there is a patch of soft soil that sprouts Cheri and Leppa Berry trees, with space for another. Near the patch, an old woman gives out a Chesto Berry and reminds Trainers of the regenerating ability of Berries. Also, to the west of the patch, a Fisherman is standing by the shore of the pond waiting for a battle.
On the bridge, which runs south for half the length of the pond, turns east, then returns south and connects with the opposite bank, the first set of Double Battle Trainers that one encounters in Hoenn, Twins Gina and Mia, await to challenge Trainers that cross their path. Gina and Mia will not challenge if the Trainer only has one Pokémon.
Directly east of the bridge is the Pretty Petal Flower Shop. In this shop, there are plants available for purchase. These plants are for decorating the interior of a Secret Base. Also, the Wailmer Pail can be obtained by speaking to the owner of the shop.
The path resumes, going south off the bridge then turning west; here Lass Haley stands waiting for Trainers. To her east is a cut-able tree that blocks the way to a Dire HitE or an X AccuracyRS. Down the path west of Haley, is another Trainer eager for battle, Lady CindyRS or Rich Boy WinstonE. Continuing past a Trainer Tip, the pathway reaches a junction. To the south is the entrance to Petalburg Woods. To the northwest is the Pretty Petal Flower Shop, another soft patch containing Oran and Cheri Berries, as well as a guy who carries TM09 (Bullet Seed). Farther north, behind the flower shop, lies a sporadic patch of grass with wild Pokémon. A Potion, Super Potion, and Poké Ball can be found hidden in bare spots.
Two openings emerge from the south end of Petalburg Woods. The west opening, which is the main entrance and exit, comes out to a path where either Rich Boy WinstonRS or Lady CindyE is standing. The pathway, shrouded by grass here, turns east for a lengthy distance until it reaches a soft soil patch where Oran and Pecha Berries are growing, and the path promptly turns and continues south. The eastern opening leads to a ledge which runs parallel to the pathway at this point. A Poké Ball can be found near the edge of this ledge.
The pathway keeps south, past the cottage of Mr. Briney, then ends as it approaches a large patch of grass. Past the grass the path picks up again, going southeast shortly and finally meets the west entrance to Petalburg City. Two sets of short stairways, one southwest of the entrance, the other just outside Mr. Briney's cottage, lead down to a beach marking the southwest edge of the land, and the route takes to sea, down Route 105, and south towards Dewford. On the beach itself, a Youngster named Billy paces around repeatedly in a square, looking for a battle. Several hidden items can also be found scattered around. The beach provides a convenient bypass to going through the grass patch.
In the game, following the early storyline, the main character is forced to take Route 104 the other way round first, traversing from Petalburg up through the Woods towards Rustboro, since the water passage blocks the way on Route 103.

The northern half of Route 104 first appears in the anime in Taming of the Shroomish. Rinshin Town is located right after Petalburg Woods. After Rinshin Town is another unnamed town, which houses an unofficial gym (You Said a Mouthful!). Past the town is a forested Pokémon Reserve (A Bite to Remember). The Pretty Petal Flower Shop is located after the Pokémon Reserve (The Lotad Lowdown). Past the Flower Shop is the Rustboro City Contest Hall, which is located outside Rustboro City (All Things Bright and Beautifly!). A forested path connects the Contest Hall to Rustboro City. This is also where May and Jessie caught their Wurmple (All in a Day's Wurmple).
