Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Route 111

Route 111 is the path between ../Mauville City/ and both ../Lavaridge Town/ and ../Fallarbor Town/. The route is blocked by rocks, requiring Rock Smash to proceed. In addition, there is a desert with a raging sandstorm, preventing you from passing through (and diverting you to ../Route 112/).

Use the Go-Goggles (obtained after beating the Lavaridge Gym leader) to explore the desert of Route 111. In the northeast corner of the desert is a pair of fossils. Grab one of them (the other will sink). Take it to the Devon Corp. and the researcher will determine it is a Pokémon. The researcher needs time to revive the Pokémon, which is just a quick trip to the lower floor. The Root Fossil turns into a, while the Claw Fossil turns into an. These two Pokémon can only be otherwise obtained by trade or breeding.

Mirage Tower
In Pokémon Emerald, you may have found a strange tower here at times, and you probably have realized that the fossils in the place where they should be in Ruby and Sapphire are not there! Well, make sure to grab a mach bike and go into this strange tower. Get to the top, and you can finally choose the fossil you get. In Emerald, you can find the other fossil later in the game. The tower appears occasionally when entering or leaving Route 111. If you leave the tower without finding a fossil, the tower will no longer appear, but visiting the Fossil Maniac on Route 114 will trigger the tower's appearance cycle again.

Winstrate Contest
Just outside of Mauville is a family that hold a small contest. Defeat four trainers in a row:

At the end of the gauntlet, you can enter, and speak with the family.
