Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Oldale Town

You've come passing through here before on your way to meet your rival. There still isn't much to do here. Now that you have received your first set of Poké Balls, you can buy them from the Poké Mart in town. Buy 10 Poké Balls and you'll receive a Premier Ball for free! The Premier Ball has the same catch rate as a regular Poké Ball, but it looks nicer.

If you speak to man in the first house on the right as you enter Oldale, he will give you a free Potion. Also, don't forget to replenish your Pokémon's hit points at the Poké Center, especially if you damaged a Pokémon that you then caught. You can head north back to Route 103 where you fought your Rival and attempt to catch a. Otherwise, that direction is a dead end. When you're ready, you can now head into Route 102 which was originally blocked by a man studying a rare Pokémon's footprints.
