Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Petalburg Woods

Petalburg Woods is the main woods of Hoenn.

Head north to find the first trainer on the route.

North of Lyle is a Paralyz Heal. Grab it and move on. As you encounter a Devon Researcher, he asks you if you've seen a Shroomish. As you're talking, a Team Grunt (Team Magma if playing Ruby, and Team Aqua if playing Sapphire or Emerald) appears and asks him to hand over some papers. The Researcher hides behind you, and you'll have to battle the Grunt.
