Meteor Falls (Japanese: りゅうせいのたき Meteor Waterfall) is a large cave west of Fallarbor Town with a waterfall inside, packed full of craters from the Meteors that fell here (who could've guessed?).

Another encounter with the Teams

As you enter and go down the path, you'll find Professor Cozmo, who we talked about before. He'll be surrounded by a bunch of Grunts from either Team Aqua or Magma, depending on which version your playing, along with the corresponding Team Leader. After an encounter with the other team showing up, the antagonistic team will run off with a Meteorite, to the top of Mt. Chimney. The second team will give chase, and Cozmo will thank you for saving him. From here, you can continue through the rest of the cave to the top of Route 115 (connecting to Rustboro City), or turn back and move forward to Mt. Chimney (accessible via the cable car on Route 112). Professor Cozmo will return to his home in Fallarbor Town.

Return Visits

Come back after defeating all 8 Gyms to access the rest of the Falls with Surf and Dive. There'll be multiple new rooms to explore, more trainers to fight, and a new pokémon to catch: Bagon.

Everyone Loves Secret Bosses

In Pokémon Emerald, Steven also makes an appearance here. His Pokémon's strength surpass even that of the Champion's, and he acts as a sort of secret final boss in the game. The only requirement to battle him is to have the necessary HMs to reach him, and to have become the Champion of Hoenn Pokémon League by defeating the Elite Four. And all of his Pokémon are incredibly tanky. Oh, and he also has 4 full restores. Expect a long battle.

Skarmory

How the heck can this thing fly!?

Skarmory is Steven's first Pokémon, and has the second highest level of them all at 77. It's typings are Steel and Flying, which limits the number of effective moves seriously. It's ability is Keen Eye, which prevents loss of accuracy.

Return after obtaining Waterfall HM

Go up the Waterfall in the first room, surf, land and enter Room 2. Walk up and right to a ladder and go down to Room 3. Go down to a ladder and go down it. Back in the 1st room, you get an item. Go back to Room 3 but now go left. Go all the way up and down the ladder, back to Room 2.

Go right. There is a couple for a battle. Then go past and up by four steps. Go right and battle a boy. Below are slopes. Start jumping down, keeping left and take their left fork. After 6 slopes, walk left (Avoid slope 7 or you’ll be back to start} and go down the ladder back to Room 3.

Go down, then right. Surf right and up and land. Enter Room 4. This is a dead end, but there is TM02 Dragon Claw. There isn't anything else to this room except for Bagon.

Exit and use Surf, keep to the right and it will end in another doorway. This contains a PP Up in this area.
