Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Route 104 (North)

Northern area of Route 104

When you get out of Petalburg Woods, you will end up in Route 104 again, there are 4 trainers on this route. You will also encounter your first double-battle in the game.

The Pretty Petal Flower Shop is a useful place in the game. The first time you visit, you can get a Wailmer Pail you can use to help grow more berries on the trees you plant! and later on in the game it is a good place to get furniture for your Secret Base, there is also a girl who will give you a random berry, there so it is useful to stop by every day.

Trainers

It would be great knowledge to know that on this trip fighting Lady Cindy or Rich Boy Winston will give you a 1,400 reward for an easy battle. You can battle their Level 7 Zigzagoon, which an average Pokémon of level 7 or a few at the average level of 6 will easily take down. Use a strong attack such as Double Kick that can be found at Level 16 when Torchic evolves into Combusken, or, if you didn't take Torchic as your starter, Treeko's Absorb or Mudkip's Water Gun would take this Pokémon out before you know it.
