Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Route 120

Route 120

Gaining Access to Fortree Gym

First and foremost, walk past the trainers and tall grass to the wooden bridge, where Steven is. He will use his Devon Scope to reveal a wild Kecleon which immediately attacks. This is a good time to catch one if you haven't already, but don't worry if you don't catch it - they can be found in tall grass on this route (though they are admittedly rare). After the battle ends, he gives the Devon Scope, which will allow you to scare off the Kecleon blocking access to Fortree City's Gym.

After Fortree

Upon returning to the area, if you keep to the north, you'll find the interviewers again (see the trainers section for their Pokémon). Additionally, in the westernmost section of the first patch of tall grass, you can find some steps leading down to the lake. However, they are blocked by one of the six hidden Kecleon on this route. After defeating the Kecleon, surfing to the southernmost section of the pond will lead to the entrance to Scorched Slab.

Continuing down the path will eventually lead you through a puddle-filled part of the route with a few trainers, and to the grass maze. The player has two options here: walk straight through the grass and skip most of the trainers (but run the risk of encountering wild Pokémon); or go through the maze properly and skip most Pokémon encounters (but run the risk of battling the trainers).

Either way, the maze has to be traversed to continue down the route. After the maze, there will be two ledges that regulate traffic to and from the maze, and funnel any southward travellers east of the nearby pond. From there, there will be a second bridge to cross. Travelling further south will lead to a fork in the road.

The west fork leads to an elevated path, and multiple soft soil patches (this makes the route an ideal place for farming berries). Near the first set of patches, there will be a lady; talking to her will reward you with rare berries, so make sure to come back frequently. At the very end is a rock formation that looks strangely familiar to one you saw in the Desert (see Capturing the Regis for more details). The east fork leads to the end of the route, and Route 121.
