what to do after gaining the fourth(fire) badge in pokemon emerald?

Now, you have to go south to Slateport City, now we can use the Cycle Roadinstead of walking thru the grass route with unwanted weak wild pokemon. Inthe Cycle Road, there isnt any tough trainers, as we were supposed to be herebefore, so most pokemon here are around levels 14-16. Make your weakest pokemon battle them. When you finally reach Slateport City, go south to Route 109, youwill see Mr. Briney still waiting for you to take you to Petalburg City, wellactually near it. >_> You will be on Route 104, so just walk south across the grass and to enter Petalburg City! The gym here isnt a puzzle, but how you deal with status changes likehigh accuracy, critical attack, speed etc. You get to choose two rooms, alllead to Norman, now I’ll make a way for those who choose the left rooms, andthose who choose the right rooms. Left Room Gym Trainers || || Trainer 1 : (Single Battle) Pokemon : Level 26 Swellow || Trainer 2 : (Single Battle) Pokemon : Level 26 Spinda || Trainer 3 : (Single Battle) Pokemon : Level 26 Zangoose (Knock Out) || Right Room Gym Trainers || || Trainer 4 : (Single Battle) Pokemon : Level 26 Wigglytuff || Trainer 5 : (Single Battle) Pokemon : Level 26 Delcatty || Trainer 6 : (Single Battle) Pokemon : Level 26 Slakoth (Knock Out) || Trainer 7 : (Gym Leader Battle) Pokemon : Level 27 Spinda, Level 27 Slakoth|| Level 29 Linoone, & Level 31 Slaking As you see, you can choose a side, you can also battle them all, last room in each side is a Knock Out Room, where one hit can do greta damage. Lowering their accuracy is a good idea, or good defense or just knocking themout quickly. Machop can make this gym easy, without him its gonna be tough. The gym leader has different pokemon from the last games, but its stillas hard as the last time. Spinda should be easy, just try to finish him before he lowers your HP alot, as HP is very important here. Slakoth is somewhat as annoying as Slaking, try to lower his accuracy and hit him with strongattacks before he can recieve a potion which will make it hard for you. Linoone is the same as Spinda, just try to finish him off quickly, then comesSlaking, one of the toughest pokemon you will meet. He has an excellent HP andstats similiar to legedenaries. The best way to beat him is to lower his accuracy, I used Marshtomp’s Mud Slap which did the job perfectly. When you lower his HP to the lowest, change your pokemon to a good attacking pokemon. At the beginning I used Numel’s Magnitude, which was pretty good. But whenSlaking’s HP reached the red area, the super potion appeared! So I decided touse my Mightyena, I began with Rock Smash, yes its base attack is 20, but itsaffective, and lowers defense. I kept using it till the yellowish area. I thenknocked him out with a Bite. Mainly, using strong attacks on Spinda and Linooneto finish them without affecting most of your HP, and lowering Slakoth andSlaking’s accuracy with the help that they only attack a turn, and the nextthey dont, and then finishing them with a strong attack to avoid them usingSuper Potions. When you beat him, he will give you the badge and a TM, then Wally’sfather will take you to his house, and give you HM-03 Surf. The best attackingHM move. This is a must to any water pokemon. Good accuracy, good PP, andexcellent base attack. He will also thank you for helping Wally. Now that youhave surf, you can go over waters, now we have to cross the path of water onthe east of Mauvile. But we also have another path, a long one filled with

many trainers, and an abandoned ship…
