Checked my daily Mirage Spot and caught a Persian on it. That was virtually all there was to it that I didn't have before, so I left afterwards. Continued by exploring Mauville again, but found nothing of interest except for two things. First Winona who was standing high up on a tower. I wonder what in the world she was doing? Then I also met Wattson in the center of the city. He wanted me to meet him at his apartment in Mauville Hills. I went up there and met him. He asked me to go to New Mauville to check things there. So I did.
Went there, battled several Voltorb, caught a Magnemite and found some items. Including an Ampharosite, which was rather cool. I had expected to find something like that here, and I was right. I also checked the main computer like Wattson had asked me to. Went back to him in Mauville Hills and he gave me a TM for Thunderbolt as thanks. I explored the rest of Mauville Hills now that I could. Received a Lopunnite from a man which was really great. I also got to watch a strange event where the five weirdoes from the Pokemon Center transformed a young man into Mr. Bonding. He gave me the Hatching Power level 1, the last O-Power I needed, so I now have all of them. He then left on a journey.
Before leaving Mauville, I did one last thing. Switched my bike from Mach to Acro as I would need the Acro Bike to explore new areas. I never felt that the Mach Bike was that fast in this game but now that I have the Acro Bike and can compare them, the difference is rather huge. Went north to Route 111, explored it again. Except for the upper parts which I couldn't get to now that I didn't have the Mach Bike anymore. Anyway, I found and caught Sandile, Gible and Dwebble in the desert. Continued to Route 112 where I caught Ponyta, Tyrogue and Throh. Then I went up to Mt. Chimney and explored it but found nothing of interest there. Went down to Jagged Pass instead. Found a few more items here that I could pick up now that I have the Acro Bike. Including a Tyranitarite, which is great. Also caught Mankey and Spoink as well as battled a Fairy Tale Girl I somehow hadn't battled before. Not sure if I managed to find all items this time around either though, might come back one final time later on once I have both bikes.
Left and went to Lavaridge. Found a Houndoominite here, randomly laying among the old-timers outside of the old springs. Also received another Egg from the old lady outside of the hot springs. Decided to hatch this egg so I withdrew my Slugma and started biking around. Noticed that it was going far too slow with the Acro Bike so I went down to Mauville and switched back to Mach again. This also allowed me to re-explore the upper parts of Route 111 but I found nothing new there. Decided to use the Hatching O-Power to speed up the hatching process now that I could use it. Continued biking around with the Egg, using O-Powers when needed, and after what felt like a long while, the egg finally hatched. Into a Togepi.
Continued out to Route 113 where I caught Scraggy, Klefki and Bouffalant. Entered Fallarbor where I obtained the Galladite from Professor Cozmo. Really neat. Continued out to Route 114, bought the Sceptilite and Blazikenite from an old man who was selling those cheaply, as well as several Hard Stones for higher prices. Now that I had Waterfall, I could Surf up the Waterfall here. Did so and found a Rare Candy. Went back down and caught a Misdreavus and a Skorupi in the grass. Entered Meteor Falls but didn't explore it as I already did so during the Delta Episode, and I caught all the exclusive Pokemon here then as well. However, I did receive a Salamencite from Zinnia's grandmother, which was great.
Left Meteor Falls and went out to Route 115. Had already caught all of the DexNav exclusive Pokemon here as well thanks to them being available on other routes, so I didn't have to look for them here. I still explored the route, but found nothing of interest. Then I continued down to Rustoboro and went out to Route 116 where I caught a Joltik. Entered the Rusturf Tunnel and picked up an Exploudite. Not. Would have been cool though. Found the secret part of Route 116 and explored it as well but there was nothing here either. Exited the tunnel and found myself in Verdanturf. Spoke to some people here, including Wanda, who gave me a Gardevoirite. The only Mega Stones I have mixed feelings about as Gardevoir is my least favorite Pokemon and therefore also my least favorite Mega. I'll probably only use this Mega Stone once for Pokedex purposes, then never again.
Went out to Route 117 where I caught Volbeat, Rattata and Deerling. Realized now that I had completely forgotten about the Fiery Path so I went up to Route 112 and entered it. Explored it, caught Diglett and Roggenrola, also found a Charizardite X. A suiting place for such a stone. Went back to Mauville where I stopped for the day. In addition to all of what I have done, I have also unlocked the Secret Super Training as my Manectric has maxed its EVs. I have started slightly on it and completed the first four regimens, will continue with the remaining ones eventually as well.
