23. New Mauville

Walkthrough

This chapter is optional for the story, but it pays a good TM. Fly to Mauville City and talk to Wattson, who is standing in the city since your fifth badge. He gives you the Basement Key and asks you to switch off the generator under Route 110.

Surf to the small island in the middle of Route 110. The door there is the entrance to New Mauville. Unlock it with the key.

Inside, blue and green floor switches raise and lower barriers. Step on them to clear a path to the far end of the basement, and step on the red switch there to stop the generator. Three of the item balls on the floor are Voltorb that attack when you touch them.

Go back to Wattson and he gives you TM24. He then returns to his gym and says he is waiting for a rematch, but rematches are not in the game.
