Aqua's Journal, May- after spending quite a long time exploring Slateport and the routes just north of it, I finally reached Mauville. It was a tough road here, with lots of training, some hardships, and another death (Ember). I think I'll take some time to relax and re-think my strategy while I'm here...
Also, I ran into my new friend Wally from Petalburg. Apparently he had moved to Verdanturf since I last saw him. His Pokemon is not that strong, but I can tell he's passionate about battling. He's so cute and shy, I wanna help him in any way I can.
