Someof his associates show greater interest in foreigners' relations while others keep tabs on the natives' relationships. Prof. Fir, specifically, prefers focusing on the interactions between Pokemon and the environment as well as humans and the environment.[/quote]

[center][h3][u][b]Southern Peninsula[/b][/u][/h3][/center][quote]The southern portion of the Hoenn Mainland is dominated by the Rustboro Metropolitan Area. Petaburg is the only other major city of the south, functioning as the major Residential City for commuters to Rustboro. Oldale, an outlying suburb, is a common place for advanced Pokemon trainers to practice battling in the shadow of prestigious Johnson Academy. The furthest suburb is Littleroot, a small village where Professor Fir's research laboratory and a few outlying houses establish a warm and intimate community. Oldale connects by river and land to the southern end of the Cycling Road and Route 110. The southern half of Route 104 is the site of Briney Marina and its beaches, and ends at Petalburg Woods, a dense outcrop of forest just northwest of Petalburg proper. Though still overgrown, it is the best path to travel from Petalburg to Rustboro. The Gym Leader, Violet, surveys the area and makes travel much easier.
	Much of this area is dominated by the Petildale Forest, surrounding the cities, suburbs, and towns and all associated Routes. It's not uncommon for hikers and survivalists to become lost when traveling from Petalburg to Verdanturf through this forest.[/quote][list][*][color=green]Route 101[/color] | 6m

[center][h3][u][b]Continental North[/b][/u][/h3][/center][quote]This is the center of civilization for Hoenn. It is dominated by the massive technological marvel that is Mauville City, the center of the region in more ways than one. As they say, "all roads lead to Mauville.: It has major land routes in all directions, connecting Rustboro in the west to Slateport in the south and Lilycove in the east.
	Northwest of Mauville is dominated by Mt. Chimney, and all of the geographical features stemming from it. There are a few mountain and foothill towns, most notably Lavaridge and Fallarbor, and a large number of difficult-to-traverse routes, especially around the mountain.
	Just north of Rusturf Tunnel is the Rusturf Forest. It produces what little dense vegetation the area is able to produce. This forest runs north of Route 116 to Meteor Falls and from Lavaridge to Route 115.[/quote][list][*][color=green]Route 111 South[/color] | 20m

The Weather Institute was built here to study and forecast the, occasionally, erratic weather patterns such a mild climate can produce. The largest city in Hoenn, the Harbor of Lilycove, is the hub of society, art, innovation, and creativity. 
	Running the entire distance from the suburb of Fortree to Route 118/123 grows the thickest and most dangerous jungles found in much of the world. Routes 119-123 were carved out for "easier" travel since cutting through the center of Fortree Jungle was virtually impossible.

[center][h3][u][b]Southwestern Shoals[/b][/u][/h3][/center][quote]The waters surrounding the Continental South are the towns and cities of modesty. A lengthy series of routes connecting first Briney Marina to the island town of Dewford then to Slateport is relatively faster to travel from Petalburg to Slateport. Many commercial and ocean-science ventures are based out of Slateport and held at Sea Mauville, making it one of the most important cities of the region.
	Much of the island of Dewford is overgrown and dense with tropical vegetation. The Dewford Forest surrounds Granite Cave and the Town of Dewford, which is [u]almost[/u] a town, with the overgrowth and wild Pokemon seeming to push them ever closer to the shore.
	Mauville Island, the island just east of Route 110 and just south of Route 118, has been the center of some contention with the residents of Mauville. They tend to consider it as part of the Continental North for namesake where the Pokemon League section it with the Southwestern Shoals for geographic ease. Regardless, the island is virtually undeveloped and is considered a protected section of wildlife by the Pokemon League.[/quote][list][*][color=green]Route 105[/color] | 42m

[center][h3][u][b]Northeastern Archipelago[/b][/u][/h3][/center][quote]The archipelago of the northeast is, generally, the safest waters in all of Hoenn. Fishers, treasure hunters, and athletes make their homes here, however temporary, making the possibility of losing one's path unlikely. The most notable island in this archipelago is the City of Mossdeep with it's highly-advanced space technology and laboratories.
	Still, the archipelago has it's areas of danger, most notably the village of Ever Grande and the suburb of Sootopolis. Though Sootopolis isn't inherently a dangerous place to live, the methods of entering it's crater allow only the most skillful of trainers or bravest of divers. Shoal Cave and Victory Road are only more dangerous. The ebb and flow of the natural tides can quickly trap the unsuspecting (and unprepared) explorers and adventurers in the depths of Shoal Cave. Victory Road is full of dangerous Pokemon and treacherous trainers (specifically the Elite Four).
	Regardless, the environment here is very natural and relatively undeveloped, lending it a mysterious air. The great crater of Sootopolis and the dangers of Victory Road are whispered about on the mainland, but rarely visited and only seen from afar. There are still some oases that can be discovered in the area, though.[/quote][list][*][color=yellow]Route 124[/color] | 70m

[center][h3][u][b]Southern Sea[/b][/u][/h3][/center][quote]The only city is the floating metropolis of Pacficidlog. It is paradoxically both well-inhabited and completely inhospitable. The currents, jetties, and weather patterns are unpredictable and dangerous, braved by only the boldest of ships.
	The ruins of the Sky Pillar are off-limits as per the regulations set in place by the Pokemon League. Only a select few have the privilege of working to preserve this landmark from both harmful Pokemon and humans. The same level of care is held for Southern Island. It's true that most of Hoenn is literally uninhabited, but this island is a marvel for it's flora, sporting exotic plants and flowers sensitive to human and Pokemon interactions.
	The Sea Mesa, just north of Pacifidlog proper, and Pacifidlog Island, just south of the floating town, are the only other landmasses in this portion of the Region. They are inhabited by the few who enjoy minimal interaction with civilization and minimal basic luxuries found in any city or village in Hoenn.[/quote][list][*][color=yellow]Route 129[/color] | Lv. 3 | 15m
