Route 119 Emerald · Route
Route 119 is a long, often rainy river route running north from Route 118 to Fortree City. Team Aqua takes over the Weather Institute here, and once you drive them out you get Castform; near the Fortree end your rival battles you and then gives you HM02 Fly. The river is also the only place to find Feebas.
