Oldale Town Ruby & Sapphire · Town
Oldale Town is the small town just north of Littleroot, where Routes 101, 102 and 103 meet. On your first visit a Poké Mart clerk gives you a free Potion, and a man sketching footprints blocks the road west until you get the Pokédex. It is where you heal before your first rival battle on Route 103.
