Battle Resort

The Battle Resort (Japanese: バトルリゾート Battle Resort) is a location in Hoenn. It only appears in.

It is the counterpart to 's and 's, and is their predecessor.

It is only accessible after the player obtains the S.S. Ticket, which is obtained from Norman in Littleroot Town after completing the Delta Episode. It is accessed via the S.S. Tidal from the port in Slateport City or Lilycove City.

Role
When the undefined arrives for the first time, they are greeted by Wally, who had also received an S.S. Ticket and an invitation to the resort. Following him, the player encounters Archie,, and Shelly/Maxie, Tabitha, and. The trio thank the player for stopping their nemesis, and rewards them with Sharpedonite/Cameruptite. Upon entering the main area, the player and Wally are given an introduction to the Battle Resort by a ; if the player does not already have one, he will give them the Vs. Recorder.

On the southern side of the island, Looker has washed ashore with a bad case of amnesia. A local woman takes him in to her cabin. If the player visits him here, he gives the player an Audinite which he found in his coat pocket.

At the southeast corner of the island, there is a who is looking for a new Bike. This Triathlete is one of three NPCs the player needs to talk to in order to be able to obtain both Bikes from Rydel.

Pokémon Day Care Annex
An annex of the Pokémon Day Care Center on is located to the east of the Pokémon Center. It possesses all the services of the Pokémon Day Care on the mainland. It is run by the Day Care Lad and his older sister and holds Pokémon separately from the one on Route 117, allowing for two pairs of Pokémon to be bred at once.

Additionally, there is a continuous cycling path for hatching and breeding by standing in front of the Day Care Lad in front of the Day Care and riding sideways (both left and right work) until the player hits a corner, then holding up and cycling for as long as needed.

Stats judge
Inside the Pokémon Center of the resort, there is a stats judge who will read the individual values (IVs) of a selected Pokémon and determine the range of values which the IVs fall under, as well as naming all of its stats that have an IV of 31 or 0 (and make clear which is which).

Sound system
South of the Pokémon Day Care Annex is a who will offer the change the background music, accepting which will change the background music of the Battle Resort outside to one of several tracks at random. The music will remain the area's background music until she changes it again, even if the player leaves the area.

Using any theme other than the Battle Resort theme, cycling and ing will not change the music. If the player is cycling and changes the theme to Battle Resort, the music that plays at the time will be the cycling theme (although dismounting will result in the Battle Resort theme playing, as normal).

The available tracks are:
 * Battle Resort
 * Hurry Along
 * Rival's Theme
 * Secret Super Training!
 * Secret Super Training!

Battle Maison Replica
There is a replica of the Kalos Battle Maison in the center of the Battle Resort. Progressing far enough through each battle mode will result in a battle against one of the s.

Grunt couple
In the second cabin to the right of the Battle Maison there is a male and a female  who have fallen in love and abandoned their teams to be together. While they agree to stay together no matter how their teams decide to punish them, two other grunts arrive to assure them that will be fine, and offer their blessings.

After leaving and entering again, the couple tell the player that they have decided to return to their respective teams, hoping to help mediate the tension between the teams. As a sign of their vow, the Team Magma Grunt and Team Aqua Grunt give the undefined their and, respectively, that they had raised in honor of the leaders they admired.

Whismur show
Northwest of the Battle Maison, there is a woman with four who will perform a cup-and-ball mini-game. The objective of the game is to guess which Whismur is holding a Big Mushroom. If the player identifies the correct Whismur, they win the Big Mushroom. If the player loses, they may try again until the correct guess is made. The player can only receive one Big Mushroom per day this way.

On rare occasions, the game may be played with seven more Whismur and, oddly, a Marill. Eight of the Whismur leave after the game, along with the one holding the Big Mushroom, who later switches places with Marill.

This minigame is similar to the show in  and the elemental monkey show in.

Move Tutors
Move Tutors are available at the Battle Resort, immediately left of the Pokémon Center. Four Tutors have set up stands next to each other, and will teach Pokémon moves in exchange for Battle Points.
