Emerald Lilycove City
Hoenn's biggest shopping hub, with a sprawling Department Store and the Contest Hall. Surf east from the beach and you'll find Team Aqua's hideout dug into the cliffs.
Lilycove City is in Hoenn, with Route 124 to the east, Route 121 to the west, and Battle Frontier to the west. In the story it comes after Team Magma Hideout and continues north to Team Aqua Hideout.

Lilycove City Guide
Towns have no walkable grass, so the only wild Pokemon are out on the water. Surf or fish along a town's edge and you can pull Wingull, Tentacool, or Magikarp. A few towns hand you a Pokemon outright instead, like your starter in Littleroot and a Beldum at Steven's house in Mossdeep.
Lilycove tops the list, with the only full Department Store and the ferry that runs out to the Battle Frontier once you're Champion. Mossdeep hands you a free Beldum and fields a two-leader gym, and Slateport's market and shipyard keep pulling you back for story beats.
