Emerald Route 115
A cliffside route hugging the coast north of Rustboro, a strip of sand below and rocky ledges up top where Jigglypuff bounce around.
Route 115 is in Hoenn, with Rustboro City to the south. In the story you arrive from Meteor Falls to the north and it comes before Mt. Chimney.

Route 115 Guide
No, and losing that split is a real perk. On one Emerald cartridge you can raise both Zangoose and Seviper, both halves of every version pair, with nothing to trade and no version column to check. A few species that skipped Ruby and Sapphire show up here too.
You'll want all of them. The three rods pull different fished species as you trade up from Old to Good to Super, Surf opens the surface water where Wingull and Sharpedo swim, and Dive reaches the underwater seaweed on Routes 124 to 126 where Clamperl and Relicanth live. Dive comes from the Mossdeep gym.
