Emerald Route 124
The wide blue between Mossdeep and Lilycove, hiding dive spots all across the seafloor. Down below you'll scoop colored Shards to trade a treasure hunter for evolution stones.
Route 124 is in Hoenn, with Route 125 to the east, Route 126 to the south, and Lilycove City to the west. In the story it comes after Team Aqua Hideout and continues east to Mossdeep City.

Route 124 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.
