You get the Mega bracelet after using surf off to the right of Mauvile from an event after helping Steven! Also you can get feebas as a 1% encounter on route 119 I am pretty sure, and it evolves from the prism scale which is an item you get in the game later on.
Thank you got a bit mixed up since the quest said he lost him on route 103, thank you for the clarification. Side note been really loving the game, and new additions haven't been invested into a game like this in quite a while so thank you for all you've done!
Unrelated but I have a question regarding an early quest on 103, the kid is asking us to look for the poochyena yet nowhere on route 3 am I finding one? I was late to the quest and didn't know it was there till me being past the 6th gym.
Sorry I didn't manage to grab one but it's right at the strength block you initially move to get in the side area on the way back. Like you said most likely would have an escape rope, and thankfully did still have one.
In case no one here has reported this bug, in Fiery path when you use strength to get the tm for toxic and the other items when you try returning the strength boulder does not move at the exit resulting in a softlocke unless you use an escape rope!
Encountered an issue regarding the missing glasses quest, originally you are supposed to find the black glasses, and he'll tell you they aren't his. I am not even being given that prompt maybe I am missing something?
