Ancient Medicine

The guy living at the southeast corner of the town will give you the ancient medicine you want if you talk to him.  Afterwards, he will also sell you items if you talk to him again.

Shock badge

Challenge the gym leader for your fifth badge while you are here in this town.  They all use fighting type Pokémon here.  You will need to teach one of your Pokémon HM4 (Strength) in order to move the borders to get to the gym leader.  Just push the two borders on the side up first, then push the middle one to either side.  The gym leader, Shijima, will uses a LV27 Primeape and LV30 Poliwrath.  After you defeated him, you will be honored the Shock badge which allows you to use HM5 Fly in and out of battle and allows you to control Pokémon up to LV70.  You will also get TM1.

Getting a rare Pokémon

In this town, there is a guy who will give you a rare Pokémon (213).  Make sure you have an empty slot for a new Pokémon and talk to the guy that lives right beside the Pokémon Center.

Getting HM 05

You can get HM2 from the girl right outside of the gym after you defeated the gym leader.  Teach this useful HM to one of your flying Pokémon so you can fly back to Oilvine City instead of surfing.  Fly will also allow you to get back to anywhere you visited on your map quickly.  

Steel badge

Go back up to the top floor of the lighthouse in Oilvine City and give the ancient medicine to Mikan. She will give the medicine to her Pokémon and leave the lighthouse.  Find her at the gym in Oilvine City and defeat her to get your sixth badge.  She will be using two Magnemites at LV 30 and a new Pokémon Haganail at LV35.  Just because this new Pokémon is the evolved form of Onix doesn't mean that it is a rock type.  In fact, it is steel type and fire attacks work well on it.  After you defeated the gym leader in Oilvine City, she will also be giving you a TM23.

Route 42/Mortar Mountain

In order to go to Mahagony Town, you need to fly back to Ecruteak City and head east.  You can either go through the Mortar Mountain or take Route 42 to Mahogany Town.  You can pick up an Ultra ball on Route 42 right outside the cave.  If you stay on Route 42 and surf east outside the cave, you will find an Itemball containing a Super potion.

In the same area on Route 42, you can cut through a tree to get to three nut trees.  These trees contain pink nuts, green nuts and yellow nuts. You can make special Pokéballs with them. If you don't know what they are for, click here to find out more.  If you keep surfing east, you will get to Mahogany Town.

Are you really that anxious to get your 7th badge?  Well, you know how you always wanted to catch a Marril and you can't find it anywhere.  Now is your chance. Hang around at the entrance of the cave in Mortar Mountain for awhile and you may encounter this rare Pokémon.

This cave is like a maze and the encounter rates with wild Pokémon is extremely high here. So, make sure you are prepared (try to bring a couple escape ropes or repels if you can).   Once inside the cave, if you head west and north, you will come to a ladder.  Go up and you will find an Itemball containing a ether.  Go back to where you were at the beginning and head east then north, you will find a Guard Spec in an Itemball once you climbed the ladder.  If you head south instead or north, you will exit the cave to Mahogany Town.

Before you go, if you push the border away with a Pokémon that knows STRENGTH.  You will be able to get a Hyper Potion and a Escape Rope in the deeper portion of the cave.
