  1. This route skips Hiker Mike, the trainer in Rusturf Tunnel, by getting Strength from the west end after reaching Meteor Falls. The movement itself saves 35-40 seconds, but you lose 889 experience and you must make an additional shopping trip. I've listed the basic steps below, and a more detailed route will come soon.
  2.  
  3. STEPS:
  4. 1. Fight Hiker Clark on Route 116
  5. 2. Get 36 additional experience on Route 116 (this is the threshold for early Marshtomp)
  6. 3. Buy 2 fewer Repels in Slateport
  7. 4. Teach Rock Smash on the bike registering menu
  8. 5. After defeating Wattson, bike to Fallarbor
  9. 6. Do not get the Route 111 Elixer. Skipping it allows you to delay the Wally call until a tile on which you can repel for Route 113
  10. 7. Get the Fallarbor Nugget
  11. 8. Sell the Nugget, then buy 12 Super Repels, 4-5 X Specials, 1 X Speed, 7-9 X Attacks, 1 X Defend and 2 Guard Spec.
  12. 9. Use a Super Repel on the Route 114 bridge
  13. 10. Pass Angelina using turn-frame-into-bike and run-into-bike manipulation (bag manip the first pass if she quick spins before you fight Lucas)
  14. 11. Use Water Gun on Lucas' Numel
  15. 12. After the Meteor Falls cutscene, take the south exit
  16. 13. The Super Repel will wear off before the Blackbelt spinner. Use another, then bike around him and use Rock Smash to take the right path going down. This allows you to dodge a double spinner/stander
  17. 14. Bike through Route 116 to Rusturf Tunnel. Breeze past the rotator, then run-into-bike manip Karen, then bag manip and run-into-bike manip the Youngster
  18. 15. Get Strength, then take the west exit
  19. 16. If your Super Repel is still going, bike until it wears off
  20. 17. Use a Super Repel, then Teleport to Mauville
  21. 18. Bike east to fight Rose
  22. 19. Bike north to the Cable Car. The Super Repel will wear off one tile before Brice, and if he hasn't spun, it's a safe pass. If he has spun, run-into-bike manip
  23. 20. Save the desert and Petalburg candies until after Rival 3
  24. 21. After Norman, bike to the Petalburg mart and buy 2 Escape Ropes, 3-5 X Speeds and 12-14 X Attacks
  25. 22. Get the Elixer before Rival 3
  26. 23. Always use 2 X Attacks on Rival 3
  27. 24. Don't buy X Attacks in Mossdeep
  28.  
  29. IMPORTANT LEVEL DIFFERENCES FROM LOST EXP:
  30. - 25 for Tabitha's Zubat (Strength range)
  31. - 27 for Flannery's Camerupt (MS range unless amazing Attack)
  32. - 28 for Brawly's Makuhita (Strength range unless amazing Attack; always dies to MS)
  33. - 29 for Norman's Spinda (can't OHKO at +2)
  34. - 31 for Shelly's Mightyena (very unlikely to OHKO in Torrent)
  35. - 32 for Rival 3's Grovyle (can't OHKO at +1)
