I started a Nuzlocke and have gotten 3 badges alongside having spent hours grinding, I was battling the trainers near Rustboro and accidentally went down the ledge, meaning that I cannot climb back up, I then stupidly healed and headed to Mr. Briney's house, only to realize that he isn't there, is there a way for me to get back to Lavaridge?
