As an expert in Pokémon game mechanics, I can guide you through the process of accessing New Mauville in Pokémon Emerald. New Mauville is a special area that can only be accessed after you've defeated the Elite Four and become the Pokémon Champion. Here's how you can get there:
1. Post-Game Progression: After becoming the Champion, you'll need to continue the post-game story by visiting Professor Birch in Littleroot Town to receive the Devon Goods Key.
2. Devon Corporation: Travel to Mauville City and head to the Devon Corporation building, which is located in the north-east part of the city.
3. Key Item: Use the Devon Goods Key on the employee in the Devon Corporation to receive HM05 - Flash.
4. Accessing the Cave: Once you have HM05, go to the north of Mauville City where there's a cave entrance that was previously blocked by a worker. Use Flash to move the boulders and clear the path.
5. Navigating the Cave: Enter the cave and navigate through it. You'll need to use Flash to progress, as some areas are only accessible with this HM.
6. Arrival at New Mauville: After navigating through the cave, you'll emerge in a new area known as New Mauville. This area is home to different Pokémon and trainers compared to the regular Mauville Cave.
