The game starts off exactly like it did in the original Ruby and Sapphire, but then it takes a new twist. After the opening cut scene, jump out of the truck. Your mother will show you around your new house and tell you to check out your room up stairs. Interact with the clock before heading back down stairs. Your mother will point you to a TV show that's on. When the program is over, go outside and explore Littleroot Town.
The house to the east is Professor Birch's house. Go upstairs and meet his daughter or son. The gender of the character depends on the gender of the character you chose. If you chose a boy, May will be Birch's daughter. If you chose a girl, Brendan will be Birch's son. After a short talk, exit back out to Littleroot Town.

You can visit Professor Birch's Lab in the south, but he won't be there at this time. Your next destination is Route 101 in the north.
