Route 104
Route 104

Route 104 connects Petalburg City with Rustboro City to the north and Route 105 to the
south. The Petalburg Woods occupy the central part of the area. A cottage belonging to Mr.
Briney is located on the south side, and the Pretty Petal Flower Shop stands on the north side.

The Scuffle

Deep inside the woods, you come across a researcher from Devon Corporation, a company
based in Rustboro City. After explaining that he is looking for a Shroomish, he is suddenly
confronted by a member of Team MagmaOR/Team AquaAS. The thug had planned to ambush
the worker when he left the woods, but grew too impatient for that. Defeat him in battle and
he flees the scene, but not before hinting that his friends are up to something in Rustboro. The
grateful researcher gives you the Exp. Share, which distributes experience points to all
Pokémon traveling with you, as thanks. He then heals your Pokémon, and rushes off to
Rustboro after realizing what his attacker wanted.

Tricky Times Ahead

Continue on your way to the north side of Route 104. After you exit the woods, another
Grunt on recon duty steps out of the trees to the east, reporting to her superior about their
failure. She reaffirms her continued investigation of a form of energy that the team had
recently detected. Whatever the group's plans are, it seems clear that a conflict is brewing in
Hoenn. Be sure to be on your guard!

Pretty Petal Flower Shop

The Pretty Petal Flower Shop is run by three sisters. The eldest sister teaches all visitors how
to grow Berries. The middle sister hands out the Wailmer Pail when you first speak to her.
The youngest sister will hand out one random Berry from a group of eight every day.

Cheri Berry Aspear Berry

Chesto Berry Leppa Berry

Once you have earned your fifth Badge, the sisters will also offer decorative plants for sale.

Rustboro City
Rustboro City

Rustboro City is the third largest city in Hoenn. Each of the buildings were constructed with
stone, giving the city an old-fashioned feeling. The Pokémon Trainers' School, Devon
Corporation headquarters, and Rustboro Gym are all located here.

Meet with May/Brendan

The Poké Mart is the first building you reach, and who else steps out of it but May/Brendan.
She/He marvels at the size of the city, then dashes off to challenge the local Gym.

Cutter's House

Stop by the Cutter's house next to the Pokémon Center. When the city was expanding, he
taught his Pokémon a move to help clear the surrounding land of trees. He no longer needs
his HM01 (Cut), and gives it to you. In the field, Cut may be used to clear away prickly trees.

Devon Corporation

Devon Corporation is headquartered in a large stone building in the northwest part of town.
The company is responsible for manufacturing many of the items Trainers rely on every day,
including several variations of Poké Ball and medicine. Only authorized personnel are
allowed past the first floor.
Pokémon Trainers' School

The Pokémon Trainers' School stands to the northeast of the Pokémon Center. Talk with the
teacher to receive a Quick Claw, and brush up on the basics by reading the notes on the
blackboard.

Ailment Effect(s)
Attack drops to 50%, inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of maximum HP every

ASLEEP Cannot move for one to three turns.

Time for a Trade

The Rustboro Gym beckons, but before you step inside, visit the house to the east. Inside is a
boy who is looking to trade his Makuhita for a Slakoth. Makuhita is a strong Fighting-type
Pokémon that will be a big help inside the Gym. This one is even holding an X Attack to
sweeten the deal.

Rustboro Gym
Rustboro Gym

Rustboro City Pokémon Gym

Leader: Roxanne
The Rock-loving honor student!

The Rustboro Gym specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. Use Grass, Water, and Fighting
moves to deal serious damage, and avoid battling with Fire-, Bug-, or Flying-type Pokémon.
The Gym doubles as a Fossil museum, and has an impressive array of exhibits on display.
The Gym Leader, Roxanne, greets you near the entrance. She is eager to see how you fare
against her, and takes her place at the back of the building. As hers is the first Gym in the
Hoenn League, this graduate of the Pokémon Trainers' School has opted for a layout that
gives novice Trainers a chance to avoid her subordinates and challenge the Gym Leader
directly. Use Leer or Tail Whip to soften up Roxanne's rock-solid Pokémon. Both of her
Pokémon have the Sturdy Ability, which prevents them from being defeated in one hit, so
chip away at their health before striking with super-effective moves.

Reward:

After the battle, Roxanne awards you the Stone Badge, which ensures obedience from all
Pokémon up to level 20 and enables the use of Cut in the field. She also gives you TM39
(Rock Tomb) as a prize.

Stop, Thief!

When you leave the Gym, you witness a Team MagmaOR/Team AquaAS Grunt escaping from
the Devon Corporation building. That same Devon researcher from earlier is close behind,
and chases the thief northward. He loses track of him in the northeast, where the city connects
to Route 116.

Route 116

Route 116

Route 116 runs east from Rustboro City. The well-traveled path is used by the workers tasked
with construction of Rusturf Tunnel, a project that is now abandoned.

Kidnap!

When you reach the entrance to Rusturf Tunnel, you find old Mr. Briney standing there. It
seems that the thief has added kidnapping to his list of charges, as he has also made off with
Mr. Briney's beloved Wingull, Peeko!

Rusturf Tunnel

Rusturf Tunnel

Rusturf Tunnel was a construction project by Devon Corporation that aimed to link Rustboro
City and western Hoenn to the rest of the region. The tunnel was nearly complete when
Devon's president, Mr. Stone, realized that the work was disturbing the local Whismur
population. The project was canceled, though only a small bit of debris, easily cleared,
remained to hinder travel.

The Take-Down

The tunnel is fairly small, so you will find the thief and his hostage shortly after you step
inside. Defeat him, and he gives up the Devon Parts before fleeing. The old man rushes in to
check on his Peeko, and introduces himself as Mr. Briney before the pair leaves for his
cottage near Petalburg Woods.

Rustboro City
Devon Corporation

Now that you have reclaimed the Devon Parts, head back to the Devon Corporation building
in Rustboro's northwest corner. The grateful Devon researcher is waiting outside, and hands
you a Great Ball before escorting you inside to meet his boss.

On the third floor, the company president introduces himself as Mr. Stone. He thanks you for
reclaiming the stolen parts, then asks for another favor. He doesn't expect you to work for
free, of course, and rewards you with the BuzzNav upgrade to your PokéNav Plus.

BuzzNav

the PokéNav Plus presents fun and informative news programs that keep you updated on

In return, he asks that you deliver a Letter to a man named Steven in Dewford Town. To
reach Dewford, you will need to cross the sea, so Mr. Stone suggests booking passage with
Mr. Briney, the friendly old sailor from Route 104.

As you leave, take note of the Scientists on the second floor. None of them are having much
luck with their projects, except one, who has developed a device that can resurrect ancient
Pokémon from Fossils.
