| Location | Obtained inside Rusturf Tunnel. |
| In-game Description | A case that contains mechanical parts of some sort made by the Devon Corporation. |
The Devon Parts is a key item in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. It is unmissable and will advance the main story shortly after beating the Rustboro Gym.
This quest is split into two parts.
First you need to obtain the Devon Parts inside Rusturf Tunnel. After that, you will deliver the item to Captain Stern in Slateport City.
Location
The quest starts immediately after you win the Stone Badge.
A short scene will play the moment you exit the Rustboro Gym. You will see a Devon employee chasing after a Team Aqua (AS)/Magma (OR) grunt.
Step 1: From the Rustboro Gym, head left and follow the main street towards the city’s northeast exit (moving right behind the gym).
Step 2: Keep heading right and you’ll run into the Devon employee. He will then ask you to recover the stolen Devon Parts.
Step 3: Keep heading right along the main street, towards the northeast exit, and you will arrive at Route 116.
Step 4: From the Route 116 entrance, just keep walking right. Feel free to choose between the upper or the lower section since the two paths lead to the same destination.
Step 5: You will arrive at this junction once you are out of the first grass patch. Keep to the lower section of the route this time and then head right.
Tip: There are two trainers ahead. To avoid them, stick to the bottom edge of the route and away from their line of sight.
Step 6: Head right until you exit the grass patch. You will arrive at the entrance to Rusturf Tunnel.
Step 7: Speak to Mr. Briney, the old man in front of the cave. He will ask you to head inside and rescue his Wingull, Peeko, from the evil team grunt.
Step 8: Enter Rusturf Tunnel, head up the first set of stairs and then turn right.
Step 9: Keep heading right, moving past the second set of stairs. You will eventually reach a dead end blocked by rocks, where you will run into the grunt.
Step 10: Speak to the evil team grunt to trigger a battle. Defeat him to rescue Peeko and recover the stolen Devon Parts.
Delivering the Devon Parts
Before you can deliver the Devon Parts, you must have cleared the following requirements:
- Obtained the Letter from Mr. Stone in Rustboro.
- Defeated the Dewford Gym and obtained the Knuckle Badge.
- Given the Letter to Steven inside Granite Cave.
After handing over the Letter to Steven, you will need to sail over to Slateport City. Your next step is to find Captain Stern and hand the Devon Parts over to him.
Step 1: From the Dewford Pokémon Center, head northeast towards the pier.
Step 2: At the pier, speak to Mr. Briney and select “Route 109” as your destination.
Step 3: After arriving at Route 109, head north from the pier.
Step 4: Once you exit the pier, head to the northwest of Route 109.
Step 5: Keep heading northwest until you arrive at the entrance to Slateport City.
Note: Slateport City has two different entrances. One is located to the northwest of Route 109, while the other is located to the northeast. We are going to use the northwest entrance as our reference since it’s quicker.
Step 6: From the city entrance, head up the main street. Then turn to the right where the old lady is standing.
Step 7: Keep heading right until you arrive at Stern’s Shipyard.
Step 8: Enter the Stern’s Shipyard building to trigger a short scene. Dock, the man with the yellow polo shirt, will inform you that Captain Stern is at the Oceanic Museum.
Step 9: Exit Stern’s Shipyard and return to the main street, then head north. You will arrive at a crossroads with the Pokémon Center to the left and the Poké Mart to the right.
Turn right at the crossroads.
Step 10: Keep heading right until you arrive at the Oceanic Museum.
Although it’s a good idea to heal your Pokémon before proceeding. You’re about to face two consecutive battles inside the museum, so being prepared will help.
Step 11: Enter the Oceanic Museum and speak to one of the receptionists. Pay the 50 PokéDollar fee to enter the exhibition.
Step 12: From the museum entrance, turn left and head up until you arrive at a staircase. Go up the stairs to the second floor.
You don’t have to worry about the grunts on this first floor since they will not battle you.
Step 13: From the staircase on the second floor, move your way down towards the bottom-right corner.
Step 14: Speak to the gentleman in the green suit. He will introduce himself as Captain Stern.
Step 15: Two evil team grunts will then show up and challenge you to a battle. You’ll have to fight them in succession.
The grunts have some pretty easy Pokémon between levels 14-16, so these battles should not prove to be a challenge. Once you win, the team boss Archie (AS) or Maxie (OR) will show up immediately after the battle and take the grunts back with them.
Then you’ll deliver the Devon Parts to Captain Stern, completing the quest.
With this portion of the main story done, you can continue towards Mauville City and the third badge.
