Rusturf Tunnel is a cave that connects Rustboro City and Verdanturf Town. But when you first arrive in this area, the path to Verdanturf Town and the secret eastern area of Route 116 will be blocked by breakable rocks.
After obtaining the Stone Badge, you’ll need to confront a Team Aqua / Magma Grunt who kidnapped Peeko the Wingull and stole the Devon Parts inside.
