Dock (Japanese: ツガ Tsuga) is a character in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire who plays a minor role in the player's story progression. He works at Stern's Shipyard and was commissioned to design a ferry.

In the games

Dock in Pokémon Emerald

Before arriving in Slateport City, the player is told by Mr. Stone's assistant to deliver a package to Captain Stern in Slateport. However, Stern is inaccessible until the player talks to Dock. After doing that, the Team MagmaROR/AquaSEAS Grunts, previously preventing the player from entering the Oceanic Museum (where Captain Stern is), are no longer blocking it off. From that point, the player can advance farther in the game.

Much later in the storyline, Mr. Briney decides to help with the work on the ferry, and Dock notifies the player when they talk to him.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it is revealed that Dock used to be a member of the Sea Mauville Project which eventually failed. Captain Stern reached out to him, however, to join his crew in Slateport, much to his gratitude.
