Rusturf Tunnel (Japanese: カナシダトンネル Kanashida Tunnel) is a tunnel between Rustboro City and Verdanturf Town, hence the name. Due to construction on the tunnel, Verdanturf Town can't be accessed through Rusturf Tunnel during the first stages of the game. HM06 (Rock Smash) is needed to fully travel across the Rusturf Tunnel. It is also the only way to travel to a secret area of Route 116.
Early in the game, the player must battle a Team Aqua or Team Magma grunt to rescue Peeko, who was stolen from Captain Stern. After winning, the player will receive the Devon Goods, which can be returned to the Devon Corporation.
Futher on, the player will find two people, separated by a pair of rocks which can be smashed using Rock Smash. After the rock is smashed, the man will give the player HM04 (Strength).
Construction
Construction of the tunnel had originally begun by the Devon Corporation under the leadership of Mr. Stone in order to link Rustboro, as well as nearly the entire western half of Hoenn, to the large cities in the center of Hoenn, like Slateport City and Mauville City. The tunnel was very nearly completed when Stone realized that the construction work was causing discomfort to the local Pokémon, Whismur. The project was canceled, though only two rocks, easily smashed, remained to separate the tunnel.
Items
- Devon Goods (Given by Team Aqua or Team Manga grunt if defeated)
- HM04 (Strength) (Given by person after rock is smashed)
