Rusturf Tunnel: Difference between revisions

After obtaining the {{badge|Stone}}, the {{player}} follows the [[Grunt]] encountered earlier in the game to this tunnel. After defeating him, the player will receive the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]]{{sup/3|RSE}}/[[Devon Parts]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, which can be returned to the [[Devon Corporation]].

Later in the game, the player will find two people, separated by a pair of rocks which can be smashed using {{m|Rock Smash}}. After the rock is smashed, the man will give the player {{HM|04|Strength}}{{sup/3|RSE}}/an [[Aggronite]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}.

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 heavy machinery used in the construction work was causing discomfort to the local Pokémon, {{p|Whismur}}. The project was officially canceled, though a {{tc|Black Belt}} continued to work on it without the use of machinery. By the time of the games, only a few breakable rocks remain to block off the tunnel.

Rusturf Tunnel first appeared in ''[[PS218|It's Absol-lutely a Bad Omen]]'', where a cave-in occurred there due to an earthquake, trapping [[Wanda]]'s boyfriend {{adv|Riley}} beneath the rubble. In ''[[PS219|What Would You Do for a Whismur?]]'', {{adv|Ruby}} used his {{p|Marshtomp}}, [[Mumu]], to save Riley. The earthquake turned out to have been caused by a group of {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s led by {{tc|Magma Admin}} [[Courtney]]. When Courtney spotted Ruby, she became interested in him, grabbing him and taking him with her deeper into the tunnel.

 

In ''[[PS220|Going to Eleven with Loudred & Exploud I]]'', Courtney revealed that [[Team Magma]] had destroyed the boulders blocking the incomplete tunnel, thus effectively completing its construction. She challenged Ruby to a {{pkmn|battle}} and offered him a chance to join Team Magma. Meanwhile, the local {{p|Whismur}}, alarmed by the commotion, called in two {{p|Loudred}} and an {{p|Exploud}} to help them. The Pokémon used {{m|Hyper Voice}} together, defeating the Team Magma Grunts and clearing away the rubble that had been keeping reinforcements from reaching Ruby. In ''[[PS221|Going to Eleven with Loudred and Exploud II]]'', Ruby escaped from being burned alive by Courtney with the help of Wanda, Riley, [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby, and Ty]].

* Both the name of the tunnel in all the localized languages are a combination of the two cities it connects (Rustboro City and Verdanturf Town, respectively, for all languages except Italian, which is in the opposite order).
