At the end of the path there are stairs onto a mountain and a cave into the mountain. Go up the stairs and get the X Special.
Rusturf Tunnel
Go into the cave. At the entrance, someone complains that Peeko was stolen from him.
Go up the stairs to get the Poke-ball. Go down one staircase, and walk up to the {{{2} person who is standing next to a Wingull:
Team {{{2} Grunt (220)

The {{{2} person gives you the goods, and then leaves the cave. The person from the entrance comes and gets his Wingull, Peeko, and goes to the cottage to the south of the woods.
Finish up in the Rustboro area
As soon as you go back to Rustboro City, on your way back in, the person from Devon will stop you. He will ask you to deliver the goods to Slateport City. You will also be given a letter to bring to Dewford Town.
Go to the north of the ledge to the west of the cave. You are on a path with trees to cut down. You will be able to fight:
School Kid Jerry (200)

WhismurNormal9PoundUproar
Note that since Whismur's special ability is Soundproof, you can't reduce its Attack with Growl, or harm it with Uproar.
At the end of that path there is an Ether.
Go to the south end of Rustboro City. At the west, go behind the fence. You will find an X Defend.
At the south end of the lake, there is a tree to Cut. Behind it you can find an X Accuracy.
At the North end of the woods, there are two trees together. Cut down one of them and go through. A person along the path will give you a Miracle Seed. Continue along the path, and you will find a Great Ball. Jump down the ledge, and head to the west. You will find an X Attack.
