Rustboro After Roxanne
As soon as you leave the Gym area, the Devon researcher from Petalburg Woods runs by. Follow him east to Route 116. Heal first if Roxanne was messy; Route 116 has enough trainers to punish a tired party.
Route 116 adds Whismur, Nincada, Taillow, and Skitty options depending on the grass patch and version. Nincada is slow early but interesting long-term because it can become Ninjask and Shedinja if you manage the evolution correctly. For a normal playthrough, the most practical catch is still Taillow if you missed one earlier.
Enter Rusturf Tunnel and defeat the grunt holding Peeko and the Devon Goods. The grunt is still not a major boss, but if your team is underleveled from Roxanne, heal before entering.
