Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Rusturf Tunnel
Your chase for the stolen Devon Parts ends inside Rusturf Tunnel, where you corner the grunt and take them back. Deeper in, a grateful man hands over the Aggronite, the Mega Stone that unleashes Aggron's Mega form.
Rusturf Tunnel is in Hoenn, with Verdanturf Town to the east. In the story you arrive from Route 116 to the west and it comes before Route 105.

Rusturf Tunnel Guide
It isn't an HM here at all. Flash is TM70, still handed over by the hiker just inside Granite Cave, and no badge gates it. If you played the originals that's the twist, because Brawly's Knuckle Badge used to authorize Flash in the field and now it authorizes nothing.
In caves and on water the DexNav's silhouettes drift around a small patch instead of holding still the way they do in tall grass, which means you spend the encounter tracking them rather than walking straight up.
