Pokemon Emerald: Stuck in Slateport City? What to Do Next
Go to Stern’s Shipyard, talk to Dock, then enter the museum and go upstairs to talk to Stern.
Situation
You’ve arrived in Slateport City and need to deliver the Devon Goods, but nothing seems to move forward.
Team Aqua is blocking the museum, and another group is standing further up the path, so you can’t continue in that direction either.
There’s no clear objective marker, and walking around the city doesn’t seem to trigger anything.
What You Need to Do

- Go to Stern’s Shipyard in Slateport City
- Talk to Dock inside
- Go to the Oceanic Museum (now it’s unlocked)
- Go upstairs and talk to Stern
Related Moments
In Short
Talk to Dock at Stern’s Shipyard, then go to the museum and speak to Stern upstairs to continue.
