Lavaridge Town is where you can win the fourth Gym Badge, the Heat Badge, from Gym Leader Flannery. The town is in a volcanic region and is famous for saunas that contain spring water.

A woman just outside the spring will give you an Egg if you want. If you carry it in your party for 5355 steps, it hatches later into a Wynaut

This Gym's specialty is Fire Pokémon, so you will want to have Water-, Ground-, or Rock-type Pokémon at the ready. The Gym has a bathhouse layout with holes that makes players fall down and steam geysers that send players up a level. To reach Flannery, you have to go through the correct series of water-holes.
After defeating Flannery, she will award you with the Heat Badge and also TM50 Overheat. Outside, you will meet your rival and they will give you the Go-Goggles which protect your eyes enough to allow you to enter deserts.
The next gym leader to face is your father, Norman of the Petalburg City Gym. You have another long trek ahead of you to reach Petalburg City. The easiest route is to again head back to Rustboro City via Mauville City, Verdanturf Town, and then Rusturf Tunnel. From Rustboro, journey south through Petalburg Forest to reach Petalburg City.
