Blackthorn City
Blackthorn City (Japanese: フスベシティ Fusube City) is located in northeast Johto. It is known as "A Quiet Mountain Retreat."
Pokémon Trainers often come to Blackthorne City in order to win the Risingbadge from Clair, the Blackthorn Gym Leader who specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon.
A clan of masters of Dragon-type Pokémon have lived in the city for generations. The masters built the Dragon's Den, a cavern with an underground lake that contains a shrine to Dragon Pokémon, as well as the elders of the Dragon clan, which is located behind the Gym.
Many famous Dragon-type Trainers, including Clair and Lance, come from Blackthorn City.
A Move Deleter also lives in the city.
The Ice Path is the only way into the town from the north. Route 45 is also reachable from the south of Blackthorn, but the steep mountain path means it can be used as an exit only.
