In the anime

Aspertia City in anime

Aspertia City was first mentioned by Professor Juniper in New Places... Familiar Faces! when she advised Ash to challenge the new Gym Leader, Cheren, while on their way to the White Ruins.

Aspertia City first appeared in There's a New Gym Leader in Town! when the gang arrived for Ash and Cheren's battle.

The city contains a port and is also home to the Aspertia Gym. The Gym also functions as a school dedicated exclusively to the education of aspiring Pokémon Trainers. Cheren is not only Gym Leader of Aspertia Gym, but also a teacher of the school.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Hugh lives in Aspertia City and attends the city's school, also attended by Blake and Whitley. Colress raids the city using Genesect, but is stopped by Blake and Looker when the former captures Genesect with a Luxury Ball. Colress, however, evades arrest and escapes.

Later on in the Black 2 & White 2 arc, the Autumn Choral Competition takes place here.

Trivia

  • Aspertia City is the only hometown in the core series games to be a city, and as such is much larger than other hometowns and has a higher population. It is also the first hometown in a core series game to contain concrete paths, a Gym, or a Pokémon Center.
    • As Aspertia City is the only hometown to house a Pokémon Center, it also is the only city in the core series games where the Pokémon Center is not the flying destination, as this trait is given to the player's house.
  • Aspertia City and Nuvema Town are the only hometowns that share a region.
