Location Location of Verdanturf Town in Hoenn. |
Verdanturf Town (Japanese: シダケタウン Shidake Town) is a small, quaint town nestled between the mountains and the plains in central western Hoenn. It is well known for its very clean air.
Wally is sent to live here with his aunt, uncle, and cousin Wanda in order to improve his health. The town features a Contest Hall in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as in their Generation VI remakes, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. In Pokémon Emerald, however, the Contest Hall is replaced with a Battle Tent.
There are two ways out of Verdanturf; to the east is Route 117 towards Mauville City, and to the north is the Rusturf Tunnel, which was being constructed to link Rustboro and Verdanturf. However, the construction disturbed the local Whismur who lived in the tunnel, and so it was canceled. Wanda's boyfriend tried to dig the tunnel himself, but was unable to do it. After the player gets the Dynamo Badge, he or she can use Rock Smash to complete the tunnel and open a path to Route 116.

In the anime
In the Pokémon anime, Verdanturf Town was shown to have a fairly luxurious neighborhood. It is the hometown of Morrison, a Pokémon Trainer and one of Ash's rivals in the Ever Grande Conference. Among the town's residents are Timmy Grimm and his parents, Mrs. Grimm and Tommy Grimm.
Ash, May, Max, and Brock arrived in Verdanturf Town in Disaster of Disguise, where they met up with Drew again. Drew was in Verdanturf to compete in the town's Pokémon Contest. However, after his Roselia was injured in a battle against Timmy's Dusclops, he decided it would be better not to participate.
In Disguise Da Limit!, May entered the Verdanturf Contest hoping to win her second Ribbon. Timmy and Jessie, disguised as The Phantom and Jesselana, respectively, were also among the competing Coordinators. In the Appeals Round, May's Skitty failed to deliver a successful Blizzard attack. Despite this, she was able to save her performance by juggling with Double Slap just like Dr. Abby taught her in Delcatty Got Your Tongue, advancing May to the Contest Battles.
After defeating Stefano, May battled Timmy in the final round. Timmy proved to be a talented Coordinator and a tough opponent for May, as he had some good Contest combinations up his sleeve. This led May to lose a large amount of points. However, her Skitty managed to master the move Blizzard and use it against Dusclops, knocking it out. The three Contest judges then called Battle Off and May was declared the winner, receiving the coveted Verdanturf Ribbon.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Ruby, having arrived from the Weather Institute to Verdanturf with Gabby and Ty, starts his Pokémon Contest conquest in Volume 18. It was then revealed, at the end of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, that the Contest Hall was severely damaged following the incident involving Kyogre and Groudon, and a Battle Tent was set up in its place.
Wally, who had been in Verdanturf with his cousin Wanda to improve his health, left the town before Ruby arrived.
Trivia
- In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a girl in the Poké Mart sings a short song when talked to, which goes: Ball, Ball, Nest Ball. ♪ Ball, Ball, Luxury Ball. ♪ Afterwards, she says that she learned the song from "a strange person in red clothes" when she visited the Kalos region once. This is likely a reference to the Team Flare Grunt who can be battled at the Poké Ball Factory in Pokémon X and Y and sings a similar song before the battle.
