Cities and Towns

Mauville City (Japanese: キンセツシティ Kinsetsu City) is located in central Hoenn, and a hub for travelers throughout the region. Its motto is "The Bright and Shiny City of Fun!"

A bike shop is located in Mauville City which is called Rydel's Cycles. It is very conveniently located for the owner and customers alike, as the Seaside Cycling Road runs on Route 110, just to the south. Rydel sells Acro Bikes and Mach Bikes. However, he will give the player a bike for free after he finds out that you have come all the way from Littleroot Town with just your running shoes.

The roads of the town stretch north to Route 111, west to Route 117 and Verdanturf Town, east to a beach on Route 118, and south to Route 110. Because of the central location, all sorts of people travel through the town.

The Mauville Game Corner also draws tourists in. At the Game Corner, people can gamble coins on slots or roulette.

Wattson is the Gym Leader and founder of Mauville. He originally had plans to do a complete overhaul of the town, but abandoned them. He specializes in Electric-type Pokémon.
