'''Rustboro City''' (Japanese: '''{{j|カナズミシティ}}''' ''Kanazumi City'') is a metropolis located in western [[Hoenn]]. It is the fourth largest city in Hoenn, after [[Mauville City]], [[Lilycove City]] and [[Slateport City]]. Rustboro City has an unusual yet unique cityscape in the Hoenn region. The buildings' architectures are designed with stones, giving it an old-town feeling.


According to the Cutter's daughter, Rustboro was expanded to accommodate its growing size with the help of the Cutter's Pokémon which cleared the trees. The [[Devon Corporation]] is headquartered in the northwest side of the city. The first Gym is located here with [[Roxanne]] as the [[Gym Leader]].

[[File:Rustboro City anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Rustboro City in the {{series|XY}}]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], Rustboro City appeared in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'' to ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} mainly traveled to Rustboro for Ash's first [[Hoenn]] [[Gym]] battle, which happened in ''[[AG016|The Winner By a Nosepass]]'', but while there, they also visited the lookout tower, the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] and the [[Devon Corporation]].
 
In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'', they went to the desolate harbor of Rustboro City and met up with [[Mr. Briney]], who brought them to [[Dewford Town]] by boat.
 
Rustboro City also has a [[Contest Hall]] on its outskirts. Ash and his friends arrived at the Rustboro Hall in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'' and discovered that a [[Pokémon Contest]] was scheduled to take place there in just a few hours. They were surprised by the way contestants prepared their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for the event, as it was very different from how {{pkmn|Trainer}}s usually {{pkmn|training|train}} their Pokémon for Gym matches. After a meeting with [[Janet]] and {{an|Chaz}}, two skilled [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s, they learned about the proceedings of the competition and decided to enter. However, the lady in the registration desk was not accepting new entries as the event had already reached the maximum number of contestants allowed. Nonetheless, they received [[Contest Pass]]es and watched the Pokémon Contest get underway, with {{an|May}} and [[Max]] working as Janet's assistants.
 
[[File:Rustboro Ribbon.png|thumb|220px|The Rustboro Ribbon]]
During the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], Chaz had his {{p|Venomoth}} showing off its {{m|Confusion}} attack, while Janet had her {{p|Beautifly}} using {{m|String Shot}} to break plates thrown by May and Max. Their performances impressed the [[Raoul Contesta|panel]] [[Mr. Sukizo|of]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]] enough to secure them a place in the second round. Jessie's performance, on the other hand, was a total failure as she commanded her newly {{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} to use several [[move]]s it didn't known. In the [[Contest Battle]]s, both Janet and Chaz defeated their opponents to reach the finals. The two had a close battle, but when time ran out Janet was shown to have more points. As a result, she was declared the winner of the Rustboro Contest, earning her third [[Ribbon]]. Throughout the competition, May was amazed by the performances and the different kind of battling, and this inspired her to become a Pokémon Coordinator.
 
Rustboro City appeared again in ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', where [[Alain]], [[Mairin]], and {{Steven}} arrived there, following the energy signature of the [[Giant Rock|giant rock]] they had [[SS031|previously]] encountered. [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} also followed the energy, and clashed with each other just off the coast of Rustboro City. The battle was eventually stopped by {{me|Rayquaza}}, although the giant rock was taken away by [[Lysandre]]'s submarine to be studied at [[Lysandre Labs]].

Location
Hoenn Rustboro City Map.png
Location of Rustboro City in Hoenn.

Rustboro City (Japanese: カナズミシティ Kanazumi City) is a metropolis located in western Hoenn. It is the fourth largest city in Hoenn, after Mauville City, Lilycove City and Slateport City. Rustboro City has an unusual yet unique cityscape in the Hoenn region. The buildings' architectures are designed with stones, giving it an old-town feeling.

According to the Cutter's daughter, Rustboro was expanded to accommodate its growing size with the help of the Cutter's Pokémon which cleared the trees. The Devon Corporation is headquartered in the northwest side of the city. The first Gym is located here with Roxanne as the Gym Leader.

Slogan

The city probing the integration of nature and science. (Japanese: しぜんと かがくの ゆうごうを ついきゅうする まち The city probing the integration of nature and science.)

Places of interest

Devon Corporation

Main article: Devon Corporation

Rustboro serves as the establishment for the Devon Corporation, a company which makes many items for Pokémon Trainers. The company headquarters is located in the northwest corner of the city, and takes the appearance of a large, old-fashioned looking building. A sign outside reads:

DEVON CORPORATION
"For all your living needs, we make
it all."

Apart from developing improved and innovative items, the company also revives Pokémon from Fossils. The Devon Corporation's workers are also attempting to build impossible machines such as one that can transform people into Pokémon. In the south section of the town is an apartment complex for Devon employees.

Cutter's house

A Cutter lives near the Pokémon Center with his daughter.

When the city of Rustboro was undergoing expansion, the Cutter had his Pokémon use Cut to help clear the land of trees. He will give the player HM01 (Cut). According to May/Brendan, he has a younger brother in Mauville City, which is the person that gives out HM06 (Rock Smash) in Generation III.

Elyssa's house

Elyssa's House is located next to the Gym in Rustboro City. By talking to Elyssa, the player is given the option to make an in-game trade. In Ruby and Sapphire, Elyssa wants a Slakoth, and will trade a Makuhita named Makit in exchange. Makit is holding an X Attack. The new Pokémon's level will match that of the Pokémon the player traded.

Kobe's house

In Emerald, Elyssa gets replaced by Kobe and he will instead want a Ralts (found on Route 102), and will trade a Seedot named Dots in exchange. Dots is holding a Chesto Berry.

Pokémon Trainer's School

Main article: Pokémon Trainer's School

The Pokémon Trainer's School is located east of the Pokémon Center. A sign outside reads:

POKéMON TRAINER'S SCHOOL
"We'll teach you anything about
POKéMON!"

Inside are five students and a teacher, who gives the player the Quick Claw. Talking to the students also reveals helpful information. Behind the teacher is the blackboard with the list of status conditions (Poison, Burn, Freeze, Paralysis, and Sleep) that may affect Pokémon in a battle. In the anime, Roxanne, the local Gym Leader, runs the school.

Walda's house

In Pokémon Emerald, a sad young girl named Walda lives between the Pokémon Center and the Devon Corporation building. If the proper 'funny' word is given to her caretaker, she will reward the player with a new wallpaper for the Pokémon Storage System.

Rustboro Gym

Main article: Rustboro Gym

Rustboro Gym is the first Gym a player must face in the Hoenn region. It is located in the northern part of Rustboro, east of the Devon Corporation. The sign outside reads:

RUSTBORO CITY POKéMON GYM
LEADER: ROXANNE
"The ROCK-loving honors student!"

The Gym Leader is Roxanne, who specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. The Stone Badge is awarded for defeating Roxanne. The Gym is a maze; there are two paths, one path which battles the Gym Trainers, while the other path lets the players go through without battling.

In the anime, Rustboro Gym appears as a giant boulder in A Winner by a Nosepass!.

Role

Delta Episode

During the Delta Episode, after receiving Steven's call in Petalburg City, Steven will be waiting outside the Devon Corporation building in Rustboro City for the player, escorting the player to Mr. Stone's office when they arrive.

In his office, Mr. Stone tells the player about the history of the Devon Corporation, then asks the player to retrieve a Meteorite Shard from Granite Cave. Throughout the Delta Episode, Mr. Stone mentions where Steven has most recently headed to.

After listening to Zinnia's grandmother at Meteor Falls, Steven heads to the Devon Corporation building in Rustboro City. When the player arrives there, a scientist runs out the front door, running away from a Team Aqua Grunt. That grunt then challenges the player, followed by a second and third grunt, all of whom run away after their own defeat. After defeating the third grunt, the scientist reveals that the device to control the Link Cable was stolen by CourtneyOR/MattAS and that Steven has headed off to the Mossdeep Space Center.

Demographics

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the population of Rustboro City is 57, making it the third largest city in Hoenn, behind Lilycove City and Slateport City.

Pokémon Emerald

In Pokémon Emerald, the population of Rustboro City is 61, making it the second largest city in Hoenn, behind Lilycove City, which has over twice the population of Rustboro.

In the anime

Rustboro City in the XY series

In the Pokémon anime, Rustboro City appeared in Gonna Rule The School! to On a Wingull and a Prayer!. Ash and his friends mainly traveled to Rustboro for Ash's first Hoenn Gym battle, which happened in The Winner By a Nosepass, but while there, they also visited the lookout tower, the Pokémon Trainer's School and the Devon Corporation.

In On a Wingull and a Prayer!, they went to the desolate harbor of Rustboro City and met up with Mr. Briney, who brought them to Dewford Town by boat.

Rustboro City also has a Contest Hall on its outskirts. Ash and his friends arrived at the Rustboro Hall in All Things Bright and Beautifly! and discovered that a Pokémon Contest was scheduled to take place there in just a few hours. They were surprised by the way contestants prepared their Pokémon for the event, as it was very different from how Trainers usually train their Pokémon for Gym matches. After a meeting with Janet and Chaz, two skilled Pokémon Coordinators, they learned about the proceedings of the competition and decided to enter. However, the lady in the registration desk was not accepting new entries as the event had already reached the maximum number of contestants allowed. Nonetheless, they received Contest Passes and watched the Pokémon Contest get underway, with May and Max working as Janet's assistants.

The Rustboro Ribbon

During the Appeals Round, Chaz had his Venomoth showing off its Confusion attack, while Janet had her Beautifly using String Shot to break plates thrown by May and Max. Their performances impressed the panel of judges enough to secure them a place in the second round. Jessie's performance, on the other hand, was a total failure as she commanded her newly caught Seviper to use several moves it didn't known. In the Contest Battles, both Janet and Chaz defeated their opponents to reach the finals. The two had a close battle, but when time ran out Janet was shown to have more points. As a result, she was declared the winner of the Rustboro Contest, earning her third Ribbon. Throughout the competition, May was amazed by the performances and the different kind of battling, and this inspired her to become a Pokémon Coordinator.

Rustboro City appeared again in Mega Evolution Special III, where Alain, Mairin, and Steven arrived there, following the energy signature of the giant rock they had previously encountered. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre also followed the energy, and clashed with each other just off the coast of Rustboro City. The battle was eventually stopped by Mega Rayquaza, although the giant rock was taken away by Lysandre's submarine to be studied at Lysandre Labs.

Trivia

  • As Hoenn coincides with Kyushu, Rustboro coincides approximately with Fukuoka and Kitakyushu.
  •  Rustboro City is very similar to Saffron City of Kanto and Jubilife City of Sinnoh. All three cities are home to their region's corporate giants.
    •  It is also similar to Pewter City of Kanto and Goldenrod City of Johto. Their geographic locations to their regions are very remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest during the beginning of the games. Rustboro is more like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a Gym, but first to be beaten by the player. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in Rock-type Pokémon, and play a role in the player obtaining Fossil Pokémon.
  • In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is an Easter egg findable in Rustboro City, involving the Ace Trainer who gives the player a Float Stone. After giving it to the player, he will explain its effect of halving the holder's weight. If the player then leaves and re-enters the floor, the Ace Trainer has turned into a Hiker, who tells that he has put on a lot of weight recently for some reason.
