Location Location of Rocky Ridges in Kanto.

Rocky Ridges (Japanese:ゴツゴツやまの街 Rugged Mountain Town) is one of two areas in Pokémon Pokopia that can be unlocked after meeting Kyogre in Withered Wasteland, the other being Bleak Beach. It is what remains of Pewter City after a series of catastrophic weather anomalies ravaged the world and forced humans to take refuge in space.

Ditto arrives in Rocky Ridges through the gate from Withered Wasteland, accompanied by Professor Tangrowth.

Rocky Ridges is connected to the Sparkling Skylands to the east, and Withered Wasteland to the south-east through gates.

Places of interest

Ridge Pokémon Center

The Ridge Pokémon Center is initially a pile of rubble on a stone platform, having been torn down by extreme weather. It is eventually rebuilt by Ditto and a group of other Pokémon, after which a note can be found on the floor inside, alongside a counter with a cash register, a 3D printer, a healing machine, and some furniture.

Kitchen

Chef Dente is first met in a storage room connected to a kitchen, buried under the hill across from the Pokémon Center, after rescuing her from a hanging barrel. In order to save Chef Dente, Ditto learns how to cook meals to power up its moves.

DJ Rotom's room

DJ Rotom is first met after Ditto investigates a stereo speaker system in a room buried in the hill directly east of the Pokémon Center. This room is an extension of a tunnel in the abandoned mines underneath Rocky Ridges, this section leading to the ruins of the Pewter Museum of Science.

Pewter Museum of Science

The ruins of the Pewter Museum of Science can be found in the northern part of Rocky Ridges, either by breaking through the walls blocking access through the mines, or by climbing over the ash covered hills. Ditto can meet Gimmighoul here, with the collect allowing Ditto to trade Rainbow Feathers, Silver Feathers, or appraised large lost relics for other items.

Demographics

While there are no longer any humans living here, Bleak Beach is inhabited by a handful of Pokémon before Ditto starts making new habitats.

Not counting Ditto and Professor Tangrowth, Bleak Beach is initially inhabited by three Pokémon:

• Chef Dente
• Gimmighoul

Additionally, some Pokémon appear without their habitat as Ditto completes requests:

• DJ Rotom

Human Records

Name		Collection	Contents	Reward
	Artificial Hot Springs Now Open!	Newspapers	"On the 8th of this month, an artificial hot spring debuted in Area 7’s communal bath area. This hot spring recreates the quality spring water found in Lavaridge Town in the Hoenn region. If it proves popular, there are plans to install hot springs in each area."	N/A
	Katie's journal	Diary Entries	"May 7 I can’t think of anything! I need to have FOUR design proposals ready in two days, but I’m coming up blank! I was begging my Smeargle for help, and he scribbled some random patterns on a piece of paper and handed it to me. Are those design pitches? That’s so cute! Actually...that gives me an idea. Back to work!"	N/A
	Hacker's confessions #5	Diary Entries	"While humanity is evacuated into space, all of the Pokémon in the world are to be stored and protected in a massive computer system. That is the Pokémon Conservation Project. An incredible plan. But the foundation members said that in order to avoid panic they had to keep both the disaster and the project out of the public eye as much as possible. Naturally this left them shorthanded. Skilled computer technicians were in particularly high demand. That's why the foundation sought me out after I discovered the disaster—recruitment. I took them up on their offer. Until this point, I had always lived as I pleased. But if I could save Pokémon using my skills, I had to do it. The work was tough but also rewarding. Eventually, the public began to take notice of the disaster. The foundation gradually evacuated those who noticed to a “safe place,” but to avoid panic, they waited until the last minute to tell people that their destination was space. In the middle of this unbelievable situation, I found a flaw in the plan."	N/A
	Professor's diary #4	Diary Entries	"It was decided that we will take part in the Pokémon Conservation Project. It’s a plan to safely store all Pokémon on the planet in a massive computer system while humanity takes refuge in space. I can’t be sure that such a thing is even possible, and being parted from our Pokémon will be terribly painful, but... this may be the only way that people and Pokémon will be able to live together again someday. I was also asked to join a survey team after we move to space, but I held off on responding. After humanity relocates, a small group will be sent back to the planet to survey the environment and do maintenance on the conservation system. But given my age, I don’t know if I'll still be spry enough to be of much help. I think it’s a task best left to the young."	N/A
	Chef's diary	Diary Entries	"March 13 Charlotte appears to be interested in cooking! I tried teaching her a bit, and she’s really quite good at it. She's very dexterous with those little Greedent hands, and it took almost no time before she was able to help me out with simple tasks. June 27 Charlotte’s an eager eater, but the one food she doesn’t like is Chesto Berries. She made a rather strained expression when I fed her some. A chef shouldn’t be picky about things like that, but I'd feel bad forcing her to eat something she doesn’t like. What to do... July 3 I made a special soup just for Charlotte using Chesto Berries as a secret ingredient. She seemed to really like it, and she appeared very satisfied as she finished off the whole pot! I wonder how shocked she'd be if she knew it had Chesto Berries. I look forward to the day when she figures it out."	N/A
	Seize the Week (Vol. 8)	Magazines	"The Poké Ball variation we'd like to showcase this week is none other than the Love Ball! This odd ball makes it easier to catch Pokémon when yours is the opposite gender! What's not to love? Did you all know about this ball?"	Smile emote
	Ophthalmology Journal (Spring)	Magazines	"Abstract Pidgeot possess high visual acuity. This study focused on comparing the eyes of Pidgeot to other Pokémon, and as a result, it successfully identified a specific DNA strand that impacts eyesight. This DNA strand demands further research, specifically with applications in mind for restoring sight to humans. Celadon University Research Team"	Super Nerd outfit
	Comfy Living (Vol. 866)	Magazines	"More and more people are finding themselves low on sleep recently due to the rapid and unexpected changes in their environment. In this issue, we'll offer some ideas that can help to get your sleep back on track, including information on aromatherapy and hot baths. Better sleep at night starts with a more relaxing day!"	N/A
	Bug Love (September Issue)	Magazines	"This issue's feature article is all about Vespiquen! What is the Beehive Pokémon’s surprising reaction when given honey? Read on to find out!"	N/A
	Gym Leader Monthly (July Issue)	Magazines	"Gym Leader Spotlight: Brock! Brock, Gym Leader of the Pewter City Gym, has built up a rock-hard defense using his well-trained muscles and Pokémon--but what's behind that hard exterior? July's special edition of Gym Leader Monthly will be all about the rock-solid Pokémon Trainer Brock! Just what is the secret to his stoicism?!"	Rock-solid outfit
	Team R Grunt's journal #4	Magazines	"Let me tell you all about what happened while I was looking for Leppa Berries to try and complete this mission for the boss. There's been a bunch of extreme weather or whatever recently that’s killing off all the trees, but I FINALLY found a tree that still had berries on it! But as soon as I started shaking the tree to get the berries off, some super serious-looking lady came up and started yelling at me! She was like, “Those are NOT for you! They're for Pokémon! There are already FAR too few berries!” Blah blah blah. She was so annoying! But something else she said was actually kinda interesting... Apparently she’s making an app or something to get a bunch of people to work together and create a comfortable environment for Pokémon to live in. Basically, if you do good stuff for the environment... the app will reward you with cool prizes! In other words, she’s gonna bribe people to work for her by promising ‘em cool stuff. Not a bad idea! And that gave ME a GREAT idea! I bet I could complete that mission the boss gave me by doing kind of the same thing!"	N/A
	Team R Grunt's journal #5	Magazines	"So I went ahead and got some prizes ready. I went with Gym Badges! People are crazy about those things, y'know? These are fake ones, though! Now I just gotta get some nice little Pokémon Trainers to come work for free! But that’s got me kinda stumped. All the Trainers I try to talk to in town just look at me like I’m suspicious and ignore everything I say. I dunno if my handiwork was no good or if I just have a face that only a mother could trust, but I gotta say that this whole thing’s got me feeling kinda down. I even had to report to the boss and tell him that the mission wasn’t going well. I just didn’t have a choice. But the boss didn’t get mad! He just gave me a pep talk and even let me in on some ultra-top-secret intel about our warehouse!"	N/A
	Poké Life Dev Diary #2	Magazines	"Like-minded individuals have been slowly joining my cause as I continue to create homes for Pokémon. I greatly appreciate the support those individuals provide, but we have all begun to grow tired as the meteorological anomalies and resulting natural disasters continue to worsen. We need more time, and we need more help. I have recently begun hearing rumors that there are plans to temporarily evacuate all of humanity into space. If these rumors are true, does that mean that all of our efforts have been in vain? My collaborators seem anxious as well. Perhaps they are of the same mind as I..."	N/A
	Poké Life Dev Diary #4	Magazines	"We have developed an app that will allow all members of our society to participate in creating a comfortable environment for Pokémon and humans. The budget and staff required to accomplish this feat were provided by the foundation, and the app can be accessed by anyone via Pokémon Center PC. Participants can start with easy tasks, such as watering dry ground or planting the seeds of various plants— anything that will please nearby Pokémon. The app will reward the participant with virtual “coins,” which can in turn be exchanged for a variety of prizes. This was my first time developing an app, and it was quite the challenge. However, with the help of many talented collaborators, we finally succeeded. The name of the app is Poké Life."	N/A
	Tomorrow's meals	Notes	"HAMBURGER STEAK - Beans - Tomato or potato (if cheap) CARROT BREAD - Use up carrots (we have so many) - Make in advance NOTE: Don’t use the mushrooms. Those are for next week's soup."	N/A
	Someone's journal #3	Notes	"A long time ago, this city was packed with people working in the nearby mines. Apparently, it was a pretty lively place. At least, that’s what I heard from the chef at the little restaurant I visited with <player>. There’s no sign of that restaurant anymore. But I guess it’s not surprising, given those vicious volcanic eruptions. Who could live in a place like this now? The food we had at that restaurant was incredibly delicious. The whole time the chef was cooking, <player> was watching intently. It’s always been so full of curiosity. I've noticed it seems particularly interested in the things humans do. I wish we could have traveled together more. There are so many things I wanted to show it."	N/A
	You've Been Selected!	Letters	"Thank you for entering our recent drawing for the EZ Kitchenware Set! We are excited to inform you that your name was selected! Please find your kitchenware set enclosed. Happy cooking!"	N/A
	To Harry	Letters	"Look at this cute photo of Rio! I took it when Growly (who just moved in next door) came over to play. Doesn't she look happy?! Lately, she’s been spending every free minute playing with Growly. At this rate, she'll probably forget all about you! Just kidding! But if you're worried about that, maybe you should finally visit next summer break!"	N/A
	Heya, Kaz!	Letters	"This is Mora! Adorable, right? I’m not sure this photo does her justice, though. Just look at how gorgeous she is, and those eyes suck you right in... She’s so cute! Don’t you think so too, Kaz? I also look at this photo when I’m lonely. I hope this picture of Mora cheers you up, Kaz, even if it’s only a little bit!"	N/A
	Project Cancellation Proposal	Papers	"The project originally set to launch next month is moving ahead with preparations, despite its low chance of success. We took it upon ourselves to collect data and perform our own calculations. A report on the dangers that came to light from said calculations is included herein. With this in mind, we ask that you please seriously consider canceling the project."	N/A
