'''LaRousse City''' (Japanese: '''ラルース''' ''LaRousse'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive location in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. It is the setting of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. According to promotional maps, LaRousse City is located near [[Lilycove City]]. | |||
[[File: | [[File:Deoxys overlooking LaRousse City.png|250px|thumb|left|{{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} overlooking LaRousse City]] | ||
It is a technologically advanced city with moving walkways and an enormous presence of [[Block Bot]]s. All LaRousse residents and visitors receive a special passport, which acts as ID and enables them to shop. The city's main power source seems to be its wind turbines. The most famous attraction is the [[Battle Tower]]. | |||
The city is located at the {{wp|confluence}} of two rivers in northern Hoenn. The city mainly lies on an island, including the huge park, the Battle Tower, and most of the business districts. On the shores of the river, presumably mainland Hoenn, lies more areas of the city, and presumably other cities such as [[South City]]. Access to the island is via monorail, which wraps around the island, and a bridge over the northern part of the island. | |||
==In the anime== | |||
In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', a {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} awakened after four years and made its way to LaRousse to rescue its friend, who had been taken by [[Professor Lund]] for research. | |||
Deoxys unleashed a powerful electromagnetic force field over LaRousse City to stop its search from being disrupted. The electromagnetic power also affected the city’s [[Block Bot]]s and electricity system, leaving many unable to leave. While [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Professor Lund]] coordinated a rescue mission, Deoxys was seemingly kidnapping everyone in sight with its army of clones. Among the trapped, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, [[Rafe]], {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}}, [[Sid]], [[Audrey and Kathryn]], [[Tory]] and [[Yuko]] realized Deoxys’s intentions and worked together to restore the green Deoxys core. | |||
However the situation became complicated with the arrival of {{OBP|Rayquaza|M07}}, who was determined to fight the Deoxys to protect its territory. The Deoxys later befriended Rayquaza after rescuing it from the rogue Block Bots, and they soon left LaRousse City to return to their respective homes. | |||
LaRousse City later made cameo appearances in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. | |||
===Places of Interest=== | |||
====Battle Tower==== | |||
{{main|Battle Tower}} | |||
The Battle Tower is LaRousse City’s most famous attractions. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} traveled to LaRousse just so Ash could compete against some tough opponents. He met his match against [[Sid]] and [[Rafe]], though the loss was somewhat his impromptu battle partner [[Tory]]’s hesitance to battle that cost Ash the match. | |||
== | ====Monorail==== | ||
The monorail is the main entry into LaRousse City. There are three known train stations on the island, one of which is a large building that also includes a shopping mall. | |||
====Parkland==== | |||
LaRousse City has a large array of parks and public facilities on offer. [[Tory]] particularly likes hanging out in the city’s greenhouse, which houses some rare plants and where he originally met a {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} who only appeared to him as a sprite. | |||
====Pokémon Center==== | |||
{{main|Pokémon Center}} | |||
{{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, [[Rafe]], {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}}, [[Sid]], [[Audrey and Kathryn]] all stayed at the local Pokémon Center while in LaRousse City. | |||
====Professor Lund’s laboratory==== | |||
[[Professor Lund]] and his research assistant [[Yuko]] operate a laboratory, where they studied a green core {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} over four years. They experimented with different frequencies and lazers in an attempt to regenerate Deoxys. In ''Destiny Deoxys'', Yuko succeeded and the revitalized Deoxys reunited with its friend. | |||
