In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the crater was formed by a giant meteorite impact into the ocean of the Hoenn region a thousand years ago, eventually filling with rainwater. People soon began to dwell in the crater for its warm, fresh water and a city soon came forth. The great tree in front of the [[Cave of Origin]] was received from [[AZ]] when he visited from the [[Kalos]] region.

In the house northeast of the Pokémon Center, there are two brothers who are arguing over two different species of Pokémon. The younger brother is a {{tc|Fisherman}}, while the older brother is a {{tc|Hiker}}. In Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, the younger brother prefers {{p|Barboach}} and the older brother prefers {{p|Shroomish}}. In Emerald, the younger brother prefers {{p|Seedot}} and the older brother prefers {{p|Lotad}}.

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the brothers are arguing over the sizes of their favorite Pokémon. If a brother is shown a Pokémon of the species he prefers, he will calculate its {{DL|Personality value|size}} and give the player an [[Elixir]] if it is larger than any he has seen before. The initial record size is the average height of the species being argued over, which is 0.4 meters in Ruby and Sapphire and 0.5 meters in Emerald.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the brothers are arguing over the cuteness of their favorite Pokémon. If a brother is shown a Pokémon of the species he prefers with an [[Affection]] of at least level 4, he will give the player a [[Max Elixir]]. Unlike the Generation III games, each brother will only give away an item once.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the volcano Sootopolis City is built upon opens up at one side, giving access to {{DL|Transportation in the Pokémon world|ships and boats}}. After leaving [[Izabe Island]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in Sootopolis City in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. Ash was planning to challenge the local [[Gym Leader]] to a {{pkmn|battle}} in order to obtain his eighth [[Gym]] [[Badge]], which would qualify him to compete in the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|League Conference|Championships}}.

When they got to the Gym, they were greeted by {{ho|Sebastian}}, Juan's butler and assistant, who explained to Ash the rules of the Sootopolis Gym. The Gym battle is divided into four rounds; the first is a [[Double Battle]] held in a large swimming pool with floating platforms and the other three are Single Battles conducted in a battlefield resembling a lake surrounded by land. Ash won the battle in ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough!]]'', earning the {{Badge|Rain}}, his eighth [[Hoenn]] Badge overall, which allowed him to compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. After that the group left for [[Pacifidlog Town]], site of an upcoming [[Pokémon Contest]] which May wanted to enter in order to obtain her fifth [[Ribbon]].

Sootopolis City was first mentioned in ''[[PS192|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt I]]'', where [[Mr. Briney]] mentioned how his {{p|Whiscash}}, Whisko, had sensed multiple earthquakes happening in Sootopolis.

After [[Maxie]] awakened {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} at the [[Seafloor Cavern]], the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] confronted each other in Sootopolis City, where they began a fierce battle with each other. In order to prevent the immense energy resulted by the battle from going out of control, {{Steven}} and the [[Elite Four]] used the {{TP|Brandon|Legendary titans}} to contain the energy in Sootopolis City. Due to the containment field created by the titans covering the city everywhere above it, the excess energy from the battle was forced downwards, causing the entire city to rise into the air. Eventually, the battle was stopped by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, bringing the city back down to its proper place.

===={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====

[[Zinnia]] was taken there after Rayquaza rejected her offer to join her in order to destroy the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] headed for Hoenn. Upon {{adv|Emerald}}'s request, Zinnia agreed to work alongside the Stones, [[Mr. Stone|Joseph]] and Steven, for a solution to avert the impending apocalypse. Eventually a plan was devised, which involved the Hoenn [[Gym Leader]]s, Elite Four, and [[Frontier Brain]]s, as well as the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], {{adv|Red}}, and {{adv|Green}}, all standing by at Sootopolis to launch a combined attack towards the meteoroid, while Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}} would ride Rayquaza into space to strike the meteoroid directly. The plan was executed successfully, saving the Hoenn region from yet another disaster.
