Sootopolis City: Difference between revisions

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.

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 in ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', 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}}, [[Wallace]], and the [[Elite Four]] used the {{TP|Brandon|Legendary giants}}' {{m|Superpower}} to contain the energy in Sootopolis City. Due to the containment field created by the giants covering the city everywhere above it, the excess energy from the battle was forced downwards, causing the entire city to rise into the air. In ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now IV]]'', the battle was stopped by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, bringing the city back down to its proper place.

However, as Groudon and Kyogre headed to their sleeping grounds, it turned out that the stress of controlling the Legendary giants had caused Steven to die, while the same soon also happened to [[Norman]], due to him having controlled Rayquaza, causing the Legendary Pokémon to escape. In ''[[PS264|It All Ends Now V]]'', [[Archie]] and Maxie emerged from the [[Cave of Origin]] and stole the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s from Ruby, intending to restart the crisis. In ''[[PS265|It All Ends Now VI]]'', Wallace, who had recently inherited Steven's {{pkmn|Champion}} title, arrived to fight Archie and Maxie, but he was forced to surrender when they took [[Winona]], his beloved, as a hostage. In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Ruby and Sapphire started battling against the {{cat|villainous team leaders}}, who soon decided to retreat. The [[Trick Master]], along with {{TP|Ruby|Plusle}} and {{TP|Sapphire|Minun}}, was able to stop them from escaping, after which Ruby used his previously unrevealed sixth Pokémon, {{adv|Celebi}}, to swipe the Orbs and destroy them. Celebi subsequently [[Time travel|transported]] Ruby and Sapphire to a slightly alternate future, reviving those who had died during the final battle.

After peace had returned to [[Hoenn]], {{adv|Giovanni}} was seen picking up the shattered remains of the Orbs, revealing that the formed gemstones were, in fact, the Orbs' {{i|Ruby|true}} {{i|Sapphire|forms}}, which he intended to use in {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen|his newest plan}}.
