Lilycove City: Difference between revisions

Lilycove is located southeast of {{ci|Fortree}}, near the sea. The western entrance of the city is {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, leading to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the {{safari|Hoenn}}. To the east is {{rt|124|Hoenn}}, the open sea, and either the [[Team Magma Hideout]]{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}} or the [[Team Aqua Hideout]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

 

During the story, after {{p|Kyogre}} and/or {{p|Groudon}} is awakened, the weather in Lilycove is temporarily changed to [[harsh sunlight]]{{sup/3|Ru}}/extremely harsh sunlight{{sup/6|OR}}, [[rain]]{{sup/3|Sa}}/heavy rain{{sup/6|AS}}, or abnormal weather{{sup/3|E}}. The weather returns to normal once the crisis is over.

The Cove Lily Motel is a local motel in Lilycove. It is located east of the Contest Hall. In Emerald, [[Scott]] will be napping at a table before Team Aqua steals the submarine from Slateport City. Due to the fact that [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] were situated in Lilycove City, the city has become an unpopular tourist destination for a time, so the Cove Lily Motel has become empty. However, once the villainous teams were scared away by the player, the [[Game Freak]] staff decided to stay there, and arrive after the player beats the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Adjacent to the museum and one of the main attractions of the city is the Lilycove Department Store, the largest store in Hoenn. The receptionist on the left welcomes visitors, and the one on the right gives out Pokémon Loto Tickets for the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]], with the winning number changing daily. Prizes are awarded for winning numbers, which must match any of the player's Pokémon's [[original Trainer]]'s [[Trainer ID number|ID numbers]] from the last digit to the first one. The second floor is where items to fulfill Trainers' basic needs are available, such as [[Poké Ball]]s, {{cat|Potions}}, [[Mail]], and other [[item]]s. The third floor sells items that raise the [[Statistic|stats]] of Pokémon, while the fourth floor sells four offensive and four defensive [[TM]]s, and the fifth floor sells [[Decoration|furniture]] for [[Secret Base]]s. The rooftop has a couple of [[Vending machine|Vending Machines]] and hosts a {{DL|TV Mauville|Pokémon News|semi-random rooftop sale, which is advertised beforehand}}. In {{game|Emerald}}, the rooftop also houses a [[Move Tutor]], who will teach a compatible Pokémon {{m|Substitute}} one time only.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], there is a [[Vending machine|Vending Machine]] at the back of the harbor building.

The Move Deleter is located on the northern side of the city, just east of the Lilycove Department Store. He is the only Move Deleter in [[Hoenn]]. Although not a hugely important place to visit, the Move Deleter is helpful for deleting moves that can't be deleted otherwise. He is a very forgetful man, and lives alone. For no charge, the Move Deleter will make a Pokémon forget a [[move]] it knows. This is the only way for a Pokémon to forget [[HM]] moves such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Fly}}, besides using the {{pkmn|Day Care}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, players cannot make a Pokémon forget {{m|Surf}} if it is the only one that knows the move. This is done so that a player will not get stuck in an area where Surf is required to continue. In addition, a Pokémon's move will not be forgotten if it is the only move it knows.

Later, {{TRT}} appeared and tried to steal Kelly's Grumpig. However, May and {{cat|May's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} managed to rescue the {{pkmn|category|Manipulate Pokémon}} before sending [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} blasting off again. The following day at the [[Contest Hall]], [[Vivian Meridian]] opened the Lilycove Contest, welcoming the audience and introducing the three distinguished [[Contest Judge|judges]]: the Chief of the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]], [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]]; the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman|President]] of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], [[Mr. Sukizo]]; and the [[Pokémon Center lady|operator]] of the local [[Pokémon Center]], [[Nurse Joy]].

 

 

Lilycove City is the [[hometown]] of {{ho|Katie}}, a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who competed in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]; she is considered to be the pride of Lilycove. It is also the hometown of [[Kiley]], a pro surfer.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====

In ''[[PS222|Short Shrift for Shiftry]]'', the [[Pokémon Association]]'s [[Hoenn]] HQ was revealed to be situated in Lilycove City.

 

[[TV Mauville|Hoenn TV]] is also housed in Lilycove City. In ''[[PS225|Tanks, but No Tanks, Anorith and Lileep]]'', [[Archie]] was revealed to work as its director, using his influence to keep the public unaware of [[Team Aqua]]'s activities and focus on [[Team Magma]] instead.

 

In ''[[PS230|Walrein and Camerupt]]'', [[Maxie]] confronted Archie outside Hoenn TV. After a brief {{pkmn|battle}}, they agreed on a temporary truce in between their respective [[villainous team|teams]] so that they could combine their resources and safely reach [[Seafloor Cavern]]. [[Gabby and Ty]] secretly witnessed this, and decided to share the information they had learned with the [[Gym Leader]]s and {{adv|Ruby}}.

In ''[[PS239|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon VII]]'', when the weather crisis struck Hoenn, the Pokémon Association HQ was revealed to have deployed a large balloon and become airborne to escape the ground level devastation.

 

In ''[[PS245|Bravo, Vibrava]]'', [[Brawly]], [[Roxanne]], and [[Wallace]] were taken to the now-abandoned Lilycove City by the three {{tc|Magma Admin}}s to stop their attempts at halting {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}}'s advancement through Hoenn. Brawly was taken to fight [[Blaise]] in the [[Lilycove Museum]], Roxanne was taken to the [[Cove Lily Motel]] by [[Courtney]], and Wallace faced [[Tabitha]] at the [[Lilycove Department Store]]. While Brawly and Wallace were able to defeat their opponents, Roxanne was defeated by Courtney as she took hostages and threatened to harm them if Roxanne didn't let herself be defeated. As Roxanne had been using her {{TP|Roxanne|Nosepass}}'s {{m|Block}} to stop Groudon from moving, this defeat allowed Groudon to move on.

 

In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', {{Steven}} joined Wallace in Lilycove City, [[PS251|soon]] followed by the [[Elite Four]]. On the rooftop of the Lilycove Department Store, Steven passed his {{pkmn|Champion}} title on to Wallace.

* In the coding for Ruby and Sapphire, there is an unused Poké Mart programmed with wrap tiles leading to the outside of the Department Store. It is a remnant of an earlier version of the city.
