===''Pokémon the Series''=== | |||
===={{aniseries|RS}}==== | |||
Rustboro City debuted in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived at the Rustboro [[Contest Hall]], located in its southern outskirts, and discovered that a [[Pokémon Contest]] was scheduled to take place there in just a few hours. After a meeting with [[Janet]] and {{an|Chaz}}, two skilled [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s, they learned about the proceedings of the competition and decided to enter. However, the receptionist was not accepting new entries as the event had already reached the maximum number of contestants allowed. Nonetheless, they received a [[Contest Pass]] each and decided to watch the Contest, with {{an|May}} and [[Max]] agreeing to work as Janet's assistants. During that Contest, Ash started {{pkmn|training|teaching}} his {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Iron Tail}} in preparation for taking on the [[Rustboro Gym]] after seeing Chaz's {{p|Sentret}} demonstrate the move. | |||
In addition to Janet and Chaz, [[Jessie]] also entered the Contest, but failed to even get past the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]] due to trying to get her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} to use [[move]]s it didn't know. Both Janet and Chaz got through the Appeals Round and went on to face each other in the finals of the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]]. The two had a close battle, but ultimately, Janet had more points left by the time the timer ran out. As a result, she was declared the winner of the Rustboro Contest, earning her third [[Ribbon]]. Throughout the competition, May was amazed by the performances and the different kind of battling, inspiring her to become a Pokémon Coordinator. | |||
In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} attended the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] and first met [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro [[Gym Leader]] and Trainers' School headmistress. [[Max]] spent much of his short time attending the school with {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}}, {{OBP|Kenny|AG015}}, and [[Anita]]. Later, all the Beginner Class students and Roxanne helped defeat {{TRT}}. | |||
In ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', Ash faced Roxanne at the Rustboro Gym. After a gruelling match, during which Pikachu managed to master Iron Tail, Ash emerged victorious and earned his first [[Hoenn League]] [[Badge]]. The match was filmed by some of Roxanne's students to become a learning resource at the Rustboro Trainers' School. | |||
In ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'', Max spilled soda on the [[PokéNav]], causing it to malfunction. While attempting to avoid {{an|May}} so she wouldn't find out, Max bumped into [[Mr. Stone]], who agreed to fix the PokéNav and take him on a guided tour through his company, the [[Devon Corporation]]. During the tour, Mr. Stone and Max spotted a mysterious scientist, later revealed to be a {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}, who stole two capsules from the [[Fossil]] restoration lab. The thief was eventually cornered by Mr. Stone, Ash, and his friends, with Team Rocket inadvertently causing the grunt to lose the stolen goods. While the thief managed to escape, Max was able to recover the tubes for Mr. Stone. | |||
[[File:Rustboro City anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Rustboro City in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']] | |||
In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'', Ash and his friends visited the desolate harbor of Rustboro City to take a boat to [[Dewford Town]]. After missing the morning service boat, the group decided to wait for the afternoon ferry. During that time, the group re-encountered the Team Aqua Grunt from the Devon Corporation heist, who hoped to take [[Mr. Briney]]'s boat and make his getaway. The grunt took Mr. Briney's {{p|Wingull}}, [[nickname]]d [[Peeko]], as a hostage. While Mr. Briney recovered Peeko using his other boat, the S.S. Wingull, the grunt escaped with Mr. Briney's boat. Afterwards, he was recovered by his fellow grunts, who were waiting out at sea with a submarine. As a reward for their assistance, Mr. Briney escorted Ash and his friends to Dewford Island. | |||
Much of Rustboro City is tall buildings and thriving, but its seaport and the neighboring suburb appear derelict. In ''On a Wingull and a Prayer!'', May was particularly disappointed to learn that the famous "Rustboro City Pasta" restaurant was closed up. Rustboro's coastline is largely open water, with sharp rocks like Triangle Rock further out. | |||

Rustboro City appeared again in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', where [[Alain]], [[Mairin]], and {{Steven}} arrived there, following the energy signature of the [[Giant Rock|giant rock]] they had [[XYS02|previously]] encountered. [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}} also followed the energy, and clashed with each other just off the coast of Rustboro City.

Rustboro City Gym - Hoenn Gym #1
| |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
Location Location of Rustboro City in Hoenn. |
Rustboro City (Japanese: カナズミシティ Kanazumi City) is a metropolis located in western Hoenn. It is the fourth-largest city in Hoenn, after Mauville City, Lilycove City and Slateport City. Rustboro City has an unusual yet unique cityscape in the Hoenn region. The buildings' architectures are designed with stones, giving it an old-town feeling.
According to the Cutter's daughter, Rustboro was expanded to accommodate its growing size with the help of the Cutter's Pokémon which cleared the trees. The Devon Corporation is headquartered in the northwest side of the city. The first Gym is located here with Roxanne as the Gym Leader.
Slogan
The city probing the integration of nature and science. (Japanese: しぜんと かがくの ゆうごうを ついきゅうする まち The city probing the integration of nature and science.)
Places of interest
Devon Corporation
- Main article: Devon Corporation
Rustboro serves as the establishment for the Devon Corporation, a company which makes many items for Pokémon Trainers. The company headquarters is located in the northwest corner of the city, and takes the appearance of a large, old-fashioned looking building. A sign outside reads:
Apart from developing improved and innovative items, the company also revives Pokémon from Fossils. The Devon Corporation's workers are also attempting to build impossible machines such as one that can transform people into Pokémon. In the south section of the town is an apartment complex for Devon employees.
Cutter's house
A Cutter lives near the Pokémon Center with his daughter.
When the city of Rustboro was undergoing expansion, the Cutter had his Pokémon use Cut to help clear the land of trees. He will give the player HM01 (Cut). According to May/Brendan, he has a younger brother in Mauville City, which is the person that gives out HM06 (Rock Smash) in Generation III.
In-game trade
A house hosting an in-game trade is located next to the Gym in Rustboro City. By talking to a little kid, the player is given the option to make an in-game trade. In Ruby and Sapphire and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player trades a Slakoth for a Makuhita. Makuhita is nicknamed Makit and is holding an X Attack. In Emerald, the player trades a Ralts (found on Route 102) for a Seedot. Seedot is nicknamed Dots and is holding a Chesto Berry.
Pokémon Trainers' School
- Main article: Pokémon Trainers' School
The Pokémon Trainers' School is located east of the Pokémon Center. A sign outside reads:
Inside are five students and a teacher, who gives the player the Quick Claw. Talking to the students also reveals helpful information. Behind the teacher is the blackboard with the list of status conditions (Poison, Burn, Freeze, Paralysis, and Sleep) that may affect Pokémon in a battle. In Pokémon the Series, Roxanne, the local Gym Leader, runs the school.
Walda's house
In Pokémon Emerald, a sad young girl named Walda lives between the Pokémon Center and the Devon Corporation building. If the proper 'funny' word is given to her caretaker, she will reward the player with a new wallpaper for the Pokémon Storage System.
Rustboro Gym
- Main article: Rustboro Gym
Rustboro Gym is the first Gym a player must face in the Hoenn region. It is located in the northern part of Rustboro, east of the Devon Corporation. The sign outside reads:
The Gym Leader is Roxanne, who specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. The Stone Badge is awarded for defeating Roxanne. The Gym is a maze; there are two paths, one path which battles the Gym Trainers, while the other path lets the players go through without battling.
Role
Delta Episode
During the Delta Episode, after receiving Steven's call in Petalburg City, Steven will be waiting outside the Devon Corporation building in Rustboro City for the player, escorting the player to Mr. Stone's office when they arrive.
In his office, Mr. Stone tells the player about the history of the Devon Corporation, then asks the player to retrieve a Meteorite Shard from Granite Cave. Throughout the Delta Episode, Mr. Stone mentions where Steven has most recently headed to.
After listening to Zinnia's grandmother at Meteor Falls, Steven heads to the Devon Corporation building in Rustboro City. When the player arrives there, a scientist runs out the front door, running away from a Team MagmaOR/AquaAS Grunt. That grunt then challenges the player, followed by a second and third grunt, all of whom run away after their own defeat. After defeating the third grunt, the scientist reveals that the device to control the Link Cable was stolen by CourtneyOR/MattAS and that Steven has headed off to the Mossdeep Space Center.
Demographics

Pokémon the Series
Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire
Rustboro City debuted in All Things Bright and Beautifly!, where Ash and his friends arrived at the Rustboro Contest Hall, located in its southern outskirts, and discovered that a Pokémon Contest was scheduled to take place there in just a few hours. After a meeting with Janet and Chaz, two skilled Pokémon Coordinators, they learned about the proceedings of the competition and decided to enter. However, the receptionist was not accepting new entries as the event had already reached the maximum number of contestants allowed. Nonetheless, they received a Contest Pass each and decided to watch the Contest, with May and Max agreeing to work as Janet's assistants. During that Contest, Ash started teaching his Pikachu to use Iron Tail in preparation for taking on the Rustboro Gym after seeing Chaz's Sentret demonstrate the move.
In addition to Janet and Chaz, Jessie also entered the Contest, but failed to even get past the Appeals Round due to trying to get her Seviper to use moves it didn't know. Both Janet and Chaz got through the Appeals Round and went on to face each other in the finals of the Battle Round. The two had a close battle, but ultimately, Janet had more points left by the time the timer ran out. As a result, she was declared the winner of the Rustboro Contest, earning her third Ribbon. Throughout the competition, May was amazed by the performances and the different kind of battling, inspiring her to become a Pokémon Coordinator.
In Gonna Rule The School!, Ash and his friends attended the Pokémon Trainers' School and first met Roxanne, the Rustboro Gym Leader and Trainers' School headmistress. Max spent much of his short time attending the school with Tommy, Kenny, and Anita. Later, all the Beginner Class students and Roxanne helped defeat Team Rocket.
In The Winner by a Nosepass, Ash faced Roxanne at the Rustboro Gym. After a gruelling match, during which Pikachu managed to master Iron Tail, Ash emerged victorious and earned his first Hoenn League Badge. The match was filmed by some of Roxanne's students to become a learning resource at the Rustboro Trainers' School.
In Stairway to Devon, Max spilled soda on the PokéNav, causing it to malfunction. While attempting to avoid May so she wouldn't find out, Max bumped into Mr. Stone, who agreed to fix the PokéNav and take him on a guided tour through his company, the Devon Corporation. During the tour, Mr. Stone and Max spotted a mysterious scientist, later revealed to be a Team Aqua Grunt, who stole two capsules from the Fossil restoration lab. The thief was eventually cornered by Mr. Stone, Ash, and his friends, with Team Rocket inadvertently causing the grunt to lose the stolen goods. While the thief managed to escape, Max was able to recover the tubes for Mr. Stone.
In On a Wingull and a Prayer!, Ash and his friends visited the desolate harbor of Rustboro City to take a boat to Dewford Town. After missing the morning service boat, the group decided to wait for the afternoon ferry. During that time, the group re-encountered the Team Aqua Grunt from the Devon Corporation heist, who hoped to take Mr. Briney's boat and make his getaway. The grunt took Mr. Briney's Wingull, nicknamed Peeko, as a hostage. While Mr. Briney recovered Peeko using his other boat, the S.S. Wingull, the grunt escaped with Mr. Briney's boat. Afterwards, he was recovered by his fellow grunts, who were waiting out at sea with a submarine. As a reward for their assistance, Mr. Briney escorted Ash and his friends to Dewford Island.
Much of Rustboro City is tall buildings and thriving, but its seaport and the neighboring suburb appear derelict. In On a Wingull and a Prayer!, May was particularly disappointed to learn that the famous "Rustboro City Pasta" restaurant was closed up. Rustboro's coastline is largely open water, with sharp rocks like Triangle Rock further out.
Pokémon the Series: XY
Rustboro City appeared again in Mega Evolution Special III, where Alain, Mairin, and Steven arrived there, following the energy signature of the giant rock they had previously encountered. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre also followed the energy, and clashed with each other just off the coast of Rustboro City. The battle was eventually stopped by Rayquaza, although the giant rock was taken away by Lysandre's submarine to be studied at Lysandre Labs.

Ruby & Sapphire arc
Rustboro City first appeared in Blowing Past Nosepass I, where Sapphire arrived there in order to challenge the Rustboro Gym. After passing the exam required to challenge the Gym Leader, Sapphire was allowed to challenge Roxanne. After emerging victorious and earning the Stone Badge, Sapphire headed to Dewford Town by sea on the back of her Wailord in Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt! I.
In I More Than Like You, Luvdisc I, Ruby, Gabby, and Ty were revealed to have passed through Rustboro City on their way to Fallarbor Town.

Trivia
- As Hoenn coincides with Kyushu, Rustboro coincides approximately with Fukuoka and Kitakyushu.
- Rustboro City is very similar to Saffron City of Kanto and Jubilife City of Sinnoh. All three cities are home to their region's corporate giants.
- It is also similar to Pewter City of Kanto and Goldenrod City of Johto. Their geographic locations to their regions are very remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest during the beginning of the games. Rustboro is more like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a Gym, but first to be beaten by the player. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in Rock-type Pokémon, and play a role in the player obtaining Fossil Pokémon.
- In Pokémon Emerald, May or Brendan will normally battle the player when they go south to Route 104 after rescuing Peeko at Rusturf Tunnel. This interaction can be skipped by using Teleport or blacking out if the last used healing spot was not Rustboro City's Pokémon Center, as the player would therefore be teleported to a different town or city. However, if this is done, then May or Brendan will instead battle the player on Route 104 (with the same team), when the player attempts to enter Mr. Briney's house.
- In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is an Easter egg findable in Rustboro City, involving the Ace Trainer who gives the player a Float Stone. After giving it to the player, he will explain its effect of halving the holder's weight. If the player then leaves and re-enters the floor, the Ace Trainer has turned into a Hiker, who tells that he has put on a lot of weight recently for some reason.
