Phenac City (Japanese: フェナスシティPhenace City) is a small city built around a desert oasis in southeast Orre. The entire city is surrounded by a wall that keeps out the harsh desert winds. Most of the buildings within Phenac are built of stone. In the center of town there is a large, ornamental fountain that serves as both decoration and a rich display of Phenac's water supply.
The inhabitants of Phenac are generally good-natured folk; however, they are very suspicious of the citizens of Pyrite Town. Gossip about the criminals of Pyrite Town is always a popular topic, so people who announce that they come from Pyrite are met with suspicion.
The presence of the Pre Gym and Phenac Stadium has instilled a deep interest in Pokémon training amongst the residents of Phenac. Many Trainers prepare their Pokémon so that they can challenge Justy or compete in the nearest Colosseum.
The mayor's house is located to the west of the Pre Gym.
In Pokémon Colosseum, Bluno, Rosso, and Verde also appear here, blocking the three exits: the main entrance, the entrance close to Mayor Es Cade's house, and the one across Mayor Es Cade's entrance.
In the very northern area of Phenac is Phenac Stadium, a giant dome-shaped Colosseum containing several gigantic waterfalls within its walls. The stadium was closed after Realgam Tower opened a short distance west of Phenac; however, some Trainers still come to the stadium's floor in search of battles. In Pokémon XD, the abandoned stadium was used by Cipher as a hideout during their attempt to take over Phenac City.
The Prestige Precept Center, known locally as the Pre Gym, is located in the north-central area of town, is the closest equivalent to a Pokémon Gym in Orre. The first floor contains an instructing area as well as a Pokémon battle arena. The basement contains a series of simulated habitats (grassland, pond, rocks, and desert) ideal for training Pokémon to adapt to various areas.
During the invasion, Cipher Peons will take the place of many of Phenac City's citizens. All female peons will be disguised as Beauties, while the majority of male peons will be disguised as Casual Dudes. Exceptions include Forgs, who is masquerading as the Athlete usually seen running around the fountain, and Kapen, who is disguised as a Poké Mart shopkeeper. Defeating Kapen will unlock the Poké Mart.
After exiting the Mayor's house, the player will see six Justies exit the Pre Gym. The Justies are actually the Hexagon Brothers, and can be battled for a one Battle CD each, and if possible, a second shot at their Shadow Pokémon. For more details on their teams, see their main page.
