Location
Location of Verdanturf Town in Hoenn.
|
Verdanturf Town (Japanese: シダケタウン Shidake Town) is a small, quaint town nestled between the mountains and the plains in central western Hoenn.
Wally is sent to live here with his aunt, uncle, and cousin Wanda in order to improve his health. This town is well known for its very clean air. The town features a Contest Hall in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. However, the Contest Hall is replaced with a Battle Tent in Pokémon Emerald.
There are two ways out of Verdanturf. To the east is Route 117 towards Mauville City. To the north is the Rusturf Tunnel, which was being constructed to link Rustboro City and Verdanturf. However, the construction disturbed the local Whismur who lived in the tunnel, and so it was canceled. Wanda's boyfriend tried to dig the tunnel himself, but was unable to do it. After the player character of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald gets the Dynamo Badge, he or she can use Rock Smash to complete the tunnel and open a path to Route 116.

Ruby, having arrived from the Weather Institute to Verdanturf with Gabby and Ty, starts his Pokémon Contest conquest in Volume 18. It was then revealed, at the end of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, that the Contest Hall was severely damaged following the incident involving Kyogre and Groudon, and a Battle Tent was set up in its place.
Wally, who had been in Verdanturf with his cousin Wanda to improve his health, left the town before Ruby arrived.
