'''Fallarbor Town''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ハジツゲタウン}}''' ''Hazitsuge Town''<ref>Pokémon Center Original Souvenir Jacket pokémon time Rayquaza ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190707084920/https://www.pokemon.jp/info/pokecen/detail/20180810_16288.html Daisuki Club], [https://www.amazon.co.jp/ポケモンセンターオリジナル-スカジャン-pokémon-time-レックウザ/dp/B07GQSGMMH Amazon])</ref>) is a small farming community in northwest [[Hoenn]]. It is extremely close to [[Mt. Chimney]], so much that the ash from the volcano constantly falls near the town.

To the west of the town is {{rt|114|Hoenn}} and the [[Fossil Maniac]]'s house, and to the east is {{rt|113|Hoenn}}. In the fields of Fallarbor, the locals plant seedlings of hardy trees that thrive even in volcanic ash.

 

==Places of interest==

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the [[Rank (Contest)|Super Rank]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s are held here. Only [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s who have won a [[List of Ribbons in the games#Hoenn Contest Ribbons|Contest Ribbon]] in [[Verdanturf Town]] are allowed to compete. A sign outside the building reads:

 

{{sign|RS|header}}

{{sign|RS|title|Pokémon Contests}}

{{sign|RS|title|Super Rank Registration}}

{{sign|RS|"Burst on to the <sc>Pokémon</sc> scene!"}}

{{sign|RS|footer}}

 

In {{game|Emerald}}, the Contest Hall is replaced with a Battle Tent, with all Pokémon Contests having moved to [[Lilycove City]]. It is themed after the [[Battle Arena]] in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. A sign outside the building reads:

 

{{sign|E|header}}

{{sign|E|title|Battle Tent Fallarbor Site}}

{{sign|E|"May the Greatest Teams Gather!"}}

{{sign|E|footer}}

The house of the Move Reminder is located on the west edge of the town. He will teach a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} any [[move]] that it could have previously learned through [[level]]-up for the price of a [[Heart Scale]]. The sign outside reads:

{{sign|E|header}}

{{sign|E|title|Move Tutor's house}}

{{sign|E|"New moves taught to <sc>Pokémon</sc>."}}

{{sign|E|footer}}

On the south side of the town is [[Professor Cozmo]]'s house, where he studies meteorites. He is not home at first but will be there after the events at [[Meteor Falls]]. In [[Generation III]], Professor Cozmo will trade {{TM|27|Return}} for a [[Meteorite]]. Next to his house is what appears to be a modestly-sized meteor crater, which hides a [[Nugget]]. In [[Generation VI]], his house contains a meteorite that can be interacted with to allow {{p|Deoxys}} to cycle through its various {{form|Deoxys|Formes}}.

 

In {{game|Emerald}}, inside the Poké Mart there is a woman who will teach a compatible Pokémon {{m|Metronome}} one time only.

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the population of Fallarbor Town is 23.

 

In {{game|Emerald}}, the population of Fallarbor Town is 22.

 

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the population of Fallarbor Town is 26.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in Fallarbor Town in ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]'', where they met {{ho|Grace}}, a skilled [[Pokémon Coordinator]] with three [[Ribbon]]s already under her belt. At first, {{an|May}} was excited for her second [[Pokémon Contest]] and confident that she would win. However, she became nervous after seeing just how experienced Grace was.

 

Noticing this, Grace decided to show May one of her [[Contest combination|combinations]]. She sent out her {{p|Medicham}} and asked it to show off its [[move]]s, impressing May who had never considered combining attacks before. This inspired May to {{pkmn|training|practice}} with her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, but she could not decide which moves would work well together and Beautifly ended up getting tangled in its own {{m|String Shot}}.

 

In ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', May, Grace, Drew, and [[Jessie|Jessica]] all competed in the Fallarbor Town Pokémon Contest. For the [[Appeal|first round]], May had Beautifly spinning while using {{m|Silver Wind}}, a performance that placed her among the four Coordinators advancing to the [[Contest Battle]]s. There, she defeated Jessica to reach the final round, where she found herself up against Grace. The two fought a hard battle, with Grace's Medicham using Beautifly's String Shot to its advantage and encasing Beautifly in ice with an {{m|Ice Punch}}. However, May was able to lend a few direct hits and use some effective combinations, eventually winning the match and obtaining her very first Ribbon.

 

 

Fallarbor Town first appeared in ''[[PS223|I More Than Like You, Luvdisc I]]'', where {{adv|Ruby}}, [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby, and Ty]] traveled there by the [[TV Mauville|Hoenn TV]] car. Although Gabby and Ty initially served to transport Ruby during his quest for the [[Pokémon Contest]] [[Ribbon]]s, during their visit, they realized that [[Professor Cozmo]], who lived in Fallarbor Town, could hold the answers they sought. They decided to interview Cozmo, only to see that Cozmo was not at his lab. His three aides confirmed the disruption of the balance between land and sea after [[Team Aqua]] had ended the volcanic activity at [[Mt. Chimney]], and were awaiting [[Wallace]] who had visited Fallarbor to discuss the findings.

 

Meanwhile, Ruby participated in Pokémon Contests at the Fallarbor [[Contest Hall]] and saw Wallace for the first time as he aimed to complete the [[Rank (Contest)|Super Rank]] set of Ribbons. Out of jealousy, he challenged Wallace to an impromptu Contest, only to lose. Ruby then offered to be a student of Wallace, promising to win the Super Rank {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}} Contest to be seen as worthy. Once Wallace arrived at Cozmo's lab, the three aides revealed that the information they collected had not been broadcast to the public. Gabby phoned [[Archie|her boss]] for an explanation, and he suggested that such a broadcast could spread fear and panic. Gabby and Ty thus set off for [[Lilycove City]] for more answers while Ruby followed Wallace to the Hoenn [[Gym Leader]]s' emergency meeting at [[Fortree City]].

 

In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', the Fallarbor Contest Hall, destroyed during the weather crisis caused by {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}, was revealed to have been rebuilt as a [[Battle Tent]], though it still maintained the function of hosting Pokémon Contests.
