'''Fuchsia City''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|セキチクシティ|Sekichiku Shiti}}''' ''Sekichiku City'') is a city located in southwest [[Kanto]]. Its most distinguishing features are the {{safari|Kanto}} in the [[Generation]] {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}} games and the {{type|Poison}} [[Gym]]. [[Koga]] is the Fuchsia City [[Gym Leader]] until his daughter [[Janine]] takes over in the [[Generation]] {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}} games.

[[Bill's grandfather]] lives in Fuchsia City. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}} is located near the city.

In [[Generation II]], the {{safari|Kanto}} is closed down. In the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Generation IV remakes}}, [[Pal Park]] replaces the closed-down {{safari|Kanto}}.

The Safari Zone is a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} preserve where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can enter to capture certain types of Pokémon. It is owned by the [[Baoba|Warden]].

For {{PDollar}}500, the {{player}} will receive 30 {{ball|Safari}}s. With a large area to cover, Trainers must plan out their destination so as to arrive in time to capture all the Pokémon they want.

When a [[wild Pokémon]] appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it: catching Pokémon here, as in all Safari Zones, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: Throw a Safari Ball, throw Bait, throw a Rock, and run away. Throwing Bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch; while throwing a Rock does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run.

During [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{Gen|III}}, however, a sweepstakes is taking place to find a hidden house deep in the Safari Zone, called the Secret House. The winner of the sweepstakes receives {{HM|03|Surf}}. During [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{Gen|IV}} the Safari Zone is not open. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} only, the Kanto [[Pal Park]] takes its place.

Safari Zone Warden [[Baoba]] is the man in charge of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. His house is located on the south-eastern side of the city. He lives in a cottage next to the [[Pokémon Center]]. The locals of Fuchsia nicknamed the Warden "Slowpoke" because he has a vacant look similar to that seen on a {{p|Slowpoke}}. He's actually very knowledgeable about Pokémon, which should only be natural as taking care of the Safari Zone {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is part of his job. He has a collection of rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. He has recently lost his false teeth in the Safari Zone and has become unable to speak clearly. If the protagonist of the Kanto [[Generation I]] or [[Generation III]] games returns his teeth to him, he'll give them {{HM|04|Strength}}. [[Wild Pokémon]] appear in the city in a pond behind the Warden's house.  

He also runs a promotion in the Safari Zone. Pokémon Trainers who find the Secret House on the grounds are given {{HM|03|Surf}}. It's probable that he's friends with [[Koga]], as the [[Gym Leader]] patrols the grounds of the Safari Zone to keep things safe. Koga's daughter, [[Janine]], also trains just outside of the Safari Zone.

In [[Generation II]], the Warden has left on a trip, so the Safari Zone has been shut down and most of the exclusive Pokémon have been moved to adjacent Routes. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, however, the park's closing led to the opening of a [[Pal Park]]. It's also in these games that the Warden's name is revealed to be Baoba. Wishing to maintain the Safari Game, Baoba opens {{safari|Johto|another Safari Zone}} in [[Johto]].

===Move deleter===

[[File:MovedeleterFRLG.png|thumb|200px|Move deleter]]

In [[Generation III]], a [[Move Deleter]] resides in a house in Fuchsia City that cannot be accessed in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, or {{gen|IV}}, next to the city's [[Pokémon Center]]. The Move Deleter is a very forgetful man who lives alone. For no charge, he will make a Pokémon forget a [[move]] that it knows, provided that the move is not the only move which that Pokémon knows. He is the only way for a Pokémon to forget [[HM]] moves such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Fly}}.

A Pokémon zoo is located in Fuchsia City, just outside the Safari Zone. However, it is closed, like the Safari Zone, in Generations II and IV. There are Pokémon on display, including {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Slowpoke}}. In addition, the [[Fossil]] that the player "shares" with the {{tc|Super Nerd}} in [[Mt. Moon]] appears here as well. It will be a {{p|Kabuto}} if the player chose the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Helix Fossil]], and an {{p|Omanyte}} if the player chose the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]].

[[File:Fuchsia Gym FRLG.png|thumb|200px|Fuchsia Gym]]

The Fuchsia Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Fuchsia City. It is based on {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}, the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Koga]]. However, by [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Gym Leader's duties have been taken up by Koga's daughter, [[Janine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who are victorious at this Gym may receive the {{Badge|Soul}}. The Fuchsia Gym can be difficult to navigate, as both Koga and Janine have installed invisible walls. Janine has added a further step to the puzzle, as the other Trainers in the Gym all look like her. A field based on the Gym also appears in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]]. If playing the [[Generation I]] games on a normal [[Game Boy]], the walls are invisible. However, when using a multi-colored palette on the [[Game Boy Color]], [[Game Boy Advance]] or [[Game Boy Advance SP]], these walls are exposed.

Three years from [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} to [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}}, the city has changed quite dramatically. The Pokémon Zoo has closed down, transforming the northern half of the city into a grassy plain, only accessible by the use of {{m|Cut}}. There is also a small area in the northwestern part of the city, that contains a {{DL|Berry (Generation II)|Burnt Berry}}.  

===In Pokémon Pinball===

[[File:Fuchsia City anime 1.png|thumb|left|200px|Fuchsia City in the alternate present]]

[[File:Fuchsia City anime 2.png|thumb|200px|Fuchsia City in the anime]]

[[File:Fuchsia City past anime.png|200px|thumb|Fuchsia City in the past]]

Even though {{Ash}} won the {{badge|Soul}} at the [[Fuchsia Gym]], it was located outside of Fuchsia City itself, thus resulting the city itself not being visited at the time.

Fuchsia City itself made its first anime appearance in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', where it depicted as a deserted, dark-looking place. {{an|May}} ended up chasing after her wandering {{TP|May|Squirtle}}, leading her to an abandoned railway station. There she discovered an old woman named [[Edna]], who told her that she was awaiting for her husband, {{ka|Jonathan}}, to return, even though the trains didn't use the station anymore and she had once received a letter telling that Jonathan has died in an accident.

From Edna's granddaughter, {{bf|Katrina}}, May heard that Edna and Jonathan had once held a [[Pokémon breeding]] Center in Fuchsia City, until Jonathan had suggested them to leave for a while so he could study to become a doctor. Edna, however, had been unwilling to leave her hometown, so Jonathan left to the train station by himself, leaving behind a letter telling of his decision. After reading the letter, Edna had rushed to the station, intending to convince Jonathan to stay, for she, unbeknownst by Jonathan, was carrying a child. Unfortunately, she bumped into a {{tc|Gentleman}} on the way, preventing her from reaching Jonathan in time. Even though she got a letter a year later telling of Jonathan's death, she still came to the station every day to wait for his return, refusing to believe that her husband was gone.

Afterwards, May, Squirtle, and {{MTR}} found the pendant Edna had lost back when Jonathan had left. Suddenly the pendant started to glow, and May, Squirtle, and Meowth soon found themselves in the past, back at the day when Jonathan had left Edna. Not wanting the lovers to lose each other, May used her Squirtle's {{m|Ice Beam}} to change the falling rain into a snowfall, delaying the train's departure enough for Edna to reach Jonathan in time and convince him to stay. Just then, the pendant started to glow again, and May, Squirtle, and Meowth were sent back to the present, where their actions in the past had had dramatic results: the town was no longer deserted and dark, but lively and light, with even the train station still being in use. Just then, Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] arrived, telling May that her {{pkmn|Egg}} was about to hatch. When she went with the others to see her Egg at the Pokémon Center, she was surprised to see Edna, Jonathan, and Katrina, who were now working together as Pokémon {{wp|pediatrics|pediatricians}}. Due to the past having changed, neither Edna or Katrina remembered May. Due to May, Squirtle, and Meowth being the only ones having traveled through time, they were the only ones to know about the alternate present.

Later at that night, after May's Egg had hatched into an {{TP|May|Eevee}}, Ash, company, Edna, Jonathan, and Katrina witnessed {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}} dancing around a tree in the middle of the city, something that the alternate present had lacked.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===

In the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} travel to Fuchsia City in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. They arrive during the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival, where they are reunited with {{an|Misty}}.

Ash participates in the [[Fuchsia Free-For-All Race]] on behalf of [[Lara Laramie]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Fuchsia City made a brief appearance at the end of ''[[PS020|Meanwhile... Vileplume!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Janine]] can be found behind the zoo saying that she is training to become the [[Gym Leader]]. Her name in the [[Fame Checker]] is erroneously listed as "Charine" in the English versions.

* In [[Generation I]], if the {{ga|Red|player}} [[cheating|cheats]] to access the area with the Pokémon in the pens and talk with them, the Pokémon will answer "!" instead of their [[cry]]. This is because they don't have a talk event defined, so the games provide placeholder text as a replacement.

* Fuchsia City did not appear in the anime until ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'' in the Battle Frontier saga, despite the Gym appearing in the [[original series]].
