Mossdeep Space Center: Difference between revisions

{{incomplete|2=Missing other languages section}}

|japanese_name=トクサネうちゅうセンター

The '''Mossdeep Space Center''' (Japanese: '''トクサネうちゅうセンター''' ''{{tt|Tokusane|Mossdeep}} Space Center'') is located in [[Mossdeep City]]. This destination was chosen because of Mossdeep's ideal weather, clear and sunny with stable winds. The Space Center successfully sends rockets into space, though specifics of the space missions are unknown. There is a white rock outside which holds a special meaning to the people at the space center; it is a symbol of their wish for their rockets to fly safely. It is analogous to the {{wp|Tanegashima Space Center}}.

Many scientists work here and are dedicated to the rocket launches' success. The Space Center contains many blueprints of rockets, machines and computers, and has two accessible floors. The Mossdeep Space Center has little to do with the storyline in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

The Space Center in Mossdeep plays a much larger role in {{game|Emerald}}. After failing to take control of {{p|Groudon}}, [[Team Magma]] tries to obtain the rocket fuel there to use to make [[Mt. Chimney]] erupt. Team Magma sends a letter to the Space Center, informing them that Team Magma will take the rocket fuel, causing a panic. After earning the {{badge|Mind}} at [[Mossdeep Gym]], Team Magma attacks the center, and the player must enter the Space Center and defeat all of the {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s on the first floor in order to go to the second floor. On the second floor, the {{player}} meets up with [[Steven Stone]] and pairs up with him to [[Double Battle]] against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].

In the games, a man by the window will reveal the number of successful launches there have been; the number is an indicator to the number of weeks since the saved game was begun. Because this is a time-based event, the Space Center will cease to launch Rockets when the battery for the internal clock runs dry.

Many rumors have been spread about this number and its relation to {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}. Many believe that if the man reaches a certain number, the player will be able to ride a rocket into space and battle Jirachi or Deoxys. Like the {{DL|S.S. Anne|Rumors|truck rumors}} of Generation I, this rumor is false.

In ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} visit the Space Center in search of the Mossdeep Gym Leaders [[Tate and Liza]], but they find that a rocket is about to launch. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} tries to steal a rocket from the Space Center, but their plan is stopped with Tate and Liza's help.

In the anime, the Space Center contains many training machines for astronauts, such as a moon walker to simulate walking on the moon in low gravity and the MAT (multi-axis Trainer) that spins people around.

[[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] of Team Magma raided the Mossdeep Space Center in {{PAV|20}} of the Pokémon Adventures manga. In there, she collected information that would be passed on to {{adv|Ruby}} two volumes later.

In {{PAV|25}}, [[Sird]] of Team Rocket revealed that cylinders containing two life forms (both of which grew into {{p|Deoxys}} later on), were guarded in the Mossdeep Space Center. After Courtney had raided the building, Sird managed to smuggle the cylinders away, and left it to the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Elite Trio]] of Team Rocket to transport them back to their base in [[Kanto]].
