'''Orre''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|オーレ地方|オーレちほう}}''' ''Ōre-chihō'') is the setting of the [[Generation III]] side series games [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. In other games, Pokémon obtained in Orre are listed as being met in a '''distant land''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|遠く離れた土地|とおくはなれたとち}}''' ''distant land'').

Orre has no [[wild Pokémon]] in Pokémon Colosseum, and has only a few starting to pop up in specific locations, known as [[Poké Spots]], in Pokémon XD. In these circumstances, {{Pkmn|Trainer}}s use Pokémon imported from regions of the [[Pokémon nation]], primarily [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]]. Pokémon battles are, for the most part, played in Double Battle style with the Trainers putting two Pokémon out each. There is no form of a Pokémon League in Orre, but rather, a variety of facilities which offer consecutive battles. However, [[Michael]] wanting to start his Pokémon journey when he comes of age would imply that there is at least something similar to a [[Pokémon League]] in Orre, if not an actual Pokémon League.

Cipher then proceeds to the northwest corner of Orre, where a facility called the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]] resides. Upon arrival, they abduct the lab's chief researcher, [[Professor Krane]], in an attempt to use his research for their own evil plans. Having witnessed the kidnapping, a young Trainer named Michael follows Cipher to an abandoned lab and rescued Krane.

Knowing that Cipher has to be stopped, Micheal set off on a journey to save Orre. Armed with a Snag Machine built by Krane and his Pokémon {{p|Eevee}}, Micheal rescues and purifies Cipher's newest breed of Shadow Pokémon, does battle with their devious admins to shut down their operations, and even wins the trust of Team Snagem, who seeks to destroy Cipher and prove that they are the greatest criminals in all of Orre.

Eventually, Michael trailed Cipher to the main headquarters on [[Citadark Isle]], where the organization's Grand Master [[Greevil]] and his twin bodyguards (and sons) [[Ardos]] and [[Eldes]] welcomed him by summoning XD001. Michael proves too skilled and snags XD001 with the rest of Greevil's Shadow Pokémon, and he responds by attempting to blow up the island. Though [[Ardos]] encourages him to go through with it, [[Eldes]] steps in and pleads with Greevil to accept defeat graciously. Greevil agrees and leaves with Eldes, while Ardos leaves in anger. With Cipher presumed disbanded with Greevil's defeat, Michael proceeds to rescue the remaining Shadow Pokémon and purify the "unpurifiable" XD001.

==Geography==
==Geography==
This region is noticeably arid, being divided into a huge desert wasteland and a small, mountainous green region. In the center is [[Mt. Battle]], a dormant volcano where Trainers go to sharpen their skills. Orre has very few settlements in it due to the dry climate. Its largest city, [[Phenac City]], is located in Orre's harshest environment. There is a [[Gateon Port|lively port]] to the southwest of Orre, which is presumably how it keeps its connections with the other regions, using ships such as the [[S.S. Libra]]. Despite its environmental problems, it is one of the most advanced regions in terms of [[Shadow Pokémon|science]] and [[Realgam Tower|architecture]]. Due to the rough terrain, it is not known if there are any connecting [[routes]]. Wild Pokémon are very rare, appearing only a handful of [[Poké Spot|spots]] throughout the whole region. The map in Pokémon Colosseum was retconned in Pokémon XD, before seemingly being landlocked while the XD map has a sea or ocean to the west.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Orre is one of only two regions to have more than one crime syndicate plaguing the region, the other being [[Hoenn]].
** Both of these regions debuted in [[Generation III]].
* The Pokémon Center in Phenac City is the only Pokémon Center in the region that has a [[trade]] center.
* The Pokémon Center in Phenac City is the only Pokémon Center in the region that has a [[trade]] center.
* Orre is the only region not to be explored in any of the handheld games, unless one counts the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange]] and [[Decolore Islands]], which have not been shown to be in any game at all to this day.
* On the map of Orre in Pokémon Colosseum, what appear to be a number of regions (at least nine) can be seen bordering Orre.
