Petalburg City: Difference between revisions

|image=Petalburg City E.png

'''Petalburg City''' (Japanese: '''トウカシティ''' ''Touka City'') is located in southwestern [[Hoenn]]. Despite Petalburg being the first city with a [[Gym]], the Gym is not accessible until after obtaining four Badges. [[Norman]], the father of the {{player}}s, is also the Petalburg [[Gym Leader]].

When a {{player}} first arrives at this city and talks to [[Norman]], a boy named {{ga|Wally}} will come in asking for help to catch a Pokémon. Using {{p|Zigzagoon}}, a Pokémon Norman lends, and the player's support, Wally catches his first Pokémon: a {{p|Ralts}}. The [[Pokémon Center]] has a man near the PC who will let players put key words on their {{ga|Trainer Card}}s.

The Petalburg Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Petalburg City.  It is based on {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Norman]]. Norman is the father of the {{player}} in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. He uses {{type|Normal}} Pokémon and gives out the {{Badge|Balance}}. Between the entrance and Gym Leader [[Norman]] are a series of rooms, each containing a Trainer. The Trainers have special ways to battle, as displayed on the doors leading to their rooms. They include One-Hit KO Room, Accuracy Room, Attack Room, Defense Room, Speed Room, and Recovery Room. Once three rooms in a row are completed, they can access the Gym Leader Room with Norman. When defeated, Norman will give the player the {{Badge|Balance}} as well as {{TM|42|Facade}} as a reward.
