'''Rustboro City''' (Japanese: '''{{j|カナズミシティ}}''' ''Kanazumi City'') is a metropolis located in western [[Hoenn]]. It is the fourth largest city in Hoenn, after [[Mauville City]], [[Lilycove City]] and [[Slateport City]]. Rustboro City has an unusual yet unique cityscape in the Hoenn region. The buildings' architectures are designed with stones, giving it an old-town feeling.


According to the Cutter's daughter, Rustboro was expanded to accommodate its growing size with the help of the Cutter's Pokémon which cleared the trees. The [[Devon Corporation]] is headquartered in the northwest side of the city. The first Gym is located here with [[Roxanne]] as the [[Gym Leader]].

In his office, Mr. Stone tells the player about the history of the Devon Corporation, then asks the player to retrieve a [[Meteorite Shard]] from [[Granite Cave]]. Throughout the Delta Episode, Mr. Stone mentions where Steven has most recently headed to.
In his office, Mr. Stone tells the player about the history of the Devon Corporation, then asks the player to retrieve a [[Meteorite Shard]] from [[Granite Cave]]. Throughout the Delta Episode, Mr. Stone mentions where Steven has most recently headed to.


After listening to [[Zinnia]]'s grandmother at [[Meteor Falls]], Steven heads to the Devon Corporation building in Rustboro City. When the players arrives there, a scientist runs out the front door, running away from a Team Aqua Grunt. That grunt then challenges the player, followed by a second and third grunt, all of whom run away after their own defeat. After defeating the third grunt, the scientist reveals that the device to control the [[Link Cable]] was stolen by {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and that Steven has headed off to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]].

In the [[Pokémon anime]], Rustboro City appeared in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'' to ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} mainly traveled to Rustboro for Ash's first [[Hoenn]] [[Gym]] battle, which happened in ''[[AG016|The Winner By a Nosepass]]'', but while there, they also visited the lookout tower, the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] and the [[Devon Corporation]].

In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'' they went to the desolate harbor of Rustboro City and met up with [[Mr. Briney]], who brought them to [[Dewford Town]] by boat.

Rustboro City also has a [[Contest Hall]] on its outskirts, which appeared in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''.
[[File:Rustboro Contest Hall.png|thumb|left|220px|The Rustboro Hall]]
Rustboro City also has a [[Contest Hall]] on its outskirts. Ash and his friends arrived at the Rustboro Hall in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'' and discovered that a [[Pokémon Contest]] was scheduled to take place there in just a few hours. They were surprised by the way contestants prepared their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for the event, as it was very different from how {{pkmn|Trainer}}s usually {{pkmn|training|train}} their Pokémon for Gym matches. After a meeting with [[Janet]] and {{an|Chaz}}, two skilled [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s, they learned about the proceedings of the competition and decided to enter. However, the lady in the registration desk was not accepting new entries as the event had already reached the maximum number of contestants allowed. Nonetheless, they received [[Contest Pass]]es and watched the Pokémon Contest get underway, with {{an|May}} and [[Max]] working as Janet's assistants.
 
During the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], Chaz had his {{p|Venomoth}} showing off its {{m|Confusion}} attack, while Janet had her {{p|Beautifly}} using {{m|String Shot}} to break plates thrown by May and Max. Their performances impressed the [[Raoul Contesta|panel]] [[Mr. Sukizo|of]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]] enough to secure them a place in the second round. Jessie's performance, on the other hand, was a total failure as she commanded her newly {{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} to use several [[move]]s it didn't known. In the [[Contest Battle]]s, both Janet and Chaz defeated their opponents to reach the finals. The two had a close battle, but when time ran out Janet was shown to have more points. As a result, she was declared the winner of the Rustboro Contest, earning her third [[Ribbon]]. Throughout the competition, May was amazed by the performances and the different kind of battling, and this inspired her to become a Pokémon Coordinator.


Rustboro City was mentioned in [[SS031]] where [[Lysandre]] assigned [[Alain]] to go there.
Rustboro City appeared again in ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', where [[Alain]], [[Mairin]], and {{Steven}} arrived there, following the energy signature of the [[Key Stone|megalith]] they had [[SS031|previously]] encountered. [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} also followed the energy, and clashed with each other just off the coast of Rustboro City. The battle was eventually stopped by {{me|Rayquaza}}, although the megalith was taken away by [[Lysandre]]'s submarine to [[Lysandre Labs]].

* Rustboro's Japanese motto is {{tt|しぜんと かがくの ゆうごうを ついきゅうする まち |Shizen to kagaku no yūgō o tsuikyū suru machi}} ''"The city probing the integration of nature and science"''.
* As Hoenn coincides with {{wp|Kyushu}}, Rustboro coincides approximately with {{wp|Fukuoka, Fukuoka|Fukuoka}} and {{wp|Kitakyushu}}.
* Rustboro City is very similar to [[Saffron City]] of [[Kanto]] and [[Jubilife City]] of [[Sinnoh]]. All three cities are home to their region's corporate giants.

** It is also similar to [[Pewter City]] of Kanto and [[Goldenrod City]] of Johto. Their geographic locations to their regions are very remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest during the beginning of the games. Rustboro is more like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a Gym, but first to be beaten by the {{player}}. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, and play a role in the player obtaining Fossil Pokémon.

* In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, there is an {{wp|Easter egg (media)|Easter egg}} findable in Rustboro City, involving the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} who gives the {{player}} a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Float Stone}}. After giving it to the player, he will explain its effect of halving the holder's weight. If the player then leaves and re-enters the floor, the Ace Trainer has turned into a {{tc|Hiker}}, who tells that he has put on a lot of weight recently for some reason.
