Sootopolis City was first mentioned in ''[[PS192|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt I]]'' by [[Mr. Briney]] when his {{p|Whiscash}}, Whisko, was sensing earthquakes with its whiskers and that many earthquakes have happened there.


The fight between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} mainly took place in Sootopolis City.
After [[Maxie]] awakened {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} at the [[Seafloor Cavern]], the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] eventually came face to face in Sootopolis City, where they began a fierce battle with each other. In order to prevent the immense energy resulted by the battle from going out of control, {{Steven}} and the [[Elite Four]] used the {{TP|Brandon|legendary titans}} to contain the energy in Sootopolis City. Eventually, the battle was stopped by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}.
 
Sootopolis City reappeared in the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, where [[Zinnia]] was taken there after Rayquaza rejected her offer to join her in order to destroy the meteoroid headed for Hoenn. Upon {{adv|Emerald}}'s request, Zinnia agrees to work alongside the Stones, [[Mr. Stone|Joseph]] and Steven, for a solution to avert the impending apocalypse. Eventually a plan was devised, which involved the Hoenn [[Gym Leader]]s, Elite Four, and [[Frontier Brain]]s, as well as the [[Draconid]]s, {{adv|Red}}, and {{adv|Green}}, all standing by at Sootopolis to launch a combined attack towards the meteoroid, while Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}} would ride Rayquaza into space to strike the meteoroid directly.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Sootopolis's Japanese motto is {{tt|れきしが ねむる しんぴの まち|Rekishi ga nemuru shinpi no machi}} ''"The mystical city where history slumbers"''.
* The background music used in this city is a remix of music from {{g|Pinball}}, specifically that which plays during the "Name Entry" screen.
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, if the {{player}} goes to the highest house on the right side of the city (the side with the [[Pokémon Center]]), stands on the stairs outside, and hits the "left" direction on the d-pad, it is possible to use a [[glitch]] to walk on part of the rock wall. This was corrected in {{game|Emerald}}.
* This is the only city in the Pokémon world which requires the use of {{m|Dive}} in order to be reached for the first time.
* [[Kiri]] was named after [[Junichi Masuda]]'s daughter, born right before the Japanese release of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=96 Director's Column] (Japanese)</ref>

* Sootopolis City is the only city or town located in the middle of a single route.
* In the flower patch next to the big tree [[AZ]] gave, there is a flower in the patch that is the same in design to the flower the Eternal Flower {{p|Floette}}, the Floette that befriended AZ in the {{g|X and Y}} storyline. Whether there is an in-game event relating to this is currently unknown.
