In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the crater was formed by a giant meteorite impact into the ocean of the Hoenn region thousands of years ago, eventually filling with rainwater. People soon began to dwell in the crater for its warm, fresh water and a city soon came forth. The great tree in front of the [[Cave of Origin]] was received from [[AZ]] when he visited from the [[Kalos]] region.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the volcano Sootopolis is built upon opens up at one side, giving access to ferries. It appeared in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'' and ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the city for Ash's final [[Hoenn League]] Gym battle. After witnessing a demonstration of [[Juan]]'s {{pkmn|Contest}} skills, the group was taken to the [[Sootopolis Gym]], where Ash had his final Hoenn Gym battle with Juan. Eventually Ash won, earning him his eighth Hoenn League [[Badge]].
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the volcano Sootopolis City is built upon opens up at one side, giving access to {{DL|Transportation in the Pokémon world|ships and boats}}. After leaving [[Izabe Island]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in Sootopolis City in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. Ash was planning to challenge the local [[Gym Leader]] to a {{pkmn|battle}} in order to obtain his eighth [[Gym]] [[Badge]], which would qualify him to compete in the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|League Conference|Championships}}.
{{-}}
 
Upon arriving, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} saw fireworks and realized an event was being held in the city, so they ran to join the attendees. It was soon revealed that the Mayor of Sootopolis City was inaugurating a water-themed theater and that [[Juan]], the Leader of the [[Sootopolis Gym]], would put on a show with his {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as part of the festivities. May was amazed at how beautifully Juan's Pokémon took the stage and Brock commented on how they had been well-raised. Throughout Juan's presentation, May was even more impressed and said Juan could be a great [[Pokémon Coordinator]].
 
[[File:Ash Rain Badge.png|thumb|220px|Ash holding the Rain Badge]]
{{TRT}} was also impressed by Juan and they decided to steal his Pokémon, but Juan managed to send them blasting off with minimum effort. After that, Ash approached Juan saying he would like to have a battle with him, and once Juan agreed, the group was taken to the Gym on a boat. While on their way to the Sootopolis Gym, the group discovered that Juan is a former winner of the [[Grand Festival]], having received the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]] years ago. They also learned why he [[Type expert|specializes]] in Water-type Pokémon.
 
When they got to the Gym, they were greeted by {{ho|Sebastian}}, Juan's butler and assistant, who explained to Ash the rules of the Sootopolis Gym. The Gym battle is divided into four rounds; the first is a [[Double Battle]] held in a large swimming pool with floating platforms and the other three are Single Battles conducted in a battlefield resembling a lake surrounded by land. Ash won the battle in ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough!]]'', earning the {{Badge|Rain}}, his eighth [[Hoenn]] Badge overall, which allowed him to compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. After that the group left for [[Pacifidlog Town]], site of an upcoming [[Pokémon Contest]] which May wanted to enter in order to obtain her fifth [[Ribbon]].

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.

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. Due to the containment field created by the titans covering the city everywhere above it, the excess energy from the battle was forced downwards, causing the entire city to rise into the air. Eventually, the battle was stopped by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, bringing the city back down to its proper place.


Sootopolis City reappeared in [[PAORAS19]], where [[Zinnia]] was taken there after Rayquaza rejected her offer to join her in order to destroy the meteoroid headed for Hoenn.

[[Zinnia]] was taken there after Rayquaza rejected her offer to join her in order to destroy the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] headed for Hoenn. Upon {{adv|Emerald}}'s request, Zinnia agreed 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 people|Draconids]], {{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. The plan was executed successfully, saving the Hoenn region from yet another disaster.
