The Pokémon Trainers' School (Japanese: ポケモントレーナーズスクール Pokémon Trainer's School), known as the Pokémon Trainer's School in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, is a Pokémon academy located in Rustboro City.

In the games

The Pokémon Trainer's School is located in Rustboro City near the Pokémon Center. The sign in front of it reads:

POKÉMON TRAINER'S SCHOOL
"We'll teach you anything about POKÉMON!"

Inside are five students and a teacher, who will give out the Quick Claw. Talking to the students also reveals helpful information for new players. Behind the teacher is the blackboard with the list of status conditions (Poison, Burn, Freeze, Paralysis, and Sleep) that may affect Pokémon in a battle.

In Pokémon Emerald, Scott can be encountered left of the entrance.

Ash and his friends visited the Pokémon Trainers' School in Gonna Rule The School!. Roxanne, the Rustboro Gym Leader works as a teacher there. She describes it as a place where "students can learn all about the world of Pokémon". As a teacher, she promotes cooperation between the students and says that they are not to compete with one another but to learn and grow together as friends while promoting good interactions between humans and Pokémon.

The school's motto is "Go forth together with me, friend".

Besides the classrooms, the school has a large Poké Ball deposit room, meant to store the many rental Pokémon available at the academy, and several outdoor battlefields for its students to practice on.

The school is divided into four classes, including:

Beginner's Class
A class that has a classroom with a huge TV screen to receive lectures via videophone from authorities like Professor Oak. It is taught by Roxanne, and sometimes the students have field trips. They also have Pokémon battle training where they choose one random Pokémon for the battle.
Pokémon Doctor's Class
A class that is for potential future Pokémon Doctors, taught jointly by a teacher and a Nurse Joy.
Pokémon Battle Class
A class that has its own battle arena and a referee.
Pokémon Contest Class
A class for future Pokémon Coordinators to learn about Pokémon Contests and practice ideas for appeals. After training, there is a quiz.

The Pokémon Trainer's School appeared in Extra Heavyweight Battle, where it was visited by Red and his Pokémon. Red's Clefairy dressed up as a school official and later challenged a Makuhita into a wrestling match. He managed to win after disguising himself as a Makuhita as well.

Dr. Takeda, Clefairy's original owner, is one of the students here.
