{{ho|Victory Road}} is a dark, complex cave that passes through the middle of Ever Grande City, separating it into two sections.

It is a large [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Poké Mart]] combined with a gateway to the [[Elite Four]] which can only entered if the player has all eight [[Badge]]s. The nurse at the left counter will heal the player's Pokémon and the player may purchase items at the right counter. Unlike other Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation III]] games, the lobby does not have a second floor in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}; this was corrected in {{game|Emerald}}. | ||
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Pokémon League building is a large orange tower. Before each of the Elite Four member's rooms is a short pathway consisting of a metal bridge over a black pit. The pathway between Drake's room and the Champion's room is longer than the others, containing flashing lights in the dark pit and on the far wall. | In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Pokémon League building is a large orange tower.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Pokémon League building is no longer a modern tower, but instead resembles a traditional Japanese castle. The approach to each room is themed after each individual member of the Elite Four. Each chamber is contained within its own traditionally-styled building raised above the ground, and connected via bridges. While the [[Delta Episode]] is in progress, it is not possible to challenge the Elite Four due to Steven's absence. | In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Pokémon League building is no longer a modern tower, but instead resembles a traditional Japanese castle.

==Origin== | |||
The design of the [[Pokémon League]] building in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} appears to be based on {{wp|Shuri Castle}} in {{wp|Okinawa}}. | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* This is the only city to host a Pokémon League in the games but besides the league itself and a Pokémon Center, there are no other buildings in Ever Grande City, residential or otherwise. | |||
* This is the only city to host a Pokémon League in the games | * In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the code for the Pokémon League guards only actually checks for the {{badge|Knuckle}} and the {{badge|Feather}}. The player is assumed to have the other six badges, as Ever Grande City cannot be reached without using the [[field move]]s enabled by the other Badges. This can be exploited in glitched runs such as [http://tasvideos.org/2705M.html this tool-assisted speedrun]. | ||
* | * In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Pokémon League is displayed as an independent location on the {{DL|PokéNav Plus|AreaNav}}'s map and has a separate [[List of locations by index number (Generation VI)|location ID]] but it is still considered part of Ever Grande City, as suggested in dialogue with [[Sidney]] at the [[Battle Maison]]. | ||
* When the player first challenges [[Phoebe]] in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, as the screen first fades to black, there is a blink-and-miss moment where a little boy (if the player is a {{ga|May|girl}}) or girl (if the player is a {{ga|Brendan|boy}}) appears on her armchair out of thin air. After the screen comes into view again, it seems to switch to the little boy's/girl's point of view before fading to black again. When the screen comes into view again, the little boy/girl can be seen standing behind the player. The little boy/girl doesn't appear in subsequent matches against Phoebe. | |||
