Oreburgh City: Difference between revisions

'''Oreburgh City''' (Japanese: '''クロガネシティ''' ''Kurogane City'') is a city located in central [[Sinnoh]]. Oreburgh is first accessible via the [[Oreburgh Gate]], which is to the west of the city. This is one of two connecting routes to the City, the other being {{rt|207|Sinnoh}} to the city's north. Oreburgh is a mining town blessed with significant natural resources. Prominent vents throughout the city exchange the stale air from the mines below with fresh, above-ground air.

In the city's southern section are the [[Oreburgh Mine]]s, and Oreburgh is also the location of the first [[Gym]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Gym Leader|led by]] [[Roark]]. It is there where Trainers can earn the Coal Badge, the first Badge available to Trainers seeking to conquer the Sinnoh region's [[Pokémon League]]. Other points of interest include the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]]. The miners often take breaks in the Gym between the work shifts and, similarly, [[Roark]] allows the citizens of the town to train their Pokémon in the mines.  

The Oreburgh Mine is located at the far south of Oreburgh City. It is run by [[Roark]], who is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the city. It is the livelihood of the town. Vents in the town allow steam to escape and fresh air to enter the mine, likely also clearing the mine of any poison gas. The mine is operated with the utmost care to avoid causing damage to the natural habitats of wild Pokémon. The system of taking coal out of the mine is automated. Roark lets Trainers from the town train their Pokémon in the mine. The mine itself extends not only under the town, but the seafloor as well. All of the miners have their own Pokémon, usually {{p|Machop}}, to assist them in the mine.

The Oreburgh Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Oreburgh City. It is based on {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Roark]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Coal}}. The Oreburgh Gym is a narrow building built of stone. Two paths exist, a raised path that avoids the Trainers and a middle path that takes challengers straight through the Gym. Roark waits on a raised hill at the end of the paths. Although only two Trainers actually appear in the Gym, most of the miners in the [[Oreburgh Mine]] are also members who relax at the Gym in their free time. After [[Roark]] is defeated, he will give the player the {{Badge|Coal}}, which is the first Badge one can earn in the conquest of the Sinnoh region's [[Pokémon League]], {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}}, and the ability to use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle.

On certain days, the player can challenge a Trainer who appears in the Pokémon Center. Depending on the game progress, the Trainer will have teams with higher leveled Pokémon upon rematch.  

Oreburgh City appeared in a flashback in ''[[PE05|The Rival]]'', where {{ga|Barry}} was seen visiting the [[Oreburgh Gym]], emerging victorious against [[Roark]] with his {{p|Piplup}} and earning his first [[Badge]].
