'''Trovita Island''' (Japanese: '''ユズ島''' ''Yuzu Island'') is a small isle off the western coast of [[Mandarin Island South]] in the [[Orange Islands]]. Trovita Island is surrounded by large rocks that were formed millions of years ago when the island rose out of the ocean. The {{Badge|Spike Shell}} reflects this unique island trait. It is also not rare for whirlpools to appear around the island.

Trovita Island is home to [[Rudy]], the third member of the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]], and his sister [[Mahri]]. The [[Trovita Gym]] is a large stadium.

==Places of interest==
===Docks===
At the beginning of the island, there are docks to unload visitors to the island from ferries or other boats.

===Trovita River===
A river runs through the island off to the side. The [[Gym Leader]] uses this river as the beginning test of the Gym. As {{pkmn|Trainer}}s go down the river in a speed boat, they must destroy all or all but one of the targets with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. There is no limit to the Pokémon being used to destroy the targets. Eventually, the river ends by the [[Gym]].

===Trovita Gym===
{{main|Trovita Gym}}
Trovita Gym is a fairly large Gym that almost looks like a police station. Inside the main doors is a large waiting room with a front desk, a telephone, snack vendors and soda machines, and a table and bench booth. Here, the challenger tells the [[Gym Leader]] what [[type]] of Pokémon they will be using. Because of the Gym rules, the Gym Leader, [[Rudy]], must also use the same type of Pokémon.

The Gym Leader also lives in the Gym, so there is a living area, kitchen, and dining area. In the back is a training area where there is Gym equipment, where Rudy has his Pokémon dance to raise their speed.

====Trovita Stadium====
Trovita Stadium is part of the Gym, and is a large rock formation on the other side of the island. This is where the challenger and the Leader battle. To get to it, there are two bridges the challenger and Leader have to walk over to get to the Stadium. Spectators who are with the Trainer are allowed to watch the battle from above in a hot air balloon. If the challenger wins, they get the {{badge|Spike Shell}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Trovita Island EToP.png|thumb|250px|Trovita Island in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Trovita Island appeared in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} arrived there alongside {{an|Misty}} to compete for his final [[Orange League]] [[Badge]]. After Ash had saved [[Mahri]] and her {{p|Dewgong}} from a whirlpool with his {{AP|Fearow}}, Mahri took a liking to Misty and took her to meet [[Rudy]], who gave Misty all the credit for saving his sister and asked her to marry him so that Mahri could have a big sister. Recognizing Rudy as the island's [[Gym Leader]], Ash challenged him both to get his Badge and to keep Misty away from him.

After Ash had successfully passed the target test, he followed Rudy to [[Trovita Gym|his Gym]] and had an informal dance battle with him. The next day, Ash faced Rudy in a 3-on-3 battle with Pokémon of matching [[type]]s. Ultimately, Ash was victorious thanks to {{AP|Squirtle}} and earned his final Orange League Badge. Mahri, however, was left heartbroken that Misty couldn't stay and become her big sister, so Rudy, wanting to make his sister feel better, started [[cross-dressing]] as a girl to serve as her "big sister".

==Trivia==
* In ''[[The Memorial Book of Orange Islands]]'', Shinzō Fujita (screenwriter of [[EP089]]) commented that he had originally planned to call [[Fukuhara Island No. 4]] (the setting of EP089) 「ユズ島」 ''Yuzu Island''. This name was ultimately used for Trovita Island instead.
