In the anime
The Oreburgh Gym first appeared in Shapes of Things to Come!, when Paul challenged Roark. Ash watched this match, and in the next episode lost to Roark because his concentration was instead on besting Paul. After some heavy training in Wild in the Streets! and some advice from Dawn, Ash re-challenged Roark in O'er the Rampardos We Watched!. This time, he won the match, gaining his Coal Badge. In Ancient Family Matters! it was revealed that prior to Roark becoming Gym Leader, his father Byron was the Gym Leader, but ultimately left to become the Leader of the Gym in Canalave City.
In the manga
In Pokémon Adventures
The Oreburgh Gym is the first Gym that Platinum challenged and was featured in A Conk in Cranidos's Cranium. Diamond and Pearl were thrown out by the Gym Statue for the duration of the Gym challenge, consisting of Gym Trainers and the Gym Leader himself. They, however, helped Platinum to win the battle against Roark from the outside by concealing information in their manzai routine.
