LaRousse City is the setting of the seventh Pokémon movie, Destiny Deoxys. It is a technologically advanced city with moving walkways and a large presence of "Blocky" robots. The city's main power source seems to be its windmills.

The most famous attraction in LaRousse is the Battle Tower.

Location

According to the promotional map handed out with Destiny Deoxys Japanese release, LaRousse City is located in northern Hoenn, somewhat near Fortree City.

Geography

The city is located at the confluence of two rivers in northern Hoenn. The city mainly lies on an island, including the huge park, the Battle Tower, and most of the business districts. On the shores of the river, presumably mainland Hoenn, lies more areas of the city, though not much. Access to the island is via monorail, which wraps around the island, and a bridge over the northern part of the island.

Trivia

• LaRousse City is also the hometown of May's rival, Drew.

Origin

LaRousse is based off Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This is the second time a movie-made city was based off a real city outside of Japan.
