Location
Location of Verdanturf Town in Hoenn.
|
Verdanturf Town (Japanese: シダケタウン Shidake Town) is a small, quaint town nestled between the mountains and the plains in central-western Hoenn. It is well known for its very clean air.
Wally is sent to live here with his aunt, uncle, and cousin, Wanda, to improve his health. The town features a Contest Hall in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as in their Generation VI remakes, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. In Pokémon Emerald, however, the Contest Hall is replaced with a Battle Tent.
There are two ways out of Verdanturf: to the east is Route 117 towards Mauville City; and to the north is the Rusturf Tunnel, which was being constructed to link Rustboro and Verdanturf. However, the construction disturbed the local Whismur who lived in the tunnel, and so it was canceled. Wanda's boyfriend tried to dig the tunnel himself but was unable to do it. After the player gets the Dynamo Badge, they can use Rock Smash to complete the tunnel and open a path to Route 116.
Slogan
The windswept highlands with the sweet fragrance of grass. (Japanese: くさの においの かぜふく こうげん The highlands where the grass-scented wind blows.)

Appearance
In the anime
Verdanturf Town in the anime
In the anime, Verdanturf Town was shown to have a fairly luxurious neighborhood. It is the hometown of Morrison, a Pokémon Trainer and one of Ash's rivals in the Ever Grande Conference. Among the town's current residents are Timmy Grimm and his parents, Tommy Grimm and Mrs. Grimm, who live in a mansion.
Ash, May, Max, and Brock arrived in Verdanturf Town in Disaster of Disguise, where they met up with Drew again. Drew was planning to compete in the town's Pokémon Contest. However, after his Roselia was injured in a battle against Timmy's Dusclops, he took it to the Pokémon Center and decided not to participate.
In Disguise Da Limit!, May entered the Verdanturf Contest in the hopes of winning her second Ribbon. Timmy and Jessie, respectively disguised as The Phantom and Jesselana, were also among the contestants. In the Appeals Round, May's Skitty failed to deliver a successful Blizzard attack. Despite this, the Kitten Pokémon was able to save its performance by juggling with Double Slap just like Dr. Abby taught it in Delcatty Got Your Tongue. When Vivian announced the results, it was revealed that May, Timmy, Jessie, and a Coordinator by the name of Stefano had advanced to the Contest Battles.
After defeating Stefano, May battled Timmy in the final round. Timmy proved to be a talented Coordinator and a tough opponent for May, as he had some good combinations up his sleeve. This led May to lose a large number of points. However, her Skitty managed to master the move Blizzard and use it against Dusclops, knocking it out. The Contest Judges then called Battle Off and May was declared the winner. Afterwards, the Director of the Contest Committee, Mr. Contesta, handed her the coveted Verdanturf Ribbon, her second Contest Ribbon overall.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Verdanturf Town appeared in Mind-Boggling with Medicham and It's Absol-utely a Bad Omen, where Ruby arrived there to obtain the Hoenn Contest Pass and to compete in the Normal Rank Pokémon Contests, accompanied by Gabby and Ty. After winning all five Normal Rank Contests, he saw a person whom he initially mistook as Wally, but was actually Wally's cousin Wanda, who told him that Wally had left the town before his arrival.
In It All Ends Now VIII, the Verdanturf Contest Hall, destroyed during the weather crisis caused by Groudon and Kyogre, was revealed to have been rebuilt as a Battle Tent, though it still maintained the function of hosting Pokémon Contests.
