Fula City (Japanese: フウラシティ Fula City) is an anime-exclusive location and the setting of The Power of Us. Oliver is the city's current mayor.

The Wind Festival is held here every year to commemorate Fula City's establishment and transformation into a metropolis thanks to the winds, used to generate power. The Legendary Pokémon Lugia is said to appear on the final day to bless the city with the winds. The festival includes many other events including the Pokémon Catch Race competition and carnival rides.

Wind turbines feature prominently in the city's skyline while whirligigs appears throughout its many streets and lane ways. Fula City is serviced by subway trains, trams and cable cars.

Fula City is the hometown of Margo, Callahan, Harriet, Toren, Jason, Townes, Hoyt, and Miles.

In the anime

Fifty years ago the city suffered an intense fire caused by people. It led to the loss of many lives including Harriet’s beloved Snubbull, as well as Zeraora's hostility towards people. Lugia put out the fires and became revered as a guardian of Fula City, but Zeraora's courageous efforts were never recognized. In an effort to protect Zeraora and the citizens of Fula City a previous Mayor established a whole mountain as a no-go zone and fabricated a lie that Zeraora had vanished in the fires.

In The Power of Us, Margo feared that her dear friend Zeraora was going to be taken by Pokémon poachers after Callahan reported that a rare Pokémon lived up in the mountains. She went on to steal the Eternal Flame, damage the power supply and tram rails to disrupt the Wind Festival and protect Zeraora.

Later, Team Rocket stole the Effect Spore solution from the Pokémon Research Pavilion, but later dropped it among the forested outskirts of Fula City. The Effect Spore's glass capsule later cracked, then the released purple gas smothered the entire city and also reacted with an electrical transformer to cause a large forest fire.

The crises led Ash and his new friends to find their courage and overcome the chaos. Margo and Ash went on to confront Zeraora, while Risa was given the task of returning the Eternal Flame to the Pedestal to summon Lugia. Meanwhile, Mayor Oliver helped to direct the city’s citizens to evacuate to safety and Toren returned to his lab to make a serum. Toren lost his Natural Cure potion because of a power outage, but Team Rocket's Lum Berry supply proved useful to the cause. He later joined Callahan and Harriet at the abandoned power plant, and they were able to get the old facility running and use its wind turbines to spread the Lum Berry solution across Fula City. Risa delivered the Eternal Flame in time and Lugia was able to put out the raging fires.

At the Wind Festival's closing ceremony, Mayor Oliver officially rewrote history and declared to his citizens that Zeraora did in fact exist and that the city will now live in peace with Zeraora.
