Petalburg City (Japanese: トウカシティ Touka City) is located in southwestern Hoenn. Despite Petalburg being the first city with a Gym, the Gym is not accessible until after obtaining four Badges. Norman, the father of the players, is also the Petalburg Gym Leader.
East of Petalburg City is Route 102 and Oldale Town. To the west is Route 104 where Mr. Briney's Cottage and the Petalburg Woods are found.
When a player first arrives at this city, they are prevented from heading out into Route 104 until they go to the Gym and talk to Norman. A boy named Wally will come in asking for help to catch a Pokémon. Using Zigzagoon, a Pokémon Norman lends, and the player's support, Wally catches his first Pokémon: a Ralts.
In Generation III, the Pokémon Center has a man near the PC who will let players put key words on their Trainer Cards.

Petalburg City in the anime
In the anime, Petalburg City is the hometown of Norman and Caroline, and their children May and Max. It has a sister city to the north of it, called North Petalburg, where the citizens are obsessed with Norman and his family.
Ash and May first arrived there in There's no Place Like Hoenn. After meeting up with May's family and having an unofficial battle at the local Gym, which Norman won, Ash left together with May and Max. They returned to Petalburg City in Love, Petalburg Style!, where they had a confrontation with Team Rocket. Ash had an official Gym battle with Norman in the following episode. He was successful in defeating Norman this time, earning the Balance Badge.
May and Max returned home in The Scheme Team, following May's participation in the Hoenn Grand Festival and Ash's efforts in the Ever Grande Conference. By The Right Place and the Right Mime, both May and Max had left home again to rejoin Ash in the Kanto region. However, May left behind her Beautifly and Skitty to keep her mother company.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In the Ruby & Sapphire arc, Ruby visits the city of his father's Gym, initially by means of his Running Shoes that cause minor havoc. He encounters Wally, a frail young boy who admits to failing to catch the wild Nuzleaf that Ruby's Mudkip, Mumu, defeated earlier. Wally says that despite his latest setback, he refuses to give up becoming a Pokémon Trainer. Ruby suddenly senses Norman approaching, and hides himself and Wally in a bush. Wally eventually comes out on Norman's request, but is refused help to capture a Pokémon, due to ill health.
The next day, Ruby helps cheer up a disheartened Wally by helping him capture his first Pokémon, a Kecleon, with the help of Ruby's Ralts, Rara. Shortly after the capture succeeds, an earthquake ravages the ground underneath Ruby, causing him to fall into the ocean. Wally and Rara are separated from Ruby.
