Blackthorn City

Template:Infobox town Blackthorn City (Japanese: フスベシティ Fusube City) is located in northeast Johto. It is known as "A Quiet Mountain Retreat."

Pokémon Trainers often come to Blackthorn City in order to win the Rising Badge from Clair, the Blackthorn Gym Leader who specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon.

Many famous Dragon-type Trainers, including Clair and Lance, come from Blackthorn City.

Places of interest

The Move Deleter

Main article: Move Deleter

A Move Deleter is located in the southern part of the city, to the left of the Pokémon Mart. Although not a hugely important place to visit, the Move Deleter is helpful for deleting moves that can't be deleted otherwise, such as HMs, or moves that can't be traded to Generation I games.

Dragon's Den

Main article: Dragon's Den

A clan of masters of Template:Type2 Pokémon have lived in the city for generations. The masters built the Dragon's Den, a cavern with an underground lake that contains a shrine to Dragon Pokémon, as well as the elders of the Dragon clan. The entrance is located behind the gym, across a small pond, while the main cavern seems to be located underneath the city itself.

Ice Path

Main article: Ice Path

The Ice Path is the only way into the town from the north. Route 45 is also reachable from the south of Blackthorn, but the steep mountain path means it can be used as an exit only.

Demographics

Blackthorn City's population is 27. This high number is due, in part, to the existence of a Dragon Clan residing in the city.
