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 Risingbadge from Clair, the Blackthorn Gym Leader who specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon.

A clan of masters of Dragon-type 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.

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

A Move Deleter also lives in the city.

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 due, in part, by the existance of a Dragon Clan which resides in the city.
