Map description
A town formed by scholars who gather to research meteorites.
Fallarbor Town (Japanese: ハジツゲタウンHajitsuge Town) is a small farming community in northwest Hoenn. The town's only notable landmark is the Contest Hall, which is replaced with a Battle Tent in Pokémon Emerald.
To the west of the town is Route 114 and the Fossil Maniac's House, and to the east is Route 113. Fallarbor Town is extremely close to Mt. Chimney, so much of the ash from the volcano constantly falls near the town. In the fields of Fallarbor, the locals plant seedlings of hardy trees that thrive even in volcanic ash. Fallarbor Town seems to be based on Oita, Japan.

Move Reminder
On the west edge of town, is the home of the Move Reminder, who will teach a Pokémon any move that it could have previously learned through level-up, but for whatever reason had not, for the price of a Heart Scale.
MOVE TUTOR'S HOUSE
"New moves taught to POKéMON."
Professor Cozmo's house
On the south side of the town is Professor Cozmo's house, where he studies meteorites. He is not home at first, but will be there after the events at Meteor Falls. Professor Cozmo will trade TM27 (Return) for a Meteorite. Next to his house is what appears to be a modestly-sized meteor crater, which in fact hides a Nugget. In Generation VI, his house contains a meteorite that can be interacted with to allow Deoxys to cycle through its various Formes.

The Fallarbor Town Pokémon Contest was the second in which May competed. She arrived in Fallarbor in Pros and Con Artists, where she met Grace, another Pokémon Coordinator and her Medicham. After seeing how powerful it was—and witnessing Drew defeat Ash in battle—May feared she would not win the Contest.
In Come What May!, May competed in the Contest. She eventually made it to the finals and had to battle Grace. May subsequently defeated her and won her very first Contest Ribbon.
