Location Location of Verdanturf Town in Hoenn.
|
Verdanturf Town (Japanese: シダケタウン Shidake Town) is a small, quaint town nestled between the mountains and the plains in central-western Hoenn. It is well known for its very clean air.
Wally is sent to live here with his aunt, uncle, and cousin, Wanda, to improve his health. The town features a Contest Hall in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as in their Generation VI remakes, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. In Pokémon Emerald, however, the Contest Hall is replaced with a Battle Tent.
There are two ways out of Verdanturf: to the east is Route 117 towards Mauville City; and to the north is the Rusturf Tunnel, which was being constructed to link Rustboro and Verdanturf. However, the construction disturbed the local Whismur who lived in the tunnel, and so it was canceled. Wanda's boyfriend tried to dig the tunnel himself but was unable to do it. After the player gets the Dynamo Badge, they can use Rock Smash to complete the tunnel and open a path to Route 116.
Slogan

Wanda's house
Wanda and most of her family live on the south side of the town. Wally is sent to live here to improve his health, but is only seen at Wanda's house after the player battles Wally in Mauville City. After the player obtains the Balance Badge, Wally will no longer be at Wanda's house.
Friendship rater
In the house situated to the left of Wanda's house, there is a woman who rates the friendship of Pokémon.
Shroomish girl
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is a little girl between the houses of Wanda and the friendship rater who has lost her Shroomish. She mentions it went missing somewhere near the sign. If the player reads the sign after talking to the girl, the Shroomish will come out from behind the sign and return to the girl. As a reward for finding it, the little girl will give the player the Intriguing Stone.

Pokémon the Series
In Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, Verdanturf Town was shown to have a fairly luxurious neighborhood. It is the hometown of Morrison, a Pokémon Trainer and one of Ash's rivals in the Ever Grande Conference. Among the town's current residents are Timmy Grimm and his parents, Tommy Grimm and Mrs. Grimm, who live in a mansion.
Ash, May, Max, and Brock arrived in Verdanturf Town in Disaster of Disguise, where they met up with Drew again. Drew was planning to compete in the town's Pokémon Contest. However, after his Roselia was injured in a battle against Timmy's Dusclops, he took it to the Pokémon Center and decided not to participate.
In Disguise Da Limit!, May entered the Verdanturf Contest in the hopes of winning her second Ribbon. Timmy and Jessie, respectively disguised as The Phantom and Jesselana, were also among the contestants. In the Appeals Round, May's Skitty failed to deliver a successful Blizzard attack. Despite this, the Kitten Pokémon was able to save its performance with a Double Slap juggling act taught to it by Dr. Abby in Delcatty Got Your Tongue. When Vivian announced the results, it was revealed that May, Timmy, Jessie, and a Coordinator named Stefano had advanced to the Contest Battles.
After defeating Stefano, May battled Timmy in the final round. Timmy proved to be a talented Coordinator and a tough opponent for May, as he had some good combinations up his sleeve, which led May to lose a large number of points. However, her Skitty managed to master Blizzard and use it against Dusclops, knocking it out. The Contest Judges then called Battle Off and May was declared the winner. Afterwards, Mr. Contesta rewarded May with the coveted Verdanturf Ribbon, her second Contest Ribbon overall.
