In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Fortree City's first appearance came in the as the emergency meeting point of the Hoenn Gym Leaders, in the wake of the death of Mt. Chimney. Although Flannery called the meeting, it had to take place in Fortree because its Gym Leader, Winona, supervised the other leaders' duties in Hoenn. The initial meeting took place without Tate and Liza, who were asked to guard the Orbs at Mt. Pyre (though the other Gym Leaders were unaware of this). Wallace, who was visiting Fallarbor Town to discuss research conducted by Professor Cozmo's assistants following the Mt. Chimney incident, attended the initial meeting via webcam.

The Gym Leaders discussed both Team Magma and Team Aqua; after an argument, they decide to take sides. Norman refused to support either team and left the meeting. then arrived at Fortree to challenge Winona to a battle, but lost, though Sapphire managed to convince Winona to coach her afterwards.

Once Wallace arrived at Fortree in person, the first meeting was disbanded, although the leaders stayed at Fortree to monitor the situation. That night, a dejected, who had arrived at Fortree with Wallace but fell out with Sapphire later during the day, left the city, and Wallace had to chase after him. A tsunami then washed up on the shores of southern Hoenn, flooding Slateport, Dewford and Littleroot. Before Brawly could respond to the emergency in his town, the Gym Leaders were alerted to another energy source causing a drought which had affected Fortree. Thus, it was agreed that Roxanne and Brawly targeted the source of the drought while Wattson and Flannery targeted the source of the tsunami. Winona agreed to find the boundary where the energy sources clashed, and took Sapphire with her.
