Phenac City

Phenac City (Japanese: フェナスシティ Phenace City) is a small city built around a desert oasis in southeast Orre. The entire city is surrounded by a wall that keeps out the harsh desert winds. Most of the buildings within Phenac are built of stone. In the center of town there is a large, ornamental fountain that serves as both decoration and a rich display of Phenac's water supply. According to a resident in Phenac City, the mayor's grandfather, the first mayor and founder of the city, drew water to this formerly barren place.

The inhabitants of Phenac are generally good-natured folk; however, they are very suspicious of the citizens of Pyrite Town. Gossip about the criminals of Pyrite Town is always a popular topic, so people who announce that they come from Pyrite are met with suspicion.

The presence of the Pre Gym and Phenac Stadium has instilled a deep interest in Pokémon training amongst the residents of Phenac. Many s prepare their so that they can challenge Justy or compete in the nearest Colosseum.

The mayor's house is located to the west of the Pre Gym.

In Pokémon Colosseum, Bluno, Rosso, and Verde also appear here, blocking the three exits: the main entrance, the entrance close to Mayor Es Cade's house, and the one across Mayor Es Cade's entrance.

Places of interest
Discounting the Trainers found in the Colosseum's lobby, by the end of the game Phenac City has population of 34 in.

Phenac Stadium
In the very northern area of Phenac is Phenac Stadium, a giant dome-shaped Colosseum containing several gigantic waterfalls within its walls. The stadium was closed after Realgam Tower opened a short distance west of Phenac; however, some Trainers still come to the stadium's floor in search of battles. In, the abandoned stadium was used by Cipher as a hideout during their attempt to take over Phenac City.

Pokémon Center
Phenac's Pokémon Center is notable in that its basement is home to the region's only trading station. Here, Pokémon can be traded between Orre ( and XD), Kanto, and Hoenn. In the Japanese version, there is an e-Reader room in the basement, this room was made inaccessible in international releases.

Prestige Precept Gym
The Prestige Precept Center, known locally as the Pre Gym, is located in the north-central area of town. It is the closest equivalent to a Pokémon Gym in Orre. The first floor contains an instructing area as well as a Pokémon battle arena. The basement contains a series of simulated habitats (grassland, pond, rocks, and desert) ideal for training Pokémon to adapt to various areas.

The leader of the Center is Justy, also known as the Pregymleader.

Mayor's house
Located at the far west of town near the western gate, the Mayor's house is where Phenac's elected official works. In Colosseum, Mayor Es Cade is initially met here, though Miror B. and his peons later arrive to crash the house. In XD, Es Cade's replacement, Mayor Trest, can be met here, though he is initially missing.

Second visit
Only one of the three Mystery Troops can be challenged here. When one is defeated, the other two will disappear, and cannot be battled until the post-game.







During Cipher's invasion
During the invasion, s will take the place of many of Phenac City's citizens. All female peons will be disguised as, while the majority of male peons will be disguised as s. Exceptions include Forgs, who is masquerading as the usually seen running around the fountain, and Kapen, who is disguised as a Poké Mart shopkeeper.

After the undefined has found and exited the Mayor's house, the Hexagon Brothers will come out of the Pre Gym, each of them disguised as Justy, and scatter around the city.

Trivia

 * Besides having a similar sounding name to, the origin stories of Phenac and Phoenix are quite similar. Phenac was founded when the first mayor of the town (Mayor Es Cade's grandfather) drew water into the city, as mentioned by a resident in-game. when a man by the name of Jack Swilling had a series of canals built to bring water into the area. These canals followed an ancient Native American canal system, and the communities that sprung up along them were built on top of ruins of the same people. Eventually, the city came to be known as Phoenix, as it was a city born from the ruins of a former civilization.
 * During the Lucky Egg Quest in XD, it is necessary to speak to Dash, the athlete circling the water fountain. At one point, when he mentions his, its name is misspelled as Castfrom.
