Chapter One - Genesis
The group meet in Oreburgh as they prepare to head to Jubilife, the first step on their journey towards rehabilitation. For Team Fruit Punch, its the beginning of a brighter future... or so they may think.

Chapter One: Genesis
Oreburgh City is the most prominent mining location in Sinnoh and one of the most notable in the world. Located in a valley between Mount Coronet's foothills and the enormous mountain itself, the land around the small city is rich in valuable ores.
Oreburgh is a small and semi-isolated city due to the area it resides in, life in Oreburgh revolves almost entirely around the enormous mining operation nearby with a staggering 71% of the town's employed people having a job connected to the mine in some fashion. However, in recent years, the mine has begun to produce less and less ore and as such the already small city has been shrinking further as people have moved away to Jubilife, Eterna or Hearthome City to look for new work. Unemployment and poverty in Oreburgh is also at an all time high. Recently a push towards the sciences has begun in an effort to rejuvenate the local economy.
Notable Locations
Oreburgh Mine
The Oreburgh's Mining industry isn't as large as Driftveil City's over in Unova, but the Oreburgh Mine itself is the largest in the world stretching well beyond the edges of Oreburgh itself in the directions of Eterna and Mt. Corontet. The mine actively produces over a hundred different ores as well as several gems and even evolutionary stones. When the mining began to slow down, it began allowing trainers to enter select parts of the mine to train or catch wild Pokemon for a fee. The Oreburgh Mine is connected to an even larger network of tunnels called the Sinnoh Underground that is said to stretch the length of the entire region.
The Museum of Geological Sciences
Originally the Oreburgh Mining Museum, a half-baked tourist attraction based on the mine, the imminent death of Oreburgh Mine lead to the company that owns it converting it to a more legitimate museum. Oreburgh's proximity to Mount Corinet and connection to the Underground via the mine make it an extremely valuable location for scientists and with the miners moving out and the museum offering suitable facilities now, the geologists are moving in. In recent years the museum has also been putting a heavy focus on palaeontology and fossil Pokemon.
Oreburgh Gym
The Oreburgh Gym seems like a pretty typical Oreburgh City building, albeit larger than any of the small houses nearby and is only immediately noticeable as the gym because of the signage that says so. Inside however is a different story as beyond the lobby it quickly opens up into a large amphitheatre with a cracked stone floor covered in dirt and littered with jagged stalagmites. Unsurprisingly given the battlefield, the gym specialises in Rock types.
The Gym Leader, a young man named Roark, is joked about as being the busiest man in Oreburgh as he is also the youngest foreman in the mine's history. As such, he is often difficult to pin down for a gym battle. When he is finally dug up from the mine, he battles opponents in a one vs one battle.
