Akuwa Town — Pokémon Rejuvenation Town Guide
Akuwa Town is the marine town at the northern tip of Floria Island, and it is two different places depending on when you visit: deserted the first time, repopulated after Blacksteeple Island.

What is here
The town's first appearance is not as a town. You arrive in Chapter 5 to meet Saki Blakeory and find it empty — Team Xen has taken the inhabitants prisoner, and walking into the Aquarium gets you captured as well. It only becomes the place described below after the events at Blacksteeple Island, when it is repopulated.
The Aquarium is the centre of it, and it does double duty as Valarie's gym. After Team Xen's incursion it is completely empty, and the tanks are refilled during the Akuwa Aquarium sidequest in Chapter 13 — which is why the building looks unfinished on a first pass and full later.
The shops here are specialised rather than general. The Fossil Seller takes shards, not money: a Sail Fossil for 10 Blue Shards, a Jaw Fossil for 10 Red Shards and a Skull Fossil for 10 Green Shards. The Mart Vendor carries the upper-tier consumables — Ultra Balls at 1,200, Luxury Balls at 1,000, Hyper Potions at 1,200.
Larry Locksmith's Plaza, just south of the Pokemon Center, is the other reason to come back. A Blackbelt there gives you a Nugget, and Larry will repair a broken House Key if you bring two Light Clay and one Hard Stone — producing a Reforged Key, which is what opens the strange house on Zorrialyn Coast.
Both tutors are here and they are on opposite sides of the Aquarium: the Move Tutor Center to the west, and the Pledge Tutor to the east, who teaches the pledge moves to a starter Pokemon.
| Landmark | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Akuwa Aquarium | The town's main attraction and Valarie's gym. Empty after the Team Xen incursion; the tanks are repopulated during the Chapter 13 Aquarium sidequest. |
| Larry Locksmith's Plaza | South of the Pokemon Center. A Nugget from the Blackbelt, and Larry's House Key repair — two Light Clay and one Hard Stone for a Reforged Key. |
| Akuwa Battle Club / Move Tutor Center | West of the Aquarium. |
| Pledge Tutor | East of the Aquarium. Teaches the pledge moves, and only to a starter Pokemon. |
| Akuwa Cave Drill Management Center (ACDMC) | A named building; a Zygarde Cell sits to its right. |
| Fossil Seller | Trades fossils for shards: Sail 10 Blue, Jaw 10 Red, Skull 10 Green. |
| Mart Vendor | Ultra Ball 1,200, Luxury Ball 1,000, Hyper Potion 1,200 and the rest of the upper tier. |
Before you go
- Do not judge the town by your first visit. Arriving in Chapter 5 it is deserted and the Aquarium is empty; it is only repopulated after Blacksteeple Island.
- The Fossil Seller takes shards, not money. Sail, Jaw and Skull Fossils cost 10 Blue, 10 Red and 10 Green Shards respectively — a Badlands shopping trip pays for them.
- The Reforged Key from Larry needs two Light Clay and one Hard Stone, and it opens the strange house on Zorrialyn Coast. If you have a broken House Key sitting in your bag, this is what it is for.
- The two move tutors are on opposite sides of the Aquarium — the Move Tutor Center west, the Pledge Tutor east. The Pledge Tutor only teaches a starter.
