Fourtix Region

The  Fourtix Region  is a fan-created region that is the setting for the fanfiction, Lurking in the Shadows: Lisa's Ultimate Challenge.

Climate and Geography
The region lies south of Orre and generally enjoys a more moderate climate. There are four distinct seasons but the winters are usually not cold enough to produce snow, so it is a rare occurrence.

A large mountain range separates a western strip of the region from the rest of the landmass. In addition, islands along the southern part of the region also feature some of the region's major areas. As of now, there are currently only two ways to pass between the western and main sectors. One is a water route to the south, and the other is a cave called the Express Tunnel that is carved into one of the mountains. Fort Barnes, Chromo Town, Chromo Forest, and Bluefield City are located in the western portion; all other locations are either located in the main region or on the southern islands.

There is speculation by some readers that Fourtix is the pokemon world equivalent to Mexico. Evidence includes a mountain range dividing the region into two halves as well as American restaurants such as Denny's. The main character is from South Carolina.

Fort Barnes
A small town on the western part of the region. It is home to a Pokemon Research Laboratory and the Northwood household.
