Hoenn
Hoenn (pronounced Hoe-in and spelled Hōen in Japan) is a last name and is also a region in the Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald games.
Hoenn is roughly based on Kyushu, in Japan (flipped by 90 degrees) and supposedly lies in the south of the Pokémon world.
It is said that the Hoenn region was formed by the legendary Magma Pokemon, Groudon raising the land and the Legendary Ocean Pokemon, Kyogre expanding the sea.
The Hoenn region also contains its own Pokemon League, called the Hoenn League and Elite 4, unlike Johto and Kanto which share their Elite 4 in the video games. Sydney, Glacia, Drake and Phoebe are the members of Elite 4 in Hoenn. In Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, Steven is the Pokémon Champion, while in Pokémon Emerald, Wallace is the Pokemon Champion. This is the region where the Advanced Generation series occur as Ash and company explore this whole new region featuring more than 100 new Pokemon and the mysteries they will unlock. Also in the anime, a Kingdom called the Mirage Kingdom is located between routes 111 and 112. LaRousse City, which was in the movie: Pokemon Destiny Deoxys is at the east of the region
Important landscape features include the large river that flows through Route 119 (leading up to the western entrance to Fortree City), Petalburg Forest (between Petalburg City and Rustboro City), and Mount Chimney (north of Lavaridge Town). If you look really closely in the southeast, the Sky Pillar is visible.
