In between Screech Cave and the Rocky Path lies the village at the edge of a precipice - Cliffton Village. Home to hardy, enduring folk who forge their own way forward. The village was built out of the cliff-face itself by the ancestor of the current gym leader by his use of Rock Smash with his fighting type pokemon. Generations later, the gym is still run by the resident martial arts master and his powerful fighting-type pokemon. Rock Climbers, Hikers and Backpackers all come to Cliffton to test their mettle against the rugged cliff-face of the town.
