Mesagoza (South) Pokémon Center

At the northern end of the area is a Pokémon Center that sits outside the Mesagoza's southern gate. The player encounters Nemona here on the way to Mesagoza on the first day of their enrollment at [[Naranja Academy]S/Uva AcademyV, where she challenges them to a battle. Nemona demonstrates the Terastal phenomenon to the player for the first time here.

Grasswither Shrine
