Tohjo Falls: Difference between revisions

|japanese_name=トージョウのたき

The '''Tohjo Falls''' (Japanese: '''トージョウのたき''' ''Tōjō Falls'') are two {{wp|waterfall}}s separating the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] [[region]]s, and known as ''The Link Between Kanto and Johto''.

==In the games==

Located in southwest Kanto, it is the final test for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who have acquired all eight {{badge|Johto League}}s and wish to put their skills to the test against the [[Elite Four]] on [[Indigo Plateau]] to the north. The {{player}} will need his/her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to use the [[move]]s {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Waterfall}} to get through it. Because Trainers must obtain all the eight Johto League Badges to be granted access to the [[Pokémon League]], the falls effectively hinder any progress on {{rt|27|Kanto}} until after the Trainer has {{HM|07|Waterfall}} and has obtained the {{badge|Rising}} from [[Clair]] at [[Blackthorn Gym]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is a [[cave]] hidden beneath the waterfall where the player {{pkmn|battle}}s [[Giovanni]] through a {{pkmn2|event|Nintendo event}}. If the player simply enters the cave during regular gameplay, s/he will find an empty cave with a broken radio. Outside the event, this cave is otherwise useful for collecting [[item]]s found via {{m|Rock Smash}} without any concern of a [[wild Pokémon]] encounter.

Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, after beating the {{DL|Elite Four|Kanto/Johto Elite Four|Elite Four}} for the first time and boarding the [[S.S. Aqua]], the battle music in the Tohjo Falls (as well as in {{ka|Victory Road}}, {{rt|26|Kanto|Routes 26}}, {{rtn|27|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|28|Kanto}}) changes from the [[Johto]] style to the [[Kanto]] style. This change was not present in the original {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} nor in {{game|Crystal}}.

===Trainers===

[[Giovanni]] hides out in the Tohjo Falls, at least part of the time, during the three-year interim between {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and hears [[Team Rocket]]'s pleas to him from the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] when they take over. He can be {{pkmn|battle}}d through a {{pkmn2|event|Nintendo event}}, in which a {{p|Celebi}} takes the {{player}} back in time. The battle takes place at the same time that Team Rocket disbands again at the Goldenrod Radio Tower.

==In the anime==

Although it is never visited directly, the {{OBP|Battle Tower|Generation III}} is referred to as being close to the Tohjo Falls.

==In the manga==

In ''[[PS150|Chinchou in Charge]]'', {{DL|Misty|In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Misty}}, {{DL|Brock|In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Brock}} and {{DL|Erika|In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Erika}} passed through the Tohjo Falls on their way to [[Johto]]. While crossing a rope bridge, Misty fell into a {{wp|waterfall}} and saved a {{p|Krabby}} that was in trouble. After this, in ''[[PS151|Lovely Lanturn]]'', {{p|Suicune}} came and challenged her. Suicune decided to go with her, and she, Brock and Erika continued their journey.

==Origin==

===Name origin===

The name ''Tohjo'' is an anagram of ''Johto'', but it can also refer to the location of the falls as a boundary between the two [[region]]s: at the end of Kan'''to''' and the beginning of '''Joh'''to. Its Korean name is a portmanteau of 관'''동''' ''Gwan'''dong''''' (Kan'''to''') and '''성'''도 '''''Seong'''do'' ('''Joh'''to), while its Chinese name is both an inversion of 城都 ''Chéngdū'' (Johto) and a portmanteau of 關'''都''' ''Guān'''dū''''' (Kan'''to''') and '''城'''都 '''''Chéng'''dū''.
