Whirl Islands: Difference between revisions

The '''Whirl Islands''' (Japanese: '''うずまきじま''' ''Whirlpool Islands'') are a small archipelago located between the mainland of [[Johto]] and [[Cianwood City]], on {{rt|41|Johto}}. Beneath the sea, a maze of dark caves sprawl, with explorers able to travel between the four islands with some amount of difficulty. Deep within these caves, {{p|Lugia}} can be found.

As explained in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon SoulSilver}}, the Whirl Islands used to be one large island. At some point in time, there were two countries fighting over the island. Lugia, the guardian of the island, got upset and cast lightning bolts to tear the island into four pieces. It then disappeared into the deep end of the waterfall basin, longing for the invisible trust between people and Pokémon to manifest once more.

The depiction of the islands is far different in the anime. Far from being deserted, it contains many towns and other inhabitable areas. The Whirl Islands are home to the [[Whirl Cup]], a competition for {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]]s held once every three years.  

Rumors circulate that families of {{p|Lugia}} reside there. A mother Lugia and her baby, {{jo|Silver}}, were sought by [[Dr. Namba]] and did, in fact, reveal themselves.

The islands, from north to south:

* [[Ogi Isle]]

* [[Silver Rock Isle]]

* [[Red Rock Isle]]

* [[Yellow Rock Isle]]

* [[Blue Point Isle]]

* [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]]

[[File:Whirl Islands HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|{{adv|Silver}} flying over the Whirl Islands]]

The Whirl Islands first appeared in the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga in ''[[PS142|Really Remoraid]]'', where [[Morty]] was able to track the location of {{Adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} at [[Lt. Surge]]'s request. Having been nursed back to health by the {{p|Entei}} that had just left, the two awaken to find that Gold lost his [[backpack]] again (along with several of his other belongings), and Silver was missing the [[Red Gyarados]] he caught at the [[Lake of Rage]]. After fighting off a herd of {{p|Sandslash}}, the two come across Surge, who then returns them. However, there was a catch: before he could even inquire information regarding the [[Masked Man]], the three were attacked by the wild {{p|Lugia}} that inhabited the islands, quite a berserk one that rampaged firing {{m|Aeroblast}}s left and right. After a tough battle during which they are joined by {{adv|Crystal}} and their [[Exbo|starters]] [[Silver's Feraligatr|all]] [[Megaree|evolve]], they try to it in a Poké Ball, only to find out someone else, later revealed to be the Masked Man himself, did so before them.

After the incident, the three fail to track it down even with the Pokédexes' Area function, and soon Silver flies off on his own to the fourth and final island, in which [[Lance]]'s hidden chamber resides. By using the three {{type|Water}} [[HM]] moves available at the time, he is able to enter it and acquire information from Lance, during which he returns the {{p|Tyranitar}} he borrowed.

Much later, in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Silver returns to Lance's chamber again, only to be joined by an angry [[Clair]] who demanded to know what he did to her cousin, who had recently gone missing. They are soon attacked by [[Petrel]]'s many {{p|Koffing}}.

* In {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a guest at [[Hotel Grand Lake]] by [[Lake Valor]] mentions a {{p|Lugia|silver-colored Pokémon}} at Whirl Islands.

* In Generation II, it was possible to get to {{p|Lugia}} without having the [[HM]] {{m|Waterfall}}.
