The '''Whirl Islands''' (Japanese: '''うずまきじま''' ''Whirlpool Islands'') make up a small island chain located between mainland [[Johto]] and [[Cianwood City]], on {{rt|41}}. {{p|Lugia}} can be encountered deep inside the top right island.  
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 once the {{player}} has obtained the [[Silver Feather|Silver Wing]] and [[Tidal Bell]]{{sup/4|SS}}.


Named after the dangerous {{m|whirlpool}}s that surround them, some parts of the Whirl Islands are mysterious and largely inaccessible. Children in [[Olivine City]] are told that bad kids are sent to the islands. In the anime, rumors circulate that families of Lugia reside there.

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 {{OBP|waterfall|obstacle}} basin, longing for the invisible trust between people and Pokémon to manifest once more.

The Whirl Islands are home to the [[Whirl Cup]], a competition held once every three years for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who [[Type expert|specialize]] in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
 
Rumors circulate that families of {{p|Lugia}} reside there. A mother Lugia and her baby, {{OBP|Silver|Lugia}}, were sought by [[Dr. Namba]] and did, in fact, reveal themselves.


There are four main islands, with many smaller ones scattered throughout. Together, the islands in the archipelago form a spiral shape.

According to the [[Nurse Joy]] on Blue Point Isle, the climate varies from island to island.
According to the [[Nurse Joy]] on Blue Point Isle, the climate varies from island to island.
The Whirl Islands were mentioned in ''[[DP115|Stealing the Conversation!]]'' when an [[Officer Jenny]] said she had been relocated there.
===Pokémon Evolutions===
The Whirl Islands appeared briefly in ''[[PE07|The Show]]''. After the [[Kimono Girl]]s held a performance detailing the history of [[Ecruteak City]] and the Legendary Pokémon that used to live there, {{p|Lugia}} itself stirred in the waters of the islands as if in response to its story being told.
==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Whirl Islands Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Whirl Islands in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
The Whirl Islands first appeared in ''[[PS142|Really Remoraid]]'', where [[Morty]] was able to locate {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} there at [[Lt. Surge]]'s request. The two [[Pokédex holder]]s had been brought to the islands by {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Entei}} to recover after they had been defeated by the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. After dealing with a herd of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sandslash}}, Gold and Silver were attacked by {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}. {{adv|Crystal}}, having arrived at the islands as well, soon joined the other two Trainers in their battle against Lugia. Gold was eventually able to lodge Lugia's mouth open with his {{wp|cue stick}}, thus preventing it from using {{m|Aeroblast}} anymore. During the battle, [[Exbo]], [[Silver's Feraligatr]], and [[Megaree]], the Pokédex holders' three [[first partner Pokémon]], evolved simultaneously. Although Crystal came close to {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} Lugia, the {{i|Poké Ball}} that she had tried to use on it turned out to be empty. As the group's [[Pokédex]]es' tracking functions couldn't find Lugia either, they came to realize that [[Masked Man|someone else]] had managed to capture Lugia before Crystal's Poké Ball made contact with it.
In ''[[PS149|Curious Kingdra]]'', Silver traveled to a secret chamber in the Whirl Islands. In order to access it, he needed to use all the different {{type|Water}} [[HM]] moves to get past the natural obstacles protecting its entrance: his {{TP|Silver|Gyarados}}'s {{m|Whirlpool}} to calm down a raging whirlpool, his {{p|Kingdra}}'s {{m|Waterfall}} to split up the {{OBP|waterfall|obstacle}} covering the entrance, and his {{TP|Silver|Feraligatr}}'s {{m|Surf}} to ride across the pool of water in front of it. In the chamber, he encountered its owner, [[Lance]], whom he returned the {{p|Tyranitar}} he had borrowed from him to, after which he demanded information about the Masked Man's plans from him. Using the clues at his disposal, Lance was able to figure out that the Masked Man's goal was to control {{adv|Celebi|time itself}}.
===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
In ''[[PS445|Dealing with a Koffing Fit]]'', Silver returned to Lance's chamber, only to find [[Clair]] there instead of Lance. Clair, having been unable to contact her cousin for a while, had come to investigate the chamber to see if she could find Lance there. However, the two soon found themselves surrounded by a massive group of {{p|Koffing}}. Silver was easily able to defeat them all with his Pokémon, even {{m|Thief|stealing}} a [[Plate|suspicious item]] from one of them in the process. As a result of all the [[experience]] gained during the battle, Silver's {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Murkrow}} then proceeded to evolve into {{TP|Silver|Weavile}} and {{TP|Silver|Honchkrow}}, respectively. Following a clue from Clair, Silver decided to head out to the {{safari|Johto}} next.
===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
[[File:Whirl Islands Golden Boys.png|thumb|250px|Whirl Islands in [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]]]]
The Whirl Islands first appeared in ''[[GB18|Let's Survive This Sea Battle]]'', where {{GnB|Gold}} and {{GnB|Chris}} arrived there. In ''[[GB19|The Truth About The Mysterious Whirl Islands!!]]'', they encountered a {{pkmn2|talking}} {{p|Slowking}}, which demanded that they leave immediately. However, since Gold and Chris's wooden raft had been destroyed by [[Team Rocket]], they could not leave. Slowking revealed that it was in possession of a rubber {{wp|dinghy}}, which it agreed to hand over to them if they fulfilled a request for it. They agreed, and Slowking took them to a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Blastoise}}, which had lived on the islands for a hundred years, but had grown violent recently. Slowking tasked them with defeating it, but even {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} or combination [[move]]s could not deal enough [[damage]]. Eventually, though, Gold managed to lure Blastoise into Slowking's home cave, where it fell into a pond full of {{p|Chinchou}}, whose combined {{m|Spark}} attacks were enough to defeat it. A gust of wind then blew Slowking's [[Silver Feather|Silver Wing]] into Gold's hand and {{p|Lugia}} appeared, challenging Gold.
In ''[[GB20|A Serious Crisis!! The Battle With The Lugia]]'', Gold and Chris tried to fight Lugia, but their attacks phased right through it. Even when Chris's {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s {{m|Flame Wheel}} seemed to have an effect on Lugia's wing, the damage was quickly healed off. Deciding on a tactical retreat, Gold and Chris escaped through an underwater tunnel in Slowking's pond, coming out from another pond on the other side of the islands. Chris, having noticed that Lugia's form was affected by getting into contact with fire and water, figured that Lugia was actually composed of gas, held together by {{t|Psychic}} powers. Impressed by their observational skills, Lugia trapped Gold on a small islet in the midst of a pool of lava and offered him one chance to either defeat it or surrender. Gold refused to give up, so Lugia shattered the islet, disappering as Gold had his Pokémon use {{m|Water Gun}} to solidify the lava and avoid falling into it. He and Chris tried to solidify more lava for him to get back to solid land, but the solidified lava started to crack under his feet. As Chris made a desperate jump to save him, they and their Pokémon were suddenly transported into an underground cave, where they met the real Lugia, who told them that the Lugia they had defeated had been just an illusion. Slowking told them that the real Lugia had to stay in this cave in order to support a stone pillar that was supporting the islands. Even though Lugia hadn't been fighting at full power due to being ill, it still admitted defeat and offered a prize to Gold and Chris. They wished for a ride to [[Cianwood City]], so they boarded an illusionary Lugia to travel there.
In ''[[GB23|Let's Fight For The Future!!]]'', when the [[Black Tyranitar]] attempted to jump over the sea from Cianwood to {{ci|Olivine}}, Gold used his Silver Wing to call Lugia for assistance. Responding to his cry for help, an illusionary Lugia appeared over the Whirl Islands as the Black Tyranitar was flying over them, blasting it straight back to Cianwood City.
==Trivia==
* The whirlpools are based on the real world {{wp|Naruto whirlpools}} on the {{wp|Naruto Strait}}. The islands are based on {{wp|Awaji Island}} and its surrounding islands.
* In [[Generation II]], the player needs to go down a {{OBP|waterfall|obstacle}} if they want to find {{p|Lugia}}, which can be done without the {{m|Waterfall}} [[HM]] move. In [[Generation IV]], the Waterfall HM move is required to go down waterfalls, but the layout of this cave is somewhat different and doesn't require going through any waterfalls in the first place.
* In [[Sinnoh]], a guest at [[Hotel Grand Lake]] by [[Lake Valor]] mentions a {{p|Lugia|silver-colored Pokémon}} at the Whirl Islands.
