'''Azalea Town''' (Japanese: '''ヒワダタウン''' ''Hiwada Town'') is a small, isolated town located on the southern peninsula of the [[Johto]] region. The town is best known for being the residence of [[Kurt]], a custom [[Poké Ball]] creator who makes Poké Balls out of [[Apricorn]]s. He lives in the northwest portion of town on the east edge of [[Ilex Forest]]. Azalea features other notable locations as well, such as the [[Slowpoke Well]], and as such, {{p|Slowpoke}} can be found around the town. The town has two entrances, {{rt|33|Johto}} to the east and [[Ilex Forest]] to the west.

===Charcoal Kiln===
===Charcoal Kiln===
Near the [[Azalea Gym|Gym]] is a small house that houses a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Charcoal}} kiln. The kiln is owned by a family that handles not only the production of the Charcoal, but also the collection of the necessary materials. To acquire the wood necessary for the Charcoal, the family uses a {{p|Farfetch'd}} to {{m|Cut}} down trees in [[Ilex Forest]]. The wood is then treated in the kiln and turned into Charcoal, which is then sold at the local [[Poké Mart]], making Charcoal the only type-enhancing [[held item]] that can be freely purchased, albeit at a high price.

[[File:HGSS Prerelease Inside Kurt House.png|thumb|200px|The inside of Kurt's house]]
[[Kurt]] (Japanese: '''ガンテツ''' ''Gantetsu'') lives in a house in the northwest corner of Azalea Town. He studies [[Poké Ball]] mechanics, and is known far and wide as a Poké Ball expert, residing there with his granddaughter [[Maisy]] (Japanese: '''チエ''' ''Chie''), and her favorite Pokémon, {{p|Slowpoke}}. There is an [[Apricorn]] tree located next to his house that grows {{DL|Apricorn|Wht Apricorn}}s daily.
Kurt specializes in making custom Poké Balls specifically designed to work more effectively against specific types of Pokémon. The Ball that Kurt makes depends on the Apricorn that is given to Kurt by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. He will offer to make his Apricorn Balls as long as he is brought an Apricorn. By the next day, he will have crafted it into one of his custom Poké Balls, depending on the color of the Apricorn.
When entering Kurt's house for the first time, he will quickly run out after saying something about going to the [[Slowpoke Well]]. He will defeat the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} at the entrance, then will fall into the well and injure his back. After Kurt is injured while trying to stop [[Team Rocket]], the {{player}} has to defeat the Grunts as well as [[Proton]] (Japanese: '''{{tt|ランス|Ransu}}''' ''Lance'') (who is also a regular Grunt in [[Generation II]]) and rescue the kidnapped Slowpoke.

[[Kurt]] lives in a house in the northwest corner of Azalea Town. He studies [[Poké Ball]] mechanics, and is known far and wide as a Poké Ball expert, residing there with his granddaughter [[Maizie]], and her favorite Pokémon, {{p|Slowpoke}}. There is an [[Apricorn]] tree located next to his house that grows [[White Apricorn]]s daily.
Kurt specializes in making custom Poké Balls specifically designed to work more effectively against specific types of Pokémon. The Ball that Kurt makes depends on the Apricorn that is given to Kurt by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. He will offer to make his Apricorn Balls as long as he is brought an Apricorn. By the next day, he will have crafted it into one of his custom Poké Balls, depending on the color of the Apricorn. In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, he can only make one Poké Ball per day, while in the later games, there is no limit to how many he can make at the same time.
When entering Kurt's house for the first time, he will quickly run out after saying something about going to the [[Slowpoke Well]]. He will scare the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} at the entrance, then will fall into the well and injure his back. After Kurt is injured while trying to stop [[Team Rocket]], the {{player}} has to defeat the Grunts as well as [[Proton]] (who is a regular Grunt in [[Generation II]]) and rescue the kidnapped Slowpoke. Once they are defeated, Kurt and Maizie's Slowpoke will return to the house.

===Slowpoke Well===

{{main|Slowpoke Well}}
The Slowpoke Well is a large underground well that Azalea's {{p|Slowpoke}} live and drink. Slowpoke may not be considered to be an important Pokémon outside of Azalea, but in this small southern [[Johto]] town, Slowpoke are placed in high regard and are revered by the community. According to legends in the town, the {{m|Yawn}} of a {{p|Slowpoke}} causes rain. 400 years ago, a drought in Azalea Town ended right when a Slowpoke yawned. This is shown by the existence of the Slowpoke Well in the northeast corner of town near the entrance to {{rt|33|Johto}}. The small well opening leads to an expansive two-level cave heavily populated with Slowpoke located underneath Azalea. Above the Slowpoke well are a row of Headbutt trees, as well as to the left. The second tree to the left side is a special tree, which can be used to more easily obtain Heracross.
Slowpoke Well is where the player first encounters the revived [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Generation II]] games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Generation IV remakes}}, who are cutting off the {{DL|Valuable item|SlowpokeTail|tails}} of Slowpoke to sell at their [[Team Rocket HQ|hideout]] in [[Mahogany Town]]. Before talking to [[Kurt]] at his house, there will be a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} guarding the entrance to the well, and will not let anyone in.
There are two floors; the first one can be explored when [[Team Rocket]] attacks, whereas the other cannot be reached until later. Later in the game, after the player has acquired both {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}}, they can explore the lower floor of the well. There is a man on an island who will give players a {{DL|Held item|King's Rock}} if they talk to him.

==Walking Pokémon effects==
When interacting with [[walking Pokémon]] in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon may occasionally show an altered mood specific to this location.
*Outdoor: The Pokémon occasionally catches the scent of smoke.
*Inside Charcoal Kiln's house: The Pokémon greet Farfetch'd. Heat from the heater displeases {{type|Water}} Pokémon and to a lesser degree, {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, but makes {{type|Fire}} Pokémon cheerful.
*Inside Kurt's House: The Pokémon occasionally stares at various items.
*Slowpoke Well's entrance cave: The ground is wet and therefore, pleases Water-type Pokémon and displeases Fire-type Pokémon. Other walking Pokémon become more cautious.
*Slowpoke Well's interior: The walking Pokémon becomes very cautious. Slowpoke react happily inside this cave.

[[File:Azalea Town anime.png|thumb|250px|Azalea Town in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Azalea Town appeared in ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]'', ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', and ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} helped Kurt to drive {{TRT}} out of the Slowpoke Well, after which they delivered the [[GS Ball]] to the Poké Ball maker. Kurt also showed Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} how Apricorn Poké Balls are made, and gave them a {{ball|Fast}} each. After foiling yet another of Team Rocket's plans, during which Brock used his Fast Ball to catch himself a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}}, Ash challenged and beat the Azalea Gym, earning his second Johto League Badge. Before leaving the town, Maisy gave Ash and company one more Apricorn Poké Ball each made for them by Kurt, with Ash and Misty receiving a {{ball|Lure}} each and Brock receiving a {{ball|Heavy}}.
In ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived at Azalea Town. However, the [[Azalea Gym]] and many of the city's public buildings were closed because of a long-lasting drought. Ash managed to anger the citizens after he stepped on a {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail, and in their escape, the trio found [[Kurt]], the [[Poké Ball]] expert. Kurt explained that Slowpoke are regarded as sacred in Azalea Town, following a 400-year-old legend in which the Dopey Pokémon brought rain to the area and ended a drought. Slowpoke roam freely throughout Azalea Town, with special Slowpoke warning signs located throughout to warn people to be wary of where they step. After they helped Kurt drive {{TRT}} out of the [[Slowpoke Well]], rain began to fall, causing the main river to flow again and Azalea Town's surrounding landscape became green once again.

In ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', Ash {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} delivered the [[GS Ball]] to Kurt and learned about [[Apricorn]] Poké Balls from him. As thanks for their efforts in foiling Team Rocket's plans, Kurt gave them one [[Fast Ball]] each. Kurt's granddaughter [[Maizie]] took the trio on a tour through the nearby Apricorn forest, where Brock managed to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} himself a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} with his new Fast Ball and the group collected some Apricorns for Kurt to turn into Poké Balls.
 
Ash challenged and beat the Azalea Gym, earning his second [[Johto League]] [[Badge]], in ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]''. Before leaving the town, Maizie gave Ash and his friends one more Apricorn Poké Ball each, all made for them by Kurt from the Apricorns they had collected; Ash and Misty both received a [[Lure Ball]] and Brock received a [[Heavy Ball]].
 
In ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]'', [[Goh]] visited Azalea Town for a holiday vacation with his family, something they had also done three years prior to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Azalea Town first appeared in ''[[PS101|Teddiursa's Picnic]]'', when {{adv|Gold}} arrived there. He was introduced to [[Apricorn]]s by [[Maizie]] after spitting out what he thought was an edible fruit. He also exchanged a different Apricorn for a [[Friend Ball]], created by [[Kurt]]. In [[PS102|the next chapter]], he gave Maizie a {{p|Teddiursa}} that he had caught with the Friend Ball, while {{adv|Silver}} defeated the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s trying to steal [[Slowpoke Tail]]s at the [[Slowpoke Well]].
 
In ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'', {{adv|Bill}} used the [[Pokémon Storage System]] to send countless Pokémon to the Azalea Town [[Pokémon Center]], from which they moved on to [[Ilex Forest]], where they connected with {{adv|Tower duo|Lugia and Ho-Oh}} and relayed them their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' strong desire for the fighting to stop, freeing the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] from the [[Masked Man]]'s control.
 
===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Azalea Town first appeared in ''[[GB06|Get up Again, Bayleef]]'', where {{GnB|Gold}} arrived there after his confrontation with his [[rival]] {{GnB|Black}} in [[Union Cave]], during which Black had abandoned the {{TP|Gold|Bayleef}} he had once stolen from [[Professor Elm]] as a {{p|Chikorita}}. After Bayleef had been treated at the [[Pokémon Center]], Gold met [[Bugsy]], who took him to the [[Azalea Gym]] for a Gym battle. Utilizing Bayleef in the battle against [[Bugsy's Scyther]], Gold was not only able to defeat the [[Gym Leader]] and earn himself a {{badge|Hive}}, but also restore Bayleef's self-confidence.
 
In ''[[GB07|The Great Search! Let's Rescue The Slowpoke!]]'', Gold met [[Kurt]], who told him that all of the town's {{p|Slowpoke}} had disappeared. The culprits behind this eventually turned out to be [[Team Rocket]], whom Gold and Kurt confronted at the [[Slowpoke Well]]. After Team Rocket had been driven away and the Slowpoke had been rescued from the flooding well, Kurt gave Gold a [[Level Ball]] as a sign of gratitude.
 
===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Azalea Town appeared in ''[[PM078|Find Slowpoke!!]]'', where {{PPM|Red}} stopped {{PPM|Giovanni}} from stealing the tails of the local {{p|Slowpoke}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* ''[[Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|Sevii Islands: Four & Five Islands]]'' is a remix of ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Azalea Town]]'' from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, which is played on [[Four Island (town)|Four]] and {{OBP|Five Island|town}}s in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

** The music for the [[Pokémon.com]] [[Pokémon.com online games|online game]] Emolga's Apple Adventure is also a remix of this theme.
* When the player first encounters the boy that lost the {{p|Farfetch'd}} in the [[Generation II]] games, his overworld sprite uses the green palette; when he is back at the house, his palette is colored blue instead.

* In the [[Generation II]] games, {{ga|Silver}} uses a {{p|Croconaw}} at [[level]] 16, even though {{p|Totodile}} only evolves into Croconaw at level 18. This was corrected in the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* In the [[Generation II]] games, if {{ga|Silver}} stole Totodile from the lab, he uses a {{p|Croconaw}} at [[level]] 16, even though {{p|Totodile}} only evolves into Croconaw at level 18. This was corrected in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, in which his Croconaw is level 18.
* Inside [[Kurt]]'s house, there is a picture on the wall that displays the text "''A young Professor Oak?''" when studied. This could be a hint towards a relationship between [[Kurt]] and [[Professor Oak]] when they were younger. It could also be a possible reference to the events of ''[[M04|Pokémon 4Ever - Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''; the movie features a young [[Samuel Oak]] and his relationship with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Celebi}}, which could be linked to Celebi's shrine in the nearby [[Ilex Forest]].
* Inside [[Kurt]]'s house, there is a picture on the wall that displays the text "''A young Professor Oak?''" when studied, implying [[Kurt]] and [[Professor Oak]] met each other when they were younger.
* According to the English April 24, 2000 Build, "Azalea Town" was originally named "Azalea City."
