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 ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived at Azalea Town.

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}}. | In ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', Ash {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} delivered the [[GS Ball]] to Kurt and learned about [[Apricorn]] Poké Balls from him.
