Floccesy Town: Difference between revisions

'''Floccesy Town''' (Japanese: '''サンギタウン''' ''Sangi Town'') is situated in the southwestern part of the [[Unova]] region. It is home to former [[Unova League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Alder]]. The town used to be a grassy meadow, and was populated by people in search of Pokémon. The two eventually made homes, and started living together. The town may experience [[rain]] during {{DL|Seasons|spring}} and {{DL|Seasons|summer}}, and [[hail]] during {{DL|Seasons|winter}}.

This is the home to former {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Alder]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. His grandson, [[Benga]], and two {{tc|Schoolkid|school kids}} also live here. Alder can be battled here once after completing the game's main story.

Floccesy Town is described as a town surrounded by natural beauty, and is located between [[Aspertia City]] and the {{an|White Ruins}}.  

It appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. On the way there, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were attacked by a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Amoonguss}}, which, as they soon found out, were only some of the many wild mountain Pokémon that had attacked the town recently. Wanting to find the reason to all this, they decided to investigate an old, abandoned observatory on a nearby mountain. On the way there, they encountered [[Looker]], who revealed that he was in [[Unova]] in order to investigate the actions of [[Team Plasma]].

Sure enough, the group soon found out that Team Plasma was behind the mysterious Pokémon rampages. During the group's confrontation with Team Plasma, {{TRT}} used one of their mini-drones to hack Colress's computer and steal his research data. Team Plasma promptly left the observatory and blew it up in their wake, destroying any evidence of their actions there. Afterwards, Ash and his friends continued their journey to the {{an|White Ruins}}, while Looker departed them to continue his investigations.
