Sevault Canyon: Difference between revisions

Unless there is a correlation between the names, then this doesn't belong as "name origin". Also, "interestingly enough" is really not a good thing to say in articles.

'''Sevault Canyon''' (Japanese: '''しっぽうけいこく''' ''Canyon of the Seven Treasures'') is an area on [[Quest Island]] in the [[Sevii Islands]] which includes the [[Tanoby Key]] and leads south to the [[Tanoby Ruins]]. It is a particularly long route and there are many high-level Trainers to face. It is also notably the sole habitat of wild {{p|Larvitar}} accessible in [[Generation III]].

At the southern end of the canyon, there is a small house, in which an [[Non-player character|NPC]] will ask the player if he/she wants to do the Chansey Dance (ラッキーダンス), which background music is that of the [[Hoenn]] [[Pokémon Trainers' School]]. If the player replies affirmatively, their character will perform a short dance and, as a result, all Pokémon in the party will be healed. This facilitates exploration of the [[Tanoby Ruins]], so that players can catch all of the {{p|Unown}}, before returning to the main town of {{OBP|Seven Island|town}}.

A {{tc|Black Belt}}, looking over a cliff about halfway through the canyon, tells the player that [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]] used to train in Sevault Canyon with [[Brawly]], [[Dewford Town]]'s [[Gym Leader]].

The name "Sevault" means "seven vaults", being a nod to the Japanese name. ''Shippō'' (七宝) translates to "Seven Treasures" and refers to the precious and semi-precious materials of {{wp|gold}}, {{wp|silver}}, {{wp|pearl}}s, {{wp|agate}}, {{wp|quartz}}, {{wp|Precious coral|coral}}, and {{wp|lapis lazuli}}.
 
===Name origins===
The name "Sevault" is apparently a combination of "seven" and "vault"; this is a reference to the Japanese name, しっぽう ''Shippō''. ''Shippō'' (七宝) translates to "seven treasures" and refers to the precious and semi-precious materials of {{wp|gold}}, {{wp|silver}}, {{wp|pearl}}s, {{wp|agate}}, {{wp|quartz}}, {{wp|Coral (precious)|coral}}, and {{wp|lapis lazuli}}. Interestingly enough, three of the materials became the names of Pokémon games, while one is the name of [[Agate Village|a town in Orre]], and yet another is the Japanese name of the [[Indigo Plateau|location of one of the Pokémon Leagues]]. Shippō would again be used as the Japanese name of [[Nacrene City|a city in Unova]].
