Azalea Town  DESCRIPTION -Azalea Town is one of the more interesting towns of Johto. It contains not only the second Pokemon League Gym, making it essential for Trainers to visit, but the Slowpoke Well to boot, a place of large significance to the town-dwellers. It also used to house Kurt, maker of Poke Balls constructed out of Johto's many apricorns. It also contains an entrance to Ilex Forest. LOCATION -Azalea Town is located on Johto's southern peninsula. PEOPLE - People here are hard-working, if a little superstitious, with the Pokemon world's only source of charcoal originating here, and Kurt's skill with apricorns is still the stuff of legend. Make sure to mention you like Slowpoke - you'll practically become family to whomever you're talking to. RESOURCES/EVENTS/PLACES OF INTEREST - Slowpoke Well: - Azalea's famous landmark, containing more Slowpoke than you can shake a Shellder at. It is said to be quite, quite beautiful under the right circumstances. Poke Mart and Poke Center: - As one would expect from a Town containing a Pokemon Gym, there is a Poke Center and associated Poke Mart near the entrance to the town. Kurt's House: - While the famous Poke Ball maker no longer dabbles with apricorns, one can still visit him and his granddaughter Daisy. If you want apricorn balls, you're better off talking to Quinn. Azalea Gym: - Azaela Town is home to the second gym recognized by the Johto League. The leader here is Tabitha Stark, and she specializes in Poison-type pokemon. She will award the Spirit Badge to those that best her in battle. MYTH/LORE - According to legends of the town, the Yawn of a Slowpoke causes rain. 400 years ago, a drought in Azalea Town ended right when a Slowpoke yawned, explaining why people are so devoted to the Pokemon.

And that's about the time she walked away from me.
No one likes you when you're twenty-three.
Just because I don't wanna miss my TV shows
What the hell is ADD? Blake strode out of the Gym to get some lunch, the understudies were all preoccupied with fixing up some of the Gym Gimmicks and some of them were thinking of trying to earn Brownie Points with the Gym Leader. As if, they should all know by now I treat everyone the same. Blake thought with a laugh, Jase and Wesker following behind him. After lunch he was going to stop by Kurt's and check up on him, the Gym Leader liked to ask if he could still make him a pokeball, testing the old man's resolve to stay retired. Blake walked into the Cafe in the town and went to his usual table and ordered him some lunch, knowing full well the table scraps would fall prey to his Glacion and Umbreon. Today however was different, he hoped to see a couple of trainers and then hopefully Professor Rowan would return his call about information about a special Dark-Type found only in Sinnoh. My friends tell me I should act my age.
What's my age again? What's my age again?

What the hell is ADD? ((Since no one is in Azalea right now I think I'll go somewhere a little more crazy.)) When Blake had finished lunch he saw the Gym needed more than just cleaning. After he called in for the renovation crew he got an idea to take a mini-vacation, at least until the Gym was done. "I think I'll head to Mahogany Town, the Gym leader up there is kind of nice when you get to know her, besides I need a good battle." Blake said to himself and Jase and Wesker both voiced their excitement. A few hours later Blake was packed and left a note saying he was in Mahogany. It'd take a while, but luckily Blake had friends going up their so they stopped by Azalea to pick him up, unfortunately Jase and Wesker had to ride in their Pokeballs. My friends tell me I should act my age.

*RING RING RING*
Harley tiredly slapped the snooze button on his alarm.
He crept out of his bed, yawned, and stretched. He headed out of his back door to tend to the animals his parents had raised.
There were Poliwag, Bulbasaur, Pidgey, Sentret, and many others littering the open field.
Harley grabbed his food bucket and began spreading out equal amounts of food to the Pokemon.
"My life wouldn't be like this if I lived in Goldenrod." He thought.
Harley wanted to get out of here. To escape the country life. To be someone.
Nobody seemed to understand.
"Wait a second..."
He noticed that his favorite Pokemon, Staryu, was nowhere to be found.
But, suddenly, something else struck his mind. Today was the day he would leave home...to finally get his own Pokemon.
His father didn't think he was ready in the past. But now was the time.
He dropped the food bucket on the ground, and bolted back inside.
The old raggedy screen door slammed open as Harley ran inside to grab his things.
"Alright...back pack, extra clothes, jacket, gloves, Pokeballs..."
He named off the necessary items for his journey.
Harley's dad, Jacob appeared at the door.
Harley turned around.
"...dad"
...
"Harley...I can't believe it's already time for you to leave..."
"Yeah...me neither...I don't know if I'm ready, dad..."
"Of course you're ready, Harley...You're gonna have the time of your life."
The room was silent for what seemed like hours.
"Harley..."
"Yes, dad?"
"I never wanted to be a breeder."
Harley was shocked.
"Wait, what? Dad, you love breeding Pokemon!"
"Well, yes, now...but that wasn't the original plan."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Harley...I've always wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer. To defeat the Pokemon League Gym Leaders, and become a champion. To be someone."
Maybe Harley's father did understand what he was going through...
"Dad, what do you mean, you wanted to be someone? You are the greatest breeder in Johto!"
"Well..."
Jacob's serious expression turned into a smile.
"I guess I am the best."
They both chuckled.
...
"...son?"
"Hmm?"
"I have something to give you before you leave."
"R-really?"
Jacob nodded.
"Here", Jacob said as he held out a Pokeball.
"What's this?"
"That's...that's you're first Pokemon, Harley."
Harley's face lit up.
"No way! What is it?"
"Well, I know how much you love my Staryu,"
Jacob was quickly interrupted.
"What? You're giving me Staryu?!"
Jacob nodded.
Harley looked down at the Pokeball in his hand...
And hugged his father.

 Jacob's eyes began to water.
"Harley...I love you."
"I love you too, dad...I've gotta ask you though, why are you giving me Staryu? He's your favorite Pokemon!"
"Well, Harley, that Staryu possesses the rare and powerful move, Psychic. And it would be the perfect Pokemon for you to start with, since you love it so much." said Jacob, with tears slowly streaming down his face.
"Wow, dad...thanks alot."
Jacob smiled, and hugged Harley again.
"Well, I guess it's time for you to leave, huh, Harley?"
Harley sniveled and wiped tears from his eyes.
"You're right, dad. Let me just go grab my stuff."
Jacob nodded.
"God, I hope he's ready..." He said to himself.
Harley stepped outside his room with his old green hoodie and backpack on.
Jacob smiled widely as he saw his son.
"Who am I kidding, of course he's ready..." He thought.
"Well, dad, I guess this is goodbye."
Harley slid Staryu's Pokeball on his backpack's bandolier.
"Yeah...goodbye, son."
They hugged yet again.
"Bye, dad." Harley said in mid-embrace.
Harley slowly walked out the door.
Jacob smiled, knowing his son was finally ready to go off on his adventure.

Azalea Town
Harley emerged from his house and looked out at the small village he called home.
He wasn't going to miss it.
It was the people we would miss.
We began walking, and he passed his neighbor's, the Rose's house.
The youngest of the Rose children, Thomas, sprung out of the door, crying, and ran straight to Harley.
He latched onto Harley's leg.
Harley dropped his bag and picked Thomas up.
"Why do you have to leave, Harley?!" He cried in a high-pitched voice.
"Well, little buddy, it's my destiny to become a Pokemon Trainer."
"But what if I never see you again?"
Thomas said, with tears still in his eyes.
"Ah, c'mon, I'll be alright. I'll visit you some time!"
"Y-you will?"
"Of course, little buddy. Now what I want you to do, is take care of your mother, you got that?"
"Alright, Harley. I can do it..."
Thomas wrapped his arms around Harley's neck.
"Bye, Harley."
"Bye, buddy. I'll miss you."
Thomas ran to his door to see his mother waiting.
She waved to Harley and smiled.
Harley waved back and picked up his bag.
Maybe the country life isn't so bad after all...
He thought to himself.
"But that won't stop me from becoming a Pokemon Trainer!"
He hefted his bag back onto his back and began walking again.
All the people of the town waved him off on his journey as he walked to the path to Ilex Forest.
He stopped, turned around, and looked at the people of Azalea.
"I really am gonna miss this place."
He walked forward, and disappeared into the forest.

What the hell is ADD? Blake walked into town just as the sun had risen. "Ah, so nice to be back isn't it Wes?" Blake said with a smile and the Umbreon voiced its happiness by running around in circles. Blake waited until he was done before continuing on to the Gym to see if it was ready. Blake walked all the way to his waiting area and pressed the on switch. Instantly the puzzle path was swathed in darkness. "Excellent, well I guess we'll get the understudies in here and give it a good shine, you know what, the first challenger I get I won't have those kids out, I just hope it's sometime soon." Blake said with a smile and yawned. "We had better hit the hay dude, c'mon lets go home." Blake said with a smile as the two headed for his personal residence. It was a simple little house, spacious enough for guests and it had a full kitchen, bathrooms and a game room. Then came Blake's bedroom, which was extremely cozy, especially to the tired Gym Leader. Blake kicked off his shoes and fell on his bed and went to sleep. My friends tell me I should act my age.
What's my age again? What's my age again?

 Seth Walker
Pokemon Newbie
"Loony! Stop throwing Poke Balls at me!" Seth emerged from Union Cave, Diego still perched atop his shoulder and Toby still at his feet - the Totodile hadn't had as much time battling as, say, Domo or Loony, and Seth had rectified that in the Cave, the Water-type decimating the many Hikers in the Cave; he didn't have the type advantage he did in Violet City, but he was thinking that Diego was maturing quite rapidly. So long as the Riolu was all right with it, Seth wanted to start training the Emanation Pokemon in battle; he assumed there was some natural talent, but he also assumed it would need cultivating. He set up his tent just outside of Azalea Town, nearer the Slowpoke Well in fact (recalling vaguely that he had decided back in Violet to descend and catch himself a Slowpoke, before evolving it into a Slowking), releasing his Pokemon as he did so; he preferred to sleep with them in the open air, instead of remaining inside their Poke Balls, and tonight was no exception . . . :: Pokemon Roster ::

Pokemon Newbie
"Loony! Stop throwing Poke Balls at me!" Seth had woken early, making sure not to disturb Toby and Loony - he didn't doubt Domo and Fred could sleep through anything - getting dressed as quickly and unobtrusively as possible, before slipping outside, where Diego was sitting, looking as if he were trying to meditate. "You OK there, Diego?" The little Riolu looked around, the bandit black around his eyes creasing slightly as he shrugged, not quite sure what he was doing. "Fair enough . . . well, I know you're pretty young, but I also know that it's no good mollycoddling you because of that, otherwise you'll end up never learning to fight - and I'm willing to bet you'd end up resenting me for that, given the type of Pokemon you are. So let's get started - the Pokedex says you know Quick Attack, Force Palm, Hi Jump Kick and Cross Chop, so let's start with the basic one, Quick Attack. Urhm . . ." He looked around for something for them to practice on, eventually settling on a tree stump and an apple tree beside it - the young trainer plucked a ripe apple from the tree, placed it on the stump, and walked back to Diego, an idea in his mind. "OK, so, see the apple?" Diego nodded, a little confused but mostly hungry. "See how quickly you can get from here to there when I say - Quick Attack!" The Riolu walked over to the stump and ate the apple. "This could take a while . . .":: Pokemon Roster ::

What the hell is ADD? Blake finished battling one of the more fiery of his understudies. The kid had been unable to keep up with Brian. "Nice try kid, but I win and I'm still the leader." Blake said with a smile as the kid left to go to the Pokemon Center. "You know Brian, you've been awful eager since you learned Psycho Cut, I have to say though you should calm down, Azalea is a quiet place and I'm the Gym Leader, so we're going to be here until someone replaces me." Blake said and the Absol yawned and laid down. My friends tell me I should act my age.

"Loony! Stop throwing Poke Balls at me!" After a few hours of training his Pokemon (the rest of his team had woken up after about an hour of Seth's - mostly - successful attempts to introduce Diego to battling), Seth decided that it was probably a good idea to scout the gym out, create a battle strategy, and then head on in. Thus, about lunchtime in Azalea Town, Seth trooped toward the gym, Toby riding on his foot, and stopped up in front of the gym sign. "Dark and Ice . . . Diego'll have an advantage . . . and Akio's TM . . ." Seth pulled out the red TM disc he'd been given by Akio upon defeating him; it apparently contained TM35, or Flamethrower, which would be quite useful against Blake's Ice-types. He released Domo for a moment, using the TM on the Normal-type Pokemon, before recalling the Munchlax. It looked like Domo would be up first, then - but he'd have to be careful. Only Diego had any moves capable of laying any hurt on Dark-types, so he'd have to protect the Riolu, perhaps leave him until last. Seth took a deep breath, gave Toby a thumbs-up (which the Totodile returned with his typical toothy grin), and headed into the gym, passing a rather pale-skinned trainer on the way. :: Pokemon Roster ::

What the hell is ADD? Seth would have the choice of the long way or the short way. The long way was shrouded in darkness and the floors were icy and slippery, but the short way was filled with all the understudies in the gym. Blake was busy grooming his Pokemon after the battle. My friends tell me I should act my age.

"Loony! Stop throwing Poke Balls at me!" Seth peeked down the route on the left, the path shrouded in darkness, with the little light showing that there was ice on the floor - he then peeked down the route on the right, before instantly bringing his head back. There were no small number of understudies that way, the number of them made clear by the bright light overhead. He looked left. He looked right. He looked left again. And sighed as he went left. Three seconds later . . ."Oooph!" There was the sound of shoes scuffing on ice, the sound of zips and other bits of metal grating on ice, and then the sound of a weight smacking into what felt like a wall of ice, followed by an "Ow . . ." as Seth pulled himself back on his feet, using the wall as a guide toward the next bit of the path - he imagined this was a little like what being blind felt like, since he could only see black, and very slightly lighter shades of black where the walls of ice were. This was going to take a while. :: Pokemon Roster ::
