Gringey City

Gringey City (Japanese: グンジョンシティ Gunjon City) is a location that exists only in the Pokémon anime. It is located in between Celadon City and Fuchsia City.

According to a map that Misty owned, Gringey City was originally bustling with activity, but the city then overexpanded on the factories and power plants, resulting in the town becoming virtually abandoned as well as the sea nearby becoming polluted.

Gringey City was featured in the episode Sparks Fly For Magnemite. Ash's Pikachu was sick, and the nearest Pokémon Center was located there. Suddenly, the power in the town went out. This was due to a large amount of Grimer clogging the tunnels where the water went to power the generators.

It was here where Pikachu notably came down with a 'cold' caused by a build-up of electricty. This attracted a Magnemite thanks to the sparks coming out of Pikachu's cheeks which in turn made Pikachu magnetized.

Pikachu, along with the Magnemite and several Magneton were able to ward off the Grimer. They also weakened a Muk, which Ash ended up capturing.

It's likely that Gringey City is based on Kanto's Power Plant in the games, since Muk was added to the Power Plant in Pokémon Yellow.
