Slowpoke Well, B1F

Kurt scared off the guard outside, but slipped while entering the well and landed on his back. As he is temporarily incapacitated, it's up to you to chase off the other Rockets and save the group of Slowpoke.

After defeating the three other Rockets, you meet the first of the Rocket Executives. Proton introduces himself as the "scariest and cruelest" member of Team Rocket before challenging you to a battle.

Defeated, he and the others disappear. Kurt's back is feeling better now, and after checking on the Slowpoke, shows you back to his home.

Azalea Town

As thanks for saving the Slowpoke, he rewards you with a Fast Ball. Kurt knows more about Apricorns than anyone, and from this point on you can bring him any number of Apricorns to have them transformed into custom Poké Balls by the next day. His granddaughter offers his phone number as a way to check on his progress. Apricorns come in seven different colors, each perfect for a specific type of Poké Ball.

Apricorn		Ball		Effect
	Blk Apricorn		Heavy Ball	Better for heavier Pokémon
	Blu Apricorn		Lure Ball	Better for Pokémon hooked by a fishing rod
	Grn Apricorn		Friend Ball	Makes a Pokémon more friendly
	Pnk Apricorn		Love Ball	Better for Pokémon of the opposite gender, but same species
	Red Apricorn		Level Ball	Better for lower-leveled Pokémon
	Wht Apricorn		Fast Ball	Better for faster Pokémon
	Ylw Apricorn		Moon Ball	Better for Pokémon that evolve with a Moon Stone

With the Rockets gone, it is now possible to challenge the Azalea Gym.

Azalea Gym

Azalea Gym

The Azalea Gym is crawling with Bug-type Pokémon. Fire-, Flying-, and Rock-type attacks all have an advantage when battling insects. The Gym's design includes several Spinarak-like lifts that crawl across planks suspended over large spider webs. At the entrance, take the southwest lift to reach the center platform. Ignore the blue switch here, and take the next lift to the northwest corner. Flip the switch here and take the lift to the west side of the center platform. Flip the red switch and ride the lift to the Gym Leader.

The biggest challenge with Bugsy is his Scyther. This mantis' high Attack lets it hit hard with U-turn before switching out. When used after Leer, this move inflicts even greater damage. Scyther's worst weakness is Rock. If none of your Pokémon know any Rock attacks, then you can use the TM39 from Union Cave to teach Rock Tomb, a move that lowers the target's Speed.
