[[File:Lance shop.png|thumb|left|150px|[[Lance]] discovers the secret staircase in Mahogany Town]]
There is no [[Poké Mart]] in Mahogany Town, only a small shop in the middle of town which is known as '''Just a Souvenir Shop''' (Japanese: '''おみやげやさん''' ''souvenir shop'') in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for Pokémon training. The shop is run by a creepy old man, that seems very suspicious. However, the shop is actually just a cover up for the [[Team Rocket HQ]], of which the stairway down to the hideout is concealed under a gold cabinet. After Team Rocket was run out of town, the old man abandoned the shop and is later inhabited by an old lady who sets up a small shop selling items that "nobody else has".

Inside the little store are tables of random assortments of items. On the northern wall stands a giant gold cabinet, which conceals a entryway to an underground base. When the cabinet was moved by [[Lance]], the secret entrance was discovered, and remains uncovered when the old lady runs the store. The counter is located on the western side of the shop, where the shopkeeper serves various items. There is also a calculator and a radio on the counter of the shop.

Outside the shop, the old lady's granddaughter sits and promotes the store. She claims that her grandmother sells stuff that nobody else has, however, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, nothing that her grandmother sells is unique to the shop. Only in [[Generation II]] does the old lady sell the [[RageCandyBar]], an unique item that can only be bought from a salesman blocking the way out of Mahogany before the events of Team Rocket and the old lady after they are ran out of town. While inside, the old lady, who makes whistling noises with her false teeth, serves people with items similar to which a Poké Mart would sell.

[[Image:Transmitter Room.png|thumb|right|The transmitter room]]
The Team Rocket HQ is the headquarters and a hideout for [[Team Rocket]], located beneath the heart of Mahogany Town, and the entrance is located under a cabinet in the souvenir shop. The hideout was originally used as a base for ninjas that once resided here, giving the town the motto "''Home of the Ninja''" ("''Welcome to the Home of the Ninja!''" in [[Generation II]]). However, after the ninjas left, Team Rocket used the headquarters as a power source to send out high-frequency sound waves, which disturbed the Pokémon in Mahogany Town, [[Lake of Rage]], and other surrounding locations, and affected their evolution patterns. It is also the source of the problems occurring at the lake, involving the appearance of a [[Red Gyarados]].

The upper floor of the base contains {{p|Persian}} statues with security cameras in their eyes—walking past one triggers two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s to battle the player until they deactivate the cameras using a switch in the center of the area. The far left hallway bypasses most of the Persian cameras, but the floor is booby-trapped with {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Geodude}}, which {{pkmn|battle}} the {{player}} and have a tendency to {{m|Selfdestruct}}. The second floor contains the generator room where six {{p|Electrode}} power the radio transmitter. The room is locked and requires a password to open. The third floor contains workstations, and a passage back onto the second floor leads to the rear of the hideout where the main office is located. The office is also locked and requires two passwords to open.

===In the main series===
[[File:Mahogany Town anime.png|thumb|200px|Mahogany Town in the anime]]
The outskirts of Mahogany Town appeared in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', where the rampaging [[Red Gyarados]] was approaching the city, but the city was saved when [[Pryce]] had his {{p|Dewgong}} freeze the river, forcing Gyarados to turn around.
 
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in Mahogany Town in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' in order to have a Gym battle with Pryce. However, Pryce was unwilling to accept Ash's challenge. The reason was explained to be that since Pryce had lost his {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} when he was younger, he had grown bitter and distant to Pokémon. After Ash and his friends helped Pryce find his Piloswine, which had been frozen in ice for all these years, Pryce accepted Ash's challenge.
 
Ash's [[Mahogany Gym]] battle with Pryce took place in ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]''. The final round of the battle took place between [[Ash's Pikachu]] and Pryce's Piloswine, but in the middle of the battle, Pryce forfeited the match, seeing that Piloswine was getting tired and not wanting his old friend to get hurt too much. As such, Ash was then rewarded with the {{badge|Glacier}}.

===In Pokémon Generations===
Mahogany Town appeared in the [[Pokémon Generations]] episode ''[[PG04|The Lake of Rage]]'', where [[Lance]] was seen breaking through the secret door inside the souvenir shop, finding the entrance to the [[Team Rocket HQ]] from behind it. He was soon joined in his raid of the [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] lair by {{ga|Ethan}}. Lance eventually managed to destroy Team Rocket's radio wave generator, thus ending their plan of forcing Pokémon to evolve.

Mahogany Town (Japanese: チョウジタウン Chōji Town) is a small town in northern Johto where ninjas once resided in what eventually became the Team Rocket HQ. There are three exits out of town. To the west is Route 42, to the east is Route 44, and to the north is Route 43, which leads directly to the famous Lake of Rage.

Pokémon Trainers must come to Mahogany Town in order to win the Glacier Badge from Pryce, the Mahogany Gym Leader who specializes in Ice-type Pokémon. Mahogany is a quiet, relaxed town, and has no Poké Mart. Instead, there is a shop used by Team Rocket as a base. After Team Rocket is defeated, it is converted into a store run by a little old lady.

When the town is first entered, there is a man blocking the eastern exit who wants to sell the player a RageCandyBar, although, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, even after buying the RageCandyBar, the man will still not let the player pass, saying that the player needs to see the attractions in the town and the surrounding area. In order to exit to Route 44 and the Ice Path and to remove the man from the exit, Team Rocket must be removed from the Team Rocket HQ as well as the Goldenrod Radio Tower.

Just a Souvenir Shop

Lance discovers the secret staircase in Mahogany Town

There is no Poké Mart in Mahogany Town, only a small shop in the middle of town which is known as Just a Souvenir Shop (Japanese: おみやげやさん souvenir shop) in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. It is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for Pokémon training. The shop is run by a creepy old man, that seems very suspicious. However, the shop is actually just a cover up for the Team Rocket HQ, of which the stairway down to the hideout is concealed under a gold cabinet. After Team Rocket was run out of town, the old man abandoned the shop and is later inhabited by an old lady who sets up a small shop selling items that "nobody else has".

Inside the little store are tables of random assortments of items. On the northern wall stands a giant gold cabinet, which conceals a entryway to an underground base. When the cabinet was moved by Lance, the secret entrance was discovered, and remains uncovered when the old lady runs the store. The counter is located on the western side of the shop, where the shopkeeper serves various items. There is also a calculator and a radio on the counter of the shop.

Outside the shop, the old lady's granddaughter sits and promotes the store. She claims that her grandmother sells stuff that nobody else has, however, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, nothing that her grandmother sells is unique to the shop. Only in Generation II does the old lady sell the RageCandyBar, a unique item that can only be bought from a salesman blocking the way out of Mahogany before the events of Team Rocket and the old lady after they are ran out of town. While inside, the old lady, who makes whistling noises with her false teeth, serves people with items similar to which a Poké Mart would sell.

Team Rocket HQ

Main article: Team Rocket HQ
The transmitter room

The Team Rocket HQ is the headquarters and a hideout for Team Rocket, located beneath the heart of Mahogany Town, and the entrance is located under a cabinet in the souvenir shop. The hideout was originally used as a base for ninjas that once resided here; however, after the ninjas left, Team Rocket used the headquarters as a power source to send out high-frequency sound waves, which disturbed the Pokémon in Mahogany Town, Lake of Rage, and other surrounding locations, and affected their evolution patterns. It is also the source of the problems occurring at the lake, involving the appearance of a Red Gyarados.

The upper floor of the base contains Persian statues with security cameras in their eyes—walking past one triggers two Team Rocket Grunts to battle the player until they deactivate the cameras using a switch in the center of the area. The far left hallway bypasses most of the Persian cameras, but the floor is booby-trapped with Koffing, Voltorb and Geodude, which battle the player and have a tendency to Selfdestruct. The second floor contains the generator room where six Electrode power the radio transmitter. The room is locked and requires a password to open. The third floor contains workstations, and a passage back onto the second floor leads to the rear of the hideout where the main office is located. The office is also locked and requires two passwords to open.

Mahogany Gym

Main article: Mahogany Gym

The Mahogany Gym is the official Gym of Mahogany Town. It specializes in Ice-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Pryce. Trainers who defeat him receive the Glacier Badge. Pryce cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in Mahogany Town. A man is blocking entry to the Gym: he will only leave once Team Rocket has been defeated at their headquarters and the Gyarados at the nearby Lake of Rage have been calmed.

In the Generation II, in order to get to the leader, one must correctly navigate an ice maze. While in Generation IV games, the maze has been completely changed with several rooms. After Leader Pryce is defeated, he will give the player the Glacier Badge and an Ice-type Technical Machine. This varies from generation to generation: TM16 (Icy Wind) will be given in Generation II, and TM07 (Hail) is given in Generation IV.

In the anime

In the main series

Mahogany Town in the anime

The outskirts of Mahogany Town appeared in Rage of Innocence, where the rampaging Red Gyarados was approaching the city, but the city was saved when Pryce had his Dewgong freeze the river, forcing Gyarados to turn around.

Ash and his friends arrived in Mahogany Town in As Cold as Pryce in order to have a Gym battle with Pryce. However, Pryce was unwilling to accept Ash's challenge. The reason was explained to be that since Pryce had lost his Piloswine when he was younger, he had grown bitter and distant to Pokémon. After Ash and his friends helped Pryce find his Piloswine, which had been frozen in ice for all these years, Pryce accepted Ash's challenge.

Ash's Mahogany Gym battle with Pryce took place in Nice Pryce, Baby!. The final round of the battle took place between Ash's Pikachu and Pryce's Piloswine, but in the middle of the battle, Pryce forfeited the match, seeing that Piloswine was getting tired and not wanting his old friend to get hurt too much. As such, Ash was then rewarded with the Glacier Badge.
