Near the [[Azalea Gym|Gym]] is a small house that houses a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Charcoal}} kiln. The kiln is owned by a family that handles not only the production of the Charcoal, but also the collection of the necessary materials. To acquire the wood necessary for the Charcoal, the family uses a {{p|Farfetch'd}} to {{m|Cut}} down trees in [[Ilex Forest]]. The wood is then treated in the kiln and turned into Charcoal, which is then sold at the local [[Poké Mart]], making Charcoal the only type-enhancing [[held item]] that can be freely purchased, albeit at a high price. | |||

When entering Kurt's house for the first time, he will quickly run out after saying something about going to the [[Slowpoke Well]]. He will defeat the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} at the entrance, then will fall into the well and injure his back. After Kurt is injured while trying to stop [[Team Rocket]], the {{player}} has to defeat the Grunts as well as [[Proton]] (Japanese: '''{{tt|ランス|Ransu}}''' ''Lance'') (who is also a regular Grunt in [[Generation II]]) and rescue the kidnapped Slowpoke. | When entering Kurt's house for the first time, he will quickly run out after saying something about going to the [[Slowpoke Well]].

The Slowpoke Well is a large underground well that Azalea's {{p|Slowpoke}} live and drink. Slowpoke may not be considered to be an important Pokémon outside of Azalea, but in this small southern [[Johto]] town, Slowpoke are placed in high regard and are revered by the community. According to legends in the town, the {{m|Yawn}} of a {{p|Slowpoke}} causes rain. 400 years ago, a drought in Azalea Town ended right when a Slowpoke yawned. This is shown by the existence of the Slowpoke Well in the northeast corner of town near the entrance to {{rt|33|Johto}}. The small well opening leads to an expansive two-level cave heavily populated with Slowpoke located underneath Azalea. Above the Slowpoke well are a row of Headbutt trees, as well as to the left. The second tree to the left side is a special tree, which can be used to more easily obtain Heracross. | The Slowpoke Well is a large underground well that Azalea's {{p|Slowpoke}} live and drink.

Azalea Town Gym - Johto Gym #2

| ||||||||
Location Location of Azalea Town in Johto. | ||||||||
|
Azalea Town (Japanese: ヒワダタウン Hiwada Town) is a small, isolated town located on the southern peninsula of the Johto region. The town is best known for being the residence of Kurt, a custom Poké Ball creator who makes Poké Balls out of Apricorns. He lives in the northwest portion of town on the east edge of Ilex Forest. Azalea features other notable locations as well, such as the Slowpoke Well, and as such, Slowpoke can be found around the town. The town has two entrances, Route 33 to the east and Ilex Forest to the west.
Pokémon Trainers must journey to Azalea Town in order to win the Hive Badge from Bugsy, the Azalea Gym Leader who specializes in Bug-type Pokémon.
Places of interest
Azalea Gym
- Main article: Azalea Gym
The Azalea Gym is located on the southwestern side of the town. It is where Bugsy hands out the Hive Badge to Trainers that beat him.
Charcoal Kiln
Near the Gym is a small house that houses a Charcoal kiln. The kiln is owned by a family that handles not only the production of the Charcoal, but also the collection of the necessary materials. To acquire the wood necessary for the Charcoal, the family uses a Farfetch'd to Cut down trees in Ilex Forest. The wood is then treated in the kiln and turned into Charcoal, which is then sold at the local Poké Mart, making Charcoal the only type-enhancing held item that can be freely purchased, albeit at a high price.
Kurt's House
Kurt (Japanese: ガンテツ Gantetsu) lives in a house in the northwest corner of Azalea Town. He studies Poké Ball mechanics, and is known far and wide as a Poké Ball expert, residing there with his granddaughter Maisy (Japanese: チエ Chie), and her favorite Pokémon, Slowpoke. There is an Apricorn tree located next to his house that grows Wht Apricorns daily.
Kurt specializes in making custom Poké Balls specifically designed to work more effectively against specific types of Pokémon. The Ball that Kurt makes depends on the Apricorn that is given to Kurt by Trainers. He will offer to make his Apricorn Balls as long as he is brought an Apricorn. By the next day, he will have crafted it into one of his custom Poké Balls, depending on the color of the Apricorn.
When entering Kurt's house for the first time, he will quickly run out after saying something about going to the Slowpoke Well. He will defeat the Team Rocket Grunt at the entrance, then will fall into the well and injure his back. After Kurt is injured while trying to stop Team Rocket, the player has to defeat the Grunts as well as Proton (Japanese: ランス Lance) (who is also a regular Grunt in Generation II) and rescue the kidnapped Slowpoke.
Slowpoke Well
- Main article: Slowpoke Well
The Slowpoke Well is a large underground well that Azalea's Slowpoke live and drink. Slowpoke may not be considered to be an important Pokémon outside of Azalea, but in this small southern Johto town, Slowpoke are placed in high regard and are revered by the community. According to legends in the town, the Yawn of a Slowpoke causes rain. 400 years ago, a drought in Azalea Town ended right when a Slowpoke yawned. This is shown by the existence of the Slowpoke Well in the northeast corner of town near the entrance to Route 33. The small well opening leads to an expansive two-level cave heavily populated with Slowpoke located underneath Azalea. Above the Slowpoke well are a row of Headbutt trees, as well as to the left. The second tree to the left side is a special tree, which can be used to more easily obtain Heracross.
Slowpoke Well is where the player first encounters the revived Team Rocket in the Generation II games and their Generation IV remakes, who are cutting off the tails of Slowpoke to sell at their hideout in Mahogany Town. Before talking to Kurt at his house, there will be a Team Rocket Grunt guarding the entrance to the well, and will not let anyone in.
There are two floors; the first one can be explored when Team Rocket attacks, whereas the other cannot be reached until later. Later in the game, after the player has acquired both Surf and Strength, they can explore the lower floor of the well. There is a man on an island who will give players a King's Rock if they talk to him.

In the anime
Azalea Town appeared in A Shadow of a Drought, Going Apricorn!, and Gettin' The Bugs Out. Ash and his friends helped Kurt to drive Team Rocket out of the Slowpoke Well, after which they delivered the GS Ball to the Poké Ball maker. Kurt also showed Ash, Brock, and Misty how Apricorn Poké Balls are made, and gave them a Fast Ball each. After foiling yet another of Team Rocket's plans, during which Brock used his Fast Ball to catch himself a Pineco, Ash challenged and beat the Azalea Gym, earning his second Johto League Badge. Before leaving the town, Maisy gave Ash and company one more Apricorn Poké Ball each made for them by Kurt, with Ash and Misty receiving a Lure Ball each and Brock receiving a Heavy Ball.

Trivia
- Azalea's Japanese motto is ポケモンと ひとが ともになかよくくらすまち "The town where Pokémon and man live together".
- Sevii Islands: Four & Five Islands (Japanese: ナナシマ4・5の島) is a remix of Azalea Town (Japanese: ヒワダタウン) from Generation II, which is played on Four and Five Islands in FireRed and LeafGreen.
- When the player first encounters the boy that lost the Farfetch'd in Generation II, his overworld sprite uses the green palette; when he is back at the house, his palette is colored blue instead.
- Azalea is the first location with a Gym in the games that is a town rather than a city.
- However, one of Cinnabar Island's Japanese names contains the word Town.
- Azalea's town motto in Generation II was "Where People and Pokémon Live in Happy Harmony!"
- In Generation II, Silver uses a Croconaw on level 16, even though Totodile evolves into Croconaw on level 18. This was corrected in the remakes.
