Places of Interest
Hot Springs
Located behind the Pokémon Center. The people draw as much hot water as they need, yet the spring never runs dry. The magma in the active volcano causes veins of water nearby to well up as hot springs. According to legend, the Lavaridge hotsprings calm tension, relieve muscle ache, solve romantic problems, and attract money. An old couple relaxing at the springs will give away a Pokémon egg containing a Wynaut. There is also an Ice Heal hidden in the water.
Pokémon Herb Shop
"Bitter taste - better cure!" The Herb Shop sells four different types of herbal medicine. The herbs are extremely bitter and will cause a Pokémon's Happiness to decrease when used. An old man inside of the shop will give the player Charcoal.

Demographics
The population of Lavaridge Town is 23. This low number is probably due, in part, to Lavaridge's location high up in the mountains. It is probably based on Aso City in Mount Aso region in Kumamoto on Kyushu island given its hot spring and volcano references.
Name origin
Lavaridge comes from lava, molten rock expelled from a volcano, and ridge, a raised land formation commonly associated with volcanic activity.
