Lavender Town
Lavender Town (Japanese: シオンタウン Shion Town) is a small town located in northeast Kanto, just south of the Rock Tunnel. Though the Lavender Town of Generation I and Generation III is known mainly for ghost sightings in the Pokémon Tower and as the main gravesite of Pokémon, it is noticably modernized in Generation II with the inclusion of a broadcasting station.
North of Lavender is Route 10 and the Rock Tunnel. West of the town is Route 8, while to the south is Route 12 and the Silence Bridge.
