Violet City

Violet City is located in central Johto. It is the third city encountered in Johto by the players. Pokémon Trainers often came to Violet City in order to win the Zephyr Badge from Falkner, the Violet Gym Leader, who specialized in Flying-Type Pokémon, before a strange purple haze settled over the city. The city has three entrances, one from the east via Route 31, one from the south via Route 32, and one from the west via Route 36.

Pokemon School
Located in the center of the town is the old Pokémon School, where Trainers used to learn how to raise Pokémon. Inside, desks are turned over, chairs strewn across the room, the shattered remains of the door everywhere. As of recent, somebody was clearly using this building for safety, and somebody else blew the door apart. A dagger sticks out of the chalkboard, with the words "No MoRe RoOm" etched into it.

Sprout Hotel
The large tower in the northern part of the town is a tall and luxurious hotel, standing where Sprout Tower once stood. What once stood as a monument to the idea that humans and Pokémon could coexist was torn down to turn Violet City into a tourist destination. It's said that shortly after construction finished, the purple haze appeared.

When the players first arrive, the doors are barricaded from the inside. It turns out that the purple haze prevents anyone who enters the town from leaving. Since people kept coming, the town started to run out of places to stay, and people began to get violent. Fearful for their lives, a group of residents holed up in the hotel.
