Lavender Town is a small town located in northeast Kanto, just south of the Rock Tunnel.
The citizens of Lavender Town claim that the town is known mainly for ghost sightings in the Pokémon Tower and as the main gravesite of Pokémon. The town is noticeably modernized with the inclusion of a broadcasting station. The citizens claim the ghosts that appear in the Tower are the spirits of Pokémon that have died.
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.
Places to be found
Pokemon Tower
Pokémon Tower is a seven-floor graveyard that holds the grave of departed Pokémon. On all seven floors, the tower houses hundreds of graves of deceased Pokémon.
Many people visit the building daily to pay their respects to the fallen. On all floors other than the first two, though, the possibility of being attacked by wild Pokémon is present. Populated by Channelers, it was notable for numerous ghost sightings (Pokémon killed by Team Rocket), as well as the location of Team Rocket's kidnapping of Mr. Fuji. Although players can encounter Ghost-type Pokémon here, they can not be seen or captured unless they have a Silph Scope.
Aside from graves, the tower is home to wild Cubone as well as many Ghost-type Pokémon. Prior to the player's visit, Team Rocket tried to steal the Cubone to sell their valuable skulls. In the process, a mother Marowak that was protecting her Cubone child was killed. The ghost of the mother Marowak haunted the tower until a brave trainer was able to knock it out, setting her spirit free.
The Ghost-type Pokémon in the tower appear to have a unique ability to disguise themselves as the ghosts of humans. Any Pokémon who attempts to fight ghosts without the trainer having a Silph Scope will be "too scared to move" and hence, unable to do anything for fending off the enemy. However, the Silph Scope will reveal their true natures and identity, allowing the Pokémon to be engaged in battle.
House of Memories
The House of Memories, otherwise known as Soul House in is a small building located on the south-eastern side of Lavender Town. The House of Memories was built to hold graves from the Pokémon Tower when it was converted to the Kanto Radio Tower. There are many chambers within the building, but they cannot be accessed by anyone other than Mr. Fuji, as a door is locked. There are no wild Pokémon or Trainer battles found within the House of Memories.
