Violet City is far north of Cherrygrove city. A much bigger city, this is the first city in Johto with a League Gym. Falkner was the Gym Leader here and specialized in Flying-type Pokémon. Like all Gyms, this one closed after the wars. The leader, whoever takes the gym back over, gives the Zephyr Badge to his opponents once defeated.

Located in Violet City is Sprout Tower, which houses several sages and mediums who appear to revere the Pokémon Bellsprout as a teacher. The tower is inhabited by Rattata and Bellsprouts among many Pokémon as well. At night, it is full of Gastly. This is also where a trainer can obtain HM05 (Flash), from the Head Monk.
