Lavender Town (シオンタウン Shion Taun?, Shion Town in the original Japanese) is a fictional town in the eastern part of the Kanto region of the Pokémon universe mainly characterised by the Pokémon Tower. In the Red and Blue and FireRed and LeafGreen versions, Lavender Town has a tower called Pokémon Tower, which is a tall tower filled with the graves of Pokémon that have died. In the tower there are many Channellers that have been possessed by the ghost of Marowak and will fight you with their ghost Pokémon (Specifically a level 25-35 Gastly, and one of them has a Haunter). A Channeller lucky enough not to be possessed has sealed a section with white magic. Stepping in this section will heal your Pokémon. A Lv. 30 Marowak's spirit will challenge you on the sixth floor after you have retrieved the Silph Scope from the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City. Three Rockets will challenge you on the seventh floor in the Red and Blue and FireRed and LeafGreen versions before you can rescue Mr. Fuji. In the Pokémon Yellow version Jessie and James will challenge you instead. In the tower the wild pokémon are: Level 15-25 Gastly, and Cubone. Rarer Pokémon are Level 20-25 Haunter, and Marowak.
In the Gold and Silver and Crystal versions, the tower was replaced by a radio tower, and the Pokémon graves were moved.

[edit] Mr. Fuji and the PokéFlute
After rescuing Mr. Fuji from Pokémon Tower, he will return home to the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, a somewhat small day care for Pokémon. He will thank you for helping him and bestow upon you the Pokéflute. This item not only allows the awakening of the two Snorlax in Kanto, but it also revives your Pokémon from Sleep during battle. It will also revive your opponent's pokémon as well as your teammate's (in a double battle).
[edit] The Name Rater
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a house south of the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House that belongs to a man who rates the nicknames of your Pokémon. This is the only way you can change the nickname of your Pokémon after you catch it. If you do not like the nickname you gave it, you are free to change it at anytime. However, you cannot change the nickname of a Pokémon received in a trade. The Name Rater claims that the nickname represents a bond between the Pokémon and its original trainer, and he will not interfere. The music that plays in here is happier than the music that plays in this town; it is the same music from Cerulean City/Fuschia City.
[edit] Music
In Red and Blue, Lavender Town's theme is a solemn, creepy one, while Pokémon Tower's theme is just as creepy, but a different tune. This differed greatly in Gold and Silver, where the theme was a soft, much happier version of the song. This may be due to the fact that Pokémon Tower had become a radio tower. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, it is the same theme as Red, Blue, and Yellow, but an updated version. Many fans consider this version of the theme their favorite.
