Welcome to your starting point, none other than the quaint Little Hillmoss Town! This picturesque villa is built on the hillsides inside a large valley. In the center, at the deepest part of the valley, rests an amazing park with fountains and pools. There's even a soothing, healing Hot Spring! The Pokemon Lab is set here, and so is your starting location. Welcome to the wide world of Opaddeka!

This long expanse of grasslands, with trees sprinkled about here and there, contains three towns and runs on each side of the Sunstream River, but only to the east of the Moondance River. While walking along the paths, or going off in your own direction, you will encounter various hills and valleys, and you may also encounter Sunstream River itself- have fun crossing it!

The Moorfeldt Grasslands are less grassy then the name would lead you to believe. Spanning the flatter land to the west of the Moondance River, among the few trees that scatter the once-thriving land, there is more dirt than there is grass. This is both due to the region's shift to rocky areas in the west, and because of overuse from hunters and reckless farmers. You may still find some very pleasant spots, though!

Moorfeldt City was the original hunting town, before pokemon hunting was outlawed. Now, though, they are known for their enormous hospitality and warmth... at least that's what they boast themselves up about. It is true that the food is good and the villagers are very comforting! Under the surface, though, it is not hard to sense the yearn to go back to the pokémon hunt that many old-timers still teach their children... You may want to stop by here and visit the friendly Saddlemaker!

This is the self-proclaimed gateway to and guardian of the Forest of Fury. It's residents are extremely forgiving, which is necessary when the forest performs attacks and raids from time to time. The citizens will occasionally have a ritualistic ceremony full of partying and parades to appease the spirits of the forest, and it seems to work well enough. The town is partially built in the forest, and it contains the Electric Gym, led by the eccentric Boe. There's also a relatively new dojo here that can aid you in training for gym battles.

Trainers beware: these woods are not for the weak or the easily scared! Only the worst-tempered grass and bug pokemon live here, and if you're not careful, even walking near it will get you swarmed and attacked. They say that great treasures lie deep inside, under the worst obstacles known to any woods alive, but do you really think that they're worth it?

An odd mix of citizens make up the Malral District. It is the highest town on the Lower Shelf, and normally the last pitstop before trainers set off into the fog and watery conditions of Murmur Valley to the north. Popular TV psychics, fake mystics, fortune-tellers, and evangelists make their home here- and so do strength trainers, blackbelts, and weightlifters, for this is also the home of the Psychic/Ghost Gym. While you're in town, stop by the Shooting Star Observatory, too!

The Lorenzian Wildlands seperate the Forest of Fury from the Steamswap Jungle. It is truly a middle ground, as although the bushes are not as large as forest or jungle trees, the thick shrubs and grasses will regularly tower over your head, making it hard to navigate. The pokemon are not as pissed off as they are in the Forest of Fury, but not as laid back as jungle ones, either, so you've still got to keep your wits about you as you try to cross from one to the other.

Lorenzo Town is a nice stop on your way through the wildlands named for it. It's a good stop to heal up your pokemon, get restocked on items, and so forth. However, most trainers will not find much to do here unless they are at a very advanced level, for Lorenzo Town is the home of the Pokemon League Championships, and the Elite 4 themselves! Perhaps just watching one of these battles will be exciting enough for you!

The Steamswap Jungle is hot. Very hot. Not in the same sense that Aridair Desert is hot, though- this heat comes from temperature, humidity, and proximity. Not only do warm winds bring warmth in, but the amount of water in the air is almost unbelievable, and sometimes you could swear that you were swimming... although rumor has it dangerous fish inhabit the rivers down here! There are very few paths through the jungle, and the trees and leaves grow very close, so be prepared to get lost!

Felcrest City is a large and very calm, somber place. Silence seems to cover the town like a blanket, due in part to the pokemon graveyard that is revered and sacred to residents and trainers alike. You may get on the ferry to southern Corona Island here if you dare. Felcrest City also contains the Broadcasting Tower, which ensures that your Poketechs are in good working condition, and the one and only, amazingly unique Purple Gym.

The citizens of Wellly Villlage are unlike anything you've ever seen before. Though normal at first, you'll soon notice that they all have perfect senses of balance, no fear of heights, and amazing maneuverability. This comes in handy, though, as Wellly Villlage is entirely built on wooden platforms at least a half mile above the floor of the jungle! Talk about being disoriented, but maybe a few of your pokemon will enjoy it. Good thing there are railings, because a fall would break a bone in the best case scenario!

The Radloffian Farmlands are a widespread area inhabited very sparsely by kind farmers who grow food for the whole world. They are usually amicable about pokemon trainers crossing their fields to get from place to place on the condition that their crops are not destroyed, because trainers often aid in getting rid of pest pokemon that sometimes threaten their livelyhood. Stopping in at a farmer's house may yield berries or milk, if they are feeling particularly kind and hospitable!

Radloff City is the capital of the farming area. Originally, the farms were only established between Moondance and Sunstream Rivers, but as the crops spread further and further east, Radloff City remained in charge. All farms are registered through large bureaucratic offices here, and all food passes through here for inspection before it ships off to the rest of the world. There's a huge food marketplace in the center of town, and it happens to be the home of many a grass trainer as well, due to the Grass Gym located here. Also located here: one of the region's two daycare centers.

In the ancient world, five hundred and fifty years ago, the Rocky Ruinlands were actually the site of the largest and most noble city-state of Cryzanthum. Through epic disasters, it has been reduced to ruins and rubble (and much of it lies undersea). Many unnatural or mysterious pokemon enjoy the ruins and spend much time here, as there are many secretive tunnels and coves, or hidden rooms in what look like normal rocks. The Unown Temple is known to exist somewhere amid the rocks here...

The Cryzanthum District is a relatively new small town, built on the ruins of what looks like was once the enterance to a very large one. There's not a whole bunch of interesting things to do in the Cryzanthum District, but if you're looking for some answers, or for some questions, it will definitely be a good stop for you to make.

Despite taking up a large area of coastal area, the Dustlands are extremely dry and void of most plant life. They are wide, open, flat, and dusty plains that are practically featureless; don't expect any interesting sights, or any sights much at all. It might take longer to cross this expanse than it seems, based on how drab it is, but perhaps the pokemon that are unique to this area will make it worth it!

Bloodaisy Village is a splendid town, really, but something about it is just a little awkward. The people are very nice, but out of date, and not exactly used to having visitors- they are, after all, in the middle of the Dustlands. It does have the largest power plant in the world, powering both the upper and lower shelves, and also the wonderfully ordinary Normal Gym. Supposedly, those seeking entry to Necrophicix should also journey through here...

Tread carefully in the Blighted Plains, for thanks to years and years of farm runoff, industry pollution, and other assorted evils of mankind, the southernmost land on the lower shelf is permanently scarred. Once, a great river ran through this land, providing Y'orek City with markets and cash; but since it has dried up, poison pokemon have taken over the region, and if you can bear the smell and breathe through the pollution, step over the muck, and manage to keep your pokemon from running away, you may just catch some!

Did you make it to Y'orek Village? Good job! That's an impressive feat, considering the stench of the Blightlands, and it doesn't get any better here- in fact, Y'orek Village is most of the source of it all! The massive industrial district has no pollution control, and everything suffers as a result. Team Rocket makes it's secret hideout in an industrial building as well. This site is home to one of three Battle Towers, as well as an underground sewer system that's almost legendary.
