ADREFFE’S MAIN LOCATIONS.
Unlike most regions, Adreffe doesn’t split itself up into cities. Instead, to preserve as much of the natural landscape as possible, the region is organised by its biomes and what Gyms can be found there.
THE GRASSLANDS: A large, flat open area of land with no real remarkable features. No exceptional weather or natural effects.
Reception/Check-in Building, with Sion’s Normal Gym on the floor above it.
Staff and student dormitories, and the newly-build hotel for guests, tourists and contestants.
The kitchens and cafeteria. Molly’s self-run bakery sits next door, with her Alcremie and Slurpuff eager to sell whatever treats they helped her make today.
The current school buildings. Used for theory lessons only.
Cadmael’s Fighting Gym, a recycled school building left over from Adreffe’s early days.
The Combination Tactics Gym - co-run by Eira, Wilbur, Dante and Argo. It sits on the edge of the grasslands to prevent Eira’s weather moves from affecting anything outside the Gym.
Evelyn’s Ghost mansion. It only appears at night, and in the day is replaced by a rundown ruin of what used to be the biggest dormitory on Adreffe.
THE FOREST: A thick sea of trees, many of which are hundreds of years old. Tall grass is longer here, making the likelihood of wild encounters much higher.
Connery and Briar’s shared Grass/Bug treetop Gym. A large Xerneas statue sits nearby, overtaken by wildlife and turned into a breeding ground for many pokemon.
Connery’s berry orchard, mostly run by his team of helpful Grass types.
Professor Fontaine’s Poison mushroom Gym and his small medicine/beauty product store. All products are made from a base of Pecha berries to reduce the effects of any poison they might come into contact with.
Molly’s Fairy Gym, sat in the middle of Florge’s flower meadow. Oricorio, Vespiquen and Ribombee love this place.
A tea room, the Night Noctowl, designed to cater towards those staying up through the night. It’s almost entirely staffed by a single Ludicolo and his group of Indeedee friends. One of the most frequent visitors is a wild Kadabra with a liking for green tea.
Mercedes’ Psychic Gym and therapy office. The Munna-maintained Wonder Room guarantees total soundproofing for privacy, and the walls themselves can go from transparent to opaque at her request.
The Lunar Pool. A hidden-away pool that attracts a large population of Lunatone. Its counterpart is Solar Point, up on the mountains.
Part of Daphne’s Living Museum of Fossil pokemon. Cranidos are most common here, often competing to knock down the biggest tree as quick as possible.
THE VOLCANIC FIELD: Dried, unworkable land surrounded on all sides by volcanoes and a difficult-to-climb mountain range. Fire and Rock types are most common here.
Steffan’s Fire Gym. He sits proudly in the center of the volcanic heat, his Gym even carefully carved into the shape of one.
Frankie’s Steel Gym and workshop. The Bouffalant and Tauros are able to spar with each other in peace, and the oppressive heat makes little difference when he spends most of his time dealing with molten metal anyway.
A workout Gym for humans and humanoid pokemon. The punching bags are almost always reserved by Machamp and Lucario, so if you want those you need to be fast!
Part of Daphne’s Living Museum of Fossil pokemon. Tyrantrum love this area and can frequently be seen hunting and socialising within the Museum’s confines.
THE MOUNTAIN RANGE: Stretching across the north edge of the island is a set of mountains, varying in height and how easy they are to climb. In contrast to the volcanic field below, the summits are freezing cold.
Aedynn’s Dragon Gym, tucked away in a low-level cave. His Mega Rayquaza carving hangs from the ceiling, and Regidrago lights up the interior with its constant glow. He’s often helping a wild Garchomp raise her latest clutch of Gible.
Felix’s Gym battleground and lightning rod sit atop the tallest mountain peak. Their computer lab is hidden away underneath it in a maze of tunnels and password-locked doors.
Gwendolyn’s Ground Gym. She’s also made use of the underground, taking every safety precaution possible to make sure that the tunnel will be safe to battle in.
Daphne’s Rock Gym and the rest of her Living Museum. Her Gym itself is tucked away in a natural hole in the mountainside, and there’s no decor that hasn’t been chiseled from the surrounding rock walls.
Violetta’s Flying Gym, an observatory where she can see all of the sky above, and the battlefield itself suspended high up in the clouds. This battlefield is also where she teaches her more advanced Flying students once they’ve gotten used to riding at lower heights.
Solar Point is also up on one of the mountain peaks, Solrock’s favourite gathering place and breeding ground. Its moon counterpart is Lunar Pool, located in the forest.
The remainder of the Living Museum stretches up here, connecting the ocean, the forest, the volcanic fields and whatever species seek the cold and height of the mountains.
THE OCEAN: Two beaches, to the east and west sides of the region, overlook the sea. Naturally, Water types love these areas and will largely favour one side over the other.
Andrea’s Dark Gym lies on the East side, using whatever driftwood washes up as another resource to build her Gym building with. Her Gym Trainers are in charge of cleaning any litter they find.
Margourette’s Ice Gym and ballet studio is also on the East side. Both are made entirely out of ice and sit a little way out into the ocean. Their foundations are thick enough not to melt, but for safety’s sake they’re re-frozen every couple days.
The Vanilluxe ice cream parlour finishes off the East beach, a place that offers all sorts of cool treats for those feeling a little overwhelmed with the heat. Milkshakes, sundaes, frozen lemonades and everything else a person could want! They also sell sun cream, just in case someone forgot to pack theirs.
There’s a boutique on both beaches, though the colours they offer differ depending on location. Swimsuits are their best seller, but they stock everything from evening gowns to winter coats. A lot of it is pokemon inspired.
Jemima’s Gym is the only one situated on the West beach. She doesn’t mind, though - the lack of other Gyms means she’s able to claim a lot more space for her hobbies and take up more of the ocean with her Mantine surfing and Sharpedo jet-skiing.
Golduck act as lifeguards on the East beach, and Sealeo on the West. Both pokemon are incredibly strong swimmers and have been trained to recognise the signs of both people and pokemon in danger.
