Crystal Violet City

Falkner guards the Flying-type gym here in your first badge challenge, with Sprout Tower's famous swaying pillar rising at the city's edge.

Violet City is in Johto, with Route 32 to the south and Route 36 to the west. In the story you arrive from Route 31 to the east and continue north to Sprout Tower.

Violet holds little wild beyond a Poliwag pond to Surf or fish. The real prize is the Egg you receive here, the one that hatches into Togepi.
