Gold & Silver Slowpoke Well
Under Azalea, Slowpoke gather to fish with their tails in a spring-fed cave. Team Rocket moved in to saw those tails off for profit. Drive the grunts out to free the well and earn Kurt's trust.
Slowpoke Well is in Johto. In the story you arrive from Azalea Town to the south and it comes before Ilex Forest.
SLOWPOKE WELL MAP
The Slowpoke Well sinks one floor below its surface pool, and reaching the bottom takes both Surf and Strength. Climb down the ladder, then cross the water to the lower chamber.
Pokemon Encounters
Slowpoke owns the water at the bottom of the well, surfacing on nearly every cast and Surf. Zubat cling to the walls above, and a Rock Smash turns up Krabby with the odd Shuckle.

Slowpoke Well Guide
Not right away. You come here early to chase off Team Rocket, but the King's Rock sits on the lower level behind both Surf and Strength, so it waits for a return trip once you've earned those moves. A man on the small island down there hands it over for free when you can finally reach him.
You're missing the badge that switches it on. Flash only lights the field once you hold the Zephyr Badge from Falkner, even after you pick up the move itself as HM05 from the elder atop Sprout Tower. Several caves call for it: Dark Cave, Kanto's Rock Tunnel, Mt. Mortar, the Whirl Islands, and the inside of Mt. Silver are all pitch black enough to leave you fumbling without it.
