Azalea Town — Slowpoke Well

Azalea's Slowpoke have gone silent — Team Rocket is in the Slowpoke Well cutting off Slowpoke tails to sell. You can't access the gym's surroundings or Ilex until you clear them out.

Kurt (Azalea): The Apricorn ball-maker. He charges into the well, hurts his back, and asks you to finish the job. Afterward he makes custom Poké Balls from Apricorns overnight.
Charcoal Kiln (Azalea): The kiln worker gives you Charcoal — a Fire-damage hold item, great on Cyndaquil/Quilava.

Slowpoke Well: drop in and beat the Rocket grunts and executive Proton. Wild here: Slowpoke (Water/Psychic — Slowbro by level, or Slowking via King's Rock trade) and Zubat. Clearing the well frees the Slowpoke and opens the town.

Optimal call: Catch a Slowpoke on the way through — it's bulky, learns SurfWater later, and is your King's Rock trade-evo candidate. Before challenging Bugsy, run your six through Team Analysis to confirm you have a Rock or Fire answer to Scyther.
