An easily traversed cave that still one has one entrance and one exit. In times of peace, people have little trouble crossing from one end to another. In times of war, its exits are barricaded shut.

Azalea has always existed in the shadow of Goldenrod, but some would argue that the shadow rightfully belongs to Ilex Forest. A dark, mysterious place, the forest seems to have a life of its own, and it defends Azalea from intruders.

Despite being home to many wild pokemon, it is a safe place. The pokemon don't mind intruders. The locals come by often for the spring water, but otherwise, they leave the wild pokemon alone.
