 Location of Tangelo Island in the Orange Islands | |||
Tangelo Island (Japanese: ボンタン島 Bontan Island) is located in the southwestern region of the Orange Archipelago. It is a popular tourist destination due in part to its tropical climate.
Young Trainers from the region typically begin their journeys here, and it is more generally the starting point for Trainers who want to compete in the Orange League. Both Professor Ivy's Lab and the Mikan Gym are located nearby.
Ash, Misty, and Pikachu visited the island in The Lost Lapras. They crash landed in Pokémon Park, at first believing the island to be deserted, before being swamped by camera-toting tourists. Once out of the park, they explored the nearby beachfront city. It has boardwalks and a port with many docks for tourist boats and luxury cruise liners. Palm trees line the streets, dwarfed by all the tall buildings. There they met a Pokémon watcher named Tracey. Tangelo Island is also where Ash caught his Lapras, which became his main mode of travel throughout the archipelago.

- Main article: Pokémon Center
The Pokémon Center on Tangelo Island is perched on a hill that overlooks the city and ocean. The Pokémon Center is made of wood with a grass thatch roof, and it subsequently resembles a log cabin. Several services, including videophone access, are available. Outside, it has a large swimming pool that also helps Water Pokémon recover. The Center is run by a Nurse Joy. Ash was inspired to enter the Orange League after seeing a poster on one of the Center's walls.
