The Valley

The Valley (Japanese: けいこく Valley) is one of the six major areas of Pokémon Island. It is a valley with a rapid-moving river flowing through it, and the home of thirteen species of Pokémon.

The Pokémon Sign here is a large mountain which looks like a Dugtrio and is seen almost immediately upon entering the course.

Native Pokémon

Squirtle

When the player enters the course, brown shells can be seen bobbing in the water. Hit them with an item, and they will be knocked forward. If you angle it right, they will land on the shore and pop out, revealing themselves to be Squirtle. They can be seen near the end of the course as well, with all but one rolling up a large mound. The last will roll up if the player hits it with a Pester Ball.

Goldeen

Throw items into the water, and Goldeen will sometimes jump out.

Dratini

Throw items into the water, and Dratini will sometimes jump out. These spots are less common than those of the other aquatic Pokémon which may jump out.

Mankey

There are three Mankey throughout the stage. The first is seen early on, yelling at the player from a distance in front of Mt. Dugtrio. When the river first starts getting very rapid, another can be seen on a ledge on the left side of the river, also yelling at the player. The last one is on top of a large mound, yelling at the player as well. This one, however, can be knocked down by hitting the Squirtle at the base of the mound and making it roll up the mound - aim it right, and it'll roll right into the Mankey! This Mankey will fall on a switch, opening up the route to a little pond. This also puts Mankey in a close spot for good pictures of it yelling at the player.

Sandshrew

There are three of these, buried deep underground. The player can see them briefly from a distance before they burrow underground, but the only way to get a decent shot of them is to knock down the Geodude clinging to the rock wall with Pester Balls. They will fall, and the shock of them hitting the ground will drive out Sandshrew.

Sandslash

Like Sandshrew, Sandslash burrows underground before the ZERO-ONE can come close enough for a good shot. Knock down the two Geodude, and the Graveler above will fall, causing Sandslash to leap out of the ground.

Geodude

These are seen clinging to the rock walls early in the stage. Hit them with a Pester Ball to make them fall, and the player will have a good shot momentarily before they climb back up.

Graveler

One can be found with the Geodude, and must be knocked down by knocking the two Geodude near it down in rapid succession. However, a much better shot can be obtained later, when three Graveler are seen sleeping. Play the Poké Flute to wake them up, and they will do a tribal dance for the player.

Magikarp

There is one splashing around in the beginning and many others that will jump out of the water when the player throws an item in.

Gyarados

If the player knocks the Magikarp splashing around in the beginning out of the water, it will splash on land towards a Mankey, who will send it flying with a big punch. The player will encounter this Magikarp again later in the stage, flopping around on land. Abuse it further by hitting it with a Pester Ball, and it'll flop back into the water and up a nearby waterfall, evolving into Gyarados!

Staryu

During the second rapid section of the river, three of these will float by. Take a frontal picture of them and their gem will flash blue, and they will start to circle the ZERO-ONE.

Starmie

If the player makes any of the Staryu start to circle the ZERO-ONE, they will follow it to the end of the rapid section. There, they will leave and dive into a large whirlpool, emerging as Starmie.

Dragonite

At one point, the player will see a large whirlpool on the right of the stage. Throw three Pester Balls in, and a Dragonite will fly out.
