Lavaridge Town (Japanese: フエンタウン Fuen Town) is a small town in central western Hoenn. It is located on the southern foot of Mt. Chimney. The town is well known for its hot spring and is a popular destination for elderly citizens.
Pokémon Trainers often come to Lavaridge Town in order to win the Heat Badge from Flannery, the Lavaridge Gym Leader who specializes in Fire-type Pokémon.
Northeast of the town is the Jagged Pass, leading down from Mt. Chimney. East of the town is Route 112.

Pokémon Center Hot Springs An excellent place for relaxing! (Japanese: ポケセン おんせん よいところ Pokésen, onsen, an excellent place.)
Places of interest
Hot springs
The hot springs are connected to an opening in the back of the Pokémon Center. The people draw as much hot water as they need, yet the spring never runs dry. The magma in the active volcano causes veins of water nearby to well up as hot springs. According to legend, the Lavaridge hot springs calm tension, relieve muscle ache, solve romantic problems, and attract money. An old woman standing by the sand baths will give away an Egg containing a Wynaut. There is also an Ice Heal hidden in the water.
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the hot spring is split down the middle based on gender, indicated by blue and pink doorways, but the player is able to enter either side. A gentleman in the Pokémon Center comments that the hot springs are for Pokémon only. A female Pokémon Breeder in front of the hot spring entrances sells Moomoo Milk individually or by the dozen. After Groudon/Kyogre has been captured or defeated, a Kecleon can be discovered in the female side of the hot spring, and the old woman by the sand baths will give away a second Egg, containing a Togepi.
