Blackthorn City

Location from Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver by Game Freak / Nintendo

A quiet mountain retreat cut into a rock face in northeast Johto — where generations of Dragon-type trainers have lived, where Dragon's Den tests those who would claim the title, and where Clair waits at the final gym.
