Blacktide Glen

This town is full of residents with extremely powerful Pok?mon; if you can barely manage to defeat them, you have no chance at defeating their genius gymleader, Darien, who uses dark-types. He is one of the most powerful trainers you will ever face--perhaps more powerful than a couple of the elite four.

An eternal darkness has settled upon this town; despite that the sun rises to the East, the direction of which they are the furthest on the map, they never see the light of day unless they travel through the mists of Ashdew Crossing. It is said to be a curse placed upon the town when it was but a mere village, by a local witch who had been burned at the stake. The permanently-settled fog is said to be the curse itself, absorbing and nullifying the rays of sunlight from above.
