Southend Central.

I know you're referring to your Chikorita, but the following is amusing nonetheless...

"Sammi? Razor Leaf? When did Piplup ever learn Razor Leaf?"

Sammi, who is pretty much my best friend (and lives in Leeds of all places), loves penguins, small things and the colour blue, and consequently loves Piplup.

Bit debatable as to whether it has more than two platforms that Is OK though - I'll let it pass.

Clue 5: This station is on the Great Eastern Main Line.

I believe you have a 20% chance of calling this correctly.
