Alto Mare is an isolated island south of [[Azalea Town]]. It is accessible via ferries near [[Cherrygrove City]]. It is a city of canals; a major mode of transport is by gondola.


The city is guarded by the {{pkmn2|legendary}} Eon Pokémon {{mov|Latias|Latias|5}} and {{mov|Latios|Latios|5}}. Many other species of Pokémon can be found in Alto Mare, including {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Chinchou}} and {{p|Remoraid}}.
The city is guarded by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{OBP|Latias|M05}} and {{OBP|Latios|M05}}, which are both commemorated in the city's Guardian Columns. In the distant past, the pair saved Alto Mare from the evils of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and their rampaging Pokémon {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}} who sought to flood the city. The city gained its name of Alto Mare, which means "high sea", from this very event.

The [[Tour de Alto Mare]], a water chariot race, is held annually. Trainers race on floating platforms pulled by their Pokémon. One year, the competition was won by {{an|Misty}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. Winners are awarded a medal, depicting Latias and Latios.


It is also the site of Alto Mare Museum, where it exhibits the [[Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare]] (DMA). The fossil of pre-historic Pokémon, such as {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}} can also be seen in the museum's floor. [[Lorenzo]] and his daughter, {{mov|Bianca}}, are the caretakers of the museum.
Many other species of Pokémon can be found in Alto Mare, including {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Chinchou}} and {{p|Remoraid}}.


The secret garden, where Latias and Latios reside, is found near the museum. Located in a small pond is the [[Soul Dew]]. If removed, it can be used to control the DMA, but this will cause all the water to drain from the city. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the two Eon Pokémon to protect the Soul Dew.
