Alamos Town | '''Alamos Town''' (Japanese: '''アラモスタウン''' ''Alamos Town'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive location in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and the setting of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It is known for the works of architect [[Godey]], which include the [[Space-Time Towers]]. | ||
According to maps of | According to promotional maps, Alamos Town is located northwest of [[Oreburgh City]] and northeast of [[Jubilife City]], near the [[Ravaged Path]]. The main part of the town is on top of a large mesa in the middle of a lake. There is a bridge connecting the mesa to the mainland. The area around Alamos Town is heavily wooded with many hills and plateaus. | ||

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decided to visit Alamos Town because {{an|Dawn}} wanted to participate in the local [[Pokémon Contest]]. However, while on their way there they took the wrong road and ended up on a hill on the opposite side of town, away from the bridge that connects the mainland to the mesa where the town is located. Luckily for them, [[Alice]] offered them a ride on her hot-air balloon and later took them on a tour around town. | |||
After getting injured by {{mov|Dialga}}'s {{m|Roar of Time}} during a battle with it in the [[Unown Dimension]], {{mov|Palkia}} fled to Alamos Town to recover. It transported the town to a newly created dimension, which prevented townspeople from leaving, and hid above the [[Space-Time Towers]]. Eventually, Dialga found Palkia's hiding and decided to continue their battle, which nearly destroyed the entire town despite {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}}'s efforts to stop them. | |||
It was revealed in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' that the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were fighting due to distortions in both {{DL|Dimension|Dialga's world}} and {{DL|Dimension|Palkia's world}} caused by {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}'s imminent awakening. Darkrai tried multiple times to end the battle between Dialga and Palkia, but it was unsuccessful, and their rage only subsided when Ash and Dawn placed the [[Oración]] disk on the Space-Time Towers' music machine. After the song soothed them and healed Palkia's shattered pearl, Palkia returned Alamos Town to its proper dimension. | |||
Alamos Town appeared in the "World of Pokémon" intro in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', as well as in a flashback in which [[Newton Graceland]] observed the battle between Dialga and Palkia through a portal in the [[Reverse World]]. It then made two brief reappearances in ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life''. After observing disruptions in the [[Time-Space Axis]], [[Sheena]] and {{OBP|Kevin|M12}} traveled to Alamos Town and were present at its plateau when Palkia returned the town to its proper dimension. Later on, during the ending credits, a brief update on Alice, {{OBP|Tonio|M10}}, [[Baron Alberto]], and Darkrai is shown. Alamos Town also appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a timeline different from the main series. | |||

! | {{main|Contest Hall}} | ||
! | Located within the Space-Time Towers, the Alamos Town Contest Hall is unlike many modern {{cat|buildings}} that host [[Pokémon Contest]]s in that it has several rows of seats at stage level in addition to a sloped seating area. It was visited by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} while [[Alice]] was guiding them around town. | ||

|- | Sporting a dress different from the one she normally wears when competing, as well as white boots and a pink-colored headpiece, {{an|Dawn}} entered the Alamos Contest along with fellow [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s [[Allegra]], {{OBP|Kai|M10}}, and [[Maury]]. She managed to clear the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], but ended up losing a match where her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} faced off against Allegra's {{p|Infernape}} in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]]. It is unknown if she lost at the semifinal or final round, but she and Kai are shown behind Allegra when she is lifting the Alamos [[Ribbon]] in celebration of her victory. | ||

| | ===Godey's Garden=== | ||
| | Godey's Garden, named after its architect [[Godey]], is a park inhabited by many [[wild Pokémon]] and [[Alice]]'s favorite part of town. According to {{an|Brock}}'s travel guide, the park was designed with a theme of nature, [[Human|people]], and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} living in harmony. This is reflected in the abundance of greenery and water fountains. | ||
It is the place where [[Alicia]] first met {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}}, after finding it resting underneath a tree after it was attacked by a {{p|Roserade}}, a {{p|Kirlia}}, and a {{p|Luxray}} that were feeling threatened due to its presence. After helping the {{pkmn|category|Pitch-Black Pokémon}} recover from its injuries and telling it that the park was meant for everyone, Darkrai decided to live there. | |||
It has a play area for Pokémon complete with a {{wp|playground slide}}, a {{wp|seesaw}}, and {{wp|Swing (seat)|swings}}. | |||
===Pokémon Center=== | |||
{{main|Pokémon Center}} | |||
Many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s took their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to the Alamos Town Pokémon Center after {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} put them to {{status|sleep}} by using {{m|Dark Void}} to defend itself from their attacks. | |||
===Space-Time Towers=== | |||
{{main|Space-Time Towers}} | |||
The town's centerpiece is the [[Space-Time Towers]], which were designed by [[Godey]] one hundred years ago. The tower on the right symbolizes time and has angular sculptures that correspond to {{p|Dialga}}'s diamond, while the tower on the left symbolizes space and has rounded sculptures that correspond to {{p|Palkia}}'s pearls. | |||
The Alamos Town [[Contest Hall]] is located in its interior, while outside in between the towers there is a music room equipped with a unique music device where special disks can be placed to allow a song to be played. This makes the towers the {{pkmn|world}}'s largest musical instrument. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
[[File:Alamos Town Establishing shot.png|250px|thumb|The cliffs surrounding Alamos Town]] | |||
* The town's name is the Spanish word for {{wp|Populus|poplar}}, ''álamos''. | |||
* The only {{p|Shellos}} that appears in the movie is of the East Sea {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|variety}}, although Alamos Town is actually on the ''west'' side of [[Mt. Coronet]]. | |||
* The [[Alamos Darkrai|Darkrai]] distributed in the United States, as well as the ones distributed in the European countries, had the [[Original Trainer|OT]] "ALAMOS", a reference to the tenth movie {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}}'s appearance in Alamos Town. | |||
===Origin=== | |||
Alamos Town is based on {{wp|Granada}} and {{wp|Barcelona}} in {{wp|Spain}}. | |||
{{wp|Flamenco}} dancing is featured in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. Flamenco is characteristic of Spain on the whole, but especially Southern Spain, such as the {{wp|Province of Granada}}. The mountains that can be seen on the background landscape are based on the {{wp|Sierra Nevada (Spain)|Sierra Nevada}} in the Province of Granada, Spain and [[wp:es:Macizo de Montserrat|Macizo de Montserrat]] in the Province of {{wp|Catalonia|Cataluña}}, Spain. | |||
The [[Space-Time Towers]] and Godey's Garden are based on the {{wp|Sagrada Família}} and {{wp|Park Güell|Parque Güell}}, located in Barcelona, Spain. Both the cathedral and the park were designed by {{wp|Antoni Gaudí}}, just as the towers and the garden in Alamos Town were designed by [[Godey]], who, along with his descendant {{OBP|Tonio|M10}}, are based on the Catalan architect. | |||
