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 the {{DL|Dimensions|Temporal World}} and the {{DL|Dimensions|Spatial 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 briefly appeared in a flashback in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which [[Newton Graceland]] observed the battle between Dialga and Palkia through images in the [[Reverse World]]. It then made two brief reappearances in ''[[M12|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, [[Tonio]], [[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|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 do {{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 on 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.
