The '''Sevii Islands''' (Japanese: '''ナナシマ''' ''Nanashima'') are an archipelago of nine large islands and several small islands surrounding them far south of [[Kanto]], and are home to several legendary Pokémon: {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Deoxys}}. They resemble the real-life {{wp|Izu Islands}}. The main islands' only game appearance was in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but the two event islands, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], later appeared in {{game|Emerald}}. The Sevii Islands also appeared in various other media based on these games. | The '''Sevii Islands''' (Japanese: '''ナナシマ''' ''Nanashima'') are an archipelago of nine large islands and several small islands surrounding them far south of [[Kanto]], and are home to several legendary Pokémon: {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Deoxys}}.
