Indigo Plateau
The Indigo Plateau (Japanese: セキエイこうげん Sekiei Kōgen, lit. Quartz Plateau) serves as the capital for the Pokémon League. It is the final destination for Pokémon trainers competing in Indigo or Johto League competitions against the Elite Four. It is also the location of the Indigo Plateau Conference, Kanto Grand Festival and the Pokémon League Village.
The Indigo Plateau is located just north of Victory Road, and east of Mt. Silver. One of the locations of the Battle Pyramid is also nearby.
In the games
In the games, the Indigo Plateau is depicted as a large building surrounded by mountainous areas. On the ground floor is a combined Poké Mart and Pokémon Center. In the upper levels are five separate battle arenas, one for each member of the Elite Four, and one additional for the reigning Champion. The Hall of Fame is located on the top floor, accessible only to trainers who prove victorious against the Elite Four and their Champion.

Name origin
Indigo is one of the seven traditional colors of the rainbow, a blue-purple color. It, like several other colors that are used for cities in Kanto, comes from a plant of the same name. Ironically, it therefore counts with the theme of Kanto's cities (as a color) and Johto's cities (as a plant).
