Alto Mare (Japanese: アルトマーレ Altomare), Italian for "high sea" and also known as the city of water (Japanese: 水の都), is an anime-exclusive town and the setting of Pokémon Heroes.
In the anime
Alto Mare is an isolated island between the south-western coast of Johto, near Azalea Town, and the southeastern portion of Hoenn. It is accessable 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 legendary Pokémon Latias and Latios. Many other species of Pokémon reside here, including Pidgey, Yanma, Murkrow and Remoraid.
The Tour de Alto Mare, a water charriot race, is held annually. Trainers race on floating platforms pulled by their Pokémon. One year, the competition was won by Misty and her 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 Aerodactyl and Kabutops can also be seen in the museum's floor. Lorenzo and his daughter, Bianca, are the caretakers of the museum.
The secret garden, where Latios and Latias 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.
