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 reachable by ferries near Cherrygrove City. It is a city of canals, and a major mode of transport is by gondola. Every year, there is a race on the water where Trainers race on floating platforms pulled by their Pokémon.

The city is guarded by the legendary Pokémon 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. It is also where Soul Dew can be found.
