Stands for the "Pokémon Reserve Preserve," it's where [[Officer Jenny]] stays. Its also where she takes anyone found entering the island illegally. Like most Police Stations, it has a main sitting room, a desk, and a telephone. There is a poster in here saying that Pinkan Island is an official Pokémon Preserve. There is a pot with a small Pinkan Berry tree growing by the doorway. There is a automatic buzzer that goes off if someone steps foot on the island.
