The prize for winning the tournament

The Tour de Alto Mare (Japanese: ポケモン水上レース Pokémon Water Race) is an anime-exclusive water chariot tournament held annually in Alto Mare, Johto. It was featured in Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias.

Competition

During the competition, Trainers race on floating platforms pulled by Water-type Pokémon through Alto Mare's canals. There are security guards stationed around the course and most connecting waterways are either cleared or blocked off to avoid collisions with ships. Winners are awarded a glass medallion, an ode to Venice's historic blown glass-making industry, depicting the Legendary Latias and Latios surrounding the Soul Dew.

Ross was a previous winner of the Tour de Alto Mare.

Trivia

• The Tour de Alto Mare contains many references to annual boating festivals like the Vogalonga and Regata Storica, which are held in Venice; Venice itself served as the real-life inspiration for Alto Mare.
