The city is guarded by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{OBP|Latias|M05}} and {{OBP|Latios|M05}}. Many other species of Pokémon can be found in Alto Mare, including {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Chinchou}} and {{p|Remoraid}}.
The city is guarded by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{OBP|Latias|M05}} and {{OBP|Latios|M05}}, which are both commemorated in the city's Guardian Columns. In the distant past, the pair saved Alto Mare from the evils of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and their rampaging Pokémon {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}} who sought to flood the city. The city gained its name of Alto Mare, which means "high sea", from this very event.  


The [[Tour de Alto Mare]], a water chariot race, is held annually. Trainers race on floating platforms pulled by their Pokémon. One year, the competition was won by {{an|Misty}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. Winners are awarded a medal, depicting Latias and Latios.

The Secret Garden is where Latias and Latios reside and it is located 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 {{pkmn|category|Eon Pokémon}} to protect the Soul Dew.
