The '''Sevii Islands''' (Japanese: '''ナナシマ''' ''Nanashima'') are an archipelago in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] consisting of nine large islands and several small islands surrounding them. They are located far south of the Kanto mainland, and are home to several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]]: {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}.

The main islands' only game appearance was in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but the two event-exclusive islands, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], later reappeared in {{game|Emerald}}. The Sevii Islands also appear in other media based on these games.

==Geography==
The nine Sevii Islands are a part of the Kanto region, located to the south of mainland Kanto. These islands cannot be surfed to; to travel from island to island a Pokémon Trainer must take the [[Seagallop]] Ferries from another island or [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

===Demographics===
The population of Sevii Islands is 220, including all towns and other areas.

===Settlements===
The seven major islands each have a settlement, which are named numerically.

==In the games==
===Plot===
The Sevii Islands follow a trend set by {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and provide most of the post-Pokémon League plot in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The Sevii Islands sideplot actually begins as soon as the {{player}} has defeated the [[Cinnabar Gym]] and obtained the {{Badge|Volcano}}. The first three islands, {{isl|One}}, {{isl|Two}}, and {{isl|Three}}, are the only ones that are initially accessible, but the plot here is important for continuing the game. By obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] (and subsequently retrieving the {{i|Ruby}}), the later islands are unlocked.

There is also a plot by [[Team Rocket]] based in the Sevii Islands. It deals with Pokémon evolution, and appears to be the prelude to a plot that is [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|launched three years later]]. Only when the Team Rocket members realize that the player has already defeated Giovanni, who subsequently disbanded Team Rocket, do they give up.

Some of the Sevii Islands' background music tracks are remixed themes from Gold and Silver, specifically the ones from [[Violet City]]/[[Olivine City]] ({{OBP|Six Island|town}} and {{OBP|Seven Island|town}}), [[Azalea Town]]/[[Blackthorn City]] ({{OBP|Four Island|town}} and {{OBP|Five Island|town}}), and [[Route]]s {{rtn|42|Johto}}, {{rtn|43|Johto}}, {{rtn|44|Johto}}, and the [[Lake of Rage]] (routes on {{isl|Five}}, {{isl|Six}}, and {{isl|Seven}} Islands).

===Accessibility===
In FireRed and LeafGreen, the Sevii Islands are accessible from the [[Vermilion City]] harbor via a system of boats called the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferries]]. To be able to access {{isl|One}}, {{isl|Two}}, and [[Three Island]]s, one needs a [[Tri-Pass]], received from [[Celio]] after defeating [[Blaine]] on [[Cinnabar Island]]. To be able to access {{isl|Four}}, {{isl|Five}}, {{isl|Six}}, and [[Seven Island]]s, one needs a [[Rainbow Pass]], received from [[Celio]] in {{OBP|One Island|town}}, after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. To be able to access [[Navel Rock]], one needs a [[MysticTicket]], and to be able to access [[Birth Island]], one needs an [[AuroraTicket]], both of which can be obtained promotionally with [[Mystery Gift]].

==In the anime==
[[File:One Island anime.png|thumb|250px|One Island in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Sevii Islands have only been featured in ''[[HS18|The Search for the Legend]]'', where [[Ritchie]] visited [[Mt. Ember]] (referred to as Mt. Magma in the [[dub]]) on [[One Island]]. The episode focused on the {{p|Moltres}} living on the mountain.

The Sevii Islands also appear in the anime map released with ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. According to the map, the Sevii Islands are in relatively the same area as the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] and [[New Island]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
The Sevii Islands were the main setting for this chapter. It focused on the three original Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s dealing with {{adv|Deoxys}}, based on the [[Birth Island]] event, as well as the resurgence of [[Team Rocket]].

==Trivia==
* Data in the games reserved for [[List of locations by index number (Generation III)|location name index pointers]] reveal the following values:
** Sevii Isle 6 (Japanese: ６ばんななしま ''Nanashima 6'')
** Sevii Isle 7 (Japanese: ７ばんななしま ''Nanashima 7'')
** Sevii Isle 8 (Japanese: ８ばんななしま ''Nanashima 8'')
** Sevii Isle 9 (Japanese: ９ばんななしま ''Nanashima 9'')
** Sevii Isle 22 (Japanese: ２２ばんななしま ''Nanashima 22'')
** Sevii Isle 23 (Japanese: ２３ばんななしま ''Nanashima 23'')
** Sevii Isle 24 (Japanese: ２４ばんななしま ''Nanashima 24'')
*** These [[route]]s are not accessible during normal gameplay and are likely remnants from the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen beta|development period]] of the games.
* The [[route]]s on the Sevii Islands are not numbered, unlike the other [[region]]s. This is likely to prevent confusion as to their relation to the others, as continuing where [[Johto]] left off (after {{rt|46|Johto}}, at the time the highest-numbered Johto route) would seemingly imply that Johto is accessible in the games.
* Because [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]] are part of Sevii Islands archipelago, in [[Pokémon Emerald]] it is the second time when the player can visit previously introduced region.

===Origin===
The Sevii Islands archipelago corresponds to the real-life {{wp|Izu Islands}} and {{wp|Bonin Islands}}. One through Five Island as well as Navel Rock are based on the Izu Islands, while Six and Seven Island correspond to {{wp|Chichijima}} and {{wp|Hahajima}} in the Bonin, and Birth Island corresponds to {{wp|Minami-Tori-shima}} (an island grouped administratively with the Bonin Islands, but not considered to be a part of them geographically).

====Name origin====
The name possibly combines the number ''seven'' and the Roman numeral for seven, ''VII''. The Japanese name ''Nanashima'' literally means "seven islands". According to an old woman on [[Seven Island]], they were named the Sevii Islands not because there are seven (two event items reveal there are in fact nine), but because they were supposedly made in seven days.
