The city is located at the [[wp:Confluence (geography)|conluence]] of two rivers in northern [[Hoenn]]. The city mainly lies on an island, including the huge park, the Battle Tower, and most of the business districts. On the shores of the river, presumably mainland Hoenn, lies more areas of the city, though not much.
