Region	Kanto
Debut	Lucario and the Mystery of Mew

Rota (Japanese: ロータ Rota) is the setting of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. The town has a medieval theme, resembling historically preserved medieval cities in Europe, although it may just be this way because of the annual "hero of the year" festival that is held during the movie. This festival requires everyone to wear royal clothing and includes a royal ball as well as a competition to see who will be the year's Aura Guardian.

Cameran Palace stands at the center of the town, a great medieval-style Castle where Queen Ilene lives, and where Queen Rin, Sir Aaron, and his Lucario lived.

The Tree of Beginning can be found a short distance from Rota, along with the site of the biggest battle of the century.

Rota and the Tree of Beginning are located in a mountain range north of Pewter City and Mt. Moon.
