Porta Vista

Porta Vista is a location in the Pokémon anime. It is located somewhere in between Vermilion City and Maiden's Peak.

Porta Vista is the anime equivalent to Acapulco, complete with beaches, sunny skies and a huge ocean. It is a very popular tourist destination, and it was also the setting for many different adventures in the anime.

Brutella and Moe both own restaurants in Porta Vista. Ash and his friends had to help rebuild Moe's dock when they crashed their boat into it. Unfortunately for Moe, Brutella's restaurant was more successful and driving his restaurant out of business. With the help of Ash and his friends, Moe was able to bring his business sales back up. In the end, Brutella's restaurant was destroyed by Team Rocket's Gyarados submarine.

But Porta Vista also has had times of despair. Brutella's cousin, Nastina, wanted to build a hotel in the middle of the ocean. However, the Tentacool that lived there were being disturbed by it. Nastina hired Team Rocket to get rid of them, but all they ended up doing was forcing one of the Tentacool to evolve into a Tentacruel and grow it to several hundred feet tall. It began destroying all of Porta Vista until Misty convinced it that not all humans are like Nastina, and that all construction would cease on the hotel.

Porta Vista also holds a beauty contest, in which Misty, Mrs. Ketchum, Jessie and even James participated in.
