Pastoria City in Diamond and Pearl

Pastoria City lies in southern Sinnoh at the edge of the Great Marsh, a drained seabed that the town was founded to protect. It holds Crasher Wake's Water-type Gym, the fourth Gym in DP, along with the entrance to the Great Marsh Safari Zone and an observation deck. Team Galactic activity around the marsh also draws the player and Wake into the plot here.
