Alomomola City is a location in Tao World, located just north of Alomomola Bay and northeast of Tao Village. It is the residence of Anana, who is the sister of PK. As its name implies, Alomomola City was built on the banks of a bay it shares it name with. Boasting a great number of sea routes, the bay serves as a great natural reservoir where ships are naturally protected.

Taking advantage of its sea routes, Alomomola City enjoys bustling trade from many place in and out of the continent. Making it one of the largest centers of commerce in the Tao World. Though they lack a central export, the robust amount of trinkets from Tao that are demanded, combined with the bustling population gathering seeking their fortunes (either as merchants or gamblers). Give the city a robust economy that stand proudly over more moderate attempts at Tao Village.

Given its proximity to the bay, the residents are mostly water Pokémon. But given the amount of Pokémon gathering from all of the Tao World, it's become a melting pot society where all kinds of Pokémon live and can be accepted. The cultural diversity they enjoy has also been a source of unrest at times. While not wholly sociably acceptable, one can find places where any kind of commodity can be sold here in Alomomola, even Pokémon themselves; usually as foodstuffs.

The City itself is a very interesting and exciting area. The various cultures and attraction present in the City are a pull factor for many Pokemon to visit for vacation, or to even take up permanent residence. There is an interesting dichotomy present in the City: the technological and the natural.

As evident with the King's Rock Casino, Alomomola City is very advanced in terms of technology. The presence of electricity alone is an awe-inspiring factor to many Pokemon. The lights, gambling machines and computers present are powered by an intricate web of wires and electricity powered by unknown means. The Casino is not the only place present with access to electricity, however it is the most prevalent and the one place many Pokemon's eyes drift towards.

Separate yet together with the City is the Bay area, which house many white sand beaches and boardwalks, with tourists attractions such as fair games and food vendors, for many-a-Pokemon to enjoy. Also present on the beach are the Matchmakers Rhythm and Pulse, to cater to your love-finding needs, and the Witch Doctors Lamia, Zabi and Azif, to help heal any ailments with a more natural remedy if those medicines within a hospital are too off-putting.

Anana the Kecleon, sister to Tao Village's resident PK, owns all the business within the Bay. Having inherited them from her father, Anana takes care to not only make sure all the businesses are up and running, but to also lend a helping hand when needed with charitable donations.

The City itself has a less that legitimate side as well. It is often advised to never approach a Murkrow who offers a deal that's too good to be true. Especially if this Murkrow happens to don a red bowtie. This Murkrow would be Sal, the right-hand to Geeno, the Honchkrow loan shark. Many Pokemon has fallen victim to the sweet, sweet words that trill of these birds' silver tongues only to have their entire life savings ripped from their very hands. Geeno's "business" has also been linked to many kidnapping and disappearance recently within the City.”

Its said that the less-legitimate side of Alomomola started a while back when the Kecleon currently in charge of the city decided to abandon a housing project that he had for poor Pokemon. The half finished project turned into a type of slum, where it all began.

Anana and Terra

At an unknown point in time, Anana noticed something in the nearby waters from her shop, and saw that it was a Pokémon . Upon closing her shop and rushing down to the beach for closer inspection, it turned out to be a Bagon, who had fallen into the bay and was deathly ill. Anana took the Bagon to a witchdoctor Arbok named Lamia, who was able to bring the Bagon back to health. When it awakened, it revealed that its name was Terra. Terra had ended up in the bay after trying to fly, failing due to her lack of wings. Anana noticed the brass collar she was wearing and, after a confusing and frustrating conversation, was able to work out that Terra was from the nearby cathedral built into the cliffs. When Terra concluded that she would not be returning to the cathedral due to her lack of wings, Anana made Terra her shop assistant.
