The Colosseum

Though its name may sound grand, the Colosseum appears to be little more than a massive crater in the center of a small island surrounded by roiling sea. Stone steps lead into the pit on the east and west sides, and the ground at the bottom is a wide expanse of hard-packed dirt and rock, though frequent rain tends to turn the terrain to mud. At the north and west sides, two doorways lead into the rock walls lining the pit, and these doorways open up into underground bunkers of sorts, providing shelter during rough sea storms. And that is all there is to the Colosseum. Despite its lack of pomp and grandeur, this is the staging location for trainers' final challenge against the Elite Four of the Decona region. These four extremely talented trainers spend much of their time living out of the underground bunkers and training against the pirates on the open sea surrounding the island, and as a result, they will be perhaps the toughest challenge for any trainer in Decona. Pirates will often come ashore to watch battles in progress and cheer or jeer at challengers from the sidelines.
