The middle of a marsh is not the best place for a settlement, all things considered, but the fishermen and trainers of Buteston don't even seem to notice. Unfazed by the reek of the marshlands and by the dangerous Pokemon which lurk all around town, Buteston natives go about their lives without a hitch, fishing at the wee hours of the morning and selling their catch of the day locally or down in Graucan City. This small grouping of homes and shops is all built upon wooden docks that elevate the settlement above the water, and hanging from the docks and buildings are glass lanterns which are lit before sundown every night; the misty glass encasing the flames protects them from inclement weather, which allows just enough light to get around by even during one of the area's frequent storms. Still, the atmosphere of the marsh at night is eerie, and the hazy glow of the lanterns does little to comfort most visitors. The two biggest buildings in Buteston are the Pokemon Center and the Butes Gym, both of which are built upon the docks and constructed of wood like the rest of the town. They are located on the westernmost end of town, right next to the docks connecting to Umbil Lake.
