Donto Island (Japanese:ドント島Donto Island) is ananimated series-exclusive location inDate Expectations, located betweenMirage Island andPacifidlog Town. It is home to a large number ofDonphan. Even though it seems unpopulated by humans, it does have a small harbor on one side of the island, which has a ferry service to Pacifidlog Town.
Ash,Brock,May, andMax were on their way to Pacifidlog Town for May's finalContest when the engine of the boat they were on broke. The captain,Carlos told them that it might take a few hours to fix and that they should be able to take the boat to Pacifidlog Town on the other side of Donto Island.
Ash andhis friends stepped foot onto the island and soon encountered its resident Donphan. They were attacked by a Donphan that usedRollout but stopped it with the help ofMudkip, andCorphish. They became friends with this Donphan and learned that it was attracted to a femaleShiny Donphan. At first, the female Donphan wasn't interested in the Donphan Ash and his friends helped, but after taking onTeam Rocket, the pair fell in love.
The group finally reached the other side of the island, narrowly missing the Pacifidlog-bound ferry. However, Carlos returned with his repaired boat and he managed to get Ash and his friends to their destination.
