Satoshi and his friends get lost in an unknown wasteland. They eventually come across a "Water Pokemon Show" performed by the star of the Mariner Troupe, Hiromi. Hiromi is a descendant of the troupe of Water People able to communicate with water pokemon, and she tells our heroes the legend that's been passed down by her people for generations. According to legend, a temple the Water People built called "The Water Temple Akuusha" rests somewhere in the ocean, and a treasure called "The Water Crown" is hidden there. It's said that no one has ever seen this treasure, but that changes when a Pokemon Ranger named Jack Walker (aka Jackie) appears to chase aftert it.
Jackie is on a top secret mission that has him protecting the egg of the leader of the water pokemon, Manaphy. This pokemon, called the "Prince of the Sea," needs to be taken to the Water Temple Akuusha, so Satoshi-tachi and Hiromi decide to help him. Along the way, a pirate named Phantom attacks our heroes from his great submarine. Phantom plans to use the Water Crown's power to help him conquer the world, but he'll have to solve the mystery of Manaphy's egg first. When the Rocket-Dan get into the mix, Jackie uses his Capture Styler to borrow the power of a nearby pokemon to stand up to them. Satoshi and Pikachu enter the fray, but they still have to contend with the attacks of Phantom's powerful high tech mecha! Suddenly, the egg starts to shine with a vivid light, and Manpahy is born!
What is the mystery of the legendary treasure? What mysterious powers does Manaphy have? Can Satoshi-tachi and Jackie complete their top secret mission? The journey to reach the Water Temple Akuusha has begun!

Where it came from
Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea was released in 2006 as the ninth feature-length film in the Pokémon franchise. Produced by OLM, Inc. and directed by Kunihiko Yuyama, the film was conceived to bridge the gap between the games and the anime, specifically highlighting the then-new Pokémon Ranger spin-off series. It serves as a nautical adventure set against the backdrop of the Sinnoh region's impending introduction, following Ash Ketchum and his friends as they assist a troupe of sea-faring water performers in protecting the legendary Sea Crown.
The film's visual identity was led by character designer Sayuri Ichiishi, who focused on capturing the fluid, aquatic themes central to the Manaphy-centric plot. The production team utilized a mix of traditional cel animation and increasingly sophisticated digital techniques to render the complex underwater sequences of the Temple of the Sea. Upon release, the film was received as a standard but technically accomplished entry in the series, praised for its environmental themes and the emotive design of the Mythical Pokémon Manaphy.
