May and Manaphy share a heartfelt farewell before the group watches Samiya return to depths of the ocean. With Phantom arrested, Walker is able to deliver Manaphy safely to Samiya, completing his mission. Phantom returns with his ship, but Manaphy leads an assault with several wild Water-type Pokémon to destroy the ship and subdue Phantom in its rubble. Ash, surrounded by a glowing aura from the Sea Crown, pursues Phantom and retrieves Manaphy. While May and Pikachu mourn Ash's apparent sacrifice, Phantom appears and kidnaps Manaphy. He puts Pikachu, May, and Manaphy in an air capsule that was part of Phantom's submarine before swimming to the completely flooded chamber and reconnecting the crystal, causing Samiya to rise to the ocean's surface. While escaping the flood, Ash finds the last crystal in a fountain.

Ash and May reconnect the remaining crystals and notice one is missing. Determined to save its home, Manaphy returns to the crown chamber with Ash, Pikachu and May in tow, while Lizabeth, Brock, and Max are forced to depart in the submarine. The group escapes to the submarine while Walker confronts Phantom, reconnecting most of the crystals to the crown before he, Phantom, and one of the crystals, are washed away by the flood. Phantom begins to remove the crystals, causing Samiya to flood and sink deeper into the ocean. While exploring Samiya, the group encounters Phantom, who is able to open the chamber to the Sea Crown, the temple's central artifact consisting of numerous large crystals. Unbeknownst to them, Phantom had been in pursuit. Lizabeth, the Marina Group's daughter, along with Ash and his friends board a submarine to search for Manaphy, eventually finding it along with Samiya during the expected lunar eclipse. One day, May loses her bandana to the wind and Manaphy embarks far into the ocean to retrieve it.
Walker requests that Ash helps him separate the two, but May overhears them and becomes heartbroken over her and Manaphy's inevitable farewell. Manaphy leads the boat toward Samiya, and to Walker's dismay, May and Manaphy bond closer. Walker declines Ash and his friends’ further involvement with his mission and departs in a boat with the Marina Group toward Samiya, however Manaphy shows discomfort without May's presence, forcing Ash and his friends along anyway. The group escapes Phantom to a network of ruins belonging to the People of the Water, where Ash and his friends learn about Samiya. When Phantom leads an assault after the egg, Manaphy hatches in May's arms, who then recognizes her as its mother. Pokémon trainer Ash Ketchum, his Pikachu, and their friends Brock, May, and her brother Max become lost on their journey and encounter the Marina Group and inadvertently become involved with Walker's mission. Walker joins the Marina Group, a traveling circus family that specializes in Water-types, to deliver the Manaphy egg to Samiya, an undersea palace built by the People of the Water, whom the Marina Group are descendants of. Yuyama visited the ruins of Rome, the city of Naples and the island of Capri, all in Italy, to get ideas of the setting for the film.Īn egg belonging to the mythical Pokémon Manaphy floats across the ocean before it is collected by mercenary Phantom the Pirate, but the egg is subsequently taken by Jack Walker, a Pokémon Ranger disguised as one of Phantom's crew members. The movie's theme song is titled "Mamoru Beki Mono" by Sowelu. This is the last film to feature May and Max as main characters in the series.
