Debut Arceus and the Jewel of Life

Michina Town (Japanese: ミチーナ Michina) is the setting for Arceus and the Jewel of Life.

Michina Town is a riverside town surrounded by flourishing nature. The town's centerpiece is the Michina Ruins.

Thousands of years ago, Michina Town was a desolate place, which was nothing but a wasteland. But the Jewel of Life's power that Arceus gave Damos made the town's soil rich and fertile. Then Damos constructed the town's ruins in order to praise Arceus' kindness.
