The pirate captain originally snatched the {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}} {{pkmn|Egg}} as it was drifting through the ocean. He had it in his possession for only a few minutes when [[Jack Walker]] took it back and escaped.
The Phantom is the captain of a crew whose ultimate goal is to possess the [[Sea Crown]]. He is shown to have super-human strength due to his mechanized suit. He appears to be very knowledgeable about the [[People of the Water]] and even has a crystal from the People of the Water. He travels around using his own [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|submarine]] and helicopter.

[[James]] later called the Phantom to let him know where the Manaphy Egg was. This led to the Marina Group, along with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} being attacked by the Phantom and their trailer got pulled away. When the group got to the ruins left by the [[People of the Water]], he followed.  


He was later seen tracking down the group's boat in desperate attempt to get Manaphy for his own. He apparently wanted the [[Sea Crown]] very badly. Once he got to the Sea Crown, he started taking the jewels off it one by one, causing the [[Samiya|Sea Temple]] to sink. Jackie came and put most of the jewels back in place. After a frantic fight over one jewel both of them fell off a ledge.

This led to the Marina Group, along with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} being attacked by the Phantom. Despite destroying the group's trailer, the group escaped into ruins left by the People of the Water. However, Phantom used a crystal from the People of the Water to follow the group.  


A while after that, he got out of the sinking temple on a water rocket. After the temple was saved, he came up and stole Manaphy one last time. However, Ash grabbed it back and Phantom was flung into the water. This wasn't the end of Phantom, as he soon rose above the waves in his submarine base and attempted an onslaught using the base's supersonic projectors that caused all Pokémon in the vicinity, even {{p|Kyogre}}, to writhe in pain.  
As the Marina group, Ash and his friends ventured towards [[Samiya]], the Phantom was seen tracking down the group's boat, but remained unseen by the group. Once the Phantom reached the Sea Crown, he began to take the jewels off it one by one, causing the Sea Temple to sink. Jackie came and put most of the jewels back in place, but after a frantic fight, one of the jewels fell and became lost.


Manaphy, however, began to fight the sonic waves and counters with its {{m|Heart Swap}} Ability, restoring order to the {{t|Water}} Pokémon. Soon the water Pokémon counterattack the base, with the {{p|Wailord}} bashing the submarine (nearly knocking Phantom off in the process), as well as creating a tear in the base. The {{p|Chinchou}} swim into the crack, short-circuiting the submarine. Lastly, Manaphy ordered Kyogre to use its {{m|Hyper Beam}} to destroy the sub. On the remains of the sub, the Phantom attempted to hold up a pillar of debris up to prevent it from crushing him, revealing his mechanized super-suit (the object of his overwhelming strength), but the suit malfunctions and, as a result, the pillar crushed him beneath its weight.
Realizing the Temple was sinking, The Phantom got out of the sinking temple on a water rocket. After the temple was eventually saved, he came up and stole Manaphy, knowing that he only needed Manaphy to relocate Samiya and the Sea Crown. However, Ash grabbed it back and Phantom was flung into the water. This wasn't the end of Phantom, as he soon rose above the waves in his submarine base and attempted an onslaught using the base's supersonic projectors that caused all Pokémon in the vicinity, even {{p|Kyogre}}, to writhe in pain.


It does not kill him, since during the credits, the Phantom is seen in jail with [[Galen]], thanks to Jackie tipping [[Officer Jenny]] on his whereabouts.

The Phantom (Japanese: ファントム船長 Captain Phantom) is the main antagonist in the fourth Advanced Generation series movie, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.

In the anime

The Phantom is the captain of a crew whose ultimate goal is to possess the Sea Crown. He is shown to have super-human strength due to his mechanized suit. He appears to be very knowledgeable about the People of the Water and even has a crystal from the People of the Water. He travels around using his own submarine and helicopter.

The pirate captain was first introduced in the movie snatching the Manaphy Egg as it was drifting through the ocean. He had it in his possession for only a short time before Jack Walker took it and escaped.

The Phantom's mecha suit

After Team Rocket spot the Manaphy Egg, James called the Phantom to let him know where the Manaphy Egg was. This led to the Marina Group, along with Ash and his friends being attacked by the Phantom. Despite destroying the group's trailer, the group escaped into ruins left by the People of the Water. However, Phantom used a crystal from the People of the Water to follow the group.

As the Marina group, Ash and his friends ventured towards Samiya, the Phantom was seen tracking down the group's boat, but remained unseen by the group. Once the Phantom reached the Sea Crown, he began to take the jewels off it one by one, causing the Sea Temple to sink. Jackie came and put most of the jewels back in place, but after a frantic fight, one of the jewels fell and became lost.

Realizing the Temple was sinking, The Phantom got out of the sinking temple on a water rocket. After the temple was eventually saved, he came up and stole Manaphy, knowing that he only needed Manaphy to relocate Samiya and the Sea Crown. However, Ash grabbed it back and Phantom was flung into the water. This wasn't the end of Phantom, as he soon rose above the waves in his submarine base and attempted an onslaught using the base's supersonic projectors that caused all Pokémon in the vicinity, even Kyogre, to writhe in pain.

Manaphy, however, began to fight the sonic waves and countered with its Heart Swap Ability, restoring order to the Water-type Pokémon. Soon the water Pokémon attacked the base, with the Wailord bashing the submarine, as well as creating a tear in the base. The Chinchou swam into the crack, short-circuiting the submarine. Lastly, Manaphy ordered Kyogre to use its Hyper Beam to destroy the submarine. On the remains of the sub, the Phantom attempted to hold up a pillar of debris up to prevent it from crushing him, revealing his mechanized suit.

Phantom remained pinned down during the ending, and during the credits, the Phantom was seen in jail with Galen, thanks to Jackie tipping Officer Jenny on his whereabouts.
