'''Michina Town''' (Japanese: '''ミチーナ''' ''Michina'') is the setting for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

Michina Town is a riverside town surrounded by flourishing nature. The town's centerpiece is the Michīna 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 {{p|Arceus}} gave [[Damos]] made the town's soil rich and fertile. Then Damos constructed the town's ruins in order to praise {{an|Arceus}}' kindness.

==Michina Ruins==

The Michina Ruins are old ruins of a temple, located at the peak of a huge, rocky mountain in Michina. Beside the ruins is a beautiful lake.

The ruins are guarded by [[Sheena]] and {{an|Kevin}}. It is where [[Damos]] witnessed the awakening of {{p|Arceus}}. It is also the home of the [[Jewel of Life]]. The Space-Time Axis can be found in the basement of the ruins.
