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 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 Arceus gave Damos made the town's soil rich and fertile. Then Damos constructed the town's ruins in order to praise 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 Kevin. It is where Damos witnessed the awakening of Arceus. It is also the home of the Jewel of Life. The Space-Time Axis can be found in the basement of the ruins.
