A mysterious {{pkmn|Egg}} floats by in the ocean teeming with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It glides along the water, going through a school of {{p|Remoraid}}, past a few {{p|Clamperl}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, and whatnot. The Egg finally settles down as a group of {{p|Lanturn}} and {{p|Chinchou}} have a look. Suddenly, the school of fishlike Pokémon swim away as spotlights shine upon the Egg. Above the water, three helicopters hover low over the surface, scanning the Egg. Confirmation of the "treasure" is relayed to a large submarine underwater; where aboard [[Captain Phantom]] of the Phantom Troop executes his plan to secure the Egg. His {{p|Chatot}} flies onto the shoulder of the Captain's right-hand man, squawking the Captain's words. | A mysterious {{pkmn|Egg}} floats by in the ocean teeming with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Once the submarine gets close enough, a mechanical arm goes out to encase the Egg in a glass case and brings it back. With the operation a success, Captain Phantom heads down to the room where the Egg sits on a stand, still encased by the glass container. He marvels at his prize, and just before he could grab it, one of his pirates snatches it. Angered by the traitor, the Captain sends his men after him, but the mysterious traitor dodges their lunges, also correcting the Captain by revealing that he wasn't aligned with Phantom, to begin with, and thus wasn't a traitor. Escaping down a corridor, he is sandwiched at either end. Fortunately, there is a ladder on a vertical conveyor that he uses to escape. Getting to a higher floor, he jumps off the ladder, kicking the guardrail so that his pursuers can't find a way up without bumping their head on it. He makes a quick stop to the mess hall kitchen. While securing the Egg in a carrying bag, he makes contact with his "mission coordinator", [[Judy]], to tell her he's secured the Egg. But just as he was ending the transmission, the pirates found him and began surrounding him. The man makes his move by jumping on pots, landing in a way that they fly onto the heads of the others as he makes his escape. On his way out, he pours a sack of potatoes onto the floor to keep the ones behind him busy. | Once the submarine gets close enough, a mechanical arm goes out to encase the Egg in a glass case and brings it back.

The group heads down into the ruins, deeper until they reach what appears to be a dead end. Shep holds a bracelet of seashells near a gem in the end wall. It glows to resemble a combination lock. He slides it to the right combination and a door opens up. Kai asks everyone if they have water Pokémon since they'll be traveling down a canal. A few minutes later, Phantom steps down into the ruins, coming across the same dead end. However Phantom knows of this somehow and he pulls out a similar bracelet from his pocket. To his disappointment, however, he comes across the canal, but there's no way for him to go. Getting back to the surface, Phantom finds the Rocket Trio washing his helicopter. After asking what they were doing and wanted, Jessie, James, and Meowth offer their cleaning services to Phantom, to which he promptly refuses. However, with stubbornness, they get to go along with Phantom as cleaners. | The group heads down into the ruins, deeper until they reach what appears to be a dead end.

As the group swims down the canal, Manaphy is enjoying its time in the water. They soon come up to another wall, which is decorated with murals that tell a legend. She explains that there was once an Ocean Temple named [[Samiya]] where water Pokémon and the "People of the Water" had resided, and where a "King of the Sea" lived. However, evil spirits began invading, and so the king used his power to protect the temple, encasing it in a bubble and taking it below the ocean. Although normally it cannot be seen by the naked eye, during a {{wp|lunar eclipse}} the moon will glow red for a brief period and Samiya will be visible. But they have to get to the temple before the next lunar eclipse occurs in a few days. Manaphy is this "Prince of the Sea", and has a homing device of sorts that will lead it to the temple's current location. So Shep plans on leading them to a port town, where he'll have a boat waiting to take Manaphy to Samiya. As the group further reaches the exit, Jackie requests that Ash and his friends don't come along with him further and that May leaves Manaphy with him. He says this journey is too dangerous for them, and that this is a Pokémon Ranger's job. | As the group swims down the canal, Manaphy is enjoying its time in the water.

Meanwhile, Phantom tries to find a possible idea of where the group could've gone. But as his right-hand man attempts to map out the route, the canal suddenly branches off into many different paths. It'll take a little while to out where they've gone. | Meanwhile, Phantom tries to find a possible idea of where the group could've gone.

The Blue Lagoon spots the sub on sonar once again and they begin to follow it. However, they notice another sub tailing them. Behind the Blue Lagoon's submarine is a smaller one belonging to Phantom. At some point, the Blue Lagoon's submarine blips out of sonar again. Underwater, it appears that it went through some kind of barrier. And then, the moon begins to transition into a red color. Soon, the water temple of Samiya appears right in front of the Blue Lagoon's submarine, with Manaphy still wanting them to follow. They find a "port" where they dock at. It appears that Samiya is encased in a bubble, with half of it full of water, and is a complete water palace. Jackie fears however that the follower of the Blue Lagoon's sub is Phantom, and he dives in, capturing a Mantyke along the way to speed the process of getting down to Samiya. | The Blue Lagoon spots the sub on sonar once again and they begin to follow it.

As Manaphy leads the group down a corridor, which is blocked by a waterfall. Manaphy steps up and begins to sing once more, with the temple repeating the notes in a lower tone. Then, the waterfall splits, and several more behind it split as well, opening the pathway deeper into the temple. Just then, Phantom docks at Samiya, making a little dance as he's found the temple. As he dashes onward, a pod connected at the back of the sub suddenly opens to reveal Jessie, James, and Meowth who snuck on to follow Phantom. The group reaches an apparent dead end, but there's a small obelisk with some ancient writing on it. Meredith says that Shep can read it, and maybe they could go onward if he was here. Just then, Phantom makes his appearance, boasting that he could read it. It read that beyond is a treasure room that holds the Sea Crown. He takes out his shell bracelet that he had stolen, and a similar combination mechanism shows. Phantom lines it up and doors open up ahead. Everyone follows after him and soon they reach a large hollow chasm of a room with openings for the many canals. A platform in the middle has an altar with crystals embedded in it, with water flowing up towards the top. Phantom begins exclaiming that he was after the crystals, but soon Manaphy decides to swim in the flow of water. But this doesn't stop Phantom, as he pulls out a crystal. Suddenly the water stops and Manaphy falls to May. The temple begins rumbling in an ominous manner. Water begins spurting out of the openings, and it's soon realized that Samiya has become unstable. At this rate, there's no time to stop Phantom, so the group heads back for the submarine. Along the way they meet up with Jackie, who tells everyone to just go back, he'll take care of Phantom. | As Manaphy leads the group down a corridor, which is blocked by a waterfall.

Everyone heads back for the sub, while back in the treasure room, Phantom is plucking out more crystals. By now the water level in the room has reached about a quarter way, although the altar itself is still dry. Jackie comes in, stopping Phantom from plucking out another crystal. Jackie taunts the pirate, using his acrobatic techniques to evade Phantom while grabbing a crystal and placing it back in its place. Phantom manages to corner Jackie as he tries to place another crystal, but a column of water splashes nearby, throwing both off the platform and they soon land into the flooded area. Both are taken into two different canals. Phantom pops up out onto a canal, finding the crystal just ahead of him. He rushes towards it but the crystal slips away into a smaller opening. | Everyone heads back for the sub, while back in the treasure room, Phantom is plucking out more crystals.
