Chap 7- Samaya and Manaphy

Kyle and Marinyth walked up to the cracked part of the wall as some way behind them the Phantom had just entered the building his faithful Chatot by his head and his wing-man walking right behind him.

Jeb walked to the front and held up his bracelet against the wall in front of a little red dot which glowed before a pattern of blue surrounded it. Kyle delicately placed two fingers on the dial like projection and moved it in a pattern.

As the pattern was complete the crack swung open as May, Max, Drew and Ash looked surprised.

Jeb turned to look at them as Kyle and Marinyth walked into the new opening looking rather grim. "Do you have any water type Pokemon?" Jeb asked May, Drew, Max, Ash and Brock.

"Yeah.." All of them nodded.

"In that case its your turn." Jeb smiled at them as they looked baffled.

All of them hurried into the tunnel and out heroes gasped at what they saw.

XOXOX

Behind them, Phantom, his Chatot, Gaylen and a few sidekicks had reached the door through which our heroes had just gone. It had closed behind them.

Phantom ran to the door like cracks as Gaylen held up a lantern, "Its a dead end!" He said surprised.

"Watch.." Phantom grinned as he held up a broken bracelet with the same stone as what the people of the water wore. He held the bracelet to the red button as the code thing appeared again. Phantom twisted the blue light as the gate opened.

Gaylen walked inside first, holding the lantern as the Phantom followed behind him, the sidekicks last. Chatot flew above The Phantoms head.

The door led to a narrow stairway that led to a tunnel filled with water. It was like a passageway in which you had to ride on a water Pokemon or swim to go on.

"These were left by the people of the water, which means THAT must be who they are." The Phantom concluded as they descended the stairway.

Much further inside the blackness of one of the tunnels, Manaphy swam ahead in the water. The walls were covered by florescent green algae.

Manaphy appeared at home in the water and swam about happily. It jumped out like a dolphin as behind him, Kyle and the others were seen each riding on a water Pokemon.

Manaphy swam back to where Max, May, Drew, Ash and Misty were and jumped out over May and Drew's heads. May giggled as she held on to Squirtle while Drew smiled while holding onto his borrowed Starmie.

All of them emerged into a big dome shaped room that had yet more water inside it. This place had a platform on which a few pictures were made depicting a legend. The Pokemon swam towards the platform. All of them got off and returned their Pokemon to their poke-balls but not without thanking them for the ride first.

Ash and the group looked amazed at the size of the dome and the height of the walls on which a legend was depicted.

Kyle walked up on the platform and lifted a rock on one of the pillars. Many lights came on, illuminating the platform and the walls on which the legends were drawn. The ceiling also had some intricate design on it.

Everybody gasped as the ceiling glowed a diamond shape before becoming clear. It had a crown inside it and clouds seemed to be floating around it. Around the clouds there was some kind of a blue current and it had a sacred light surrounding it. Beyond the light, water was shown as numerous water Pokemon were drawn circling the crown.

May and Drew both looked up awed. Then both their eyes widened.

"Its exactly the same!" May exclaimed.

"Yeah.." Drew agreed, "Just like our dream.."

Max looked at them suspiciously, "Do you two have some kind of telepathy?"

Ash, Misty and Brock looked amazed.

Max was, however ignored as May and Drew continued to stare at the Temple drawn above their heads.

"It's the temple.. Samaya" Elizabeth explained smiling.

"Samaya..?" Ash muttered looking back up at the painting.

Marinyth smiled as she placed a hand on her hip, "Within the temple, there is a treasure called the sea crown."

"Sea crown?" Brock questioned slightly confused.

"Many thieves have appeared over the years attempting to steal the sea crown.." Jeb explained showing them another painting this time on the side of the wall. This one had the temple with many black greedy shadows looking at it and trying to get to it.

"So to protect the treasure and the temple itself, the people of the water set traps within the temple." Marinyth continued the story.

"What kind?" Max questioned completely hypnotized by the story.

"The sea temple can't be seen by the eyes of the mortals." Kyle told him.

"Wow.." May was into the story as well.

Drew looked at Kyle, "How is that?" he asked.

"It blends in with the water.." Kyle explained.

All our heroes were amazed. "That's very impressive.." Misty muttered.

"Once the temple was carried away by the tides," Jeb continued the explanation, pointing to another drawing on the wall. This one had the temple floating and traveling in the ocean with many shadows of water Pokemon in it.

"And since then the temple has drifted along the ocean continuously, making it impossible to find." Kyle told them as all of them studied the drawing.

"However," Jeb turned to yet another drawing. This one had a big red moon, the temple and people drawn in green worshiping the temple.

"The temple now appears only at the time of the total eclipse of the moon, that's when the people of the water have said to have held their festival honoring the water Pokemon." Marinyth finished.

"Wow.." Ash looked at the newest drawing.

'Pika..' Pikachu seemed to be quite impressed too.

"Yeah.. A temple that travels the oceans." Misty sighed.

"But wait.." Brock suddenly exclaimed, "If it can't be seen.."

"How do you find it?" Max finished catching on to Brock's thoughts.

"We think Manaphy can." Elizabeth spoke after a long time. All our heroes turned towards her, surprise evident on their faces. As if on cue, Manaphy did another dolphin leap out of the water near them. It went down and playfully tickled Buizel.

"The people of the water originally built the temple in the exact same place as the Manaphy lived." Elizabeth further explained pointing to another drawing. This one had the temple and a kind of a path drawn on it that two Manaphy were following to reach the temple.

"Even when the temple began to move about freely, all Manaphy have been born with a kind of homing instinct, which allows them to locate the temple at anytime.." Marinyth explained.

May and Drew had a suddenly flashback of their dream in which Manaphy was moving towards the temple.

"So as long as we've got Manaphy, we'll be able to find the temple." Ash concluded. 'Pika..' Pikachu agreed with him.

May's eyes suddenly widened as did Drew's, "That's why?" She turned to Drew.

Drew nodded, "Those men right?"

May nodded, "So that's why all those men were after Manaphy." she voiced what they were both thinking.

Max slapped his thigh, "Of course!"

Brock nodded, "They must be after the sea crown."

Jeb and Kyle nodded, "Good deciphering.."

Misty's eyes shone with a new light, "We must protect the sea temple at all costs!"

"We will.." Jeb smiled at her enthusiasm.

Jackie walked forward, he had been rather silent all this time, "We must also protect Manaphy at all costs, especially from the crusty old codger with the beard." he smirked.

"So who is that guy?" Drew asked him curiously.

"Phantom the pirate!" Jackie frowned, "He's one mean dude.."

XOXOX

Phantom walked out of the cave. It seemed as though they had gone back outside because they didn't have any means of going through the water tunnels.

He looked rather frightening as his face came out of the shadows and he walked right past the BC, which was parked outside.

He pointed back to the BC, "Search inside!" he barked to his subordinates. The three behind him, excluding Gaylen ran to the BC and inside it. 'Search inside!' was also echoed by his Chatot.

"Huh?" Phantom's eyes suddenly widened. Gaylen too stopped behind him.

Standing outside his helicopter washing it was none other than Team Rocket! As soon as they saw the Phantom, the three of them left their washing and ran to the Phantom rubbing their hands gleefully.

"The man of the hour!" All three of them exclaimed as they reached the Phantom and stopped in-front of him.

"Who.. are you?" Gaylen questioned.

James bent down as if greeting royalty, "I'm James from Team Rocket, humbly happy to have tipped you off to those twerps."

Jessie put one hand behind her head and one on her waist and spoke, "And I'm Jessie."

"I'm Meowth.." Said Pokemon scratched his head nervously.

"Give them their reward.." Phantom drawled as he started walking towards the helicopter again. 'Give them their reward' Chatot repeated.

"Yes sir.." Gaylen saluted.

Jessie, James and Meowth's eyes widened, they had probably not expected it to happen like this. They followed after the Phantom, rubbing their hands gleefully again.

"Thank you your highness, your too kind." James cooed.

Phantom just kept walking with a serious look on his face.

"Woed (word) out on d stweet (street) is dat you're d pirate's pajamas!" Meowth flattered him.

"Perhaps you could use some extra dirty hands?" Jessie asked politely.

By this time they had reached the helicopter with the bucket and mop against it that Team Rocket had left before. Phantom took his time to think about it.

"How are you at cleaning?" He asked finally, giving them a side glance.

"The dirtiest!" Jessie, James and Meowth exclaimed.
