"Manphay! Manphay!"
Under the water, May was worried at that small, blue, aquatic Pokemon went unconscious
"Ma...Ma...?" Manphay opened it's eyes
"Manphay!" May was happy "I missed you so much! How's your day? Did anywhere hurts?"
"Ma ma...why did you...abandoned me...?" Manphay said
"I abandoned...you?" May a bit confused because back then it's Manphay's decision to sperate with May "Did you decided to stay in Saiyma yourself?"
Manphay was about to close the eyes again. May can't help but become heartbroken and blaming herself "I'm sorry Manphay, I dosen't meant to like this! Please don't leave me! It's all my fault for leaving you in Saiyma and I won't do that again! Manaphy! Manaphy!"
May woke up as she screams, seeing that the sun has risen and Ash and Serena had well and up already and went to somewhere else, and Brock, Max and Misty were still sleeping, May realized that it's all just the dream.
May thoughts: The dream is just like what happened in Hoenn before, but Manaphy was blaming me for not taking care of it? Isn't it decided to back to Saiyma by itself? And isn't Manphay had returned to the Samiya? Maybe I'm just thinking too much...
May can feels her stomach rumbling
"Looks like I need to find if there's any restaurant that open 24/7" May said.
Still midnight, May was walking through the street alone and trying to find if there's restaurant opening. But as she saw the river, her memories about Manaphy was keep spinning on her head!
"What am I thinking? That's make no sense that Saiyma would came to Jotho! Right?" But the more May's attempt to distract herself, her memories about Manphay become more profound. Eventally, she stopped walking and sitting at the corner and she looking at the river and begin to cry.
"Manphay...where did you go..."
"Ash! Wake up! Wake up!" Latias (in Bianca form) was pulling Ash, who was being hugged by Serena.
"Hmm...Latias?" Ash and Serena was woke up very sleepy?
"Something was coming to Alto Mare!" Latias panics
"What is that thing-wha?" Latias took Ash away and run
Serena seeing that Bianca holding Ash hand, Serena was a bit jealous. But she quickly back to the sense and decided to follows Ash!
"Wait for me!"
Meanwhile, they saw May was sitting at the corner and hugging her lap like the child who got abused!
"May!" Ash and Serena was so worried about May
Latias looks worried for May, seems like even Latias knows that something must be happened to May
Ash: "May! Are you ok? Is there's anyone hurted you?"
May: No one hurted me...
Ash: Is there anything bothers you?
May: Thank you so much... but nothing...
Serena: May, just tell me what happened, we're best friends isn't it?
May: I...miss...Manaphy...
Serena: Manaphy? Isn't it still in Saiyma?
Ash: Wait you know about Saiyma?
Serena: Yes, May told me about your adventure with her in Hoenn.
May hugged Ash and Serena so hard and begin to cry hard.
May: Ash...am I Manaphy's terrible mother?
Ash: Abandon? What are you talking about? Didn't Manaphy decided to stay in Saiyma?
"I don't know..." May sobbed
"I'm sorry to hear that, May, you're not alone." Serena couldnt help but hug her "Maybe we can go to Saiyma and find Manaphy together!"
May: But isn't Saiyma is invisible temple-
"Mama..."
May heard something calling her
Serena: "May?"
"It cant be... it's Manaphy!" May running towards the bridge.
"May, where are you going?" Ash and Serena said as they following May
"I'm trying to find Manaphy!" May said "I feels like it was there!"
After May went to the bridge, she saw the exact same small, blue, aquatic pokemon that appeared in her dream! May immediately jumped to the river and hugs that Pokemon!
May countines her tears, she had been so sure... So certain she was going to see him again...but she also feels guilty for abandon it!
Manaphy: "Ma-ma (May)! HAPPYYY!"
May: "I'm sorry Manaphy, I promise I wont abandoned you again! Please forgive me!"
Manaphy looks confused: "Mama didn't abandon me, mama loves Manaphy all day, and Manaphy loves you too"
Serena: "It's really cute!"
May had put down the big stone, she found that her dream today is not from Manaphy's Heartswap, but May had just think too much about Manaphy!
May: "So Manaphy, how's your day been?"
Manaphy: "manaphy been good, Mama."
Manaphy looking at the 2 new face, A-Aunt (Serena)! and A-aunt (Latias)!
Manaphy: Aunt (Serena) and Aunt (Latias), Phi!
"It's really cute!" Serena and Latias looking at Manaphy
Manphy: "Phi!"
Ash: "May, isn't Manaphy supposed to stay at the Sea Temple? He must be a pretty long way from it right now"
May: I don't know, maybe he missing me too much...
"I see, so Manaphy had floated here" A teenager wearing the red clothes walking towards Ash, Serena and May.
"Jackie!" Ash said "It's been a while since last time we meet!"
Jack Walker: "Yeah, it's been a while. So many things had changed."
"Jackie...why..." May looking at Jackie with resentment for how he separated her and Manaphy back then
Ash: So Jackie, why you're here?
Jackie: "I'm here to take Manaphy back to Sea Temple"
What May worried the most had finally happened. Jackie was going to take away Manaphy from her!
"But...why...?" May looking at Jackie with horrified on her face
Jackie didn't respond
"Phi! Mama" (Mother, I don't want to go back there!) Manaphy begin to cries
"Just Tell me! Is there's no way other than putting Manaphy back is the only way to stop it?!" May yelled
"Well..." Jackie faltered "It's because it's our mission, we have to do that"
Serena: But you should think about what's best for Manaphy!
Jackie: "And do you understand how important of my responsibility is?"
May begin to angry "...So you're telling me that I have to put it back just because it's your mission...?"
"Well..." Jackie faltered "Our mission are absolute." Jackie only responses with weak excuse. This makes May went heartbroken and May starts to tear
"...You heartless monster! " May wasn't about to give up her baby without a fight. " If you really want Manaphy that hard, then you'll have to go through me! Blaziken come on out!" May pulled out her pokeball and decided to fight against Jackie for Manaphy
"Blaziken!"
Ash: You both calm down! May did have the point, technically May had become Manaphy's adoptive mother and if putting him in Saiyma, he'll just came back again...
Jackie was briefly silenced as he begin to realized that they're right. "Well then, while it's not the right time to do so, I don't see why you can't keep your Manaphy"
May had took back her Blaziken, "thank you so much!"
"Big sister where are you- ah!" Max appears at the bridge and runned down the stairs.
"Ash, Serena, Sister what's happening- wait is that Manaphy?" Max was suprised to see that Manaphy came to here.
Meanwhile, Serena's Absol pop out from the Pokeball!
"Sol!" Absol looks panic!
Serena: Absol what happened?
"Sol!" (Something was coming to Alto Mare!)
Latias attempted to use telepathy to communicate with Absol to get what happened, and Latias looks horrified!
Latias: "You're telling me that...something was coming to Alto Mare?"
Latias hugged Ash tightly
Ash: Latias what's going on?
Latias: Absol told me that something was coming to Alto Mare...and if it aground here, the water inside will flood the entire Alto Mare...! We need to go to find the Soul Dew to reactive DMA!
Ash: But Latias, are you trying to scaifice yourself to protect here like your brothers did?
With Manaphy and Jackie are now here, and Absol had warned about something was heading to Alto Mare, which giving Ash and May's clue about that thing might possiblity the...Sea Temple Saiyma!
Ash: So...who's going to stop "that thing?"
"I'll go to the stop that thing myself" May said
"I'll come with you sister!" Max said
Serena: But May, Max, can you two able to handle that?
May watching at Serena with Playful look: We can able to take care of myself, not like you who rely on me or Ash for a rescue-
Serena went shy: I'm not that "Damsel who need Ash's recuse" anymore! I'm much stronger than before-
Ash: Well May is right, it's your first time went here. She's worried about your safely as we have no idea what happened to that Sea Temple.
They splited into two groups, With May, Max and Jackie went to the Sea Temple while Ash, Serena and Latias went to find the Soul Dew.
Ash: So Latias, where is the Soul Dew?
Latias: It was buried in the ground at the secret gardan!
Ash: Underground? Ah I have an idea. I've chosen you Dunscapce!
"Dunscapce!"
Ash: Dunscapce can you help us to find the Soul Dew?
"Dunscape!" (With pleasure!) Dunscapce burrows into the ground and created the tunnel for Ash, Serena and Latias. As they walked inside the tunnel, Serena can see that Latias was crying
Serena: Latias? Are you crying?
Latias: Will you got mad if I tell you...
Serena: What?
Latias: I'm in love with Ash and...I kissed Ash...
Serena was shocked at the fact that she not just got her love rival now, but her love rival is a legandary pokemon!
"Yes people and Pokémon used to mate. Well hundreds of years ago they did..." Latias looking down in shame. "I'm sorry Serena I don't know that he already have someone else!"
Serena was upset for a while, but she then back to her optimism:"Latias can we be friends?"
Latias: "Serena...you..."
Serena: "Well you're not the only one who try to steal Ash from me (Miette), and I get used to it."
Ash: What you two talking about?
Serena and Latias blushed: Not...nothing...
May, Max and Jackie had arrived the Sea Temple
Jackie: May, do you still remember where is the Sea Crown?
Jackie: May, do you still remember where is the Sea Crown?
May: "Yes."
When they arrived the Sea Crown, May was horrified to see that the Sea Crown had been polluted and covered with Dark Aura!
"That's terrible... " May said.
"What is this...?" Jackie said
"The Dark Aura that can able to corrupt non pokemon things..." Max said "I got it! We'll have to use the Water type Pokemon to purify it-"
Meanwhile, that dark aura absorbed Manaphy inside!
"Manaphy no!" May said
"Phi!" Manaphy screams
Jackie: "May no that's too dangerous!"
May desperately jump inside the dark aura, the dark aura makes May painfully screams
Max: "Sister no!"
Manaphy: "Mama!" (Mom, why are you...risking your life?)
May (painfully moans) Protecting son is... the responsibility of...being mother!
Max: Gallade come on out!
"Gallade!"
"Found it!" Ash, Serena and Latias had found the Soul Dew. "Now we shall head to DMA!'
While Ash, Serena and Latias arrived DMA, they saw Bianca was here! However, this DMA looks a little bit difference as it comes with 2 two cockpits with touch pad
While Ash, Serena and Latias arrived DMA, they saw Bianca was here! However, this DMA looks a little bit difference as it comes with 2 two cockpits with touch pad
While Ash, Serena and Latias arrived DMA, they saw Bianca was here! However, this DMA looks a little bit difference as it comes with 2 two cockpits with touch pad
Bianca: Ash, you came at the right time! This new DMA only requires Soul Dew to operate!
Serena: So Latias don't need to be scaificed?
Bianca: Yes
Ash, Serena: Thanks arceus...
"But...but my brother will..."
Serena: So what happen if the DMA is enabled?
Bianca: The entire Alto Mare will be locked down with metal barriers!
Ash and Serena worried about what will happen to May, because if DMA is enabled, then no one can able to came to helps her because they're trapped inside the Alto Mare!
Ash, Serena: In that case...May will...
Max's Gallade attempt to pull out his sister form the dark aura, but the dark aura is too powerful for Gallade to pull her out! The dark aura makes May's body barely able to move!
Manaphy: "Phi!" (Mom you looks hurts!)
May: As long as I can save you...such pain is nothing! Ughhh!
"Sol!"
Absol shoots the Dark Pulse to that Dark Aura and freed May and Manaphy. Ash, Serena and Absol had arrived to the sea crown!
Serena: May, are you alright?
May: (Pants) I'm good...
"Phi!" Manaphy yells, thousands of Water Type Pokemon, appears outside the Sea Temple and pushing the Sea Temple to prevent it aground on Alto Mare!
May: "Manaphy?"
Manaphy: "Phi mama." (Thank you for saving me, mother)
Max: Yay! Now that the Manaphy had called the water type pokemon to slowing down the sea temple, we can able to purify those crystals without worrying!
May: "Ash? Serena? Isn't you both in DMA?"
Serena: "Latias told us to go to help you"
Serena glanced at those crystal that being covered by the dark aura. "It looks horriflying..."
Max: "It's all that dark aura doing! We'll need to pull out the pokemon with water type move to purify it!"
Ash: "I've chosen you Greninja!" "Gren!"
May: "Wartortle come on out!" "Wartortle!"
Jackie: "Mantyke come on out!" "Mantyke!"
Ash: Greninja use double team and Water Shuriken!
May: Wartortle use Aqua Tail!
Jackie: Mantyke use Aqua Cutter!
4 water move had hitted the dark aura and seemly eliminated it , but the dark aura later come back!
Max: No way! It dosen't work?
Serena: If only I can do something to help them by make some water...
"Sol!" (Make water? I can do this!) Absol raises it's hand and howls towards the sky, the clouds had been generated from the ceiling and the rain pours from those clouds, which much to Serena's confusion
" It's Rain Dance! Absol had just learned the new move!" Max claimed excitingly
"Looks like Absol had respond with Serena's determination of helping people!" Ash excitied
The Rain Dance had slowed down the Dark Aura from recovering, but it's still not enough to get rid the dark aura!
"It works! Now all we need is to throw more water move to it!" Ash said
May: "Serena, can I borrow your wind a little bit?"
Serena: "Oh right! I get what you mean! Let's do this!'
Serena: "Sylveon come on out!" "Sylveon!"
Serena: "Sylveon use Fairy wind!"
May: "Wartortle use Bubble!"
Wartortle's Bubble and Sylveon's Fairy Wind fuse into a water-fairy whirlwind which surrounds the dark aura.
Ash: That's-
Max: One of the combined moves where Serena and my sister practice during Hoenn
Ash: In that case, I can't lose either! Greninja use double team and water shuriken!
With the combined effort of water- fairy whirlwind, various of water shuriken and the rainy dance, the dark aura had finally purified for good.
Ash: Yay we made it!
While they're celebrating, Ash, Serena, May and Jackie were being covered by yellow aura!
While they're celebrating, Ash, Serena, May and Jackie were being covered by yellow aura!
Ash: I see, I'm still the King of Sea then...
In DMA, both Latias and Bianca were in the cockpit.
Bianca: Did Ash finally managed to made it...?
Latias: Yes.
As Bianca and Latias turned off the DMA. Latias heard something that she havent heard for a while.
Bianca: What's happening?
Latias: It's Latios...
Latias tooks the Soul Dew
Latias: "Latios! Is that really you?"
Soul Dew: "Yes it's me, Latias"
(In M05, Latios had scaificed himself and turned himself into the Soul Dew)
Latias cries from joy for knowing that Latios was still alive (or he had been revived? no one will knows)
The power of yellow aura allows Ash, May, Max and Jackie gains the ability of flying freely and breath in water. Everyone but Serena flying inside the temple and having so much fun

"Isn't that always fun to play together?" Ash heading towards Serena
Serena: Wa-wa-wait Ash I didn't meant this- Wha-
Ash: "It'll be fine, Serena. Here, just hold onto my arm if you need to."
Ash carried Serena like a princess and begin to fly outside, which makes Serena blushed so hard. Everyone flights outside the Sea Temple and looking at how beautiful of Alto Mare's sunrise is.

Everyone looks so excited, except one...
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Serena was screaming for founding herself in mid air, despite with Ash holding her.
"You'll enjoy it" Ash laughs
"Ash!" Latias flies towards Ash, carries Misty, Brock and Bianca
"Damn you Ash, why you didn't invite us for such fun things? " Misty said
"I'm sorry... but can you give me for second...?" Ash shared the power of Yellow Aura to Misty ,Brock and Bianca, allowing them to flying freely as well. "Here you go"
Misty: "I can fly...I can fly! Yay!"
Seeing that everyone looks so enjoyable, Serena had slowly casted off her shyness "I think I begin to understand what does Ash's Journey feels like...!"
Ash: "See? I told you that you'll enjoy it!"
Everyone jumps towards the underwater to discover to see all the water Pokémon that Manaphy had gathered.

After few hours of free flying, the Sea Temple is leaving the Alto Mare. Ash, Serena, May, Misty, Brock and Max says goodbye to Jackie ,and they were lying on ground and watching the beautiful sky.
"Mama! Happyyy!" Manaphy seated in May's lap and looking at Serena. "Love you, mama, love you, aunt (Serena)"
May said with a smile on her face: Looks like Manaphy have some affection to you too, Serena.
Serena: Re-really?
They both laughs for a while.
Manaphy: "Phi!"
May: "Wait Manaphy you wants me to caught you?"
Manaphy: "Yes!"
Serena's Sylveon poped out from her pokeball, pulled Manaphy and Latias into a group hug. Even Pikachu had joined them as well! Word can't describe how warm of having 4 cute Pokemon plays together.
"Owww so cute!" May and Serena was charmed at such heartwarming sight.
"Wait May where did you get that Manaphy?" Brock glanced at the small blue Pokémon on May's lap
May: "The Sea Temple had floated just floated here."
Manaphy: "Mama!"
May: "Manaphy, how's your first day to be with mom?"
Manaphy: "Happy!"
Seeing the beautiful sight of May and Manaphy, Ash begin to consider what love is.
Ash: "So is this what...love is...?"
Hearing that Ash begin to understand about romance, Serena begin to smiled.
Serena thoughts: Ash, your dense shell had finally begin to crack...But wait...how come I didn't aware that Ash still looks a little bit...unusually young? He looks as young as...Max and Bonnie for... some reason...
"Wait May, isn't Manaphy in Sea Temple?" Brock was suprised how would Manaphy would back to May.
May: "He found me by himself because he missed me so much"
Manaphy: "Mama!"
May: You want me to caught you in pokeball?
Manaphy: "Phi!" (Yes!)
May pulled out her pokeball to Manaphy's forehead, , and he went inside. After only a single shake, the confirmation click sounded. No sooner had this happened than the ball burst open and the little Water-Type jumped back into May's arms.
"Happy!" he squealed joyfully for becoming the part of May's team.
May thoughts: "I was not dreaming...I reunited with Manaphy, and now I have Manaphy in my Pokemon Party... !"
Ash, Serena, Brock and Max celebrates for May for having Manaphy finally officially become the part of May's team.
May: "Thank you so much, Ash, Serena, Max. "
Manaphy: "Mama, everyone, thank you so much."
Behind Ash's friends, Bianca was drawing the picture of May and Manaphy "What a world masterpiece scene..."
