"Yes." Lugia floated motionlessly in the air. "This is the palace of the Prince of the Sea."
"Manaphy? Sea Temple Akasha?"
Tetsuya cried out in surprise.
As everyone knew.
Aside from Lugia, the Sea God, and Kyogre, creator of the oceans.
Manaphy, known as the Prince of the Sea, was another divine beast of the vast seas.
It was born in the frigid depths of the ocean and possessed the miraculous power to connect hearts with any Pokemon.
More precisely.
Manaphy was actually a Mythical Pokemon, not a Legendary Pokemon.
There was a difference.
The latter included the former, but the former was not necessarily the latter.
Legendary Pokemon were not only exceedingly rare, but also possessed immense power.
Some were worshipped as legendary gods or divine messengers.
Some were considered creators or guardians of something in the world.
Some had even caused massive disasters in the past.
There were even types like Mewtwo, created by humans using other Legendary Pokemon as templates.

Manaphy, the Prince of the Sea, had little to do with any of that.
If he had to put it that way.
Manaphy was more like the ocean's mascot, responsible for easing the mood.
However.
If anyone wanted to harm that mascot, every Ocean Pokemon would come looking for trouble.
Including two Legendary Pokemon whose strength was beyond measure.
According to human records, a group known as the People of the Water served Manaphy.
They also possessed a Special Ability similar to Manaphy's, allowing them to connect hearts with Water-type Pokemon.
This was something many Trainers and Breeders specializing in Water-type Pokemon dreamed of having.
But unfortunately.
As time passed.
Like other groups such as the Draconid, the People of the Water had long vanished from public sight.
Only a very small number of people knew
