Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, originally released in Japan as Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation the Movie: Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy (劇場版ポケットモンスターアドバンスジェネレーション ポケモンレンジャーと蒼海の王子 マナフィ Gekijōban Poketto Monsutā Adobansu Jenerēshon Pokemon Renjā to Umi no Ōji Manafi?), is a 2006 Japanese anime film directed by Kunihiko Yuyama as the fourth and final Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation film, and the ninth Pokémon film overall. As indicated by the title, elements from the Nintendo DS game Pokémon Ranger play a large part. The movie is released on July 16, 2006 in Japan. In North America, Cartoon Network aired the film on March 23, 2007.
The film was the first film released in North America to include a Pikachu short, which is Pikachu's Island Adventure, since Pokémon: Jirachi Wish Maker. This was the first film to be released since Pokémon USA's acquisition of US distribution from 4Kids Entertainment. It's the only Pokémon film to have its English adaptation produced entirely by TAJ Productions, and is the first to feature the new English voice cast. It was the first full-length Pokémon film to ever be released in its original aspect ratio on Region 1 DVD. With a feature running time of 1 hour and 45 minutes, it is currently the longest film in the Pokémon franchise made-to-date. The story continues with Ash, May, Max and Brock venturing through the Hoenn region. This is the last film to feature May and Max as main characters in the series. The movie's theme song is titled "A Thing to be Protected" (守るべきもの Mamoru-Beki Mono?) by Sowelu.
