* AnimationBump: Many of the scenes in the movie are animated with greater fluidity and detail than they are in the actual series, on account of having a larger budget.
* AxCrazy: The Phantom is a bit more restrained during the beginning, but his grip on sanity begins to slip a little bit as his attempts at stealing the Sea Crown are foiled. He even ''slaps Manaphy into the ground'' at one point.



* BookEnds:
** The film opens with Jackie Walker stealing the Manaphy egg onboard the Phantom's submarine. The film ends with Jackie arresting the Phantom over what remains of his ship, with Phantom buried in the wreckage.
** Our heroes are crossing a scorching wasteland before they run into Lizabeth's family, and are treated to their water show (even getting to participate in it). The film ends with everyone getting to participate in a "second" show of sorts, as [[spoiler:The Sea Crown gives them the power to swim through the ocean with great power and speed.]]



* CardCarryingVillain: The Phantom is a plundering pirate of the seas and proud of it, especially with his "ThereAreTwoKindsOfPeopleInThisWorld" speeches always putting himself as the powerful person in them.



* CurbStompBattle: Jackie manages to escape the Phantom's forces without breaking a sweat, and even their Pokémon don't get a chance to lay in a hit on him.



* LastOfHisKind: Lizabeth, one of the descendants of the "People of the Water."

to:

* JerkassHasAPoint: At one point, May overhears Jack talking to Ash and asking her to keep her away from Manaphy, not wanting the Pokémon to get too close to May out of fear it will want to stay with her and not fulfill its destiny. As harsh as Jack's words are, May solemnly accepts that he's right, even if she breaks down crying about it shortly after.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The Phantom spends the entire film trying to steal Manaphy for himself so he can plunder Samiya for the Sea Crown. [[spoiler:He loses his entire fleet, he and his men are arrested, and the source of his "strength" (alias his mech suit) is destroyed.]]
* LastOfHisKind: Lizabeth, one of the descendants of the "People of the Water." Water", and her family, are among the few left that hail from that lineage. It's discussed May and Max (which could also mean Norman and Caroline) might be as well, but it's never spoken.


Added DiffLines:

* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Team Rocket hijacks the Phantom's mini-sub to try and hightail it out of the sinking Samiya, but their new boss just throws open the hatch and they get washed away by the flood.


Added DiffLines:

* WouldHurtAChild: The Phantom does not care about Manaphy's feelings, and would happily kidnap it for his own ends if it means he would get to steal the Sea Crown.

* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Lizabeth, the youngest of her family and the most feminine, wears an outfit with a NavelWindow. Likewise, May, the only girl in Ash's group, wears a bikini during the swimming scene.



* BreakTheCutie: May gets put through the emotional wringer in this movie when she finds herself caring for an infant Manaphy, only to be given the harsh truth that she can't keep it and has to let it go to allow her child to fulfill its destiny. When Jack tells her this, she starts bawling with heartbreak at the prospect.



* ButNowIMustGo: Manaphy is forced to leave so it can fulfill its destiny as "The Prince of the Sea".
* CallBack:
** When Manaphy hatches and imprints itself onto May, Brock notes that when eggs hatch, most Pokémon imprint themselves onto whoever they see when they first hatch as their mother. Misty's Togepi did the same thing when it hatched.
** May's mother/son dynamic with Manaphy isn't all that dissimilar to Misty's and Togepi's, complete with both having to part.



* ContrivedCoincidence: Ash and his friends get lost in a wasteland and end up bumping into Lizabeth's family's traveling water show, where they happen to be practicing. By extra coincidence, Jack is there undercover to protect Manaphy's egg from The Phantom, and the group gets involved in the plot from there.



* MamaBear: Once she gains a "son" in the form of Manaphy, May is extremely protective of it, and helps to calm it down when it starts crying.



* NoodleIncident: The Phantom having possession of a People of the Water's bracelet. The group is shocked he even has one, though he only says he went through a lot of trouble to get it and doesn't reveal how he came by it.



* PromotedToParent: The crux of this film deals with May becoming a mother to Manaphy after she hatches its egg, with the group even referring to her as a Mom.
* RunningIntoTheWindow: Manaphy smacks itself on the glass of the boat's underside view port when it sees May, and starts crying until May calms it down.



* ShipTease: This movie tends to be a favorite of Advanceshippers (Ash/May) due to the sheer number of hints present.

* ShipTease: This movie tends to be a favorite of Advanceshippers (Ash/May) due to the sheer number of hints present. The most notable scene in this film is where the two swim with Manaphy, gazing at the sea life while looking on at each other.



* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The family Buizel is curious about Manaphy's egg and accidentally opens the hatch covering it, leading Team Rocket to call the Phantom and let him know about its location. From there, the Phantom unleashes his fury to get the egg back, and nearly sinks Samiya and almost gets Ash killed trying to repair the damage.



* VoicesAreMental: One of the indications that Manaphy had used its Heart Swap ability, as Team Rocket in delivering their motto has Jessie, James, and Meowth's voices all swapped around between the three. Later, when it uses it on Ash and Jack, Ash's voice comes out of Jack's body and vice-versa.
