Manaphy (Japanese: マナフィ Manaphy) is a Pokémon which was the star of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. It was voiced by 白鳥由里 Yuri Shiratori in Japanese and by Michele Knotz in English.
Ash and company met up with a Pokémon Ranger, Jack Walker, who was on the mission to protect the egg of Manaphy.
When Manaphy finally hatched, the first thing it saw was May and thus it thought of her as its mother. Manaphy and May soon developed a very close bond even to the point that May treated it as her own child and Manaphy began learning words like "love" and "you", but their bond was affecting Manaphy's goal to find Samiya, so she tried to stay away from Manaphy but they eventually came back to one another and shared a tearful hug.
But sadly, it still had to return to Samiya. So after a tearful goodbye, Manaphy left but not before Manaphy shared one more hug with May and said "Love you Mama, Love you May".
