The Marina Group
The Marina Group is a troupe of traveling entertainers that appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. Shep helps plan the family's water shows, but does not perform in them. Kyle, his wife Meredith, and their daughter Lizabeth perform in the group's underwater Pokémon shows alongside their Water Pokémon.
The group are also direct descendants of the People of the Water, and continue to be custodians of the ancient culture. This led Pokémon Ranger Jack Walker to temporarily join the troupe and perform as a clown while he tried to safely transport a Manaphy Egg back to Samiya.
