The Sea Temple '''Samiya''' (Japanese: '''アクーシャ''' ''Akusha''), spelled '''Samaya''' on [[Pokémon TV]] and in [[Chuang Yi]]'s manga translation and referred to as '''Akusha''' in [[VIZ Media]]'s translation of the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (manga)|manga]], is an underwater palace built by the [[People of the Water]], and an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive location. It has a complex structure and holds the [[Sea Crown]] in its depths.

The People of the Water built the temple where the {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}} lived. All {{p|Manaphy}} have homing instincts that guide them to the temple's location even though it has a cloaking device. [[Shep]] and his family explained that the People of the Water designed traps, including the temple's cloaking ability, to keep people with evil intentions away from the precious Sea Crown. While it cannot be seen regularly, as it blends in with the water, Samiya will reveal itself under the red moonlight of a {{wp|lunar eclipse}}. In the past, whenever the temple reappeared, the People of the Water would gather together to celebrate their connections to the ocean and {{t|Water}} Pokémon. Samiya floats around with the ocean currents presently, but used to stay put.

During the events of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', the temple started to sink when [[The Phantom|Phantom]] pulled crystals out of the Sea Crown. Fortunately, it returned to normal after the crystals were placed back in the Sea Crown.

During the movie, it is located south of [[Cherrygrove City]]. However, because it moves with the current, it does not have a fixed location.
