The Phantom
The Phantom is a villainous movie character used in Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. He is a blue-haired and bearded pirate who has a big group of grunts.
He originally had the Manaphy egg in his possesion for only a few minutes. Jack Walker stole it back and headed to the deck of the ship. Phantom released his two Pokemon, Parasect and Pinsir, on Jackie. The Pokemon Ranger got away on a Mantine.
James later called the Phantom to let him know where the Manaphy egg was. This led to the Marina Group, along with Ash, May, Max, and Brock, being attacked by the Phantom and their trailer got pulled away.
When the group got to the ruins left by the People of the Water, he followed. This revealed that Phantom had much knowledge of the People of the Water.
He was even later seen tracking down the group's boat in desperate atempt to get Manaphy for his own. He apparently wanted the Sea Crown very badly. When Lizabeth, Ash, May, Max, and Brock entered the the Sea Temple, he followed.
Once he got to the Sea Crown, he started taking the jewels off it one by one, causing the Sea Temple to sink. Jack Walker came and put most of the jewels back in place. After a frantic fight over one jewel both of them fell off a ledge.
A while after that, he got out of the sinking temple on a water rocket. After the temple was saved, he came up and stole Manaphy one last time. However, Ash grabbed it back and Phantom was flung into the water.
Phantom also has a Chatot, this would be the first ever appearance of a Chatot. He also has a way of saying that there are two types of people in the world, most of these sayings in a way say, one type has self-control, and one doesn't.
