i loved this book i read it again and again since 4th grade it never got boring to ME. pokemon was mostly one of my favorite shows back then when i was very little. i mostly loved all of the adventures in this book alot! it makes me feel like i'm actually there. it's filled with lots of interesting stuff. now some people now think that pokemon is getting stupid now. me too. i loved the old series not this new series of pokemon right now they're making. all of the adventures in here is just too interesting! in 4th grade i used to read it all the time it was my number one favorite book! i would love to read this book again like always! i just never get bored of it. for me manaphy gets really annoying i don't know how may can handle it. it's mostly based on the movie. yes i watched the movie that's how big of a fan i am to pokemon! pokemon is really awesome but just not the new series. the old series. well all i'm going to say is that if your a pokemon fan i think you will love this book like i did! this book never gets old. i really love reading this book i already read this like 15 times last year! that's how much i love it!

I read this book because I used to be really into pokemon.

this fits under the bingo board category of 'book made into a film'.

Ash Ketchum is lost, along with his friends Brock, may, and max. Brock was sure they were headed in the right direction, but now their PokeNav (a pokemon navigation system) can't even get a signal. There's no shade, and all their canteens are dry. But then, pikachu spoots something incredible. A bubble of water floating in midair!

The Marina Group, famous for their water-type pokemon shows are what pikacku saw,and they have set up camp and are happy to share water with the thirsty crew. But could this friendly family be hiding a secret? The answer will take Ash, May, Max, and brock froom a wooden ship in the dry desert to a pirate chase on the high seas in their most amazing adventure yet!

although some may say that I am a bit old for this type of book, I enjoyed every bit of it and even read it a second time. the reason that I liked it was because it was a griping and entertaining quick-read which had an exciting plot which captured me and made me unable to put this book down.
