Synopsis

Hundreds of years ago, there was a large battle between Pokémon parties: Red and Green. In the present, in a small town named Rota, a yearly celebration is held commemorating this great battle. Ash, May, and Brock happen to come to this town during this time, and participate in a battle to decide who will be the "Hero of the Year." Ash and Pikachu win, but Mew snatches Pikachu and takes him to a mysterious forest, reminiscent of that in Pokémon 4Ever. What the importance of this forest is, and how Lucario ties into all this, has yet to be explained, but more details will be revealed soon.

Full Synopsis [SPOILERS] below:

Myuu to Hadou no Yuusha: Rukario! (Mew and the Wave-Guiding Hero, Rukario)

Synopsis by Xeno Lugia (Altomare Latios)

~History of Pokemon~ In the world as is known, it's covered with over 350 different types of Pokemon, all branching down to one origin: Myuu. People have learned to bond with Pokemon and train them to develop their abilities further, these are called "trainers". One particular trainer, Satoshi, has traveled four regions and is now working towards winning the Battle Frontier. Along with his friends Takeshi, Haruka, and Masato, Satoshi has had many adventures, to which the next one he will have will be a far away place.

~A long time ago, in a land far away~ Fog decends over the land of Orudoran, as Rukario jumps from boulder to boulder to a spot overseeing a wide expansive valley. Nobody is there yet, but he senses something, as Houou flies overhead. He closes his eyes, seeing the world's Wave Energy shaping the landscape. He's able to let his sight travel about, going over more rocks and hills until he sees a large formation of a gigantic Pokemon army mixed with human foot soldiers charging towards the middle of the valley, an army wearing green armor. He looks to the other side of the valley, doing the same, and seeing an equally gigantic army, with equally powerful, but different, Pokemon charging to the same destination, the army wearing red armor. After seeing these two, Rukario walks up to a crystal formation on the ground, touching it. He speaks through the crystal to Aaron who is at Orudoran Castle. Aaron stands upon a balcony with Riin that overlooks the entire land, and he hears Rukario's voice coming from another crystal formation on the balcony. It seems there's little choice but to resort to one last action to bring peace to the two warring sides. Aaron hops a ride on his Pijiotto to the valley. At this rate, the war could endanger the sacred Tree of the World's Beginning.

While Rukario is waiting, three Herugaa from the red army find the unsuspecting Pokemon and attack him. Rukario evades them and runs off, the three canines following. After cornering Rukario, he's left no choice but to fight back. He dodges one lunging Herugaa, throwing an Wave Energy orb at it, easily taking it down. He handles the other two pursuers with ease.

But it also seems that Aaron isn't going to have an easy time getting to Rukario. Eeamudo from green army go after Aaron and his Pijiotto. Fortunately for him, the steel birds only manage a few attacks before Aaron swoops down to find Rukario. Aaron tells Rukario that he must go to the Tree of the World's Beginning to save the planet from the ravages of war. Rukario, being loyal to Aaron, wants to come as well, but Aaron throws his scepter, turning Rukario into energy and drawing him into the jewel at the top. Rukario can see from the jewel Aaron going off, leaving Rukario there. Just as Aaron leaves, the two armies meet in the middle of the valley and begin their battle. Houou returns to the Tree of the World's Beginning, revealing itself to be Mew.

From the balcony can see the tree suddenly start to glow green, and soon every crystal formation throughout the land emits a beam of green light. As the light spreads further out, the armies stop their battle, in awe of the event that's happening. The light made them realize what they would do would ultimately prove disasterous, the two armies declare a truce, walking away to never battle each other again. But nobody knows what happened to Aaron, but the scepter that supposedly contains Rukario was found.

And with that, a mother reads on about the story to her daughter. A mere fairy tale it seems in a town that in the present next to the same exact Orudoran Castle.

The scene shows what's inside the jewel of Aaron's scepter, as if looking through things in Rukario's eyes. Images of technological advancements showing that time swiftly passes by show. After displaying the "Gekijyouban Poketto Monsutaa Adobansu Jenaareshon" logo, the scene zooms out to show a galaxy before spinng around faster, turning into the "Myuu to Hadou no Yuusha: Rukario" title.

Satoshi and company walk along a bridge to Orudoran Castle, they're dressed in their regular clothes while the others are in renaissance outfits. Meanwhile, a Subame overhead lands on a window of the Castle, turning into a Pichu. In another room, Satoshi and company find a costume closet and decide to dress more appropriately. Satoshi wants a hero outfit and begins looking for one with the others find what they want. While they look for a costume, Pikachu notices a Pichu who hides behind the window curtains. It transforms into a Kiromir and it walks out through the window before anyone can notice. Haruka pops out first in a pink dress with a small pair of Agehannto wings on the back. She askes Pikachu what it thinks, Pikachu happily giving approval. Takeshi comes out wearing a clerical outfit while Masato in a bard outfit. Satoshi lastly shows up in a hero's outfit, completely with a cape and a hat. They all look at Pikachu with sly grins, and soon dress it up in a cute jester-like clothes. They hurry onto the upcoming tournament that's about to happen. Just as they go out, Musashi, Kojirou, and Nyaasu find their way into the closet, and Musashi finds a outfit really fast.

Before the tournament begins, the queen of the castle, Airiin, along with her maid Jenii and her Pokemon Manene, steps out to the royal box seat to officially begin the tournament. The first match is Satoshi against a trainer with a Kinogassa. He uses Pikachu. The battle ends rather quickly as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, taking the chance while its opponent is stunned to tackle it, finishing it off with Iron Tail. During the tournament, the Kimori finds its way to the royal box seat and changes into a Manene. Then at another point, Jenii sees the two Manene, one of them turning into Aipomu. Other battles pursue after that until things whittle away to the finals: Satoshi versus a trainer covered in a full knight armor. Satoshi uses Pikachu once more in the match, the trainer sends out a Manyuura. At first the Manyuura throws a Shadow Ball towards Pikachu, which it stops it by using Thunderbolt. Pikachu continues on to shocking Manyuura until the whole battleground goes up in smoke, Pikachu being the victor.

At the end of the match, the Aipomu goes off to Pikachu in the battlefield, celebrating its victory. Satoshi goes up to the trainer to thank for a great battle. The trainer takes off the helmet and to Satoshi's surprise, as well as Haruka, the trainer is actually a girl! She introduces herself as Kiddo. Haruka notices Takeshi and Masato are missing, only to find them down there, where Takeshi tries to flirt with Kiddo, but Masato pulls on his ear to drag him away. At the moment, Airiin announces that there will be a ball and banquent in honor of the "Wave Guiding Hero".

Satoshi is presented to sit in a throne overlook the ballroom. Airiin presents Satoshi with Aaron's scepter, a sort of symbol of the Wave Guiding Hero. As the scepter is being presented, Musashi and Kojirou sneak around in the crowd. Satoshi takes a look at the Jewel at the end, and sudden he hears a voice crying "Why?". Satoshi is a bit confused, he asked if someone else heard it, but nobody did. Shrugging it off, the ball soon goes underway. Haruka finds herself dancing with one of the guests, Furedii. In the corner, Takeshi nervously asks Kiddo to dance, she accepts to it, but Takeshi still finds his nervousness uncontrolable. Masato is at the table where the food is, helping himself to some of the delicious food. Aipomu and Pikachu also dance about in the corner. Seeing his Pikachu dancing, Satoshi decides to release his other Pokemon to enjoy themselves to the party, Haruka also does the same.

With the new company, Aipomu takes the Pokemon posse about through the castle. Nyaasu, who's helping himself to some food underneath the table, hears them and decides to follow them. Just as he gets close to a door the Pokemon group goes through, Juputoru slams it shut behind him, sending Nyaasu to a nearby fireplace pit. Aipomu takes the Pokemon too the attic.

Up on the attic, Aipomu shows the Pokemon around to a few toys and plays around with them. Zenigame and Heigani look at the upper level of the acttic to find a wooden train set. They stroll down to the first floor, taking Juputoru and Pikachu with them, going around until they hit a shelf full of bouncing rubber balls. The Pokemon find amusement with that as they bounce around on top and roll them about. After a bit, Aipomu transforms into Pikachu and begins dancing with Satoshi's Pikachu.

Kiddo pauses from dancing with Takeshi, asking if he could get a drink. Takeshi goes off to get one immediately, and when he's gone, Kiddo slips away into the same direction the Pokemon went off to. She quickly slips out of her costume, sporting a pink-purplish wetsuit like outfit. She makes her way outside from the window, Nyaasu noticing and follows. She climbs up to the rooftop before shooting a grappling rod to a tower across the castle grounds. Getting a good grip, she jumps off from one roof to the next. Nyaasu only goes so far, before he slips down the sloped rooftop. His tail grabs a hold of a decorative steeple rod, but finds himself swinging down, crashing into a window on the lower floor.

Satoshi sits upon the throne looking a bit bored. For a while he looks at a huge tapestry of Aaron on the wall next to him, then he looks back down at the ballroom. Satoshi asks if he could get some food but Jenii keeps him down on the throne, telling him to act like a hero. Musashi and Kojirou are trying to blend in by dancing about, but soon they switch partners with Haruka and Furedii. Musashi finds Furedii cute and dances widly (but still in the same fashion as everyone else) with him in excitement. Kojirou on the other hand is trying to keep his face away from looking at Haruka directly. Masato notices the Pokemon are missing, until Gonbe comes back to nab a plate of fruit and goes back upstairs with it. Masato follows Gonbe to the top.

Kiddo manages to get to a good vantage point on the roof where she can see through the broken glass Nyaasu made. She see's Myuu, putting on a pair of special glasses and begins reporting information. It's relayed from a humvee parked someways away from the Castle, all the way to a satelite orbiting space down to a tall building in the middle of a city. It seems that Kiddo is connected to a large organization and they seem to want some information about Myuu and the Tree of the World's Beginning.

In the attic, the other Pikachu transforms into Mew, looking at Nyaasu to see if he's alright. Taking this chance, Kiddo sends out two Manyuura, one carrying some sort of device. Both of them jump into the broken window and begin a swift attack at Myuu. Myuu dodges their assaults easily. In attempt to stop Myuu, both of them use Blizzard just as Myuu flies towards the door. At the same moment, Gonbe comes into the room and finds itself frozen in a block of ice. The door also freezes at its hinges and cracks. Just when Masato gets there, he finds the door hard to open. Myuu is soon held down though, and just when one of the Manyuura is about to attach the device on Myuu, Pikachu fries the cat with a Thunderbolt. Myuu escapes to Pikachu, but the Manyuura try another Blizzard attack. Both Myuu and Pikachu dodge, the attack hitting the other Pokemon, freezing them. Myuu then flies over towards Nyaasu who's at a corner, and transforms into a Nyaasu. Mew switches itself and Nyaasu around to confuse the Manyuura, but they laugh, both soon throwing a Shadowball at them. Pikachu intervenes by throwing a Thunder at the two balls, ending up in an explosion.

Kiddo notices this and figures that the plan didn't go so well as expected. The explosion though knocked Pikachu out, leaving both Myuu and Nyaasu on their own. Myuu transforms back to its original self. Masato finally gets the door open, but only a crack as he watches what goes on. He sees Myuu, not believing it at first. But soon Myuu teleports before the Manyuura can do anything else. The three teleport to one of the tower's steeples, Nyaasu slipping before Myuu transforms into a Pijiotto and flies off, towards the Tree of the World's Beginning. Kiddo sighs at the slight setback.

Back at the ball, Takeshi walks to where Kiddo was with two drinks, but sees that she's not there. Haruka is wondering why her dancing partner Kojirou isn't looking at her. But it seemed he was saved from blowing his cover when Airiin announced the next step in the ceromony. Jenii tells Satoshi to stand up and do the hero's pose. Satoshi's confused but Jenii points to the painting of Aaron, holding the scepter up above his head. Satoshi stands up and copies the pose. A certain point in the jewel allows Rukario to see, once again Satoshi hears a voice crying out "Why?". Again the voice speaks, and soon the jewel glows, releasing Rukario at the other end of the front of the ballroom. Rukario apparently is still seeing things in the form of wave energy, mistaking Satoshi's form with Aaron's, who looks strikingly the same. Rukario walks up to Satoshi, kneeling down, that is until Satoshi spoke that he was the wrong guy. Rukario, surprised, opened up his eyes to see that it was not Aaron, but Satoshi he was standing in front of. Rukario becomes confused at what is going on, seeing the many people and a Aaron impersonator. But it was the same castle, and he had to make sure. Rukario soon escapes through the crowd of people, running around through the castle. He see's that it has changed, and memories of him and Aaron soon start replaying in his mind as he walks about.

Rukario stops at a display room, which he remembers it to be a bedroom. Satoshi, Haruka, Takeshi, Airiin and Jenii confront Rukario in the room. Airiin says to Rukario that she is the decendant of Riin, the queen who was reigning at the castle during his time. Rukario thinks about this for a moment, seeing the resemblance. Airiin walks up to Rukario and gives him a reassuring hug.

At the Tree of the World's Beginning, Myuu looks after Pikachu, who's resting in a bed of leaves. Nyaasu seems to understand what Myuu is up to, seeing a large pile of toys that it's gathered.

They retire to the throne room for now. Satoshi wonders what other person Rukario could mistaken him for, Airiin explains to Satoshi and company the story of Aaron and Rukario. Possibly because Satoshi looks exactly like Aaron in Rukario's special vision. Rukario mentions also that Satoshi has a similar wave pattern as Aaron had. Musashi and Kojirou overhear from a balcony above, Musashi wanting to capture Rukario. Just then, Masato runs into the room, exclaiming he just saw Myuu getting attack, and it took Pikachu and Nyaasu somewhere. Musashi and Kojirou also just realize Nyaasu is missing. Although at first everyone doesn't believe him, Kiddo comes out of the same door, confirming what Masato saw. She also says that she saw Myuu transform into a Pijiotto and took them away to the Tree of the World's Beginning. Satoshi asks what that is, so Airiin takes them out to the balcony overlooking the land. In the middle of the horizon stood a large tree. Airiin explains that the tree possess healing powers beyond imagination. With Myuu, it could revive the earth and sooth angry hearts, although it requires Myuu, the origin of Pokemon. Satoshi decides the only way to get Pikachu back is the go over there himself. Rukario also wants to go, not only does he know the area, he wants to know what happened to Aaron.

At that Kiddo comes out in her outfit, saying that she wants to go too. Takeshi knows exactly who Kiddo is now. He takes out his book of women he likes and then he shows them, Kiddo Samaazu. She's been on a lot of major adventure fronts, including deep sea diving in a sub and space travel. Takeshi goes crazy about how much he wanted to meet her and how it was an honor (Manene behind him mimics his actions). Kiddo says that she's here for the adventure, and she has a humvee that'll get them there in no time.

That night Rukario enters the unlit ball room, seeing the two huge tapestries of Aaron. One with him doing the hero's pose, the other with him riding upon his Pijiotto. He senses something and jumps back, hanging upon the wall above the open door for a second before he jumps down upon Satoshi who entered. Satoshi fights him off, wondering what's with him. Rukario just feels a bit edgy, upset with the fact that his master Aaron had left him without any reason why.

The next day, Kiddo takes Satoshi and company towards the Tree of the World's beginning, Rukario running up ahead. Airiin and Jenii stay behind at Orudoran Castle. Musashi and Kojirou hitch a ride in the trunk.

Pikachu wakes up from a falling leaf, seeing that it's with Myuu and Nyaasu. Myuu is excited that Pikachu is awake and well, playing around with it for a moment. Nyaasu tries to relax against a part of the tree, but falls into a hole concealed to be a branch stump. Pikachu goes up to where the hole seemed to be, Myuu just simply pokes its head in. Pikachu pokes its head in as well, seeing a long vertical tunnel with green bubbles coming up. Myuu hops onto a bubble, followed by Pikachu. They ride the bubbles for a bit, Myuu bumping into Pikachu to make its bubble bounce all over the tunnel. Pikachu falls off but soon grasps on to another one. Both Myuu and Pikachu bump into Nyaasu, making him bounce around. At another branch stump up higher, the three Pokemon come out. They walk up to the edge of the land, seeing the landscape below them.

The crew takes a break for lunch. Rukario finds some berries while he sits upon a boulder. The gang sit is about to eat lunch, Takeshi passing out the plates to everyone one by one. He gets three passed out but when he reaches for the fourth one (for Kiddo), a Usohachi takes it before he could get to it. Takeshi's confused for a second before he finds Usohachi below eating away at Kiddo's lunch. Takeshi scolds the Pokemon for eating Kiddo's lunch, but this only makes it cry. Haruka and Masato think Takeshi was too harsh, but the Usohachi runs away with the food. Rukario picks up the plate, offering Usohachi a berry instead. The Usohachi runs off behind a rock, peaking behind it once in a while.

They continue to travel down to the Tree of the World's Beginning, but they stop once more. This time, the road is littered with gysers that are erupting and for a while. Haruka notices something off to the side, a hot spring! They decide to stop until the eruptions subside and take a dip. Satoshi, Takeshi, Masato, and their Pokemon, except Phanpy, take a swim in the hot spring. When Haruka comes out of the humvee from dressing, Usohachi drops upon her head from the roof. It looks like the little guy took a ride with them, so Haruka decides to take it along. She tries to take Usohachi into the water, but the small Pokemon jumps out and hides behind Phanpy, Masato commenting because its a Rock type. Rukario sits upon a rock, remember the time when Aaron took him here. Aaron decided to wade after traveling about. He told Rukario to put his feet in the water since it feels good. Rukario was a bit reluctant but he did so, smiling at how relaxing it was. The memory was interrupted when Satoshi told Rukario to jump in, but Rukario simply walks off, Satoshi a bit annoyed by his cold attitude. Haruka notices a strange looking plant upon rocks, Satoshi says that he'll get it. Takeshi and Kiddo watch as Satoshi climbs up the small cliff. As soon as he grabs it though, he slips and falls off. Haruka catches the plant, which looks like a crystalized pod, while Satoshi plunges into the water. Seeing how it's possibly a fruit, they decided to plant it. But just before they do, the pod suddenly blooms and the area becomes somewhat holographic as they see a replay of Satoshi falling off the cliff as he was getting the plant. Kiddo knows what it is, a Time Flower. She explains that it records events in time in the area it was planted and then it can replay the scene at a later time when activated.

Night falls as they travel, and they stop. They're rather close to the Tree, but it's best if they rest for now. Satoshi says that tomorrow he'll get Pikachu back. Rukario's a bit confused at why Satoshi would go this far to get Pikachu back. Perhaps if he's connected to Aaron somehow, he should just leave Pikachu like Aaron did to him. Satoshi gets angry at him suggesting that and he tackles Rukario down, rolling down a ledge to a pond. The two thrash about in the pond, the others coming to try and stop the two from frighting. Rukario finally throws Satoshi out to the shore, jumping off to the top of the lege. He storms off thinking that people are just cruel. It appears that Rukario is very upset with Aaron. Satoshi felt that he might've gone too far seeing Rukario walk away. Rukario finds a tree to lean upon, recalling another memory.

Aaron was demonstrating the ability to see Wave Energies, the "Hadou", even while his eyes were covered. He dodged several logs as they swung back and forth towards him with ease. Rukario was learning this ability, and it would be his turn to do it. Rukario was nervous as he began dodging the logs, few missing by a hairpin, but he managed to pass the test. Just then, Masato comes up and shows Rukario a bar of chocolate. He explains that it's a sweet snack and it's really good, breaking off a piece to give to Rukario. Rukario sniffs it and is a bit hesistant, but he sees Masato eat and enjoy it. Rukario puts the bit into his mouth, enjoying it with a smile. However when Masato catches that, Rukario tries to put on a stern face.

Later that night, Myuu and Pikachu play about while Nyaasu sleeps. Myuu finds a few toys, taking out a party blower in the shape of a Tsubotsubo and blows into it a couple of times, dropping it near Pikachu. Then it goes back to find a Kapoera yo-yo and plays around with it. Pikachu smiles a bit, but it can't still help the feeling of being seperated from Satoshi.

Satoshi wakes up from his sleep, thinking he heard Pikachu's voice. He gets out of the humvee the crew was sleeping in, noticing Rukario on a rock. Satoshi tries to help Rukario look on the bright side of things, telling the time when he first got Pikachu, standing in front of the Spearow as they came down to protect Pikachu. Satoshi tells Rukario that he and Pikachu are friends, as Rukario tells Satoshi that Aaron is his master. Rukario doesn't quite understand the concept of being along side a human to be friends after all this time of being a servant of Aaron.

The next day, they travel down the path, soon coming up to a stop. Rukario stands looking up at a cliff, the others wondering what's going on. Rukario tells them this was the spot that Aaron sealed Rukario in his scepter. He remembers it quite well, but Rukario kicks a Time Flower gently by accident and soon it replays the scene it has recorded. It's the same exact scene, when Rukario meets up with Aaron, which he throws his scepter down and seals Rukario in the jewel. Then they watch Aaron fly off to the Tree of the World's Beginning. Suddenly from the two pathways on the road, the green army charges through the small pathway. Rukario appears horrified and begins throwing Wave Energy spheres at them, barely missing Satoshi. Satoshi tells Rukario to stop because they're only illusions. Rukario does stop, shocked to have seen that event happen. Satoshi comes up to Rukario, apologizing for being pushy when he hadn't realized how this affected Rukario. Rukario though gets up and smiles, perhaps Satoshi is right, that Aaron did that for his own good.

As they walk back to the humvee, Rukario senses something. At the last second, he pushes himself and Satoshi out of the way just as Rejirokku digs its way from the ground. It sounds mechanical, and begins using Hyper Beam upon the "intruders". Musashi and Korjirou manage to escape the humvee before it becomes a victim to Rejirokku's assault. Rukario intervenes at the second Hyper Beam it fires, throwing an Energy sphere at the beam, exploding in the middle. Using this, Kiddo finds a crevice to hide in. As they go, Rukario covers them and keeps Rejirokku occupied before escaping into the crevice. Along the way Rukario tells them to make a turn at a tunnel. They follow the tunnel, it seems like they lost Rejirokku. At the end of the tunnel, they come to a large cave of ancient Pokemon. Amongst a vast lake and field, lit by a giant crystal on the ceiling, are Omanaito, Omusutaa, Yanyanma, Arumarudo, Chiritarisu, and Nidoran. It appears they made it into the tree, but now the only way to get to Pikachu is by going up. Satoshi goes on ahead to another tunnel, followed by Rukario. Kiddo takes out her specs, relaying info back to the company. Her boss tells here that the tree is designed with many tunnels that make a network like blood vessels. Energy can also be monitored. Kiddo deploys out small helicopter gadgets to gather information about the Tree, then she follows Satoshi.

The probes that Kiddo deployed attempted to take samples of the crystal that grew there. However, a red blob engulfs and eats them. Kiddo gets a warning that the probes were rapidly being destroyed, and that a sort of defense system in the Tree has been activated.

At the end of the next tunnel, Satoshi finds himself upon one of the "leafs" of the Tree. Satoshi runs up ahead once more, climbing up the leaf. He called out to Pikachu, who a few leaves up higher (which is a long way up), Pikachu hears Satoshi and calls back, Satoshi and Pikachu know that they're nearby. As things seemed to turn for the better, Reijiaisu stands in front of Satoshi's path and begins firing a barrage of Ice Beams. Rukario jumps into stun the Reji while Satoshi gets away. He gets to the tunnel, telling the others they must find another way because Rejiaisu is up ahead. Rukario throws one Wave Energy sphere at it to stun it long enough to get away. They find another tunnel along the tunnel, finding themselves at the cliff of a large hollow cave, being a good ways above the ground. Blue crystal pillars stick out from wall to wall. Deciding where to go, Musashi and Kojirou find themselves in the same place, at a different entrance. They jump down to Satoshi and company, landing with a crash. Apparently Rejirokku and Rejisuchiiru found them. Rukario pointed a way, across one of the blue pillars that ran like a bridge to another exit higher up. Musashi and Kojirou were the first two to run up, then the rest followed as Rukario covered their escape. Along the way, they ran into a narrow stone bridge, taking their time crossing it until the end. Musashi and Kojiro ran up way ahead. Rukario at the end of the line finds the Reji's hot on their tail. He sends a Wave Energy Sphere to the bridge, destroying before the Reji's have a chance to cross it.

As Musashi and Kojiro run up ahead, a red blob comes from the other side of the tunnel after them. It turns into a Yureidoru shape and swallows up Musashi. Kojirou tries to save her by sending out Sabonea, using Pin Missile. The attack doesn't do a thing and Musashi is eventually swallowed up. Another comes after Kojiro, sending out Chiriin, but it's too late for his Pokemon to do anything. Satoshi and company arrive only to see the event, wondering what's going on with this place. One more, in the shape of a Putera comes after them, but Rukario destorys it with his Energy sphere. Soon the red blob figures come from behind. The other's try to find another way to get past them. One of them makes it through and almost catches Kiddo, that is until Rukario gets in the way. It takes Rukario, but soon explodes off. Apparently the thing doesn't eat Pokemon. Just when things also couldn't get any worse, the two Rejis are once again behind their tails. As they run, they find a room with two tunnels. The group decides to split up so that at least one group will be safe from the Reji's, and they'll meet up later. Satoshi and Rukario go in one group and lure the Reji's away, while Takeshi, Haruka, Masato, and Kiddo make the other group. The four take off in one path while Rukario and Satoshi take the other. Satoshi stays behind though so that he can get the Reji's attention once they've come.

While the four travel through the Tree, the red blob strikes once more. This it takes Takeshi. But not wanting his Pokemon to go down with him, he releases them at the last moment. Haruka and Masato also gets caught, Haruka releasing her Pokemon as well. Kiddo on the other hand is dodge two of them, managing to escape the blobs.

Rukario and Satoshi managed to lose the Reji's but they come up to a huge crevice with the crystal pillars coming out from side to side. Not only is it a long way down, but there's a very strong wind. On the other side, Pikachu, Myuu, and Nyaasu come out from aonther tunnel. Satoshi, happy to see Pikachu, walks out on the pillars while Pikachu does the same. Pikachu has no problem hopping from pillar to pillar in the wind, but Satoshi occasionally slips, flying for a bit before grabbing a hold of one of the pillars. His hat also flies away, but Mew manages to catch it. He continues on, going low when the wind gets too strong. Both him and Pikachu meet in the middle, where they jump to meet. But they jump a little too short and fall down. In the nick of time, Kiddo uses her grappling hook to swing across and grab Satoshi and Pikachu, heading to the tunnel where Rukario waits. Pikachu wonders who the new Pokemon is, Satoshi introduces Rukario to his friend and Pokemon, Pikachu. It seems Rukario is beginning to understand the more deeper relationship that could be possible. Myuu joins in, along with Nyaasu, Myuu giving Satoshi his hat back. Now to get out.

While going through the tunnels, they come up across the red blobs once more. They find a branch off to another tunnel and go through it in hope to lose them, but they continue right behind them. The group comes to a room with large crystal formations. Rukario goes on ahead, but is ambushed by Rejisuchiiru and Rejirokku. Rejisuchiiru grabs him and stuns him, giving the red blobs a chance getting Kiddo and Satoshi. As both get "eaten", they release their Pokemon. Rukario kicks himself off Rejisuchiiru to try and save them, but it's too late as Satoshi's Pokemon try a last hope approach to pull him away. But it's too late, he's gone as the blob slips into the ground. Satoshi's Pokemon saddened by their loss begin to cry. Rukario watches this, appearing hurt by the loss as well.

Myuu though goes up, touching a crystal. It begins to glow green, as well as every crystal in the area. It appears as Myuu is performing the healing spell the Tree is capable of. Soon the blobs, now green, form up into mounds and disolve away, leaving their victims behind alive and well just where they had taken them. As Satoshi is also released from the blob, his Pokemon celebrate with joy. The Reji's walk off, not seeing them as a threat anymore. Kiddo is happy that things are well too, that is until she notices that one of the crystals flash a red color and tells the others something isn't quite right. Suddenly all of the crystals become red in color, and Myuu appears weakened. Kiddo picks Myuu up, finding out that Myuu is hot to the touch. Kiddo's boss says that the whole tree has gone unstable. If it gets completely destroyed, it could mean certain disaster for the world. The crystals also begin to blacken and crumble, the place is collasping, and fast! With no time to lose, Myuu helps them find the core room where they could use Myuu to restore the Tree. The problem is that they do not know how to restore the Tree, and Myuu is very weak to do anything. Rukario looks to the side and notices that there's a crystal formation, inside of it though is Aaron!

Rukario doesn't understand why Aaron is here, sealed up in the crystal, but his gloves are left on another formation nearby. Satoshi finds a Time Flower next to the core and runs up to it to activate it. When the pod opens up, it displays the scene as Aaron comes in. Houou also comes in, revealing itself to be Myuu. They watch as Aaron begins delivering his energy, the "Hadou", to Myuu, the only energy that would suffice. Myuu stores the power and once enough has been stored, goes to the core to begin the restoration. But at the end, the see Aaron tumble and fall in pain, looking quite different, and the scene ends. They now know what to do... but it would cost the person their life. Rukario, seeing how he can utilize the Wave Energy that Aaron can, declares he'd be the one to do it. Rucario goes up to Myuu and begins transfering energy, but is soon pulled back. He realizes he's not strong enough yet to deliver the energy needed! Satoshi remembers that Rukario mentioned he had the same wave pattern as Aaron, and can control Hadou as well. He puts on Aaron's gloves, which help channel the energy. Kiddo questions Satoshi's actions, but Satoshi says that saving the world is more importan than his life. Both Rukario and Satoshi begin channeling energy into Myuu. It begins to work as Myuu stores up the energy both are putting into it. As time passes and they channel more energy, it begins to strain them. But just at the end, Rukario shoves Satoshi out of the way. Rukario channeled the rest of the energy into Myuu, protecting Satoshi from facing the certain death that would follow. Once the energy channeling was complete, Myuu swiftly moved to the energy core of the Tree, the stored energy releasing a green light like the same light from the years ago. The crystals turn green and emit bright beams of light across the land, saving the Tree and ultimately the world.

After Myuu completed the healing process, Kiddo confers with her boss if the Tree is stable, and everything is normal. But Rukario stumbles down, exhausted from what he's done, in the same condition as Aaron as he collasped. Rukario's hand bumped into a Time Flower, activating it. This time it was Aaron as he sat there, saying his last words. He thanked Rukario for being his servant and always being loyal. He did seal up Rukario, to protect his friend, not his servant, from the impending danger. He wasn't a servant to his master, he was a friend. Rukario smiled at that, understanding now. But his time was running out fast, and before it would run out, he thanked Satoshi for showing him the same friendship Aaron provided. Rukario soon dissapeared, along with Aaron's crystalized form, two spirits floating up to the sky. Kiddo and Satoshi step outside to see that things well, and reflect upon how valueable a friendship really is, especially between a Pokemon and a human.

Satoshi and company take a cable car down. Along the way they see Kiddo packing up her humvee and leaving. Back in the cable care, Takeshi bawls over his "loss" of seeing Kiddo leave. The tapestry in the castle showing Aaron holding up his scepter changed, it now shows Rukario standing beside him. Kiddo explores Founce, right behind her is Batora and Dian tending to a farm. Satoshi and company take a visit to another city (which looks surprisingly like Alto Mare), above in their balloon is Musashi, Kojirou, and Nyaasu trying one of their attempts to get Pikachu, but end up in a mess as Nyaasu slips from the balloon.

Nearby Oradoru Castle, Aaron and Rukario walk down a road. Aaron however has some chocolate and shares it with Rukario.
