'''Curious Tea Party''' (Japanese: '''謎解きティーパーティー''' ''Mystery Solving Tea Party'') was a [[costume event]] in {{g|Masters EX}}. It was focused on the [[sync pair]]s {{sync|Lillie|Polteageist|Special Costume}}, {{sync|Sonia|Tsareena|Special Costume}}, {{sync|Ingo|Accelgor|Special Costume}}, and {{sync|Emmet|Escavalier|Special Costume}}.

This event featured a main storyline—Curious Tea Party—which featured all four sync pairs, and sub-story areas—Party Prep stories—for each of the featured sync pairs.

Curious Tea Party was contained in a separate event menu from the Party Prep stories, consisting of several story areas. It also contained two Battle Challenges, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event {{mas|mission}}s by clearing these areas with teams using various [[theme skill]]s, earning {{mas|medal}}s and other rewards.

In the Party Prep stories, players could earn vouchers from battles that could be redeemed in the {{mas|shop}}. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battles, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The Party Prep stories also featured special riddle missions. Within an event story area, a character presented another character with a riddle, which the player would have to answer. The player could give their answer by completing a certain battle using sync pairs with specific theme skills. Answering the riddle correctly would unlock the storyline's final story area, in which the character gave the same answer.

==First run==
The event first ran from March 31 to May 4, 2022. The "Lillie Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Lillie (Special Costume) & Polteageist for the duration of the event. The "Sonia Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Sonia (Special Costume) & Tsareena starting on April 7, 2022, and lasting until the end of the event. The "Ingo Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Ingo (Special Costume) & Accelgor starting on April 14, 2022, and lasting until the end of the event. The "Emmet Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Emmet (Special Costume) & Escavalier starting on April 21, 2022, and lasting until the end of the event.

During this run, there were four different Party Prep stories available: '''[[Lillie's Party Prep—An Eye for Beauty]]''', '''[[Sonia's Party Prep—The Finest Tea]]''', '''[[Ingo's Party Prep—Way of the Butler]]''', and '''[[Emmet's Party Prep—Heart and Soul]]'''. Each Party Prep story could be unlocked using a Story Key, which could be obtained by completing story areas in Curious Tea Party. Two of the Curious Tea Party story areas were available at the start of the event, and a new story area was added each week until all five story areas had been added. The Party Prep stories could be unlocked in any order. Extra Story Keys were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The Battle Challenge areas were also added over the course of the event. The first two areas, Cress's Battle Challenge! Round 1 and Cress's Battle Challenge! Round 2, became available on April 7, 2022. The second two areas, Cilan's Battle Challenge! Round 1 and Cilan's Battle Challenge! Round 2, became available on April 21, 2022.

==Second run==
The event reran from April 22 to May 8, 2023. The "Super Spotlight Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Lillie (Special Costume) & Polteageist, Sonia (Special Costume) & Tsareena, Ingo (Special Costume) & Accelgor, and Emmet (Special Costume) & Escavalier for the duration of the event.

During this run, all the Party Prep stories were combined into one event menu, called '''[[Solving Wonderful Mysteries]]'''. Story Keys were no longer needed to unlock them, and as such were no longer available from completing story areas in Curious Tea Party. All story areas in Curious Tea Party were available from the start, and thus the whole main storyline could be played through without interruption. In addition, the Battle Challenge areas were available from the start.

==Plot==
The player meets up with Lillie with her tea party dress on in town. She notices them, says she heard from Trista, and happily tells them that she got up early so she would dress for the tea party and have time to spare in case she was lost but then disappointedly remarks that she might still be late. If the player chooses to say, "That's a Great Outfit", Lillie will thank them, or if they say, "Did it take a while to get ready?", she will say yes and how she worked hard on her look. She tells the player that had been looking forward to attending the tea party and matching her Polteageist, until she realizes that they have to hurry to the tea party and they arrive together.

It looks like I might be running late anyway... Things just aren’t going as planned.'' '''That's a great outfit.''': ''Thank you!'' '''Did it take a while to get ready?''': ''Yes. I really worked hard on my look for today! I’ve been looking forward to attending the tea party dressed up the same as Polteageist! Oh! But this is no time to stand around chatting!

And besides, I’m sure I’ll be fine because I’ve got you with me, right, <player>?'' '''You can count on me!''': ''I’m glad to hear it! I’ll be giving it my all as well so we can reach our goal!''

And then Chili pours the water after heating it to just the perfect temperature. We believe that the tea we make this way is the best in all of Unova... No, in the whole world!''
|-
|Lillie
|''Wow, you all must really love tea! I do, too!''
|-
|Cress
|''Then I'm sure we'll get along splendidly. We're still quite new to Pasio, so we'd appreciate any good tea shop recommendations. And personally, I'm very interested in that Polteageist. Might it be an Antique Form Polteageist?''
|-
|Lillie
|''Yes, apparently! People often tell me it's rare. This Pokémon doesn't live in the Alola region, so I don't really know much about it...''
|-
|Chili
|''Well, good tea doesn't get its quality from the teapot. The most important thing for both tea and Pokémon is putting your heart into it!''
|-
|Lillie
|''Oh, yes! I totally agree!''
|-
|Cilan
|''Now then, about the puzzle... The three of us pooled our knowledge to come up with this challenge, so I hope you enjoy it. Your first objective is to make it through this pitch-dark cave. You may not be assisted by your partner Pokémon. Instead, please choose the most appropriate partner from the ones right here.''

|-
|Emmet
|''We've also just gotten new partner Pokémon, so we're hoping to deepen our bonds with them through this event as well. Our partner Pokémon are Escavalier and Accelgor. These special Pokémon can only evolve when Karrablast and Shelmet are brought together. That's exactly why Ingo and I have raised them together!''

== Error on Iris ==

Do you notice this animation error on Iris's waist accessory when she, Barry and Bettie are all running together? https://youtu.be/5LYyycD0YPA MagicalgirlKat@gmail.com 22:16, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
:I assume you're referring to the scene from 1:17 to 1:20, but I don't see any part of her outfit being miscolored there. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 19:14, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

:I am actually talking about the scene at 2:46.
:I also think I see an animation error in the scene with the three C's. It looks like the chest opening to Cress' white shirt is the same color as his vest: black. It will be noticeable if you look really closely. MagicalgirlKat@gmail.com 20:13, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Magicalgirlkat: Another animation error.

[[File:Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}}]]
{{shortcut|4|PMT|PMAT|Masters trailer|Pokémon Masters Trailer}}
The '''Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer''' (Japanese: '''『ポケモンマスターズ』トレーナー大集結スペシャルアニメーション''' ''Pokémon Masters: Trainers Great Gathering Special Animation'') is an original special {{pkmn|animation|animated}} trailer made to promote the release of the game [[Pokémon Masters EX|Pokémon Masters]].

The trailer premiered in Japan on June 27, 2019, followed by a release with Japanese and English voice acting on the official Japanese and English Pokémon [[YouTube]] channels, respectively. On the French, German, Italian, Spanish, Hong Kong, and Taiwan YouTube channels, the video was released with Japanese audio and subtitles in the respective language.

==Plot==
Focusing in on a castle stadium complex, {{mas|Cynthia}}, {{mas|Steven|Steven Stone}}, and {{mas|Lance}}, flanked by their signature Pokémon, await their next challengers. {{mas|Korrina}}, {{mas|Cheren}}, and {{mas|Misty}} rush up the stairs to take the {{pkmn|Champion}} trio on. Cheren orders his {{p|Stoutland}} to attack with {{m|Giga Impact}}, but it is struck back by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] with {{m|Dragon Claw}}. [[Korrina's Lucario]] leaps to Stoutland's defense, helping to break its fall. [[Lance's Dragonite]] follows up with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but [[Misty's Starmie]] protects its allies from the oncoming attack with {{m|Light Screen}}. Steven calls for {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} to attack with {{m|Flash Cannon}}. As the swirling beams of light chase after the opposition, Lucario fires off an {{m|Aura Sphere}}, Starmie uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and Stoutland retaliates with a {{m|Crunch}} attack.

Elsewhere, [[Scottie]] is seen with a {{p|Pikachu}} on his shoulder. {{mas|Brock}} and {{mas|Rosa}}, accompanied by her {{p|Snivy}}, rush out a house onto their next adventure. [[Brock's Onix]] soon rumbles into view and joins its Trainer. Similarly, [[Bettie]], {{mas|Barry}}, and {{mas|Iris}} leave a [[Pokémon Center]]. Soon, Brock and his friends reach the bustling [[Centra City]] and pause to watch the ongoing match featuring the three Champions from before from an overhead screen. The female Trainer and her associates exit through a drawbridge, and they all stop for a moment as the female Trainer checks her Poryphone for directions.

A battle wages on in the nearby forest. Brock's Onix bursts through the ground and uses {{m|Rock Slide}} at its opponents. However, {{mas|Erika}} is unfazed and has her {{p|Vileplume}} use {{m|Petal Dance}}. A {{tc|Beauty}} orders her {{p|Lotad}} to use {{m|Energy Ball}}, and a {{tc|Lass}} has her {{p|Whimsicott}} use {{m|Leech Seed}} to slow Onix down. As Onix struggles, Rosa and Scottie order Snivy and Pikachu into the fray. Snivy manages to free Onix of the Leech Seed with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}, but it is struck down by Lotad's oncoming Energy Ball, though Brock catches Snivy and quickly helps it recover with a spritz of [[Potion]]. Pikachu finds itself surrounded by its three opponents, but quickly blasts them away with Thunderbolt. Having defeated Erika and the other two Trainers, Scottie is given a {{badge|Tranquility}} in recognition of his victory. Afterwards, Erika decides to travel with Scottie and his troupe.

Meanwhile, Bettie and her friends run through a desert wasteland to reach a circular battle facility. Inside, they take on {{mas|Skyla}}, {{mas|Flint}}, and {{mas|Acerola}}. {{mas|Red}} and {{mas|Blue}} watch from above as the trio take on Acerola's {{p|Palossand}}. Blue remarks that trainers around the world are gathering in [[Pasio]] and forming new teams, swearing to prove his team as the strongest one of them all. Other teams are shown, including {{mas|Norman}} and {{mas|Brendan}}; {{mas|Professor Oak|Professors Oak}}, {{mas|Professor Sycamore|Sycamore}}, and {{mas|Kukui}}; {{mas|Sabrina}}, {{mas|Fantina}}, and {{mas|Elesa}}; {{mas|Giovanni}}, {{mas|Archer}}, and {{mas|Ariana}}; {{mas|Wulfric}} and {{mas|Crasher Wake}}; {{mas|Lusamine}} and her children {{mas|Lillie}} and {{mas|Gladion}}; rivals: {{mas|Hugh}}, {{mas|Silver}}, and {{mas|Wally}}; the [[Striaton Gym|Striaton Gym leader]] brothers, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]]; {{mas|Caitlin}}, {{mas|Palmer}}, and {{mas|Thorton}}; and {{mas|Nanu}} and {{mas|Grimsley}}. [[Paulo]], [[Team Break]], [[Rachel]], {{mas|Sawyer}}, and [[Lear]] are then revealed. The battle continues to rage on, so Bettie and her associates have their Pokémon unleash a colorful combination of Thunderbolt, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} at the opposition.

* In the close-up of {{mas|Erika}} shaking hands with [[Scottie]], the skirt of the {{tc|Lass}} in the background is colored dark-red to match Erika's kimono, instead of the light-blue color shown earlier.
* When Bettie, Iris, and Barry are running together, Iris' skirt is slightly miscolored to matching her shirt.

== Do the elemental monkeys' poses in this scene look familiar? ==

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/pokemon/images/6/6a/B%26W003_12.png/revision/latest?cb=20190825154645

They look like same the poses a certain group of gym leaders make in their artwork pictures. Could somebody please bring that up in the trivia section? MagicalgirlKat@gmail.com 22:28, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
:Thank you for pointing this out. But next time, could you just say who the “certain group” is referring to, because it took me a bit to realize you were talking about their Trainers specifically. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:42, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

:You're welcome. And sorry about that. I just thought that it would be obvious to those read it. MagicalgirlKat@gmail.com 23:54, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

== How do I edit some articles I don't know how to edit? ==

Can you please teach me how to put a new content section in any article page, you know, like an Errors section or Spoilers in an article that doesn't have one, one that is not an episode page to be precise, or a names section, or an eye color and a hair color section on a character profile on a character page? {{unsigned|Magicalgirlkat}}
:Hi! First of all, thanks for being a contributor on Bulbapedia. Happy to have you! Adding {{DL|Help:Wikicode|sections}} to articles is pretty simple. Just add <code><nowiki>== Section title ==</nowiki></code> in the spot you want the section to be and put the text for that section below it. If you'd like to make a subsection of an existing section, just add an extra equals signs on each side i.e. <code><nowiki>=== Subsection title ===</nowiki></code>, placing the subsection below the section you want it to be part of. If you add another equals sign to each side, you'll make it a subsection of a subsection, and so on.

:If you'd like to try it out, you can use the preview button (next to the Save Page button) to see if it worked before saving changes. Or on mobile, it will automatically generate a preview, and you can press the back button on the top left to go back and make additional adjustments. Once you think you've got it right, just save the changes to publish them to the site. You can also experiment over at the community {{bp|sandbox}} in order to test and figure out the code and more complex things such as tables, without needing to edit any actual articles.

:If you need help with anything else related to wikicode or editing, feel free to ask me or another [[staff]] member.

==Blurb==

Hundreds of years ago, Camaron Palace and its people were saved by the noble sacrifice of Sir Aaron, an Aura Knight. From that day forward the people have always honored his deeds with an annual festival. Of course, Ash isn't really much of a history buff—he's more interested in the Pokémon competition being held! Only when he wins and is asked to don the ceremonial role of Aura Guardian does Aaron's importance become clear—especially when Lucario emerges from Aaron's staff! Aaron isn't a hero to this long-dormant Pokémon—all Lucario remembers is the master that betrayed it!

Left out of the battle all those hundreds of years before, Lucario is asked to be a hero again—Mew has shown up and whisked Pikachu and Meowth away to the Tree of Life, and only Lucario can lead the way! Can Lucario put aside its distrust of humans long enough to reunite Ash with his best friend?

==Plot==
{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} jumps from boulder to boulder to a spot overseeing a wide expansive valley. Lucario senses something and uses its [[Aura]] to see the entire landscape. Lucario lets his sight travel about, going over more rocks and hills until he sees a large formation of a gigantic, red-armored Pokémon army, mixed with human foot soldiers, that is charging towards the middle of the valley. He looks to the other side of the valley and sees an equally gigantic, green-armored army, with equally powerful Pokémon of different species charging to the same destination.

As Lucario is comprehending the danger of the event, three {{p|Houndoom}} from the red army arrive at the scene, which Lucario evades and leaps away. He heads to a crystal formation on the ground, touching it, and then speaks through the crystal to his master, [[Sir Aaron]], an Aura Guardian, who is at [[Cameran Palace]]. Aaron stands upon a balcony with Queen Rin that overlooks the entire land, and he hears Lucario's voice coming from another crystal formation on the balcony. It seems the palace is in imminent danger of being overrun; peace cannot be brought to the two warring sides.

The three Houndoom find Lucario and proceed to attack him. After being cornered, he is left no choice and fights back. Although he is able to defeat his pursuers, he gets dirt in his eyes and is blinded, forcing him to use aura to see.

Knowing that Aaron must leave, Rin explains she is obliged as queen to share the same fate as the castle. After their last exchange of words, Aaron hops a ride on his {{p|Pidgeot}} to the valley. When he lands he sees Lucario catching up to him. Aaron tells Lucario to leave, as he has abandoned the palace and the Queen and will not be returning. Lucario cannot believe what he is hearing and implores him to wait, but Aaron throws down his scepter, which absorbs Lucario into a jewel at its top; from within the jewel, Lucario can see Aaron going off and feels betrayed by his master.

Rin observes from afar that the [[Tree of Beginning]] is suffering from the conflict. The two armies clash in the middle of the valley. Outside of the tree, Pidgeot flies away alone. With this, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tree of the Beginning, revealing itself to be {{mov|Mew|Mew|08}}.

Pidgeot approaches Rin with the scepter in its beak, which she takes. Suddenly, Rin witnesses the sight of the tree starting 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 is taking place.

Hundreds of years later, a mother reads the story to her daughter. According to legend, Queen Rin believed Aaron to be the hero who had used the power of the Tree of Beginning, where Mew is said to live. The two armies stopped their fighting, their hatred replaced with understanding, and returned to their lands, and peace was restored. Aaron became known as the True Guardian of Aura, without whom peace would have not been restored. To this day, the legend is commemorated every year in the town of [[Rota]] and the same [[Cameran Palace]].

{{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[Max]] happened to come to the town during this time and decided to participate in a tournament to decide who will be the "Hero of the Year." Ash and company walk along a bridge to Cameran Palace. They are dressed in their regular clothes while the townsfolk are in renaissance outfits. Meanwhile, a {{p|Taillow}} overhead lands on a window of the Palace, turning into a {{p|Pichu}}. In another room, Ash and company find a costume closet and decide to dress more appropriately. They later hurry to the tournament that is about to begin.

Before the tournament begins, [[Queen Ilene]], the ruler of the palace along with her maid {{mov|Jenny|3=08}} and her Pokémon {{p|Mime Jr.}}, steps out to the royal box seat to officially begin the tournament. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} eventually win and Ash becomes the "Hero of the Year".

Ash then walks up to meet his opponent from the finals and is surprised to discover the Trainer is a girl. She introduces herself as [[Kidd Summers]]. Ilene then announces that there will be a ball and banquet in honor of the new "Guardian of the Aura". Ash is presented to sit on a throne that overlooks the ballroom. Ilene presents Ash with Aaron's scepter. He suddenly hears a voice from the jewel crying "Why?". A confused Ash asks if anyone else heard it, but nobody did. Shrugging it off, the ball soon begins.

With the new company, Mew (in the form of an {{p|Aipom}}) takes the Pokémon posse about through the castle. {{MTR}}, who is helping himself to some food underneath the table, hears them and decides to follow them but is unable to. Mew directs the Pokémon to the attic directly above the ballroom chandelier and shows the Pokémon a few toys, which the group begins to play with. After a bit, Mew transforms from Aipom into {{p|Pikachu}} and begins dancing with Ash's Pikachu.

Kidd slips away from the ball in the same direction the Pokémon 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, Meowth noticing and follows. She climbs up to the rooftop before shooting a grappling rod to a tower across the castle grounds. She jumps off from one roof to the next. Meowth only goes so far, before he slips down the sloped rooftop. His tail grabs a hold of a decorative steeple rod, but he ends up swinging down and crashing into a window, ending up in the attic where the other Pokémon are located.

Ash sits upon the throne, a bit bored. He asks if he could get some food, but Jenny keeps him down on the throne, telling him to act like the hero, Sir Aaron. Max notices their Pokémon are missing until he spots {{TP|May|Munchlax}} nabbing a plate of fruit and going back upstairs with it; Max follows Munchlax to the top.

Kidd manages to get to a good vantage point on the roof where she can see through the broken glass Meowth made. She sees Mew and then puts on a pair of special glasses and begins reporting information to her boss, [[Banks]].

In the attic, Mew takes on its original form, looking at Meowth to see if he is alright. Taking this chance, Kidd sends out two {{p|Weavile}} and orders them to place a tracking device on Mew. Both of them jump into the broken window and begin a swift attack at Mew. Mew dodges their assaults easily. In an attempt to stop Mew, both of them use {{m|Blizzard}} just as Mew flies towards the door. At the same moment, Munchlax comes into the room and finds itself frozen in a block of ice. The door also freezes at its hinges and cracks.

Mew is soon held down though, and just when one of the Weavile is about to attach the tracker on Mew, Pikachu shocks the Sharp Claw Pokémon with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Mew escapes, but the Weavile try another Blizzard attack. Both Meowth and Pikachu dodge, the attack hits the other Pokémon, freezing them. Kidd notices this and figures that the plan did not go as well as expected. Mew then flies over towards Meowth who is at a corner and transforms into a Meowth. Mew switches itself and Meowth around to confuse the Weavile, but Meowth speaks and ruins the plan. Soon, the Weavile used their {{m|Ice Beam}} together to make it stronger, which sends Pikachu flying into Meowth's arms. Meanwhile, Max arrives and finds the door hard to open.

With Pikachu unconscious and the other Pokémon frozen, both Mew and Meowth are on their own. Mew transforms back to its original self. Max finally gets the door open, but only a crack as he watches what goes on. Mew soon {{m|teleport}}s before the Weavile can do anything else. The three teleport to one of the tower's steeples, and then Mew transforms into a Pidgeot and flies off, towards the Tree of Beginning.

[[File:Ash Aura Guardian.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash as an Aura Guardian]]
Back at the ball, Jenny tells Ash to stand up and copy the hero's pose as shown on the [[Sir Aaron]] poster. Once again Ash hears a voice from the jewel. The jewel soon glows, releasing Lucario from it. Lucario, still blinded from the Houndoom's attack during the great battle, is using Aura to see and mistakes Ash's form with Aaron's due to their similar Aura.

Lucario kneels before Ash before opening his eyes and realizing he isn't Aaron. Lucario becomes confused at what is going on, seeing the many people. Lucario soon escapes through the crowd of people, running around through the castle. He sees that it has changed, and memories of him and Aaron soon start replaying in his mind as he walks about.

Lucario stops at a display room, which he remembers to be a bedroom. Ash, May, Brock, Ilene, and Jenny confront Lucario in the room. Looking at Ilene, Lucario mistakes her for Rin and is glad to see her. Ilene says to Lucario that she is the descendant of Rin, the Queen who was reigning at the castle during his time. She goes on to explain that the memories that seem to him like yesterday, are ancient events.

At the Tree of Beginning, Mew looks after Pikachu, who is resting in a bed of leaves. Meowth seems to understand what Mew is up to, seeing a large pile of toys that it has gathered. Pikachu soon recovers.

Back at the throne room, Ilene explains to Ash and company, with Team Rocket eavesdropping, the story of Aaron and Lucario. Just then, Max runs into the room, exclaiming he just saw Mew getting attacked, and it took Pikachu and Meowth somewhere. Kidd comes out of the same door, confirming what Max saw. She also says that she saw Mew transform into a Pidgeot and take them away to the Tree of Beginning. Ilene takes them out to the balcony overlooking the land and shows them the tree, explaining that the tree is actually a unique rock formation, and supposedly possesses healing powers beyond imagination. It can revive the earth and soothe angry hearts, although it requires Mew. Ash decides the only way to get Pikachu back is to go over there himself. At Ilene's request, Lucario agrees to accompany the group in their quest. Jessie and James decide to tag along to retrieve Meowth.

Kidd says that she wants to go too. Brock reveals Kidd has been on a lot of major adventure fronts, including deep-sea diving in a sub and space travel. Brock goes crazy about how much he wanted to meet her (with Mime Jr. impersonating vividly) and how it has been an honor. Kidd says that she is here for the adventure, and she has a {{wp|Humvee}} that will get them there in no time. The next day, Kidd takes Ash and company towards the Tree of Beginning, Lucario running up ahead while Ilene and Jenny stay behind at Cameran Castle. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] stow away in the trunk.

Pikachu, after waking up, sees that it is with Mew and Meowth. Mew is excited that Pikachu is awake and well, playing around with it for a moment. Meowth falls into a hole concealed in a branch stump. Pikachu goes up and pokes his head in along with Mew. They see a long vertical tunnel with green bubbles coming up. Mew hops onto a bubble, followed by Pikachu. At another branch stump up higher, the three Pokémon come out. They walk up to the edge of the land, seeing the magnificent landscape below them.

The crew takes a break for lunch. Lucario finds some Berries while he sits upon a boulder. As Brock passes out the plates to everyone a {{p|Bonsly}} takes one of them before he can get to it. Brock finds Bonsly below eating lunch. Brock scolds it but this only makes it supposedly cry. May and Ash think Brock is too harsh, but Max points out that Bonsly is only using {{m|Fake Tears}}, and the Bonsly runs away with the food. Lucario picks up the plate, offering Bonsly a Berry instead. The Bonsly runs off behind a rock, peeking behind it once in a while.

They continue to travel down to the Tree of Beginning, but they stop once more. This time, the road is littered with geysers that are erupting and then May notices something off to the side, a hot spring! They decide to stop until the eruptions subside and take a dip. Ash, Brock, Max, and their Pokémon (except {{AP|Phanpy}}) take a swim in the hot spring.

When May comes out of the Humvee from dressing, Bonsly drops upon her head from the roof who took a ride with them, so May decides to take it along. She tries to take Bonsly into the water, but the small Pokémon jumps out and hides behind Phanpy. Max explains that Bonsly doesn't like water because it is a {{t|Rock}} Pokémon. Lucario sits upon a rock, remembering the time when Aaron took him here. The memory is interrupted when Ash told Lucario to jump in, but Lucario simply walks off, Ash a bit annoyed by his cold attitude. May notices a strange-looking plant sitting high up on the rocks, and Ash volunteers to get it. As soon as he grabs it though, he slips and falls off. May catches the plant, which looks like a crystallized pod. Seeing as how it is a flower, they decided to plant it. Just before they do, the pod suddenly blooms and a holographic vision fills the area, replaying how Ash fell down the cliff as he was getting the plant. Kidd identifies it as a [[time flower]], explaining that it records events in the area at the time it was planted and then it can replay the scene at a later time when activated by Aura.

Night falls and they decide to camp for the night. Ash tells everyone [[EP001|the story]] of how he and Pikachu became partners and best friends while saving it from a flock of Spearow during the lightning storm. While Ash talks, Lucario recalls another memory of how Aaron trained him to master his Aura. Lucario suddenly walks away in disgust and calls all humans untrustworthy, and when confronted by Ash, Lucario tells him of his belief that humans and Pokémon could never be friends. Ash gets very angry at this and asks Lucario why they should believe everything he says about Sir Aaron anyway. Lucario asks Ash how he knows Pikachu was kidnapped, suggesting that maybe it just wanted to get away from a weak Trainer. This pushes Ash over the edge, and he tackles Lucario, both rolling down a ledge to a pond. The two thrash about in the pond, the others coming to try to stop the two from fighting. Lucario finally throws Ash out to the shore, jumping off to the top of the ledge and walking off.

As Ash dries off, May berates Ash for losing his cool, though he argues that Lucario said horrible things about him and Pikachu. May argues that Ash said some horrible things as well, causing Ash to defeatedly agree. Nearby, Max comes up and gives a bar of {{wp|chocolate}} to Lucario who, after some hesitation, decides to try it.

Later that night, Mew and Pikachu play about while Meowth sleeps. Pikachu smiles a bit, but it still cannot help the feeling of being separated from Ash. He puts down one of Mew's toys and looks out towards the horizon. As he says "Pikachu" out loud, Ash wakes up from his sleep and gets out of the Humvee the crew was sleeping in. He walks by, not noticing Lucario, who himself observes Ash looking towards the Tree of Beginning and saying Pikachu's name out loud.

The next day, they travel down the path, soon coming up to a stop. Lucario stands looking up at a cliff, the others wondering what is going on. Lucario tells them this was the spot that Aaron sealed Lucario in his scepter. He touches a time flower by accident and soon it replays the same scene when Lucario met up with Aaron, where Aaron renounced his loyalty to the Queen, threw his scepter down, and sealed Lucario in the jewel. Then they watch Aaron fly off. Suddenly, from the two pathways on the road, the green army charges through the small pathway. Lucario appears horrified and begins throwing {{m|Aura Sphere}}s at them, barely missing Ash multiple times in the process. Ash tells Lucario to stop because they are only illusions; Lucario does stop, shocked to have seen that event happen. Ash comes up to him, apologizing for his earlier words against him. Lucario accepts the apology and makes Ash promise to never abandon Pikachu.

As they walk back to the Humvee, Lucario senses something. At the last second, he pushes himself and Ash out of the way just as a {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regirock}} {{m|dig}}s its way from the ground. It begins using {{m|Hyper Beam}} upon the "intruders". Lucario covers for them and keeps Regirock occupied before escaping into the crevice. Along the way, Lucario tells them to make a turn at a tunnel. They follow the tunnel, and by now it seems as if they have lost Regirock. At the end of the tunnel, they come to a large cave of ancient Pokémon.

Now having made it into the Tree, the only way to get to Pikachu is by going up. Ash goes on ahead to another tunnel, followed by Lucario. Kidd takes out her specs, relaying information back to the company. Banks tells here that the tree is designed with many tunnels that form a network, like blood vessels. Kidd deploys out small helicopter gadgets to gather information about the Tree, then follows Ash.

The probes that Kidd deployed to attempt to take samples of the crystal that lie there. However, a red blob engulfs and eats them. Kidd gets a warning that the probes are rapidly being destroyed, and that some sort of immune system in the Tree has been activated, which seeks out and destroys intruders. A {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Registeel}} becomes aware of the intruders and begins to hunt them as well.

At the end of the next tunnel, Ash finds himself outside, upon one of the "leaves" of the Tree. Ash calls out to Pikachu, who hears him and calls back. As things seem to turn for the better, a {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regice}} stands in front of Ash's path and begins firing a barrage of {{m|Ice Beam}}s. Lucario battles it while Ash gets away. He retreats to the tunnel, telling the others they must find another way because Regice is up ahead. Lucario throws an Aura Sphere at it to stun it long enough to get away.

They proceed through another tunnel, finding themselves at the cliff of a large hollow cave a good ways above the ground. Blue crystal pillars stick out from wall to wall. Deciding where to go, Jessie and James find themselves in the same place, at a different entrance. They jump down to Ash and company, landing with a crash. Regirock and Registeel found them. Lucario points a way, across one of the blue pillars that run like a bridge to another exit higher up. Lucario at the end of the line finds the three Regis on their tail. He fires an Aura Sphere at the bridge's center, destroying it before they have a chance to cross.

As Jessie and James run up ahead, a red blob comes from the other side of the tunnel after them. It turns into a {{p|Cradily}} shape and swallows up Jessie. James tries to save her by sending out {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, using {{m|Pin Missile}}, as the rest of the group appears behind him. However, Jessie is eventually swallowed up. Another blob takes James, who then sends out {{TP|James|Chimecho}}, telling it to save itself. The rest of the gang comes into view and sees the stranded Pokémon.

One more red blob, this time in the shape of an {{p|Aerodactyl}}, comes after them, but Lucario destroys it with his Aura Sphere. The gang is quickly on the run again, and Cacnea and Chimecho are left standing sad and confused over what happened to their Trainers. Soon the red blobs approach from behind. The others try to find another way to get past them. One of them makes it through and almost catches Kidd, but Lucario gets in the way. The blob takes Lucario, but soon dissolves itself as the Tree does not consider Pokémon hostile.

The group soon discovers two Regis once again on their tails. As they run, they find a room with two tunnels. The group decides to split and meet up later. Brock, May, Kidd head down the right tunnel, and when Ash asks if Lucario is following, he says he won't leave until Ash finds Pikachu, knowing Ash would do the same for him. Ash thanks Lucario before sending out {{AP|Grovyle}} and {{AP|Corphish}}, using their attacks to slow the Regis down briefly before heading down the other tunnel.

Pikachu meanwhile continues using his senses to look for Ash, followed by Mew and a very tired Meowth. As they begin to travel through another tunnel, three red blobs head by them, causing Meowth to wonder what they are. Those red blobs eventually reach Kidd's group, this time first taking Max, then Brock. Not wanting his Pokémon to go down with him, Brock releases {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. May tries in vain to save her brother, who eventually disappears, at which point May is caught as well; she releases {{TP|May|Combusken}}, {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} before she is gone; Kidd, on the other hand, manages to elude the blobs. Brock's and May's horrified Pokémon (plus Bonsly) are left behind staring at the places where their trainers disappeared.

Lucario and Ash manage to lose the Regis, but they come up to a huge crevice with crystal pillars coming out from side to side. Not only is it a long way down, but strong gusts of wind blow from time to time. On the other side, Pikachu comes out from another tunnel (with Mew and Meowth still in the tunnel). Ash, happy to see Pikachu, runs out on the pillars while Pikachu does the same. Pikachu has no problem hopping from pillar to pillar in the wind, but Ash occasionally slips. He continues on when the wind gets too strong. Both he and Pikachu meet in the middle, where they jump to meet, though they soon fall. In the nick of time, Kidd uses her grappling hook to swing across and grab Ash and Pikachu, landing at the tunnel entrance where Lucario is standing. Ash and Pikachu are finally reunited, and he introduces his partner to Lucario, who is now beginning to truly understand the deeper relationship that is possible between humans and Pokémon. Grovyle and Corphish appear, then Mew shows up with Ash's hat and Meowth appears climbing down the pillars. Now the group needs to escape the Tree so travel as a group down the next tunnel.

While going through the tunnels, Ash asks what happened to the others. Kidd doesn't answer at first, making Ash realize that they were taken by the blobs. Kidd confirms this when they spot two more red blobs up the path, and Meowth is upset when told that Jessie and James have also been consumed by them. They quickly find a branch off to another tunnel, but the blobs continue right behind them. The group comes to a room with large crystal formations. Lucario goes on ahead but is ambushed by Registeel and Regirock. Registeel grabs him, giving the red blobs a chance to capture Kidd and Ash, which is what is intended. As Kidd gets "eaten", she releases both her Weavile from their {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Lucario desperately tries to free himself but is stunned by Registeel. Ash releases Phanpy and {{TP|Ash|Swellow}} and tells Pikachu to look after the others. Pikachu, desperate to save Ash, grabs onto his hand and is assisted by Grovyle and Phanpy while the other Pokémon can only watch horrified. Lucario manages to free himself from Registeel's grip and hurries to help, but it is too late: Ash is gone as the blob slips into the ground, and the crystals turn blue again. Ash's Pokémon, devastated by their loss, begin to cry. Lucario watches this, appearing hurt as well.

Mew sees how upset Pikachu is from losing Ash and flies up, touching a crystal. It begins to glow green, as well as every crystal in the area. Soon the blobs, now green, form up into mounds and dissolve away, leaving their victims behind, alive and well, just where they had been taken. As Ash is also released from the blob, Pikachu jumps into his arms and is quickly followed by Phanpy and Corphish with Grovyle and Swellow watching as all are overjoyed to have him back. Lucario observes the reunion happy to see Ash and his Pokémon reunited as well as the bond all they share. The Regis walk off, not seeing them as a threat anymore. Meowth tells Ash that Mew communicated to the Tree and was able to convince it the humans were not a threat. Ash thanks Mew for saving them as Mew tries to return Ash's hat, but it drops the hat and floats down - being caught by Kidd - and is now very weak.

Suddenly, all of the crystals turn red. While Meowth hears James's voice nearby and hurries off unnoticed, Kidd's boss says that the tree's immune system has gone into shock and the entire Tree has become unstable. Kidd tells Ash that Mew and the Tree are connected and if the Tree is destroyed, Mew will certainly die. The crystals begin to blacken and crumble and parts of the ground collapse. Ash returns his Pokémon to their Poké Balls and, with no time to lose, Mew signals and leads the group to the core room.

In this room, Lucario looks to the side and notices that there is a crystal formation with Sir Aaron's body inside it. Lucario does not understand why Aaron is here but sees his gloves nearby. Ash 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. Ho-Oh also comes in, revealing itself to be Mew. They watch as Aaron begins delivering his Aura, the only energy that would suffice, to Mew. A sphere of energy forms around Mew as he does so, while at the same time jults pulsate around his body and he grunts in pain in the process. In the end, they hear Aaron let out a loud scream, and the scene ends.

Lucario realizes that Sir Aaron did not abandon him or the kingdom but sacrificed himself to save them and that he is truly the hero everyone believes him to be. Lucario is filled with guilt for doubting his master but Mew helps him realize that the power of the Aura can restore the Tree. Lucario, seeing how he can utilize the Aura that Aaron can, declares he will be the one to do it. Lucario goes up to Mew and begins transferring energy but is soon pulled back. He realizes he is not strong enough yet to deliver the energy needed. Ash remembers that Lucario mentioned he had the same Aura as Sir Aaron and can control it as well. He puts on Aaron's gloves, which help to channel the energy. Kidd tries to stop Ash, telling him he would be sacrificing himself, but Ash explains that if he doesn't help, the Tree (as well as all the other Pokémon living in it) would die. Both Lucario and Ash begin channeling energy into Mew. As time passes and they channel more energy, it begins to strain them. Lucario looks at Ash and, at the last possible moment, pushes Ash out of the way, telling him he'll take it from there. The energy channeling completes, and Mew swiftly moves to the energy core of the Tree, the stored energy releasing a green light that restores life to the Tree. The crystals turn green and emit bright beams of light across the land as well as in the castle. Down one of the tunnels, Jessie and James note that they've somehow managed to survive, as Meowth finds them, and the three friends are happily reunited. Brock, May, and Max step outside to see the Tree is normal again.

Kidd confers with Banks, who tells her that, having solved the mystery and saved the Tree of Beginning, she could be famous. Kidd however decides not to publish this adventure and says to keep it a secret, stating that the Tree would be ruined by tourists, and Banks reluctantly agrees. Lucario stumbles down next to Aaron's crystal, exhausted and in the same condition as Aaron. Lucario's paw bumps into a time flower, activating it. This memory shows Aaron collapsing and sitting there, taking off his gloves and saying his last words. He tells Lucario that he only sealed him up because he knew Lucario would follow him no matter what otherwise. He also says that Lucario was not his servant, but his partner and friend and tearfully hopes to see him again someday. Lucario sobs, understanding now Sir Aaron's sacrifice and apologizes for failing him, but Ash assures him that it isn't true and Lucario has proved himself to be a True Guardian of Aura as well. Lucario thanks Ash and then starts to disappear. Ash begs him not to die, but Lucario tells Ash it's all right as Sir Aaron is waiting for him as he goes, turning into an orb of energy that combines with Aaron's energy and floats up to the sky (at the same time causing Aaron's crystal to disappear).

[[File:Lucario and Ash.png|thumb|220px|Lucario with Ash before dying]]
Brock, May, and Max see the Tree's crystals glow again as Kidd and Ash step outside from a nearby tunnel. Everyone else sadly ponder Lucario's sacrifice. Ash, knowing that he will never forget his friend or the relationship that is possible between humans and Pokémon, states that Lucario's aura is with him.

During the credits, they find out the tapestry in the castle showing Aaron holding up his scepter has changed; it now includes Lucario, Aaron's partner, and friend, standing beside him. Ash and company take a cable car down. Along the way they see Kidd waving from her Humvee before leaving. Bonsly remains with Mew at the Tree of Beginning, both of them thrilled to have found a friend and Aaron's gloves are revealed to now be among Mew's toys. Kidd has a conversation on her phone with Banks, as the former is exploring Forina with Diane and Butler watching her. Ash and friends travel in the town below the castle while Team Rocket floats overhead, seemingly plotting another capture of Pikachu, but Wobbuffet knocks Meowth out of the balloon by accident, causing Meowth to cling to the bottom of the balloon. In what would appear to be the afterlife, Aaron and Lucario are shown standing together. Aaron takes a bite of something and reacts positively; a closeup reveals a bar of chocolate like the one Max shared with Lucario earlier. Ash and his friends travel towards a bridge and the next city, continuing their Pokémon journeys together.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sir Aaron.png|thumb|300px|[[Sir Aaron]], Knight of [[Cameran Palace]]]]
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[AG134]] and [[AG135]] in Japan.
* This movie introduces the concept of [[aura]] to the {{pkmn|animated series}} [[canon]].
* This is the second movie in which a character dies and is not resurrected. The first was ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', where {{OBP|Latios|M05}} sacrificed himself to save [[Alto Mare]] from a large tidal wave. This time, two characters died, Lucario and Sir Aaron. However, they are seen during the ending credits, presumably in the afterlife.
* This is the first movie since the fifth movie, and the only ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' movie, to have the corresponding theme song played during the opening credits (this time, it is the [[S08|Advanced Battle]] theme); however, it receives no remix.
* The [[Rota]] castle is based on {{wp|Neuschwanstein}}, a castle in {{wp|Allgäu}}, {{wp|Bavaria}}, Germany.<ref>http://www.pokemon2005.jp/staffdiary/0801.html</ref>
* In Latin America, it was the first of the ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' movies to be dubbed, and aired just after the finale of [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] and before the beginning of [[S10|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] in a special along with ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. The other two ''Advanced Generation'' movies, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', were not dubbed until early 2008.
* The strings section of the movie score is performed by Koike Strings, and was recorded on June 11, 2005.<ref>http://www.koikestrings.com/ Koike Strings official website</ref>
* During the scene where Ash remembers a scene from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', an instrumental part of [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]] can be heard playing as the background music.
* The two armies of Pokémon, Red and Green, reference the original two [[core series|version]]s of Pokémon, {{game3|Red and Green|Red and Green|s}}.
* [[May's Munchlax]] is the only one of the main characters' Pokémon besides Pikachu to appear on the front cover.
** This is also the second movie in a row where a {{p|Munchlax}} appears on the front cover.
* This is the first movie in which the main featured Pokémon is neither {{pkmn2|Legendary}} nor {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, with the other being ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* This is the first Pokémon movie not to receive a VHS release in the United States and Canada, due to the discontinuity of the format in 2006.
* This movie was made canon by ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', when Ash, being the only human in the area able to sense and use aura, is the only one who could reseal {{p|Spiritomb}}.
** Ash's aura powers have also been featured in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part Two]]'' when Ash was able to sense [[Aura Sphere Riolu]]'s presence, and in ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', where he could sense the aura emanating from {{AP|Riolu}}'s {{pkmn|Egg}}.
* This movie was in the making before its [[M07|predecessor]] was even finished.
* This movie marks the first time a [[Generation IV]] [[move]] is used in the animated series.
* The Lapras music box at the Tree of Beginning plays the same tune as {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s song.
* In the epilogue, Kidd appears to be exploring [[Forina]], a location featured in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. Two of the main characters from the movie, [[Butler]] and [[Diane]], cameo in this scene, standing behind Kidd.
* This movie was nominated for best anime feature in the {{wp|American Anime Awards}}, but lost to ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII Advent Children}}''.
* {{p|Jynx}}'s old design appears briefly when the tree of Pokémon is seen in the beginning.
* This movie was the first one to be skipped in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, even though the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} arc was dubbed in Finnish, with the second being [[M09|the next movie]]. These two movies were also skipped in the other Nordic countries.
** Interestingly enough, both of these movies take place during the aforementioned season.
** Due to {{ma|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|the next movie's manga adaptation}} being translated in Finnish, this is the only movie without a Finnish title.
* This was the last movie:
**To be dubbed by [[4Kids Entertainment]].
**To be released on VHS in Japan.
* In a February 2021 poll held by the official [[Pokémon]] website, this movie was voted the most popular movie of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.<ref>https://twitter.com/pokemon_movie/status/1358275545465819136</ref>
* After the scene where the characters get dressed up and the opening at the stadium, May's hairstyle changes from a bow to pigtails and braids. It is never explained how and why.

===Errors===
* During the introduction, where Ash is about to use Phanpy for a battle, the Poké Ball's button is large in appearance.
* Houndoom's Japanese duologue is accidentally kept in the English dub.
* In the English dub, when Mew transforms into Ho-Oh, it uses Pidgeot's voice.
* When the guests in the ballroom witness the staff glowing, a part of Jessie's sleeve is missing.
* When May admires Queen Ilene on the balcony, the pink bow on her left sleeve is discolored yellow.
* When Lucario emerges from the staff, his feet are blue instead of black.
In this movie, {{p|Regice}} was pronounced as Rej-i-ice; however, in [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]], it was pronounced as Rej-ice.

* Similarly, {{p|Bonsly}} is pronounced Bonsl''ee'', whereas it is pronounced as Bons-lie when he catches his own.

=== Dub edits ===
* Battle Frontier is replaced by Advanced Battle in the opening credits.
* In the English dub, when Jessie gets dressed in her castle gown, she says that it is a wonderful outfit, while in the Japanese version, she says that James and Meowth will be her dates.
* In the English dub, when Ash asks Lucario if he would look for a lost friend, Lucario responds by saying it doesn't have friends and doesn't want any. In the original Japanese version, Lucario says the reason he went with Ash is because Queen Ilene asked him to.
* In the English dub, when talking about Aura, Max asks if Brock can show him what it looks like, and Brock says that it is probably supposed to be invisible. In the original Japanese version, Max asks if he has "hadou" as well, while Brock says that it can also be known as Aura.
* In the English dub, Brock says that Sir Aaron wasn't a hero and that he wasn't even around when the war broke out in ancient times, and Max deduces Sir Aaron must have abandoned Lucario. In the original Japanese version, Brock wonders if what Lucario said about being abandoned is true, and Max suggests that Sir Aaron sealed Lucario in the staff to save him.
* In the English dub, during the last vision of the past, Lucario merely says that he forgives Sir Aaron. In the original Japanese version, Lucario says that it would have followed Sir Aaron to help out if it wasn't sealed in the staff.
* In the end credits, Song of Origin in the Japanese dub is replaced by We Will Meet Again.

Hello, I am a BIG Pokémon Fan I would LOVE to help edit on Bulbapedia! I have edited other things before, Such as Fandom ([http://Fandom.com Fandom.com]). In Fandom, there is a thing called "Visual Editor", where you can edit the page, while still seeing the preview. But I am not familiar with Bulbapedia, and I don't know how to do stuff for editing. If someone could show some tools on how to edit Bulbapedia, That would be really helpful. Thanks!
I know the basic stuff like putting [[ for a link and stuff. But I need to know how to do other things. Or, adding a "Visual Editor" type to Bulbapedia would be nice. :) [[User:IsaacBoi123|IsaacBoi123]] ([[User talk:IsaacBoi123|talk]]) 00:46, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I might be mistaken but im not sure, can anyone shed some light on this? id like to do a play through and make sure that the right moves are correct on Blues party from oaks lab to the final battle so that everyone knows the correct moves are on which pokemon. also please if anyone could please send me the correct moves Blue uses on his Blastoise team in Pokemon tower, Silph Co., Route 22 and final Battle with him choosing Blastoise? thanks!

== questions about regarding some of Rival Blues pokemon team Moves (Fire red Leaf green) ==

Hello wasent sure where to discuss this, but i found that in a video i have a link to that when a youtuber used a ditto in a fire red run he copied Rival Blues growlithe's moves in Silph Co, and turns out it had the moves Odor Sleuth, and Helping Hand, not Roar and Leer which are applied along the other recently correct moves already applied to it which are Take Down and Flame Wheel respectively, can anyone else confirm what other correct moves are for Exeggcute, i could be wrong but im sure that the correct moves it has are confusion, stun spore and the other two moves im not sure, and apart of me thinks its not hypnosis but rather, Leech Seed, poison powder, or sleep powder? and also for the last Route 22 fight with Rival blue im starting to wonder what the correct moves are for the growlithe and exeggcute TBH im starting to wonder what moves are even right on blues pokemon from beginning to end in fire red and leaf green some look like they were coping some of the old red and blue moves and mixing them up with the new and improved moves on his pokemon... I might be mistaken but im not sure, can anyone shed some light on this? id like to do a play through and make sure that the right moves are correct on Blues party from oaks lab to the final battle so that everyone knows the correct moves are on which pokemon. also please if anyone could please send me the correct moves Blue uses on his Blastoise team in Pokemon tower, Silph Co., Route 22 and final Battle with him choosing Blastoise? thanks!

Hey, I'm new here! I explicitly made an account for this subject! A few friends and I have been having a Pokémon Movie Marathon and realized this site didn't have
scans of this odd little promotional guide for Pokémon Colosseum?
I dropped it on my Tumblr Page here: https://www.tumblr.com/eggsxlord/747872934925942784/heres-a-fun-one-scans-of-a-promotional-guide?source=share
Don't really know where it needs to be posted. If anyone could let me know where it would fit best (like the movie's page) or just upload it themselves, feel free! Just make
sure to credit my buddy who did the scan "SheepyDwagon" if possible!

== Should the explorers have their Pokémon’s stuff be included in the important events section of the episode pages ==

My biggest support to that is ash’s companions had their Pokémons’s stuff on the important stuff pages so why shouldn’t the explorers’s pokemon be on the same page having their pokemons’s new moves and such listed?

== Pokemon Dream World Art ==
Hello. I have recently joined Bulbapedia, wanting to help improve the Pokémon Dream World Art among other things. I currently don't who's in charge of that, so I hope someone can show me how I can help and/or who's in charge of the Pokémon Dream World Art. (AnotherGhostlyFolk) 03:31:00 August 27 2024 (UTC)

: Hi! There isn't really any one "in charge" of any particular artwork we have on the [[a:Main Page|Archives]], instead you can join the [https://discord.gg/bulbagarden Bulbagarden Discord], and discuss what changes you'd like to make in the ''#archives-and-images'' channel.

== image preview? ==
When I click on an image, even in the archives, it doesn't go to the image page. Instead, it shows a preview. Is this intentional, or is it a glitch? If it is, is there a way to disable it? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I just want to know what's going on.[[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 01:23, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer

2025-06-12T17:21:45Z

Magicalgirlkat:

[[File:Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}}]]
{{shortcut|4|PMT|PMAT|Masters trailer|Pokémon Masters Trailer}}
The '''Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer''' (Japanese: '''『ポケモンマスターズ』トレーナー大集結スペシャルアニメーション''' ''Pokémon Masters: Trainers Great Gathering Special Animation'') is an original special {{pkmn|animation|animated}} trailer made to promote the release of the game [[Pokémon Masters EX|Pokémon Masters]].

The trailer premiered in Japan on June 27, 2019, followed by a release with Japanese and English voice acting on the official Japanese and English Pokémon [[YouTube]] channels, respectively. On the French, German, Italian, Spanish, Hong Kong, and Taiwan YouTube channels, the video was released with Japanese audio and subtitles in the respective language.

==Plot==
Focusing in on a castle stadium complex, {{mas|Cynthia}}, {{mas|Steven|Steven Stone}}, and {{mas|Lance}}, flanked by their signature Pokémon, await their next challengers. {{mas|Korrina}}, {{mas|Cheren}}, and {{mas|Misty}} rush up the stairs to take the {{pkmn|Champion}} trio on. Cheren orders his {{p|Stoutland}} to attack with {{m|Giga Impact}}, but it is struck back by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] with {{m|Dragon Claw}}. [[Korrina's Lucario]] leaps to Stoutland's defense, helping to break its fall. [[Lance's Dragonite]] follows up with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but [[Misty's Starmie]] protects its allies from the oncoming attack with {{m|Light Screen}}. Steven calls for {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} to attack with {{m|Flash Cannon}}. As the swirling beams of light chase after the opposition, Lucario fires off an {{m|Aura Sphere}}, Starmie uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and Stoutland retaliates with a {{m|Crunch}} attack.

Elsewhere, [[Scottie]] is seen with a {{p|Pikachu}} on his shoulder. {{mas|Brock}} and {{mas|Rosa}}, accompanied by her {{p|Snivy}}, rush out a house onto their next adventure. [[Brock's Onix]] soon rumbles into view and joins its Trainer. Similarly, [[Bettie]], {{mas|Barry}}, and {{mas|Iris}} leave a [[Pokémon Center]]. Soon, Brock and his friends reach the bustling [[Centra City]] and pause to watch the ongoing match featuring the three Champions from before from an overhead screen. The female Trainer and her associates exit through a drawbridge, and they all stop for a moment as the female Trainer checks her Poryphone for directions.

A battle wages on in the nearby forest. Brock's Onix bursts through the ground and uses {{m|Rock Slide}} at its opponents. However, {{mas|Erika}} is unfazed and has her {{p|Vileplume}} use {{m|Petal Dance}}. A {{tc|Beauty}} orders her {{p|Lotad}} to use {{m|Energy Ball}}, and a {{tc|Lass}} has her {{p|Whimsicott}} use {{m|Leech Seed}} to slow Onix down. As Onix struggles, Rosa and Scottie order Snivy and Pikachu into the fray. Snivy manages to free Onix of the Leech Seed with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}, but it is struck down by Lotad's oncoming Energy Ball, though Brock catches Snivy and quickly helps it recover with a spritz of [[Potion]]. Pikachu finds itself surrounded by its three opponents, but quickly blasts them away with Thunderbolt. Having defeated Erika and the other two Trainers, Scottie is given a {{badge|Tranquility}} in recognition of his victory. Afterwards, Erika decides to travel with Scottie and his troupe.

Meanwhile, Bettie and her friends run through a desert wasteland to reach a circular battle facility. Inside, they take on {{mas|Skyla}}, {{mas|Flint}}, and {{mas|Acerola}}. {{mas|Red}} and {{mas|Blue}} watch from above as the trio take on Acerola's {{p|Palossand}}. Blue remarks that trainers around the world are gathering in [[Pasio]] and forming new teams, swearing to prove his team as the strongest one of them all. Other teams are shown, including {{mas|Norman}} and {{mas|Brendan}}; {{mas|Professor Oak|Professors Oak}}, {{mas|Professor Sycamore|Sycamore}}, and {{mas|Kukui}}; {{mas|Sabrina}}, {{mas|Fantina}}, and {{mas|Elesa}}; {{mas|Giovanni}}, {{mas|Archer}}, and {{mas|Ariana}}; {{mas|Wulfric}} and {{mas|Crasher Wake}}; {{mas|Lusamine}} and her children {{mas|Lillie}} and {{mas|Gladion}}; rivals: {{mas|Hugh}}, {{mas|Silver}}, and {{mas|Wally}}; the [[Striaton Gym|Striaton Gym leader]] brothers, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]]; {{mas|Caitlin}}, {{mas|Palmer}}, and {{mas|Thorton}}; and {{mas|Nanu}} and {{mas|Grimsley}}. [[Paulo]], [[Team Break]], [[Rachel]], {{mas|Sawyer}}, and [[Lear]] are then revealed. The battle continues to rage on, so Bettie and her associates have their Pokémon unleash a colorful combination of Thunderbolt, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} at the opposition.

==Trivia==
* This is the fourth trailer of its kind specifically created to promote new games, the [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer|first]] being for [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Animated Shorts|second]] for [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], and the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer|third]] for [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* This is the first non-main series animated feature to have a Japanese voice actor reprise their role, with Aki Toyosaki reprising her role as {{mas|Rosa}} from the Black Version 2 and White Version 2 Animated Trailer.
** It is also the first such feature to cast [[Ikue Otani]] as {{p|Pikachu}}.

===Errors===
* In the close-up of {{mas|Erika}} shaking hands with [[Scottie]], the skirt of the {{tc|Lass}} in the background is colored dark-red to match Erika's kimono, instead of the light-blue color shown earlier.

==Blurb==

Hundreds of years ago, Camaron Palace and its people were saved by the noble sacrifice of Sir Aaron, an Aura Knight. From that day forward the people have always honored his deeds with an annual festival. Of course, Ash isn't really much of a history buff—he's more interested in the Pokémon competition being held! Only when he wins and is asked to don the ceremonial role of Aura Guardian does Aaron's importance become clear—especially when Lucario emerges from Aaron's staff! Aaron isn't a hero to this long-dormant Pokémon—all Lucario remembers is the master that betrayed it!

Left out of the battle all those hundreds of years before, Lucario is asked to be a hero again—Mew has shown up and whisked Pikachu and Meowth away to the Tree of Life, and only Lucario can lead the way! Can Lucario put aside its distrust of humans long enough to reunite Ash with his best friend?

==Plot==
{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} jumps from boulder to boulder to a spot overseeing a wide expansive valley. Lucario senses something and uses its [[Aura]] to see the entire landscape. Lucario lets his sight travel about, going over more rocks and hills until he sees a large formation of a gigantic, red-armored Pokémon army, mixed with human foot soldiers, that is charging towards the middle of the valley. He looks to the other side of the valley and sees an equally gigantic, green-armored army, with equally powerful Pokémon of different species charging to the same destination.

As Lucario is comprehending the danger of the event, three {{p|Houndoom}} from the red army arrive at the scene, which Lucario evades and leaps away. He heads to a crystal formation on the ground, touching it, and then speaks through the crystal to his master, [[Sir Aaron]], an Aura Guardian, who is at [[Cameran Palace]]. Aaron stands upon a balcony with Queen Rin that overlooks the entire land, and he hears Lucario's voice coming from another crystal formation on the balcony. It seems the palace is in imminent danger of being overrun; peace cannot be brought to the two warring sides.

The three Houndoom find Lucario and proceed to attack him. After being cornered, he is left no choice and fights back. Although he is able to defeat his pursuers, he gets dirt in his eyes and is blinded, forcing him to use aura to see.

Knowing that Aaron must leave, Rin explains she is obliged as queen to share the same fate as the castle. After their last exchange of words, Aaron hops a ride on his {{p|Pidgeot}} to the valley. When he lands he sees Lucario catching up to him. Aaron tells Lucario to leave, as he has abandoned the palace and the Queen and will not be returning. Lucario cannot believe what he is hearing and implores him to wait, but Aaron throws down his scepter, which absorbs Lucario into a jewel at its top; from within the jewel, Lucario can see Aaron going off and feels betrayed by his master.

Rin observes from afar that the [[Tree of Beginning]] is suffering from the conflict. The two armies clash in the middle of the valley. Outside of the tree, Pidgeot flies away alone. With this, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tree of the Beginning, revealing itself to be {{mov|Mew|Mew|08}}.

Pidgeot approaches Rin with the scepter in its beak, which she takes. Suddenly, Rin witnesses the sight of the tree starting 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 is taking place.

Hundreds of years later, a mother reads the story to her daughter. According to legend, Queen Rin believed Aaron to be the hero who had used the power of the Tree of Beginning, where Mew is said to live. The two armies stopped their fighting, their hatred replaced with understanding, and returned to their lands, and peace was restored. Aaron became known as the True Guardian of Aura, without whom peace would have not been restored. To this day, the legend is commemorated every year in the town of [[Rota]] and the same [[Cameran Palace]].

{{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[Max]] happened to come to the town during this time and decided to participate in a tournament to decide who will be the "Hero of the Year." Ash and company walk along a bridge to Cameran Palace. They are dressed in their regular clothes while the townsfolk are in renaissance outfits. Meanwhile, a {{p|Taillow}} overhead lands on a window of the Palace, turning into a {{p|Pichu}}. In another room, Ash and company find a costume closet and decide to dress more appropriately. They later hurry to the tournament that is about to begin.

Before the tournament begins, [[Queen Ilene]], the ruler of the palace along with her maid {{mov|Jenny|3=08}} and her Pokémon {{p|Mime Jr.}}, steps out to the royal box seat to officially begin the tournament. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} eventually win and Ash becomes the "Hero of the Year".

Ash then walks up to meet his opponent from the finals and is surprised to discover the Trainer is a girl. She introduces herself as [[Kidd Summers]]. Ilene then announces that there will be a ball and banquet in honor of the new "Guardian of the Aura". Ash is presented to sit on a throne that overlooks the ballroom. Ilene presents Ash with Aaron's scepter. He suddenly hears a voice from the jewel crying "Why?". A confused Ash asks if anyone else heard it, but nobody did. Shrugging it off, the ball soon begins.

With the new company, Mew (in the form of an {{p|Aipom}}) takes the Pokémon posse about through the castle. {{MTR}}, who is helping himself to some food underneath the table, hears them and decides to follow them but is unable to. Mew directs the Pokémon to the attic directly above the ballroom chandelier and shows the Pokémon a few toys, which the group begins to play with. After a bit, Mew transforms from Aipom into {{p|Pikachu}} and begins dancing with Ash's Pikachu.

Kidd slips away from the ball in the same direction the Pokémon 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, Meowth noticing and follows. She climbs up to the rooftop before shooting a grappling rod to a tower across the castle grounds. She jumps off from one roof to the next. Meowth only goes so far, before he slips down the sloped rooftop. His tail grabs a hold of a decorative steeple rod, but he ends up swinging down and crashing into a window, ending up in the attic where the other Pokémon are located.

Ash sits upon the throne, a bit bored. He asks if he could get some food, but Jenny keeps him down on the throne, telling him to act like the hero, Sir Aaron. Max notices their Pokémon are missing until he spots {{TP|May|Munchlax}} nabbing a plate of fruit and going back upstairs with it; Max follows Munchlax to the top.

Kidd manages to get to a good vantage point on the roof where she can see through the broken glass Meowth made. She sees Mew and then puts on a pair of special glasses and begins reporting information to her boss, [[Banks]].

In the attic, Mew takes on its original form, looking at Meowth to see if he is alright. Taking this chance, Kidd sends out two {{p|Weavile}} and orders them to place a tracking device on Mew. Both of them jump into the broken window and begin a swift attack at Mew. Mew dodges their assaults easily. In an attempt to stop Mew, both of them use {{m|Blizzard}} just as Mew flies towards the door. At the same moment, Munchlax comes into the room and finds itself frozen in a block of ice. The door also freezes at its hinges and cracks.

Mew is soon held down though, and just when one of the Weavile is about to attach the tracker on Mew, Pikachu shocks the Sharp Claw Pokémon with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Mew escapes, but the Weavile try another Blizzard attack. Both Meowth and Pikachu dodge, the attack hits the other Pokémon, freezing them. Kidd notices this and figures that the plan did not go as well as expected. Mew then flies over towards Meowth who is at a corner and transforms into a Meowth. Mew switches itself and Meowth around to confuse the Weavile, but Meowth speaks and ruins the plan. Soon, the Weavile used their {{m|Ice Beam}} together to make it stronger, which sends Pikachu flying into Meowth's arms. Meanwhile, Max arrives and finds the door hard to open.

With Pikachu unconscious and the other Pokémon frozen, both Mew and Meowth are on their own. Mew transforms back to its original self. Max finally gets the door open, but only a crack as he watches what goes on. Mew soon {{m|teleport}}s before the Weavile can do anything else. The three teleport to one of the tower's steeples, and then Mew transforms into a Pidgeot and flies off, towards the Tree of Beginning.

[[File:Ash Aura Guardian.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash as an Aura Guardian]]
Back at the ball, Jenny tells Ash to stand up and copy the hero's pose as shown on the [[Sir Aaron]] poster. Once again Ash hears a voice from the jewel. The jewel soon glows, releasing Lucario from it. Lucario, still blinded from the Houndoom's attack during the great battle, is using Aura to see and mistakes Ash's form with Aaron's due to their similar Aura.

Lucario kneels before Ash before opening his eyes and realizing he isn't Aaron. Lucario becomes confused at what is going on, seeing the many people. Lucario soon escapes through the crowd of people, running around through the castle. He sees that it has changed, and memories of him and Aaron soon start replaying in his mind as he walks about.

Lucario stops at a display room, which he remembers to be a bedroom. Ash, May, Brock, Ilene, and Jenny confront Lucario in the room. Looking at Ilene, Lucario mistakes her for Rin and is glad to see her. Ilene says to Lucario that she is the descendant of Rin, the Queen who was reigning at the castle during his time. She goes on to explain that the memories that seem to him like yesterday, are ancient events.

At the Tree of Beginning, Mew looks after Pikachu, who is resting in a bed of leaves. Meowth seems to understand what Mew is up to, seeing a large pile of toys that it has gathered. Pikachu soon recovers.

Back at the throne room, Ilene explains to Ash and company, with Team Rocket eavesdropping, the story of Aaron and Lucario. Just then, Max runs into the room, exclaiming he just saw Mew getting attacked, and it took Pikachu and Meowth somewhere. Kidd comes out of the same door, confirming what Max saw. She also says that she saw Mew transform into a Pidgeot and take them away to the Tree of Beginning. Ilene takes them out to the balcony overlooking the land and shows them the tree, explaining that the tree is actually a unique rock formation, and supposedly possesses healing powers beyond imagination. It can revive the earth and soothe angry hearts, although it requires Mew. Ash decides the only way to get Pikachu back is to go over there himself. At Ilene's request, Lucario agrees to accompany the group in their quest. Jessie and James decide to tag along to retrieve Meowth.

Kidd says that she wants to go too. Brock reveals Kidd has been on a lot of major adventure fronts, including deep-sea diving in a sub and space travel. Brock goes crazy about how much he wanted to meet her (with Mime Jr. impersonating vividly) and how it has been an honor. Kidd says that she is here for the adventure, and she has a {{wp|Humvee}} that will get them there in no time. The next day, Kidd takes Ash and company towards the Tree of Beginning, Lucario running up ahead while Ilene and Jenny stay behind at Cameran Castle. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] stow away in the trunk.

Pikachu, after waking up, sees that it is with Mew and Meowth. Mew is excited that Pikachu is awake and well, playing around with it for a moment. Meowth falls into a hole concealed in a branch stump. Pikachu goes up and pokes his head in along with Mew. They see a long vertical tunnel with green bubbles coming up. Mew hops onto a bubble, followed by Pikachu. At another branch stump up higher, the three Pokémon come out. They walk up to the edge of the land, seeing the magnificent landscape below them.

The crew takes a break for lunch. Lucario finds some Berries while he sits upon a boulder. As Brock passes out the plates to everyone a {{p|Bonsly}} takes one of them before he can get to it. Brock finds Bonsly below eating lunch. Brock scolds it but this only makes it supposedly cry. May and Ash think Brock is too harsh, but Max points out that Bonsly is only using {{m|Fake Tears}}, and the Bonsly runs away with the food. Lucario picks up the plate, offering Bonsly a Berry instead. The Bonsly runs off behind a rock, peeking behind it once in a while.

They continue to travel down to the Tree of Beginning, but they stop once more. This time, the road is littered with geysers that are erupting and then May notices something off to the side, a hot spring! They decide to stop until the eruptions subside and take a dip. Ash, Brock, Max, and their Pokémon (except {{AP|Phanpy}}) take a swim in the hot spring.

When May comes out of the Humvee from dressing, Bonsly drops upon her head from the roof who took a ride with them, so May decides to take it along. She tries to take Bonsly into the water, but the small Pokémon jumps out and hides behind Phanpy. Max explains that Bonsly doesn't like water because it is a {{t|Rock}} Pokémon. Lucario sits upon a rock, remembering the time when Aaron took him here. The memory is interrupted when Ash told Lucario to jump in, but Lucario simply walks off, Ash a bit annoyed by his cold attitude. May notices a strange-looking plant sitting high up on the rocks, and Ash volunteers to get it. As soon as he grabs it though, he slips and falls off. May catches the plant, which looks like a crystallized pod. Seeing as how it is a flower, they decided to plant it. Just before they do, the pod suddenly blooms and a holographic vision fills the area, replaying how Ash fell down the cliff as he was getting the plant. Kidd identifies it as a [[time flower]], explaining that it records events in the area at the time it was planted and then it can replay the scene at a later time when activated by Aura.

Night falls and they decide to camp for the night. Ash tells everyone [[EP001|the story]] of how he and Pikachu became partners and best friends while saving it from a flock of Spearow during the lightning storm. While Ash talks, Lucario recalls another memory of how Aaron trained him to master his Aura. Lucario suddenly walks away in disgust and calls all humans untrustworthy, and when confronted by Ash, Lucario tells him of his belief that humans and Pokémon could never be friends. Ash gets very angry at this and asks Lucario why they should believe everything he says about Sir Aaron anyway. Lucario asks Ash how he knows Pikachu was kidnapped, suggesting that maybe it just wanted to get away from a weak Trainer. This pushes Ash over the edge, and he tackles Lucario, both rolling down a ledge to a pond. The two thrash about in the pond, the others coming to try to stop the two from fighting. Lucario finally throws Ash out to the shore, jumping off to the top of the ledge and walking off.

As Ash dries off, May berates Ash for losing his cool, though he argues that Lucario said horrible things about him and Pikachu. May argues that Ash said some horrible things as well, causing Ash to defeatedly agree. Nearby, Max comes up and gives a bar of {{wp|chocolate}} to Lucario who, after some hesitation, decides to try it.

Later that night, Mew and Pikachu play about while Meowth sleeps. Pikachu smiles a bit, but it still cannot help the feeling of being separated from Ash. He puts down one of Mew's toys and looks out towards the horizon. As he says "Pikachu" out loud, Ash wakes up from his sleep and gets out of the Humvee the crew was sleeping in. He walks by, not noticing Lucario, who himself observes Ash looking towards the Tree of Beginning and saying Pikachu's name out loud.

The next day, they travel down the path, soon coming up to a stop. Lucario stands looking up at a cliff, the others wondering what is going on. Lucario tells them this was the spot that Aaron sealed Lucario in his scepter. He touches a time flower by accident and soon it replays the same scene when Lucario met up with Aaron, where Aaron renounced his loyalty to the Queen, threw his scepter down, and sealed Lucario in the jewel. Then they watch Aaron fly off. Suddenly, from the two pathways on the road, the green army charges through the small pathway. Lucario appears horrified and begins throwing {{m|Aura Sphere}}s at them, barely missing Ash multiple times in the process. Ash tells Lucario to stop because they are only illusions; Lucario does stop, shocked to have seen that event happen. Ash comes up to him, apologizing for his earlier words against him. Lucario accepts the apology and makes Ash promise to never abandon Pikachu.

As they walk back to the Humvee, Lucario senses something. At the last second, he pushes himself and Ash out of the way just as a {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regirock}} {{m|dig}}s its way from the ground. It begins using {{m|Hyper Beam}} upon the "intruders". Lucario covers for them and keeps Regirock occupied before escaping into the crevice. Along the way, Lucario tells them to make a turn at a tunnel. They follow the tunnel, and by now it seems as if they have lost Regirock. At the end of the tunnel, they come to a large cave of ancient Pokémon.

Now having made it into the Tree, the only way to get to Pikachu is by going up. Ash goes on ahead to another tunnel, followed by Lucario. Kidd takes out her specs, relaying information back to the company. Banks tells here that the tree is designed with many tunnels that form a network, like blood vessels. Kidd deploys out small helicopter gadgets to gather information about the Tree, then follows Ash.

The probes that Kidd deployed to attempt to take samples of the crystal that lie there. However, a red blob engulfs and eats them. Kidd gets a warning that the probes are rapidly being destroyed, and that some sort of immune system in the Tree has been activated, which seeks out and destroys intruders. A {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Registeel}} becomes aware of the intruders and begins to hunt them as well.

At the end of the next tunnel, Ash finds himself outside, upon one of the "leaves" of the Tree. Ash calls out to Pikachu, who hears him and calls back. As things seem to turn for the better, a {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regice}} stands in front of Ash's path and begins firing a barrage of {{m|Ice Beam}}s. Lucario battles it while Ash gets away. He retreats to the tunnel, telling the others they must find another way because Regice is up ahead. Lucario throws an Aura Sphere at it to stun it long enough to get away.

They proceed through another tunnel, finding themselves at the cliff of a large hollow cave a good ways above the ground. Blue crystal pillars stick out from wall to wall. Deciding where to go, Jessie and James find themselves in the same place, at a different entrance. They jump down to Ash and company, landing with a crash. Regirock and Registeel found them. Lucario points a way, across one of the blue pillars that run like a bridge to another exit higher up. Lucario at the end of the line finds the three Regis on their tail. He fires an Aura Sphere at the bridge's center, destroying it before they have a chance to cross.

As Jessie and James run up ahead, a red blob comes from the other side of the tunnel after them. It turns into a {{p|Cradily}} shape and swallows up Jessie. James tries to save her by sending out {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, using {{m|Pin Missile}}, as the rest of the group appears behind him. However, Jessie is eventually swallowed up. Another blob takes James, who then sends out {{TP|James|Chimecho}}, telling it to save itself. The rest of the gang comes into view and sees the stranded Pokémon.

One more red blob, this time in the shape of an {{p|Aerodactyl}}, comes after them, but Lucario destroys it with his Aura Sphere. The gang is quickly on the run again, and Cacnea and Chimecho are left standing sad and confused over what happened to their Trainers. Soon the red blobs approach from behind. The others try to find another way to get past them. One of them makes it through and almost catches Kidd, but Lucario gets in the way. The blob takes Lucario, but soon dissolves itself as the Tree does not consider Pokémon hostile.

The group soon discovers two Regis once again on their tails. As they run, they find a room with two tunnels. The group decides to split and meet up later. Brock, May, Kidd head down the right tunnel, and when Ash asks if Lucario is following, he says he won't leave until Ash finds Pikachu, knowing Ash would do the same for him. Ash thanks Lucario before sending out {{AP|Grovyle}} and {{AP|Corphish}}, using their attacks to slow the Regis down briefly before heading down the other tunnel.

Pikachu meanwhile continues using his senses to look for Ash, followed by Mew and a very tired Meowth. As they begin to travel through another tunnel, three red blobs head by them, causing Meowth to wonder what they are. Those red blobs eventually reach Kidd's group, this time first taking Max, then Brock. Not wanting his Pokémon to go down with him, Brock releases {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. May tries in vain to save her brother, who eventually disappears, at which point May is caught as well; she releases {{TP|May|Combusken}}, {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} before she is gone; Kidd, on the other hand, manages to elude the blobs. Brock's and May's horrified Pokémon (plus Bonsly) are left behind staring at the places where their trainers disappeared.

Lucario and Ash manage to lose the Regis, but they come up to a huge crevice with crystal pillars coming out from side to side. Not only is it a long way down, but strong gusts of wind blow from time to time. On the other side, Pikachu comes out from another tunnel (with Mew and Meowth still in the tunnel). Ash, happy to see Pikachu, runs out on the pillars while Pikachu does the same. Pikachu has no problem hopping from pillar to pillar in the wind, but Ash occasionally slips. He continues on when the wind gets too strong. Both he and Pikachu meet in the middle, where they jump to meet, though they soon fall. In the nick of time, Kidd uses her grappling hook to swing across and grab Ash and Pikachu, landing at the tunnel entrance where Lucario is standing. Ash and Pikachu are finally reunited, and he introduces his partner to Lucario, who is now beginning to truly understand the deeper relationship that is possible between humans and Pokémon. Grovyle and Corphish appear, then Mew shows up with Ash's hat and Meowth appears climbing down the pillars. Now the group needs to escape the Tree so travel as a group down the next tunnel.

While going through the tunnels, Ash asks what happened to the others. Kidd doesn't answer at first, making Ash realize that they were taken by the blobs. Kidd confirms this when they spot two more red blobs up the path, and Meowth is upset when told that Jessie and James have also been consumed by them. They quickly find a branch off to another tunnel, but the blobs continue right behind them. The group comes to a room with large crystal formations. Lucario goes on ahead but is ambushed by Registeel and Regirock. Registeel grabs him, giving the red blobs a chance to capture Kidd and Ash, which is what is intended. As Kidd gets "eaten", she releases both her Weavile from their {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Lucario desperately tries to free himself but is stunned by Registeel. Ash releases Phanpy and {{TP|Ash|Swellow}} and tells Pikachu to look after the others. Pikachu, desperate to save Ash, grabs onto his hand and is assisted by Grovyle and Phanpy while the other Pokémon can only watch horrified. Lucario manages to free himself from Registeel's grip and hurries to help, but it is too late: Ash is gone as the blob slips into the ground, and the crystals turn blue again. Ash's Pokémon, devastated by their loss, begin to cry. Lucario watches this, appearing hurt as well.

Mew sees how upset Pikachu is from losing Ash and flies up, touching a crystal. It begins to glow green, as well as every crystal in the area. Soon the blobs, now green, form up into mounds and dissolve away, leaving their victims behind, alive and well, just where they had been taken. As Ash is also released from the blob, Pikachu jumps into his arms and is quickly followed by Phanpy and Corphish with Grovyle and Swellow watching as all are overjoyed to have him back. Lucario observes the reunion happy to see Ash and his Pokémon reunited as well as the bond all they share. The Regis walk off, not seeing them as a threat anymore. Meowth tells Ash that Mew communicated to the Tree and was able to convince it the humans were not a threat. Ash thanks Mew for saving them as Mew tries to return Ash's hat, but it drops the hat and floats down - being caught by Kidd - and is now very weak.

Suddenly, all of the crystals turn red. While Meowth hears James's voice nearby and hurries off unnoticed, Kidd's boss says that the tree's immune system has gone into shock and the entire Tree has become unstable. Kidd tells Ash that Mew and the Tree are connected and if the Tree is destroyed, Mew will certainly die. The crystals begin to blacken and crumble and parts of the ground collapse. Ash returns his Pokémon to their Poké Balls and, with no time to lose, Mew signals and leads the group to the core room.

In this room, Lucario looks to the side and notices that there is a crystal formation with Sir Aaron's body inside it. Lucario does not understand why Aaron is here but sees his gloves nearby. Ash 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. Ho-Oh also comes in, revealing itself to be Mew. They watch as Aaron begins delivering his Aura, the only energy that would suffice, to Mew. A sphere of energy forms around Mew as he does so, while at the same time jults pulsate around his body and he grunts in pain in the process. In the end, they hear Aaron let out a loud scream, and the scene ends.

Lucario realizes that Sir Aaron did not abandon him or the kingdom but sacrificed himself to save them and that he is truly the hero everyone believes him to be. Lucario is filled with guilt for doubting his master but Mew helps him realize that the power of the Aura can restore the Tree. Lucario, seeing how he can utilize the Aura that Aaron can, declares he will be the one to do it. Lucario goes up to Mew and begins transferring energy but is soon pulled back. He realizes he is not strong enough yet to deliver the energy needed. Ash remembers that Lucario mentioned he had the same Aura as Sir Aaron and can control it as well. He puts on Aaron's gloves, which help to channel the energy. Kidd tries to stop Ash, telling him he would be sacrificing himself, but Ash explains that if he doesn't help, the Tree (as well as all the other Pokémon living in it) would die. Both Lucario and Ash begin channeling energy into Mew. As time passes and they channel more energy, it begins to strain them. Lucario looks at Ash and, at the last possible moment, pushes Ash out of the way, telling him he'll take it from there. The energy channeling completes, and Mew swiftly moves to the energy core of the Tree, the stored energy releasing a green light that restores life to the Tree. The crystals turn green and emit bright beams of light across the land as well as in the castle. Down one of the tunnels, Jessie and James note that they've somehow managed to survive, as Meowth finds them, and the three friends are happily reunited. Brock, May, and Max step outside to see the Tree is normal again.

Kidd confers with Banks and who finds out that everything is back to normal and tells Kidd that she will make a fortune from the information she has gathered. Kidd however decides not to publish this adventure and says to keep it a secret, stating that the Tree would be ruined by tourists, and Banks reluctantly agrees. Lucario stumbles down next to Aaron's crystal, exhausted and in the same condition as Aaron. Lucario's paw bumps into a time flower, activating it. This memory shows Aaron collapsing and sitting there, taking off his gloves and saying his last words. He tells Lucario that he only sealed him up because he knew Lucario would follow him no matter what otherwise. He also says that Lucario was not his servant, but his partner and friend and tearfully hopes to see him again someday. Lucario sobs, understanding now Sir Aaron's sacrifice and apologizes for failing him, but Ash assures him that it isn't true and Lucario has proved himself to be a True Guardian of Aura as well. Lucario thanks Ash and then starts to disappear. Ash begs him not to die, but Lucario tells Ash it's all right as Sir Aaron is waiting for him as he goes, turning into an orb of energy that combines with Aaron's energy and floats up to the sky (at the same time causing Aaron's crystal to disappear).

[[File:Lucario and Ash.png|thumb|220px|Lucario with Ash before dying]]
Brock, May, and Max see the tree's crystals glow again as Kidd and Ash step outside from a nearby tunnel. Everyone else sadly ponder Lucario's sacrifice. Ash, knowing that he will never forget his friend or the relationship that is possible between humans and Pokémon, states that Lucario's aura is with him.

During the credits, they find out the tapestry in the castle showing Aaron holding up his scepter has changed; it now includes Lucario, Aaron's partner, and friend, standing beside him. Ash and company take a cable car down. Along the way they see Kidd waving from her Humvee before leaving. Bonsly remains with Mew at the Tree of Beginning, both of them thrilled to have found a friend and Aaron's gloves are revealed to now be among Mew's toys. Kidd has a conversation on her phone with Banks, as the former is exploring Forina with Diane and Butler watching her. Ash and friends travel in the town below the castle while Team Rocket floats overhead, seemingly plotting another capture of Pikachu, but Wobbuffet knocks Meowth out of the balloon by accident, causing Meowth to cling to the bottom of the balloon. In what would appear to be the afterlife, Aaron and Lucario are shown standing together. Aaron takes a bite of something and reacts positively; a closeup reveals a bar of chocolate like the one Max shared with Lucario earlier. Ash and his friends travel towards a bridge and the next city, continuing their Pokémon journeys together.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sir Aaron.png|thumb|300px|[[Sir Aaron]], Knight of [[Cameran Palace]]]]
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[AG134]] and [[AG135]] in Japan.
* This movie introduces the concept of [[aura]] to the {{pkmn|animated series}} [[canon]].
* This is the second movie in which a character dies and is not resurrected. The first was ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', where {{OBP|Latios|M05}} sacrificed himself to save [[Alto Mare]] from a large tidal wave. This time, two characters died, Lucario and Sir Aaron. However, they are seen during the ending credits, presumably in the afterlife.
* This is the first movie since the fifth movie, and the only ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' movie, to have the corresponding theme song played during the opening credits (this time, it is the [[S08|Advanced Battle]] theme); however, it receives no remix.
* The [[Rota]] castle is based on {{wp|Neuschwanstein}}, a castle in {{wp|Allgäu}}, {{wp|Bavaria}}, Germany.<ref>http://www.pokemon2005.jp/staffdiary/0801.html</ref>
* In Latin America, it was the first of the ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' movies to be dubbed, and aired just after the finale of [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] and before the beginning of [[S10|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] in a special along with ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. The other two ''Advanced Generation'' movies, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', were not dubbed until early 2008.
* The strings section of the movie score is performed by Koike Strings, and was recorded on June 11, 2005.<ref>http://www.koikestrings.com/ Koike Strings official website</ref>
* In this movie, {{p|Regice}} was pronounced as Rej-i-ice; however, in [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]], it was pronounced as Rej-ice.
** Similarly, {{p|Bonsly}} is pronounced Bonsl''ee'', whereas it is pronounced as Bonsl''y'' when [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Brock catches one]].
* During the scene where Ash remembers a scene from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', an instrumental part of [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]] can be heard playing as the background music.
* The two armies of Pokémon, Red and Green, reference the original two [[core series|version]]s of Pokémon, {{game3|Red and Green|Red and Green|s}}.
* [[May's Munchlax]] is the only one of the main characters' Pokémon besides Pikachu to appear on the front cover.
** This is also the second movie in a row where a {{p|Munchlax}} appears on the front cover.
* This is the first movie in which the main featured Pokémon is neither {{pkmn2|Legendary}} nor {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, with the other being ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* When Mew is transformed into Ho-Oh in the dub, {{p|Pidgeot}}'s voice is used as well as Ho-Oh's.
* This is the first Pokémon movie not to receive a VHS release in the United States and Canada, due to the discontinuity of the format in 2006.
* This movie was made canon by ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', when Ash, being the only human in the area able to sense and use aura, is the only one who could reseal {{p|Spiritomb}}.
** Ash's aura powers have also been featured in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part Two]]'' when Ash was able to sense [[Aura Sphere Riolu]]'s presence, and in ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', where he could sense the aura emanating from {{AP|Riolu}}'s {{pkmn|Egg}}.
* This movie was in the making before its [[M07|predecessor]] was even finished.
* This movie marks the first time a [[Generation IV]] [[move]] is used in the animated series.
* The Lapras music box at the Tree of Beginning plays the same tune as {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s song.
* In the epilogue, Kidd appears to be exploring [[Forina]], a location featured in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. Two of the main characters from the movie, [[Butler]] and [[Diane]], cameo in this scene, standing behind Kidd.
* This movie was nominated for best anime feature in the {{wp|American Anime Awards}}, but lost to ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII Advent Children}}''.
* {{p|Jynx}}'s old design appears briefly when the tree of Pokémon is seen in the beginning.
* This movie was the first one to be skipped in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, even though the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} arc was dubbed in Finnish, with the second being [[M09|the next movie]]. These two movies were also skipped in the other Nordic countries.
** Interestingly enough, both of these movies take place during the aforementioned season.
** Due to {{ma|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|the next movie's manga adaptation}} being translated in Finnish, this is the only movie without a Finnish title.
* This was the last movie:
**To be dubbed by [[4Kids Entertainment]].
**To be released on VHS in Japan.
* In a February 2021 poll held by the official [[Pokémon]] website, this movie was voted the most popular movie of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.<ref>https://twitter.com/pokemon_movie/status/1358275545465819136</ref>
* After the scene where the characters get dressed up and the opening at the stadium, May's hairstyle changes from a bow to pigtails and braids. It is never explained how and why.

===Errors===
* During the introduction, where Ash is about to use Phanpy for a battle, the Poké Ball's button is large in appearance.
* In the English dub, when Mew transforms into Ho-Oh, it uses Pidgeot's voice.
* When the guests in the ballroom witness the staff glowing, a part of Jessie's sleeve is missing.
* When May admires Queen Ilene on the balcony, the pink bow on her left sleeve is discolored yellow.
* When Lucario emerges from the staff, his feet are blue instead of black.

===Dub edits===
* Battle Frontier is replaced by Advanced Battle in the opening credits.
* In the English dub, when Jessie gets dressed in her castle gown, she says that it is a wonderful outfit, while in the Japanese version, she says that James and Meowth will be her dates.
* In the English dub, when Ash asks Lucario if he would look for a lost friend, Lucario responds by saying it doesn't have friends and doesn't want any. In the original Japanese version, Lucario says the reason he went with Ash is because Queen Ilene asked him to.
* In the English dub, when talking about Aura, Max asks if Brock can show him what it looks like, and Brock says that it is probably supposed to be invisible. In the original Japanese version, Max asks if he has "hadou" as well, while Brock says that it can also be known as Aura.
* In the English dub, Brock says that Sir Aaron wasn't a hero and that he wasn't even around when the war broke out in ancient times, and Max deduces Sir Aaron must have abandoned Lucario. In the original Japanese version, Brock wonders if what Lucario said about being abandoned is true, and Max suggests that Sir Aaron sealed Lucario in the staff to save him.
* In the English dub, during the last vision of the past, Lucario merely says that he forgives Sir Aaron. In the original Japanese version, Lucario says that it would have followed Sir Aaron to help out if it wasn't sealed in the staff.
* In the end credits, Song of Origin in the Japanese dub is replaced by We Will Meet Again.

==Blurb==

Hundreds of years ago, Camaron Palace and its people were saved by the noble sacrifice of Sir Aaron, an Aura Knight. From that day forward the people have always honored his deeds with an annual festival. Of course, Ash isn't really much of a history buff—he's more interested in the Pokémon competition being held! Only when he wins and is asked to don the ceremonial role of Aura Guardian does Aaron's importance become clear—especially when Lucario emerges from Aaron's staff! Aaron isn't a hero to this long-dormant Pokémon—all Lucario remembers is the master that betrayed it!

Left out of the battle all those hundreds of years before, Lucario is asked to be a hero again—Mew has shown up and whisked Pikachu and Meowth away to the Tree of Life, and only Lucario can lead the way! Can Lucario put aside its distrust of humans long enough to reunite Ash with his best friend?

==Plot==
{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} jumps from boulder to boulder to a spot overseeing a wide expansive valley. Lucario senses something and uses its [[Aura]] to see the entire landscape. Lucario lets his sight travel about, going over more rocks and hills until he sees a large formation of a gigantic, red-armored Pokémon army, mixed with human foot soldiers, that is charging towards the middle of the valley. He looks to the other side of the valley and sees an equally gigantic, green-armored army, with equally powerful Pokémon of different species charging to the same destination.

As Lucario is comprehending the danger of the event, three {{p|Houndoom}} from the red army arrive at the scene, which Lucario evades and leaps away. He heads to a crystal formation on the ground, touching it, and then speaks through the crystal to his master, [[Sir Aaron]], an Aura Guardian, who is at [[Cameran Palace]]. Aaron stands upon a balcony with Queen Rin that overlooks the entire land, and he hears Lucario's voice coming from another crystal formation on the balcony. It seems the palace is in imminent danger of being overrun; peace cannot be brought to the two warring sides.

The three Houndoom find Lucario and proceed to attack him. After being cornered, he is left no choice and fights back. Although he is able to defeat his pursuers, he gets dirt in his eyes and is blinded, forcing him to use aura to see.

Knowing that Aaron must leave, Rin explains she is obliged as queen to share the same fate as the castle. After their last exchange of words, Aaron hops a ride on his {{p|Pidgeot}} to the valley. When he lands he sees Lucario catching up to him. Aaron tells Lucario to leave, as he has abandoned the palace and the Queen and will not be returning. Lucario cannot believe what he is hearing and implores him to wait, but Aaron throws down his scepter, which absorbs Lucario into a jewel at its top; from within the jewel, Lucario can see Aaron going off and feels betrayed by his master.

Rin observes from afar that the [[Tree of Beginning]] is suffering from the conflict. The two armies clash in the middle of the valley. Outside of the tree, Pidgeot flies away alone. With this, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tree of the Beginning, revealing itself to be {{mov|Mew|Mew|08}}.

Pidgeot approaches Rin with the scepter in its beak, which she takes. Suddenly, Rin witnesses the sight of the tree starting 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 is taking place.

Hundreds of years later, a mother reads the story to her daughter. According to legend, Queen Rin believed Aaron to be the hero who had used the power of the Tree of Beginning, where Mew is said to live. The two armies stopped their fighting, their hatred replaced with understanding, and returned to their lands, and peace was restored. Aaron became known as the True Guardian of Aura, without whom peace would have not been restored. To this day, the legend is commemorated every year in the town of [[Rota]] and the same [[Cameran Palace]].

{{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[Max]] happened to come to the town during this time and decided to participate in a tournament to decide who will be the "Hero of the Year." Ash and company walk along a bridge to Cameran Palace. They are dressed in their regular clothes while the townsfolk are in renaissance outfits. Meanwhile, a {{p|Taillow}} overhead lands on a window of the Palace, turning into a {{p|Pichu}}. In another room, Ash and company find a costume closet and decide to dress more appropriately. They later hurry to the tournament that is about to begin.

Before the tournament begins, [[Queen Ilene]], the ruler of the palace along with her maid {{mov|Jenny|3=08}} and her Pokémon {{p|Mime Jr.}}, steps out to the royal box seat to officially begin the tournament. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} eventually win and Ash becomes the "Hero of the Year".

Ash then walks up to meet his opponent from the finals and is surprised to discover the Trainer is a girl. She introduces herself as [[Kidd Summers]]. Ilene then announces that there will be a ball and banquet in honor of the new "Guardian of the Aura". Ash is presented to sit on a throne that overlooks the ballroom. Ilene presents Ash with Aaron's scepter. He suddenly hears a voice from the jewel crying "Why?". A confused Ash asks if anyone else heard it, but nobody did. Shrugging it off, the ball soon begins.

With the new company, Mew (in the form of an {{p|Aipom}}) takes the Pokémon posse about through the castle. {{MTR}}, who is helping himself to some food underneath the table, hears them and decides to follow them but is unable to. Mew directs the Pokémon to the attic directly above the ballroom chandelier and shows the Pokémon a few toys, which the group begins to play with. After a bit, Mew transforms from Aipom into {{p|Pikachu}} and begins dancing with Ash's Pikachu.

Kidd slips away from the ball in the same direction the Pokémon 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, Meowth noticing and follows. She climbs up to the rooftop before shooting a grappling rod to a tower across the castle grounds. She jumps off from one roof to the next. Meowth only goes so far, before he slips down the sloped rooftop. His tail grabs a hold of a decorative steeple rod, but he ends up swinging down and crashing into a window, ending up in the attic where the other Pokémon are located.

Ash sits upon the throne, a bit bored. He asks if he could get some food, but Jenny keeps him down on the throne, telling him to act like the hero, Sir Aaron. Max notices their Pokémon are missing until he spots {{TP|May|Munchlax}} nabbing a plate of fruit and going back upstairs with it; Max follows Munchlax to the top.

Kidd manages to get to a good vantage point on the roof where she can see through the broken glass Meowth made. She sees Mew and then puts on a pair of special glasses and begins reporting information to her boss, [[Banks]].

In the attic, Mew takes on its original form, looking at Meowth to see if he is alright. Taking this chance, Kidd sends out two {{p|Weavile}} and orders them to place a tracking device on Mew. Both of them jump into the broken window and begin a swift attack at Mew. Mew dodges their assaults easily. In an attempt to stop Mew, both of them use {{m|Blizzard}} just as Mew flies towards the door. At the same moment, Munchlax comes into the room and finds itself frozen in a block of ice. The door also freezes at its hinges and cracks.

Mew is soon held down though, and just when one of the Weavile is about to attach the tracker on Mew, Pikachu shocks the Sharp Claw Pokémon with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Mew escapes, but the Weavile try another Blizzard attack. Both Meowth and Pikachu dodge, the attack hits the other Pokémon, freezing them. Kidd notices this and figures that the plan did not go as well as expected. Mew then flies over towards Meowth who is at a corner and transforms into a Meowth. Mew switches itself and Meowth around to confuse the Weavile, but Meowth speaks and ruins the plan. Soon, the Weavile used their {{m|Ice Beam}} together to make it stronger, which sends Pikachu flying into Meowth's arms. Meanwhile, Max arrives and finds the door hard to open.

With Pikachu unconscious and the other Pokémon frozen, both Mew and Meowth are on their own. Mew transforms back to its original self. Max finally gets the door open, but only a crack as he watches what goes on. Mew soon {{m|teleport}}s before the Weavile can do anything else. The three teleport to one of the tower's steeples, and then Mew transforms into a Pidgeot and flies off, towards the Tree of Beginning.

[[File:Ash Aura Guardian.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash as an Aura Guardian]]
Back at the ball, Jenny tells Ash to stand up and copy the hero's pose as shown on the [[Sir Aaron]] poster. Once again Ash hears a voice from the jewel. The jewel soon glows, releasing Lucario from it. Lucario, still blinded from the Houndoom's attack during the great battle, is using Aura to see and mistakes Ash's form with Aaron's due to their similar Aura.

Lucario kneels before Ash before opening his eyes and realizing he isn't Aaron. Lucario becomes confused at what is going on, seeing the many people. Lucario soon escapes through the crowd of people, running around through the castle. He sees that it has changed, and memories of him and Aaron soon start replaying in his mind as he walks about.

Lucario stops at a display room, which he remembers to be a bedroom. Ash, May, Brock, Ilene, and Jenny confront Lucario in the room. Looking at Ilene, Lucario mistakes her for Rin and is glad to see her. Ilene says to Lucario that she is the descendant of Rin, the Queen who was reigning at the castle during his time. She goes on to explain that the memories that seem to him like yesterday, are ancient events.

At the Tree of Beginning, Mew looks after Pikachu, who is resting in a bed of leaves. Meowth seems to understand what Mew is up to, seeing a large pile of toys that it has gathered. Pikachu soon recovers.

Back at the throne room, Ilene explains to Ash and company, with Team Rocket eavesdropping, the story of Aaron and Lucario. Just then, Max runs into the room, exclaiming he just saw Mew getting attacked, and it took Pikachu and Meowth somewhere. Kidd comes out of the same door, confirming what Max saw. She also says that she saw Mew transform into a Pidgeot and take them away to the Tree of Beginning. Ilene takes them out to the balcony overlooking the land and shows them the tree, explaining that the tree is actually a unique rock formation, and supposedly possesses healing powers beyond imagination. It can revive the earth and soothe angry hearts, although it requires Mew. Ash decides the only way to get Pikachu back is to go over there himself. At Ilene's request, Lucario agrees to accompany the group in their quest. Jessie and James decide to tag along to retrieve Meowth.

Kidd says that she wants to go too. Brock reveals Kidd has been on a lot of major adventure fronts, including deep-sea diving in a sub and space travel. Brock goes crazy about how much he wanted to meet her (with Mime Jr. impersonating vividly) and how it has been an honor. Kidd says that she is here for the adventure, and she has a {{wp|Humvee}} that will get them there in no time. The next day, Kidd takes Ash and company towards the Tree of Beginning, Lucario running up ahead while Ilene and Jenny stay behind at Cameran Castle. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] stow away in the trunk.

Pikachu, after waking up, sees that it is with Mew and Meowth. Mew is excited that Pikachu is awake and well, playing around with it for a moment. Meowth falls into a hole concealed in a branch stump. Pikachu goes up and pokes his head in along with Mew. They see a long vertical tunnel with green bubbles coming up. Mew hops onto a bubble, followed by Pikachu. At another branch stump up higher, the three Pokémon come out. They walk up to the edge of the land, seeing the magnificent landscape below them.

The crew takes a break for lunch. Lucario finds some Berries while he sits upon a boulder. As Brock passes out the plates to everyone a {{p|Bonsly}} takes one of them before he can get to it. Brock finds Bonsly below eating lunch. Brock scolds it but this only makes it supposedly cry. May and Ash think Brock is too harsh, but Max points out that Bonsly is only using {{m|Fake Tears}}, and the Bonsly runs away with the food. Lucario picks up the plate, offering Bonsly a Berry instead. The Bonsly runs off behind a rock, peeking behind it once in a while.

They continue to travel down to the Tree of Beginning, but they stop once more. This time, the road is littered with geysers that are erupting and then May notices something off to the side, a hot spring! They decide to stop until the eruptions subside and take a dip. Ash, Brock, Max, and their Pokémon (except {{AP|Phanpy}}) take a swim in the hot spring.

When May comes out of the Humvee from dressing, Bonsly drops upon her head from the roof who took a ride with them, so May decides to take it along. She tries to take Bonsly into the water, but the small Pokémon jumps out and hides behind Phanpy. Max explains that Bonsly doesn't like water because it is a {{t|Rock}} Pokémon. Lucario sits upon a rock, remembering the time when Aaron took him here. The memory is interrupted when Ash told Lucario to jump in, but Lucario simply walks off, Ash a bit annoyed by his cold attitude. May notices a strange-looking plant sitting high up on the rocks, and Ash volunteers to get it. As soon as he grabs it though, he slips and falls off. May catches the plant, which looks like a crystallized pod. Seeing as how it is a flower, they decided to plant it. Just before they do, the pod suddenly blooms and a holographic vision fills the area, replaying how Ash fell down the cliff as he was getting the plant. Kidd identifies it as a [[time flower]], explaining that it records events in the area at the time it was planted and then it can replay the scene at a later time when activated by Aura.

Night falls and they decide to camp for the night. Ash tells everyone [[EP001|the story]] of how he and Pikachu became partners and best friends while saving it from a flock of Spearow during the lightning storm. While Ash talks, Lucario recalls another memory of how Aaron trained him to master his Aura. Lucario suddenly walks away in disgust and calls all humans untrustworthy, and when confronted by Ash, Lucario tells him of his belief that humans and Pokémon could never be friends. Ash gets very angry at this and asks Lucario why they should believe everything he says about Sir Aaron anyway. Lucario asks Ash how he knows Pikachu was kidnapped, suggesting that maybe it just wanted to get away from a weak Trainer. This pushes Ash over the edge, and he tackles Lucario, both rolling down a ledge to a pond. The two thrash about in the pond, the others coming to try to stop the two from fighting. Lucario finally throws Ash out to the shore, jumping off to the top of the ledge and walking off.

As Ash dries off, May berates Ash for losing his cool, though he argues that Lucario said horrible things about him and Pikachu. May argues that Ash said some horrible things as well, causing Ash to defeatedly agree. Nearby, Max comes up and gives a bar of {{wp|chocolate}} to Lucario who, after some hesitation, decides to try it.

Later that night, Mew and Pikachu play about while Meowth sleeps. Pikachu smiles a bit, but it still cannot help the feeling of being separated from Ash. He puts down one of Mew's toys and looks out towards the horizon. As he says "Pikachu" out loud, Ash wakes up from his sleep and gets out of the Humvee the crew was sleeping in. He walks by, not noticing Lucario, who himself observes Ash looking towards the Tree of Beginning and saying Pikachu's name out loud.

The next day, they travel down the path, soon coming up to a stop. Lucario stands looking up at a cliff, the others wondering what is going on. Lucario tells them this was the spot that Aaron sealed Lucario in his scepter. He touches a time flower by accident and soon it replays the same scene when Lucario met up with Aaron, where Aaron renounced his loyalty to the Queen, threw his scepter down, and sealed Lucario in the jewel. Then they watch Aaron fly off. Suddenly, from the two pathways on the road, the green army charges through the small pathway. Lucario appears horrified and begins throwing {{m|Aura Sphere}}s at them, barely missing Ash multiple times in the process. Ash tells Lucario to stop because they are only illusions; Lucario does stop, shocked to have seen that event happen. Ash comes up to him, apologizing for his earlier words against him. Lucario accepts the apology and makes Ash promise to never abandon Pikachu.

As they walk back to the Humvee, Lucario senses something. At the last second, he pushes himself and Ash out of the way just as a {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regirock}} {{m|dig}}s its way from the ground. It begins using {{m|Hyper Beam}} upon the "intruders". Lucario covers for them and keeps Regirock occupied before escaping into the crevice. Along the way, Lucario tells them to make a turn at a tunnel. They follow the tunnel, and by now it seems as if they have lost Regirock. At the end of the tunnel, they come to a large cave of ancient Pokémon.

Now having made it into the Tree, the only way to get to Pikachu is by going up. Ash goes on ahead to another tunnel, followed by Lucario. Kidd takes out her specs, relaying information back to the company. Banks tells here that the tree is designed with many tunnels that form a network, like blood vessels. Kidd deploys out small helicopter gadgets to gather information about the Tree, then follows Ash.

The probes that Kidd deployed to attempt to take samples of the crystal that lie there. However, a red blob engulfs and eats them. Kidd gets a warning that the probes are rapidly being destroyed, and that some sort of immune system in the Tree has been activated, which seeks out and destroys intruders. A {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Registeel}} becomes aware of the intruders and begins to hunt them as well.

At the end of the next tunnel, Ash finds himself outside, upon one of the "leaves" of the Tree. Ash calls out to Pikachu, who hears him and calls back. As things seem to turn for the better, a {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regice}} stands in front of Ash's path and begins firing a barrage of {{m|Ice Beam}}s. Lucario battles it while Ash gets away. He retreats to the tunnel, telling the others they must find another way because Regice is up ahead. Lucario throws an Aura Sphere at it to stun it long enough to get away.

They proceed through another tunnel, finding themselves at the cliff of a large hollow cave a good ways above the ground. Blue crystal pillars stick out from wall to wall. Deciding where to go, Jessie and James find themselves in the same place, at a different entrance. They jump down to Ash and company, landing with a crash. Regirock and Registeel found them. Lucario points a way, across one of the blue pillars that run like a bridge to another exit higher up. Lucario at the end of the line finds the three Regis on their tail. He fires an Aura Sphere at the bridge's center, destroying it before they have a chance to cross.

As Jessie and James run up ahead, a red blob comes from the other side of the tunnel after them. It turns into a {{p|Cradily}} shape and swallows up Jessie. James tries to save her by sending out {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, using {{m|Pin Missile}}, as the rest of the group appears behind him. However, Jessie is eventually swallowed up. Another blob takes James, who then sends out {{TP|James|Chimecho}}, telling it to save itself. The rest of the gang comes into view and sees the stranded Pokémon.

One more red blob, this time in the shape of an {{p|Aerodactyl}}, comes after them, but Lucario destroys it with his Aura Sphere. The gang is quickly on the run again, and Cacnea and Chimecho are left standing sad and confused over what happened to their Trainers. Soon the red blobs approach from behind. The others try to find another way to get past them. One of them makes it through and almost catches Kidd, but Lucario gets in the way. The blob takes Lucario, but soon dissolves itself as the Tree does not consider Pokémon hostile.

The group soon discovers two Regis once again on their tails. As they run, they find a room with two tunnels. The group decides to split and meet up later. Brock, May, Kidd head down the right tunnel, and when Ash asks if Lucario is following, he says he won't leave until Ash finds Pikachu, knowing Ash would do the same for him. Ash thanks Lucario before sending out {{AP|Grovyle}} and {{AP|Corphish}}, using their attacks to slow the Regis down briefly before heading down the other tunnel.

Pikachu meanwhile continues using his senses to look for Ash, followed by Mew and a very tired Meowth. As they begin to travel through another tunnel, three red blobs head by them, causing Meowth to wonder what they are. Those red blobs eventually reach Kidd's group, this time first taking Max, then Brock. Not wanting his Pokémon to go down with him, Brock releases {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. May tries in vain to save her brother, who eventually disappears, at which point May is caught as well; she releases {{TP|May|Combusken}}, {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} before she is gone; Kidd, on the other hand, manages to elude the blobs. Brock's and May's horrified Pokémon (plus Bonsly) are left behind staring at the places where their trainers disappeared.

Lucario and Ash manage to lose the Regis, but they come up to a huge crevice with crystal pillars coming out from side to side. Not only is it a long way down, but strong gusts of wind blow from time to time. On the other side, Pikachu comes out from another tunnel (with Mew and Meowth still in the tunnel). Ash, happy to see Pikachu, runs out on the pillars while Pikachu does the same. Pikachu has no problem hopping from pillar to pillar in the wind, but Ash occasionally slips. He continues on when the wind gets too strong. Both he and Pikachu meet in the middle, where they jump to meet, though they soon fall. In the nick of time, Kidd uses her grappling hook to swing across and grab Ash and Pikachu, landing at the tunnel entrance where Lucario is standing. Ash and Pikachu are finally reunited, and he introduces his partner to Lucario, who is now beginning to truly understand the deeper relationship that is possible between humans and Pokémon. Grovyle and Corphish appear, then Mew shows up with Ash's hat and Meowth appears climbing down the pillars. Now the group needs to escape the Tree so travel as a group down the next tunnel.

While going through the tunnels, Ash asks what happened to the others. Kidd doesn't answer at first, making Ash realize that they were taken by the blobs. Kidd confirms this when they spot two more red blobs up the path, and Meowth is upset when told that Jessie and James have also been consumed by them. They quickly find a branch off to another tunnel, but the blobs continue right behind them. The group comes to a room with large crystal formations. Lucario goes on ahead but is ambushed by Registeel and Regirock. Registeel grabs him, giving the red blobs a chance to capture Kidd and Ash, which is what is intended. As Kidd gets "eaten", she releases both her Weavile from their {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Lucario desperately tries to free himself but is stunned by Registeel. Ash releases Phanpy and {{TP|Ash|Swellow}} and tells Pikachu to look after the others. Pikachu, desperate to save Ash, grabs onto his hand and is assisted by Grovyle and Phanpy while the other Pokémon can only watch horrified. Lucario manages to free himself from Registeel's grip and hurries to help, but it is too late: Ash is gone as the blob slips into the ground, and the crystals turn blue again. Ash's Pokémon, devastated by their loss, begin to cry. Lucario watches this, appearing hurt as well.

Mew sees how upset Pikachu is from losing Ash and flies up, touching a crystal. It begins to glow green, as well as every crystal in the area. Soon the blobs, now green, form up into mounds and dissolve away, leaving their victims behind, alive and well, just where they had been taken. As Ash is also released from the blob, Pikachu jumps into his arms and is quickly followed by Phanpy and Corphish with Grovyle and Swellow watching as all are overjoyed to have him back. Lucario observes the reunion happy to see Ash and his Pokémon reunited as well as the bond all they share. The Regis walk off, not seeing them as a threat anymore. Meowth tells Ash that Mew communicated to the Tree and was able to convince it the humans were not a threat. Ash thanks Mew for saving them as Mew tries to return Ash's hat, but it drops the hat and floats down - being caught by Kidd - and is now very weak.

Suddenly, all of the crystals turn red. While Meowth hears James's voice nearby and hurries off unnoticed, Kidd's boss says that the tree's immune system has gone into shock and the entire Tree has become unstable. Kidd tells Ash that Mew and the Tree are connected and if the Tree is destroyed, Mew will certainly die. The crystals begin to blacken and crumble and parts of the ground collapse. Ash returns his Pokémon to their Poké Balls and, with no time to lose, Mew signals and leads the group to the core room.

In this room, Lucario looks to the side and notices that there is a crystal formation with Sir Aaron's body inside it. Lucario does not understand why Aaron is here but sees his gloves nearby. Ash 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. Ho-Oh also comes in, revealing itself to be Mew. They watch as Aaron begins delivering his Aura, the only energy that would suffice, to Mew. A sphere of energy forms around Mew as he does so, while at the same time jults pulsate around his body and he grunts in pain in the process. In the end, they hear Aaron let out a loud scream, and the scene ends.

Lucario realizes that Sir Aaron did not abandon him or the kingdom but sacrificed himself to save them and that he is truly the hero everyone believes him to be. Lucario is filled with guilt for doubting his master but Mew helps him realize that the power of the Aura can restore the Tree. Lucario, seeing how he can utilize the Aura that Aaron can, declares he will be the one to do it. Lucario goes up to Mew and begins transferring energy but is soon pulled back. He realizes he is not strong enough yet to deliver the energy needed. Ash remembers that Lucario mentioned he had the same Aura as Sir Aaron and can control it as well. He puts on Aaron's gloves, which help to channel the energy. Kidd tries to stop Ash, telling him he would be sacrificing himself, but Ash explains that if he doesn't help, the Tree (as well as all the other Pokémon living in it) would die. Both Lucario and Ash begin channeling energy into Mew. As time passes and they channel more energy, it begins to strain them. Lucario looks at Ash and, at the last possible moment, pushes Ash out of the way, telling him he'll take it from there. The energy channeling completes, and Mew swiftly moves to the energy core of the Tree, the stored energy releasing a green light that restores life to the Tree. The crystals turn green and emit bright beams of light across the land as well as in the castle. Down one of the tunnels, Jessie and James note that they've somehow managed to survive, as Meowth finds them, and the three friends are happily reunited. Brock, May, and Max step outside to see the Tree is normal again.

Kidd confers with Banks and who finds out that everything is back to normal and tells Kidd that she will make a fortune from the information she has gathered. Kidd however decides not to publish this adventure and says to keep it a secret, stating that the Tree would be ruined by tourists, and Banks reluctantly agrees. Lucario stumbles down next to Aaron's crystal, exhausted and in the same condition as Aaron. Lucario's paw bumps into a time flower, activating it. This memory shows Aaron collapsing and sitting there, taking off his gloves and saying his last words. He tells Lucario that he only sealed him up because he knew Lucario would follow him no matter what otherwise. He also says that Lucario was not his servant, but his partner and friend and tearfully hopes to see him again someday. Lucario sobs, understanding now Sir Aaron's sacrifice and apologizes for failing him, but Ash assures him that it isn't true and Lucario has proved himself to be a True Guardian of Aura as well. Lucario thanks Ash and then starts to disappear. Ash begs him not to die, but Lucario tells Ash it's all right as Sir Aaron is waiting for him as he goes, turning into an orb of energy that combines with Aaron's energy and floats up to the sky (at the same time causing Aaron's crystal to disappear).

[[File:Lucario and Ash.png|thumb|220px|Lucario with Ash before dying]]
Brock, May, and Max see the tree's crystals glow again as Kidd and Ash step outside from a nearby tunnel. Everyone else sadly ponder Lucario's sacrifice. Ash, knowing that he will never forget his friend or the relationship that is possible between humans and Pokémon, states that Lucario's aura is with him.

During the credits, they find out the tapestry in the castle showing Aaron holding up his scepter has changed; it now includes Lucario, Aaron's partner, and friend, standing beside him. Ash and company take a cable car down. Along the way they see Kidd waving from her Humvee before leaving. Bonsly remains with Mew at the Tree of Beginning, both of them thrilled to have found a friend and Aaron's gloves are revealed to now be among Mew's toys. Kidd has a conversation on her phone with Banks, as the former is exploring Forina with Diane and Butler watching her. Ash and friends travel in the town below the castle while Team Rocket floats overhead, seemingly plotting another capture of Pikachu, but Wobbuffet knocks Meowth out of the balloon by accident, causing Meowth to cling to the bottom of the balloon. In what would appear to be the afterlife, Aaron and Lucario are shown standing together. Aaron takes a bite of something and reacts positively; a closeup reveals a bar of chocolate like the one Max shared with Lucario earlier. Ash and his friends travel towards a bridge and the next city, continuing their Pokémon journeys together.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sir Aaron.png|thumb|300px|[[Sir Aaron]], Knight of [[Cameran Palace]]]]
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[AG134]] and [[AG135]] in Japan.
* This movie introduces the concept of [[aura]] to the {{pkmn|animated series}} [[canon]].
* This is the second movie in which a character dies and is not resurrected. The first was ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', where {{OBP|Latios|M05}} sacrificed himself to save [[Alto Mare]] from a large tidal wave. This time, two characters died, Lucario and Sir Aaron. However, they are seen during the ending credits, presumably in the afterlife.
* This is the first movie since the fifth movie, and the only ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' movie, to have the corresponding theme song played during the opening credits (this time, it is the [[S08|Advanced Battle]] theme); however, it receives no remix.
* The [[Rota]] castle is based on {{wp|Neuschwanstein}}, a castle in {{wp|Allgäu}}, {{wp|Bavaria}}, Germany.<ref>http://www.pokemon2005.jp/staffdiary/0801.html</ref>
* In Latin America, it was the first of the ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' movies to be dubbed, and aired just after the finale of [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] and before the beginning of [[S10|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] in a special along with ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. The other two ''Advanced Generation'' movies, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', were not dubbed until early 2008.
* The strings section of the movie score is performed by Koike Strings, and was recorded on June 11, 2005.<ref>http://www.koikestrings.com/ Koike Strings official website</ref>
* In this movie, {{p|Regice}} was pronounced as Rej-i-ice; however, in [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]], it was pronounced as Rej-ice.
** Similarly, {{p|Bonsly}} is pronounced Bonsl''ee'', whereas it is pronounced as Bonsl''y'' when [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Brock catches one]].
* During the scene where Ash remembers a scene from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', an instrumental part of [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]] can be heard playing as the background music.
* The two armies of Pokémon, Red and Green, reference the original two [[core series|version]]s of Pokémon, {{game3|Red and Green|Red and Green|s}}.
* [[May's Munchlax]] is the only one of the main characters' Pokémon besides Pikachu to appear on the front cover.
** This is also the second movie in a row where a {{p|Munchlax}} appears on the front cover.
* This is the first movie in which the main featured Pokémon is neither {{pkmn2|Legendary}} nor {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, with the other being ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* When Mew is transformed into Ho-Oh in the dub, {{p|Pidgeot}}'s voice is used as well as Ho-Oh's.
* This is the first Pokémon movie not to receive a VHS release in the United States and Canada, due to the discontinuity of the format in 2006.
* This movie was made canon by ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', when Ash, being the only human in the area able to sense and use aura, is the only one who could reseal {{p|Spiritomb}}.
** Ash's aura powers have also been featured in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part Two]]'' when Ash was able to sense [[Aura Sphere Riolu]]'s presence, and in ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', where he could sense the aura emanating from {{AP|Riolu}}'s {{pkmn|Egg}}.
* This movie was in the making before its [[M07|predecessor]] was even finished.
* This movie marks the first time a [[Generation IV]] [[move]] is used in the animated series.
* The Lapras music box at the Tree of Beginning plays the same tune as {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s song.
* In the epilogue, Kidd appears to be exploring [[Forina]], a location featured in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. Two of the main characters from the movie, [[Butler]] and [[Diane]], cameo in this scene, standing behind Kidd.
* This movie was nominated for best anime feature in the {{wp|American Anime Awards}}, but lost to ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII Advent Children}}''.
* {{p|Jynx}}'s old design appears briefly when the tree of Pokémon is seen in the beginning.
* This movie was the first one to be skipped in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, even though the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} arc was dubbed in Finnish, with the second being [[M09|the next movie]]. These two movies were also skipped in the other Nordic countries.
** Interestingly enough, both of these movies take place during the aforementioned season.
** Due to {{ma|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|the next movie's manga adaptation}} being translated in Finnish, this is the only movie without a Finnish title.
* This was the last movie:
**To be dubbed by [[4Kids Entertainment]].
**To be released on VHS in Japan.
* In a February 2021 poll held by the official [[Pokémon]] website, this movie was voted the most popular movie of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.<ref>https://twitter.com/pokemon_movie/status/1358275545465819136</ref>
* After the scene where the characters get dressed up and the opening at the stadium, May's hairstyle changes from a bow to pigtails and braids. It is never explained how and why.

===Errors===
* During the introduction, where Ash is about to use Phanpy for a battle, the Poké Ball's button is large in appearance.
* In the English dub, when Mew transforms into Ho-Oh, it uses Pidgeot's voice.
* When the guests in the ballroom witness the staff glowing, a part of Jessie's sleeve is missing.
* When May admires Queen Ilene on the balcony, the pink bow on her left sleeve is discolored yellow.
* When Lucario emerges from the staff, his feet are blue instead of black.

===Dub edits===
* Battle Frontier is replaced by Advanced Battle in the opening credits.
* In the English dub, when Jessie gets dressed in her castle gown, she says that it is a wonderful outfit, while in the Japanese version, she says that James and Meowth will be her dates.
* In the English dub, when Ash asks Lucario if he would look for a lost friend, Lucario responds by saying it doesn't have friends and doesn't want any. In the original Japanese version, Lucario says the reason he went with Ash is because Queen Ilene asked him to.
* In the English dub, when talking about Aura, Max asks if Brock can show him what it looks like, and Brock says that it is probably supposed to be invisible. In the original Japanese version, Max asks if he has "hadou" as well, while Brock says that it can also be known as Aura.
* In the English dub, Brock says that Sir Aaron wasn't a hero and that he wasn't even around when the war broke out in ancient times, and Max deduces Sir Aaron must have abandoned Lucario. In the original Japanese version, Brock wonders if what Lucario said about being abandoned is true, and Max suggests that Sir Aaron sealed Lucario in the staff to save him.
* In the English dub, during the last vision of the past, Lucario merely says that he forgives Sir Aaron. In the original Japanese version, Lucario says that it would have followed Sir Aaron to help out if it wasn't sealed in the staff.
* In the end credits, Song of Origin in the Japanese dub is replaced by We Will Meet Again.

'''Poké War Games''' (Japanese: '''激突！　ポケモン合戦！''' ''Clash! Pokémon Battle!'') is a [[costume event]] in {{g|Masters EX}}. It was focused on the [[sync pair]]s {{sync|Diantha|Keldeo|Special Costume}}, {{sync|Hilda|Diancie|Special Costume}}, {{sync|Guzma|Buzzwole|Special Costume}}, and {{sync|Jasmine|Celesteela|Special Costume}}.

This event featured a main storyline—Poké War Games—which featured all four sync pairs, and sub-story areas—Battle Prep stories—for each of the featured sync pairs.

Poké War Games is contained in a separate event menu from the Battle Prep stories, consisting of several story areas. It also contained two Battle Challenges, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event {{mas|mission}}s by clearing these areas with teams using various [[theme skill]]s, earning {{mas|medal}}s and Move Candy Coins of various roles. In addition, these event missions rewarded players with Golden Spheres, one for each of the featured sync pairs. Unlike most event items, Golden Spheres are not automatically exchanged for coins.

In the Battle Prep stories, players could earn vouchers from battles that could be redeemed in the {{mas|shop}}. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battles, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

==First run==
The event first ran from October 29 to December 10, 2021. The "Diantha Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Diantha (Special Costume) & Keldeo for the duration of the event. The "Hilda Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Hilda (Special Costume) & Diancie starting on November 4, 2021 and lasting until the end of the event. The "Guzma Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Guzma (Special Costume) & Buzzwole starting on November 11, 2021 and lasting until the end of the event. The "Jasmine Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Jasmine (Special Costume) & Celesteela starting on November 18, 2021 and lasting until the end of the event.

During this run, there were four different Battle Prep stories available: '''[[Diantha's Battle Prep]]''', '''[[Hilda's Battle Prep]]''', '''[[Guzma's Battle Prep]]''', and '''[[Jasmine's Battle Prep]]'''. Each Battle Prep story could be unlocked using a Story Key, which could be obtained by completing story areas in Poké War Games. Two of the Poké War Games story areas were available at the start of the event, and a new story area was added each week until all five story areas had been added. The Battle Prep stories could be unlocked in any order. Extra Story Keys were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The Battle Challenge areas were also added over the course of the event. The first two areas, Grimsley's Battle Challenge! Part 1 and Grimsley's Battle Challenge! Part 2, became available on November 4, 2021. The second two areas, Glacia's Battle Challenge! Part 1 and Glacia's Battle Challenge! Part 2, became available on November 18, 2021.

==Second run==
The event reran from September 8 to October 3, 2022. The "Super Spotlight Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Diantha (Special Costume) & Keldeo, Hilda (Special Costume) & Diancie, Guzma (Special Costume) & Buzzwole, and Jasmine (Special Costume) & Celesteela for the duration of the event.

During this run, all the Battle Prep stories were combined into one event menu, called '''[[Battle Prep]]'''. Story Keys were no longer needed to unlock them, and as such were no longer available from completing story areas in Poké War Games. All story areas in Poké War Games were unlocked by completing the previous story area, and thus the whole main storyline could be played through without interruption. In addition, the Battle Challenge areas were available as soon as the player completed the main storyline.

If the player had obtained a Golden Sphere in the previous run and obtained the same sphere again, the duplicate sphere would be converted into a 3★ Power-Up.

==Third run==
The event reran again from December 12 to 30, 2024. Like in the previous run, the "Super Spotlight Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Diantha (Special Costume) & Keldeo, Hilda (Special Costume) & Diancie, Guzma (Special Costume) & Buzzwole, and Jasmine (Special Costume) & Celesteela for the duration of the event. Aside from small changes to battle and mission rewards, everything was the same as the previous run.

==Plot==
Filmed live by the {{player}} from his villa, [[Lear]] announces a new event that's being held to promote [[Pasio]]: the Battle of the Golden Spheres. For this event, he'll be creating two teams of [[sync pair]]s, each led by two leaders in special costumes. During the event, they'll hide five golden spheres across Pasio for the teams to find and bring back to their camps, and the team that collects the most golden spheres wins. In addition, sync pairs can take golden spheres from the other team by beating them in Pokémon battles. Cameras will follow the participants around and stream their battles to spectators, so the sync pairs need to work with their teammates to make their battles entertaining. Lear has already appointed the leaders of each team—four Trainers who partnered up with interesting Pokémon—and will give them access to his wardrobe of clothes from other regions so they can wear suitably flashy costumes. Then, to the player's shock, he asks them to help with filming during the event as well. Since Lear needs to get to his next appointment, he, [[Rachel]], and {{mas|Sawyer}} say good-bye to the audience and tell them to look forward to the event.

When the day of the event arrives, Lear summons the leaders of each team to the villa: {{mas|Guzma}}, who has partnered with {{p|Buzzwole}}; {{mas|Jasmine}}, who has partnered with {{p|Celesteela}}; {{mas|Diantha}}, who has partnered with {{p|Keldeo}}; and {{mas|Hilda}}, who has partnered with {{p|Diancie}}. The leaders exchange a few words and then head back to their base camps to begin the event. The base camp for Guzma and Jasmine's team is in a forest full of trees with red leaves. As soon as the game officially starts, Guzma is leading his team into battle. {{mas|Koga}} and {{mas|Janine}} vanish with their ninja tricks, while {{mas|Erika}}, {{mas|Valerie}}, and {{mas|Falkner}} head off together. Jasmine wants to keep up with them but finds it hard to move in her costume. {{mas|Grimsley}} appears in his kimono, tells her to move at her own pace, and offers to stay with her.

Meanwhile, at the base camp for Diantha and Hilda's team in the villa, the team captains swap stories they've heard about each other's partner Pokémon. {{mas|Wikstrom}} asks Diantha what their battle strategy should be, and Diantha poses the question to the whole group. {{mas|Lt. Surge}} suggests that they split up to look for spheres. {{mas|Siebold}} notes that it'd be safer to travel in a large group, but it would slow them down, so it's not ideal for this event. Diantha agrees that spreading out is the best strategy, so the rest of her team, including {{mas|Glacia}}, {{mas|Korrina}}, and {{mas|Fantina}}, prepares to split up and head out.

In a cave, Wikstrom, Glacia, and Siebold come across a golden sphere. The three start taking it back to their base camp, but they have to go through the other team's forest to get there. They get ambushed by Koga, Janine, and Guzma, who easily defeat them and take their golden sphere. Elsewhere in the forest, Jasmine and Grimsley battle and defeat a {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}} and two {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s from the other team, forcing them to retreat. To Jasmine's dismay, she and Grimsley haven't made it very far from camp because of how restrictive her costume is. Grimsley assures her that she can just take it easy, but she really wants to support her team. So, Grimsley suggests a strategy that uses her defensive moves to their advantage, which requires them to head into enemy territory.

By the fountain in town, Erika, Valerie, and Falkner have Hilda cornered with a golden sphere. Hilda flashes back to earlier, when she found the golden sphere in town alongside a {{tc|Collector}} and a {{tc|Rising Star}}. She noticed Falkner watching them from the shadows and suspected that he wasn't making a move yet because he didn't have backup, which gave her an idea. Her teammates were worried that the plan wouldn't work, but Hilda encouraged them to give it a try. However, in the present, Hilda's Diancie is getting beaten up by the three [[Gym Leader]]s, while some onlookers have gathered to watch the event. Hilda laughs and reveals that running away was part of her strategy all along, and Diantha's Keldeo suddenly appears and knocks the Gym Leaders' Pokémon back. Diantha arrives alongside Keldeo, and Falkner is shocked that she had time to contact reinforcements. Hilda explains that she lured them here while her teammates fetched Diantha, pretending to have no backup, and she and Diantha work together to defeat Erika, Valerie, and Falkner and keep the golden sphere. Hilda reveals that this is their team's second golden sphere, and Diantha compliments Hilda on her efforts to make the battle captivating for the audience, something that she was [[Hilda's Battle Prep|preparing for]] before the event. Then, the two team leaders head back to their base camp.

Meanwhile, Guzma has brought a golden sphere back to his team's base camp. He and Buzzwole are preparing to head back out when a {{tc|Black Belt}} and {{tc|Street Thug}} report that the enemy team stole a golden sphere from them. Guzma declares that they'll just steal the sphere back. Korrina, Lt. Surge, and Fantina are celebrating their success and preparing to bring there sphere back to their camp, but Jasmine and Celesteela arrive, having just stolen a golden sphere from two Ace Trainers on the other team. Despite their best efforts, Korrina, Lt. Surge, and Fantina are unable to defeat Jasmine, and she takes their golden sphere as well. Jasmine and Grimsley celebrate their victory, and Guzma congratulates her on her work. Suddenly, Diantha and Hilda arrive with two golden spheres of their own. Guzma notes that they've now brought together all the spheres still in play, and Diantha realizes this battle will decide the winner of the event. The team leaders exchange a few words and prepare for a showdown. Grimsley watches from a tunnel nearby, choosing not to get involved, and the four team leaders' Pokémon clash.

|Sawyer
|''Young master! I think we're ready to go!''
|-
|Lear
|''Ready with the camera, <player>? Good. Start rolling! Ahem! Sync pairs of Pasio, hear my words! I'm happy to announce that we'll be holding a new kind of event to promote Pasio! We're calling it...the Battle of the Golden Spheres! I'll explain how it works, so listen up!''
|-
|Rachel
|''Yeah, and if you, like, still don't get it after that, we'll tooootally answer any questions you’ve got later on!''
|-
|Sawyer
|''First, let's give them an overview of the event. Take it away, young master!''
|-
|Lear
|''Certainly! Here are the rules! We'll start by creating two teams of sync pairs, each led by two leaders in special costumes! We'll hide five golden spheres all over Pasio. The team that brings more of these spheres back to their camp wins the game! It's as simple as that! You can also challenge your opponents to a Pokémon battle before they get back to their camp in order to steal their golden spheres! Battle with honor! Show us your finest moves, and try to take as many golden spheres from your opponents as you can!''
|-
|Rachel
|''Uh...quick question! How're the spectators gonna know what's going on if the battles are spread out all over Pasio?''
|-
|Lear
|''Excellent question! We'll have cameras following everyone around, so all battles will be livestreamed with commentary! Don't forget that we're trying to promote Pasio with showy battles! How you make it a show is completely up to you! Winning isn't enough to be a top-class sync pair! You also have to make your battles entertaining! Only the best know how to work a crowd! Also, keep in mind that we've designed this as a team event! Coordinating with your teammates is key!''
|-
|Rachel
|''Cooliooo. Thanks for that, Master Lear!''
|-
|Lear
|''We've also prepared some special prizes for the winning team, so sign up now to join the event!''
|-
|Sawyer
|''One more question. How exactly are we going to split all the participants into two teams?''
|-
|Lear
|''Heh. I've already decided on themes for each team! Everyone can join the team that suits them the best. I've already appointed the leaders that'll head each team! Two for each, in fact! I chose them based on some rumors I heard—that there are four Trainers who partnered up with some interesting Pokémon here on Pasio! From what I've seen, they all perfectly fit my vision for each team's theme! I'll even give everyone access to my wardrobe of clothes from other regions! So be grateful! The flashier your outfit, the better! These costumes are going to help us keep Pasio in the spotlight! Just wait until you see these team leaders in their special costumes. It'll blow you away! Now then...<player>! Just like today, I'd like you to help with filming when we hold this event! Why are you so surprised? Today was enough of a rehearsal, wasn't it? Not to worry! You won't be the only one behind the cameras out there! I've arranged for a whole crew of sync pairs to be out and about filming all these battles! I even have other things planned, as well! For example—''
|-
|Sawyer
|''Young master! It's time for your next appointment!''
|-
|Lear
|''Already? But I'm not done yet! Oh, all right! If you want to know what else we have in store for this event, you can check it out when it starts!''
|-

|''Okie dokie, that's all for now! See you all on the battlefield, everyone!''

|''If this is a search for golden spheres, we should probably split up to find them!''
|-

|''Hmm... Traveling as a large group might be safer if we run into anyone who'll try to attack us... But that also means we'd lose range and mobility, so it might not be the best option for this event.''
|-
|Diantha
|''It does sound like it'd be better to spread out and search rather than stay together, then.''
|-
|Glacia
|''I see. So it's decided, right? Our plan is to spread out and look for those spheres?''

All four of the Pokémon leap off the treble clefs and land the floor where {{an|Meloetta}} in its Pirouette Forme dancing. They dance with it following its dance moves. Meloetta is then in a small screen on the bottom and there's a {{p|Scraggy}} and a {{p|Sewaddle}}. The Scraggy pulls up its "pants" as the Sewaddle looks up as it opens its leaf clothing. The scene switches to Axew, Pikachu, {{p|Smoochum}}, and {{p|Pichu}} drinking glasses of [[Moomoo Milk]] as a {{p|Miltank}} watches with a big smile on her face. The Pokémon smile once they get done drinking it. The scene switches to {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Ditto}}. The Ditto transforms into a {{p|Charizard}}, amazing the Mime Jr. as Ditto (as Charizard) roars. The scene then switches to a {{p|Lopunny}} and {{p|Gothita}} walking across gold floor looking proud. The scene switches to a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Oshawott swimming across a body of water looking somewhat determined. The scene then switches to a {{p|Vullaby}} and a {{p|Cubchoo}} shaking their bottoms to the screen. They reveal their faces. A {{p|Vanillite}}, {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, Oshawott, Axew, and Pikachu are walking on the {{pkmn|world|earth}}. Some blue dust appears transitioning back to {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{an|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Charmander}}, Pikachu, and {{p|Croagunk}} dancing Meloetta's dance moves. There was an image panning down of {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} all in their swimsuits running in a shallow body of water, Pikachu is running next to Cilan while Axew is on {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}'s back, whose leaping in the water.

==Trivia==
* Momoiro Clover Z, the idol group that performed this song, filmed a music video to accompany it. In the video, the five girls dance while wearing {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Croagunk}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} costumes. All five of these Pokémon can be seen in the fourth Japanese ending animation of {{aniseries|BW}}, which uses their song.
* The song itself can be played in the Japanese {{wp|Just Dance Wii U}} game by Ubisoft. It is said to be Medium Level, and the coach is a girl disguised as a cat. The dance actually copies {{an|Meloetta}}'s dance in the ending.

==Blurb==

 Team Flare appears to be defeated for now—Clemont has destroyed their control system at great personal cost, and Alain and Ash have battled Lysandre to a standstill. But as the villain disappears, he promises that his new world will come to pass...

Meanwhile, Mairin and Serena rescue Chespie—only to watch in horror as it’s absorbed by the mysterious Giant Rock, which changes shape to resemble Zygarde! It begins to move, heading toward the Anistar Sundial in search of more energy. Everyone is determined to stop it at all costs—including the Gym Leaders and Champion Diantha, as they join our heroes to rescue Chespie and save the world!

==Plot==
Continuing the {{pkmn|battle}}, [[Lysandre]]'s {{me|Gyarados}} uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but {{AP|Pikachu}} dodges and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}. The Atrocious Pokémon is finally defeated by a combination of [[Alain's Charizard|Mega Charizard X]]'s {{m|Dragon Claw}} and {{AP|Greninja}}'s {{m|Cut}}, followed by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. [[Alain]] claims that the fighting instinct Lysandre spoke of is a thing of the past, but the [[Team Flare]] Boss remarks that he is still intent on recreating the world. Then, he walks to the edge of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] and jumps off. Greninja tries to stop him with its tongue, but misses. [[Malva]] is shocked by Lysandre's move and falls to her knees. {{Ash}} receives a call from {{an|Serena}}, who informs him about the success of their quest. Serena then asks Ash to go to the Lumiose Gym and check on {{an|Clemont}}.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is still in their battle with [[Team Flare]]. [[Celosia]] and [[Mable]] tell {{p|Drapion}} and {{p|Weavile}} to use {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} respectively, but [[Jessie]] has her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} counter by using {{m|Mirror Coat}}, and [[James]] shoots a net to capture the Team Flare scientists and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Meanwhile, Serena and her group mates have reached the [[Giant Rock]], where {{Steven}} is trying to study the nature of the research conducted on the Rock. Suddenly, it starts to glow red, and the glass containing it shatters; [[Chespie]] is pulled towards and is absorbed by the Rock. {{an|Professor Sycamore}} attempts to stop [[Mairin]] from approaching the Rock as it changes its shape. The phenomenon causes the building to start collapsing, and everyone flees. Once outside, everyone notices the transformed Rock completely destroyed the building, causing Mairin to worry about Chespie. Steven is certain that the Rock is the source of the event, and claims that anything can happen now. With the Rock wrecking havoc in the [[Lysandre Labs]], {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s and {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s run away from the Labs, along with Team Rocket who flees on the helicopter and decide to continue with reporting the disaster. In [[Anistar City]], [[Olympia]] and her {{p|Meowstic}} note the Anistar City {{DL|Anistar City|Sundial}} glowing red, and Olympia describes it as "trembling". Meanwhile, Ash and Alain have reached the Lumiose Gym and notice Clemont grieving over [[Clembot]]'s destroyed body. Ash asks if Clembot can be repaired, but Clemont states that he will try his best, and that he hasn't been of any use so far. Serena calls Ash to inform about the Giant Rock; he, Alain and Clemont learn that it has absorbed Chespie, shocking both Ash and Alain, and has started out for [[Anistar City|somewhere]]. Professor Sycamore sends them the co-ordinates and asks them to reach the site with [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]]. When the call disconnects, Ash asks Clemont if he would like to join, and Clemont agrees, stating that the battle is not over just yet.

[[Squishy]] and {{an|Bonnie}} eventually catch up with an exhausted [[Z2]]. Bonnie tries to greet Z2, but it gets startled and runs away. It confronts Squishy and remarks about the evilness of human beings, but Squishy states that it believes in humans, as they have not given up yet. Bonnie approaches Z2 and attempts to lift it up in her arms, but Z2 is indecisive. Squishy explains how being with Bonnie allowed it to witness the hard work of people and Pokémon, and the trust between them, to achieve happiness, claiming that the humans it travels with, never give up. An excited Bonnie picks up Z2 and starts tickling it, as Blaziken Mask and Mega {{p|Blaziken}} watch from a distance, when they are approached by Ash, Alain, Clemont, and Malva in a helicopter.

Professor Sycamore and Steven report their findings to the group, and explain that the energy of the [[Giant Rock]] strongly resembles Zygarde, and since Chespie had fallen into a coma due to absorbing a part of Zygarde's energy, it absorbed Chespie, to obtain that energy back. They also claim that the Rock, in search of its new energy source, is headed towards the Anistar City Sundial, which contains energy similar to the energy Pokémon emit during [[Mega Evolution]]. Blaziken Mask wonders why the Rock is headed towards the Sundial in particular, and Professor Sycamore explains that the Rock and Sundial, coming in direct contact, would emit enough energy to destroy the world. Ash refuses to let such an event take place, and claims that they can and will stop the Giant Rock and rescue Chespie. Alain, also, comforts Mairin, claiming that he will rescue Chespie for her sake.

At the Anistar City Sundial, [[Officer Jenny]] and Olympia inspect the situation and decide to evacuate the residents of the city. With Team Rocket reporting the movement of the Giant Rock, Professor Sycamore, Steven and Serena try to destroy the Rock with their Pokémon, and send out {{TP|Professor Sycamore|Garchomp}}, {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, and {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}. After Mega Evolving their Pokémon, Professor Sycamore and Steven command them to use {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}, while Serena has her Braixen use {{m|Flamethrower}}, but the Rock summons vines to shield itself. The Rock attacks them with vines but they evade and destroy them. However, the vines eventually manage to subdue Mega Garchomp and Mega Metagross, and Braixen is knocked off the Iron Leg Pokémon. Nevertheless, she is saved in the nick of time by Alain's Mega Charizard X and Ash's Pikachu. Mega Charizard X and Pikachu use Flamethrower and {{m|Iron Tail}} to free the captured Pokémon. In [[Lumiose City]], {{an|Tierno}}, {{an|Trevor}}, {{an|Shauna}}, and [[Sawyer]] watch the event involving the Rock, and Sawyer wishes Ash to take care. Concurrently, the energy emitted from the Sundial causes the port to start melting. Ash and Greninja have managed to locate Chespie within the core of the Rock, and Greninja pinpoints Chespie's location with a {{m|Water Shuriken}} for others to target the spot; the Rock, however, keeps attacking the Pokémon with the vines, and the Pokémon are left being engaged in keeping the vines at bay. The Rock eventually manages to capture the Pokémon, but they are rescued by a massive attack, which to Team Rocket's utter surprise, is revealed to have come from all the other seven [[Gym Leader]]s and the [[Kalos]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Diantha]]'s, Pokémon. However, Diantha realizes that the combined attack did not have much of an effect on the Rock, and decides that they should regroup and come up with a different plan.

Discussing their next move, Steven informs Diantha and the Gym Leaders about the target Water Shuriken, and wishes to use the Pokémon's powers to get through, as Steven and Diantha thank each other for their help. {{an|Korrina}} greets Ash and discusses {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Greninja|Ash-Greninja}}, and Olympia congratulates him for eventually controlling the power that comes along with [[Bond Phenomenon]]. With the Giant Rock advancing towards the Sundial, Diantha advises everyone to realize their responsibility in defending the Sundial, and prevent it from coming in contact with the Rock. Malva calls out her {{p|Houndoom}} for assistance as well. Ash asks Serena to take care of Mairin and Bonnie, and Alain assures Mairin that he will return safely with Chespie. In their helicopter, Jessie and {{MTR}} comment on the spectacular defense put up in favor of Kalos, as everyone seems ready for the fight to save the world.

==Trivia==
[[File:XY Title Card Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: "Pokémon 24 Hours!" featuring the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kalos]] [[region]].
* The English dub was released on [[iTunes]] and [[Prime Video]] on December 4, 2016, six days before the episode aired in {{pmin|the United States}}. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that aired after an all-day marathon of ''{{wp|Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|Teen Titans Go!}}'' on November 26, 2016, and before January 11, 2017, when the error was fixed (''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' through ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'').
* This is the first time {{Ash}} has defeated [[Lysandre|the leader]] of a [[villainous team]] in {{pkmn|battle}}.
* This episode marks the first time in the {{pkmn|animated series}} that all eight Gym Leaders from a region physically appear at the same time.
* In this episode, {{TRT}} uses a [[Team Rocket motto variations#Rocking Kalos Defenses!|variation]] of their {{motto}}.
* This is the last episode to feature the Kalos design of [[Nurse Joy]].
* A piano version of [[Puni-chan's Song]] is used as an insert song when [[Squishy]] speaks to [[Z2]] about [[human]]s.
* A remix of {{so|XY&Z}} is used as an insert song during {{ashfr|the group}}'s fight against the [[Giant Rock]].
* A full version of [[V (Volt)]] is used as an insert song when all Gym Leaders appear (in the Japanese dub).

===Errors===
[[File:XY135 error.png|thumb|200px|The animation error]]
* The bottom half of {{AP|Greninja}} is cut off before the group looks over the edge of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] after Lysandre falls off.
* In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, when {{an|Bonnie}} approaches Z2, her English voice can be heard.

===Dub edits===
* Volt opening is replaced by instrumental brass music when the gym leaders have arrived.
* During the scene where the Gym Leaders and [[Diantha]] arrive, the original version displays each character's name and title on screen in Japanese text as they each say their own line. These texts were removed in the dub.
* XY&Z is replaced with an instrumental version of [[Stand Tall]].

==Blurb==

 Team Flare appears to be defeated for now—Clemont has destroyed their control system at great personal cost, and Alain and Ash have battled Lysandre to a standstill. But as the villain disappears, he promises that his new world will come to pass...

Meanwhile, Mairin and Serena rescue Chespie—only to watch in horror as it’s absorbed by the mysterious Giant Rock, which changes shape to resemble Zygarde! It begins to move, heading toward the Anistar Sundial in search of more energy. Everyone is determined to stop it at all costs—including the Gym Leaders and Champion Diantha, as they join our heroes to rescue Chespie and save the world!

==Plot==
Continuing the {{pkmn|battle}}, [[Lysandre]]'s {{me|Gyarados}} uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but {{AP|Pikachu}} dodges and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}. The Atrocious Pokémon is finally defeated by a combination of [[Alain's Charizard|Mega Charizard X]]'s {{m|Dragon Claw}} and {{AP|Greninja}}'s {{m|Cut}}, followed by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. [[Alain]] claims that the fighting instinct Lysandre spoke of is a thing of the past, but the [[Team Flare]] Boss remarks that he is still intent on recreating the world. Then, he walks to the edge of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] and jumps off. Greninja tries to stop him with its tongue, but misses. [[Malva]] is shocked by Lysandre's move and falls to her knees. {{Ash}} receives a call from {{an|Serena}}, who informs him about the success of their quest. Serena then asks Ash to go to the Lumiose Gym and check on {{an|Clemont}}.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is still in their battle with [[Team Flare]]. [[Celosia]] and [[Mable]] tell {{p|Drapion}} and {{p|Weavile}} to use {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} respectively, but [[Jessie]] has her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} counter by using {{m|Mirror Coat}}, and [[James]] shoots a net to capture the Team Flare scientists and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Meanwhile, Serena and her group mates have reached the [[Giant Rock]], where {{Steven}} is trying to study the nature of the research conducted on the Rock. Suddenly, it starts to glow red, and the glass containing it shatters; [[Chespie]] is pulled towards and is absorbed by the Rock. {{an|Professor Sycamore}} attempts to stop [[Mairin]] from approaching the Rock as it changes its shape. The phenomenon causes the building to start collapsing, and everyone flees. Once outside, everyone notices the transformed Rock completely destroyed the building, causing Mairin to worry about Chespie. Steven is certain that the Rock is the source of the event, and claims that anything can happen now. With the Rock wrecking havoc in the [[Lysandre Labs]], {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s and {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s run away from the Labs, along with Team Rocket who flees on the helicopter and decide to continue with reporting the disaster. In [[Anistar City]], [[Olympia]] and her {{p|Meowstic}} note the Anistar City {{DL|Anistar City|Sundial}} glowing red, and Olympia describes it as "trembling". Meanwhile, Ash and Alain have reached the Lumiose Gym and notice Clemont grieving over [[Clembot]]'s destroyed body. Ash asks if Clembot can be repaired, but Clemont states that he will try his best, and that he hasn't been of any use so far. Serena calls Ash to inform about the Giant Rock; he, Alain and Clemont learn that it has absorbed Chespie, shocking both Ash and Alain, and has started out for [[Anistar City|somewhere]]. Professor Sycamore sends them the co-ordinates and asks them to reach the site with [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]]. When the call disconnects, Ash asks Clemont if he would like to join, and Clemont agrees, stating that the battle is not over just yet.

[[Squishy]] and {{an|Bonnie}} eventually catch up with an exhausted [[Z2]]. Bonnie tries to greet Z2, but it gets startled and runs away. It confronts Squishy and remarks about the evilness of human beings, but Squishy states that it believes in humans, as they have not given up yet. Bonnie approaches Z2 and attempts to lift it up in her arms, but Z2 is indecisive. Squishy explains how being with Bonnie allowed it to witness the hard work of people and Pokémon, and the trust between them, to achieve happiness, claiming that the humans it travels with, never give up. An excited Bonnie picks up Z2 and starts tickling it, as Blaziken Mask and Mega {{p|Blaziken}} watch from a distance, when they are approached by Ash, Alain, Clemont, and Malva in a helicopter.

Professor Sycamore and Steven report their findings to the group, and explain that the energy of the [[Giant Rock]] strongly resembles Zygarde, and since Chespie had fallen into a coma due to absorbing a part of Zygarde's energy, it absorbed Chespie, to obtain that energy back. They also claim that the Rock, in search of its new energy source, is headed towards the Anistar City Sundial, which contains energy similar to the energy Pokémon emit during [[Mega Evolution]]. Blaziken Mask wonders why the Rock is headed towards the Sundial in particular, and Professor Sycamore explains that the Rock and Sundial, coming in direct contact, would emit enough energy to destroy the world. Ash refuses to let such an event take place, and claims that they can and will stop the Giant Rock and rescue Chespie. Alain, also, comforts Mairin, claiming that he will rescue Chespie for her sake.

At the Anistar City Sundial, [[Officer Jenny]] and Olympia inspect the situation and decide to evacuate the residents of the city. With Team Rocket reporting the movement of the Giant Rock, Professor Sycamore, Steven and Serena try to destroy the Rock with their Pokémon, and send out {{TP|Professor Sycamore|Garchomp}}, {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, and {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}. After Mega Evolving their Pokémon, Professor Sycamore and Steven command them to use {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}, while Serena has her Braixen use {{m|Flamethrower}}, but the Rock summons vines to shield itself. The Rock attacks them with vines but they evade and destroy them. However, the vines eventually manage to subdue Mega Garchomp and Mega Metagross, and Braixen is knocked off the Iron Leg Pokémon. Nevertheless, she is saved in the nick of time by Alain's Mega Charizard X and Ash's Pikachu. Mega Charizard X and Pikachu use Flamethrower and {{m|Iron Tail}} to free the captured Pokémon. In [[Lumiose City]], {{an|Tierno}}, {{an|Trevor}}, {{an|Shauna}}, and [[Sawyer]] watch the event involving the Rock, and Sawyer wishes Ash to take care. Concurrently, the energy emitted from the Sundial causes the port to start melting. Ash and Greninja have managed to locate Chespie within the core of the Rock, and Greninja pinpoints Chespie's location with a {{m|Water Shuriken}} for others to target the spot; the Rock, however, keeps attacking the Pokémon with the vines, and the Pokémon are left being engaged in keeping the vines at bay. The Rock eventually manages to capture the Pokémon, but they are rescued by a massive attack, which to Team Rocket's utter surprise, is revealed to have come from all the other seven [[Gym Leader]]s and the [[Kalos]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Diantha]]'s, Pokémon. However, Diantha realizes that the combined attack did not have much of an effect on the Rock, and decides that they should regroup and come up with a different plan.

Discussing their next move, Steven informs Diantha and the Gym Leaders about the target Water Shuriken, and wishes to use the Pokémon's powers to get through, as Steven and Diantha thank each other for their help. {{an|Korrina}} greets Ash and discusses {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Greninja|Ash-Greninja}}, and Olympia congratulates him for eventually controlling the power that comes along with [[Bond Phenomenon]]. With the Giant Rock advancing towards the Sundial, Diantha advises everyone to realize their responsibility in defending the Sundial, and prevent it from coming in contact with the Rock. Malva calls out her {{p|Houndoom}} for assistance as well. Ash asks Serena to take care of Mairin and Bonnie, and Alain assures Mairin that he will return safely with Chespie. In their helicopter, Jessie and {{MTR}} comment on the spectacular defense put up in favor of Kalos, as everyone seems ready for the fight to save the world.

==Trivia==
[[File:XY Title Card Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: "Pokémon 24 Hours!" featuring the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kalos]] [[region]].
* The English dub was released on [[iTunes]] and [[Prime Video]] on December 4, 2016, six days before the episode aired in {{pmin|the United States}}. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that aired after an all-day marathon of ''{{wp|Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|Teen Titans Go!}}'' on November 26, 2016, and before January 11, 2017, when the error was fixed (''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' through ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'').
* This is the first time {{Ash}} has defeated [[Lysandre|the leader]] of a [[villainous team]] in {{pkmn|battle}}.
* This episode marks the first time in the {{pkmn|animated series}} that all eight Gym Leaders from a region physically appear at the same time.
* In this episode, {{TRT}} uses a [[Team Rocket motto variations#Rocking Kalos Defenses!|variation]] of their {{motto}}.
* This is the last episode to feature the Kalos design of [[Nurse Joy]].
* A piano version of [[Puni-chan's Song]] is used as an insert song when [[Squishy]] speaks to [[Z2]] about [[human]]s.
* A remix of {{so|XY&Z}} is used as an insert song during {{ashfr|the group}}'s fight against the [[Giant Rock]].
* A full version of [[V (Volt)]] is used as an insert song when all Gym Leaders appear.

===Errors===
[[File:XY135 error.png|thumb|200px|The animation error]]
* The bottom half of {{AP|Greninja}} is cut off before the group looks over the edge of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] after Lysandre falls off.
* In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, when {{an|Bonnie}} approaches Z2, her English voice can be heard.

===Dub edits===
* Volt opening is replaced by instrumental brass music when the gym leaders have arrived.
* During the scene where the Gym Leaders and [[Diantha]] arrive, the original version displays each character's name and title on screen in Japanese text as they each say their own line. These texts were removed in the dub.
* XY&Z is replaced with an instrumental version of [[Stand Tall]].

==Blurb==

After arriving in Striaton City, Ash’s first priority is to battle for his first Gym Badge in the Unova region! But when he arrives at the Striaton Gym, Ash is surprised to discover that there are, in fact, three Gym Leaders: a trio of brothers named Cilan, Chili, and Cress. The Gym Leaders tell Ash he can choose one of them to battle, but that isn’t enough for Ash—he wants to challenge all three! They accept, and the triple match is under way.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has also arrived in Striaton City with a new assignment: finding the remains of a research facility somewhere in the area. Once there, they must collect a mysterious substance their boss calls “future energy,” which has the power to turn dreams into reality. Knowing that they are the only ones who can handle this tough mission, Jessie, James, and Meowth proceed with excitement and confidence!

Back at the Striation City Gym, Ash manages to win the first round, pitting his Tepig against Chili’s Pansear. But he and Pikachu suffer defeat in the second match against Cress’s Panpour. It’s down to the deciding match, and Ash chooses Oshawott to go up against Cilan’s Pansage—an unfavorable matchup that has Iris worried. Can our hero overcome the disadvantage to claim his first Gym Badge?

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} have finally arrived in [[Striaton City]]. As enthusiastic and ready as he was to battle, he soon realizes that he does not know where the [[Gym]] is located. {{an|Iris}} comments on Ash's behavior: typical of a 'small child', and gives a wide grin. As {{TP|Iris|Axew}} appears from within her hair and she feeds him with some fruit, a formally-dressed young man with green hair appears, his green eyes having taken notice of Axew. He recites a short prose complimenting Axew, and then talks about the positive compatibility between Iris and her Pokémon. As Pikachu watches in doubt, he makes a sound that captures the young man's attention. Ash explains that he is from [[Kanto]], the young man introduces himself as {{an|Cilan}}, a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. Ash is confused as to what that is, and Iris goes on to call Ash a little kid. Cilan assures Iris that the job is not well known outside of [[Unova]], and he explains that Pokémon Connoisseur can judge the [[friendship]] between a Trainer and their Pokémon. Ash becomes very interested and requests Cilan to examine his bond with Pikachu. However, at that moment, Iris reminds Ash about his purpose in Striaton City, and Cilan, who happened to know where the [[Striaton Gym]] is, lead the way.

Arriving at a large, grand-looking building, Ash barges in and requests a battle, only what seems like a restaurant. As the waiters, [[Chili]] and [[Cress]] greet them, Cilan reassures Ash by seating him at an empty table. The waiters attempt to take his order, offering him [[Soda Pop]], a delicious lunch, and various other consumables, but Ash is not at all interested. Finally, after a long session of pestering, Ash loses his cool, and demands a Gym Battle by shouting. Ash, enraged, proceeds to take his leave when the lights suddenly dim. He turns to see Cilan and the two waiters walking synchronously into an empty area, taking their positions. As a spotlight shines onto each of them, they briefly mention how they would battle, and reveal themselves to be brothers and the Striaton [[Gym Leader]]s. Together, they recite 'It's showtime!', and the wall behind them recedes to reveal a rocky field for battle. Ash now has to choose a Gym Leader as his opponent: Chili and his {{type|Fire}} {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, Cress and his {{type|Water}} {{TP|Cress|Panpour}} or Cilan and his {{type|Grass}} {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. However, Ash decides to take on all three Gym Leaders. Although it is the first time the Gym has ever had such a request, the brothers allow Ash to do so, and his [[Badge]] will be earned by defeating two out of three Gym Leaders instead.

The first battle is a one-on-one battle against Chili and his Pansear, while Cilan referees. Ash sends out his {{AP|Tepig}}, and starts the round with {{m|Tackle}}. Pansear is sent flying into the air, but lands softly on its feet. Chili calls for a {{m|Fire Punch}}, and with one quick blow, Tepig is sent rolling back onto the ground. Taking this opportunity to attack, Pansear follows up with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Quickly, Tepig uses {{m|Ember}} in an attempt to block the attack, but the Flamethrower hits its mark and sends dust into the air. Immediately, Pansear {{m|Dig}}s underground at its Trainer's behest, striking Tepig with a sneak attack. As the Fire Pig Pokémon struggles to get up, Chili has Pansear continue using Dig. Ash, at that instant, orders Tepig to keep running,. To combat its moving target, Pansear reappears in front of Tepig, causing him to trip and to be flung into the air. Using Dig once more, Pansear disappears underground. Ash orders Tepig to follow Pansear underground. As Pansear emerges, Tepig is biting onto its tail. Pansear performs a back-flip, but Tepig refuses to relinquish his bite on Pansear's tail. Tepig spins Pansear around by tail and tosses it across the field. While Pansear struggles to regain balance, Tepig uses another Ember and Tackles it into a wall, causing it to faint. Tepig runs back to Ash and rejoins him and his Pikachu. Cilan declares Pansear unable to battle, and the cheerleaders all sigh in disappointment. Chili [[recall]]s his Pansear, and Ash recalls Tepig as Cress steps up to battle.

The cheerleaders are now cheering on Cress and his Panpour. Ash chooses Pikachu for battle, and starts by telling him to do a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Panpour responds to Cress's command, surrounding Pikachu with its {{m|Double Team}} clones before landing a {{m|Scratch}} attack. As Pikachu lands on the ground, hurt, Cress comments on Pikachu's [[type]] advantage, which would not be very useful against ''his'' Panpour. He tells Panpour to use {{m|Water Gun}}. Pikachu swiftly dodges the jets of water aimed at him using the rocky battlefield. As Pikachu readies a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, Panpour aims its Water Gun at Pikachu's feet, causing him to lose focus as he tries to steady himself. Following that, it douses Pikachu with another Water Gun and follows up with multiple Scratch attacks. While the cheerleaders delight in hushed voices, Pikachu lies sprawled on the ground, struggling to get back on his feet. Ash commands Pikachu use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and Cress starts contemplating; he had already developed strategies against {{type|Electric}} opponents. With a big smile and glowing hands, Panpour uses {{m|Mud Sport}}, causing Pikachu to slip in mud. Panpour launches a Water Gun attack and sends its opponent flying across the field once again, causing Pikachu to faint. Cilan declares Pikachu unable to battle, and the cheerleaders go wild with excitement.

After arriving in Striaton City, the [[Team Rocket trio]] duck into the sewers to receive information of their next mission. Speaking via a monitor, {{an|Giovanni}} orders them to visit a former laboratory located at the nearby [[Dreamyard]], where they are to take control of the area’s mysterious ‘Future Energy'. He logs off and sends them the assembly instructions for the machine they need, while the Team Rocket trio, determined, now heads for the Dreamyard through the sewers.

For Ash's last battle at Striaton Gym, he sends out {{AP|Oshawott}} against Cilan's Pansage, and the choice surprises the onlookers. Oshawott looks over at its opponent and instantly retreats behind Ash’s legs to avoid facing Pansage’s menacing glare. Ash and Pikachu push him onto the field, reminding him of [[BW002|his heroism when he saved]] Pikachu and Axew from Team Rocket's captivity. After some thought, Oshawott promptly changes his mind and decides to fight for Ash. For a start, Oshawott attempts to use Tackle, but Pansage dodges it by shifting to the side, causing Oshawott to be extremely surprised at Pansage's non-aggressive response. Pansage fires a {{m|Bullet Seed}}, striking Oshawott’s back as he tries to flee. Cilan points out that Ash has lack of affinity with Oshawott. He tries to show the contrast with his Pansage, and tells his Pokémon to move towards Oshawott. As Pansage does so, Oshawott shivering in fear. Pansage Bites down on his head, leading Oshawott to walk into a rock as he tries to shake off his opponent. Ash tries to encourage Oshawott and tells him to use Water Gun, but the Grass Monkey Pokémon dodges the jets of water by repeatedly jumping, thereby causing Oshawott to feel tired from the effort. Ash pushes Oshawott on, telling him to aim carefully, yet none of the jets manage to hit Pansage. Finally, Oshawott's attacks connects. Cilan decides to intensify the battle, and calls for a {{m|Solar Beam}}. Collecting a ball of light at the turf on his head, Pansage grabs it, pulls back and shoots it at Oshawott. As the light snakes its way across the field, Oshawott, now stunned, is shocked at the thought of what is to come.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} arrive in [[Striaton City]] and meet {{an|Cilan}}, a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] and one of the local [[Gym Leader]]s, as well as his brothers and fellow [[Striaton Gym]] Leaders, [[Chili]] and [[Cress]].
* Rather than challenging just one of the Striaton Gym Leaders, Ash chooses to challenge each of the three Leaders to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, with best two out of three counting as a victory.
* [[Ash's Tepig]] and {{AP|Oshawott}} are both revealed to know {{m|Tackle}}.
* The [[Team Rocket trio]] receive a mission from {{an|Giovanni}} to capture the "Future Energy" in the [[Dreamyard]].

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Snivy}}
* {{Ash}} battles three [[Gym Leader]]s in one episode for the first time. This surpasses the record of two Gym Leaders in one episode, when Ash battled [[Tate and Liza]] in ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]''. Like this episode, one of the Gym Leaders was voiced by [[Jason Griffith]].
* Among the girls in the [[Striaton Gym]], there are [[Animated series character recycling|lookalikes]] of {{OBP|Brittany|EP243}} from ''[[EP243|Same Old Song and Dance]]'', [[Janet]] from ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', and [[Erica]] from ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''.
* This is the only time when Ash loses an official [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} and doesn't have to take a [[rematch]] against the Gym Leader he lost to in order to get their [[Badge]].
* The English [[dub]] of this episode aired one day before {{game|Black and White|s}} were released in North America and one day after it was released in Europe.
* The episode's English dub title plays on the terms "{{wp|team leader}}" and "{{wp|triple threat}}".
* Beginning in this episode's [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment, the Pokémon say their names after being revealed, like in the [[original series]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.
* Ash challenges all three Gym Leaders, much like he attempted to do [[EP007|655 episodes earlier]] with the [[Sensational Sisters]], who are also a trio of siblings like the Striaton brothers. This time, however, his request was accepted because [[Chili]], {{an|Cilan}}, and [[Cress]] each have a Pokémon able to battle.
* Ash's battle with Cress marks the first time since ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', 408 episodes earlier, that Ash does not use a Pokémon from the concurrent [[region]] in an official Gym battle.
* This episode and [[BW006|the next]] were adapted into the book [[Ash's Triple Threat]].
* {{TRT}} doesn't recite their {{motto}} in this episode.

===Errors===
[[File:BW005 error.png|thumb|200px|Pansear's red arms]]
* When Cilan sits Ash down on his table, his bag of groceries disappears.
* When {{AP|Tepig}} is spinning {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} around by its tail, Pansear's arms briefly turn red.
* In the English dub, {{an|Giovanni}} refers to the [[Dreamyard]] as the "Dream Site", a possible translation of its Japanese name.
* In the {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese}} dub, Pansear's Chinese name is mistakenly written as 炎爆猴 ''Yánbàohóu'' (lit. Flame-bursting monkey) in the subtitles of the trailer.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, while they are cheering before and during the battle, the cheerleaders cheer for Chili. In the original Japanese version, they cheer for both Chili and Pansear.
* In the English dub, Giovanni wants Team Rocket to gain complete control of the energy at the Dreamyard. In the original Japanese version, he wants them to look for clues about the new dream energy.
* In the English dub, Ash yells out {{AP|Pikachu}}'s name when Pikachu gets hit by {{TP|Cress|Panpour}}'s first {{m|Scratch}}, while in the Japanese version, he just gasps.

The '''mother and daughter''' (Japanese: '''いつもの{{tt|親子|しんし}}''' ''usual mother and daughter'') are two minor characters who first appeared in the prologue of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. Since then, they have made cameo appearances in many [[Pokémon movie]]s.

==History==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the mother was reading the history of [[Rota]] to her daughter. The little girl insisted that her mother read the story again, which her mother accepted.

In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', they were seen traveling through [[Alamos Town]] when they were buying cotton candy from a man at a stand. They were seen again when {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} attacked several Pokémon in the town square.

In ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', they were seen walking in a town while [[Zero]] attacked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} with his {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Magneton}}, and {{p|Magnezone}}.

They were seen walking past Ash and his friends during the ending credits for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

In ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', they were seen walking along the sidewalk behind [[Peg]].

In [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']], they were passed by Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} during the battle tournament in [[Eindoak Town]]. They later witnessed the [[Sword of the Vale]] being lifted into the air.

''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]], they'' appeared when Ash and his friends got off the train in [[Windy Station]] and they were seen again in the end credits where Ash, Iris, and Cilan are seen eating ice cream on a bridge.

In the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', they were among the guests taking a tour of [[Pokémon Hills]] with [[Eric]]. Their hairstyles and outfit structure are very similar to that in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', but the colors of the outfits are completely changed.

They made another appearance during the {{me|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} journal in the Japanese version of [[XY050]], where they were seen riding a plane. This segment was later dubbed as part of the [[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]]s. This marked their first appearance in the main series.

In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', we could see them when they were evacuated from the space-time collapse via one of {{an|Hoopa}}'s rings. Their hairstyles match the traditional designs, but their outfits are completely different, both structurally and color-wise.

the pair appeared in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', among a crowd watching [[Hala]] on [[television]]. Their hair colors are noticeably different: black instead of brown hair for the mother, and brown instead of orange hair for the daughter. The daughter's shirt, while similar in structure in other appearances, is colored pink-over-white rather than yellow-over-pink.

===''I Choose You!'' trilogy===
In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from {{aniseries|PTS}}, they were seen walking through an unknown town. Later at the end of the film, they were seen sitting in garden together with a {{p|Poochyena}}.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', they were seen by the veranda with a {{p|Bayleef}} watching lanterns in the sky.

In ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'', they were seen walking around [[Milyfa Town]].

===Other appearances===
In ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', they were seen during the ending credits.

In ''[[A Ripple in Time]]'', they were seen passing {{an|Cynthia}} and her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.

==Lookalikes==
Characters resembling the mother and daughter have also appeared, but with significant differences in their details, such as in their hairstyles, outfits, or general color scheme.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', a lookalike pair was seen walking through an unknown town. This pair uses the general color scheme of a teal outfit and brown hair for the mother, and a yellow outfit and orange hair for the daughter. However, their hairstyles are completely different from the usual pair (hair down instead of ponytail for the mother, and a single ponytail instead of twintails for the daughter), and their outfits are simplified to use only a single color throughout.

==Blurb==

Ash and Pikachu, along with their friends Iris and Cilan, are on a train headed to the next stop on their journey. From the train, Ash spots an injured Pokémon—one he’s never seen before. He’s trying to figure out how he can help when the train is attacked by the Legendary Kyurem, a Dragon-type Pokémon with immense power! Ash and the others barely manage to escape the rampaging Kyurem’s attack, and as the dust settles, they turn their attention to the injured Pokémon. Their new acquaintance turns out to be the Mythical Pokémon Keldeo, and it’s on a mission to rescue its friends—Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, the Legendary Pokémon known as the Swords of Justice—from Kyurem’s icy clutches!

But Kyurem’s rampage isn’t over, and it’s drawing power from Reshiram and Zekrom, changing into Black Kyurem or White Kyurem to make its attacks even stronger! Why is Kyurem attacking Ash and his friends with such unrelenting fury? How will they be able to overcome this danger?

To protect its friends, to discover true power and genuine courage, and to preserve its bond with Ash and its companions, a hidden strength awakens within Keldeo...

==Plot==
As the movie begins, the narrator gives an introduction about the Pokémon world before it cuts to a scene of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}} in a battle with a {{g|Trainer}}'s {{p|Druddigon}}. He commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the Druddigon. As the Thunderbolt hits, the scene changes to a grass field where {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}} is training with {{p|Virizion}}. It detects Virizion in the grass and uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}. As the scene progresses, and after Virizion {{m|Sacred Sword|draws its sword}}, Keldeo attempts to do the same thing but was unable to do so. It then uses its horn as the sword and clashes its horn with Virizion's sword. Later, the scene changes to rocky terrain where Keldeo trains with {{p|Terrakion}}. When Keldeo kicked, it sends Terrakion flying, and Terrakion crashes into a boulder, which falls onto it. It manages to lift that boulder with its strength and Sacred Sword. The two eventually clash weapons. Finally, the scene changes to a dead forest as Keldeo runs alongside {{p|Cobalion}}. A storm envelops the area and burns a few trees down in front of Keldeo. Cobalion notices Keldeo's actions and persistence and tells Keldeo that its actions are reckless. Keldeo exclaims that it wants to battle {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}} and when asked when it will be ready, Cobalion doesn't answer; instead, it draws its sword, and spars with Keldeo.

The scene changes to a flowing stream, where the three Swords of Justice ask themselves whether Keldeo is ready to fight Kyurem. According to Cobalion, Keldeo hasn't fully learned the weight of the sword and is not ready yet. Keldeo overhears them and tries to convince them, but to no avail. While the Swords of Justice sleep, Keldeo sneaks out and heads to [[Full Court]], where Kyurem resides. Eventually the three notice, and so they left to search for Keldeo. When Keldeo arrives, it challenges Kyurem to battle, which the Boundary Pokémon accepts. When the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}} arrive, the two are already in battle. During the fight, Kyurem breaks off Keldeo's horn with {{m|Shadow Claw}}, causing the Colt Pokémon to become paralyzed with fear. Cobalion says not to interfere, but Terrakion attempts to stop the fight to save Keldeo. This aggravates Kyurem, who shifts into White Kyurem and {{status|Freeze|freezes}} the trio, to prevent further interference. Noticing its friends frozen, Keldeo is overcome with fear and flees from the battle. Kyurem, furious, angrily declares that their battle is not yet over...

Meanwhile, Ash and {{ashfr}} are on their journey, boarding a train that leads to a city. {{AP|Oshawott}}, Pikachu, and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} are playing in the train car, later joined by {{AP|Scraggy}}. The train stops at [[Windy Station]]. Cilan notices a stall selling {{p|Darumaka}} lunch boxes and gets some for the group, along with water bottles and {{b|Oran}} Berry Pops. Ash has to carry the lunch boxes, yet he trips over Scraggy, sending the boxes flying. Fortunately, the trio's Pokémon and {{an|Iris}} manage to catch the lunch boxes. As they all board, they accidentally leave Scraggy in the station just as the train leaves, and notice he is trying to run for it. Ash urges him to jump on, but the Shedding Pokémon can't muster the strength to do so, so Ash commands {{AP|Snivy}} to fetch him with {{m|Vine Whip}}. She manages to catch him and bring him in, but suddenly, a Pokémon slips on the mountain, landing on top of the train. Pikachu notices and tells the rest to follow him. It was Keldeo, injured from its previous battle. As Ash and his friends find it, it warns them about Kyurem. Suddenly, Kyurem leaps onto the train and attacks the group, and soon was forced to jump off the train when the train enters a tunnel. Later on, they move to a cargo area of the train, where Iris tells the group about the legend of Kyurem, which she learned from the [[Village of Dragons]]' {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}}.

The train arrives at [[Roshan City]] and the group visits the Pokémon Center there so Keldeo can be treated. [[Nurse Joy]] identifies the Colt Pokémon to the group, and tells them the {{DL|Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|Generation V|legend}} of the [[Swords of Justice]]. She mentions that according to this legend, the three arrived at a forest plagued by flames from a war between human factions. Terrakion shaped an escape route into the earth, Virizion used its speed to shield the fleeing Pokémon, and Cobalion escorted the Pokémon to safety. Within the ashes of the now burned-down forest, they found a lone Pokémon—Keldeo—that they took in as their own. Keldeo is training to be a Sword of Justice.

Later, when Keldeo has been healed (except for its horn), it walks outside the Pokémon Center with Ash and his friends. Iris expresses relief on Keldeo's recovery. Ash and his friends introduce themselves and Ash asks Keldeo what happened. While a {{p|Liepard}} and a {{p|Herdier}} battle on a nearby battlefield, Keldeo tells them what it did before it met them. It also reveals that to become a Sword of Justice, one has to defeat Kyurem. After telling them how it ran away, Keldeo douses its head under a pipe. Keldeo speculates that Kyurem is probably furious, and Ash realizes that that's why Kyurem attacked them. Ash questions it, asking it if it's scared. He says that Keldeo shouldn't be scared just because it lost, which angers Keldeo. It vows to rescue the Swords of Justice right then. Ash and his friends agree and promise to go with Keldeo. First, they eat from the Darumaka lunch boxes. Ash and Keldeo eat quickly and simultaneously choke, which makes Iris call both Ash and Keldeo "little kids".

Meanwhile, at the harbor, the water freezes over. As an army of {{p|Cryogonal}} surround the area, Kyurem bursts out of the frozen lake. The Cryogonal head into the city, with Kyurem following and turning into White Kyurem. The transformation triggers another flashback of the elder showing Iris Kyurem's White Form, along with Black Kyurem. As Ash and his friends walk, the air suddenly becomes cold and the waterfall next to them freezes. Kyurem's Cryogonal army show up and attack them. The group flees, with White Kyurem and the Cryogonal in pursuit. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Kyurem, prompting it to turn into Black Kyurem and retaliate with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. Kyurem then heads to the top of the city's tallest tower. Pikachu repels the Cryogonal with {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Electro Ball}}, and as more arrive to surround them, Keldeo flies away with Hydro Pump with Ash and Pikachu holding on tight. With the Cryogonal in hot pursuit, Ash, Pikachu and Keldeo head towards a bridge where Iris and Cilan are. The Cryogonal use {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the river. Ash sends out {{AP|Boldore}} to ride across the ice with Keldeo and escape.

The group retreats into the subway tunnels. Cilan tries to open the first door, but it's locked, so Keldeo kicks it open. As they walk through the tunnel, Ash says he's kinda hungry, to which Iris calls him a kid. Keldeo asks if there are any lunch boxes left, further unamusing Iris. They come to another door, which Keldeo attempts to break open again. However, Iris stops the Colt Pokémon and pushes it open, remarking that some doors are open. They arrive at the subway station filled with train cars and other vehicles from the past. Spotting a blimp, Iris gets an idea. The Cryogonal enter through the subway tunnels, and pursue the blimp that is piloted by Iris. Ash, Cilan and Keldeo use a train car to exit the city. Keldeo thinks about Iris' plan to use herself as a diversion so they can escape. Iris teases the duped Cryogonal just as Black Kyurem arrives ad freezes the blimp with cold air, causing it to plummet towards the nearby lake. The Cryogonal then go to where Ash and Cilan went, going after another moving train car piloted by Cilan and powered by {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}. Ash and Keldeo hide behind a hut and retreat into the forest. All the while, Keldeo thinks about Iris and Cilan, while also thinking about the Swords of Justice raising their Sacred Swords to the air and delivering their oath. Ash asks Keldeo what the Swords of Justice are like, and the Colt Pokemon says that Terrakion is the toughest Pokémon he knows, nice and funny too. Keldeo says that Virizion is calm, smart, and the fastest of the three. Finally, Keldeo gets to Cobalion, the leader of the trio, who is stern in his training and says things he doesn't always understand.

Kyurem's Cryogonal are still chasing after Cilan, who sends out {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}} and has it use {{m|Rock Wrecker}} as soon as they enter the tunnel. However, their train car gets frozen by cold air from Black Kyurem. The Boundary Pokémon and its Cryogonal army head out after realizing they've been tricked again. As Keldeo and Ash continue their walk, Keldeo asks Ash why he is helping him if they just met, and Ash says they are friends. They eventually arrive at Full Court, just as White Kyurem and the Cryogonal return. Kyurem lets out a fearsome roar, which frightens Keldeo and reminds him of how his horn was broken off in their last battle. Ash remains determined, but Keldeo backs up, trembling in fear, and admitting that he lied to Kyurem about being a Sword of Justice. Ash tells Keldeo not to worry, going in with Pikachu to handle things themselves. Keldeo tries to go with them, but his fear once again gets the better of him.

As Iris meets up with Cilan, Ash looks for the Swords of Justice. The sun rises, revealing the trio still frozen. Ash sends out Boldore and {{AP|Pignite}}, having them and Pikachu use {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Rock Smash}} and Iron Tail. Ash also tries to break the trio free with a pipe, but all their efforts are halted by the arrival of Kyurem. The Boundary Pokémon tells Ash to leave, but he still tries to free the Swords of Justice. Kyurem uses Dragon Pulse, but Keldeo arrives and interferes with {{m|Focus Blast}}. Ash tells Keldeo that he knew he'd come, and Keldeo is glad that Ash believed in him. The Colt Pokémon then admits to Kyurem that he lied before about being a Sword of Justice. Kyurem comes out and says that he knew all along, wanting to finish their battle. Keldeo finds himself trembling again, but Ash reassures him that he's going to be a Sword of Justice. Keldeo realizes that he has never been alone. Refusing to run this time, Keldeo turns into his Resolute Form, just as Iris and Cilan join up with Ash. The two battle until Kyurem eventually gains the upper hand on Keldeo, using Ice Beam to freeze his leg. Kyurem turns into Black Kyurem and charges up for {{m|Freeze Shock}}. Ash and Pikachu try to stop the Boundary Pokémon with Thunderbolt, but Keldeo fires a warning Focus Blast at them, wanting to keep fighting on. Breaking out of the ice with Hydro Pump, Keldeo uses {{m|Double Team}} and Focus Blast, the impact of the attack colliding with Kyurem's Freeze Shock freeing the Swords of Justice. The trio praise Ash and his friends and thank them for saving Keldeo. Keldeo continues the fight against Kyurem, but quickly starts running out of steam as the Boundary Pokémon knocks him back with Shadow Claw. Iris begs the Swords of Justice to step in, but they insist that this is Keldeo's battle, not theirs. Keldeo doesn't give in, avoiding Kyurem's attacks while remembering the advice given to him by the Swords of Justice. Keldeo uses Focus Blast and rams into the attack increase its impact on Kyurem, throwing it out of the arena.

The Swords of Justice praise Keldeo's progress, knowing all he needs to do now is use his Sword. Black Kyurem arrives and uses Freeze Shock, which freezes Keldeo. While encased in the ice, Keldeo starts glowing bright yellow and bursts out using {{m|Secret Sword}}. He gains the upper hand over Kyurem using this move, countering its Dragon Pulse as the Boundary Pokémon praises Keldeo's true power. Keldeo and Kyurem meet each other with Freeze Shock and Focus Blast. The Freeze Shock suddenly heads towards Ash, Iris and Cilan, but Keldeo jumps in from of them and slices the attack in half with a massive Secret Sword. However, the explosion causes the Colt Pokémon heavy damage as he falls over. Kyurem suddenly stops the fight, having seen that Keldeo protected his new friends rather than claiming victory, saying that he has a fine Sword. As Kyurem walks off, Keldeo changes back to his normal form, his horn restored. Cobalion, having seen Keldeo's desire to protect Ash and his friends, tells Keldeo that he now knows the true weight of the Sword. Suddenly, the steel beams start collapsing, so the group retreats. White Kyurem uses {{m|Ice Burn}} to freeze all the falling debris.

The Swords of Justice congratulate Keldeo on becoming one of them, as do Ash and his friends. With that, the Swords of Justice recite their oath, this time with Keldeo joining them in his Resolute Form.

==Trivia==
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[BW087]] and [[BW088]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime before the aforementioned episodes, as {{an|Dawn}} was in {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|group}} at that point, and they were also accompanied by {{an|Meloetta}}. This arc cannot be interrupted, therefore it must take place some time before [[BW082]], which was when Meloetta started following Ash and his friends or after [[BW097]] when Meloetta left the group.
* This is the fourth consecutive movie in which Ash and his friends do not encounter {{TRT}}.
** This is also the only movie in which [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} do not have speaking roles. Instead, they only make brief cameo appearances in the introduction, ending credits, and small scenes during the actual story.
* Despite being released during ''Best Wishes! Season 2'', this movie does not feature any pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon other than {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}}, outside of the "Pokémon World" intro scene.
** The cameo of {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}} in the intro marks the appearance of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
** The intro also marks the first animated series appearances of {{p|Jynx}} and {{p|Kadabra}} since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.
* In {{pmin|Australia}} and {{pmin|New Zealand}}, this movie received a theatrical release, and special screenings were held at selected Hoyts Cinemas for two consecutive weekends; February 16 and 17, and February 23 and 24.
* This movie is the first since ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' to have [[PK24|a Pikachu short]] distributed alongside it.
* With a length of 72 minutes, this is the shortest of all the Pokémon movies to date.
* The {{p|Darumaka}} boxed lunches seen in this movie later reappear in ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', being eaten by [[James's Morpeko]].

===Errors===
* Kyurem was able to freeze the three Swords of Justice with {{m|Ice Burn}}, and Keldeo with {{m|Freeze Shock}}. This is inconsistent with the Pokémon games, as Ice Burn and Freeze Shock cause {{status|burn}} and {{status|paralysis}}, respectively.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, during the first half of the movie, the Swords of Justice are called the "''Swords of Destiny''."

===Dub edits===
[[File:Movie15Title.png|thumb|300px|Opening title montage]]
* In the Japanese version, during the opening title sequence, the number 15 is created using snapshots from the previous fourteen movies; this is omitted in the dub.
* [[Be an Arrow!]] is replaced by [[Rival Destinies]] as the opening theme.
* Cartoon Network and YTV's airing of this movie uses a shorter cut provided by [[The Pokémon Company International]]. A number of scenes are either excluded or rearranged in order to reduce the movie's running time.
** The [[title card]] sequence is moved to immediately after the "World of Pokémon" segment, while the scenes of Keldeo training and battling Kyurem for the first time – which are before the title card in the original cut – are moved to after it.
** The battle between {{un|Kanata}} and [[Misaki]] is mostly cut out, leaving only a shot of them in the background.
** All scenes from the ending credits are removed, leaving absent events such as the blimp being returned to the museum. The edited credit roll simply plays the credits over a black background and uses a brief instrumental song.
* [[Memories]] is replaced by [[It's All Inside of You]] as the ending theme.

'''Mimi''' is a minor character who appeared in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''.

He was sitting with his family aboard the same train as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, when {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Scraggy}}, and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} ran through their section, much to their delight. While Ash and his friends visited [[Malin]]'s food stall as the train stopped at [[Windy Station]], Mimi and his sisters were seen having ice cream cones that resembled Vanillite. They were delighted to see Malin's {{p|Vanillite}} handing out some {{b|Oran}} Ice to the group.

He and his family made a cameo during the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', where they were having a tour at [[Pokémon Hills]]. Their outfit's colors are changed and different from the ones in the previous movie.

| <ab>Our relationship is a casual one to the point that we can talk about anything
We've been together a long time, but nothing's changed, has it?

Even the mood that gets set up with such pains gets poked fun at and is brought to an end
I can't speak my mind, I can't add parentheses

The sun shines scorchingly, my T-shirt is drenched in sweat
It's like I'm all damp, I'll never get dry

I ran into a convenience store to escape and bought a nostalgic comic book
How would it be if you were here? Would you laugh with me?

We've been acting it out for so many years, casted as best friends
The distant feeling is okay but it would be tough if I could say my true intents

You say it's easy to discuss but you're always talking about your love life
I keep it inside my delicate heart to not be found out

I want the smile reflected deep in my eyes to only belong to me
For whatever reason, it won't be burned in there

If I softly peek into the viewfinder
It seems like you're even further and further away than I imagined
Someday you'll disappear with someone
If I look up, there's a jet plane tearing the blue sky in half

The summer is flying away to the distant sky
The seasons are already passing by

I'm just a blockhead standing awkwardly amidst the heat haze
Even in this blurred world, only you remain without distortion

The syndrome called "friendship" is a perpetual labyrinth without exit
It's frightening even to move so I can't take a step forward

The ice cream that I had meant to eat has melted all over
Destiny doesn't wait

Though I want to encounter it right now
Maybe I'll try calling it out with an unusually serious voice
If I had taken it away like that
I might already be able to vigorously convey the feelings I hold

Ah, yes, if I look through the viewfinder
I hope that you look close enough that I could reach my hands to you
If happiness increases, it's not a big deal
When I'm with you, no matter when, you always seem to sparkle</ab>

'''Hydrapple''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カミツオロチ''' ''Kamitsuorochi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dipplin}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Dragon Cheer}}. It is one of {{p|Applin}}'s final forms, the others being {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}}.

==Biology==
[[File:1019 Hydrapple Dream.png|thumb|200px|left|Five of Hydrapple's syrpents emerge as heads, while the rest emerge as tails.]]
Hydrapple is a Pokémon composed of seven symbiotic creatures known as "syrpents" living within an apple-shaped structure completely made of red syrup.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/hydrapple/ Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Hydrapple]</ref> Each syrpent has green, leaf-shaped eyestalks with yellow eyes; a long green body with a pale yellow underbelly; and a tail tipped with leafy green ornaments.

Three of the seven syrpents are always visible outside of the syrup apple: the central syrpent, which is the dominant entity in the system, rises from the center of the apple;<ref name=SVsite/> and two of the syrpents' tails emerge from its rear. The central syrpent has the longest body and is further distinguished by its two horns. The left horn has an apple impaled on it, which appears to be the same apple that the Pokémon inhabited when it was an {{p|Applin}}. The four other syrpents composing Hydrapple are usually hidden within the syrup, with only the tops of their closed eyestalks visible from without. Sometimes, the four hidden syrpents emerge from the syrup so that five of Hydrapple's heads are visible. To move, Hydrapple's two tail syrpents work together to push its entire body across the ground.

The seven syrpents that form Hydrapple have inconstant and fickle temperaments, and rarely work together as a team. On the rare occasion that the syrpents' moods align, Hydrapple unleashes its full power.<ref name=SVsite/>

Hydrapple and its pre-Evolution {{p|Dipplin}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Syrup Bomb}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Supersweet Syrup}} as an [[Ability]]. Hydrapple is also the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Fickle Beam}}.

===Evolution===
Hydrapple evolves from {{p|Dipplin}} and is one of the final forms of {{p|Applin}}.

==Trivia==
* Hydrapple is the only one of {{p|Applin}}'s evolutionary relatives to be a third-stage evolution.
** Hydrapple appears in the [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]], despite none of its evolutionary relatives appearing in it, which also makes it the only member of Applin's evolutionary relatives with this distinction.
* Dipplin and Hydrapple are the only:
** Evolutionary relatives introduced within a single [[generation]] that are not next to each other in [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] order, with Dipplin being number 1011 and Hydrapple being number 1019.
** {{type|Dragon}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies}}.
* Hydrapple's existence was indicated before the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] by the fact that Dipplin could use the [[Eviolite]].
* Hydrapple is the only Pokémon that requires a [[TM]] to obtain, as Dipplin cannot learn {{m|Dragon Cheer}} without it.
* As [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] are exclusive to {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Hydrapple is the only one of Applin's final forms to not have a Gigantamax form.

===Origin===
Hydrapple seems to be inspired by multiheaded serpent-like monsters from various myths, such as the {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}, an eight-headed dragon or serpent from {{wp|Japanese mythology}}; {{wp|Hachirōgata|Hachirō-Tarō}} or {{jwp|八の太郎大蛇伝説|Hachi no Tarō no Daija}} (where ''daija'' is an alternative reading of ''orochi''), a similar creature in the local myths of Northern {{wp|Tōhoku region|Tōhoku}}, which [[Kitakami]] is based on; the {{wp|Lernaean Hydra}}, a many-headed serpentine monster from {{wp|Greek mythology}}; and {{wp|Ladon (mythology)|Ladon}}, the multi-headed dragon from {{wp|Greek mythology}} that guarded the {{wp|golden apple}}s in the {{wp|Hesperides|Garden of the Hesperides}}, historically said to be located in the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}} or the {{wp|Canary Islands}}. The fact that the syrpents' moods rarely align may be a reference to the golden {{wp|Apple of Discord}}. Like its evolutionary relatives, Hydrapple also appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an apple, as well as a pun on the {{wp|wyrm}}, a type of dragon — hence its {{t|Dragon}} typing. It also has visual similarities with {{wp|candy apple}}s and the [[Gigantamax]] forms of {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}}, while its {{Shiny}} coloration may be inspired by {{wp|caramel apple}}s or a {{wp|golden apple}}.

The connection between the syrpents and the apple present in Hydrapple's design could draw inspiration from the real Biblical story of the {{wp|original sin}}, in which a {{wp|Serpents in the Bible|serpent}} tempts Eve into eating the {{wp|forbidden fruit}}, commonly represented as an {{wp|Apple (symbolism)|apple}} in {{wp|Western Christianity}} from a Latin-based pun on ''mālum'' (apple) and ''malum'' (evil). Along these lines, Hydrapple's seven syrpents could reference the number of {{wp|Seven deadly sins|cardinal sins}} or the {{wp|The Beast (Revelation)|seven-headed beast}} from the {{wp|Book of Revelation}}. Alternatively, these may reference the number of {{wp|Archon (Gnosticism)|archon}}s (including the {{wp|Demiurge|creator god}}) in {{wp|Gnosticism}}, commonly associated with the {{wp|Classical planet|seven luminaries}}, as well as the Gnostic depiction of {{wp|Leviathan}} as the world serpent. The physical world is considered intrinsically flawed and chaotic in Gnosticism. This may explain Hydrapple's signature move {{m|Fickle Beam}}, which is doubled in power when the seven syrpents are aligned at random.

Since Hydrapple was introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]], it may also be a visual pun on the {{wp|Big Apple}}, a nickname for {{wp|New York City}} (the location [[Unova]], where [[Blueberry Academy]] is located, is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]]).

====Name origin====
Hydrapple may be a combination of ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|Hydra}}'', ''dragon'', and ''apple''. The term "syrpent" may be a combination of ''syrup'' or ''wyrm'' and ''serpent''.

Kamitsuorochi may be a combination of 果 ''ka'' (fruit), 花蜜 ''kamitsu'' (nectar), and 八岐大蛇 ''{{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}''.

==Blurb==

Hundreds of years ago, Camaron Palace and its people were saved by the noble sacrifice of Sir Aaron, an Aura Knight. From that day forward the people have always honored his deeds with an annual festival. Of course, Ash isn't really much of a history buff—he's more interested in the Pokémon competition being held! Only when he wins and is asked to don the ceremonial role of Aura Guardian does Aaron's importance become clear—especially when Lucario emerges from Aaron's staff! Aaron isn't a hero to this long-dormant Pokémon—all Lucario remembers is the master that betrayed it!

Left out of the battle all those hundreds of years before, Lucario is asked to be a hero again—Mew has shown up and whisked Pikachu and Meowth away to the Tree of Life, and only Lucario can lead the way! Can Lucario put aside its distrust of humans long enough to reunite Ash with his best friend?

==Plot==
{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} jumps from boulder to boulder to a spot overseeing a wide expansive valley. Lucario senses something and uses its [[Aura]] to see the entire landscape. Lucario lets his sight travel about, going over more rocks and hills until he sees a large formation of a gigantic, red-armored Pokémon army, mixed with human foot soldiers, that is charging towards the middle of the valley. He looks to the other side of the valley and sees an equally gigantic, green-armored army, with equally powerful Pokémon of different species charging to the same destination.

As Lucario is comprehending the danger of the event, three {{p|Houndoom}} from the red army arrive at the scene, which Lucario evades and leaps away. He heads to a crystal formation on the ground, touching it, and then speaks through the crystal to his master, [[Sir Aaron]], an Aura Guardian, who is at [[Cameran Palace]]. Aaron stands upon a balcony with Queen Rin that overlooks the entire land, and he hears Lucario's voice coming from another crystal formation on the balcony. It seems the palace is in imminent danger of being overrun; peace cannot be brought to the two warring sides.

The three Houndoom find Lucario and proceed to attack him. After being cornered, he is left no choice and fights back. Although he is able to defeat his pursuers, he gets dirt in his eyes and is blinded, forcing him to use aura to see.

Knowing that Aaron must leave, Rin explains she is obliged as queen to share the same fate as the castle. After their last exchange of words, Aaron hops a ride on his {{p|Pidgeot}} to the valley. When he lands he sees Lucario catching up to him. Aaron tells Lucario to leave, as he has abandoned the palace and the Queen and will not be returning. Lucario cannot believe what he is hearing and implores him to wait, but Aaron throws down his scepter, which absorbs Lucario into a jewel at its top; from within the jewel, Lucario can see Aaron going off and feels betrayed by his master.

Rin observes from afar that the [[Tree of Beginning]] is suffering from the conflict. The two armies clash in the middle of the valley. Outside of the tree, Pidgeot flies away alone. With this, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tree of the Beginning, revealing itself to be {{mov|Mew|Mew|08}}.

Pidgeot approaches Rin with the scepter in its beak, which she takes. Suddenly, Rin witnesses the sight of the tree starting 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 is taking place.

Hundreds of years later, a mother reads the story to her daughter. According to legend, Queen Rin believed Aaron to be the hero who had used the power of the Tree of Beginning, where Mew is said to live. The two armies stopped their fighting, their hatred replaced with understanding, and returned to their lands, and peace was restored. Aaron became known as the True Guardian of Aura, without whom peace would have not been restored. To this day, the legend is commemorated every year in the town of [[Rota]] and the same [[Cameran Palace]].

{{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[Max]] happened to come to the town during this time and decided to participate in a tournament to decide who will be the "Hero of the Year." Ash and company walk along a bridge to Cameran Palace. They are dressed in their regular clothes while the townsfolk are in renaissance outfits. Meanwhile, a {{p|Taillow}} overhead lands on a window of the Palace, turning into a {{p|Pichu}}. In another room, Ash and company find a costume closet and decide to dress more appropriately. They later hurry to the tournament that is about to begin.

Before the tournament begins, [[Queen Ilene]], the ruler of the palace along with her maid {{mov|Jenny|3=08}} and her Pokémon {{p|Mime Jr.}}, steps out to the royal box seat to officially begin the tournament. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} eventually win and Ash becomes the "Hero of the Year".

Ash then walks up to meet his opponent from the finals and is surprised to discover the Trainer is a girl. She introduces herself as [[Kidd Summers]]. Ilene then announces that there will be a ball and banquet in honor of the new "Guardian of the Aura". Ash is presented to sit on a throne that overlooks the ballroom. Ilene presents Ash with Aaron's scepter. He suddenly hears a voice from the jewel crying "Why?". A confused Ash asks if anyone else heard it, but nobody did. Shrugging it off, the ball soon begins.

With the new company, Mew (in the form of an {{p|Aipom}}) takes the Pokémon posse about through the castle. {{MTR}}, who is helping himself to some food underneath the table, hears them and decides to follow them but is unable to. Mew directs the Pokémon to the attic directly above the ballroom chandelier and shows the Pokémon a few toys, which the group begins to play with. After a bit, Mew transforms from Aipom into {{p|Pikachu}} and begins dancing with Ash's Pikachu.

Kidd slips away from the ball in the same direction the Pokémon 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, Meowth noticing and follows. She climbs up to the rooftop before shooting a grappling rod to a tower across the castle grounds. She jumps off from one roof to the next. Meowth only goes so far, before he slips down the sloped rooftop. His tail grabs a hold of a decorative steeple rod, but he ends up swinging down and crashing into a window, ending up in the attic where the other Pokémon are located.

Ash sits upon the throne, a bit bored. He asks if he could get some food, but Jenny keeps him down on the throne, telling him to act like the hero, Sir Aaron. Max notices their Pokémon are missing until he spots {{TP|May|Munchlax}} nabbing a plate of fruit and going back upstairs with it; Max follows Munchlax to the top.

Kidd manages to get to a good vantage point on the roof where she can see through the broken glass Meowth made. She sees Mew and then puts on a pair of special glasses and begins reporting information to her boss, [[Banks]].

In the attic, Mew takes on its original form, looking at Meowth to see if he is alright. Taking this chance, Kidd sends out two {{p|Weavile}} and orders them to place a tracking device on Mew. Both of them jump into the broken window and begin a swift attack at Mew. Mew dodges their assaults easily. In an attempt to stop Mew, both of them use {{m|Blizzard}} just as Mew flies towards the door. At the same moment, Munchlax comes into the room and finds itself frozen in a block of ice. The door also freezes at its hinges and cracks.

Mew is soon held down though, and just when one of the Weavile is about to attach the tracker on Mew, Pikachu shocks the Sharp Claw Pokémon with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Mew escapes, but the Weavile try another Blizzard attack. Both Meowth and Pikachu dodge, the attack hits the other Pokémon, freezing them. Kidd notices this and figures that the plan did not go as well as expected. Mew then flies over towards Meowth who is at a corner and transforms into a Meowth. Mew switches itself and Meowth around to confuse the Weavile, but Meowth speaks and ruins the plan. Soon, the Weavile used their {{m|Ice Beam}} together to make it stronger, which sends Pikachu flying into Meowth's arms. Meanwhile, Max arrives and finds the door hard to open.

With Pikachu unconscious and the other Pokémon frozen, both Mew and Meowth are on their own. Mew transforms back to its original self. Max finally gets the door open, but only a crack as he watches what goes on. Mew soon {{m|teleport}}s before the Weavile can do anything else. The three teleport to one of the tower's steeples, and then Mew transforms into a Pidgeot and flies off, towards the Tree of Beginning.

[[File:Ash Aura Guardian.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash as an Aura Guardian]]
Back at the ball, Jenny tells Ash to stand up and copy the hero's pose as shown on the [[Sir Aaron]] poster. Once again Ash hears a voice from the jewel. The jewel soon glows, releasing Lucario from it. Lucario, still blinded from the Houndoom's attack during the great battle, is using Aura to see and mistakes Ash's form with Aaron's due to their similar Aura.

Lucario kneels before Ash before realizing he isn't Aaron. Lucario becomes confused at what is going on, seeing the many people. Lucario soon escapes through the crowd of people, running around through the castle. He sees that it has changed, and memories of him and Aaron soon start replaying in his mind as he walks about.

Lucario stops at a display room, which he remembers to be a bedroom. Ash, May, Brock, Ilene, and Jenny confront Lucario in the room. Looking at Ilene, Lucario mistakes her for Rin and is glad to see her. Ilene says to Lucario that she is the descendant of Rin, the Queen who was reigning at the castle during his time. She goes on to explain that the memories that seem to him like yesterday, are ancient events.

At the Tree of Beginning, Mew looks after Pikachu, who is resting in a bed of leaves. Meowth seems to understand what Mew is up to, seeing a large pile of toys that it has gathered. Pikachu soon recovers.

Back at the throne room, Ilene explains to Ash and company, with Team Rocket eavesdropping, the story of Aaron and Lucario. Just then, Max runs into the room, exclaiming he just saw Mew getting attacked, and it took Pikachu and Meowth somewhere. Kidd comes out of the same door, confirming what Max saw. She also says that she saw Mew transform into a Pidgeot and take them away to the Tree of Beginning. Ilene takes them out to the balcony overlooking the land and shows them the tree, explaining that the tree is actually a unique rock formation, and supposedly possesses healing powers beyond imagination. It can revive the earth and soothe angry hearts, although it requires Mew. Ash decides the only way to get Pikachu back is to go over there himself. At Ilene's request, Lucario agrees to accompany the group in their quest. Jessie and James decide to tag along to retrieve Meowth.

Kidd says that she wants to go too. Brock reveals Kidd has been on a lot of major adventure fronts, including deep-sea diving in a sub and space travel. Brock goes crazy about how much he wanted to meet her (with Mime Jr. impersonating vividly) and how it has been an honor. Kidd says that she is here for the adventure, and she has a {{wp|Humvee}} that will get them there in no time. The next day, Kidd takes Ash and company towards the Tree of Beginning, Lucario running up ahead while Ilene and Jenny stay behind at Cameran Castle. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] stow away in the trunk.

Pikachu, after waking up, sees that it is with Mew and Meowth. Mew is excited that Pikachu is awake and well, playing around with it for a moment. Meowth falls into a hole concealed in a branch stump. Pikachu goes up and pokes his head in along with Mew. They see a long vertical tunnel with green bubbles coming up. Mew hops onto a bubble, followed by Pikachu. At another branch stump up higher, the three Pokémon come out. They walk up to the edge of the land, seeing the magnificent landscape below them.

The crew takes a break for lunch. Lucario finds some Berries while he sits upon a boulder. As Brock passes out the plates to everyone a {{p|Bonsly}} takes one of them before he can get to it. Brock finds Bonsly below eating lunch. Brock scolds it but this only makes it cry. May and Ash think Brock was too harsh, but Max points out that Bonsly is only using {{m|Fake Tears}}, and the Bonsly runs away with the food. Lucario picks up the plate, offering Bonsly a Berry instead. The Bonsly runs off behind a rock, peeking behind it once in a while.

They continue to travel down to the Tree of Beginning, but they stop once more. This time, the road is littered with geysers that are erupting and then May notices something off to the side, a hot spring! They decide to stop until the eruptions subside and take a dip. Ash, Brock, Max, and their Pokémon (except {{AP|Phanpy}}) take a swim in the hot spring.

When May comes out of the Humvee from dressing, Bonsly drops upon her head from the roof who took a ride with them, so May decides to take it along. She tries to take Bonsly into the water, but the small Pokémon jumps out and hides behind Phanpy. Max explains that Bonsly doesn't like water because it is a {{t|Rock}} Pokémon. Lucario sits upon a rock, remembering the time when Aaron took him here. The memory is interrupted when Ash told Lucario to jump in, but Lucario simply walks off, Ash a bit annoyed by his cold attitude. May notices a strange-looking plant sitting high up on the rocks, and Ash volunteers to get it. As soon as he grabs it though, he slips and falls off. May catches the plant, which looks like a crystallized pod. Seeing as how it is a flower, they decided to plant it. Just before they do, the pod suddenly blooms and a holographic vision fills the area, replaying how Ash fell down the cliff as he was getting the plant. Kidd identifies it as a [[time flower]], explaining that it records events in the area at the time it was planted and then it can replay the scene at a later time when activated by Aura.

Night falls and they decide to camp for the night. Ash tells everyone [[EP001|the story]] of how he and Pikachu became partners and best friends while saving it from a flock of Spearow during the lightning storm. While Ash talks, Lucario recalls another memory of how Aaron trained him to master his Aura. Lucario suddenly walks away in disgust and calls all humans untrustworthy, and when confronted by Ash, Lucario tells him of his belief that humans and Pokémon could never be friends. Ash gets very angry at this and asks Lucario why they should believe everything he says about Sir Aaron anyway. Lucario asks Ash how he knows Pikachu was kidnapped, suggesting that maybe it just wanted to get away from a weak Trainer. This pushes Ash over the edge, and he tackles Lucario, both rolling down a ledge to a pond. The two thrash about in the pond, the others coming to try to stop the two from fighting. Lucario finally throws Ash out to the shore, jumping off to the top of the ledge and walking off.

As Ash dries off, May berates Ash for losing his cool, though he argues that Lucario said horrible things about him and Pikachu. May argues that Ash said some horrible things as well, causing Ash to defeatedly agree. Nearby, Max comes up and gives a bar of {{wp|chocolate}} to Lucario who, after some hesitation, decides to try it.

Later that night, Mew and Pikachu play about while Meowth sleeps. Pikachu smiles a bit, but it still cannot help the feeling of being separated from Ash. He puts down one of Mew's toys and looks out towards the horizon. As he says "Pikachu" out loud, Ash wakes up from his sleep and gets out of the Humvee the crew was sleeping in. He walks by, not noticing Lucario, who himself observes Ash looking towards the Tree of Beginning and saying Pikachu's name out loud.

The next day, they travel down the path, soon coming up to a stop. Lucario stands looking up at a cliff, the others wondering what is going on. Lucario tells them this was the spot that Aaron sealed Lucario in his scepter. He touches a time flower by accident and soon it replays the same scene when Lucario met up with Aaron, where Aaron renounced his loyalty to the Queen, threw his scepter down, and sealed Lucario in the jewel. Then they watch Aaron fly off. Suddenly, from the two pathways on the road, the green army charges through the small pathway. Lucario appears horrified and begins throwing {{m|Aura Sphere}}s at them, barely missing Ash multiple times in the process. Ash tells Lucario to stop because they are only illusions; Lucario does stop, shocked to have seen that event happen. Ash comes up to him, apologizing for his earlier words against him. Lucario accepts the apology and makes Ash promise to never abandon Pikachu.

As they walk back to the Humvee, Lucario senses something. At the last second, he pushes himself and Ash out of the way just as a {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regirock}} {{m|dig}}s its way from the ground. It begins using {{m|Hyper Beam}} upon the "intruders". Lucario covers for them and keeps Regirock occupied before escaping into the crevice. Along the way, Lucario tells them to make a turn at a tunnel. They follow the tunnel, and by now it seems as if they have lost Regirock. At the end of the tunnel, they come to a large cave of ancient Pokémon.

Now having made it into the Tree, the only way to get to Pikachu is by going up. Ash goes on ahead to another tunnel, followed by Lucario. Kidd takes out her specs, relaying information back to the company. Banks tells here that the tree is designed with many tunnels that form a network, like blood vessels. Kidd deploys out small helicopter gadgets to gather information about the Tree, then follows Ash.

The probes that Kidd deployed to attempt to take samples of the crystal that lie there. However, a red blob engulfs and eats them. Kidd gets a warning that the probes are rapidly being destroyed, and that some sort of immune system in the Tree has been activated, which seeks out and destroys intruders. A {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Registeel}} becomes aware of the intruders and begins to hunt them as well.

At the end of the next tunnel, Ash finds himself outside, upon one of the "leaves" of the Tree. Ash calls out to Pikachu, who hears him and calls back. As things seem to turn for the better, a {{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regice}} stands in front of Ash's path and begins firing a barrage of {{m|Ice Beam}}s. Lucario battles it while Ash gets away. He retreats to the tunnel, telling the others they must find another way because Regice is up ahead. Lucario throws an Aura Sphere at it to stun it long enough to get away.

They proceed through another tunnel, finding themselves at the cliff of a large hollow cave a good ways above the ground. Blue crystal pillars stick out from wall to wall. Deciding where to go, Jessie and James find themselves in the same place, at a different entrance. They jump down to Ash and company, landing with a crash. Regirock and Registeel found them. Lucario points a way, across one of the blue pillars that run like a bridge to another exit higher up. Lucario at the end of the line finds the three Regis on their tail. He fires an Aura Sphere at the bridge's center, destroying it before they have a chance to cross.

As Jessie and James run up ahead, a red blob comes from the other side of the tunnel after them. It turns into a {{p|Cradily}} shape and swallows up Jessie. James tries to save her by sending out {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, using {{m|Pin Missile}}, as the rest of the group appears behind him. However, Jessie is eventually swallowed up. Another blob takes James, who then sends out {{TP|James|Chimecho}}, telling it to save itself. The rest of the gang comes into view and sees the stranded Pokémon.

One more red blob, this time in the shape of an {{p|Aerodactyl}}, comes after them, but Lucario destroys it with his Aura Sphere. The gang is quickly on the run again, and Cacnea and Chimecho are left standing sad and confused over what happened to their Trainers. Soon the red blobs approach from behind. The others try to find another way to get past them. One of them makes it through and almost catches Kidd, but Lucario gets in the way. The blob takes Lucario, but soon dissolves itself as the Tree does not consider Pokémon hostile.

The group soon discovers two Regis once again on their tails. As they run, they find a room with two tunnels. The group decides to split and meet up later. Brock, May, Kidd head down the right tunnel, and when Ash asks if Lucario is following, he says he won't leave until Ash finds Pikachu, knowing Ash would do the same for him. Ash thanks Lucario before sending out {{AP|Grovyle}} and {{AP|Corphish}}, using their attacks to slow the Regis down briefly before heading down the other tunnel.

Pikachu meanwhile continues using his senses to look for Ash, followed by Mew and a very tired Meowth. As they begin to travel through another tunnel, three red blobs head by them, causing Meowth to wonder what they are. Those red blobs eventually reach Kidd's group, this time first taking Max, then Brock. Not wanting his Pokémon to go down with him, Brock releases {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. May tries in vain to save her brother, who eventually disappears, at which point May is caught as well; she releases {{TP|May|Combusken}}, {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} before she is gone; Kidd, on the other hand, manages to elude the blobs. Brock's and May's horrified Pokémon (plus Bonsly) are left behind staring at the places where their trainers disappeared.

Lucario and Ash manage to lose the Regis, but they come up to a huge crevice with crystal pillars coming out from side to side. Not only is it a long way down, but strong gusts of wind blow from time to time. On the other side, Pikachu comes out from another tunnel (with Mew and Meowth still in the tunnel). Ash, happy to see Pikachu, runs out on the pillars while Pikachu does the same. Pikachu has no problem hopping from pillar to pillar in the wind, but Ash occasionally slips. He continues on when the wind gets too strong. Both he and Pikachu meet in the middle, where they jump to meet, though they soon fall. In the nick of time, Kidd uses her grappling hook to swing across and grab Ash and Pikachu, landing at the tunnel entrance where Lucario is standing. Ash and Pikachu are finally reunited, and he introduces his partner to Lucario, who is now beginning to truly understand the deeper relationship that is possible between humans and Pokémon. Grovyle and Corphish appear, then Mew shows up with Ash's hat and Meowth appears climbing down the pillars. Now the group needs to escape the Tree so travel as a group down the next tunnel.

While going through the tunnels, Ash asks what happened to the others. Kidd doesn't answer at first, making Ash realize that they were taken by the blobs. Kidd confirms this when they spot two more red blobs up the path, and Meowth is upset when told that Jessie and James have also been consumed by them. They quickly find a branch off to another tunnel, but the blobs continue right behind them. The group comes to a room with large crystal formations. Lucario goes on ahead but is ambushed by Registeel and Regirock. Registeel grabs him, giving the red blobs a chance to capture Kidd and Ash, which is what is intended. As Kidd gets "eaten", she releases both her Weavile from their {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Lucario desperately tries to free himself but is stunned by Registeel. Ash releases Phanpy and {{TP|Ash|Swellow}} and tells Pikachu to look after the others. Pikachu, desperate to save Ash, grabs onto his hand and is assisted by Grovyle and Phanpy while the other Pokémon can only watch horrified. Lucario manages to free himself from Registeel's grip and hurries to help, but it is too late: Ash is gone as the blob slips into the ground, and the crystals turn blue again. Ash's Pokémon, devastated by their loss, begin to cry. Lucario watches this, appearing hurt as well.

Mew sees how upset Pikachu is from losing Ash and flies up, touching a crystal. It begins to glow green, as well as every crystal in the area. Soon the blobs, now green, form up into mounds and dissolve away, leaving their victims behind, alive and well, just where they had been taken. As Ash is also released from the blob, Pikachu jumps into his arms and is quickly followed by Phanpy and Corphish with Grovyle and Swellow watching as all are overjoyed to have him back. Lucario observes the reunion happy to see Ash and his Pokémon reunited as well as the bond all they share. The Regis walk off, not seeing them as a threat anymore. Meowth tells Ash that Mew communicated to the Tree and was able to convince it the humans were not a threat. Ash thanks Mew for saving them as Mew tries to return Ash's hat, but it drops the hat and floats down - being caught by Kidd - and is now very weak.

Suddenly, all of the crystals turn red. While Meowth hears James's voice nearby and hurries off unnoticed, Kidd's boss says that the tree's immune system has gone into shock and the entire Tree has become unstable. Kidd tells Ash that Mew and the Tree are connected and if the Tree is destroyed, Mew will certainly die. The crystals begin to blacken and crumble and parts of the ground collapse. Ash returns his Pokémon to their Poké Balls and, with no time to lose, Mew signals and leads the group to the core room.

In this room, Lucario looks to the side and notices that there is a crystal formation with Sir Aaron's body inside it. Lucario does not understand why Aaron is here but sees his gloves nearby. Ash 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. Ho-Oh also comes in, revealing itself to be Mew. They watch as Aaron begins delivering his Aura, the only energy that would suffice, to Mew. Mew stores the power and once enough has been stored, goes to the core to begin the Tree's restoration. In the end, they see Aaron stumble and fall, and the scene ends.

Lucario realizes that Sir Aaron did not abandon the kingdom but sacrificed himself to save it and that he is truly the hero everyone believes him to be. Lucario is filled with guilt for doubting his master but realizes that the power of the Aura can restore the Tree. Lucario, seeing how he can utilize the Aura that Aaron can, declares he will be the one to do it. Lucario goes up to Mew and begins transferring energy but is soon pulled back. He realizes he is not strong enough yet to deliver the energy needed. Ash remembers that Lucario mentioned he had the same Aura as Sir Aaron and can control it as well. He puts on Aaron's gloves, which help to channel the energy. Kidd tries to stop Ash, telling him he would be sacrificing himself, but Ash explains that if he doesn't help, the Tree (as well as Mew and all the other Pokémon living in it) would die. Both Lucario and Ash begin channeling energy into Mew. As time passes and they channel more energy, it begins to strain them. Lucario looks at Ash and, at the last possible moment, pushes Ash out of the way, telling him he'll take it from there. The energy channeling completes, and Mew swiftly moves to the energy core of the Tree, the stored energy releasing a green light that restores life to the Tree. The crystals turn green and emit bright beams of light across the land as well as in the castle. Down one of the tunnels, Jessie and James note that they've somehow managed to survive, as Meowth finds them, and the three friends are happily reunited.

Kidd confers with Banks and finds out that everything is normal. Lucario stumbles down next to Aaron's crystal, exhausted and in the same condition as Aaron when he collapsed. Lucario's hand bumps into a time flower, activating it. This memory shows Aaron sitting there, saying his last words. He tells Lucario that he only sealed him up because he knew Lucario would follow him no matter what otherwise. He also says that Lucario was not his servant, but his partner and friend. Lucario sobs a bit and smiles, understanding now Sir Aaron's sacrifice and apologizes for failing him, but Ash assures him that it isn't true and Lucario has proved himself to be a True Guardian of Aura as well. Lucario thanks Ash and then starts to disappear. Ash begs him not to die, but Lucario tells Ash it's all right as Sir Aaron is waiting for him as he goes, turning into an orb of energy that combines with Aaron's energy and floats up to the sky (at the same time causing Aaron's crystal to disappear).

[[File:Lucario and Ash.png|thumb|220px|Lucario with Ash before dying]]
Brock, May, and Max step outside to see the Tree is normal again as Kidd and Ash step outside from a nearby tunnel. Kidd gets in touch with Banks, who tells Kidd that she will make a fortune from the information she has gathered. Kidd however decides not to publish this adventure and says to keep it a secret, stating that the Tree would be ruined by tourists, and Banks reluctantly agrees as everyone else sadly ponder Lucario's sacrifice. Ash, knowing that he will never forget his friend or the relationship that is possible between humans and Pokémon, states that Lucario's aura is with him.

During the credits, they find out the tapestry in the castle showing Aaron holding up his scepter has changed; it now includes Lucario, Aaron's partner, and friend, standing beside him. Ash and company take a cable car down. Along the way they see Kidd waving from her Humvee before leaving. Bonsly remains with Mew at the Tree of Beginning, both of them thrilled to have found a friend. Ash and friends travel in the town below the castle while Team Rocket floats overhead, seemingly plotting another capture of Pikachu, but Wobbuffet knocks Meowth out of the balloon by accident, causing Meowth to cling to the bottom of the balloon. In what would appear to be the afterlife, Aaron and Lucario are shown standing together. Aaron takes a bite of something and reacts positively; a closeup reveals a bar of chocolate like the one Max shared with Lucario earlier. Ash and his friends travel towards a bridge and the next city, continuing their Pokémon journeys together.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sir Aaron.png|thumb|300px|[[Sir Aaron]], Knight of [[Cameran Palace]]]]
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[AG134]] and [[AG135]] in Japan.
* This movie introduces the concept of [[aura]] to the {{pkmn|animated series}} [[canon]].
* This is the second movie in which a character dies and is not resurrected. The first was ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', where {{OBP|Latios|M05}} sacrificed himself to save [[Alto Mare]] from a large tidal wave. This time, two characters died, Lucario and Sir Aaron. However, they are seen during the ending credits, presumably in the afterlife.
* This is the first movie since the fifth movie, and the only ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' movie, to have the corresponding theme song played during the opening credits (this time, it is the [[S08|Advanced Battle]] theme); however, it receives no remix.
* The [[Rota]] castle is based on {{wp|Neuschwanstein}}, a castle in {{wp|Allgäu}}, {{wp|Bavaria}}, Germany.<ref>http://www.pokemon2005.jp/staffdiary/0801.html</ref>
* In Latin America, it was the first of the ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' movies to be dubbed, and aired just after the finale of [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] and before the beginning of [[S10|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] in a special along with ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. The other two ''Advanced Generation'' movies, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', were not dubbed until early 2008.
* The strings section of the movie score is performed by Koike Strings, and was recorded on June 11, 2005.<ref>http://www.koikestrings.com/ Koike Strings official website</ref>
* In this movie, {{p|Regice}} was pronounced as Rej-i-ice; however, in [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]], it was pronounced as Rej-ice.
** Similarly, {{p|Bonsly}} is pronounced Bonsl''ee'', whereas it is pronounced as Bonsl''y'' when [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Brock catches one]].
* During the scene where Ash remembers a scene from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', an instrumental part of [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]] can be heard playing as the background music.
* The two armies of Pokémon, Red and Green, reference the original two [[core series|version]]s of Pokémon, {{game3|Red and Green|Red and Green|s}}.
* [[May's Munchlax]] is the only one of the main characters' Pokémon besides Pikachu to appear on the front cover.
** This is also the second movie in a row where a {{p|Munchlax}} appears on the front cover.
* This is the first movie in which the main featured Pokémon is neither {{pkmn2|Legendary}} nor {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, with the other being ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* When Mew is transformed into Ho-Oh in the dub, {{p|Pidgeot}}'s voice is used as well as Ho-Oh's.
* This is the first Pokémon movie not to receive a VHS release in the United States and Canada, due to the discontinuity of the format in 2006.
* This movie was made canon by ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', when Ash, being the only human in the area able to sense and use aura, is the only one who could reseal {{p|Spiritomb}}.
** Ash's aura powers have also been featured in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part Two]]'' when Ash was able to sense [[Aura Sphere Riolu]]'s presence, and in ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', where he could sense the aura emanating from {{AP|Riolu}}'s {{pkmn|Egg}}.
* This movie was in the making before its [[M07|predecessor]] was even finished.
* This movie marks the first time a [[Generation IV]] [[move]] is used in the animated series.
* The Lapras music box at the Tree of Beginning plays the same tune as {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s song.
* In the epilogue, Kidd appears to be exploring [[Forina]], a location featured in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. Two of the main characters from the movie, [[Butler]] and [[Diane]], cameo in this scene, standing behind Kidd.
* This movie was nominated for best anime feature in the {{wp|American Anime Awards}}, but lost to ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII Advent Children}}''.
* {{p|Jynx}}'s old design appears briefly when the tree of Pokémon is seen in the beginning.
* This movie was the first one to be skipped in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, even though the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} arc was dubbed in Finnish, with the second being [[M09|the next movie]]. These two movies were also skipped in the other Nordic countries.
** Interestingly enough, both of these movies take place during the aforementioned season.
** Due to {{ma|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|the next movie's manga adaptation}} being translated in Finnish, this is the only movie without a Finnish title.
* This was the last movie:
**To be dubbed by [[4Kids Entertainment]].
**To be released on VHS in Japan.
* In a February 2021 poll held by the official [[Pokémon]] website, this movie was voted the most popular movie of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.<ref>https://twitter.com/pokemon_movie/status/1358275545465819136</ref>
* After the scene where the characters get dressed up and the opening at the stadium, May's hairstyle changes from a bow to pigtails and braids. It is never explained how and why.

===Errors===
* During the introduction, where Ash is about to use Phanpy for a battle, the Poké Ball's button is large in appearance.
* In the English dub, when Mew transforms into Ho-Oh, it uses Pidgeot's voice.
* When the guests in the ballroom witness the staff glowing, a part of Jessie's sleeve is missing.
* When May admires Queen Ilene on the balcony, the pink bow on her left sleeve is discolored yellow.
* When Lucario emerges from the staff, his feet are blue instead of black.

===Dub edits===
* Battle Frontier is replaced by Advanced Battle in the opening credits.
* In the English dub, when Jessie gets dressed in her castle gown, she says that it is a wonderful outfit, while in the Japanese version, she says that James and Meowth will be her dates.
* In the English dub, when Ash asks Lucario if he would look for a lost friend, Lucario responds by saying it doesn't have friends and doesn't want any. In the original Japanese version, Lucario says the reason he went with Ash is because Queen Ilene asked it to.
* In the English dub, when talking about Aura, Max asks if Brock can show him what it looks like, and Brock says that it is probably supposed to be invisible. In the original Japanese version, Max asks if he has "hadou" as well, while Brock says that it can also be known as Aura.
* In the English dub, Brock says that Sir Aaron wasn't a hero and that he wasn't even around when the war broke out in ancient times, and Max deduces Sir Aaron must have abandoned Lucario. In the original Japanese version, Brock wonders if what Lucario said about being abandoned is true, and Max suggests that Sir Aaron sealed Lucario in the staff to save it.
* In the English dub, during the last vision of the past, Lucario merely says that it forgives Sir Aaron. In the original Japanese version, Lucario says that it would have followed Sir Aaron to help out if it wasn't sealed in the staff.
* In the end credits, Song of Origin in the Japanese dub is replaced by We Will Meet Again.

==Blurb==

Ash and Pikachu, along with their friends Iris and Cilan, are on a train headed to the next stop on their journey. From the train, Ash spots an injured Pokémon—one he’s never seen before. He’s trying to figure out how he can help when the train is attacked by the Legendary Kyurem, a Dragon-type Pokémon with immense power! Ash and the others barely manage to escape the rampaging Kyurem’s attack, and as the dust settles, they turn their attention to the injured Pokémon. Their new acquaintance turns out to be the Mythical Pokémon Keldeo, and it’s on a mission to rescue its friends—Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, the Legendary Pokémon known as the Swords of Justice—from Kyurem’s icy clutches!

But Kyurem’s rampage isn’t over, and it’s drawing power from Reshiram and Zekrom, changing into Black Kyurem or White Kyurem to make its attacks even stronger! Why is Kyurem attacking Ash and his friends with such unrelenting fury? How will they be able to overcome this danger?

To protect its friends, to discover true power and genuine courage, and to preserve its bond with Ash and its companions, a hidden strength awakens within Keldeo...

==Plot==
As the movie begins, the narrator gives an introduction about the Pokémon world before it cuts to a scene of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}} in a battle with a {{g|Trainer}}'s {{p|Druddigon}}. He commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the Druddigon. As the Thunderbolt hits, the scene changes to a grass field where {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}} is training with {{p|Virizion}}. It detects Virizion in the grass and uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}. As the scene progresses, and after Virizion {{m|Sacred Sword|draws its sword}}, Keldeo attempts to do the same thing but was unable to do so. It then uses its horn as the sword and clashes its horn with Virizion's sword. Later, the scene changes to rocky terrain where Keldeo trains with {{p|Terrakion}}. When Keldeo kicked, it sends Terrakion flying, and Terrakion crashes into a boulder, which falls onto it. It manages to lift that boulder with its strength and Sacred Sword. The two eventually clash weapons. Finally, the scene changes to a dead forest as Keldeo runs alongside {{p|Cobalion}}. A storm envelops the area and burns a few trees down in front of Keldeo. Cobalion notices Keldeo's actions and persistence and tells Keldeo that its actions are reckless. Keldeo exclaims that it wants to battle {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}} and when asked when it will be ready, Cobalion doesn't answer; instead, it draws its sword, and spars with Keldeo.

The scene changes to a flowing stream, where the three Swords of Justice ask themselves whether Keldeo is ready to fight Kyurem. According to Cobalion, Keldeo hasn't fully learned the weight of the sword and is not ready yet. Keldeo overhears them and tries to convince them, but to no avail. While the Swords of Justice sleep, Keldeo sneaks out and heads to [[Full Court]], where Kyurem resides. Eventually the three notice, and so they left to search for Keldeo. When Keldeo arrives, it challenges Kyurem to battle, which the Boundary Pokémon accepts. When the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}} arrive, the two are already in battle. During the fight, Kyurem breaks off Keldeo's horn with {{m|Shadow Claw}}, causing the Colt Pokémon to become paralyzed with fear. Cobalion says not to interfere, but Terrakion attempts to stop the fight to save Keldeo. This aggravates Kyurem, who shifts into White Kyurem and {{status|Freeze|freezes}} the trio, to prevent further interference. Noticing its friends frozen, Keldeo is overcome with fear and flees from the battle. Kyurem, furious, angrily declares that their battle is not yet over...

Meanwhile, Ash and {{ashfr}} are on their journey, boarding a train that leads to a city. {{AP|Oshawott}}, Pikachu, and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} are playing in the train car, later joined by {{AP|Scraggy}}. The train stops at [[Windy Station]]. Cilan notices a stall selling {{p|Darumaka}} lunch boxes and gets some for the group, along with water bottles and {{b|Oran}} Berry Pops. Ash has to carry the lunch boxes, yet he trips over Scraggy, sending the boxes flying. Fortunately, the trio's Pokémon and {{an|Iris}} manage to catch the lunch boxes. As they all board, they accidentally leave Scraggy in the station just as the train leaves, and notice he is trying to run for it. Ash urges him to jump on, but the Shedding Pokémon can't muster the strength to do so, so Ash commands {{AP|Snivy}} to fetch him with {{m|Vine Whip}}. She manages to catch him and bring him in, but suddenly, a Pokémon slips on the mountain, landing on top of the train. Pikachu notices and tells the rest to follow him. It was Keldeo, injured from its previous battle. As Ash and his friends find it, it warns them about Kyurem. Suddenly, Kyurem leaps onto the train and attacks the group, and soon was forced to jump off the train when the train enters a tunnel. Later on, they move to a cargo area of the train, where Iris tells the group about the legend of Kyurem, which she learned from the [[Village of Dragons]]' {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}}.

The train arrives at [[Roshan City]] and the group visits the Pokémon Center there so Keldeo can be treated. [[Nurse Joy]] identifies the Colt Pokémon to the group, and tells them the {{DL|Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|Generation V|legend}} of the [[Swords of Justice]]. She mentions that according to this legend, the three arrived at a forest plagued by flames from a war between human factions. Terrakion shaped an escape route into the earth, Virizion used its speed to shield the fleeing Pokémon, and Cobalion escorted the Pokémon to safety. Within the ashes of the now burned-down forest, they found a lone Pokémon—Keldeo—that they took in as their own. Keldeo is training to be a Sword of Justice.

Later, when Keldeo has been healed (except for its horn), it walks outside the Pokémon Center with Ash and his friends. Iris expresses relief on Keldeo's recovery. Ash and his friends introduce themselves and Ash asks Keldeo what happened. While a {{p|Liepard}} and a {{p|Herdier}} battle on a nearby battlefield, Keldeo tells them what it did before it met them. It also reveals that to become a Sword of Justice, one has to defeat Kyurem. After telling them how it ran away, Keldeo douses its head under a pipe. Keldeo speculates that Kyurem is probably furious, and Ash realizes that that's why Kyurem attacked them. Ash questions it, asking it if it's scared. He says that Keldeo shouldn't be scared just because it lost, which angers Keldeo. It vows to rescue the Swords of Justice right then. Ash and his friends agree and promise to go with Keldeo. First, they eat from the Darumaka lunch boxes. Ash and Keldeo eat quickly and simultaneously choke, which makes Iris call both Ash and Keldeo "little kids".

Meanwhile, at the harbor, the water freezes over. As an army of {{p|Cryogonal}} surround the area, Kyurem bursts out of the frozen lake. The Cryogonal head into the city, with Kyurem following and turning into White Kyurem. The transformation triggers another flashback of the elder showing Iris Kyurem's White Form, along with Black Kyurem. As Ash and his friends walk, the air suddenly becomes cold and the waterfall next to them freezes. Kyurem's Cryogonal army show up and attack them. The group flees, with White Kyurem and the Cryogonal in pursuit. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Kyurem, prompting it to turn into Black Kyurem and retaliate with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. Kyurem then heads to the top of the city's tallest tower. Pikachu repels the Cryogonal with {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Electro Ball}}, and as more arrive to surround them, Keldeo flies away with Hydro Pump with Ash and Pikachu holding on tight. With the Cryogonal in hot pursuit, Ash, Pikachu and Keldeo head towards a bridge where Iris and Cilan are. The Cryogonal use {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the river. Ash sends out {{AP|Boldore}} to ride across the ice with Keldeo and escape.

The group retreats into the subway tunnels. Cilan tries to open the first door, but it's locked, so Keldeo kicks it open. As they walk through the tunnel, Ash says he's kinda hungry, to which Iris calls him a kid. Keldeo asks if there are any lunch boxes left, further unamusing Iris. They come to another door, which Keldeo attempts to break open again. However, Iris stops the Colt Pokémon and pushes it open, remarking that some doors are open. They arrive at the subway station filled with train cars and other vehicles from the past. Spotting a blimp, Iris gets an idea. The Cryogonal enter through the subway tunnels, and pursue the blimp that is piloted by Iris. Ash, Cilan and Keldeo use a train car to exit the city. Keldeo thinks about Iris' plan to use herself as a diversion so they can escape. Iris teases the duped Cryogonal just as Black Kyurem arrives ad freezes the blimp with cold air, causing it to plummet towards the nearby lake. The Cryogonal then go to where Ash and Cilan went, going after another moving train car piloted by Cilan and powered by {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}. Ash and Keldeo hide behind a hut and retreat into the forest. All the while, Keldeo thinks about Iris and Cilan, while also thinking about the Swords of Justice raising their Sacred Swords to the air and delivering their oath. Ash asks Keldeo what the Swords of Justice are like, and the Colt Pokemon says that Terrakion is the toughest Pokémon he knows, nice and funny too. Keldeo says that Virizion is calm, smart, and the fastest of the three. Finally, Keldeo gets to Cobalion, the leader of the trio, who is stern in his training and says things he doesn't always understand.

Kyurem's Cryogonal are still chasing after Cilan, who sends out {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}} and has it use {{m|Rock Wrecker}} as soon as they enter the tunnel. However, their train car gets frozen by cold air from Black Kyurem. The Boundary Pokémon and its Cryogonal army head out after realizing they've been tricked again. As Keldeo and Ash continue their walk, Keldeo asks Ash why he is helping him if they just met, and Ash says they are friends. They eventually arrive at Full Court, just as White Kyurem and the Cryogonal return. Kyurem lets out a fearsome roar, which frightens Keldeo and reminds him of how his horn was broken off in their last battle. Ash remains determined, but Keldeo backs up, trembling in fear, and admitting that he lied to Kyurem about being a Sword of Justice. Ash tells Keldeo not to worry, going in with Pikachu to handle things themselves. Keldeo tries to go with them, but his fear once again gets the better of him.

As Iris meets up with Cilan, Ash looks for the Swords of Justice. The sun rises, revealing the trio still frozen. Ash sends out Boldore and {{AP|Pignite}}, having them and Pikachu use {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Rock Smash}} and Iron Tail. Ash also tries to break the trio free with a pipe, but all their efforts are halted by the arrival of Kyurem. The Boundary Pokémon tells Ash to leave, but he still tries to free the Swords of Justice. Kyurem uses Dragon Pulse, but Keldeo arrives and interferes with {{m|Focus Blast}}. Ash tells Keldeo that he knew he'd come, and Keldeo is glad that Ash believed in him. The Colt Pokémon then admits to Kyurem that he lied before about being a Sword of Justice. Kyurem comes out and says that he knew all along, wanting to finish their battle. Keldeo finds himself trembling again, but Ash reassures him that he's going to be a Sword of Justice. Keldeo realizes that he has never been alone. Refusing to run this time, Keldeo turns into his Resolute Form, just as Iris and Cilan join up with Ash. The two battle until Kyurem eventually gains the upper hand on Keldeo, using Ice Beam to freeze his leg. Kyurem turns into Black Kyurem and charges up for {{m|Freeze Shock}}. Ash and Pikachu try to stop the Boundary Pokémon with Thunderbolt, but Keldeo fires a warning Focus Blast at them, wanting to keep fighting on. Breaking out of the ice with Hydro Pump, Keldeo uses {{m|Double Team}} and Focus Blast, the impact of the attack colliding with Kyurem's Freeze Shock freeing the Swords of Justice. The trio praise Ash and his friends and thank them for saving Keldeo. Keldeo continues the fight against Kyurem, but quickly starts running out of steam as the Boundary Pokémon knocks him back with Shadow Claw. Iris begs the Swords of Justice to step in, but they insist that this is Keldeo's battle, not theirs. Keldeo doesn't give in, avoiding Kyurem's attacks while remembering the advice given to him by the Swords of Justice. Keldeo uses Focus Blast and rams into the attack increase its impact on Kyurem, throwing it out of the arena.

The Swords of Justice praise Keldeo's progress, knowing all he needs to do now is use his Sword. Black Kyurem arrives and uses Freeze Shock, which freezes Keldeo. While encased in the ice, Keldeo starts glowing bright yellow and bursts out using {{m|Secret Sword}}. He gains the upper hand over Kyurem using this move, countering its Dragon Pulse as the Boundary Pokémon praises Keldeo's true power. Keldeo and Kyurem meet each other with Freeze Shock and Focus Blast. The Freeze Shock suddenly heads towards Ash, Iris and Cilan, but Keldeo jumps in from of them and slices the attack in half with a massive Secret Sword. However, the explosion causes the Colt Pokémon heavy damage as he falls over. Kyurem suddenly stops the fight, having seen that Keldeo protected his new friends rather than claiming victory, saying that he has a fine Sword. As Kyurem walks off, Keldeo changes back to his normal form, his horn restored. Cobalion, having seen Keldeo's desire to protect Ash and his friends, tells Keldeo that he now knows the true weight of the Sword. Suddenly, the steel beams start collapsing, so the group retreats. White Kyurem uses {{m|Ice Burn}} to freeze all the falling debris.

The Swords of Justice congratulate Keldeo on becoming one of them, as do Ash and his friends. With that, the Swords of Justice recite their oath, this time with Keldeo joining them in his Resolute Form.

==Trivia==
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[BW087]] and [[BW088]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime before the aforementioned episodes, as {{an|Dawn}} was in {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|group}} at that point, and they were also accompanied by {{an|Meloetta}}. This arc cannot be interrupted, therefore it must take place some time before [[BW082]], which was when Meloetta started following Ash and his friends or after [[BW097]] when Meloetta left the group.
* This is the fourth consecutive movie in which Ash and his friends do not encounter {{TRT}}.
** This is also the only movie in which [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} do not have speaking roles. Instead, they only make brief cameo appearances in the introduction, ending credits, and small scenes during the actual story.
* Despite being released during ''Best Wishes! Season 2'', this movie does not feature any pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon other than {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}}, outside of the "Pokémon World" intro scene.
** The cameo of {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}} in the intro marks the appearance of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
** The intro also marks the first animated series appearances of {{p|Jynx}} and {{p|Kadabra}} since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.
* In {{pmin|Australia}} and {{pmin|New Zealand}}, this movie received a theatrical release, and special screenings were held at selected Hoyts Cinemas for two consecutive weekends; February 16 and 17, and February 23 and 24.
* This movie is the first since ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' to have [[PK24|a Pikachu short]] distributed alongside it.
* With a length of 72 minutes, this is the shortest of all the Pokémon movies to date.
* The {{p|Darumaka}} boxed lunches seen in this movie later reappear in ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', being eaten by [[James's Morpeko]].

===Errors===
* Kyurem was able to freeze the three Swords of Justice with {{m|Ice Burn}}, and Keldeo with {{m|Freeze Shock}}. This is inconsistent with the Pokémon games, as Ice Burn and Freeze Shock cause {{status|burn}} and {{status|paralysis}}, respectively.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, during the first half of the movie, the Swords of Justice are called the "''Swords of Destiny''."

===Dub edits===
[[File:Movie15Title.png|thumb|300px|Opening title montage]]
* In the Japanese version, during the opening title sequence, the number 15 is created using snapshots from the previous fourteen movies; this is omitted in the dub.
* [[Be an Arrow!]] is replaced by [[Rival Destinies]] as the opening theme.
* Cartoon Network and YTV's airing of this movie uses a shorter cut provided by [[The Pokémon Company International]]. A number of scenes are either excluded or rearranged in order to reduce the movie's running time.
** The [[title card]] sequence is moved to immediately after the "World of Pokémon" segment, while the scenes of Keldeo training and battling Kyurem for the first time – which are before the title card in the original cut – are moved to after it.
** The battle between {{un|Kanata}} and [[Misaki]] is mostly cut out, leaving only a shot of them in the background.
** All scenes from the ending credits are removed, leaving absent events such as the blimp being returned to the museum. The edited credit roll simply plays the credits over a black background and uses a brief instrumental song.
* [[Memories]] is replaced by [[It's All Inside of You]] as the ending theme.

'''Hydrapple''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カミツオロチ''' ''Kamitsuorochi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dipplin}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Dragon Cheer}}. It is one of {{p|Applin}}'s final forms, the others being {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}}.

==Biology==
[[File:1019 Hydrapple Dream.png|thumb|200px|left|Five of Hydrapple's syrpents emerge as heads, while the rest emerge as tails.]]
Hydrapple is a Pokémon composed of seven symbiotic creatures known as "syrpents" living within an apple-shaped structure completely made of red syrup.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/hydrapple/ Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Hydrapple]</ref> Each syrpent has green, leaf-shaped eyestalks with yellow eyes; a long green body with a pale yellow underbelly; and a tail tipped with leafy green ornaments.

Three of the seven syrpents are always visible outside of the syrup apple: the central syrpent, which is the dominant entity in the system, rises from the center of the apple;<ref name=SVsite/> and two of the syrpents' tails emerge from its rear. The central syrpent has the longest body and is further distinguished by its two horns. The left horn has an apple impaled on it, which appears to be the same apple that the Pokémon inhabited when it was an {{p|Applin}}. The four other syrpents composing Hydrapple are usually hidden within the syrup, with only the tops of their closed eyestalks visible from without. Sometimes, the four hidden syrpents emerge from the syrup so that five of Hydrapple's heads are visible. To move, Hydrapple's two tail syrpents work together to push its entire body across the ground.

The seven syrpents that form Hydrapple have inconstant and fickle temperaments, and rarely work together as a team. On the rare occasion that the syrpents' moods align, Hydrapple unleashes its full power.<ref name=SVsite/>

Hydrapple and its pre-Evolution {{p|Dipplin}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Syrup Bomb}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Supersweet Syrup}} as an [[Ability]]. Hydrapple is also the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Fickle Beam}}.

===Evolution===
Hydrapple evolves from {{p|Dipplin}} and is one of the final forms of {{p|Applin}}.

==Trivia==
* Hydrapple is the only one of {{p|Applin}}'s evolutionary relatives to be a third-stage evolution.
** Hydrapple appears in the [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]], despite none of its evolutionary relatives appearing in it, which also makes it the only member of Applin's evolutionary relatives with this distinction.
* Dipplin and Hydrapple are the only:
** Evolutionary relatives introduced within a single [[generation]] that are not next to each other in [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] order, with Dipplin being number 1011 and Hydrapple being number 1019.
** {{type|Dragon}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies}}.
* Hydrapple's existence was indicated before the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] by the fact that Dipplin could use the [[Eviolite]].
* Hydrapple is the only Pokémon that requires a [[TM]] to obtain, as Dipplin cannot learn {{m|Dragon Cheer}} without it.
* As [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] are exclusive to {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Hydrapple is the only one of Applin's final forms to not have a Gigantamax form.

===Origin===
Hydrapple seems to be inspired by multiheaded serpent-like monsters from various myths, such as the {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}, an eight-headed dragon or serpent from {{wp|Japanese mythology}}; {{wp|Hachirōgata|Hachirō-Tarō}} or {{jwp|八の太郎大蛇伝説|Hachi no Tarō no Daija}} (where ''daija'' is an alternative reading of ''orochi''), a similar creature in the local myths of Northern {{wp|Tōhoku region|Tōhoku}}, which [[Kitakami]] is based on; the {{wp|Lernaean Hydra}}, a many-headed serpentine monster from {{wp|Greek mythology}}; and {{wp|Ladon (mythology)|Ladon}}, the multi-headed dragon from {{wp|Greek mythology}} that guarded the {{wp|golden apple}}s in the {{wp|Hesperides|Garden of the Hesperides}}, historically said to be located in the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}} or the {{wp|Canary Islands}}. The fact that the syrpents' moods rarely align may be a reference to the golden {{wp|Apple of Discord}}. Like its evolutionary relatives, Hydrapple also appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an apple, as well as a pun on the {{wp|wyrm}}, a type of dragon — hence its {{t|Dragon}} typing. It also has visual similarities with {{wp|candy apple}}s and the [[Gigantamax]] forms of {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}}, while its {{Shiny}} coloration may be inspired by {{wp|caramel apple}}s or a {{wp|golden apple}}.

The connection between the serpents and the apple present in Hydrapple's design could draw inspiration from the real Biblical story of the {{wp|original sin}}, in which a {{wp|Serpents in the Bible|serpent}} tempts Eve into eating the {{wp|forbidden fruit}}, commonly represented as an {{wp|Apple (symbolism)|apple}} in {{wp|Western Christianity}} from a Latin-based pun on ''mālum'' (apple) and ''malum'' (evil). Along these lines, Hydrapple's seven syrpents could reference the number of {{wp|Seven deadly sins|cardinal sins}} or the {{wp|The Beast (Revelation)|seven-headed beast}} from the {{wp|Book of Revelation}}. Alternatively, these may reference the number of {{wp|Archon (Gnosticism)|archon}}s (including the {{wp|Demiurge|creator god}}) in {{wp|Gnosticism}}, commonly associated with the {{wp|Classical planet|seven luminaries}}, as well as the Gnostic depiction of {{wp|Leviathan}} as the world serpent. The physical world is considered intrinsically flawed and chaotic in Gnosticism. This may explain Hydrapple's signature move {{m|Fickle Beam}}, which is doubled in power when the seven syrpents are aligned at random.

Since Hydrapple was introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]], it may also be a visual pun on the {{wp|Big Apple}}, a nickname for {{wp|New York City}} (the location [[Unova]], where [[Blueberry Academy]] is located, is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]]).

====Name origin====
Hydrapple may be a combination of ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|Hydra}}'', ''dragon'', and ''apple''. The term "syrpent" may be a combination of ''syrup'' or ''wyrm'' and ''serpent''.

Kamitsuorochi may be a combination of 果 ''ka'' (fruit), 花蜜 ''kamitsu'' (nectar), and 八岐大蛇 ''{{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}''.

'''Applin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カジッチュ''' ''Kajicchu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Flapple}} when exposed to a [[Tart Apple]], {{p|Appletun}} when exposed to a [[Sweet Apple]], or {{p|Dipplin}} when exposed to a [[Syrupy Apple]]. Dipplin evolves into {{p|Hydrapple}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Dragon Cheer}}.

==Biology==
Applin is a small, worm-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light green body and a dark green underside. Its head is round with two pink nostrils. Above its head are two large leaf-like eyestalks which house its two small black eyes. These eyestalks give the apple it lives in the appearance of having a stem with leaves. Applin also has two thin hairs on the tip of its tail, as well as two stubby forelimbs which are usually hidden inside its apple.

Applin is both the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also one of the shortest {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. As soon as it is born, it burrows into an apple that looks like a [[Leppa Berry]], which serves as a home, food source, and protection against preying bird Pokémon. The apple is prevented from rotting thanks to Applin's body fluid, which also strengthens the fruit's rind. If Applin runs out of apples to eat or if it is separated from its apple, its body will lose moisture, and it will become dehydrated and weak.<ref>[https://wpes.pokemon.co.jp/en/ World Pokémon Ecological Society]: "When [Applin] runs [out] of... apple[s], it becomes dehydrated. That makes it weak, doesn't it?" ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0jnUPj41oo Video archive])</ref> Since Applin hides inside an apple, it is sometimes mistaken by the frugivorous {{p|Noibat}} for food. In [[Galar]], it is a custom to give an Applin as a romantic gesture. The flavor of the apple Applin lives in determines its [[Evolution]], the apples can be exceptionally [[Tart Apple|tart]], [[Sweet Apple|sweet]], or [[Syrupy Apple|syrupy]].

Applin, {{p|Flapple}}, and {{p|Appletun}} are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Ripen}} as an [[Ability]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Applin (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Applin is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] to have a [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolution]].
** Furthermore, Applin is the first Pokémon since {{p|Tyrogue}} in [[Generation II]] to have a branched Evolution path with more than two possible different species it can evolve into.
** Applin's evolutionary line (2 branches of a two-stage evolutionary line and 1 branch of a three-stage evolutionary line) is unique. It and Mime Jr. are the only Pokémon with different number of Evolution stages in each branch of a branched evolutionary line (Kantonian Mr Mime does not evolve while Galarian Mr Mime does.)
* Applin and its evolved forms:
** are the only Pokémon that are in both the {{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
** require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the lowest among Generation VIII Pokémon, and the lowest among {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon along with {{p|Altaria}}.
* Applin has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
* In [[Generation IX]], Applin is the only Dragon-type Pokémon to not learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Origin===
Applin appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an {{wp|apple}}; perhaps specifically the {{wp|larva}}e of various moths, such as the {{wp|geometer moth}} larvae (also known as the inchworm) and the {{wp|codling moth}} larvae, who burrow into apples and feed on their cores, inhibiting growth and ripening them earlier. It may also be based on the {{wp|mole lizard}}, which has two forelimbs and closely resembles an earthworm, but is actually a type of reptile related to snakes known as an {{wp|amphisbaenia}}.

Its Dragon typing, combined with its worm-like appearance, may be a pun on the {{wp|wyrm}}, a type of dragon. It may also reference specific dragons in various mythologies, such as the {{wp|Lindworm}} (a serpentine dragon often depicted with only two forelimbs), {{wp|Ladon (mythology)|Ladon}} (a dragon from {{wp|Greek mythology}} that guarded the {{wp|golden apple}}s in the {{wp|Garden of the Hesperides}}), or the real story of the {{wp|Serpents in the Bible|Biblical serpent}} who persuaded Eve to eat the {{wp|forbidden fruit}} of the {{wp|Tree of the knowledge of good and evil|tree of knowledge}}, which is often depicted as an apple.

====Name origin====
Applin may be a combination of ''apple'' and ''in''.

Kajicchu may be a combination of 齧る ''kajiru'' (to gnaw), 果実 ''kajitsu'' (fruit), and 虫 ''chū'' (bug; worm).

==Blurb==

When big trouble threatens the big city, it’s up to Ash, Pikachu, and their friends to stop it!

A vast Pokémon habitat amid the hustle and bustle of the big city seems like the perfect new home for a group of five Genesect. The arrival of these Mythical Pokémon quickly becomes a problem, though: their nest threatens the city’s power supply, and they keep attacking anyone who approaches it. On top of that, they’ve attracted the attention of the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo, who sympathizes with them because its own origins also involve human tampering. The group’s leader, known as Red Genesect, doesn’t trust Mewtwo, and their confrontation quickly rages out of control! Can Ash and friends stop these two powerful Pokémon before they destroy the city?

==Plot==
{{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} is flying with a group of {{type|Flying}} Pokémon over a mountain range, and later the ocean. Deciding to challenge the limits of its power, Mewtwo flies ahead, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Mewtwo Y and ascending into the sky. Meanwhile, the [[Genesect Army]] arrives at a snowy area that their leader, a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, believes to be their home. Confused and distressed, the Genesect carrying the [[Douse Drive]] calls out, "I want to go home."

Mewtwo reaches the atmosphere but realizes it cannot stay there and begins falling. After changing back to its ordinary form, Mewtwo hears the Water Genesect's plea and rushes off to find them. An avalanche begins, and Mewtwo arrives in time to save the four regular Genesect, but the Red Genesect is swept up in the snow. Mewtwo peers into the Water Genesect's mind and learns that they were resurrected from three-hundred-million-year-old [[Fossil]]s by [[Team Plasma]] but escaped, and they are now searching for their home and see everyone around them as enemies. The Red Genesect returns and attacks Mewtwo, initially out of a belief that it was threatening the other Genesect but later out of anger over learning that their home is gone due to the passage of time. Mewtwo watches as the Genesect Army flees. Later, the five Genesect discover a large city's skyline, and seeing it as similar to their home, the Water Genesect happily says "I'm going home."

{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} arrive in the central area of [[New Tork City]] and visit the [[Pokémon Hills]] nature park. Their guide, [[Eric]], shows them around, and their Pokémon play with the wild Pokémon in the area for a while. Later, however, {{AP|Pikachu}} sees the Water Genesect sitting at a pond and staring at flowers floating on the water. The Genesect becomes frightened and folds up, leading Ash to sit on it in the mistaken belief that it is a statue. It flies off with Ash riding on it. After landing, Ash strikes up a friendship with the Genesect, and it tells him that it wants to go home. Ash realizes this means that it is lost and promises to somehow help it get back home. Suddenly, the Red Genesect and Electric Genesect arrive. Perceiving Ash's petting the Water Genesect as harming it, they attack. The Water Genesect tries to stop them, but using its power, the Red Genesect forces it to attack its new friends. However, Mewtwo suddenly appears and protects the humans from the attack, and the Genesect leave.

In an underground tunnel, Ash, Iris, and Cilan thank Mewtwo for saving them, but it says it was only protecting Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. Ash insists that Mewtwo tell them what kind of Pokémon they had encountered, so Mewtwo reveals that they are Genesect, Pokémon who were extinct for 300 million years until humans revived them from fossils. Mewtwo explains that it identifies with them due to its origins as a Pokémon created by humans, then tells the group to forget they ever met it and flies off. {{TRT}}, who was eavesdropping on the conversation, decides to catch both Mewtwo and the Genesect Army.

At the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash spots a photo of the flowers he had seen the Genesect looking at. Eric explains that they are an ancient species known as the Panna Lotus, which he transplanted from [[Absentia Natural Park]] to Pokémon Hills. That night, while Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric eat at the Pokémon Center, the Genesect begin rampaging in Pokémon Hills, driving all of the Pokémon out of the park, except for a {{p|Feraligatr}} that unsuccessfully tries to fight them off. Once they have the area to themselves, the Genesect begin spinning a giant cocoon from sturdy threads, but the thread reaches underground into a power station, disrupting the power to the city. Team Rocket sneaks into Pokémon Hills, and Ash and the others rush there after being warned by a {{p|Sableye}} they befriended earlier only to discover all the Pokémon outside as a result of the Genesect rampaging. Cilan returns to the Pokémon Center to help an injured {{p|Ralts}}. Ash, Eric, and Iris try to enter but the Electric and Ice Genesect push them away, so Eric shows them a workers' corridor used as an alternate entrance. Meanwhile, Team Rocket attempts to capture the Genesect with a bazooka but the Red Genesect spots them and drives them off. The tunnel leads Ash, Iris, and Eric to the underground power station, where they discover the threads wrapped around the generators.

Standing on a bridge overlooking the city, Mewtwo muses about its origins. It flashes back to [[Mewtwo's creators|its creators]] conceiving it in a tank and later torturing it during an experiment, at which point it escaped. As it recalls how it once thought it was alone, it then flashes back to being [[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening|badly injured after a violent battle]] and being struck by a bolt of lightning, at which point it encountered a cave of wild Pokémon that took it in and cared for it. Having realized it wasn't alone after all, Mewtwo concludes that the Genesect deserve to reach the same conclusion. A pair of {{p|Starly}} arrive and inform Mewtwo of the Genesect Army's rampage in Pokémon Hills, so it sets off.

Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric reach the main area of Pokémon Hills and are approached by the Water Genesect, who apologizes for attacking them earlier, leading Ash to conclude that it couldn't refuse the Red Genesect's orders. The Water Genesect excitedly runs to a pool where it shows them the Panna Lotuses and tells them that it likes the flowers, which grew in its home. Iris realizes that the cocoon is the Genesect Army's nest and that they are trying to turn Pokémon Hills into their new home. When the lights begin flickering again, Eric realizes there is an emergency at the power station and rushes off to resolve it, for if it continues, the station will explode, blacking out New Tork City and sending it into chaos. The {{p|Feraligatr}} living in Pokémon Hills starts fighting with the Red Genesect again after breaking part of the cocoon, and when the Red Genesect uses {{m|Blaze Kick}} to knock the Feraligatr off a ledge, Mewtwo appears and rescues it with {{m|Psychic}}.

Mewtwo warns the Red Genesect not to attack the other Pokémon, but it refuses to listen. As a result, Mewtwo leads it out of Pokémon Hills while the Ice, Electric, and Fire Genesect begin attacking Ash, Iris, and the other Pokémon. Cilan returns to help, and the Water Genesect manages to resist the order to attack when it hears Ash's voice. The Red Genesect attacks Mewtwo as they fly through the city, ultimately forcing Mewtwo to fight back by ignoring all of Mewtwo's warnings. Mewtwo Mega Evolves and the two engage in a high-speed chase throughout the city. At Pokémon Hills, the other Genesect fight the wild Pokémon and eventually become overwhelmed, at which point the Red Genesect returns to protect them. When the Red, Fire, and Ice Genesect turn to attack a {{p|Persian}}, Ash runs between them in an attempt to stop the attack, the Water Genesect jumps in the way and takes the full force of its allies' power. After expressing gratitude for Ash being safe, the Water Genesect's eyes go dark.

The other four Genesect take an aerial formation and begin to attack the rest of the Pokémon, but Mewtwo arrives and shields them with {{m|Protect}}. Mewtwo gives the Genesect Army a final warning to stop their rampage or be defeated, which the Red Genesect ignores. All four remaining Genesect engage Mewtwo in battle around the cocoon but are largely unable to keep up, especially when Mewtwo Mega Evolves to increase its speed. To counter this tactic, the Red Genesect orders the other three to try dragging Mewtwo down with their threads, but Mewtwo breaks free using {{m|Psystrike}}. The three regular Genesect fall through into the power station, causing the generators to completely overload, igniting fires on the cocoon's threads and blacking out all of New Tork City. Team Rocket, wandering around in the dark, fall into a worksite and land on a group of {{p|Durant}}, who blast them off with {{m|Hidden Power}}.

As Mewtwo and the Red Genesect speed around the cocoon in pursuit of each other, the fires on the cocoon spread. The Water Genesect wakes up and attempts to stop it, and {{AP|Oshawott}}, Feraligatr, and the other Pokémon help it. The other Genesect climb out from the pit only to be trapped by the flames, but they are freed by Persian's {{m|Water Pulse}}. They then return the favor by protecting Ash from a falling piece of debris, having lost their aggression. The Water Genesect, however, is suddenly caught in a burst of fire and falls unconscious again. Up above, the Red Genesect manages to get in a hit on Mewtwo, nearly sending it falling into the fire; however, Ash, Iris, and Cilan catch it. Shifting back to its ordinary form, Mewtwo lands, as does the Red Genesect. After one last exchange of attacks, Ash runs between them and attempts to convince them to stop fighting. The Red Genesect refuses to listen and begins charging a {{m|Techno Blast}} at Ash, but the Water Genesect wakes up again and weakly begs its leader to stop. It is soon joined by the other Genesect and the Pokémon Hills Pokémon, but the Red Genesect refuses to let go of its quest and declares even its kind to be its enemy, firing its Techno Blast.

Mewtwo has had enough. It Mega Evolves, blocks the Techno Blast, restrains the Red Genesect with Psychic and grabs it by the cannon before shooting up into the sky, declaring that they must go beyond the limit, where nobody else exists. It blacks out after flying so high that they both begin to freeze. A short time later, Mewtwo wakes up alongside the Red Genesect in the upper atmosphere. The Red Genesect is in awe of [[Pokémon world|the planet]], and Mewtwo explains that it is the planet where they were both born, that they exist for a reason, and that on this planet, they are all friends. The aggression fades from the Red Genesect's eyes, and it accepts the hand extended by Mewtwo as an invitation to return to their home. However, as they fall, Mewtwo blacks out again. The Red Genesect grabs Mewtwo and uses its last powers to send a signal to the other Genesect to "return home" before blacking out as well.

As the last of the fires on the cocoon is put out, the other Genesect get the signal that the Red Genesect and Mewtwo are falling and fly off to help. Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}} and Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} to aid them. The Genesect create a net of thread to catch the two falling Pokémon, and Dragonite and Charizard try to hold it up, but their efforts fail. Ash declares they will catch Mewtwo and Red Genesect themselves, and on a suggestion from Iris, all the Pokémon create a giant cushion of water, using Psychic-type moves to form the cushion, to catch them. Mewtwo helps the Red Genesect up from the water, and it voices its newfound belief that everyone is its friend. As everyone expresses relief that the crisis is finally over, Ash spots the Panna Lotuses and realizes that he knows where the Genesect can go.

Eric takes Ash, Iris, Cilan, and the Genesect Army to Absentia Natural Park, a place where the Panna Lotuses still grow naturally. While the other Genesect build another cocoon there, the Water Genesect happily tells Ash that it likes its new home. Mewtwo then thanks Ash for helping find the Genesect a home and tells him it will always be grateful that they met before Mega Evolving and flying off. Ash, Iris, and Cilan express hope they will meet Mewtwo again someday.

In the ending credits, the Genesect complete their nest in Absentia Natural Park. Eric is seen guiding a tour of the completed Pokémon Hills now that it is open to the public. Many rivals from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' go by, as well as [[Alder]], [[Ingo]], [[Emmet]], {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Professor Juniper]], [[Cedric Juniper]], and [[Don George]]. {{an|N}} is shown walking alone over a vast salt flat area. Ash, Iris, and Cilan walk past a disguised Team Rocket at a café. Mewtwo arrives in another large city at night and lands on a building, overlooking the vast metropolis.

==Trivia==
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[BW133]] and [[BW134]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place no later than [[BW123]], as {{Ash}}'s official character bio for the movie claims he is still traveling through [[Unova]] at the time of the movie, indicating [[New Tork City]] is in the [[region]]. At this point in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Ash and {{ashfr}} had long since left Unova and are traveling through the [[Decolora Islands]].
* The setting for this movie is based on {{wp|New York City}}, with {{wp|Central Park}} serving as the basis for [[Pokémon Hills]]. Director Kunihiko Yuyama wanted to create a contrast between the ancient {{p|Genesect}} and a setting that embraces technology and civilization.
** Several other places in the city also reference locations within New York City. For example, an area modeled after {{wp|Times Square}} appears in a few scenes, and the [[Pokémon Center]] where Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric eat is modeled on the famous restaurant {{wp|Tavern on the Green}}.
* This is the first movie to feature a [[villainous team]] other than [[Team Rocket]] since ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.
* When Mewtwo and the Red Genesect fly through a part of New Tork City patterned after Times Square, some of the video screens are playing a {{pkmn|Baccer World Cup|Pokémon Baccer}} match between the {{ci|Jubilife}} Reds and {{ci|Cianwood}} Greens, the two teams seen in the prologue of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* In the credits, a reference to the original Mewtwo is made when the Mewtwo in this movie is shown standing on top of a building overlooking a large city at night. This is the same scene that the original Mewtwo last appeared in at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.
* This movie marks the first time that the final movie of a [[series]] of the animated series features no Pokémon from the following generation.
** It does, however, feature [[Mega Evolution|a new form]] of an {{p|Mewtwo|older Pokémon}} that can only be obtained starting from [[Generation VI|the following generation]].
** In addition, it is the first movie to not debut any new Pokémon or new forms of Pokémon in the animated series, as Mega Mewtwo Y and Genesect debuted in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'' and ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', respectively.
* This is the fifth consecutive movie in which {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not meet {{TRT}}. However, they are more prominently featured, attempting to capture Mewtwo and Genesect, as opposed to their brief, non-speaking cameos in the [[M15|previous movie]].
* This is the first movie since ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' to not feature [[Shōko Nakagawa]] as part of its cast. Instead, she appears in the accompanying [[Pikachu short]], ''[[PK25|Eevee & Friends]]''.
* This movie has the shortest time between its Japanese and English releases, at three months.
* The English title of this movie was shown on Taiwanese theater billboards a month before it was officially confirmed.
* This is the only ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' movie to feature Pokémon from generations prior to [[Generation V]] other than [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR}}.
* In addition to the United States, this movie aired on October 19, 2013 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|Italy}}, and {{pmin|France}}, as well as in {{pmin|Indonesia}} on November 2, 2013, and in {{pmin|the Philippines}} on November 13, 2013.
* In Indonesia, this is the first movie to premiere in theaters instead of on TV.
* In {{pmin|Denmark}}, this is the first movie to premiere on [[Netflix]].
* This is the first movie to be released on DVD in the US before Japan.
* This movie marks {{AP|Charizard}}'s first movie appearance since ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''.
* This is the last movie until ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'' to keep its Japanese soundtrack in the dub, a practice that started in the [[M04|fourth movie]].
* A Red Genesect [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card is included in the English DVD release of this movie.
* This movie features a total of six {{pkmn2|talking}} Pokémon, more than any previous movie. In the process, this number surpasses the record of five from [[M15|the previous movie]].
* There were plans for the [[Mewtwo (M01)|original Mewtwo]] to appear, but they were scrapped due to legal issues with [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s estate.<ref>https://www.pokebeach.com/2019/07/mewtwo-strikes-back-evolution-impressions-changes-and-sequels</ref>
* This is the last movie to be animated by Team Koitabashi. Team Kamei animated the movies from [[M17|the seventeenth]] to [[M19|the nineteenth]].
* In Japan, an animated short titled [[Top Secret Internal Team Plasma Genesect Video]] was aired to promote this movie.

===Errors===
[[File:M16 Ash hair error.png|200px|thumb|Ash's eyebrow drawn over his hair]]
* In a scene during the credits, Ash's eyebrow is drawn over his hair.
* In the initial Cartoon Network airing, during the [[It's Always You and Me]] sequence, voices of the characters on screen can be heard over the song itself. This is corrected in the DVD release.

===Dub edits===
* It's Always You and Me replaces [[Summerly Slope]] as the opening theme.
* [[We're Coming Home]] replaces [[Smiling Face]] as the ending theme.
** The Netflix version of the movie retains "Smiling Face" as the ending theme.
** In the Australian theatrical and initial DVD release, the lyrics for We're Coming Home has the line "It's time to listen to their call" instead of "Can't wait to be with everyone".
* In the original Japanese version, Cilan says they are very lucky to see Pokémon Hills before it is open to the public. Ash wonders where Chansey is, as he thinks that Cilan was talking about the Pokémon since "lucky" is Chansey's Japanese name. In the English dub, Cilan says it was a chance of a lifetime; Ash then wonders where Chansey is.

==Differences between the animated series and the manga==
* In the English version of this manga, the Panna Lotuses are referred to as "Ortus", their Japanese name, and [[Absentia Natural Park]] is known as '''Alssace Nature Park''', its Japanese name.
* Most of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}}'s [[Mega Evolution|form changes]] are left out of the manga version. In the movie, Mewtwo's first form change is close to the beginning of the film, while in the manga, the first transformation doesn't occur until Mewtwo has already faced the Red {{p|Genesect}} for the first time in [[New Tork City]].
* Due to the aforementioned reason, a couple of scenes involving Mewtwo's transformation are changed in the manga version:
** The scene where Mewtwo is seen flying with some {{t|Flying|bird}} Pokémon is also mostly left out. This leads to Mewtwo hearing the Douse Drive Genesect's voice while flying with its friends, instead of when falling from the edge of space. This also affects the climax of the story slightly, making the scene where Mewtwo takes the Red Genesect to the edge of space with itself complete standalone, with no references to the earlier parts of the story.
** Mewtwo saves Ash and {{ashfr}} in its normal form, instead of its Mega form.
* In the movie, Mewtwo rescues the [[Genesect Army]] (save the Red Genesect) from an avalanche, and reads the Douse Drive Genesect's mind, revealing their past and origins in flashbacks. In the manga, no avalanche occurs, and Mewtwo just finds the Genesect wondering what happened to [[Genesect's home|their past home]]. While Mewtwo still reads the Genesect's mind, the flashbacks aren't shown right away, as the Red Genesect forces its companions to drive Mewtwo away. Instead, they are shown briefly when Mewtwo later tells the Genesect's story to Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}.
* No kind of reference of [[Team Plasma]]'s involvement in Genesect's creation is made in the manga version's flashbacks. The fact is mentioned only once at the character introduction page at the beginning of the manga album.
* In the manga, when first seeing the Douse Drive Genesect, Pikachu gets scared and jumps onto Ash's face in fear, catching Ash's attention. In the movie, Pikachu instead approaches it with slight curiosity, causing Ash to follow it.
* In the movie, Pikachu stays on the shore when the Douse Drive Genesect takes flight with Ash in its back, and is only picked up a moment later when Ash flies near him. In the manga version, Pikachu stays on Ash's shoulder the whole time.
* The scene where Ash first talks with the Douse Drive Genesect is slightly shortened in the manga, leaving out the part where Ash tries to explain the Paleozoic Pokémon what "being lost" means.
* When Ash has Pikachu block Red Genesect's {{m|Signal Beam}} with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, Pikachu manages to stop the attack. In the movie, the Red Genesect and Shock Drive Genesect soon join in another attack, attacking Pikachu together, quickly overpowering it. In the manga, while Pikachu is blocking Red Genesect's attack, Shock Drive Genesect then strikes Pikachu from another angle.
* {{TRT}}'s role is reduced in the manga. In the movie, they overhear Mewtwo's explanation of the Genesect, head for the [[Pokémon Hills]], try and fail to catch the Genesect, get blasted off by a group of {{p|Durant}}, and are later seen floating in a pond. In the manga, only the scenes of them planning capture and the failed capture scene are shortly shown.
* In the movie, a bazooka is used by [[James]], who drops it when the Red Genesect spots the trio, making it a minor element of suspense later in the film. In the manga, the bazooka is held by {{MTR}}, and it is not seen after Team Rocket is driven away.
* The flashbacks of Mewtwo's past give no clear reason why it escaped from its creators in the manga version, while in the movie, Mewtwo was shown being put through a painful experiment, which caused it to destroy the laboratory and leave.
* During the first battle between Mewtwo and the Red Genesect, Mewtwo is shown being slammed into a building by Genesect's {{m|Extreme Speed}}. In the movie, it counters the hit with {{m|Psystrike}}, while in the manga, Mewtwo stays stuck on the wall for a moment before heading back to Pokémon Hills to stop the Genesect from hurting the Pokémon.
* In the movie, there are two scenes of the Genesect Army uniting into a single {{m|Techno Blast}} strike, one of which almost hits Ash (who is trying to stop the fighting) but is blocked by the Douse Drive Genesect, and another one, this time directed at the wild Pokémon, which is {{m|Protect|blocked}} by Mewtwo. In the manga, these scenes are combined, making Mewtwo the one blocking the Techno Blasts that almost hit Ash.
** Also, due to Mewtwo's first form change in the manga occurring only a moment after this, it was in its normal form while blocking the blasts, unlike in the movie.
* Unlike in the film, the battle between Mega Mewtwo Y and the Red Genesect is seen from the eyes of Genesect for a short while, as it realizes that Mewtwo is able to outspeed it, even when using Extreme Speed.
* Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as Mewtwo's "Awakened Form" (a term commonly used of it before the revelation of Mega Evolution) in the manga. In the movie, the form wasn't named.
* In the movie, {{AP|Oshawott}} uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} to fight the fire, while in the manga, it uses {{m|Water Gun}}.
* Mewtwo and Red Genesect's battle has a slightly different ending in the manga than in the film. Originally Mewtwo, distracted by the fire-fighting Pokémon below, was hit by Red Genesect's {{m|Blaze Kick}}, but was saved by Ash and his friends, who held the Genetic Pokémon up enough long for it to recover and change its form. After this, both Mewtwo and Genesect landed and fired an {{m|Aura Sphere}} and a Signal Beam at each other, causing an explosion. This is followed by Ash running in between them, telling the two to stop the fighting. In the manga, Genesect just strikes Mewtwo at a high speed, causing it to revert to its regular form and land down, without the need for Ash's help. Also, Mewtwo and Genesect never get a chance to fire their attacks, as Ash rushes in between them before they can do it.
* In the manga, when Red Genesect realizes that everyone is its friend while out in space, it briefly visualizes a number of older characters, including {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Zorua|M13}}, {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}}, {{Delia}}, [[Mimey]], and {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}}. None of these cameos are present in the movie.
* In the movie, Mewtwo and Red Genesect's fall from space is more followed by the eyes of others, trying to find a way to prevent them from crashing into the Earth. At first, the rest of the Genesect, [[Ash's Charizard]], and [[Iris's Dragonite]] try to slow them down, but fail. Finally, Ash comes up with an idea of several {{t|Water}} and {{t|Psychic}} type Pokémon creating a cushion of water to soften their landing. In the manga, almost the entire sequence is seen from the eyes of Mewtwo and Red Genesect, the former trying to tell the latter to save itself before the crash. Also the part where the other Genesect, Charizard, and Dragonite try to slow them down is left out of the manga version.
* Unlike in the movie, the two Pokémon are conscious at least a part of their fall in the manga, and are able to move on their own as soon as they had landed, with no need for picking them up from the water.

* For an unknown reason, {{Tracey}} is not included in the "Meet the Movie Stars" chapter, decpite him being one of {{Ash}}'s major {{ashfr|companions}}.
* Even though the ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' chapter explains Ash getting hit by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} and {{OBP|Mew|M01}}'s attacks that turn him into stone, it does not explain his petrification from the attacks.

* The Rise of Darkrai chapter calls Godai Tonio's grandfather instead of his great grandfather.

* The Genesect and the Legend Awakened Chapter implies that it was the Marina Group who taught Ash how to make the giant water bubble to save Mewtwo and Genesect.
* It also says Ash thinks fast and decides to create the bubble when it was actualy Iris who gave him the idea.

* On the page showing {{an|May}}'s Pokémon, {{TP|May|Combusken}}'s [[Pokémon category]] is retained from {{p|Goldeen}}'s, calling it the Goldfish Pokémon.

** In addition, the {{p|Beautifly}} decoration on the back of her dress is missing.
* {{MTR}} doesn't wear his knight suit.
* [[Kidd Summers|Kidd]] is seen dancing with Brock in the movie. In the manga, she is only seen eating at the buffet.

* In the movie, the {{p|Weavile}} knock {{AP|Pikachu}} out with an {{m|Ice Beam}} that counters his {{m|Thunderbolt}}. In the manga, he is instead knocked out by the Weavile kicking him.
* When the Weavile attack, {{OBP|Mew|M08}} protects itself by {{m|transform}}ing into one and attacking one of the real Weavile, resulting into the two fighting.
* In the manga, when Ash is asked to raise the staff, he isn't ask to send the fireworks signal nor were fireworks seen unlike in the movie.
* The scenes where the characters stop for lunch and at the hot springs and where they go camping aren't present in the manga.

* The scenes with the green tunnels full of bubbles inside the [[Tree of Beginning]] are cut. However, the doorway to tunnel can still be seen.
* When Ash and Lucario fight, they don't fall into a pond, but instead have Brock use his {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to stop their fight with {{m|Water Gun}}.
* Because the lunch scene was altered, [[Ash's friends|the group]] instead meets {{p|Bonsly}} after Ash and Lucario's quarrel.
* In the manga, those who control the [[aura]] can see other creatures through the Tree of Beginning's crystals, and Ash was able to see Pikachu in one of them. This plot point wasn't relevant in the original movie.
* {{p|Regirock}} destroys Kidd's jeep in this manga, instead of just throwing it, like in the movie.
* Brock, May, Max, [[Jessie]], and [[James]] are all seen being swallowed at the same time in the same area by the Tree's blob cells in the manga, rather than Jessie and James getting swallowed first, then followed by Brock, May, and Max.
* In the movie, Ash meets Pikachu again on the crystal bridges, in the manga, they reunite when Ash is getting swallowed by the Tree of Beginning's cells.
* In the original movie, [[Sir Aaron]] takes off both of his gloves. In the manga, however, only one glove is seen taken off and worn by Ash when he decides to use his aura.
* The crystal that encased Sir Aaron doesn't disappear when Lucario passes on, and instead stays and encases his body, too.
* Ash's group don't meet up with their friends outside after the Tree of Beginning is saved, but instead, they find the boy, Pikachu, and Kidd.
* Due to Kidd's jeep getting destroyed, Mew instead takes the group back by transforming into a {{p|Tropius}} and letting Ash, Pikachu, May, Max, Brock, and Kidd ride on its back.
* On the last page, Team Rocket is seen sitting ontop of the Tree of Beginning.

** In addition, the {{p|Beautifly}} decoration on the back of her dress is missing.
* {{MTR}} doesn't wear his knight suit.

* In the movie, the {{p|Weavile}} knock {{AP|Pikachu}} out with an {{m|Ice Beam}} that counters his {{m|Thunderbolt}}. In the manga, he is instead knocked out by the Weavile kicking him.
* When the Weavile attack, {{OBP|Mew|M08}} protects itself by {{m|transform}}ing into one and attacking one of the real Weavile, resulting into the two fighting.
* In the manga, when Ash is asked to raise the staff, he isn't ask to send the fireworks signal nor were fireworks seen unlike in the movie.

== Blurb ==

As our heroes’ ship arrives at Paladin Island, Cilan is surprised to learn that his brothers Chili and Cress are on their way to the island as well. While Ash, Iris, and Cilan wait for them to arrive, they are approached by an Abomasnow. Cilan’s Pansage offers some of its berries to the towering Pokémon—and it responds by attacking! Its Trainer, an arrogant woman named Morana, scolds our heroes for getting too close to her Abomasnow, and it turns out she’s the reason Chili and Cress are coming to the island.

They tell Cilan that Morana challenged them at the Striaton Gym, with an unusual request: if she won, she wanted them to turn over the entire Gym to her! Chili’s hot temper got the better of him, and he agreed to the challenge. The battles didn’t go well for the brothers, though—Morana’s Mamoswine overcame a type disadvantage to defeat Chili’s Pansear, and then her Glalie took down Cress’s Panpour in short order. Now, she’s here to challenge Cilan, the third Gym Leader brother, to complete her victory and claim the Striaton Gym for herself!

Iris advises Cilan to use Crustle in the battle, since its Rock-type moves are strong against the Ice-type Pokémon Morana seems to favor. But he’s determined to defend his Gym with his dearest partner, Pansage. To justify that decision, he offers an eloquent account of their history together, including their travels with Ash and Iris. And soon, it’s Battle Time!

Morana sends out her Abomasnow as expected, and of course Cilan brings out Pansage. After a few attacks, Cilan offers a critical evaluation of Morana’s partnership with her Abomasnow—it lacks warmth and caring, so the two of them aren’t as effective a team as they could be. He talks about how important it is for a Trainer to connect with a Pokémon’s heart, the way he and Pansage have connected. Morana isn’t interested in connecting—she just wants to win, and she interrupts his speech with a devastating attack that leaves Pansage frozen! But the sun’s rays—and Cilan’s voice—can still reach Pansage through the ice, and it breaks free with a powerful SolarBeam. Morana is too stunned to react, and Pansage’s next attack leaves Abomasnow unable to battle. Cilan has won, and the Striaton brothers get to keep their Gym!

As Chili and Cress prepare to head back to Unova, Cilan wonders if he should come with them and get back to being a Gym Leader. But his brothers assure him that everything will be fine—as long as Cilan is enjoying his journey, they want him to keep traveling with Ash and Iris. And that’s just what happens, as their voyage to the Kanto region continues!

==Plot==
While cruising for the next island, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} await for {{an|Alexa}}, who tells them that the next island, [[Paladin Island]], is the last island of the [[Decolore Islands]] before their arrival at [[Vermilion City]]. But then [[Porter]] arrives to inform {{an|Cilan}} that he has received a video phone call from his brothers, [[Chili]] and [[Cress]]. Cilan rushes to take the call, while Alexa asks {{an|Iris}} who Chili and Cress are. Iris answers that Chili and Cress are Cilan's brothers and that all three of them are the [[Striaton City Gym]] Leaders. Meanwhile, Chili and Cress tell Cilan that they are waiting for him at Paladin Island, due to a certain problem that is occurring. Cilan tells them they will meet up as soon as they arrive on the island. Finally, our heroes arrive on Paladin Island, and Alexa sends out her {{p|Gogoat}}. However, she realizes that the deadline for the article she has been working on is today, and temporarily leaves the gang.

Cilan proposes making a picnic since his brothers will be arriving soon, but Iris and Ash volunteer to do the cooking since Cilan is always the one who has to do it. Cilan reluctantly agrees and sends out {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to help him search for berries to cook with. Iris and Ash start cooking, but struggle with it. Cilan and Pansage return with a lot of berries, just when an {{p|Abomasnow}} emerges from the same place. Ash looks up Abomasnow on his [[Pokédex]], and Pansage walks up to Abomasnow and offers it some berries, but Abomasnow just hits him away. Right after, [[Morana]], a narcissistic female Pokémon Trainer hailing from Sinnoh, emerges from behind Abomasnow, and reveals that it is her Pokémon. Not long after, [[Chili]] and [[Cress]] find the gang and run towards them, but also see Morana, and reveal that they know each other. This makes Cilan wonder what is going on, and Chili explains everything to the gang. A flashback shows Morana at the Straiton Gym requesting a battle which, if conclusive in her victory, will grant her ownership of the Gym. Cress immediately refuses to accept such a ridiculous and high-stakes challenge, but after some provocation from Morana, Chili becomes angry and accepts.

A one-on-one battle begins between Morana and Chili. Chili sends out {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, and Morana sends out {{p|Mamoswine}}. Chili becomes excited since Pansear's {{type|Fire}} moves will be super effective, and commands {{m|Fire Punch}}. Morana commands Mamoswine to counter with {{m|Ice Fang}}, and Mamoswine overpowers Pansear. Mamoswine uses {{m|Double Hit}}, and Pansear attempts to counter with {{m|Flame Charge}}, but to no avail, as Mamoswine overpowers him again. Mamoswine uses {{m|Ice Beam}} and lands a direct hit, knocking Pansear out. Morana rants about how easy that victory was, and challenges Cress next. Cress, forced to accept due to Chili's loss, chooses {{TP|Cress|Panpour}} and Morana chooses {{p|Glalie}}. Panpour is commanded by Cress to use {{m|Scratch}}, and Glalie is commanded by Morana to use {{m|Headbutt}}. Glalie's move prevails and smashes Panpour into the ground. However, Panpour recovers and uses {{m|Water Gun}}, but Glalie uses {{m|Water Pulse}}, once again prevailing over Panpour's move and causing even more damage. Glalie uses {{m|Sheer Cold}}, knocking Panpour out. Morana once again starts ranting since she easily won both battles, and is ready to take her rightful place as the new Gym Leader. However, Cress and Chili inform Morana that she cannot yet take over the Gym as she still has to defeat Cilan. Morana agrees to this and allows Cress and Chili to continue running the Gym until she does so.

The scene switches back to the present, and now fully aware of the situation, Cilan agrees to battle Morana in order to protect the Straiton Gym from falling into her hands. Morana recalls her Abomasnow and tells Cilan to meet her at the lighthouse in one hour. After Morana leaves, Ash asks Cilan which of his Pokémon he will use to battle Morana, and Cilan says "I think you know the answer to that", implying Pansage. Chili and Cress send out Pansear and Panpour so they can reunite with Pansage. Chili and Cress inform Cilan that Morana used {{type|Ice}}s against both of them in their battles, and that she will most likely do the same when battling Cilan, putting Pansage at a type disadvantage. However, Cilan states that Pansage has been with him since the very start of his journey and longer than any of his other Pokémon, and there is no one else with which he would rather do this job. Cilan also says that he should not be overconfident and will need to rely on everything he has learned (especially from Iris and Ash) while on his journey. Everyone encourages Cilan to do his best in his battle, and he promises that he will emerge victorious.

The gang goes to the lighthouse and Morana appears. The battle starts, and Morana sends out her Abomasnow, just as expected. Abomasnow's ability, {{a|Snow Warning}}, immediately makes it start to hail. Directly after, both Pokémon use {{m|Bullet Seed}}, and Abomasnow's overpowers Pansage's. However, Pansage dodges the incoming seeds and uses {{m|Dig}}, eventually resurfacing behind Abomasnow and hitting it. However, Abomasnow fires back with {{m|Strength}}, and Pansage takes damage as well. Cilan commands Pansage to use {{m|Solar Beam}}, and Morana commands Abomasnow to counter with {{m|Blizzard}}. Cilan commences his famous "Evaluation Time", and touches upon both Abomasnow's good points and bad points. Morana appears nonchalant toward his words and attempts to resume the battle, but Cilan starts reminiscing about the many battles he has seen throughout his time on his journey, as well as his time growing up and as a Gym Leader. Cilan states that one cannot truly enjoy victory without actually being close to their Pokémon. Morana expresses nothing but boredom toward Cilan's words and has Abomasnow use Sheer Cold, but Pansage dodges with Dig again. Abomasnow prepares to fire Blizzard into the hole, but Pansage stops it cold with Bullet Seed, then resurfaces behind Abomasnow and prepares to use {{m|Rock Tomb}}. However, Abomasnow beats him to the punch and uses another Blizzard, {{status|freeze|freezing}} him. Morana commands Abomasnow to finish Pansage off with Strength, and Ash, Iris, Chili, and Cress worry that Morana will win. However, knowledgeable Cilan is well aware that both his voice and the sun's rays can permeate through the ice in which Pansage is trapped, so he commands Solar Beam, which stops Abomasnow's Strength attack cold and sends it flying back. Pansage uses a final Rock Tomb attack, causing Abomasnow super effective damage and knocking it out.

Cilan has won the battle and successfully secured the Straiton Gym for both him and his brothers, making the entire gang congratulate him. Morana, however, appears shocked and disappointed at her loss. After being congratulated by Cilan for winning, Pansage walks over to Abomasnow and again offers it some of the fruit from his head. Unlike before, Abomasnow accepts Pansage's offer and eats the fruit, loving it. Morana recalls Abomasnow and assures Cilan that she will be the victor next time they battle, and subsequently leaves. Day turns to evening, and the gang meets up with Alexa at the pier, who failed to complete the article that was due. Cress and Chili bid farewell to Cilan, but Cilan reveals that he is debating continuing on with Iris and Ash and going back to the Straiton Gym with his brothers. Cilan is not sure what to do, but Chili and Cress inform him that they will work as hard as they can to defend the Gym from challengers like Morana, and that Cilan should continue on his journey since he has been enjoying and benefiting from it so much. Cilan agrees, and they all shake on it, and Pansage, Pansear and Panpour do the same. Cress and Chili wave goodbye to Ash, Iris and Cilan who are cruising for Vermilion City.

==Blurb==

With his first Gym Badge at stake, Ash’s battle challenge rages on. So far, our hero has defeated one of the three brothers who lead the Striaton City Gym, and lost to another. He now faces the deciding match against Cilan. Early in the match, the Gym Leader’s Pansage proves to be a formidable opponent, and Cilan declares Ash’s battling style a bit bland and predictable. Just then, Ash tells Oshawott to aim its Water Gun against the Gym wall, a creative strategy that ultimately leads to Ash’s victory, earning him the Trio Badge!

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is busy with its next assignment—to extract the mysterious substance known as future energy from the Dreamyard, an abandoned research facility. But one of the research scientists, Dr. Fennel, has discovered their plans. She joins Ash, Iris, and Cilan, as well as the Pokémon Munna and Musharna, in an attempt to stop Jessie, James, and Meowth. However, it is to no avail, and Team Rocket escapes with the data!

Back at the Gym, Cilan reveals that as a Pokémon Connoisseur, he’s fascinated by Ash’s ability to see the pairing possibilities between Trainer and Pokémon. His interest ultimately leads him to ask if he can join our hero on his journey. Ash agrees, and the traveling trio of Ash, Cilan, and Iris is born!

==Plot==
After beating [[Chili]], and losing to [[Cress]], it is the decisive match for the {{Badge|Trio}} at the [[Striaton Gym]] for {{Ash}}. {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} gathers light with the sprout on his head before firing a {{m|Solar Beam}} at {{AP|Oshawott}}. Quickly, Oshawott grabs the scalchop on his belly and holds it out. The strategy works, with the Solar Beam being deflects upwards and through the Gym’s roof. {{an|Cilan}}, his opponent, is full of praise for Oshawott, but nevertheless Ash is not completely out of the woods - he still has to finish the battle. Pansage follows up with some {{m|Bullet Seed}} attacks, but Oshawott once again deflects them with ease, his scalchop acting as a shield. Confident, Ash commands Oshawott to use {{m|Razor Shell}}. Oshawott readies his scalchop - it glows blue for a while, before Oshawott jumps up and prepares to strike Pansage. However, the Grass Monkey Pokémon retaliates with Bullet Seed, sending Oshawott into panic and disarray. As the {{t|Water}} Pokémon struggles, he loses his grip on the scalchop, which flies to the edge of the field. Oshawott stands back up, but Pansage keeps him away from retrieving his scalchop.

Cilan announces a slogan of his: "Time for the battle to be served!", and the cheerleaders go wild with excitement. In his dream-like [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] state, he briefly mentions that Ash uses "simple, deducible, and bland" attack patterns and has no compatibility with Oshawott, unlike the bond shared between him and his Pansage, whose attacks have the "aroma of a freshly mowed lawn". He ends with a simple pose, remarking that Ash made a poor choice of Pokémon with regard to [[type]] compatibilities. Ash explains that types do not matter, but again, Cilan believes otherwise, claiming he is becoming desperate, and with his "sour" attitude, he will "just spoil the flavor of Oshawott's battle". Ash states they will see about that, and immediately, he pulls a stunt: he asks Oshawott to aim his {{m|Water Gun}} at the wall. His Water Gun ricochets off the wall, between the rocks and towards his scalchop - the scalchop flies into the air, and Oshawott catches it. With that, he readies another Razor Shell attack, and this time, he manages to hit his target; Pansage is caught by surprise and limps backwards. Cilan tells Pansage to use {{m|Bite}}. At that instant, Ash tells Oshawott to use Razor Shell, and both Pokémon rush towards each other, ready to attack. Both score a glancing blow on their opponent; they face away from each other and stand there, motionless. Suddenly, Pansage gives way and faints, shocking Cilan and sending a wave of disappointment through the group of cheerleaders.

Oshawott sits on the ground to rest. Ash is now victorious, having defeated two of the three [[Striaton City]] [[Gym Leader]]s. The Striaton Gym brothers award Ash the {{Badge|Trio}}. Turning to {{an|Iris}}, Ash tries to show off his Badge, but she reprimands his decisions to challenge all three Gym Leaders and for using Pokémon of incompatible types. Ash gets annoyed and rebukes Iris by trying to challenge her to a Pokémon battle, but she refuses, seemingly embarrassed. Cilan steps in and talks about the two's "bouquet", and Iris subsequently scolds Ash for being a "small child", not knowing what "bouquet" is. As Cilan questions if the two are traveling together, Iris admits they aren’t and turns to leave, leaving Ash and Cilan puzzled.

Meanwhile, the [[Team Rocket trio]] have arrived at the desolate [[Dreamyard]]. They begin their mission by assembling a machine to collect data to be sent back to their headquarters. As the machine rumbles and kicks into life, the surrounding area glows bright pink; the disturbance caused by the machine forces a dormant {{p|Musharna}} awake, and [[Fennel]]’s {{TP|Fennel|Munna}} from elsewhere senses it, causing its eyes to glow and itself to shiver in fear.

Ash arrives at the Striaton City [[Pokémon Center]]. As he hands his Pokémon over the counter, he addresses the [[Nurse Joy]] as the one whom he met at [[Accumula Town]]. However, she corrects him, telling him that she is the older sister of the Joy at Accumula Town, and shows him her family photo: three rows of identical Joys crowded together within the small frame. As Nurse Joy questions if he came from a Gym battle, Cilan affirmatively answers from behind, and requests to talk to Ash.

Seated in a corner of the waiting area, Cilan questions Ash fervently, with regard to their previous battle, before a confused-looking Ash is called on to receive his Pokémon. An {{p|Audino}} appears with Ash's Pokémon, and Ash soon learns from Cilan that Nurse Joy has an {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} helping her within the Pokémon Center. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]].

Suddenly, Iris rushes into the Pokémon Center, her {{TP|Iris|Axew}} glowing pink as she carries him to Nurse Joy. She exclaims that the city is emitting pink light, and as Axew was exposed to the light, he too started glowing pink and fell asleep. At that moment, a woman in a lab coat, together with her Munna, runs into the Pokémon Center. As she sees Axew, she quickly asks Munna to wake Axew up, and the Dream Eater Pokémon complies: it starts consuming the pink cloud surrounding Axew. As soon as Munna is done, the floral patterns on its body glow for a while, before it expels a dense cloud that was Axew's dream. Axew finally wakes up, and as he watches his own dream, seeing himself running, before evolving into a {{p|Fraxure}}, and then into a {{p|Haxorus}}. The lady introduces herself as Professor [[Fennel]]. Leading Ash, Iris and Cilan outside, they find the city covered in pink, and Professor Fennel explains that it is actually [[Dream Mist]] produced by Munna's evolved form, Musharna. Ash checks his Pokédex for Musharna.

A police car pull up in front of the group, and [[Officer Jenny]] alights from the car, telling Ash to return Pikachu into his [[Poké Ball]] to avoid contact with the Dream Mist. Ash reveals, to Iris's and Cilan's surprise, that Pikachu does not like to go back into his Poké Ball. Professor Fennel has an idea: she places [[Ash's hat#Best Wishes hat|Ash's hat]] over Pikachu and reassures Cilan that Munna will be all right from the smoke's exposure, and suggests going to the Dreamyard. As the group travels in Officer Jenny's car, they discuss the Dreamyard. Before the explosion had occurred, the Dreamyard was originally a research facility for Pokémon Energy, and it was investigating the possibility of harnessing clean energy through Musharna. However, such research became popular and many people ambitiously wanted rights to the project. As Musharna had to eat dreams in order to develop the energy, it absorbed the negativity of such thoughts and intentions, and thus, facing a great deal of pressure, it was unable to take the stress and caused an explosion. Musharna disappeared, and the research ceased. Fennel explains that she returned to Striaton City when Munna detected Musharna's presence. As they drive further down to the outskirts of the city, they soon notice a strong pink light emitting from behind the trees in front of them.

The Team Rocket trio is extremely pleased with the amount of data they are receiving. While they delight in the success of their mission, a police car suddenly draws to a stop behind them, and the group emerges. Immediately, Professor Fennel realizes what is going on: the machine Team Rocket is using is causing residual energy to react strongly. As Officer Jenny questions who the three of them are, the trio breaks into their {{motto}}, and reveals their identities. As the Rocket trio announces that they are using the residual energy at the Dreamyard to fuel [[Team Rocket]]'s ambition of taking over [[Unova]], Professor Fennel becomes disappointed at the thought of being involved in such a research project. Cilan reminds her of the reason she came to the Dreamyard-- the connection between Munna and Musharna, and Munna agrees. Seemingly in response to their answer, the ground trembles, and lightning bolts rise to the sky to form a pink veil; Musharna calls out in response. A gap soon materializes in front of them and Musharna appears. Professor Fennel approaches it, but Team Rocket capture it with their machine. Ash takes back his hat and tells Pikachu to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}. As the Mouse Pokémon charges himself with electricity, blue beams shoot forth from the machine and attempt to stop him from advancing. Fennel tells Munna to use {{m|Psychic}} to crumple the machine and Pikachu rams it head-on with Volt Tackle, causing the machine to explode and freeing Musharna. Immediately, the pink veil disappears. [[Jessie]] calls out her {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}}, using a {{m|Gust}} attack aimed at the ground to make a clean getaway.

Fennel is now reunited with her Musharna and embraces it, trying to make up for what Musharna has gone through. While she thanks Ash and the group, Cilan goes into his Pokémon Connoisseur state and dreamily talks about Fennel and her Musharna's 'harmony'.

Meanwhile, {{an|Giovanni}} announces that the Team Rocket trio has completed their mission: the data gathered from the Dreamyard has been successfully transmitted and sent for analysis. He tells them to wait for their next mission.

At the Striaton City Gym, Cilan announces to Chili and Cress that meeting Ash has inspired him to go on a journey of his own, and though initially suprised, Chili and Cress offer their support and bid him farewell. On their way out of the city, Cilan asks Ash if he can join him on his journey, and Ash agrees. While Ash and Cilan have decided on their next destination, Iris shows up and decides to travel with them as well. Ash declares that they're all going to work towards their respective dreams together and asks Iris what her dream is, but she simply smiles and says it's a secret. With a newly expanded circle of friends, the three of them now start making their way to the [[Nacrene Gym|Gym]] in [[Nacrene City]].

==Blurb==

After arriving in Striaton City, Ash’s first priority is to battle for his first Gym Badge in the Unova region! But when he arrives at the Striaton Gym, Ash is surprised to discover that there are, in fact, three Gym Leaders: a trio of brothers named Cilan, Chili, and Cress. The Gym Leaders tell Ash he can choose one of them to battle, but that isn’t enough for Ash—he wants to challenge all three! They accept, and the triple match is under way.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has also arrived in Striaton City with a new assignment: finding the remains of a research facility somewhere in the area. Once there, they must collect a mysterious substance their boss calls “future energy,” which has the power to turn dreams into reality. Knowing that they are the only ones who can handle this tough mission, Jessie, James, and Meowth proceed with excitement and confidence!

Back at the Striation City Gym, Ash manages to win the first round, pitting his Tepig against Chili’s Pansear. But he and Pikachu suffer defeat in the second match against Cress’s Panpour. It’s down to the deciding match, and Ash chooses Oshawott to go up against Cilan’s Pansage—an unfavorable matchup that has Iris worried. Can our hero overcome the disadvantage to claim his first Gym Badge?

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} have finally arrived in [[Striaton City]]. As enthusiastic and ready as he was to battle, he soon realizes that he does not know where the [[Gym]] is located. {{an|Iris}} comments on Ash's behavior: typical of a 'small child', and gives a wide grin. As {{TP|Iris|Axew}} appears from within her hair and she feeds him with some fruit, a formally-dressed young man with green hair appears, his green eyes having taken notice of Axew. He recites a short prose complimenting Axew, and then talks about the positive compatibility between Iris and her Pokémon. As Pikachu watches in doubt, he makes a sound that captures the young man's attention. Ash explains that he is from [[Kanto]], the young man introduces himself as {{an|Cilan}}, a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. Ash is confused as to what that is, and Iris goes on to call Ash a little kid. Cilan assures Iris that the job is not well known outside of [[Unova]], and he explains that Pokémon Connoisseur can judge the [[friendship]] between a Trainer and their Pokémon. Ash becomes very interested and requests Cilan to examine his bond with Pikachu. However, at that moment, Iris reminds Ash about his purpose in Striaton City, and Cilan, who happened to know where the [[Striaton Gym]] is, lead the way.

Arriving at a large, grand-looking building, Ash barges in and requests a battle, only what seems like a restaurant. As the waiters, [[Chili]] and [[Cress]] greet them, Cilan reassures Ash by seating him at an empty table. The waiters attempt to take his order, offering him [[Soda Pop]], a delicious lunch, and various other consumables, but Ash is not at all interested. Finally, after a long session of pestering, Ash loses his cool, and demands a Gym Battle by shouting. Ash, enraged, proceeds to take his leave when the lights suddenly dim. He turns to see Cilan and the two waiters walking synchronously into an empty area, taking their positions. As a spotlight shines onto each of them, they briefly mentioned how they would battle, and reveal themselves to be brothers and the Striaton [[Gym Leader]]s. Together, they recite 'It's showtime!', and the wall behind them recedes to reveal a rocky field for battle. Ash now has to choose a Gym Leader as his opponent: Chili and his {{type|Fire}} {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, Cress and his {{type|Water}} {{TP|Cress|Panpour}} or Cilan and his {{type|Grass}} {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. However, Ash decides to take on all three Gym Leaders. Although it is the first time the Gym has ever had such a request, the brothers allow Ash to do so, and his [[Badge]] will be earned by defeating two out of three Gym Leaders instead.

The first battle is a one-on-one battle against Chili and his Pansear, while Cilan referees. Ash sends out his {{AP|Tepig}}, and starts the round with {{m|Tackle}}. Pansear is sent flying into the air, but lands softly on its feet. Chili calls for a {{m|Fire Punch}}, and with one quick blow, Tepig is sent rolling back onto the ground. Taking this opportunity to attack, Pansear follows up with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Quickly, Tepig uses {{m|Ember}} in an attempt to block the attack, but the Flamethrower hits its mark and sends dust into the air. Immediately, Pansear {{m|Dig}}s underground at its Trainer's behest, striking Tepig with a sneak attack. As the Fire Pig Pokémon struggles to get up, Chili has Pansear continue using Dig. Ash, at that instant, orders Tepig to keep running,. To combat its moving target, Pansear reappears in front of Tepig, causing him to trip and to be flung into the air. Using Dig once more, Pansear disappears underground. Ash orders Tepig to follow Pansear underground. As Pansear emerges, Tepig is biting onto its tail. Pansear performs a back-flip, but Tepig refuses to relinquish his bite on Pansear's tail. Tepig spins Pansear around by tail and tosses it across the field. While Pansear struggles to regain balance, Tepig uses another Ember and Tackles it into a wall, causing it to faint. Tepig runs back to Ash and rejoins him and his Pikachu. Cilan declares Pansear unable to battle, and the cheerleaders all sigh in disappointment. Chili [[recall]]s his Pansear, and Ash recalls Tepig as Cress steps up to battle.

The cheerleaders are now cheering on Cress and his Panpour. Ash chooses Pikachu for battle, and starts by telling him to do a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Panpour responds to Cress's command, surrounding Pikachu with its {{m|Double Team}} clones before landing a {{m|Scratch}} attack. As Pikachu lands on the ground, hurt, Cress comments on Pikachu's [[type]] advantage, which would not be very useful against ''his'' Panpour. He tells Panpour to use {{m|Water Gun}}. Pikachu swiftly dodges the jets of water aimed at him using the rocky battlefield. As Pikachu readies a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, Panpour aims its Water Gun at Pikachu's feet, causing him to lose focus as he tries to steady himself. Following that, it douses Pikachu with another Water Gun and follows up with multiple Scratch attacks. While the cheerleaders delight in hushed voices, Pikachu lies sprawled on the ground, struggling to get back on his feet. Ash commands Pikachu use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and Cress starts contemplating; he had already developed strategies against {{type|Electric}} opponents. With a big smile and glowing hands, Panpour uses {{m|Mud Sport}}, causing Pikachu to slip in mud. Panpour launches a Water Gun attack and sends its opponent flying across the field once again, causing Pikachu to faint. Cilan declares Pikachu unable to battle, and the cheerleaders go wild with excitement.

After arriving in Striaton City, the [[Team Rocket trio]] duck into the sewers to receive information of their next mission. Speaking via a monitor, {{an|Giovanni}} orders them to visit a former laboratory located at the nearby [[Dreamyard]], where they are to take control of the area’s mysterious ‘Future Energy'. He logs off and sends them the assembly instructions for the machine they need, while the Team Rocket trio, determined, now heads for the Dreamyard through the sewers.

For Ash's last battle at Striaton Gym, he sends out {{AP|Oshawott}} against Cilan's Pansage, and the choice surprises the onlookers. Oshawott looks over at its opponent and instantly retreats behind Ash’s legs to avoid facing Pansage’s menacing glare. Ash and Pikachu push him onto the field, reminding him of [[BW002|his heroism when he saved]] Pikachu and Axew from Team Rocket's captivity. After some thought, Oshawott promptly changes his mind and decides to fight for Ash. For a start, Oshawott attempts to use Tackle, but Pansage dodges it by shifting to the side, causing Oshawott to be extremely surprised at Pansage's non-aggressive response. Pansage fires a {{m|Bullet Seed}}, striking Oshawott’s back as he tries to flee. Cilan points out that Ash has lack of affinity with Oshawott. He tries to show the contrast with his Pansage, and tells his Pokémon to move towards Oshawott. As Pansage does so, Oshawott shivering in fear. Pansage Bites down on his head, leading Oshawott to walk into a rock as he tries to shake off his opponent. Ash tries to encourage Oshawott and tells him to use Water Gun, but the Grass Monkey Pokémon dodges the jets of water by repeatedly jumping, thereby causing Oshawott to feel tired from the effort. Ash pushes Oshawott on, telling him to aim carefully, yet none of the jets manage to hit Pansage. Finally, Oshawott's attacks connects. Cilan decides to intensify the battle, and calls for a {{m|Solar Beam}}. Collecting a ball of light at the turf on his head, Pansage grabs it, pulls back and shoots it at Oshawott. As the light snakes its way across the field, Oshawott, now stunned, is shocked at the thought of what is to come.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} arrive in [[Striaton City]] and meet {{an|Cilan}}, a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] and one of the local [[Gym Leader]]s, as well as his brothers and fellow [[Striaton Gym]] Leaders, [[Chili]] and [[Cress]].
* Rather than challenging just one of the Striaton Gym Leaders, Ash chooses to challenge each of the three Leaders to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, with best two out of three counting as a victory.
* [[Ash's Tepig]] and {{AP|Oshawott}} are both revealed to know {{m|Tackle}}.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Snivy}}
* {{Ash}} battles three [[Gym Leader]]s in one episode for the first time. This surpasses the record of two Gym Leaders in one episode, when Ash battled [[Tate and Liza]] in ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]''. Like this episode, one of the Gym Leaders was voiced by [[Jason Griffith]].
* One of the girls in the [[Striaton Gym]] is a [[Animated series character recycling|lookalike]] of Brittany from Same Old Song and Dance, and another looks like [[Janet]] from ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', and another is a lookalike of [[Erica]] from ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''.
* This is the only time when Ash loses an official [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} and doesn't have to take a [[rematch]] against the Gym Leader he lost to in order to get their [[Badge]].
* The English [[dub]] of this episode aired one day before {{game|Black and White|s}} were released in North America and one day after it was released in Europe.
* The episode's English dub title plays on the terms "{{wp|team leader}}" and "{{wp|triple threat}}".
* Beginning in this episode's [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment, the Pokémon say their names after being revealed, like in the [[original series]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.
* Ash challenges all three Gym Leaders, much like he attempted to do [[EP007|655 episodes earlier]] with the [[Sensational Sisters]], who are also a trio of siblings like the Striaton brothers. This time, however, his request was accepted because [[Chili]], {{an|Cilan}}, and [[Cress]] each have a Pokémon able to battle.
* Ash's battle with Cress marks the first time since ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', 408 episodes earlier, that Ash does not use a Pokémon from the concurrent [[region]] in an official Gym battle.
* This episode and [[BW006|the next]] were adapted into the book [[Ash's Triple Threat]].
* {{TRT}} doesn't recite their {{motto}} in this episode.

===Errors===
[[File:BW005 error.png|thumb|200px|Pansear's red arms]]
* When Cilan sits Ash down on his table, his bag of groceries disappears.
* When {{AP|Tepig}} is spinning {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} around by its tail, Pansear's arms briefly turn red.
* In the English dub, {{an|Giovanni}} refers to the [[Dreamyard]] as the "Dream Site", a possible translation of its Japanese name.
* In the {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese}} dub, Pansear's Chinese name is mistakenly written as 炎爆猴 ''Yánbàohóu'' (lit. Flame-bursting monkey) in the subtitles of the trailer.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, while they are cheering before and during the battle, the cheerleaders cheer for Chili. In the original Japanese version, they cheer for both Chili and Pansear.
* In the English dub, Giovanni wants Team Rocket to gain complete control of the energy at the Dreamyard. In the original Japanese version, he wants them to look for clues about the new dream energy.
* In the English dub, Ash yells out {{AP|Pikachu}}'s name when Pikachu gets hit by {{TP|Cress|Panpour}}'s first {{m|Scratch}}, while in the Japanese version, he just gasps.

==Blurb==

After finding out that this year’s Unova League will be taking place in Vertress City, Ash can’t wait! Our heroes say goodbye to Cynthia and Jervis and off they go, planning to stop by the Village of Dragons on the way so Iris can visit her hometown.

During a break for lunch, Iris and Emolga have an unpleasant encounter with a group of three well-dressed and snooty girls, who throw around some insults about their appearance and then flounce away laughing. Iris is furious at their arrogance, and heads into town to find out who the mean girls were and where to find them. It seems the three are part of the Flower Garden Troupe, a group of female performers and their Pokémon. That means no guys allowed in their headquarters—and no male Pokémon, either!

But Iris is determined to get in and get even, and she manages to talk Ash and Cilan into coming with her, even when that means all three of them getting decked out in fancy dresses, jewelry, and makeup. Pansage has to wear a pink bow—and even Pikachu’s tail gets a disguise!

Once inside, our disguised heroes ask if they can watch the troupe rehearse, and the leader Moira agrees. She offers them some pointers on style and poise, and then presents them with a series of challenges. First, our heroes’ Pokémon will have to cross a balance beam to demonstrate their sense of grace. When that proves too easy, the stakes are raised: it’s a balance beam battle, and this time there’s a mud pit underneath! Finally, it’s time for the Beauty Battlefield, where Iris finally gets her revenge, defeating Moira and one of her minions and knocking them into the mud. A beautiful victory!

==Plot==
In [[Undella Town]], {{an|Cynthia}} tells {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that the [[Pokémon Center]] has informed her of the [[Unova League]]'s location, which [[Jervis]] says is [[Vertress City]]. Cynthia suggests that the three head there right away so they will have time for preparations before the League. Anxious to get going, the three prepare to leave. Jervis suggests heading there via [[Opelucid City]]. The mention of Opelucid City shocks {{an|Iris}}, who offers an alternate route via the [[Village of Dragons]]. Curious to see Iris's [[hometown]], Ash and {{an|Cilan}} agree. Ash, Iris, and Cilan thank Cynthia for her hospitality, and they all say their goodbyes. After departing from Cynthia's villa, Ash vows that he will win the [[Vertress Conference]].

Having walked through the woods for a while, they decide to stop and enjoy the lunch Jervis packed them. After letting out their Pokémon, they all sit down to eat. Ash and Iris enjoy their meals, and Cilan marvels at how the sandwich's components complement each other. The Pokémon are enjoying their lunch too, especially {{AP|Oshawott}}, who finishes his food fast. Oshawott is still hungry however, and notices {{AP|Pignite}} is near-full so he devours it in an instant. This angers Pignite, who fires a {{m|Flamethrower}} at Oshawott in revenge. This infuriates Oshawott and the two get in a fight. Ash tells them to knock it off, but Oshawott aims a {{m|Hydro Pump}} at Pignite anyway. However, the attack hits {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} instead and sends her flying. Naturally, Iris is terrified and goes to try to find Emolga. Ash, Cilan and the other Pokémon leave their meals and follow her.

The three eventually find Emolga knocked out at the bottom of a cliff, and Iris retrieves her. Ash scolds Pignite and Oshawott for causing this incident and demands them to apologize, which they do. Suddenly, a female voice asks Iris if "that unattractive Emolga" belongs to her. Offended, Iris demands to know who insulted Emolga. Out of nowhere, a trio of elegantly-dressed girls and their Pokémon appear at the top of the cliff. The girl in the middle—the one who deemed Iris's Emolga unattractive—introduces herself as [[Moira]] and her {{p|Cinccino}}, Cinccinoette, as "the most elegant Pokémon in the world." Intrigued, Ash scans Cinccino on his [[Pokédex]]. Moira is accompanied by two other girls, [[Mona]] and [[Cher]], who show off their {{p|Lilligant}} and {{p|Roserade}}, Lilligantette and Roserade-ette as the "second- and third-most elegant Pokémon," respectively. Ash scans the other two Pokémon on his Pokédex as well. Moira explains that they came out here to get some fresh air to enhance Cinccino's beauty, but Iris's "ugly" Emolga soiled her beauty. This enrages Iris, who defends her Emolga. Moving on to Ash's Pokémon, Moira goes on to deem [[Ash's Snivy]] "uptight and pathetic," and concludes that every one of their Pokémon is "ugly and pathetic." Mona and Cher agree, and claim that they must leave so they don't "catch the ugliness" from the group's Pokémon, and so the three walk off. Ash and Cilan are annoyed, but Iris is furious and chases after them. Unfortunately, by the time Iris reaches the road, she is too late, as the three girls have already left in their tour bus. Iris is still determined to catch up to them, however, and the three head to the nearest town to track them down.

In a nearby town, they ask a store assistant if she has seen a bus decorated with flowers. The employee answers that it is the tour vehicle of the [[Flower Garden Troupe]]. Surprised that the group has never heard of them, she goes on to explain that they are a very popular theater group expressing elegance in Pokémon in their shows, but only females and Pokémon may perform. When they aren't doing shows, they practice their acts in their headquarters down the street. Cilan thanks her for the directions, but the woman notes that only girls are allowed in their HQ, so only Iris would be allowed in. However Iris has a plan, and disguises herself and the boys as elegant ladies. Iris also tapes a yellow heart-shaped piece of paper onto Pikachu's tail to make him look female, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} must wear a bow on his head to look more feminine as well. Ash asks Iris why he and Cilan have to do this just for her, but Iris points out that his Snivy was ridiculed too and he should want revenge as well. Though reluctant, Ash and Cilan go along with Iris's plan, and the three "ladies" enter The Flower Garden Troupe’s headquarters.

Once they arrive at the club building, the receptionist asks why they have come. Iris responds that she needs to speak with "Lady Moira." The receptionist, thinking they are friends of Moira's, lets them in. Ash thanks her, but the receptionist is puzzled by Ash's masculine voice.

Inside the building, Iris is ready to confront the girls. They arrive at their practice room, and Mona answers the door. Due to their disguises, Mona doesn't recognize them and is suspicious about the unknown guests. Iris assures her that this is, in fact, the first time they have met and explains that they would like to see them practice their acts so they can learn from them. Mona is still somewhat hesitant to let them in, so she asks Moira if it's all right. Moira says yes, but she first wants them to introduce themselves, and then evaluates their attire. She appears to disapprove of them at first, but suddenly says their pick of attire is perfect. She goes on to say that the Flower Garden Troupe's members always dress in such an elegant way, even in casual times. Ash does not agree with this wisdom, but Cilan whispers to Ash to just play along with it. Next, Moira asks them to introduce themselves, which Iris does. Moira asks who the others are, so Iris introduces Ash and Cilan as {{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}} and Cilanor, respectively. Finally, Moira checks to make sure the Pokémon are female, and Pikachu emphasizes with his tail that he is.

Moira says that in order for the Pokémon to behave elegantly, you need to add "{{tt|-ette|-san in the original Japanese version}}" to their names when addressing them. Ash whispers to Iris that he doubts this will make any difference, but he agrees to call Pikachu "Pikachu-ette". {{TP|Iris|Axew}} wants to come out, but Iris tells him to stay in and go along with it until the session is over. Following Moira, they enter the first room.

Moira says that the first rule in a performance is to always be aware of your audience, that way you will make the best impression. To practice, the three girls pose in front of a mirror with their eyes closed and praise their Pokémon's elegance, while Iris angrily grunts at their vanity. Ash embarrassingly imitates the pose, but Cilan keeps an open mind and reassures Ash. Pikachu and Pansage sigh, still not completely on board with the concept of "Pokémon elegance".

Upon entering the next room, Moira explains Performance Rule Two: unless you and your Pokémon walk with style and grace, your Pokémon's beauty won't shine through. After saying this, Moira sets up a balance beam. The first test is that the Pokémon must be able to walk the balance beam without ever looking down. Snivy and Emolga easily accomplish this, but Moira says there is more to the test. With a push of a button, a pool of muddy water emerges from the floor under the balance beam. Iris asks why the sudden change. Cher explains that grace is harder than it looks: one wrong turn, and a Pokémon's beauty is soiled like a rose being thrown into filthy water—sinking, rather than blooming. Moira explains the first test is for the Pokémon to safely cross the balance beam. The Pokémon that makes it first to the other side of the balance beam is the winner. Though a risky task, Iris politely agrees to do it.

First up is Roserade versus Pansage. Pansage and Roserade bump into each other and each of them attempts to push the other away. When Pansage attempts to punch Roserade away, Roserade dodges to the side and Pansage trips into the mud. Mona hysterically laughs at Pansage's clumsiness. Moira deems Pansage untrained, much to Cilan's disappointment. Iris and Emolga take on Mona and her Lilligant next. Using her Flying-type to her advantage, Emolga effortlessly kicks Lilligant from above and into the mud, causing Mona to panic. Getting back at Mona, Iris imitates her hysterical laugh, and makes Ash and Cilan do so as well. Imitating them once again, a victorious Iris goes on to rub her victory in Mona's face, claiming Lilligant "sank like a rock." Mona, being a sore loser, is concerned, but Moira assures her that she will confront Iris in the next round.

In the final round, it is Cinccino vs. Snivy. Both perform the usual fighting, but Snivy jumps and pounces Cinccino. When Cinccino charges forward at Snivy, she grabs onto Cinccino's hand and tosses her into the muddy water. All of the competitors are surprised by the maneuver. Ash starts to do his victory pose, but soon switches to a more ladylike one. Cinccino doesn't stay dirty for long, and cleans herself off in a flash thanks to a special oil coating in her fur, surprising Iris and Cilan. Ash questions the fairness of Cinccino restoring herself, but Iris is furious.

Upon entering the third room, Moira recites Performance Rule Three: The true beauty of Pokémon is in their strength and introduces them to their battlefield, which is surrounded by a moat of muddy water. Moira notes that their battles have a special rule: not only will the losing Pokémon be covered in mud, but the Trainer will be drenched as well. This is to emphasize that both the Trainer and their Pokémon need to show off their beauty. Iris, determined to win, agrees.

All six competitors battle again in the traditional manner with Emolga and Roserade, Pansage is up against Lilligant, and Snivy versus Cinccino. Emolga wins her battle, but Pansage loses his, causing Cilan and Pansage to be drenched in the mud. Snivy is up next, but Iris, content to have a confronting victory, tells Ash to let her take this one. Iris commands Snivy to use {{m|Leaf Storm}} many times in the battle, while letting Snivy take hits from Cinccino. At last when Snivy knocks Cinccino and Moira into the mud, Cinccino cannot use the oil to shake the mud off, much to Moira's dismay. Moira wonders how that could happen to Cinccino. Iris answers this and explains that the flurry of Leaf Storms from Snivy gradually rubbed away the oil on Cinccino's fur. Hearing this, Ash and Cilan realize why the Leaf Storms weren't hitting Cinccino, and they say it was a smart move.

Iris arrogantly tells Moira that she deserved that defeat, and hysterically laughs, which infuriates Moira. They are interrupted, though, by [[Ms. Chandler]], the manager of The Flower Garden Troupe. Ms. Chandler congratulates the guests on defeating their top member Moira, and asks if they would join the Troupe. The three anxiously thank her for the offer, but decline and say they must leave, and do so immediately. Ms. Chandler tries to catch up with them, but they are too fast, much to her dismay. After changing back into their normal clothes, the three head off to Vertress City once again.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pikachu as female Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu disguised as a female]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Heatmor}}
* This episode includes {{Ash}} [[cross-dressing]], which he has done once in every preceding series. The previous occasions involved him [[EP026|dressing up to challenge the Celadon Gym (which he had been banned from)]], [[AG042|helping someone practice confessing their feelings]], and [[DP062|serving at the Mountain Hut Maid Café]].
** Additionally, Ash assumes the name "Ashley", the same name he took when he cross-dressed for the first time. In another similarity, both this and the first cross-dressings were for disguise.
* This is the season premiere of [[S16|Pokémon: BW Adventures in Unova and Beyond]].
* During this episode, {{AP|Pikachu}}'s tail has a heart-shaped piece of paper taped on to make him appear female, marking the first time that the {{pkmn|anime}} has acknowledged Pikachu's [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].
* [[Cilan's Pansage]] is confirmed to be male in this episode.
* [[Moira]] [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] in this episode by pushing the split-screen out while arguing with {{an|Iris}}.
* In the shot after Iris puts her disguise on, the costumes she and Ash wore in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' can be seen in the background.
* This is one of the few episodes where {{AP|Snivy}} actually laughs as opposed to merely smiling, with the other episode being ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]''.
* A woman who appeared in this episode has a [[Anime character recycling|strong resemblance]] to [[Mrs. Otter]], a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry]]''.

===Errors===
* On the R1 DVD Release, the opening animation featured the version that had clips from [[Be an Arrow!#Opening animation: Version 2 (BW109 - BW122)|Be an Arrow! 2013]] instead of the proper version that had clips from [[Be an Arrow!#Opening animation: Version 1 (BW085 - BW108)|Be an Arrow!]]. It should also be noted that this error did not occur in the television broadcast of this episode.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} [[dub]], "''{{m|Tail Slap|Moc Ogona}}''" is called "''Moc Ognia''".
* When Pignite scorches Oshawott with angriness, the latter's toothpick disappears, with no indications of being scorched.

===Dub edits===
* When Ash asks Iris why he and {{an|Cilan}} are dressing in feminine clothes, Iris originally says it is for what Moira said about {{AP|Snivy}} and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}. In the English dub, she only mentions Snivy.
* In the Japanese version, when Iris, Ash and Cilan arrive to the Flower Garden Troupe in their disguises, Iris says "Alright then, everyone, let's go", to which Ash replies with a casual "Yeah", but then corrects himself and answers with a more formal "Yes". In the English dub, she says "Alright, girls, let's go", and Ash asks "Girls?" before realizing Iris is referring to them in their disguises.
* Ash and Cilan's disguise names are Ashley and Cilanor in the dub, while in the original dub, they were Satomi and Denmi, which are female variants of their Japanese names, Satoshi and Dent.
* In the English dub, Ash and CIlan say their feminine names when Iris introduces them to Moira. In the Japanese version, they just mumble.
* Moira states in the English dub that whoever trains at the Flower Garden Troupe must add "ette" at the end of their female Pokémon's names. In the Japanese version, however, she says that they need to put "Chan" at the end of their name, which is a common title the Japanese put at the end of the names of children and females when talking to them.

Could someone edit the Looker link on Errors? Thanks.--[[User:Pikalup|~Pikalup~]] ([[User talk:Pikalup|talk]]) 13:04, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
:Looker's page is simply named "Looker" so the game template isn't unnecessary. I've corrected it though. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 13:08, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

== Amoongus move ==

Can anyone identify what the move the Ammongus used when they attacked Ash's group. I can identify that it is probably a beam attack, but I'm not sure if it is {{m|SolarBeam}} or {{m|Hyper Beam}}. [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 20:48, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
:SolarBeam, obviously (it's even listed in the page). SolarBeam is bright yellow while Hyper Beam is white and pink.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:04, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
::It wasn't listed in the page but thank you. (forgot the signature sorry). [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 21:50, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

== BW023 and 024 ==

''This episode is notable for removing the events of the originally planned BW023 and BW024 from continuity, making the two-parter episode no longer part of canon.'' Is this technically true? We didn't know what was going to happen in them (aside from the vague "Team Rocket fights Team Plasma" and "Looker appears") and they were never referenced in any later episode, so were they ever part of the canon to begin with? As far as I understand, anime canon is {{tt|what is aired|with the most recent airing taking precedence in any contradictions}} and excludes any pre-production changes or advertising materials, so since these episodes were never aired, they were never canon at all. The most we can say is that this episode proved that TVTokyo no longer intended to rework and air BW023/024 as they had originally stated. Am I right or wrong? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:01, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
:I disagree. Those episodes were considered canon at the time the Burgh gym battle episode aired, in which Matori actually did vaguely reference the episodes by saying "Giovanni is very busy right now;" anyone who knows that the episodes existed would know that Giovanni being busy relates to the aftermath of those episodes. Jessie, James and Meowth also ask Matori for their "next mission" from Matori, and being that the previous mission was the Meteonite, acknowledging that the Meteonite mission is over is also an implicit acknowledgement that those episodes' events happened. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] ([[User talk:The Great Butler|talk]]) 05:18, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

==Blurb==

Leaving Honey Island and continuing via another ship, our heroes are surprised to see Porter, the chief purser from their previous ship, on board! Actually, it’s not the same person: this new Porter explains that he’s an identical cousin of the one they met previously. He then tells everyone of the upcoming Marine Cup Tournament, and Ash and Iris can’t wait to be part of it!

They also meet Mrs. Ripple, one of the foremost gem collectors in Unova, who is planning a showing of her gem collection after the tournament—and her Purrloin, who (like all Purrloin) gives Cilan the heebie-jeebies. When Mrs. Ripple graciously agrees to show our heroes her collection privately, everyone is especially taken with the Eye of Liepard, the biggest known gem of its kind in the world. Although fellow collector Mr. Shaw is determined to purchase the rare gem, Mrs. Ripple refuses, much to his frustration.

The Marine Cup Tournament begins on the ship’s main deck. An unfamiliar Trainer named Teaque and his Vanillite quickly eliminate Iris and Axew, and the final round is Ash and Pikachu versus Teaque, who’s using a Galvantula this time. Meanwhile, who should break into the locked gem room but Mr. Shaw, who just has to have another look at the Eye of Liepard...

Back on deck, Galvantula’s Thunderbolt apparently goes awry and strikes the ship’s electrical system, causing a temporary blackout! Once the power is restored, Ash and Pikachu win their battle—and then, out of nowhere, Mrs. Ripple’s Purrloin launches itself at Teaque in a furious attack! Ash manages to pry Purrloin off his opponent, and it runs away. Mrs. Ripple and Porter go looking for it, and when they decide to check the gem room, they find that Mr. Shaw has broken in and the Eye of Liepard is missing! Mr. Shaw insists it was already gone when he got there, but considering his extreme interest in the gem, he’s still the primary suspect.

But after a thorough search, Porter reports that they couldn’t find the stolen gem anywhere in Mr. Shaw’s things. It’s a mystery—and as it happens, one of our heroes is a big fan of mysteries. Just like that, Connoisseur Detective Cilan is on the case! He starts to piece together the evidence, and quickly realizes that even though he doesn’t like Purrloin, it was in the room during the blackout when the gem was stolen, so it’s his best witness. And given Purrloin’s attack on Teaque after the blackout—plus the water spot on the rug right next to the table that held the gem—he has a conclusion: Teaque must have caused the blackout on purpose, then sent his Vanillite into the locked room through the air ducts to steal the Eye of Liepard!

The case is solved, the gem is returned, and the adventure on the high seas continues!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} board another cruise ship traveling through the [[Decolore Islands]]. As everyone notes that they have a lot of time to waste before the ship reaches the next island, they are greeted by [[Porter]], which confuses {{an|Iris}} because she believes he left with the previous ship that took them to [[Honey Island]]. This Porter explains that the Porter they previously met is his cousin, and Iris figures this is just like the families of [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]]. Porter then invites them to participate in the [[Marine Cup Tournament]], which allows passengers to battle against each other on the ship's special battle arena. In addition, Porter reveals that after the tournament, [[Mrs. Ripple]]'s gem collection will be on display in the ballroom for public viewing, and gestures to the lady in question some distance away. {{an|Cilan}} seems to recall Mrs. Ripple from somewhere, and Porter explains that Mrs. Ripple is a renowned gem collector from [[Unova]] who has made multiple appearances on television.

Just then, Mrs. Ripple calls out to her {{p|Purrloin}}, and Cilan trembles, as he has an unexplained fear of them. Everyone introduces themselves to Mrs. Ripple, although Cilan remains extremely nervous around Purrloin. Mrs. Ripple explains that Purrloin has been on edge recently since she's been carrying the "Eye of {{p|Liepard}}" around; a very precious jewel. Iris asks if they can see it, and Mrs. Ripple brings everyone to the room where her jewels are kept, guarded by her {{p|Watchog}}. In the middle of the room, Mrs. Ripple opens her briefcase full of various rare gems, introducing the "{{p|Swanna}}'s Tear", "{{p|Lilligant}}'s Bloom", "Star of {{p|Cryogonal}}" and finally, the "Eye of Liepard". Cilan comments that the gem looks exactly like its namesake, and Mrs. Ripple confirms that it is a rare gem found in Unova; her specimen is the largest found of its kind, but Purrloin doesn't seem fond of it. As though making a point, Purrloin sourly leaves the room, leading Cilan to suggest that perhaps Purrloin feels that Mrs. Ripple is more concerned over the gem than over Purrloin. Suddenly, a portly, well-dressed man enters the room, pushing past Watchog; Porter introduces the man as [[Mr. Shaw]]. Mr. Shaw compliments Mrs. Ripple on her "Eye of Liepard", begging her to let him purchase it, only for Mrs. Ripple to put the jewel back in its case. Mrs. Ripple is insistent on publicly displaying her collection and politely declines Mr. Shaw's requests. Nevertheless, Mr. Shaw claims that he will come to possess the "Eye of Liepard", since he's nicknamed the {{p|Carvanha}} of the gem-collecting world. Laughing proudly, he leaves the room as Watchog angrily slams the door in his face. Iris voices her distaste of Mr. Shaw as Porter explains that Mr. Shaw is also a gem collector, but one who keeps his collection private.

Shortly after, the crew announces the commencement of the Marine Cup Tournament. In the first match, Iris goes up against [[Teaque]], sending out {{TP|Iris|Axew}} while Teague sends out {{p|Vanillite}}, unnerving Iris and Axew. Ash cheers them on while Cilan notes that since all the battles are singles, Iris is pinning everything on Axew. Cilan suddenly sees Purrloin run up a flight of stairs, and recoils in fear. Meanwhile, a man in a trenchcoat walks past Mrs. Ripple's Watchog, briefly glancing at it before walking away.

Iris orders a {{m|Scratch}} against Vanillite, to which Teaque responds with {{m|Double Team}}, surprising Axew. Iris commands a {{m|Dragon Rage}} to blast through all the Vanillite clones, but fails to hit the real one. Teaque orders an {{m|Ice Beam}} that freezes Axew in place, knocking him out. Ash is determined to win the tournament for Iris's sake. While his battle plays out on the display screens, Mrs. Ripple approaches Porter saying that Purrloin is missing. As Porter agrees to help find Purrloin, Purrloin has made it to the jewel room through the air vents and leaves the room as soon as it appears.

The tournament proceeds with Ash defeating a {{p|Gurdurr}} and {{p|Eelektrik}} and Teaque defeating an {{p|Amoonguss}}, leaving them as the finalists. To everyone's surprise, Teaque sends out his {{p|Galvantula}}, declaring that he had planned to use it instead of Vanillite if he made it to the finals. Ash is enthralled by the prospect an {{t|Electric}} battle and sends {{AP|Pikachu}} into the fray. While this happens, Porter and Mrs. Ripple decide to see if Purrloin is in the jewel room. Both Teaque and Ash order a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, causing a deadlock between the two as their electric attacks clash. Teaque silently signals to Galvantula, who holds back its Thunderbolt and causes the combined moves to fly towards the ship's electrical systems and shut it down from the blast, causing the lights, cameras and other systems to stop working. While Mrs. Ripple's Watchog notes the lights failing, a {{p|Roselia}} appears in front of it and puts it to sleep with {{m|Sleep Powder}}. Roselia is revealed to belong to Mr. Shaw, who praises his Pokémon before entering Mrs. Ripple's room.

A few moments later, the electrical systems come back on, allowing the tournament to continue. Mrs. Ripple and Porter find Watchog sprawled on the floor before hearing Mr. Shaw's panicked scream, and enter the room. Mr. Shaw exclaims that the "Eye of Liepard" has been stolen, and the news causes Mrs. Ripple to collapse from shock. Purrloin suddenly runs past everyone and out of the room. Back at the battle, Teaque calls for a {{m|Signal Beam}}, but Ash has Pikachu dodge and faint Galvantula with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Ash is declared the winner as Purrloin runs onto the scene, jumping at Teaque and tearing at his face. Ash pulls the furious Purrloin off Teaque, but it is sent flying right into Cilan's arms, who screams in absolute terror.

In the ship's infirmary, Porter informs the gang that the "Eye of Liepard" has indeed been stolen, likely while the tournament was going on. Watchog is depressed, but Mrs. Ripple consoles it that it wasn't to blame. Porter confirms that the crew has began an in-depth investigation to find the thief. Cilan change into his "Detective {{pkmn|Connoisseur}}" identity, much to Iris's dismay, and suggests that Mr. Shaw be investigated since he's the most likely suspect. In a separate room, the {{dec|Captain}} of the ship interrogates Mr. Shaw, who admits that he did trespass Mrs. Ripple's room but only to take another look at the gem, not steal it. The Captain shows everyone footage from a security camera he had installed in Mrs. Ripple's room at her request, which shows the briefcase before it was opened, followed by Mr. Shaw standing in front of the open case with the gem missing. While the exact moment of theft was not captured due to the earlier power failure, but it's a fact that Mr. Shaw was present when the gem went missing. Panicked, Mr. Shaw claims that the gem was already gone when he opened the case. The Captain nevertheless requests that Mr. Shaw be held in the room while the investigation continues, and apologizes for the inconvenience.

In the jewel displaying room, Iris is adamant that Mr. Shaw is guilty. Porter admits that the crew went through all of Mr. Shaw's belongings but couldn't find the gem. Iris suggests that the gem must be hidden elsewhere, but Cilan proposes that everyone might be jumping to conclusions too quickly; the real culprit could be someone else entirely... except that he still has no clue as to who. Cilan runs things through his head again, but sees Purrloin standing next to him and staring straight at him, sending him into another panic. Angry, Purrloin gestures at Cilan, leading Ash to realize that Purrloin might know something...

Outside Teaque's room, Teaque responds to queries that he has no knowledge of the jewel, and was participating in the tournament during the time of theft. Purrloin growls at him, but Teaque declines further questions and closes the door. Iris recalls how Purrloin attacked Teaque in anger, but Porter confirms Teaque's alibi and states that Teaque could not possibly have stolen the gem. Cilan remembers that the gem had been stolen when the blackout occurred and wonders if the two events are connected. Investigating Mrs. Ripple's room again, Cilan spots a wet spot on the carpet near the briefcase, and pieces everything together.

At the battlefield, everyone has gathered at Cilan's request, including Mrs. Ripple, Mr. Shaw and Teaque. Cilan declares that he will resolve the mystery, beginning with asking everyone for their actions and locations during the time of theft. Mr. Shaw continues protesting his innocence. Asking Purrloin, Cilan reveals that Purrloin was in the room shortly before the gem was stolen, which is confirmed by Porter as he saw Purrloin leave the room. Cilan states that this means Purrloin witnessed the crime take place, which means Purrloin knows who the thief is. Purrloin had entered the room through the air vent before leaving through the door, and after the blackout occurred, another Pokémon had followed it into the room through the same way, and took the gem just before Mr. Shaw discovered that the jewel went missing. Mr. Shaw confirms this, and Cilan asks if Teaque has any idea. Teaque insists that he has nothing to do with the theft, and Cilan reveals that the thief had used a Pokémon's {{t|Water}} or {{t|Ice}}-type move to open the case by forming a key that fit the lock, which caused a pool of water to stain the carpet near the briefcase due to the key melting.

Teaque admits to having a Vanillite, but declares that he was in the tournament during the time and therefore he could not have stolen the gem. Cilan, however, points out that Teaque had used his Galvantula in the fight when the theft took place, and had caused the blackout to occur by having its Thunderbolt shut down the ship's electrical systems. Cilan formally accuses Teaque of entering the tournament to create an alibi while his Vanillite committed the theft under his orders. Everyone else stares at Teaque in shock as Purrloin growls angrily at him, but Teaque simply laughs loudly, admitting to everything. Teaque compliments Cilan for figuring everything out, sending Vanillite out to attack with {{m|Blizzard}}. Handing Teaque the "Eye of Liepard", Vanillite prepares to attack, but the man in the trenchcoat intervenes with his {{p|Growlithe}}, knocking out Vanillite and Teaque. Purrloin removes Teaque's hat, sunglasses and fake facial hair as it retrieves the gem, to everyone's surprise. The man in the trenchcoat reveals Teaque to be a wanted gem thief and a master of disguise, and introduces himself as Special Agent [[Tedesco]] from the [[International Police]]. He had boarded the ship in order to catch Teaque, having heard that he planned to steal the gem.

At the ballroom, Mr. Shaw comments on the passengers' excitement over viewing Mrs. Ripple's collection. He admits that it feels much better for gem collections to be displayed, and apologizes to Mrs. Ripple for trespassing. Upon seeing Cilan and the others, Mr. Shaw thanks Cilan for proving his innocence, though Cilan suggests that Purrloin is the one to thank. Ash notes that Purrloin has gone missing again. Mrs. Ripple and the others find Purrloin walking around outside, who happily jumps into Mrs. Ripple's arms. Ash suggests that Purrloin really cares for its owner, and Cilan agrees, since Purrloin had did all it could to help out.

As the narrator concludes the episode, Ash wonders if the experience has cured Cilan's phobia for Purrloin, but Cilan doubts it. Iris is curious as to why Cilan is petrified of them in the first place, and to a sigh Cilan begins his explanation. The scene cuts to a wide shot of the ship, and the sound of the ship's horn is heard before cutting back to Ash and friends. Ash and Iris are shocked at Cilan's explanation as the camera irises out on Cilan's expression of unease.
