==Plot==
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|A Ripple in Time|Ash}} and {{DL|Ash Ketchum (A Ripple in Time)|Pikachu}} are facing [[Arsham|a Trainer]] and his {{p|Cubone}} in a battle at a stadium, with both Trainers being down to their last Pokémon. The match is unexpectedly interrupted by the appearance of a {{p|Celebi}}, and after a bright flash, Ash and Pikachu find themselves [[Time travel|in the future]], where the stadium is overgrown by trees. They see Celebi and follow it through an abandoned settlement and grasslands filled with crystallized Pokémon statues. Ultimately, their chase leads them to a mysterious shrine in a cave, where {{p|Dialga}} suddenly appears before them and roars.

==Trivia==
* In the crowd, it's possible to see some characters last seen in the [[original series]], such as {{an|Casey}}, who had last appeared in ''[[HS17|Those Darn Electabuzz!]]''. This also marks Casey's final appearance in Pokémon.
* The [[Arsham|Trainer]] who battles Ash at the beginning of the short is based on Daniel Arsham himself.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ4TqCYOmM9/ I am in an episode of Pokémon] - @danielarsham on Instagram</ref><ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CZPPHIrFV71/ Self Portraits in the @pokemon universe.] - @danielarsham on Instagram</ref>
* The two doors shown when Ash is running through the cave are the same doors to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse from ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''.
