So this is kind of word-fill to get pass the 15K word barrier, but I didn't wanna do a useless wordfill, so I decide to post the summaries of stories if anyone wants to read them. Many of the latter ones, even I haven't seen so most likely I would go with the plot and construct the world around it so if you guys can reference it from here if you want (who I am bullshitting lmao. as if anyone would even read this)

Pokémon: The First Movie
Team Rocket leader Giovanni recruits scientist Dr. Fuji to create a cloned supersoldier from an eyelash of the mythical Pokémon Mew so Fuji can resurrect his deceased daughter, Amber. In a laboratory, the weapon eventually gains sentience and is named Mewtwo. Mewtwo befriends the salvaged consciousness of Amber, named Ambertwo, as well as the clones of other Pokémon in the laboratory. However, Mewtwo becomes traumatized after Ambertwo and the rest of the clones decompose and die. To stabilize him, Fuji tranquilizes Mewtwo, causing him to fall into suspended animation.
After Mewtwo fully matures and awakens from his long slumber in the laboratory on New Island, he learns of his origins. Infuriated that Fuji and his colleagues see him as an experiment, he uses his psychic abilities to telekinetically destroy the laboratory and kill the scientists. Giovanni, witnessing the carnage afar, asks Mewtwo to help him develop and perfect his mental abilities. However, after Mewtwo realizes his purpose as a weapon for Giovanni's benefit, he destroys Team Rocket's headquarters and returns to New Island, plotting to exact revenge against humanity and Pokémon alike.
After rebuilding the laboratory and establishing a base there, Mewtwo invites several trainers with hologram messages to battle the world's greatest Pokémon trainer at New Island. Ash, Misty, and Brock receive a message and accept the invitation, but when they arrive at the port city, Old Shore Wharf, Mewtwo creates a storm, causing the boats on the wharf to be closed off for safety. As a result, Ash's group is picked up by Team Rocket disguised as Vikings on a boat. After the storm sinks their vessel in the middle of the ocean, Ash and his friends use their Pokémon to reach New Island.
Escorted into the island's palace by the woman who appeared on the hologram, Ash and the other trainers who are able to reach the island encounter Mewtwo. The woman is revealed to be a brainwashed Nurse Joy after she is released from Mewtwo's mind control. Mewtwo challenges the trainers using cloned Pokémon coincidentally modeled after the deceased friends from his childhood. Team Rocket, having also reached New Island, explores its inner sanctum, with a Mew innocuously following them. After Mewtwo's clones effortlessly defeat the challengers' Pokémon, he confiscates them and expands his clone army. Ash chases after his captured Pikachu to the cloning lab, where Team Rocket's Meowth is also cloned. Ash destroys the cloning machine, frees the captured Pokémon, and leads them to confront Mewtwo and his clones. Mew then reveals itself, and Mewtwo challenges it to prove his superiority.
All the Pokémon originals battle their clones, save for a defiant Pikachu and Meowth, who reconciles with his clone after realizing the senselessness of their fighting. Ash, horrified at the pain and anguish felt on both sides of the battle, puts himself in between a psychic blast caused by Mewtwo and Mew's fighting, which petrifies Ash. Pikachu tries reviving Ash with his electricity but fails, and he and the other Pokémon, original and clone alike, are reduced to tears. However, Ash is revived by these tears, and Mewtwo is moved by the boy's sacrifice, realizing that he and others should not have to be judged by their origins, but rather by their choices in life. Departing with Mew and the clones, Mewtwo turns back time to just before the trainers leave Old Shore Wharf and erases everyone's memories of the events.
Back in Old Shore Wharf, the now-restored Nurse Joy reopens the Pokémon Center to shelter the trainers. The storm outside clears up, Ash spots Mew flying through the clouds and tells his friends how he saw another legendary Pokémon the day he left Pallet Town. Meanwhile, Team Rocket find themselves stranded on New Island, unable to remember how they got there, but enjoy their time nonetheless.

Pokémon the Movie 2000
Lawrence III, a Pokémon collector, strives to make a legendary prophecy occur. His plan to capture the legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, will ultimately lead to the capture of the "Beast of the Sea" Lugia. Lawrence sets out in his flying hovercraft to the heart of the Orange Islands to capture the three legendary birds, referred to as the Titans of Fire, Ice, and Lightning. He successfully captures Moltres, but this upsets the balance of power the birds have over the world's climate. Weather across the world begins to go haywire, alerting countless Pokémon to the change. Meanwhile, Ash Ketchum and his companions, Misty and Tracey Sketchit, get caught in a freak storm, and are washed ashore on Shamouti, set in the center of the Orange Islands. Learning that the island festival celebrating the legend is about to begin, Ash is selected as the festival's "Chosen One" and kissed by a girl named Melody, the festival maiden.
At the festival's banquet, Melody explains to Ash he must retrieve three crystal balls from each of the legendary birds' islands and take them to Shamouti's shrine, guarded by a talking Slowking, where Melody will end his task by playing the festival's song, actually the song of Lugia. Ash immediately sets out, led by the troubled Pikachu. Taken to Fire Island by sea captain Maren, Ash and Pikachu find Moltres' treasure, but are interrupted by Team Rocket. Misty, Tracey, and Melody arrive via Melody's multi-purpose boat, followed by Zapdos who has come to claim the island; Pikachu and Zapdos communicate with each other with electric shocks, with Meowth serving as the translator. Lawrence appears overhead, attacking and capturing Zapdos as well as Ash and Co. accidentally. Meanwhile, Professor Samuel Oak, Professor Felina Ivy, and Ash's mother Delia Ketchum fly to the islands, but their helicopter crashes on Shamouti. Having no use for them, Lawrence frees Ash and the others and attempts to capture Articuno, accidentally awakening Lugia in the process. Trying to foil Lawrence's plans, Ash and the others free Moltres and Zapdos, who escape and bring down Lawrence's hovercraft.
Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres engage in all-out war, trying to destroy each other. Ash and Co. manage to escape, gaining Zapdos' treasure in the process, and are transported back to Shamouti by a mysterious water spout revealed to be Lugia. Lugia at first tries to stop the battle, but is outmatched by the birds' powers combined against it. It then telepathically explains the birds and the weather can be stopped by the legend's Chosen One, actually Ash in reality. Ash puts the two treasures he has on the shrine, and then heads off to Ice Island to retrieve the final treasure. To make it through the legendary birds' battle, Ash is assisted by Team Rocket, courtesy of a speedboat made from a dingy and the helicopter's discarded propeller, wishing to save the world to continue their villainy. The group race up to Articuno's shrine and retrieve the treasure, but before they can escape, the legendary birds appear and destroy the speedboat, just as Articuno is defeated. Lugia rescues Ash, Pikachu, and Team Rocket, but Team Rocket heroically jump into the sea upon realizing they are slowing Lugia down. Lawrence tries to catch Lugia, but Lugia uses its Aeroblast attack to destroy his airship and take out Moltres and Zapdos, before collapsing into the sea.
Misty and Tracey rescue Ash and Pikachu, who venture to Shamouti Island's shrine and place the final treasure with the others. Melody plays Lugia's song on her Ocarina, ending the storms and bringing peace to the legendary birds. Lugia rises from the sea, bringing the true Beast of the Sea with him, an underwater current that has been altering the climate. Later, after the birds return to their islands, Lugia departs after thanking Ash. Delia and the professors arrive, and having witnessed her son's actions, Delia asks him to be more careful, which he complies with. Elsewhere, Lawrence laments his decisions, deciding to start his collection again.
Team Rocket reaches the island a day later and is told by Slowking that the audience saw their heroics; the trio begin debating over whether they should change their ways or stay the same.

Pokémon Heroes
The city of Alto Mare is protected by the dragon siblings Latias and Latios. Their father, also a Latios, once saved the city from an evil Pokémon Trainer and their Pokémon, transforming its streets into canals. The father Latios died protecting the city, leaving behind the Soul Dew containing his own soul. The citizens built the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare (D.M.A.) to protect the city if necessary, using the Soul Dew as a power source, which was hidden away to prevent its usage.
In the present, Ash Ketchum and his friends, Misty and Brock, tour the city. During a local water race, Ash and Misty briefly see an invisible Latias. Two spies named Annie and Oakley attempt to capture Latias, disguised as a human girl named Bianca, so they can gain access to the defense mechanism. Ash and Pikachu guide Latias to safety, but she disappears soon after.
At a local museum, the trio learn from its curator and Bianca's grandfather Lorenzo about Alto Mare's history, the defense mechanism, and the evil trainer's fossilized Pokémon on display. Ash finds Bianca and chases her across the city into a hidden garden where Latias and Latios live. As Pikachu plays with the Pokémon, Lorenzo shows Ash the Soul Dew, unaware that Annie and Oakley have used an unmanned aerial vehicle to infiltrate the sanctuary.
That evening, Annie and Oakley capture Latios and the Soul Dew to power the D.M.A., but Latias escapes and seeks Ash's help. Using the defense mechanism, Oakley locks down the city and revives the evil trainer's Pokémon from the dead. After escaping the lockdown, Ash, Pikachu and Latias travel to the museum to rescue Latios and disable the defense mechanism in the ensuing fight. The Soul Dew shatters from its use in the device, causing the city's water to become a tidal wave. Latias and Latios combine their powers to stop the wave, but Latios dies in the process.
Later, Ash and his friends are about to depart Alto Mare when a mysterious girl resembling Bianca arrives to see them off. She gives Ash a sketch of him and Pikachu, and kisses him before she silently leaves. Ash, Misty and Brock leave the city for their next adventure, while Annie and Oakley are sent to jail.

Pokémon: Jirachi, Wish Maker
The Millennium Comet, which appears in the night sky for seven days once every thousand years, is approaching. This is also when the Mythical Pokémon Jirachi awakens from its long slumber to absorb the comet's energy. This energy, in turn, brings life to the area known as Forina where it rests. This time, however, a magician known as Butler and his girlfriend Diane unearth the stone that encases Jirachi, and take it away from Forina.
Meanwhile, in celebration of the Millennium Comet's appearance, Ash Ketchum and his friends May, Max, and Brock arrive at a wide crater, which is where the festival of the Millennium Comet is meant to be. While they're sleeping, the festival arrives and they later watch as everything is set up.
At the festival, May buys a seven-panelled novelty that is said to grant a person one wish if a panel is closed for each night the comet appears and is visible in the sky. Later, Ash and Max accidentally volunteer for one of Butler's magic tricks after Max hears a voice coming from the rock Diane is holding. Max is introduced to Jirachi, who he hears talking from inside the rock. Butler lets Max take the rock, from which Jirachi emerges later that night. Hoping its wishing ability is true, Max wishes for lots of candy, and it appears – but it is revealed that instead of creating the candy, Jirachi teleported it from a stall in the festival.
The intentions of Butler are soon revealed: he was a former scientist for Team Magma who was seeking to resurrect the Legendary Pokémon Groudon. Butler had devised the perfect system, but could not find the necessary amount of power to fuel and was fired from Team Magma, to his humiliation. To try and fuel his machine again, he hoped to use Jirachi's energy for his own purposes. Seeing this danger, the Pokémon Absol, whose presence usually indicates impending disaster, arrives to help Jirachi and alert the group.
Butler attempts to harness Jirachi's power, but is interrupted inside the circus tent by Ash and his friends. With the help of Diane and Absol, they take Butler's bus to Forina so that Jirachi can go home; unknown to them, Butler's Mightyena places a tracking device on the bus as it is leaving. As Ash and his friends travel along bumpy terrain, the device falls off, but Butler still discovers where they are headed. Before the day Jirachi has to return, Max feels upset about losing his new friend, so Ash tells him about one of his friends, Misty, explaining that even though they don't see each other anymore, they will always be friends. Before the group can make it back to Forina, they realize that Butler had followed them there and set a trap. Butler manages to once again steal Jirachi in an attempt to take its power again.
When Butler sets his plan in motion, he is shocked to find out that his work didn't create a resurrected Groudon, but instead created a giant monster resembling Groudon. The fake Groudon soon begins to consume all of life by absorbing the energy from the surrounding area, turning Forina into a wasteland by killing all plants in sight and absorbing all living creatures, including May, Brock, and Team Rocket, who had followed them the whole way. When Diane is absorbed by the fake Groudon, Butler realizes his long-time relationship with her is what is more important, and with Ash and Max's help, he is able to distract the fake Groudon.
Eventually, Jirachi re-absorbs the energy used to create the fake Groudon, and uses Doom Desire to destroy it for good, before leaving for another thousand years of slumber. May, in all the excitement, forgets to close the last panel of her novelty, but simply brushes it off. Though she never reveals what she wished for, she is confident it will still come true. Before they leave Forina, Max hears Jirachi's voice one last time, reminding him that they will always be friends.

Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys
A mysterious meteorite is hurtling towards the earth, and during its entry into the atmosphere, it nearly wounds Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza, a sky guardian living in the ozone layer. The meteorite crashes into a polar zone, revealing two egg-shaped objects. The purple egg regenerates into a Deoxys and picks up the green egg. Rayquaza descends from the ozone layer to fight the invader (believing it to be an enemy). A battle ensues, destroying a nearby research site and traumatizing a young boy Tory (Tou'i), scared by a stampede of Spheal, Sealeo, and Walrein. Deoxys engages Rayquaza and the two take turns delivering devastating blows to each other, but the fight draws to a conclusion when Rayquaza surprises the alien Pokémon and fires a point blank Hyper Beam at it. Deoxys' body is destroyed, leaving only the purple crystal in its chest that falls into the sea, while some researchers take a similar green crystal that it found with them to Hoenn. Beneath the sea, the injured Deoxys regenerates and waits.
Four years later, Ash, May, Brock, and Max travel to LaRousse City, where block robots patrol the area. There they meet Tory, who has since become afraid of Pokémon and a loner. Deoxys, which has fully healed, leaves to find the green crystal which Tory's father and Yuko are testing in a lab. In the Battle Tower, Ash mistakes Tory for a Pokémon Trainer and they battle against Rafe and Sid, with Tory using Ash's Torkoal. However, Tory does not know how to handle Ash's Torkoal and they lose. Tory runs away, stopping to save a Minun which was trapped in a trash can. Later, Ash meets Tory's father and Yuko, and they have fun until they see a mysterious purple aurora, signalling the return of Deoxys.
When Deoxys begins to remove the city's inhabitants to search for the green crystal using copies of itself, it is up to Ash, Pikachu, and Tory to help it find the crystal. This is complicated by the return of Rayquaza and the security robots malfunctioning, which forces Deoxys to create a force field that disables the city's power. Later, Rayquaza manages to break through the force field, resuming its battle with Deoxys that causes havoc in the city. The green crystal is regenerated when Pikachu, Minun, and Plusle charge the power generator in the lab. As the fight continues, Deoxys tackles Rayquaza into the floor. It prepares to finish off Rayquaza, but the green Deoxys arrives, fully regenerated, and quickly transforms into its Defense Forme, saving Rayquaza from the attack. The city is filled with blocks of robots when the chief robot becomes hostile, which overwhelm Rayquaza. The twin Deoxys form shields that protect Rayquaza. Seeing that the two Pokémon are willing to protect it in face of this new threat, Rayquaza begins firing Hyper Beams upon the thousands of robots.
Ash and Tory work together and ultimately manage to shut off the malfunctioning robots by disabling the chief robot, freeing the twin Deoxys and Rayquaza. Tory falls off the towers of robots trying to save Plusle and Minun, but is saved by the green Deoxys. Rayquaza, recognizing that the Deoxys aren't enemies, flies away peacefully, and the Deoxys form green and purple auroras in the sky as a goodbye to their friends, leaving to an unknown destination. Ash states that wherever they are going, at least they would always have each other. Tory, who has gotten over his fear of Pokémon, agrees and later bids Ash and the others farewell at the train station with his new friends, Plusle and Minun, on his shoulders. Ash and his friends continue on their journey through the Hoenn region.

Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew(One of the most tear-wrenching movie I saw in my childhood)
In the distant past, a war is about to break out between Pokémon outside the Tree of Beginning. The Pokémon Lucario informs his master, the Aura Guardian Sir Aaron, of the danger, however to his shock, Aaron seemingly betrays him as he proceeds to leave, sealing Lucario away in his staff. After the staff is given to the Queen of Cameron Palace by a Pidgeot, she witnesses the Tree of Beginning start to shine brightly, which also stops the impending conflict of the war.
Hundreds of years later, Ash Ketchum and his friends arrive at Cameron Palace where a festival is being held to celebrate Sir Aaron. At the festival, Ash, coincidentally wearing a re-creation of Aaron's outfit, competes in a tournament at Cameron Palace and wins, to become the "Aura Guardian" for that year. As part of the celebration, Ash is granted Aaron's staff, where his "Aura", which resembles that of Sir Aaron, ends up inadvertently releasing Lucario from his capture. After adjusting to this situation, he informs everyone of Aaron's betrayal.
Elsewhere, Pikachu and the Pokémon are playing with a Mew that likes to hang out around the palace, when they are chased by a pair of Weavile, sent by an adventurer named Kidd attempting to put a tracker on Mew. After Pikachu protects Mew, he teleports him (and Team Rocket's Meowth) away. Ash and the group soon learn about the events and that Mew has taken them to the Tree of Beginning where it resides. Kidd agrees to help them, and they seek Lucario's assistance as a guide, who reluctantly accepts. During the journey, Lucario voices his disgust at humans, being recalled of his time being trained by Aaron through "time flowers" that exist in the area which show the past, leading to a physical confrontation with Ash. Max ends up giving Lucario a chocolate bar, which he likes and it helps toward him trusting humans, and eventually, Ash earns Lucario's trust by apologizing for his hurtful words as they enter the Tree of Beginning. They are attacked by Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, the tree's guardians who recognize them as a threat.
They enter the tree and are attacked by the tree's defense system, antibody-type mechanisms, triggered by Kidd's survey robots. While Ash initially manages to reunite with Pikachu, the antibodies overwhelm everyone and absorb them into the tree. After Pikachu pleads with Mew, he saves them by reasoning with the tree's defence mechanism. However, the disruption of energy flow in the tree due to the defense system sends the tree into shock, and as Mew and the tree are symbiotic creatures that depend on each other for survival, Mew also becomes very ill. Traveling to the tree's heart, Ash, Kidd, and Lucario witness a time flower's vision of Aaron, revealing that he actually sacrificed himself using his Aura power into the Tree to stop the war. Following the vision, Lucario and Ash combine their Aura to reverse the self-destruction of the tree and save Mew, but Lucario pushes Ash away towards the completion of the process to save Ash.
Following the tree's restoration, a worn-out Lucario stumbles upon one last time flower; through the vision he sees a dying Aaron and learns his master sealed him away to ensure that he doesn't die with him, also thanking him for being his friend. Lucario, having been touched by Aaron's last words, peacefully passes on. As Kidd and Ash reunite with their team, Kidd decides to keep her discovery under wraps and Ash vows to keep Lucario's memory with him.

Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea
An egg belonging to the Mythical Pokémon Manaphy is found floating in the sea by mercenary Phantom the Pirate, but it is subsequently stolen from him by Jack "Jackie" Walker, a Pokémon Ranger disguised as one of Phantom's crew members. Walker escapes Phantom's ship and joins the Marina Group, a traveling circus family that specializes in Water-type Pokémon, to deliver the Manaphy egg to Samiya, an undersea palace built by the People of the Water, whom the Marina Group are descendants of. Pokémon Trainer Ash Ketchum, his Pikachu, and their friends Brock, May, and Max become lost on their journey and encounter the Marina Group in their search for water, inadvertently becoming involved with Walker's mission.
When Team Rocket tips off the egg's location, Phantom pursues the group, during which Manaphy hatches in May's arms and implants her as its mother. The group escapes Phantom through a network of ruins belonging to the People of the Water, where Ash and his friends learn about Samiya. Walker refuses Ash and his friends' further involvement with his mission and departs in a boat with the Marina Group toward Samiya. However, Manaphy starts crying without May, forcing Ash and his friends along. Manaphy's natural instincts lead the boat toward Samiya, and to Walker's dismay, May and Manaphy bond closer. Walker warns May of Manaphy's destiny to become Samiya's leader and that she will eventually need to let it go. May understands, but is distraught nonetheless. Lizabeth, the Marina Group's daughter, comforts May and gives her a bracelet known as the People of the Water's Mark as a memento of her time with Manaphy. When May loses her bandanna to the wind, Manaphy embarks far into the ocean to retrieve it. Ash and his friends, board a submarine operated by Lizabeth to search for Manaphy, eventually finding it along with Samiya during a lunar eclipse. Unbeknownst to them, Phantom had been in pursuit.
While exploring Samiya, the group encounters Phantom, who is able to open the chamber to the Sea Crown, the temple's central artifact consisting of numerous large jewels. Phantom begins to remove the jewels, causing Samiya to flood and sink deeper into the ocean. The group escapes to the submarine while Walker confronts Phantom, reconnecting most of the jewels to the crown before he, Phantom, and one of the jewels are washed away by the flood. Determined to save its home, Manaphy returns to the Crown's chamber with Ash, Pikachu and May in tow, while Lizabeth, Brock, and Max are forced to depart in the submarine. Ash and May reconnect the remaining jewels but notice one is missing. While escaping the flood, Ash finds the last jewel in a fountain. He puts Pikachu, May, and Manaphy in an air capsule that was part of Phantom's submarine before diving into the completely flooded crown chamber and reconnecting the jewel, causing Samiya to rise to the ocean's surface.
While May and Pikachu mourn Ash's apparent sacrifice, Phantom suddenly appears and kidnaps Manaphy. Ash — surrounded by a glowing aura from the rebuilt Sea Crown — pursues Phantom and retrieves Manaphy. Phantom returns with his ship but Manaphy leads a counterattack with several wild Water-type Pokémon, including the legendary Kyogre. With Phantom subdued, Walker is able to deliver Manaphy safely to Samiya, completing his mission. May and Manaphy share a heartfelt farewell before the group watches Samiya return to depths of the ocean. Phantom is arrested while Ash and his friends part ways from Walker and the Marina Group and continue on their journey.

Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai
A hundred years ago, Godey, the architect who designed an enormous set of musical instruments in Alamos Town called the Space-Time Towers, had a nightmare which he wrote down in his diary, which is later discovered by his great-grandson, the scientist Tonio. The nightmare foretold that two entities that should never have met would cross paths in the space-time rift. Their wrath from this meeting will envelop the town, and cause its collapse. In a garden designed by Godey, Darkrai, a nightmare-causing Pokémon hated by everyone else, opened its heart to a girl called Alicia, who invited Darkrai to stay in the garden. Godey realized the nightmare was telling him to make a music disc for "Orácion",[b] a song with the power to soothe the fiercest rage, for future use. Years later, Darkrai saved the life of Alicia's granddaughter Alice after she tripped and fell from a cliff.
In the present, Godey's foretelling comes true when the Pokémon Palkia, who can control space, and Dialga, who rules over time, cause disturbances in the air around Alamos Town as they brawl in the space between dimensions. At the same time, Ash Ketchum, Brock, and Dawn arrive in the town for Dawn's next Pokémon Contest inside the Space-Time Towers. Palkia and Dialga's clashing causes a disturbance in space, which damages the garden. Baron Alberto believes this is the work of Darkrai. While battling Alberto's Lickilicky, Darkrai makes Ash fall asleep and creates a nightmare where Palkia attacks Ash. Darkrai then appears before disappearing down a hole that Ash and his Pikachu are sucked into.
The next day, Palkia, injured and attempting to hide from Dialga, emerges in Alamos Town. It moves the town to another dimension with no way of escaping. Darkrai reappears in the town square, telling someone to go away. Alberto, joined by Ash, Dawn, and other Pokémon trainers, engage in combat with it. Outraged, Darkrai traps many Pokémon in the town square in nightmares. Later that evening, Tonio finds Palkia resting between the Towers. Darkrai tries to attack the resting Palkia. Ash then realizes that Palkia was the one that Darkrai was telling to go away, and that Darkrai's nightmare was warning Ash about Palkia.
As Palkia is about to hit Darkrai with one of its attacks, Dialga arrives, opens fire on the two and immediately runs into Palkia. As Palkia and Dialga brawl, the entire town slowly starts to collapse. After Alice finds the "Oración" music disc, Ash and Dawn climb up to the music disc player on the Space-Time Towers' skybridge while Brock helps evacuate the townspeople. Tonio reveals that if Palkia and Dialga collide once more, the dimension they are in will be destroyed. When Palkia and Dialga discharge their attacks, Darkrai crosses the attacks' line and forms a sphere around itself to block the attacks, engulfing and immobilizing Palkia and Dialga in the process.
After breaking free, Palkia and Dialga both attack Darkrai, causing it to disintegrate. Ash and Dawn realize that the Space-Time Towers are no-longer charged, so Pikachu along with Dawn's Pachirisu use their electrical powers to charge the Towers as they play the "Orácion" disc. The song successfully calms Palkia and Dialga down. Dialga flies away, and Palkia's wound heals. Ash and Dawn successfully plead to Palkia to restore the lost parts of the town, returning Alamos Town to how it originally was, and the townspeople and Pokémon rejoice and return home. Later, the group mourns the loss of Darkrai, with Alice thanking it for its efforts. They then find Darkrai standing on top of the Space Tower.
In the end credit montage, Dawn fails to win a ribbon at her Pokémon contest.

Pokémon: Giratina & the Sky Warrior
Five years ago, Newton Graceland, a researcher of a world exactly opposite to the world of reality called the Reverse World, built a device to absorb the abilities of the Pokémon Giratina, the ruler of the Reverse World, to travel freely between the two worlds. He canceled the project upon learning that the process would kill Giratina. The blueprints were deleted but Newton's assistant Zero never forgot them.
Later, time and space, two dimensions that should never have been in contact, collided and unraveled. Dialga, the Pokémon which rules over time, and Palkia, which controls space, then fought each other in Alamos Town,[c] both believing the other to have violated their territory. The distortions in time and space have defiled the Reverse World with pollution, angering Giratina.
Giratina captures Dialga and drags it into the Reverse World. Shaymin, a hedgehog-like Pokémon which bears flowers, gets caught on Dialga's back when the portal opens. A frightened Shaymin uses its powers to escape through a portal back to the world of reality. Dialga follows Shaymin after it disables Giratina's ability to venture to the world of reality by trapping it in an infinite time loop.
Shaymin runs into the Pokémon trainers Ash Ketchum, Dawn, and Brock, who agree to take Shaymin to the Flower Garden in the mountains, so it and others of its kind can migrate and grow a new garden, through a process called flower bearing. A portal to the Reverse World opens and swallows Shaymin, Ash, and Dawn.
In the Reverse World, Ash and Dawn encounter Giratina but are rescued by Newton. Giratina, who wants to use Shaymin's power to come into the world of reality,[2] targets Shaymin, prompting Newton to send Shaymin, Ash, and Dawn back to the world of reality. Zero, who is also seeking Shaymin's power, attacks the kids with his army of Magnemite, Magneton and Magnezone, forcing them to escape onto a departing train. On the train, Shaymin makes contact with a Gracidea flower and transforms into its Sky Forme, altering its appearance to a deer-like state and allowing it to fly. Ash, Dawn, and Brock board a ferry to the Flower Garden, but are sucked into the Reverse World again, followed by Zero and his Pokémon. Giratina attacks the group after Shaymin provokes it. When night falls, Shaymin transforms back to its normal form. Zero captures Shaymin, forcing it to open a portal for Giratina to return to the world of reality, freeing it from the time loop. Shaymin panics, opening a portal which sends Ash and his friends to the Flower Garden in the world of reality.
Giratina returns to the world of reality and is captured by Zero. Zero uses Newton's device to absorb Giratina's abilities with the intention of becoming ruler of the Reverse World. Newton shuts down the device, releasing Giratina. However, Zero has already absorbed all of Giratina's abilities and Giratina collapses from exhaustion. Shaymin heals Giratina. Zero flees to the Reverse World to cause damage to the world of reality, causing the mountain's glacier to start moving towards the Flower Garden. The Pokémon Regigigas is awakened and along with a herd of Mamoswine, slows the glacier down.
In the Reverse World, Shaymin opens a portal, dragging Zero back to the world of reality. Zero's ship crashes into the glacier. Dawn's Buneary and Swinub freeze the ship, causing the Zero to lose all of the data about Giratina's abilities. Giratina restores the damage caused by Zero, and gives Ash a ride back to the world of reality. It then leaves on its own to track down Dialga. Shaymin and the others of its kind perform flower bearing, before migrating. During the end credits, Newton rescues and reconciles with Zero who is then arrested, whilst Ash, Dawn and Brock send bouquets of flowers to their respective families as an expression of gratitude.

Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life
Thousands of years ago, Arceus, a Pokémon believed to have created entire worlds, saved this world[b] from a meteor storm and nearly died with the loss of its sixteen Life Plates. Arceus was saved by a man named Damos, from the wasteland town of Michina, when he returned the plates to Arceus. Feeling pity for the town and in an act of gratitude, Arceus fused five of its plates into the Jewel of Life, which made the land rich and fertile. Arceus asked Damos to return the jewel to it, but Damos, hypnotized by a Bronzong belonging to Damos' lieutenant Marcus, betrayed Arceus and attacked it, as Marcus believed the town would again become a wasteland. Arceus destroyed the temple which was built as a shrine dedicated to it and was forced to go into a long slumber. Arceus intended to judge humanity when it awakened.
When Arceus began to awaken, massive whirlpools of energy formed around it. These distortions brought together the dimensions of two Pokémon that should never have met: Dialga, which rules time, and Palkia, which rules space. Dialga and Palkia then collided with one another in Alamos Town,[c] both mistakenly assuming the other had threatened their territory. This battle affected the Reverse World, the dimension ruled by the Pokémon Giratina, bringing Giratina into the conflict.[d]
In the present, the Pokémon trainers Ash Ketchum, Dawn, and Brock arrive at a lake near the ruined temple. A whirlpool strikes up, threatening the lives of Ash's Pikachu and Dawn's Piplup. Sheena, a descendant of Damos who investigates disruptions in time and space, summons Dialga, who saves Pikachu and Piplup. Giratina arrives, but Ash, who Giratina remembers from their previous encounter,[d] calms Giratina's rage. Sheena believes that Pikachu and Ash are the thunder creature and its master from legend, said to have changed the fate of the town long ago. Palkia arrives to save Dialga from another whirlpool, before the two return to their own dimensions.
Arceus arrives. Sheena offers it the Jewel of Life to calm its wrath, only to discover that the jewel is a fake. Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina arrive to stop Arceus from destroying humanity. Dialga sends Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Sheena back in time to the day when Damos was manipulated into betraying Arceus, where Damos and Marcus fall to their deaths in the collapsing temple. Upon Sheena's request, Dialga sends her and the others further back.
Unaware of Marcus's true role, Sheena tells him everything about the future. Arceus arrives to collect the Jewel of Life from Marcus' scepter, but Sheena is fooled into betraying Arceus when the scepter is empty. Arceus is forced into a pit and is wounded by silver water and electrical attacks, which Arceus became vulnerable to after it gave Damos the jewel. Marcus' intention is to kill Arceus himself to save the future. Sheena and Damos use their abilities to communicate with the other Pokémon to stop the Pokémon under Marcus' control from electrocuting Arceus.
Ash obtains the Jewel of Life. Calmed by Damos' ability, Arceus absorbs the jewel, restoring its own life force, and reversing the time paradox that nearly killed Ash, Dawn, Brock, Sheena, and their Pokémon. Arceus rescues the people and Pokémon from the collapse of the temple. Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Sheena are transported to the present, only to discover that Arceus is still furious and has defeated Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Arceus spots Ash and recognizes him due to history's alterations, and reverses the destruction it caused and heals its former adversaries. Ash and the others discover Damos has put them on a mural, thanking them for their help in saving the world and seeing that even without the Jewel of Life, Michina is still fertile due to the people and Pokémon cultivating the land. Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Arceus depart for their dimensions, with Arceus realizing that it is truly a part of this world.

Pokémon—Zoroark: Master of Illusions
Crown City once existed in perfect harmony with the forest. Twenty years ago, a man named Grings Kodai absorbed the Time Ripple, created by the time-travelling Pokémon visiting the city, Celebi, to gain the power to see into the future. This caused nearly all of the city's greenery to die. With his power, Kodai became a successful businessman and controlled the mainstream media. Over time, the people and Pokémon worked together to bring the city back to life.
In the present, when his visions begin to fail, Kodai plans to absorb the power of the ripple, once again destroying the city's greenery, before the ripple disappears. He captures the Pokémon Zoroark and the Zorua she takes care of, and transports them across the sea on Kodai's aircraft headed to Crown City. Zorua uses its illusion powers to escape. The Pokémon trainers Ash Ketchum, Dawn, and Brock find Zorua in the forest outside the city and accompany him to Crown City to reunite him with Zoroark.
Kodai unleashes the imprisoned Zoroark upon the city, showing her a video pretending to hold Zorua as a hostage. Zoroark uses her illusion powers to take the form of Entei, Raikou, and Suicune, the guardian protectors of the city in ancient times, scaring the townsfolk. Kodai and his secretary Rowena manipulate the footage to fabricate news that Zoroark is evil and causing the guardian protectors to rampage, and orders the city to be sealed off while he searches for the Time Ripple in secret. Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Zorua meet Karl, a local journalist investigating Kodai. Karl leads them into the sealed-off part of the city through a sewer. Kodai has his henchman Goone recapture Zoroark, and has a vision that Ash, Dawn, Brock, Karl, and Rowena will stop him.
Zorua, followed by Ash's Pikachu and Dawn's Piplup, runs off to find Zoroark, but Celebi appears and befriends Zorua, Pikachu and Piplup. Kodai captures and imprisons Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Karl. Rowena, revealed to be an undercover journalist investigating Kodai, releases them. Kodai has a vision that Celebi will show him the Time Ripple, and he targets it. Kodai harms Celebi, seeing more of the future. Ash, Dawn, Brock, Karl, and Rowena flee with Zorua and Celebi, meeting up with Karl's grandfather Joe and his friend Tammy. Joe reveals that the Time Ripple is near a countdown clock in the local stadium; Kodai eavesdrops on the conversation.
Meanwhile, Zoroark escapes the cage that Kodai's henchman captured her in. The real guardian protectors arrive to fight Zoroark, believing it is attacking the city. Karl, Rowena, Joe, and Tammy stop the fighting between Zoroark and the guardian protectors.
Ash carries an injured Celebi to the Time Ripple at the stadium, followed by Kodai. Kodai's Mismagius traps Ash and Celebi with telepathy, and his Shuppet injures Zoroark, preventing them from reaching the Time Ripple. Kodai believes he has absorbed part of the Time Ripple and replenished his power, confessing that he has fooled the townsfolk twice with his media manipulations. However, Zoroark soon reveals Kodai's victory is an illusion created by Zoroark. Kodai tries to reach the Time Ripple but is blocked by the guardian protectors, and Zoroark traps him in the stadium by using its remaining strength to make an illusion of Kodai's ship.
Zoroark collapses from its injuries. Celebi ventures into the Time Ripple to rejuvenate its own power and revive Zoroark, before departing back to the future. Kodai's confessions are played on television news all over the world, and he is promptly arrested with Goone, much to his fury. Zorua and Zoroark depart for their home region, Unova, with Ash promising that he will visit there next.

Pokémon the Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram and White—Victini and Zekrom
The two films follow a similar plot with some major and minor changes, notably the Pokémon that appear and where they appear. In Black—Victini and Reshiram, Damon finds Zekrom under the castle to fulfill his ideals, while Ash finds Reshiram to find the truth. The roles are swapped in White—Victini and Zekrom. Damon has a Gothitelle in Black—Victini and Reshiram and a Reuniclus in White—Victini and Zekrom.
1,000 years ago, Victini, a Pokémon which can boost the power of other Pokémon, was friends with the king of the Kingdom of the Vale, who ruled over the People of the Vale. The people and Pokémon in the kingdom used an energy source called the Dragon Force to live in harmony with nature. The king's sons were accompanied by the black and white dragon Pokémon, Reshiram and Zekrom, but the princes became enemies leading to a war between Reshiram and Zekrom, who mortally wounded each other, transforming into stones and fell into a long slumber. The Dragon Force grew destructive. To contain the energy, the king created a dark magical barrier around the castle using the Pillars of Protection to use Victini's powers to make the Psychic type Pokémon move the castle known as the Sword of the Vale to the mountaintop where Eindoak Town now stands. The king used up his magic power and died and Victini was trapped in the barrier isolated by the Pillars of Protection. Over time, the People of the Vale scattered, leaving Victini inside the barrier. Eventually, the chaos within the Dragon Force subsided. The two princes were filled of deep remorse, and they moved the stoned Reshiram and Zekrom to a cave beneath the castle.
In the present, the vale has become inhospitable. Damon, a descendant of the People of the Vale, hopes to restore the vale using Victini's powers and reunite the scattered People of the Vale, based on his mother Juanita's wish during his childhood. He finds either Zekrom or Reshiram after hearing the dragon Pokémon's voice in the caves beneath the castle. Unaware that doing so would threaten the Dragon Force to destroy the entire world, Zekrom or Reshiram shows Damon how to move the castle and use the Dragon Force's energy.
At Eindoak Town's harvest festival, the Pokémon trainers Ash Ketchum, Iris, and Cilan take part in a Pokémon battle competition. Damon's sister Carlita notices Victini has been giving Ash's Tepig and Scraggy power boosts. Ash offers Victini some of Cilan's macarons and he and his friends befriend Victini. The next day, Ash promises to take Victini to the ocean, but Damon then forces Victini to use its power to help move the castle and redirect the Dragon Force's power to the vale. Ash and Juanita try to stop Damon from harming Victini, but their attempts are thwarted by Zekrom and Damon's Gothitelle or by Reshiram and Damon's Reuniclus. Ash ventures into the caves and finds Reshiram or Zekrom to help Victini. As Reshiram and Zekrom duel, both spot the destructive Dragon Force and join forces to stop it.
Zekrom or Reshiram releases Victini and Damon is shown the Dragon Force, prompting him to use the castle to contain the unstable power with help from Reshiram and Zekrom. The group evacuate the castle, but Damon wants to try and fix the mess he has made and Victini remains trapped by the barrier with Ash and Pikachu not wanting to leave Victini, as the Dragon Force's power grows deadlier and the castle floats up into the sky. Victini appears to sacrifice itself to blast apart the barrier by using its signature move V-Create, the contained Dragon Force energy being fired into space. Damon, Reshiram, and Zekrom guide the castle to the edge of the sea, and seal away the Dragon Force once again.
Later, Ash, Iris, and Cilan visit a nearby beach in Victini's memory, tossing one of Cilan's macarons into the ocean. Victini appears and eats it, now free of the barrier (and somehow having survived the ordeal of using V-Create to destroy the Pillars of Protection and the barrier) and has plans to restore the valley its own way. Damon begs for forgiveness, receiving it from Juanita.

Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice
Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion belong to a group of Pokémon called the Swords of Justice, which travel the world to protect people and Pokémon in need of help. Keldeo is in training to become a member of the Swords of Justice. His final challenge before he can become part of the group is to battle Kyurem, a powerful Dragon-type Pokémon with the ability to wield the power of Reshiram and Zekrom which lives in an abandoned mine. However, the Swords of Justice do not believe that Keldeo is ready.
Keldeo sneaks out to the mine, Full Court, to battle Kyurem, lying to him that he is a Sword of Justice. Kyurem breaks Keldeo's horn, causing Keldeo to become nervous and afraid. The Swords of Justice arrive at the Full Court to try and stop the fight. Angered by this, Kyurem freezes the Swords of Justice in ice. Keldeo runs away in panic. Kyurem chases after Keldeo, announcing that their battle is not over.
The Pokémon trainers Ash Ketchum, Iris, and Cilan find an injured Keldeo on top of their train headed for Roshan City. Kyurem arrives with his minions, several Cryogonal, still wanting to continue the fight. However, Kyurem withdraws when the train enters a tunnel. Keldeo is taken to Roshan City's Pokémon Center to be healed. Outside, Ash, Iris, and Cilan agree to help Keldeo and free the Swords of Justice together. Iris commandeers a zeppelin from the city's museum while Cilan uses an abandoned mine cart powered by his Stunfisk to bait Kyurem and the Cryogonal into following them while Ash and Keldeo sneak away to save the Swords of Justice on foot.
Kyurem returns to the mine to continue the battle. Ash heads to the Full Court with his Pikachu, Pignite, and Boldore to free the Swords of Justice. Infuriated that they are trespassing his home, Kyurem tries to attack them, but Keldeo rescues them, gaining the courage he needs to fight. Kyurem reveals that he already knew that Keldeo had lied about being a Sword of Justice but still accepted his challenge and intends to finish the battle. Keldeo transforms into his Resolute Form. The battle causes the Full Court to start collapsing, breaking the ice the Swords of Justice were imprisoned in. Kyurem encases Keldeo in ice. Keldeo breaks out of the ice after learning the move Secret Sword, in which a glowing sword emerges from his horn. Kyurem and Keldeo fire blasts at each other but Kyurem's blast accidentally gets sent towards Ash and his friends. Keldeo slices the blast with Secret Sword, saving his friends but injuring him. Keldeo yields to Kyurem, and the battle ends.
The Swords of Justice praise Keldeo for finally learning the true power of the sword, which officially makes him the fourth member of the team. The group retreats from the Full Court as it collapses. Kyurem freezes the falling Full Court to prevent being crushed and any more damage from being caused.

Ash offers to help the Genesect get back to its home. A red Genesect attacks Ash and forces the friendly Genesect to attack him as well. Mewtwo, another Pokémon created by people, blocks the attack, saving Ash, Cilan, and Iris's lives. The Genesect, not realizing the humans survived, leave.
That night, five Genesect take over the center of Pokémon Hills, driving out the other Pokémon and building a giant nest near some Panna Lotuses (a flower that existed in their home 300 million years ago) to turn it into their new home. This threatens the substation under Pokémon Hills, along with the city's power supply. Mewtwo, having been told about the Genesect's rampage, appears.

Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel
Mega Evolution Councillor Alva and Prince Raleigh of the Azoth Kingdom order the artificial Pokémon Magearna to be brought to the Kingdom after it is found in the Nebel Plateau, a place populated by Pokémon who have been abused by humans. The Mythical Pokémon Volcanion tries recovering Magearna, but has a band attached to his leg and is sent falling to a forest where Ash Ketchum and his friends, Pikachu, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are camping. Volcanion lands in Ash and friends' vicinity and, when they recover, Ash finds a second band attached to himself. Clemont discovers the bands emit an electromagnetic force that binds Ash to Volcanion like a chain. Volcanion runs off, dragging Ash along with him.
Ash and Volcanion recover Magearna from the Azoth Kingdom. They rendezvous with Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie, who are fascinated by Magearna, but are unable to remove the chain binding Ash and Volcanion. Reluctantly, Volcanion allows the group to accompany him and Magearna to their home, Nebel Plateau. On the way, they are attacked by Team Rocket, who have been hired by Alva to recover Magearna, but the group is able to drive them off with help from Raleigh's sister, Princess Kimia. During their stay at Nebel Plateau, Clemont and Kimia have the resident Pokémon break the electromagnetic bands. Finally free, Volcanion orders the humans to leave, but they refuse.
The next day, Alva and his underlings, Levi and Cherie, attack and recapture Magearna. He removes Magearna's "Soul-Heart", which he plans to use to activate a mechanism in the Azoth Castle that turns it into a flying fortress. Raleigh tries to stop him, but is knocked unconscious. As the castle takes to the skies, Ash and Pikachu storm the fortress with Volcanion, Kimia, and Greninja, but are trapped by Alva, who attempts to break Magearna's spirit by firing at Nebel Plateau. However, the resident Pokémon repel the attack with help from Squishy the Zygarde Core, and Ash destroys Alva's cane giving him control over the Pokémon, causing them to become normal again, and Alakazam uses psychic powers to levitate itself and the other Pokémon, as well as Levi and Cherie, from the fortress. Volcanion frees himself, Ash, Kimia, and their Pokémon. Alva sets the fortress on a collision course with the plateau and tries to escape with a jetpack, but Greninja disables it, causing him to fall. Ash returns the Soul-Heart to Magearna, but her spirit is gone. To prevent the fortress from crashing into the plateau, Volcanion uses his power to destroy the fortress with himself at the center of the blast. Volcanion is assumed to be killed in the blast, bringing grief to the humans and Pokémon, but later, at Nebel Plateau, Magearna regains her spirit when Volcanion appears, having survived, but he falls unconscious, so Magearna revives Volcanion, as her flowers earlier made him sneeze. When he regains consciousness, Volcanion tells Magearna not to put pollen to his nostrils, then gives Pikachu and the other Pokémon the distinction of being honorary members of Nebel Plateau. Team Rocket, watching from nearby, express satisfaction at how things turned out.
In the credits, the Nebel Plateau Pokémon gather the wreckage of the fortress and bury it in a huge hole Volcanion had made earlier. Ash and his friends return to the Azoth Kingdom with Kimia and Raleigh, where Bonnie proposes to Kimia's personal assistant, Flamel, on Clemont's behalf, then he pulls her back with his Aipom arm. Later, Kimia and her shiny Gardevoir discover Alva tangled in the wreckage of his jetpack in a tree. Gardevoir levitates him onto Kimia's aircraft, where he gets the magnetic bands stuck on him, keeping him from fleeing, even though he attempts to. Levi and Cherie are also imprisoned. Taking Ash's advice, Raleigh goes out on a Pokémon journey of his own with his Slurpuff in order to see the world and learn more than just past history. Kimia watches him leave from what remains of the castle. Magearna continues to live in peace at Nebel Plateau with the other Pokémon, while Volcanion watches over them from his cave.

Pokemon: I Choose You
The ten-year-old aspiring Pokémon Master Ash Ketchum wakes up late one morning after having broken his alarm clock in his sleep. He eventually makes it to Professor Oak's lab, but he is told by Oak the three starters Pokémon (Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander) have already been taken by Pokémon Trainers who were on time. However, Oak reveals he has one more Pokémon, which is a Pikachu. Despite Pikachu's volatile and feisty personality, as well as his refusal to get inside a Poké Ball, Ash happily takes Pikachu on his journey.
Outside of Pallet Town, Ash encounters a wild Pidgey. When Pikachu refuses to fight it, Ash tosses a rock at it, but it hits a Spearow that mistakes Pikachu as the culprit. Soon, more Spearow shows up forcing Ash and Pikachu to run. Injured and tired, Ash tells Pikachu to get inside his Ball, but he once again refuses. Instead, Pikachu defends Ash from the Spearow by summoning a large Thunderbolt that scares them away. As the storm ceases, Ho-Oh flies above and drops a feather called a Rainbow Wing. Ash and Pikachu decide to go and find the Legendary Pokémon.
After hearing the Legendary Pokémon Entei is nearby, Ash and several other Trainers rush into the woods to look for it. Ash finds the Entei but ends up fighting over it with a young girl Trainer named Verity and an aspiring young boy Pokémon Professor named Sorrel. When Entei escapes, Ash and Verity argue and Sorrel leaves, urging them to find shelter. As they look for shelter, Ash and Verity find a Charmander, which they quickly learn belongs to an arrogant Trainer named Cross who left it out in the rain.
Cross refuses to take Charmander back, calling it weak, so Ash and Verity come across a cave where Sorrel happens to be and help Charmander back to health. Sorrel reveals that Ho-Oh only gives the Rainbow Wing to the "Rainbow Hero" who is destined to fight it, as a shadow Pokémon named Marshadow watches. The next morning, Ash convinces Charmander to join them. The group follows the Rainbow Wing, which guides them toward the Raizen Mountain Range, to meet Ho-Oh. Charmander evolves into Charmeleon. Verity sees a Suicune at a nearby lake. Cross returns and challenges Ash's Charmeleon with his Incineroar. Charmeleon is savagely defeated, causing Ash much grief.
Upset over his loss to Cross, Ash openly admits that he could have won with Pikachu and wishes he had gotten Bulbasaur or Squirtle with him. Alone in the woods, Marshadow puts Ash in a sleep-like state as the Rainbow Wing turns dark. Ash has a dream where no Pokémon exist and he attends regular school with Verity and Sorrel. Realizing something is missing, he remembers Pikachu and wakes up to his friends, and the Wing regains its color. Ash then reunites with his friends and apologizes for his actions. Sorrel then explains how he lost his Luxray after a snowstorm which results from Sorrel afraid to befriend Pokemon ever since that experience. During the conversation, Pikachu notices Marshadow and uses his Thunderbolt but accidentally wakes up a bunch of wild Primeapes. Luckily, Ash used his Metapod to get the Primeapes webbed and as a result, Metapod evolves into Butterfree and drives the Primeapes to sleep. The next morning, they see a Raikou after Ash releases his Butterfree to mate and migrate with a Pink Butterfree. The group realizes they are getting close when the Wing begins to glow in the direction of Mount Tensei.
On the summit, the group makes it to a crystal-like structure called Rainbow Rock but is interrupted by Cross who wants to fight Ho-Oh himself, having saw Ho-Oh too, but did not receive the Wing. Cross' Incineroar fights Ash's Charmeleon which quickly evolves into Charizard and defeats Incineroar in a Flamethrower clash. Cross, refusing to accept his loss, grabs the Wing and places it on the crystal, but due to his evil heart, it turns dark, causing Marshadow, an agent of Ho-Oh's, to turn the local Pokémon evil and attack Ash and his friends. The Trainers fight back but are overwhelmed by the severity of the situation. Ash finally withdraws a severely weakened Pikachu into his Poké Ball as the brainwashed Pokémon attack, and he fades away as the Wing disintegrates. Pikachu comes out of his Poké Ball, realizing his best friend is dead and vanished. Heartbroken and devastated, he unleashes a massive Thunderbolt which hits Marshadow and its army, releasing them from Rainbow Wing's corruption.
Ash finds himself in an alternative dimension where Pokémon do not exist, but manages to find his way to back to life. Ash takes the newly formed Rainbow Wing and places it on the crystal structure. Ho-Oh arrives, healing everyone and Ash challenges it with Pikachu to battle (although the outcome is never shown). Cross leaves on good terms and eventually Verity and Sorrel leave Ash to achieve their own dreams.
In the end credits, all of Ash's former traveling companions from Kanto to Kalos are shown. Verity returns to her hometown to see his mother; Sorrel and his Lucario spot an Articuno which he wanted to study; Cross travels peacefully with his Pokémon; and Ash and Pikachu travel on their own while being tailed by Team Rocket. The film ends as Ho-Oh drops a Rainbow Wing as it flies across the sky.

Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us
Fula City was founded on barren land that was developed by humans after the Legendary Pokémon Lugia granted them the power of wind. The wind festival is held every year.
Fifty years ago, the nearby mountain forest was engulfed in flames due to humans clearing the mountain forest and looking for the mysterious Pokémon Zeraora. Harriet, the woman who built the wind power plant, burned her hand while failing to save her Snubbull from the burning windmill; she was only able to get the key to start the turbine that Snubbull was holding. This resulted in her becoming distant from Pokémon. Lugia was called to clear the fire. Hoping to protect Zeraora from the humans, the Mayor of Fula City created a lie that Zeraora had died and cursed the mountain. This secret was kept by the mayor's successor, Oliver. In the present, Oliver's daughter Margo takes care of Zeraora after it injures itself saving her and two other Pokémon from a rockslide in the foothills.
Former track runner Risa agrees to attend the festival to capture a wild Eevee for her younger brother Rick. Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu attend the festival and take part in the Pokémon catching contest. Con artist Callahan attends the festival with his sister Mia and her daughter Kelly, who suffers from low immunity, so Callahan invents tall tales about him being the best trainer when he does not even have a Pokémon. An elderly Harriet gets the essence of the Pokémon move Sweet Scent on her, resulting in Pokémon following her wherever she goes.
Getting help from timid scientist Toren, Callahan decides to give Toren's speech at his lab in return for Toren helping him win the Pokémon catching contest. A Sudowoodo Callahan took pity on begins following him. Callahan comes in first boasting about a rare Pokémon in the woods intriguing everyone, but worrying Margo. Ash places second, and helps Risa capture an Eevee.
Upset over the amount of Pokémon that have been following her, Harriet goes to Toren to ask for an antidote, but says it will take time resulting in her staying with him. Callahan is unable to make it to the speech. Toren tries to give the presentation on his own, but accidentally plays footage of him helping Callahan at the contest in time for everyone to see it. Upset over her uncle's lies, Kelly passes out from exhaustion. Team Rocket steal a bottle of the ability Effect Spore from the lab, only to accidentally lose it in the woods.
Margo steals the eternal flame, a light held on the highest tower in the city to contact Lugia, to stop the festival and keep Zeraora safe and hidden. Margo tries to protect Zeraora from two poachers, but they are rescued by Ash and his friends just in time. Suddenly, the Effect Spore bottle cracks engulfing much of the forest and the city and the group decide to work together to stop it.
Callahan discovers that Mia and Kelly are trapped in a gondola while the city is being engulfed and Sudowoodo allows itself to be captured by him so that they can save the city. Toren gets to the lab and works on an antidote for the Effect Spore threatening the city. A fire suddenly breaks out in the forest, killing the electricity, but Toren uses Team Rocket's Lum Berries to create the antidote.
Zeraora awakens from his nightmare and begins rescuing Pokémon. While Ash and Margo decide to go follow it, Risa is tasked with taking the eternal flame back to the tower. Ash and Pikachu end up fighting Zeraora, who still distrusts humans, but Ash and Margo manage to get through to it and they try help put out the flames. Toren arrives at the power plant to give the antidote to Callahan who tosses it into the turbines while Harriet and the Pokémon turn the blades. Risa gets the eternal flame to the top, and Lugia arrives to put out the fire. Mayor Oliver revokes the lie about Zeraora's disappearance and proclaims that the citizens will peacefully live alongside it.
In the post-credits, the Pokémon Channel announcer is revealed to be Rick as Risa demands to know how he knew where she was. Ash and Pikachu head to their next location.

In the Forest of Okoya, the Mythical Pokémon Zarude finds an infant boy in a cradle washed up on a riverbank. Unable to leave the child on his own, Zarude adopts him as a son, naming him "Koko". Zarude leaves his tribe, which inhabits a Great Tree deep in the jungle where humans are forbidden to venture, to raise Koko who grows up as a feral child.
Ten years later, Ash Ketchum and Pikachu visit the Forest of Okoya from nearby Milyfa Town. While attempting to capture a wild Cramorant, Ash and Pikachu encounter a research team from the Biotope Company, a scientific organization studying the jungle. Team Rocket, covertly following them, look up information on the Biotope Company and its leader Dr. Zed, and decide to infiltrate the group.
Later, Ash sees Koko go over a waterfall, after he got knocked out from a pipe while swinging on a vine, and retrieves him from the water, bringing him to Milyfa Town's Pokémon Center for treatment.

Discovering that Koko believes himself to be a Pokémon, Ash and Pikachu spend time with him in the town, helping him to learn about humans for the first time.
Ash, Pikachu and Koko later encounter Zarude, who is forced to admit the truth about Koko's heritage. Zarude brings them to an abandoned laboratory he found shortly after adopting Koko, where he shows them a photograph he found of an infant Koko with his human parents. Zarude then leaves, returning to the Great Tree alone.
Discovering a wallet from Biotope Company, Ash brings Koko to their headquarters, where they meet with Dr. Zed. He reveals that Koko's parents, Chrom and Phossa Molybdenum, were scientists who led the organization in researching the healing springs, and that Koko's real name is Al Molybdenum. However, Chrom and Phossa were killed in a car accident ten years ago, which was presumed to have killed Al as well. Zed scans Koko's pendant and discovers partially corrupted data on it that reveals an image of the Great Tree. Distraught over the news of his parents' fate, Koko flees to the Great Tree as well.
As soon as he reaches the Great Tree, Koko discovers a tracking chip planted on him by Zed. Zed arrives with his research team, which Team Rocket have infiltrated, along with a giant tank. Koko and Ash try to stop Zed, but he restrains them and throws them into the back of one of his trucks. He then fires missiles at the Great Tree, creating holes from which the spring water gushes forth. Ash, Pikachu and Koko escape with unwitting help from Team Rocket as they wrestle with the Cramorant from earlier and confront Zed, who suffers a psychotic breakdown and admits that, when Chrom and Phossa discovered the Great Tree's location but refused to continue researching it out of respect for the Zarude tribe, he killed them and stole their supply of the spring water. Before they perished, Chrom and Phossa sent the infant Al down the river with a drive containing the rest of their research, leading to Zarude finding him.
Zed seizes control of the tank from his henchmen, and Ash, Pikachu, and Koko try to fight him to no avail. Zarude arrives with his tribe, having convinced them to help save the jungle. He also brings a group of wild Pokémon, who previously disliked his tribe due to their selfish behavior, to assist. Zarude is injured in the battle and nearly succumbs, but Koko manages to harness the power of the jungle as if he were a Pokémon, healing him. With their combined forces, they manage to break the tank's power source, disabling it. Zed attempts to escape, but is captured by Koko and arrested by the police with the evidence leaked by Team Rocket, and the humans and Pokémon work together to restore the damage done to the jungle.
In the end, Koko decides to leave to explore the human world and become the bridge between humans and Pokémon, taking the photo of his parents along with him. As he and Ash leave the Forest of Okoya, they see Zarude turn the healing springs into a geyser to send Koko off. Cheered up by this, Koko goes forth into his future, embracing his dual identity as a Zarude and a human. At the Great Tree, Zarude sees a Shiny Celebi, which observes him now living in harmony with the other Pokémon.
