The Pokémon world!

An astounding place that almost defies description,

with its abundance and grandeur...!

And, of course, Pokémon!

Flying high above the clouds,

swimming deep under the sea,

and roaming the rolling

expanse of its beautiful lands,

they can be found everywhere you care to look!

Here, we find a young man named Ash Ketchum, who hails

from Pallet Town, working with his partner Pikachu to catch

other Pokémon and refine his Pokémon battling skills!

As he travels with his friends, there have been twists

and turns on the road during Ash's journey as a

Pokémon Trainer...

Indeed, his road has branched off

in many directions...

Lost at times, occasionally retracing his

steps, or forcing him to take the long way...but through it

all, continuing his journey just the same...!

...in order to realize his ideals,

as of yet unseen!

You've hurt your leg...!

Here we go...!

There now...

Blitzle!

You're back...! Damon, thank you so much!

I'm grateful to you for aiding my daughter's Blitzle.

But still... no matter how many times you return here

The answer's the same!

But that is where the People of the Vale were meant to

live! Let us return there - to our own land!

But that land is forever lost...

There is a way to bring it back to life!

What you say is nothing more than legend!

The legend's true! And I will prove it to be so!

They're coming this way!

It's Damon!

Who's that Pokémon?!

Could it be...?

The one they call Legendary...

Reshiram!!

They're not stopping!!

Our village is in danger!!

Everyone must evacuate!

The time has come...!

For the People of the Vale to reclaim it!

Yes. For that is where the truth lies...!

Wowww...! Braviary...!

Cilan, do you see it yet?

Not yet, Iris,

but I think we should see it fairly soon...

That's IT!!

It must be!

As Ash continues through the Unova region on his

quest to become a Pokémon Master, our heroes have arrived

at the mountain town of Eindoak, just in time for the

Harvest Festival!

Don't worry! I'll help you out there...!

Here I come...! Hang on!

Ash, I'm coming too!

Iris, wait, don't do it! The ground won't hold...

Okay...

Ash...!

Ash, NO!

He just jumped!

Did you see what I saw...?

We're okay, guys! We all landed in one piece!

And how are you planning on getting out of there?!

Hey, there's a breeze coming through!

We'll follow it out!

Follow me!

Heyyy! Anybody hear me?!

Anyone?! Hello?!

What was that?!

Again...!

Hey!

Iris! Cilan! Come on! Get up here!

You've gotta check out this view! Quick!

What're you standing there for?!

And to think we were worried...

What a kid...!

Deerling!

Try hanging out in safer places, okay?!

This castle is called the Sword of the Vale.

Sword of the Vale?

Look! Over there...

They say it flew through the air from that valley and

landed right here on this spot!

Flew through the air?!

But, how can a castle fly?!

It's a legend! It's impossible to know if it's

really the truth. But look! You can see with your very own eyes

that the berries in the surrounding orchards are

beautiful and delicious!

Awesome! They look yummy!!

Gimme...!

Somebody hungry...?

In case you haven't noticed, I'm always hungry

and that's THAT!

Why do I even ask...?

Ash...I've got just the thing!

My homemade macarons!

Wow! Thanks, Cilan!!

Yeah, way to go!

Think I'll eat 'em right now!

Good idea!!

The best!!

These macarons RULE! Best I ever ate...! Uh oh...!

Ash, what's wrong?

It's gone...the macaron disappeared!

Knowing you, you probably ate it...

Hey, Ash, don't cry!

Ha, fooled you! Check it out. Still got one!

What a kid...!

The festival's beginning!

Let's see...

Quick! If we don't hurry

we won't be able to register for the competition!

I can take you...!

Here! If you're in a rush, this way is much faster

That's so nice! Thank you!

Hi, I'm Ash! I'm working to become a Pokémon Master!

And this is my partner, Pikachu.

My name's Iris! This's Axew.

I'm training to be a Dragon Master!

I'm Cilan, a Pokémon Connoisseur...

My name is Damon.

I've been working on restoring this castle. Please, follow me.

Wow, that tastes so good!

It's a Golurk!

It's huge!

Wonder what it's pulling...!

Let's find out!

Look! They're so cute!!

They're Victini dolls... the Victory Pokémon!

Victini?

Right, Victini!

They say it's lived in this town since long ago!

WOW! I wanna meet it!

Very few have ever seen Victini...

Oh. Got ya...

Can you tell us more about it?

It's said to give people and Pokémon power...

Power?

That's right! Long ago,

it was said to have protected the Sword of the Vale.

Really? Awesome!!

I'll take one of these, please!

Here you go!

And one day, may you receive Victini's power as well!

Now, I know I'm gonna win the battle competition!

I'm well aware that our plan was to catch Pikachu and

all of the other Pokémon in the festival, but now...

That story is a real game changer!

Victini, the Victory Pokémon...

A Pokémon that can give you power!

Simple. All we do...is CATCH IT!

Ladies and gentlemen! Moms and dads, girls and boys,

and of course, Pokémon. I welcome you all to the

Eindoak Harvest Festival!

My name is Mannes, mayor of Eindoak Town!

Folks, I'm happy to report our orchards have given

us a bountiful harvest this year!

So, festival fans...are we having FUN?!

YEAH!!

All right! Then it's time to kick off what you've all

been patiently waiting for... our annual battle competition!

Here are our simple competition rules! Trainers who

have gathered here and wish to participate will have a

one-on-one Pokémon battle with no substitutions! Whoever holds

the competition necklace until the end WINS!

Carlita! Good luck, dear!

Thanks, Mom! Piece of cake!

All right, let the battle BEGIN!

Just watch me win!

Watch ME win!

WE'RE gonna win, right buddy?

Scraggy, let's go!

Scraggy? I want you to watch all the other

Pokémon when they battle!

Then let's go!

It's always hard,

When the journey begins.

Hard to find your way;

Hard to make amends.

But there's nothing you can't do,

Cause you've got the power inside of you.

It's never easy,

To make a choice:

To keep things inside,

Or raise your voice.

But for everyone there comes a time

When the light inside begins to shine.

It's not always right or wrong,

As long as your spirit's strong.

It's not always win or lose,

It's the road you choose;

The answer's within.

It's not always black and white,

But your heart always knows what's right.

Let the journey begin-

So many choices;

How do we know?

So many places;

Where do we go?

What should I say?

What should I do?

Still, we're together: me and you!

It's not always right or wrong,

As long as your spirit's strong.

It's not always win or lose,

It's the road you choose;

The answer's within.

It's not always black and white,

but your heart always knows what's right.

Let the journey begin:

Pokémon!

There's nothing you can do,

'Cause you've got the power inside of you.

It's not always right or wrong,

As long as your spirit's strong.

It's not always win or lose,

It's the road you choose;

The answer's within.

It's not always black and white,

but your heart always knows what's right.

Let the journey begin:

Pokémon!

Good luck to both of you!

Tepig, I choose you!

So Tepig, a Fire type,

is up against Samurott, a Water type...

I'm afraid that this battle is going to leave a

bitter aftertaste in Ash's mouth...

Tepig! Don't worry! We'll show 'em how strong we are!

'Kay,! Use Ember!

Not very effective...

All right, use Tackle!

Samurott, Razor Shell, let's go!

Oh my word!

Tepig, you okay?

Wow, you're fired up to win.

'Kay, Tepig, Ember, once more!

Ember AGAIN!?

What for?!

Samurott's unable to battle! Tepig wins!

All right!

You did it!

Tepig, way to go!

An unexpected flavor! Simply delicious!

That last Ember was incredible!

Hey, Mother?

That Tepig powered up quite suddenly, right?

Yes, it did...

So...do you think that

could have been the work of Victini?

Come on now...!

Say, why not battle me?

I never turn down a chance to battle! Let's do it!

So Scraggy's your choice?

You BET! 'Kay, Scraggy, let's go!

Wait, Scraggy?!

This battle might not go down as easily as the

battle with Tepig...

Maybe...

But isn't Hydreigon just about the coolest EVER?!

All right, Scraggy, now! Use Headbu-...

Okay, Scraggy, use Headbutt once more!

Hydreigon is unable to battle!

Scraggy wins!

We did it! We did it! All riiiiiight...!

Have a good rest. Here!

Thank you.

That was the work of Victini, right?

Victini...?

What are you talking about?

I saw it! The way your Scraggy was getting

power from Victini...

Do you mean this?

It didn't do anything. Really!

I'm talking about the real Victini.

The real one's here?!

So where is it?!

C'mon, I wanna see Victini!

But Victini's invisible now... It can do that!

Invisible...?

Victini must've been the one who ate my macaron!

I wonder what we heard back in the cave...

That sound could've been Victini's voice...!

Hey Victini! Did you give me power earlier?!

Hey, Victini, that you?! If it is, come out and say hi!

I've still got some macarons!

Way to go, Cilan! Bet this'll work...Victini,

I've got more macarons!

There it is!

Wow. It really does exist...!

To think Victini appeared for a macaron...

So, was it good?

Hi! My name's Ash! This's my buddy Pikachu!

And my name's Iris!

Hi! I'm Cilan...

Hi! They call me Carlita!

Victini...Is it true Tepig and Scraggy suddenly got

stronger because you gave them some of your power?

Wow, you're incredible! Thanks so much!

Victini! What's wrong?!

Poor thing! You've made Victini cry...!

You were playing just a little too rough...

Oh man...I'm sorry, Victini! Really...!

It's so amazing Victini showed up! A true wonder!

It's like an exotic and rare ingredient!

It makes me feel...really, really happy!

She's not the only one who's really happy...

It's a once-in-a-lifetime SHOT!

A powerful Victory Pokémon...

now, if Victini were ours...

Imagine all that power in US!

Victini! Let's check it out! C'mon!

Victini, what's wrong?!

Victini, what happened?

Victini, wait!

Aw, Victini...

You really met Victini?

Yes, Mom, we really did!

Juanita! Where would someone go in this town to find

a place of comfort and peace?

After a bad experience...Where do you want

to go to feel better?

A place...that feels like home!

Perhaps Victini didn't like the barrier...

Barrier?

Our village has an invisible barrier around it...

...and it is said that Victini can't go beyond the

Pillars of Protection.

Go beyond the Pillars of Protection...?

They form the barrier...!

That must've been what that was back there!

Yeah...

Hey, everyone!

So we meet again...!

It's Damon!

My brother!

Your brother?!

What do you know...

It's been too long, Mother...

For your information, six months, to be exact!

What brings you back here?

I'm just helping out with the restoration of the castle.

Upon my special request!

Look, Mannes...Your position as mayor does not allow

you to boss my son around!

Whatever you say, my dear Juanita...

Damon! Victini actually exists!

Yes, I know...!

Ah, the scent of growing grass...Lots of fresh air!

This area's as sweet as ripe fruit!

Yes!

This orchard belongs to my family!

Slow down, Axew! You could slip and hurt yourself!

Victini! We didn't know you couldn't pass the barrier!

Please come on out...!

You don't have to hide from us!

We've got delicious macarons!

Yeah, come out and have some!

They're telling us to follow them...!

Victini!

Victini! You're here, right?!

I'm so sorry I frightened you before...!

I'm really sorry...

Victini, you don't have to hide! Come on out!

It's Victini!

You're back!!

I TOLD you!

Ash...!

It's coooooold...!

Gotcha!

Victini's having fun!

My plan...is to borrow some of Victini's power.

You see, both Juanita and I are descendants of the

tribe called the People of the Vale.

People of the Vale...?

It's the tribe mentioned in the castle's legend!

Correct!

We'll tell you a story...of Victini

and the People of the Vale.

Here we go...

Have a look! Over a thousand years ago, the People

of the Vale proudly lived under the rule of a mighty king!

It's Victini...!

Was it the king's Pokémon?

Yes, that's what the legend says...

The king ruled over what was called the

Kingdom of the Vale...

Kingdom of the Vale...?

The Kingdom drew its energy from the Dragon Force!

What's Dragon Force?

It's the power that flows invisibly throughout our planet.

By using that power wisely, people and Pokémon alike

were able to create an environment in perfect harmony

- at one with nature...

The King had two sons: twin princes!

And both princes were filled with wisdom and courage.

Each prince possessed a unique quality

for which they were nicknamed.

The Hero of Ideals!

...and the Hero of Truth!

They were greatly loved...

Are those...

Pokémon...?

Both princes were accompanied by

great dragon Pokémon!

Zekrom and Reshiram.

Both of them granted great wisdom and strength only

to those judged worthy. BUT...

...the country lost its way, and the two princes

became enemies...

...which eventually led to a great and

destructive war...

The two fought ferociously,

finally wounding each other...

...which used up all of their life energy.

These great dragon Pokémon were transformed into

stone...and fell into a long, deep slumber.

By the time the two princes realized the mistake

they had made, it was too late.

The Dragon Force energy became chaotic!

Witnessing the destruction of his

people's land, the king decided to use the power of Victini.

Victini's...

...power! Wow...

Victini, please... grant me the use of your power!

In order to harness Victini's power,

the king created a barrier around the castle using the

Pillars of Protection...

So, with all the townspeople gathered on

top of the castle...

...it lifted up into the sky!

...and the castle was carried to this mountaintop!

However...the king's power was spent, and the Pillars

of Protection and the barrier remained.

Eventually the chaos within the

Dragon Force subsided.

The two princes were filled with deep remorse,

and they moved the stone dragon Pokémon

to a safe and secret location...

But... the People of the Vale lost their bond with the

land and scattered everywhere!

Even leaving behind Victini, who had

vanished from sight.

Victini's been here... for more than a thousand years?!

A thousand years...?

And trapped inside the barrier for all that time...!

Victini...

Look over there!

That's where the Kingdom once was...!

My goal...is to bring the Kingdom of the

Vale back to life.

Back to life?

Victini!

You said it would be nice...if the Kingdom of the

Vale could be restored...

I did...

The energy of this land no longer flows here...

...so neither people nor Pokémon can live...

Wouldn't it be great if they could?

That's my dream, Damon.

And now...I can finally fulfill that dream of yours!

It looks like Victini wasn't so alone after all!

Yeah!

Are those for us?

Victini, thanks!

Thanks, Victini!

Merci!

Bon appetit!

It's yummy!

Yeah, it's delicious!

Three years ago...

Damon returned and paid me a visit at my home.

I want to contact the People of the Vale who have

scattered everywhere and have them return

so we can rebuild our Kingdom!

But that's impossible!

I have to try. Those who say "impossible"...

accomplish nothing!

Since that time...

I have journeyed far and wide in search of the

People of the Vale...

It's time for you to leave.

Take it! This is for you...

Why, thank you...I'll return!

At first, no one would even listen to me...

Suddenly, I heard a voice...

There is no shortcut to the truth...

What was that?!

The truth waits here...

Again, the voice... I heard it coming from the

Sword of the Vale!

From the castle...?

So we went to the cave located beneath the castle...

We can't go farther...for some reason...

...Damon...!

Mannes!

Damon?! How did you get down there?!

I'm just here! I don't know...!

The path chooses the one it will allow to pass...

I'll go alone!

The path was filled with obstacles...

But somehow...I made it through!

The great Light Stone!

So then you're the one who led me down here...

The truth within you...It has been judged worthy!

I met... the great Reshiram!

You met Reshiram?!

Incredible!

Yes, come in!

I have found the answer! Reshiram has shown me how the

People of the Vale... can use the Sword of the Vale... to gain

complete control of the Dragon Force's energy!

I'm sorry, Victini...

Please forgive me for trapping you here...

I'm so sorry...

Poor Victini...

So you are lonely, aren't you...?

Victini... Do you wanna go there?

Okay!

Victini, I promise I'll take you to the ocean!

From this day forward, the People of the Vale

will be reunited with their land! Sigilyph!

The Pillars of Protection!

But... What's happening?!

Victini!

It has begun!

Up there!

It's Victini!

C'mon, let's go after it!

Victini!

Victini!

I ask that you grant me your power...!

Damon!

Victini's power's increasing the Psychic-type

Pokémon's strength in the castle!

Take a look!

Ash!

Carlita, where's Victini...?

What was that?

The castle!

James, what's going on?!

I think the castle's moving!

It's FLYING!

I'm using the castle

to change the flow of the Dragon Force!

It's finally happened!

We're on our way!

The Kingdom of the Vale will be renewed

when the castle is returned!

Ash, Victini is lending me its power!

You're hurting Victini! You've got to let it go!

I won't! Not while I still need its power!

ASH, PIKACHU:

Victini!!

Stop, or Victini will die!

Damon, please stop it now!

But, Mother...!

Now! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu, destroy the pillars! Electro Ball!

Reshiram!

It IS?!

Golurk! Stop Reshiram!

Golurk...!

Reuniclus! Use Psychic!

Stop... Damon!

Pikachu, quick! Thunderbolt!

Ash, NO!

The Sword of the Vale must not be moved...

If the Sword of the Vale is moved once more,

the Dragon Force will be disturbed...

...and that could destroy our entire world.

Which means, the castle should never be moved again!

ASH!

You're awake!

Thank goodness!

Where am I?

In the castle's storeroom...

Ash, please forgive me...!

Forgive my brother...!

He shouldn't have moved the castle!

If the castle's moved, the Dragon Force will be disturbed,

and it'll destroy the world!

What did you say?!

Victini just told me so!

The castle was moved to the top of the mountain to keep the

disturbance in the Dragon Force from getting out of control!

It can't be...

According to legend, the Dragon Force became

disturbed after Reshiram turned to stonewhich means

Reshiram doesn't know!

So, what do we do?!

Reshiram's too strong!

Zekrom!

Zekrom...?

The other great dragon Pokémon...

Zekrom has the power to stop Reshiram!

Okay, but where is Zekrom?!

Reshiram was beneath the castle...

That's where Damon found it! Then that means...

Zekrom must be nearby as well...!

Beneath the castle...

Ash!

What is this?

Just how far does this path go?

It feels like we keep going around in circles...!

Hold on! Where's Ash?

Hey, you guys! Come down here!

But Ash...

How did you get down there?

Beats me...!

We're gonna go on ahead!

GO for it!!

Find Zekrom!

You got it!

Victini's in a lot of pain!

Is it within you?

The will to pursue your ideals?

We've gotta keep moving!

Jump!

Stay with me, Pikachu!

I'm okay...

Where are we...?

What is your wish? Your ideal?

Ideal? I really wanna help Victini!

I've GOTTA help!!

Victini lived here all alone for a thousand years...

Lonely...Must've been so lonely...!

I promised...I'd take Victini to the ocean!

ASH, PIKACHU:

It is your will that shall bring your ideal to life!

Juanita, look through the clouds!

Oh no...!

It's Mannes!

Things look really BAD down there!

The Dragon Force is out of control!!

How did you know?!

Because Ash told us it would happen...!

Golurk! You must go and stop the castle!

Reshiram! Make sure Golurk doesn't get in my way!

...Golurk, NO!!

Everyone, get in!

Golurk, keep pushing, HARD!

C'mon, you can do it!

Easy for you to say...!

At least you have CLAWS!!

Okay, I give up, what was that?!

Golurk, get out of there!!

Too late...!

What's that...?

It's...ASH!

And he's riding on Zekrom!!

Zekrom...?

Zekrom! Get us down to the castle as fast as you can!

Victini!

Go, Reuniclus!

Pikachu, Thunderbolt, NOW!

You did well, Golurk!

Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

Pikachu, hang in there!

Sometimes, in the search for the truth...

sacrifices are required!

You're wrong! 'Cause I don't need ind of truth!

Thanks, Pikachu!

I'm coming...Victini!

Reshiram, stop those two!

Reshiram, what's wrong?

Victini...!

But why, Reshiram?! But why?

I can hear the land's anger!

Anger...?

Damon...! The Vale is in deep trouble!

The Dragon Force is out of control!

It can't be!

Oh no...!

Fulfilling my mother's dream...

How could that be wrong?!

Damon, isn't there any way to calm the Dragon Force?

Please, Damon...

I don't know I just don't know!

You must soothe the anger of the land!

Use the Sword!

That's it...!

The Sword of the Vale will once again

restrain the Dragon Force!

Reshiram! Zekrom! Lend me your power!

RESHIRAM, ZEKROM:

The Dragon Force reversed on itself...!

Look! Mannes! The castle is starting to crumble!

You must get everybody out!

Right, Damon...!

Everyone, this way!

Victini...!

Ash, quick!!

Damon...!

You go on ahead!

Damon, wait...!

Ash, you've got to get away from here!

But, Damon...

Ash, go. I've got to do this alone.

Mannes! Behind you!

Ash, hurry up!

It's the barrier!

Oh no! Ash!

Victini can't get past!

And the barrier's closing in!

Oh no, Damon!

Pikachu! Victini! Stay close to me...!

It's so cold... Pretty soon...

we're gonna run out of air...!

I've gotta think...What can I do...?

Ash, listen...You'll make it!

Damon, it's you!

Now, destroy the Pillars of Protection!

We've got to release all of the energy!

Ash, you can't give up...!

...because you've been chosen by the

great dragon Pokémon!

Me give up? NO WAY!

We're coming!

I can't move...My body won't let me...

Victini...I'm really sorry...

Victini...I know I promised you...

I'd take you to the ocean....

I'm sorry...

Victini...What're you...

Victini!

No! Victiniiii!!!

Victini...!

Pikachu!

Ash! Pikachu!

Are you all right?

The leading edge of the Dragon Force...!

I can see it up ahead!

Is that where the castle goes?

Yes, exactly! That's the only way to calm down

the chaotic Dragon Force!

Damon! You've got one shot at this!

We're alive...!

And on land...!

Land is good...

Which means...

Together...

We're at the ocean...Victini...

You gave us...every bit of power you had!

Even so...I didn't give you anything!

Oh, Ash...

Victini...I'm sorry...!

Victini! You LOVE macarons! We've got some left!

This has a strangely familiar flavor...

Sure does!

Here's the rest...!

Guess I'll just have to eat all of these...

and here I goooo...!

Aw, Victini...! Sorry! Are you okay?

Of course...

I get it! You're gonna head on back to the Vale,

aren't you, Victini?

Go make everyone happy, 'kay?

I've still got some macarons...

Damon, what...?

Everyone...please forgive me...

Damon...

The future's what's important!

The truth of the People of the Vale...

That's where it lies!
