Pocket Monsters, in short, Pokémon...

the wonderfully mysterious creatures on this planet.

In the sky...

In the oceans...

Upon land...

You can find them wherever you go in the world.

This boy is Satoshi from Masara Town.

With his partner Pikachu, he battles and gets Pokémon.

And his journey of learning as a Pokémon Trainer continues.

A path which branches endlessly,

sometimes getting lost, sometimes backtracking,

sometimes taking detours...

but always, the journey continues.

In order to close in upon an unseen ideal...

Did you hurt your leg?

Alright.

Here you go.

Shimama!

What a relief!

Thank you, Dread-san!

Good.

For rescuing my daughter's Shimama I am grateful.

But no matter how many times you come here my answer will not change.

We won't move!

The People of the Earth have a place they should rightfully be!

Let's head back to the land that is ours!

That land is lost to us.

The land can be restored!

That's no more than a legend!

It's the truth! I'll prove it to you!

They're coming here!

Dread-san?!

That Pokémon...

It can't be...

The Pokémon of legend...

Reshiram!

They're not stopping!

The village is in danger!

Everyone! Let's evacuate!

The time has come...

...for the People of the Earth to reclaim their bond with the earth!

There is where the truth lies.

ZEKROM

A Wargle!

Dent, much further?

I think we should be able to see it pretty soon...

There!

Right.

Aiming to be a Pokémon Master, Satoshi travels through the Isshu region.

Together with his friends Dent and Iris,

he has arrived at the mountain town, Eint Oak.

Don't worry!

I'll come and save you right now!

Just a bit more...

Hold on...

I'm coming too!

You can't, Iris!

The foothold can't cope!

But...

Satoshi!

Satoshi!

He jumped?!

Unbelievable...

Iris! Dent!

We're okay!

How're you gonna get back from there?!

I can feel wind! This must lead somewhere!

This way?

Hey! Anyone!

Is anyone there?!

What was that just now?

Again...

Hey!

Iris! Dent!

Hurry and get up here!

There's a great view up here!

And we worried about him...

Such a kid...

Shikijika!

Don't go to such dangerous places!

This castle is called the Sword of the Earth.

The Sword of the Earth...

Look, over there.

It's said this castle flew from that valley and landed here.

It flew?!

This giant castle?!

It's a story.

Nowadays, we don't know if it's true or not.

But what I want to know with my own eyes and tongue...

is the size and taste of the fruits and nuts in this town's orchard!

They really look tasty!

I wanna eat them!

Are ya hungry?

I don't want to boast, but I'm always hungry!

I shouldn't have asked...

Well then, here's something good.

Macarons I made myself!

Ah! Thank you!

That's Dent for ya!

I'm gonna eat it now!

Me too!

It's good!

These are really good!

Macarons are the best.

H...huh?!

What is it?

It vanished... the macaron vanished!

Don't you mean you ate it?

Don't cry, Satoshi.

I'm not crying.

I've still got one more to eat.

Really... such a kid.

Ah, the festival's starting!

If we don't hurry, we won't make it in time to register for the battle tournament!

Shall I guide you?

If you're in a hurry, the quickest way out is this way.

Thank you!

I'm Satoshi!

I'm aiming to be a Pokémon Master.

This is my partner Pikachu.

I'm Iris!

Together with this Kibago I'm studying to become a Dragon Master!

I am Dent, a Pokémon Sommelier.

I'm Dread.

I'm assisting in the restoration of this castle.

Well then, come with me.

Over here, over here!

Wow! This is tasty!

A Golugh!

It's huge!

What's that stall?

Let's have a look.

Ah! So cute!

It's a doll of the Victory Pokémon, Victini.

Victini?

A Pokémon said to live in this town since ancient times.

I want to meet it...

There aren't many people that have met it though.

Really...?

What kind of Pokémon is it?

It's said that it bestows power.

Power?

It seems that in the past, it helped protect the sword castle.

Amazing!

Give me one of these!

Here.

So that Victini will bestow its power upon you.

With this I'll surely win the battle tournament!

We had planned to help ourselves to all the Pokémon

participating in this festival as well as Pikachu, but...

That was an interesting story, nyar.

The Victory Pokémon, Victini!

A Pokémon that bestows power, nyar.

Well then, there's nothing to do but get it!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Mothers and fathers,

boys and girls... and all you Pokémon!

Welcome to Eint Oak's Harvest Festival!

I am Mormont, the town mayor.

This year, as always,

the orchard has marvelously given us splendid fruits.

Are you enjoying the Harvest Festival?!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Well then,

I declare the Harvest Festival commemorative

battle that you've all been waiting for to be open!

The rules of the battle are simple.

Any trainers that meet in the town have a 1 vs.

1 Pokémon battle with no substitution allowed.

The trainer who keeps this proof of entry until the final is the winner!

Carlita, do your best!

Mum, leave it to me!

Now, start battling!

I'm not gonna lose!

Neither am I!

We'll definitely win!

Zurug!

Zurug, make sure you watch carefully as all the other Pokémon battle.

Alright, let's go!

Brand new places, brand new scents carried upon the wind

Hajimete no basho hajimete no kaze no nioi mm...

But what's the same as always is my excitement!

Hajimete ja nai no wa kono doki-doki!

This brand new map, by the time it gets crumpled up

Shimpin no kono chizu kusha-kusha ni naru-koro ore-tachi

Hey, how far do you think we'll have come?

Nee doko-made susunderu kana?

Something I'll tell only you, I can count my worries - one, two, three

Koko-dake no hanashi fuan hitotsu futatsu mittsu

But the fun I'll have I can't count at all!

Demo tanoshimi wa kazoekirenai!

When I listen carefully,

Mimi o sumaseba

I hear a familiar voice, a voice from the future

Natsukashii koe mirai-kara no koe

Always praying for me

Itsumo inottete-kureteru

"You'll be all right!"

"Kimi wa daijoubu!

"Somehow, all right!"

Nazeka daijoubu!

"You'll all be all right!"

Min'na daijoubu!"

Yeah-he-he-hey, let's start walking!

Yeah-he-he-hey arukidasou!

Yeah-he-he-hey, should we run?

Yeah-he-he-hey hashitchaou ka?

My excitement makes me want to get going!

Doki-doki wa sugu ni uzu-uzu ni!

I don't wanna be standing still anymore!

Ite mo tatte mo irarenai ze!

A never-ending path, a never-ending journey of meetings

Owaranai michi owaranai deai no tabi mm...

But what I want to end is my nervousness!

Owatte-hoshii no wa kono dogimagi!

Even so I wonder if somehow will we notice that

Soredemo nantonaku kidzuite-iru no kana ore-tachi

Yes, it's the start of a friendship!

Sou tomodachi no hajimari!

Something that you may often hear, when we began our smiles were fake...

Arigachi na hanashi saisho dokoka tsukuriwarai...

But they soon became our real faces!

Demo sugu honto no egao de ippai!

Oh wind, carry please,

Kaze yo hakonde

this message I have, these feelings I have

Ore no kono koe ore no kono omoi

To that person in that faraway town

Haruka na machi no ano hito ni

"I am all right!

"Ore wa daijoubu!"

"Of course, all right!"

Metcha daijoubu!

"Because I'm not alone, because I've got friends, I'm all right!"

Hitori ja nai-kara nakama ga iru-kara daijoubu!"

Yeah-he-he-hey, let's start walking!

Yeah-he-he-hey arukidasou!

Yeah-he-he-hey, should we run?

Yeah-he-he-hey hashitchaou ka?

Yeah-he-he-hey, what I'm searching for

Yeah-he-he-hey mezasu-mono wa

Yeah-he-he-hey, is always shining!

Yeah-he-he-hey zutto kagayaku!

My nervousness makes my heart get throbbing!

Dogimagi wa sugu ni tokimeki ni!

I don't wanna be standing still anymore!

Itemotattemo irarenai ze!

Go for it, both of you!

Pokabu, I choose you!

Pokabu's a fire-type,

but its opponent is the water-type Daikenki, huh...

For Satoshi, this battle may turn out to have quite an unpleasant taste.

Pokabu, don't worry!

Let's show them our power!

Alright! Use Ember!

It didn't have much of an effect...

Then use Tackle instead!

Daikenki, Shell Blade!

Oh, my...

Pokabu, are you alright?

Oh, you're fired up, Pokabu!

Alright! Ember once more!

Again?!

How pointless...

Daikenki can no longer fight!

Pokabu wins!

Alright!

You did it!

Good job, Pokabu!

Quite an unexpected reversal... fantastic!

That Ember was great!

Mum...

That Pokabu powered up all of a sudden, didn't it?

It did.

Could it have been...

because of Victini?

It couldn't be...

Would you like a battle?

If you're selling them, then I'm buying!

Of course!

So you're going with Zurug?

Alright! Zurug, go for it!

Zurug?!

Just like with Pokabu, it looks bad this time too...

But...

Sazandra's really cool!

Go, Zurug! Headb...

Zurug! Headbutt one more time!

Sazandra can no longer fight!

Zurug wins!

You did it!

You did it, you did it!

Thanks.

Here.

Thanks.

That was Victini, wasn't it?

Victini?

What do you mean?

I saw it.

Victini lending its strength to Zurug.

You mean this thing?

It was completely useless though...

I mean the real Victini.

The real one's here?!

Where? Where?

Where is Victini?

You can't see it anymore. It became transparent and vanished.

Transparent?

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

Could what I heard back then have been...

Victini's voice...

Did you lend me your power then too?

If you're nearby, then show yourself, Victini!

Satoshi, I've got macarons!

Smart as usual, Dent!

See, Victini! We've got macarons!

There!

It really was there!

Being lured out to show itself with macarons...

Were they good?

I'm Satoshi. This is Pikachu.

I'm Iris.

I am Dent.

I'm Carlita!

Pokabu and Zurug getting stronger...

Was it because you lent them power?

You're so great!

Thanks!

What's wrong?

Ah, it started to cry...

Since you started swinging it about.

Sorry! Sorry! I shouldn't have!

It's a real miracle that Victini's showing itself.

Quite a miracle taste!

Somehow seeing it has made me so happy!

It's made me happy too!

Genuine Victini spotted, nyar!

The Victory Pokemon that bestows power!

If we get it...

we too can power up...

and it'll feel so good!

Victini! Let's go! Look!

Victini...

Victini, what happened?

Victini!

Victini...

You met Victini?

It's true, mum!

Janta-san...

Where's the nicest place to be in this town?

After something unpleasant happens, wouldn't you want to go to a sweet place?

Somewhere to calm down.

Probably Victini hates the barrier.

Barrier?

Around this town is an invisible barrier,

said to stop Victini from going outside the protecting pillars.

The protecting pillars...

An invisible barrier...

That's gotta be what happened!

Hey, you three.

We meet again.

Dread-san!

Brother!

Brother and sister?!

What a surprise.

It's been a while, mother.

Dread! You haven't been in contact for half a year!

When did you get back?

I've just been helping with the restoration of the castle.

I asked him to.

Mormont!

Just because you're the mayor, doesn't mean you can order my son around!

Ah, I can't compare with Janta-chan...

Brother! Victini is really here!

I know.

Overflowing with negative ions!

This place feels so good!

Certainly a sweet and calming place.

Isn't it?

Incidentally, it happens to be my family's orchard.

Hey, wait, Kibago! It'll be dangerous if you roll!

Victini!

I didn't know you couldn't go outside the barrier!

Show yourself! Please!

I've got tasty macarons!

Come out, Victini!

They're saying to follow them?

Victini!

Victini! Are you there?

I'm sorry I upset you earlier!

I really am!

Show yourself! Don't hide away!

Ah, Victini!

There it is!

It really was here!

Satoshi!

It's cold...

You!

Now you did it! You...

Victini looks like it's having fun!

I'm thinking of borrowing Victini's power.

Both me and Janta-chan...

are descendants of a tribe that was once called the People of the Earth.

The People of the Earth...

The tribe in the myth about the castle.

Yeah.

What you are about to hear...

is the tale of the People of the Earth and Victini.

Here we go.

Please look.

Over 1000 years ago, the People of the Earth flourished under their king.

It's Victini!

So it was the king's Pokémon...

Yes, that is what has been said.

That place was called the Home of the Earth.

The Home of the Earth...

They used the energy of the Dragon's Vein.

Dragon's Vein?

A great power flowing invisibly through the earth.

If that power is used well,

a place where nature, Pokémon and humans can live in harmony can be created.

The king had twin princes.

They both had wisdom and courage, and were fine princes.

They both had excellent qualities.

So much that...

"The Hero of Ideals" and "The Hero of Truth"

...were what they became known as.

Those are...

Pokémon!

They both had a great dragon alongside them.

Zekrom and Reshiram!

They only lent their knowledge and strength to the humans they acknowledged.

But...

The two princes had opposing plans for the future of the kingdom.

So much that they fought a great war over it.

Both fought fiercely...

...and wounded each other.

Both great dragons, their strength exhausted,

changed into stones, and began a long sleep.

When the princes had realised their own mistakes,

it was already too late.

The energy of the Dragon's Vein was rampaging!

Seeing the destroyed earth, the king decided to use Victini's power.

Victini's...

power?

Victini...

Lend me your power.

In order to intensify Victini's power,

the king used the protecting pillars to create a barrier around the castle.

The people rode the castle and flew...

until they arrived upon this mountain.

But...

the king had used all his strength...

and so there the protecting pillars and the barrier remained.

Afterward, the rampage of the Dragon's Vein calmed,

and the two princes, deep in reflection upon their actions,

enshrined the stones of the great dragons...

where no-one would find them.

But...

the People of the Earth lost their bond to the earth,

and scattered.

Victini remained here, invisible.

Then Victini's been stuck here over a thousand years?

For over a thousand years...

Only being able to live inside the barrier...

Victini...

Over there is where the Home of the Earth was.

I intend to restore the Home of the Earth.

Restore?

Victini!

Like you said, mum.

If the Home of the Earth can be restored...

Yes...

This is a place where the energy of the earth no longer flows.

So neither humans nor Pokémon can live here.

It would be good if they could, wouldn't it!

Yes.

That is my dream.

I can finally grant your dream, mum.

It doesn't seem like it was that lonely, does it?

Right.

We should have some too?

Thanks.

Thanks!

Merci!

Let's eat!

Tasty!

This is good, Victini!

Three years ago,

Dread came to see me.

I want to call back the People of the Earth scattered around the world,

and restore the Home of the Earth!

There's no way you can!

If you decide you can't do something before even trying,

then you can't do anything!

Since then...

I set out on a journey to find the People of the Earth.

Please, go back.

Bro, I'll give you this!

Thanks.

I'll be back.

At the start, nobody would listen.

Then, I heard its voice.

There is no shortcut to truth.

What?

There is where the truth lies.

I heard a voice coming from the Sword of the Earth.

From the castle?

And so we headed through the underground caves of the castle.

We can't seem to get down any further...

Dread!

Mormont-san!

Dread! How did you get down there?!

I just realised I was here.

The path is choosing who will follow it...?

I'm going on alone!

It was a journey to test me.

But I persevered.

The stone of the great dragon...

Are you who led me here?

I have accepted your truth.

I met Reshiram.

Reshiram?!

That's amazing!

Go ahead.

Reshiram told me that in the past...

the People of the Earth used the Sword of the Earth

to control the energy of the Dragon's Vein.

I'm sorry... Victini...

For leaving you here... forgive me...

Victini...

So you were lonely after all...

Victini...

You want to go there?

I'll make sure to take you to the sea!

Today, the People of the Earth...

...will reclaim their bond to the earth!

Symboler!

The protection pillars!

What is going on?

Victini!

It's begun.

What was that?

Victini!

Let's follow it, nyar!

Victini!

Victini...

Lend me your power.

Dread!

With Victini's power,

the Esper Pokémon gathered in the castle are strengthened.

Please watch.

Satoshi.

Carlita-san, Victini?

What?

The castle!

What is this?!

The castle's moving!

It's flying, nyar...

With this castle I can move the Dragon's Vein!

He finally did it!

We're heading there!

If I take the castle back there,

the Home of the Earth will be completely restored.

Satoshi?

I'm borrowing Victini's power.

It's suffering, isn't it!

Please let it go from there!

I can't.

I still need Victini's power.

Victini!

Stop!

If you keep going, Victini will die!

Dread! Let's stop this!

Mum...

Now, Pikachu! 100,000 Volts!

Pikachu, destroy that! Elecball!

Reshiram!

That's it?

Golugh! Stop Reshiram!

Golugh...

Ranculus! Psychokinesis!

B... Brother...

Pikachu...

100,000 Volts...

Satoshi!

The castle must not be moved...

If the castle is moved again, the Dragon's Vein will rampage...

...it may...even destroy the whole world...

The castle must never be moved again...

Satoshi!

You've woken up!

Where am I...

A storeroom in the castle.

I'm sorry, everyone.

Please forgive my brother.

The castle wasn't meant to be moved!

If the castle gets moved,

the Dragon's Vein will rampage and destroy the whole world!

What are you saying?

Victini told me!

The castle was put on top of the mountain...

...to stop the rampage of the Dragon's Vein!

That's...

In the legend,

the Dragon's Vein rampaged after Reshiram turned into a stone.

Reshiram doesn't know!

Then what should we do?!

Reshiram is too strong...

Zekrom!

Zekrom...?

The other great dragon...

Zekrom will be able to stop Reshiram.

Where is Zekrom?

Dread met Reshiram in the basement of the castle.

So Zekrom should be down there too!

In the basement of the castle...

Satoshi?

This is...

How far does this path go...

It seems like we've been walking in the same place for a while.

Huh?

Where's Satoshi?

Everyone!

I'm here!

Since when?!

How did you get down there?!

I don't know!

We're going on ahead!

We're counting on you!

Make sure to find Zekrom!

I know!

Victini is suffering!

Do you have it?!

The resolve to seek ideals!

We've gotta go!

Jump!

Stay close, Pikachu!

I'm fine.

This is...?

What is your ideal?!

I don't want Victini to die!

I want to save it!

It's lived here alone for over a thousand years.

I'm sure it's been lonely.

I want to take it to see the sea!

Show me your ideal with your resolve!

Janta-san, look down!

That's...

Mormont!

There's trouble on the surface!

The Dragon's Vein has begun to rampage, hasn't it?

How do you know?!

It's just as Satoshi said.

Golugh, let's stop the castle!

Reshiram! Don't let it bother me!

Golugh!

Everyone! Get on!

Golugh! Keep going!

Everyone, keep going, nyar!

Even if you say so...

we're done for...

What was that?!

Golugh, get out of the way!

It's too late!

What?

Satoshi!

So you met Zekrom!

Zekrom!

Zekrom! Take us down to the castle!

Victini!

Ranculus!

Pikachu, 100,000 Volts!

You did well.

Pikachu, Iron Tail!

Pikachu, don't lose!

There are times when sacrifices are necessary to reach the truth!

I don't want any truth that needs sacrifices!

Thank you, Pikachu!

Victini, I'll save you now!

Reshiram! Stop them!

What's wrong, Reshiram...?

Victini...

Why, Reshiram? Why?

The earth is crying in anger.

What?!

Dread! There's trouble on the surface!

The Dragon's Vein is rampaging!

Impossible!

No...

Was what I wanted to do...

...wrong?

Brother...

Is there any way to stop the Dragon's Vein?

Dread?

I don't know. What should I...

Calm the anger of the earth.

Use the Sword!

Right!

I can seal up the Dragon's Vein again with the Sword of the Earth!

Reshiram! Zekrom! Lend me your power!

The energy of the Dragon's Vein is flowing back!

Mormont-san.

The castle may collapse.

Please take everyone out quickly.

Understood.

Everyone, this way!

Victini...

Satoshi!

Dread!

Go ahead of me!

Dread-san...

Satoshi-kun, this is where we part.

But...

This is something I alone must do.

Mormont-san, behind you!

Satoshi! Hurry!

The barrier!

Oh no...

Victini can't pass through!

The barrier is squeezing closer.

Dread-san!

Pikachu, Victini!

Don't let go of me!

So cold...

I can't breathe... for much longer...

What should... I do...

Satoshi-kun, keep going!

Dread-san!

Destroy the protecting pillars!

Let the energy go free!

Satoshi-kun, don't give up!

You were acknowledged by a great dragon!

I won't...

...give up...

Satoshi!

I can't feel... my body...

Sorry... Victini...

I promised...

...I'd take you...

...to the sea...

Sorry...

Victini... what're you...

Victini!

Victini!

Victini...

Pikachu!

Satoshi! Pikachu!

Are you alright?

Yeah.

Dread! I see it!

The head of the Dragon's Vein!

If you bring the castle there...

That's the only way of calming the Dragon's Vein.

Dread! Don't miss!

We're back on the ground...

We're not flying...

The earth is the best, nyar...

Somehow...

this...

feels so good...

We've come to the sea, Victini...

You... used your power for all of us...

And I... I couldn't do anything for you...

Satoshi...

Victini...

Sorry...

Look!

Can you see it, Victini?!

It's one of the macarons you loved!

I've seen this sort of taste before...

Yup!

Satoshi.

I'm gonna eat the other macaron.

I'm gonna eat it!

Victini...

Ah, sorry! Are you okay?

Is that so...

Victini, you're going back to the Home of the Earth, aren't you?

Watch over everyone, won't you?

Victini, there's still more macarons!

Brother.

Everyone...

I'm sorry...

See...

What's most important is what starts now!

Let's find the truth of the Home of the Earth!

My heart, my heart is always full of thanks, shining out

Kokoro ni kokoro ni itsumo aru yo kagayaite-iru ippai no arigatou

In the twilight of the sunset, the clouds will soon

Yuugure ni tasogareteita ano kumo wa itsuka

Be swallowed into the blue, blue night and softly, faintly vanish

Aoi aoi yoru ni nomarete wa hakanaku sotto kieru

My sadness, I wonder where

Kanashimi wa doko kara tomonaku

does it suddenly spring from?

Totsuzen ni yattekuru

I want to love, and love alone...

Aishitai tada sore dake de

Love alone is all I want

Tada sore dake na no ni ne

"Even from loss new life can be born,"

Ushinau-koto de umarete-yuku-koto

"and from there new beginnings can happen..."

Soko kara hajimaru-koto ga aru-koto

Believing that, and accepting it

Sou shinjite ukeirenagara

Let's live on to see our tomorrows

Ashita o tashikamete ikiteyuku yo

In my heart, my heart

Kokoro ni kokoro ni

I always keep your precious unique shine

Itsumo aru yo taisetsu na kagayaita tashika na mono

Even when I'm confused, I want to love In these fleeting days

Tomadoinagara mo eien de wa nai hibi o ippai aishitai

Since I met you

Kimi ni aeta kara

I'm sure I've become stronger

Kitto tsuyoku naru

Someday I'm sure, someday I'm sure among these aimless days

Itsuka kitto itsuka kitto,to ate no nai hibi ni

Though I expect it may be scary at times, I will be able to let go

Kitai shite wa toki ni ojikete tebanashite-shimaunda

Those who believed without fearing

Shinjiru koto osorezu ni iru koto

Those who foolishly believed too much

Shinjisugite orosuka ni naru koto

I won't forget them, and remake their overflowing kindness into my strength

Wasurenai yo afuresou ni naru yasashisa chikara ni shite umarekawaru

For all those who lived, if beyond the light of hope the dream continues

Ikitoshi ikiyuku kibou no hikari no saki ni yume no tsudzuki ga aru-nara

Looking to the sky

Sora o aoide

I want to feel their thanks in the palm of my hand

Kono tenohira ni kanjite ippai no arigatou

As I'm sure we are never, at any point in time, alone

Bokura wa itsudemo donna toki datte kitto hitorikiri ja nainda

In my heart, my heart

Kokoro ni kokoro ni

I always keep your precious unique shine

Itsumo aru yo taisetsu na kagayaita tashika na mono

Even when I'm confused, I want to love in these fleeting days

Tomadoinagara mo eien de wa nai hibi o ippai aishitai

I will keep you and your kindness alive...

Kimi to yasashisa to boku wa ikite-yuku
