NARRATOR As our heroes make their way

to the White Ruins

they were suddenly thrust into Team Plasma's evil plot.

While trying to protect several Pokémon

from Team Plasma's experiments, N was badly injured

when suddenly two mysterious women

appeared out of the thick fog.

ASH "Secrets From Out Of The Fog!"

JESSIE 'First this fog appears

and then the Twerps disappear.'

They couldn't have disappeared very far.

No Twerp's gonna escape from this team!

- Hmm.. - Oh!

- Huh? - Aah!

- Oh.. Yay! - Ah..

- Let's head that way. - Toward a brighter tomorrow!

And a brighter day!

- Reality check. - Where are we?

MEOWTH I don't know but I'm not

swimmin' through that swamp!

[AMAZED]

CILAN Who are you?

PIKACHU [CURIOUS]

ASH And what's..

Huh?

- Look! - Huh?

IRIS 'N's healing.'

Yes, but how can it be?

A pool that can heal?

Huh?

- Oh. - Oh.

N 'Concordia. Anthea.'

It looks like they all know each other.

It would seem that way.

N, are you alright?

[CAUTION]

You must leave now. You are not welcome here.

Yes, go. You have no business seeing this.

[SHOCKED]

- But why? - What did we do?

[ATTACK]

[gasps]

N Wait, please.

I'd rather they all stay.

But, N..

Ash and his friends have created strong bonds with Pokémon.

They'll tell you if you ask them.

[CONFUSED]

[AFFECTIONATE]

[AFFECTIONATE] Thanks, Axew.

PIKACHU/AXEW [AFFECTIONATE]

I guess you're right.

Those Pokémon clearly love them a great deal.

- Huh? - Amazing.

They seem to have the same power as N.

The power to hear a Pokémon 's inner voice.

Mmm, and they're among the few companions of mine

who have that power, hearing the voices of friends.

So they're your companions?

Hold on. Where are we anyway?

I welcome you all to our hidden home.

[CURIOUS]

[CURIOUS]

- Huh? - Huh?

CILAN 'So, N. This is where you live?'

- Yes, temporarily. - What do you mean?

It's a little hideaway I discovered during my travels.

- Hideaway? - Wow.

I can feel the presence of many, many Pokémon.

POKEDEX Gardevoir. The Embrace Pokémon.

If Gardevoir's Trainer needs protecting

Gardevoir creates a small black hole

by using all of its psychic power.

[IRRITATED]

[SHEEPISH]

[EXCITED]

Look, it's a Pidove.

It's so wonderful to see that you can fly now.

[AFFECTIONATE]

Nice to meet you. [SHOCKED]/[PROTECTIVE]

[AGGRESSIVE]

[INDIGNANT]/[SCARED]

I'm so sorry.

That Pidove was caught in a trap set by some people

and was seriously injured.

And ever since, it doesn't trust people at all.

[SAD]

It must've been awful getting caught

in a trap that way.

'All of my friends here were either injured by people'

or hurt in some other terrible way.

So we rescued them and brought them here.

'So many injured Pokémon.'

[STARTLED] [CONCERNED]

'Physical wounds can be treated without much difficulty'

but emotional wounds are not so easy to heal.

'My companions watch over these injured Pokémon '

'with tender loving care until they're healed.'

Their concern touches my heart.

Amazing!

So what got you to go on a journey to rescue Pokémon

in the first place?

Is it something to do with Team Plasma?

Yeah, is it? You're always facing danger.

It's like protecting Pokémon is what you live for.

Of course, if this is too personal to share with us

we understand. We certainly don't mean to pry.

- What? - Now, now.

Everyone has things they'd rather not talk about.

It's fine, I'll tell you.

You've all come with me this far, so you should know.

- Huh? - 'I owe you an explanation.'

N I'm not sure where to begin.

Ever since I can remember, I lived in a big mansion.

I always stayed inside.

But I was never lonely.

[door opens] Huh? Ah! Ah.

[laughing]

[WARM]

[AFFECTIONATE]

Living in a big mansion? Sounds lonely to me.

[SYMPATHETIC] And you never went outside?

Unbelievable.

Not being able to go outside is unthinkable.

Your parents must have wanted to make sure you were safe.

No, you're wrong.

I was never allowed to have any sort of interaction

with the outside world for an altogether different reason.

Huh?

It was because of Ghetsis Team Plasma's founder.

[SHOCKED]

GHETSIS 'Too many Pokémon have been

oppressed and hurt by people'

'for far too long.'

To save them from this awful fate

this is the mission of Team Plasma.

One day, you shall be Team Plasma's greatest leader.

You have the power to hear the inner voices of Pokémon.

A power given to you to be able to fulfill your mission.

[gasps]

It's so sad. We believed everything that Ghetsis told us.

But everything he said was a lie.

- That's awful! - Yes.

Ghetsis had a different purpose in mind for us.

He used us. Used us all for his plan.

And N, Ghetsis was well aware

that N was the most powerful of all three of us.

But it was too late. We weren't able to see the truth in time.

Hm..

So what was the real reason then?

Are you saying Ghetsis never wanted to help Pokémon at all?

I don't really know.

But then, one night, two years ago

I was suddenly called before him.

He planned to use me in some kind of ceremony.

When suddenly..

MAN #1 'Uh, look!'

- 'What's that?' - 'What's that?'

Huh?

[screaming]

But why? Reshiram?

[AGITATED]

Are you saying you met Reshiram?

Yes.

[screaming]

What is it that you deem unworthy?

What more do you want from us?

Ah..

N It was something

we were not meant to touch.

For some reason, I was spared. I have no idea why.

When I awoke, there was no one else around.

Then you two came and found me.

It was a trick. Everything Ghetsis told us was a lie.

The idea that he would bring about

Reshiram's wrath like that.

What will we do now?

It seems we have no other choice. We have to protect N.

Ghetsis must never use him again.

Hm.

And so the three of us set off on our journey.

And found our way here.

It sounds really rough.

[SYMPATHETIC]

All the things you've gone through.

[SYMPATHETIC]

So why did you leave here?

Wouldn't it be risky if Team Plasma discovered you?

Of course it would.

I know it would have been easier

to stay here and live in peace, but..

We wanted to see the outside world.

And we needed to find out what Ghetsis was planning

when he summoned Reshiram. So we had to go out.

'And while we were travelling, we saw the terrible things'

'that Team Plasma was doing everywhere.'

We couldn't just sit by and ignore it.

Of course, that's why you began your quest to rescue

all those Pokémon from Team Plasma.

I wanted to save my friends.

[SAD] But it isn't only Team Plasma.

- Huh? - There really are people

who oppress many kinds

of Pokémon all the time.

In that way, Ghetsis was telling the truth.

If Pokémon are ever to be truly happy, they must be left alone.

Living apart from people.

That would prevent many tragedies.

Wait a minute!

It's not fair to accuse all people of oppressing Pokémon.

Right. There are all kinds of nice people.

[EMPHATIC]

Yeah, it's true! [EMPHATIC]

Stop! This is a refuge for Pokémon.

I'm sorry, but tomorrow, you're going to have to leave here.

Huh?

- Hm? - Hm?

[sighs]

You let N get away?

ANGIE Yes.

Please forgive us, Lord Ghetsis.

One thing, why are you so consumed

with N and his whereabouts anyway?

Hm..

COLRESS 'I admit his skills are'

'somewhat interesting'

but your concern seems a bit overdone.

How could he possibly pose

any sort of credible threat to Team Plasma?

My concern is none of your business, doctor.

You have one job and only one job.

Conduct your research and then present me

with the results right away.

And I'm doing just that.

Regarding my current experiment, I'm very near its completion.

And I'm quite confident you will find that which you desire.

I like hearing good news. Yes, indeed.

Thank you. You can count on me.

Hm..

GROUP Who's that Pokémon?

GROUP It's Gardevoir!

I know there are a lot of bad people out there

capable of terrible things.

And Pokémon won't forgive them that easily.

IRIS Ash.

ASH But that doesn't mean

we should just give up.

No way!

I wanna be the best friend to Pokémon that I can be.

- Mm. - Huh?

[AMUSED]

You're right. And that closeness promotes understanding.

Plant the seeds and someday they will sprout.

Mm-hm. I say we talk to Concordia and Anthea.

'And try to convince them too.'

ASH 'Yeah!'

[FRIENDLY]

[SURPRISED]/[CURIOUS]

PIKACHU [CURIOUS]

[FRIENDLY]

[EXCITED]

PIKACHU/AXEW [EAGER]/[FRIENDLY]

[WARM]

[EMPHATIC]

[CURIOUS]

[CURIOUS]

Check it out.

[EXCITED]/[FRIENDLY]

[FRIENDLY]

[FRIENDLY]

[chuckles] [FRIENDLY]

Wow. You're the Pidove we met yesterday.

[WARM]

- Sure. I'd love to be friends. - Mm-hmm.

Nothing better than making new friends.

A small step for people but a big step for our world.

[JOYOUS]

- Oh.. - Oh..

[chuckles]

We found him.

Aldith. It appears that we've finally located their hideout.

Good. Now make sure you capture them this time.

- Do not let them escape. - 'Right.'

[CONTENT]

[SURPRISED]

[JOYOUS]

[SCARED]

[gasps] Deerling, what's wrong?

- Ah! - They're upset.

[SHOCKED]

Alright. What happened?

[URGENT] Huh? We're being invaded?

- Huh? - Hm.

Huh?

[SHOCKED]

What a coincidence. We've been discovered.

Could it be you're the ones who led them to us?

Of course not.

We wouldn't do that in a million years!

He's right, we've been right here playing

with all these Pokémon the whole time!

We couldn't have told anyone if we wanted to!

- Hm.. - This is no time to argue.

We have to get to a safe place.

[PROTECTIVE]/[EXERTION]

[gasps] [PROTECTIVE]

[AGGRESSIVE]

Team Plasma!

There you are. Now, come along with us quietly.

If not, then we'll just have to take you by force!

[CHALLENGING]

Magnezone. Use Magnet Bomb.

[MAGNET BOMB MOVE]

[EXERTION]

[ALARMED]/[SCARED]

I can't just stand by and not do anything.

Oh! N, please don't.

Gardevoir. Please get everyone away from here.

[AGREEMENT]

N Concordia, Anthea, hurry.

- Wait, but, N-- - You're not leaving!

[AGGRESSIVE] Pansage, we need your help.

[CONFIDENT]/[HOSTILE]

Bullet Seed, now!

[BULLET SEED MOVE]/[ALARMED]

Muk, let's go!

[AGGRESSIVE]

Now, it's our turn. Excadrill, use Metal Claw!

[DETERMINED]/[METAL CLAW MOVE]

[PAINED]/[SCARED]

- Huh? - Huh?

You leave this to us.

I think you should get out of here too, N.

- But, Ash-- - Think about it.

You're the one they're after.

Go. In the meantime, I'll handle it with Pikachu.

[CONFIDENT]

Hurry! EXCADRILL [URGENT]

CILAN Run away, please!

- Oh! - Oh!

Alright. Thank you very much, Ash. Everyone.

[grunting] Stay out of our way!

Pignite. Use Flamethrower!

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]/[PAINED]

Oshawott, Hydro Pump.

[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]/[EXERTION]

Flamethrower, let's go!

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]/[PAINED]

Oshawott, Hydro Pump.

[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]

But why? Why are they doing this for us?

Because Ash and his friends love Pokémon.

They love them every bit as much as we do.

And that is why they'll do anything they can to help them.

I didn't know there were people like that.

Of course. There are.

That's not to say all people are kind.

But still, it would be a mistake to think all people are evil.

'I've learned that.'

But now, they found us and we have to deal with it.

I guess that means we'll have to move again.

Hm.

Anyone who resists Team Plasma is a fool.

I want you to tell me right now what you guys are tryin' to do.

- And why are you after N? - Hah!

I don't have to tell an annoying little punk

like you anything about Team Plasma.

- Oh, yeah? - Magnet Bomb.

[MAGNET BOMB MOVE]

[PAINED]

[grunts]

Pansage. Use Bullet Seed.

PANSAGE [BULLET SEED MOVE]

[PAINED][STUNNED]

[laughs]

- That's the best you can do? - Pignite!

[CONCERNED] Okay, Pignite, return.

[ANGRY]

Use Thunderbolt.

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt too.

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

Alright, Pansage, Bullet Seed.

[BULLET SEED MOVE]/[WORRIED]

[ALARMED]/[STUNNED]

Excadrill. Focus Blast!

[FOCUS BLAST MOVE]

[PAINED]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]

Huh?

You'll pay for this.

[gasps]

- 'Ash!' - Huh?

- 'This way!' - Quick.

[URGENT]

- Stop! Huh? - Huh?

- Where did they go? - Mmm.

[grunting]

Alright, it's N.

Thanks for all your help.

We've managed to relocate all the Pokémon to a safe place.

Awesome. That's great. [RELIEVED]

I feel like I should be thanking you

for protecting all the Pokémon.

But still, as long as they're in contact with people

there isn't a Pokémon anywhere who will ever be truly safe.

[groans]

- Huh? - Hm?

Here comes that pesky fog.

Can't see the cute nose on my face.

JAMES 'But surely you can see

those wisps of white.'

JESSIE Quiet. The Twerps?

- 'Negative. Why it's..' - 'Team Plasma!'

[grunting] They got away again!

MEOWTH/JESSIE/JAMES Hm..

Listen. We're not your enemies.

That's right.

People and Pokémon can truly live together

as friends.

Yes, I hear you.

If only it were so. Goodbye.

ASH N?

N, come back!

[URGENT]

- Huh? - They vanished.

And the mansion and the forest.

[PERPLEXED]/[CONFUSED]

Maybe, maybe it was just a dream.

[CONFUSED] Maybe not.

[UNSURE]

Huh? Look over there.

NARRATOR The secrets of N and Team

Plasma are secrets no more

for our heroes, but N's whereabouts are.

He vanished without a trace.

Will our heroes ever see him again? And if so, when?

The journey continues.
