NARRATOR The Legendary Pokémon Reshiram

is said to have transformed

into the Light Stone, which Professor Cedric Juniper

has unearthed at the White Ruins.

But Team Plasma is determined to steal it!

Using its Pokémon control device on several Pokémon

Team Plasma is now unleashing a fierce attack

on Cedric and our heroes!

Crustle, Rock Slide!

[ROCK SLIDE MOVE]

[PAINED]

Dragonite, Flamethrower, go!

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

Stop anyone who gets in our way!

Right! Liepard, Hyper Beam!

[EXERTION]/[ATTACK]

[PANICKING]/[EXERTION]

[PAINED]

- I can hear them! - Huh?

Our friends' voices, their cries!

Is Team Plasma behind all this?

Come on! Let's find a way out of here!

ASH "Team Plasma And

The Awakening Ceremony!"

[ATTACK]

Now, go!

[EXERTION]

[EXERTION]

Ah! Those Pokémon are headed straight for us!

They're trying to force their way in!

This is too dangerous for my taste!

LOOKER We've got to keep them

back at all costs!

[ANGRY]

[EXERTION]

[ATTACK]

Dragonite, Flamethrower!

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

[PAINED]

Crustle, Rock Wrecker, go!

[ROCK WRECKER MOVE]/[PAINED]

Use Rock Slide!

Ice Beam, quick!

[ICE BEAM MOVE]

[EXERTION]

Now's your chance to get out of here!

- Where do we escape to? - This way!

IRIS/CILAN Right!

[AMAZED]

Huh?

- N, do you hear something? - Hmm.

The situation's getting worse up there!

Huh?

All my friends! I can hear their desperate crying!

Okay. Then we'd better move it!

[AGREEMENT] Yes. Let's hurry!

[AGREEMENT]

[ANGRY]/[ATTACK]

[EXERTION]

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]/[PAINED]

[ROCK WRECKER MOVE]/[PAINED]

[EXERTION]

So, they're going to insist on getting in our way, eh?

'In that case, they can sample this!'

[chuckles]

Ah! Oh, no! They're attempting to control your Pokémon!

[SURPRISED]

'Get them back' 'in their Poké Balls!'

- Right. - 'Right!'

Dragonite, return!

Crustle, return!

We made it! Just in time!

[YELLING]

Stop! They'll try to control you, too!

They've pulled back their Pokémon!

There's no one to stop us now!

Alright! Everyone, attack!

[ANGRY]

Liepard, use Shadow Ball!

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[screaming]

[EXERTION]

[panting]

- Huh? - It's over!

Surrender, now!

[grunting]

As long as they still have the use of that control device

I'm not sure there's anything we can do!

I know the International Police backup is on the way

but at this rate, Team Plasma could grab the Light Stone!

But even if I get out there now, I don't stand a chance.

Ugh! Not with just this!

I would say, at this point

the score is Team Plasma, one, Twerps, zero!

Perhaps a good time for our entrance.

Not yet! Let's chill a little longer.

But we need to move, instead of sitting back

and enjoying the action from the sidelines!

What if Team Plasma makes off with the Light Stone

while we just sit here on our laurels?

Nah. Slow and steady wins the race.

[Ash grunts]

[EXERTION]

Huh?

- N, what's wrong? - Huh?

Are you sensing things out there again?

I'm not. In fact, I can't sense anything.

Huh?

[CURIOUS]

I could hear their screams echoing loudly in my head.

But now, everything's quiet!

You know, N, Professor Juniper's dad

has taught us a whole lot of stuff!

He has all these rules that he calls, "The Adventure Rules."

- "Adventure Rules?" - Yeah!

Adventure rule number four

"You never give up until the very end!"

Because there's always got to be a way out. You get it?

'I'm not giving up until the very end!'

So, let's dig! And get out of here!

[AGREEMENT]

[EXERTION]

[PAINED]

Huh? Oh, yeah!

I forgot! Let's get everybody to help out!

'Okay, gang!'

[APPEARING]

[APPEARING]

[EXERTION]/[SURPRISED]

[APPEARING]

[APPEARING]

[EXERTION]

[EXERTION]/[SHOCKED]

Okay, we want to get out of here.

So will you give us a hand?

[AGREEMENT]

[EXERTION]

[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]

Hey, great idea!

That water will make the dirt a lot softer

so it's easier to use Dig!

[AGREEMENT]

[EXCITED]

[DIG MOVE]

Awesome, Krookodile! You know, nobody uses Dig better than you!

[EXCITED]

[DRAGON TAIL MOVE]

Way to go, Charizard!

[EXERTION]

Great stuff, Pignite!

[EXERTION]

'Nice work, Snivy!'

[EXERTION]

[EXCITED]

'Course I'll help, too. I'm coming!

[EXERTION]

Keep it up, everybody!

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

Incredible. Is that what it's like?

The bond between Ash and his Pokémon?

Huh. Lord Ghetsis will be here soon.

Barret!

I've had enough. Force them to go underground! Quickly!

Hurry and secure N, and then bring me the Light Stone!

Hn! Right! Golurk!

Use Shadow Ball and widen that hole!

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[screaming]

[LOOKING]

[EXERTION]/[CURIOUS]

[ANGRY]

[PANICKING]

[EXERTION]

[EXERTION]

ASH 'N, we did it!'

Yeah!

- Ash! - And N! They're okay!

The Light Stone's safe, as well!

[all exclaim]

ASH Team Plasma!

Of course! So it was them, after all.

Look! There's N!

Secure him and the Light Stone immediately!

Right! Liepard, use Shadow Ball!

[SHADOW BALL MOVE] N! Watch out!

[PAINED]

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[PAINED]

[SHOCKED]/[PANICKING]

[WORRIED]

GROUP Who's that Pokémon?

GROUP It's Timburr!

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[EXERTION]

[WORRIED]

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]/[ATTACK]

[CONCERNED]

[ASSURING]

[EXERTION]

[thinking] Pignite and Charizard

they have a really strong bond, too.

Now, Pignite and Charizard, Double Flamethrower!

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

[SCARED]/[PAINED]

[HAPPY]

[IMPRESSED]

[READY]

What, Krookodile?

[DIG MOVE]

[STRUGGLING]

[IMPRESSED]

Your Dig's a lot stronger now. That was some awesome stuff!

[PROUD]/[EXERTION]

Sure. Oshawott, use Hydro Pump!

[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]

Snivy, use Leaf Storm!

[LEAF STORM MOVE]

[PAINED]

[PROUD]

[IMPRESSED]

[thinking] That strong bond isn't just

between Ash and his Pokémon.

When Ash is involved, an amazing bond forms

among the Pokémon themselves!

How can this be?

BARRET Ah! Why you..

Control those Pokémon, too!

Hmm.

JUNIPER They're targeting Ash's Pokémon!

CILAN This isn't good.

Ash! Quick! Get everyone back in their Poké Balls!

'Hurry up or they'll be controlled!'

Controlled? Huh?

Charizard, Krookodile, return!

[SURPRISED]

I'm locked on. And firing now!

No, you don't!

- What? - Stop him!

[grunting]

It's over.

Hurry, Ash! Now's your chance!

Right! Pignite, return!

'Oshawott, return! Snivy, you, too!'

We made it. They're just fine. Can't control them now!

Huh?

[CONFUSED]

- What about Pikachu? - That's right!

Pikachu doesn't like to go in its Poké Ball!

Oh, no! Then they'll be able to control Pikachu!

- Hm.. - Huh?

[CONFUSED]

[PAINED]

Uh! Oh, no, Pikachu!

[HOSTILE]

[ATTACK]

[gasps]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[screaming]

Whaddaya know, they even managed

to control the Twerp's Pikachu, too!

[screaming]

[ATTACK]

Pikachu, stop!

[SURPRISED]/[ANGRY]

Hmph. A foolish attempt.

Oh, no. Ash.

Hey, buddy.

[EXERTION]

[HOSTILE]

[ATTACK]

[screaming]

[thinking] Even the strong bond

between Ash and Pikachu can't prevent this!

Stop! You're going to hurt yourself, Ash!

Standing there and enduring Pikachu's Thunderbolt head-on

could be an awful mistake!

[grunts]

[ANGRY] Come on, Pikachu, it's me.

Don't you know me? Buddy?

It's alright.

I promise.

[HOSTILE]/[ATTACK]

[screaming]

- Ash! Oh, no! - Hm!

Trying to undo my control on Pokémon

is a complete waste of your energy.

Stop it right now!

Do you want me to destroy the Light Stone?

- Destroy? What are you doing? - N?

This is what you want!

The Light Stone and me too.

'Undo Pikachu's mind control and we're both yours!'

But if you refuse me..

Aldith, what should we do?

Getting the Light Stone is our primary objective.

Right.

Fine! It's a deal!

We'll turn off the EM wave that's controlling Pikachu.

Now, bring the Light Stone up to us!

[HOSTILE]

[SURPRISED]

[WEAK]

I won't allow them to hurt you anymore.

I've learned so much from you. Both of you.

No! You must not hand the Light Stone over to Team Plasma!

CILAN/IRIS/JUNIPER Huh?

IRIS 'What's that?'

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Hmm.

Lord Ghetsis is arriving.

[door opens]

Sir, we have secured the Light Stone.

We've captured N as well.

Very good.

'We'll prepare for the ceremony right away!'

Hmm.

[panting]

Uh..

[EXERTION] Pikachu, you're back!

[SURPRISED]

N Ghetsis, do you really

want to make the same mistake all over again?

Remember back!

All the horrible things that happened

when you first summoned Reshiram!

That won't happen this time

because we now have the Pokémon control device.

You what?

I have no need for you anymore.

Oh, Legendary Pokémon, Reshiram!

Come forth and ignite your flames

'and descend into our world once more!'

Don't do it, Reshiram!

You mustn't appear! For your own good!

You must remain in the shape of the Light Stone, no matter what!

[SURPRISED]

Are they serious? Awakening Reshiram?

[SHOCKED]

NARRATOR And so, Ghetsis has begun

awakening of the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram!

As our heroes look on in a state of shock

will Reshiram reveal itself from the Light Stone?

The answer to come, as the journey continues.
