M05: Difference between revisions

(Note: The following scene was only in the Japanese version. The sections in '''bold''' are what is only in the Japanese version.)  

The scene fades back and '''we see a shot of a small stone carving of [[Alto Mare]], the film's setting. This storybook-like scene tells a backstory of an old couple who lived there eons ago. One day, they found 2 wounded children (a boy and a girl) on the beach. The couple's medical knowledge helped the children get better. Then suddenly, an evil monster appeared and attacked the city, and meteors come down on Alto Mare like drops of rain. And as the sharded meteors strike the city, the buildings and walkways of the city begin to take color of the monster. We then see the elderly couple about to meet their doom- but then all of a sudden, a mysterious, enigmatic light protrudes from the children- and in front of the elderly couple's eyes, the 2 children start to levitate- and they both transform. It is now revealed that the 2 children were actually Pokémon- the boy was a {{p|Latios}}, and the girl was a {{p|Latias}}, both classified as the Eon Pokémon. The Latias and Latios, with the mysterious light surrounding them, rise up even higher. They call their friends, and a whole bunch of Latias and Latios appear on screen and together, they form a power to defeat and destroy the evil monster. The power the Latias and Latios conjured was the [[Soul Dew]], and it is given to the elderly couple in the form of a glowing, transparent blue orb. Alto Mare became peaceful again, and the Latias and Latios left the city, and it is revealed that the Latias and Latios will appear where the Soul Dew is present, and that the city was never attacked again by the evil monster. The camera moves out and''' a page turns. We then see an intense circle of light on a floor and and hear then see footsteps. The book then closes, and a wide shot shows that we are in the present time in a library, during the night. 2 women are hiding behind a bookshelf, with a security guard closing in on them, and then they scale a wall and jump out an opened window. The security guard looks around in the darkness with his flashlight and he walks alongside the bookcase, and he finds a missing slot where a book should have been and a rose is in its place. The books come together and the rose is forced out, flying off into the security guard's hands, with a card with a metallic red background that lands on the floor with 2 kissmarks (one red, one purple) on the bottom-right hand corner.

The scene cuts to an exterior of the roof of the library, where the two women grab on to a white-colored rope and slide down it on a pulley, hopping into their car that looks like a cross between a {{wp|train}} and a {{wp|Ferrari}}. We then see the 2 women in close-up- the driver, [[Oakley]], book in hand, waiting for the passenger- [[Annie]], her older sister, to strap in. Annie gives Oakley the book, and Annie starts to wonder if it is a legend, and Oakley assures her that it is. Oakley steps on the gas, then they head towards the end of a cliff. Annie pushes a button, and a rocket booster launches the car off the cliff. The car then changes to a rocket-propelled aircraft. As they fly through the night, Oakley also tells Annie that once they get to Alto Mare, they can find out more about the legend. Annie says that she doesn't care, all she wants to see is the Soul Dew. Oakley remarks that there are many more amazing things about the Dew. As the aircraft files over the ocean, they come across a strip of land- and both Annie and Oakley identify it as Alto Mare. They both chuckle menacingly.

After the title sequence display, we cut to Alto Mare in its present form, and it is a beautiful, sprawling ancient island city; full of canals, tourists, museums and old buildings. This city has striking similarites to {{wp|Venice}}, {{wp|Italy}} (which is the city that inspired Alto Mare). We see a bridge over a large canal and a number of people in rafts with their [[Water (type)|Water-type]] Pokémon, as a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} fly overhead the competitors and the bridge. An announcer speaks over a megaphone that the Tour de Alto Mare, a water race through Alto Mare, is about to start. We also see Ash with his {{AP|Totodile}}, and Misty with her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} as competitors. They look at each other determinedly. We then see Brock holding [[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]], with Pikachu standing on the railing of the bridge, cheering. Then the announcer announces that the race is about to start. 3 {{p|Natu}}, standing one on top of the other, raise their small wings then and the Pokémon supporting the 3 Natu, a {{p|Xatu}}, opens its wings, and the competitors are off! Ash takes the lead, and up on the bridge, Brock is distracted by a pretty girl and while Pikachu is jumping up and down, it falls off the bridge and concidentally lands on Ash's head. (As this sequence progresses, the opening credits roll.) As a few racers including Misty pass Ash, he speeds up and catches one before the first corner, and by then, a competitor named [[Ross]] and his {{p|Wailmer}} are in the lead with Misty in second, Ash in third and another competitor in fourth who catches air off the waves, falls off his raft and crashes into a boat at the first corner, all while Ash rockets by. We see the race going with Ash and Misty battling and while doing so, they catch Ross, and Ash goes by between Misty and Ross, and then through another turn, all three are side by side. After a shot showing the island city's location in comparison with the [[Johto]] region, Ross is back in the lead. We then see 2 cloaked, mysterious flying Pokémon flying around the city. As they fly by, an {{p|Aipom}} detects them, and the 2 Pokémon fly overhead the racers in the canal. Ash, Misty and Ross are still dueling. As they approach a restaurant, where we see [[Team Rocket]] members [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} scarfing down spaghetti with meatballs, and as the racers pass by, the trio are all drenched by the water the racers' rafts are kicking up. We then see Brock watching the race on a television screen, and thinking the pretty girl is still there, he points out his friends, but he turns his head and an old woman is standing there, and Brock hangs his head in depression. As the three leaders still duke it out, Ash attempts to take the lead by slowing down very late for a corner, but overshoots it, flies off his raft and is about to go into a wall- when the smaller of the 2 cloaked Pokémon comes out of nowhere and saves Ash and Pikachu from being hurt. They then fall into the canal, and fall several places behind. As other racers go by, Ash and Pikachu swim quickly to the raft and Totodile pulls them back into the race. Then the smaller mysterious Pokémon picks up the end of Ash's teather handle tied to Totodile, and they pick up a considerable amount of speed. Ash, Pikachu and Totodile blast by other racers and a boat. (At this point, the title sequence has ended.) We then hear a tower bell ringing, and then the announcer speaking over his megaphone. The crowd waits for the first racers to come under a small bridge and out of the narrow canals- and it is Ross and Wailmer leading, with Misty and Corsola a close second. The race is down to these two people- and then out of nowhere- Ash, who is going much faster than everyone else (thanks to the cloaked Pokémon), blasts by Misty and Ross, and Ash can't believe how apparently fast his Totodile is. Then, the bigger cloaked Pokémon picks up the smaller one and Ash, Pikachu and Totodile go even faster. But the larger Pokémon pulls them off the course and through another route, and Ash is terrified as to how fast he is going, and his raft then crashes into a concrete sidewalk, and at the same time, both cloaked Pokémon let go of the teather. Ash jumps out of the raft, runs up some stairs, jumps over a ledge and falls into the water again. The race is lost for Ash- but not for Misty, as she and Ross battle down to the line-they go under the bridge, they're neck in neck- and they then both cross the finish line in what appears to be the same time! After crossing the finish line, Misty fails to stop and she falls off her raft and into the water. The race marshals check who was the winner with frame-by-frame replay and- it's Corsola who crosses the line first by the end of its corals! The announcer announces Misty as the winner of the race. Brock cheers for and waves at Misty, as half the crowd is shocked and speechless, and the other half is applauding Misty's performance. Misty embraces her Corsola, and to celebrate her victory, Ross offers Misty a ride in his boat. As Brock cheers, he then starts to wonder where Ash is. Ash is kneeling on the concrete sidewalk he crashed into earlier, checking the condition of the boat. Totodile hangs its head in depression, but Ash consoles it, telling it everyone makes a wrong turn once in a while. Totodile's spirits are immediately cured and it embraces Ash. We then see the 2 mysterious Pokémon, still cloaked, looking down on Ash and his Pokémon. They then fly away through a narrow alleyway, and as they go through a light passing through a window, we see them both uncloaked as they fly seperately through the light each for about a quarter of a second.

The scene cuts to Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu on a gondola, with Ross steering the gondola. Our heroes are awed at the awesome, magnificent sight of the city of Alto Mare. They are also enjoying sailing on a gondola. Misty thanks Ross for talking her and friends on a ride on his gondola, but Ross says that it is him who should be thanking her for letting him take the Water Race Champion in his gondola. Misty is flattered, and she looks at the medal she was given for the race. Ross asks her if she likes it, and it is a glass medallion with 2 Pokémon on it. Misty then takes sight of 2 statues on top of pillars- and she asks Ross what they are. Ross recognizes them and points out that one to the right is Latios and the one to the left is Latias. He tells them that according to legend, those 2 Pokémon saved the city from disaster and that they protect Alto Mare from danger. Brock wonders if they really exist, and Ash says that he would like to see the real Latias and Latios. Misty then looks at her medal, and that the 2 Pokémon on the medallion are Latias and Latios. Ross tells them that they never see them because it is always very peaceful in Alto Mare.  

The scene cuts to a flock of Pidgey flying upwards and then their shadows, and out comes a flying spy-camera of sorts, and it lands on a surface, and 4 legs protrude from its base. It gets a very good view of all the people down in the main square, it looks around, and we then see a computer screen showing a thermal layout, and then Annie and Oakley. Annie asks Oakley if she is sure that Latias and Latios are in the crowd of people, and Oakley reminds her that both Pokemon can disguise themselves as people, and that Pokémon have different body temperatures than humans. A person with blue (instead of red) is walking about in the square. Oakley is sure that person is either Latias or Latios. They take off through in their boat, through the buildings, determined to catch this person. We then see Jessie, James and Meowth about to have some ice-cream, but when Annie and Oakley speed past them in their boat, they are drenched with water yet again. Jessie yells at them, but James catches a glimpse of the two thieves, and idenfies them as Annie and Oakley. (In the dub, they are spies for [[Giovanni]].) Jessie has never heard of these two, and James says they are some of the best thieves there are. He also says if they are here, then there must be something going on. Jessie gets up, and if they were to outsmart the best thieves, Meowth then rises and says that they would become the #1 thieves. Jessie likes their idea, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops out of its [[Poké Ball]] and agrees, and Jessie simply returns it back.

The scene cuts to Ash, Misty and Brock who are getting off Ross's gondola. He tells them about certain places to eat around Alto Mare. They say their goodbyes, and Ash, Misty and Brock run off to eat. Pikachu is behind, and it stops and sees a tap with drains around it through a distance and an arch. There is a woman there soaking her {{p|Vaporeon}}, and they walk off. Pikachu has run up to the water tap, and would like the tap to run water, but it has been turned off, and Pikachu is saddened. Then, the tap suddenly starts to run water, and Pikachu looks up, and  a pretty, short brown-haired girl has turned on the tap for Pikachu. Pikachu is happy, and it drinks from the fountain and soaks itself in the running water. Ash then appears, wondering if Pikachu has made new friends. Ash thanks the girl for helping Pikachu, and the girl walks up to Ash, bends forward and circles Ash strangely, and Ash nervously moves back while the girl circles Ash. She then runs off, much to the dismay and confusion of Ash, over a small stream and through a tunnel, out of sight. Pikachu then continues to soak itself under the running water.  

The scene cuts to 3 children running along a canal, and the strange girl appears through the tunnel. She starts walking along the canal in the opposite direction the children were running. We then see Annie and Oakley in their boat, and they see that the Pokémon has taken the form of a girl, and they figure out that the girl is actually a [[Latias (movie 5)|Latias]]. Annie looks through a pair of special glasses and sees that the girl is indeed a Latias. Being a fashion freak, Annie wonders what brand of clothes the girl is wearing. Annie and Oakley start to go alongside the girl, then Annie asks "I love that shirt... where did you get it, Latias?" The girl starts to become scared, and she runs away from the two antagonists. Annie sends out her {{p|Espeon}} and Oakley sends out her {{p|Ariados}}. The two Pokémon chase after the girl and while Pikachu is enjoying itself under the tap, it senses what is happening between the girl/Latias and the antagonists' two Pokémon, and it runs off in that direction, calling Ash to come with it who turns off the tap and runs after Pikachu. We then see the girl/Latias running away from Ariados, and she runs across the bridge, but Ariados scales the side of the bridge and cuts off the girl/Latias. She tries to run in the opposite direction, but is cut off and surrounded by Espeon. It then uses {{m|Psychic}} on the girl/Latias and Ariados uses {{m|String Shot}} and bounds the girl/Latias. Annie and Oakley, sitting in their boat, come up to the attempted kidnapping and Annie asks the girl/Latias in an intimidating manner why she ran away from them, they hadn't done anything to her, and Oakley says that they just want to talk to her. Ash and Pikachu come in, and Ash shouts at Annie and Oakley, wondering what they are doing to the girl/Latias. Annie sarcastically remarks that they were giving her "fashion advice" while Ash pulls away at the String Shot the girl/Latias is covered in. While tearing away at the String Shot, Ash remarks that she doesn't want it. Oakley asks Ash if he would like to give her tips on fashion, but Ash gives them a tip, and tells them to leave the girl/Latias alone. Annie and Oakley, classy as ever, act sarcastically scared to Ash's threatening comments and Annie orders her Espeon to "punish" Ash with {{m|Psybeam}}, which it does. Ash shouts again at Annie and Oakley, and retaliates with Pikachu chasing after Espeon. Espeon hops onto their boat. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and the attack hits the boat, Annie, Oakley and Espeon, all being affected by the attack and Annie falls off the boat, into the water. Ash grabs the girl/Latias's hand and they run off. Pikachu then shocks Ariados. Annie's hair is ruined, and is angry, and she and Oakley send Espeon and Ariados after Ash. Ash, the girl and Pikachu run through a series of alleyways while Espeon and Ariados chase after them. They then over a bridge, and a few hundred feet Ash has lost himself. But then role reversal as the girl/Latias grabs Ash's hand and runs up some stairs past an elderly woman and her {{p|Vulpix}}. At this point, Espeon and Ariados have lost Ash, the girl/Latias and Pikachu. She leads them up some more stairs, and we then see Ash and Pikachu up over a balcony overlooking where they started. He then sees his friends Misty and Brock and they call to him, saying his food is getting cold and that they were heading over to a museum later. He then turns and starts to ask the girl who those two women were- but the girl has vanished. Ash wonders where she went.

The scene cuts to a shot of the ocean as the camera moves away from it, revealing the Latios statue on the right. We then see Ash, Misty and Brock, awed at the sight of the museum of which they are about to enter. Ash describes it as looking more like a palace than a museum. We then see the same spy camera we saw eariler, and it zooms in on Ash, and Annie and Oakley look on at their screen, with Oakley saying "you won't get away from me."

The scene fades into the inside of the museum, as we see Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu awed at the museum they are in. They walk up to a reconstruction of a Pokémon skeleton, and a large, elderly man named [[Lorenzo]] walks up to them and reveals that it is the skeleton of an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. He also tells them that there are many different fossils to look at. Ash sees another one, and Misty identifies it as a Kabutops. They walk further into the museum. Brock steps into an intense ray of light coming through a window, and becomes hopeful that he will definitely find a girl in Alto Mare, but Misty disagrees. Lorenzo sheds light on the fact that the museum temple and the 2 pillars were built in gratitude to the Latias and the Latios who protected their city from being destroyed. We then see a huge machine, and Lorenzo also sheds light on this machine, the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare (DMA), and he explains that the citizens never had to use this devastating weapon because the city was never attacked on a huge scale again. While Lorenzo fills in our heroes with this backstory, Ash notices a pretty girl wearing a white beret painting on a higher level, and it appears that it is the same girl as he saw before. He becomes intrigued by and recognizes her, walks forward about 10 steps and touches the DMA, much to Lorenzo's chagrin. He shouts at Ash not to touch it. Ash apologizes, while Pikachu, standing on Ash's left shoulder, is still looking at the girl. Ash is curious about this girl, and he tells Misty and Brock to meet him at the Pokémon Center, as he has something to do. Misty, Brock, and Lorenzo are all left standing there in total surprise.  

The scene cuts to the museum exterior, and Ash and Pikachu are running through a walkway and they stop abruptly. He looks around, and sees the girl again, her painting/drawing utensils and sketch board in hand. He and Pikachu run down some stairs, through a garden where we see the girl walking over the bridge we saw earlier in the canal race. Ash and Pikachu cross this bridge and follow the girl, while that same spy camera we saw earlier is honing Ash and Pikachu, all while the diabolical Annie and Oakley watch. We do not see them, only their shadows. Ash and Pikachu finally catch up with the girl, and Ash calls out to her, while she is on the other side of a waterway. He asks why she disappeared earlier like she did. The girl has no idea what he is talking about, and walks off. Ash shouts at her not to go, and runs after her. He crosses the bridge and runs into an alleyway. He is at a four-way intersection- and a revolving shot shows his situation- which way should he go? He walks ahead, walks and stops on a bridge (and we see some {{p|Murkrow}}), hesitates and runs forward again. He comes across another canal, where we see a few passing gondolas and a {{p|Yanma}} taking off. Ash realizes that they are lost, and that the city is like a maze. Pikachu shouts towards the bridge, Ash turns his head and sees the girl again. She runs off, Ash chases after her again and he follows her through a series of alleyways. He then gets to a pathway that leads through an archway with plants and vines covering it. He then gets to the end of the archway, and he sees 2 {{p|Pidgey}} drinking from a fountain, enjoying themselves. They notice Ash, and get back to their enjoyment. Ash then sees the mysterious girl at the end of a walkway, and she runs towards a wall, and runs through a mysterious portal in the wall. Ash is surprised. Pikachu then runs through the portal, and Ash follows Pikachu's example. He walks through a short, dark tunnel and then gets to the end of it. He sees Pikachu, and runs towards through 2 pillars and comes upon and is awed at the sight of the Secret Garden. It is a vast, sprawling place; with statues, grassy fields, ponds, fountains and large trees. It is home to {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Poliwag}} and other Pokémon. Ash and Pikachu walk down the stairs, and Ash wonders where he is and what the place is he is in. He then looks ahead, and sees the mysterious girl standing in front of a fountain, and she runs off. Ash and Pikachu follow her, and they see her on a swing next to a pond. They walk up to her and nearby stationary objects starts to spin ominously. Ash and Pikachu notices this. Then, all of a sudden, a winged, cloaked creature comes blasting out of a manmade pond and files at a very high speed and swoops dangerously close to Ash and Pikachu. It comes back again, Pikachu tries to hit it with an electric attack, but misses and the winged creature successfully hits Pikachu. Ash goes to check on Pikachu, but Pikachu gets up, it has taken little damage. And the creature comes back to strike Ash and Pikachu, but the girl runs in front of Ash and Pikachu, holds her arms out and the winged creature stops from a very high speed to a complete stop in virtually no time at all, and the creature uncloaks itself. Ash gets up, completely flabbergasted, while the girl still blocks Ash from any further harm. Then Ash immediately recongizes the blue and white creature as the legendary Pokémon [[Latios (movie 5)|Latios]]! Latios roars at the girl, telling her to move, but the girl shakes her head at Latios. Ash wonders why Latios is mad, and all of a sudden, another girl wearing a white beret who is exactly identical in appearance (minus the beret) towards the girl blocking Latios appears. She asks Ash how he got into the Secret Garden, and then accuses him of being a thief. Ash introduces himself, but this is not enough to convince the beret-wearing girl and she commands Latios to attack... when all of a sudden, Lorenzo appears. He stops the fighting, and tells the girl, who is his granddaughter, that Ash is telling the truth. She is still not convinced, but Lorenzo hushes her, and says to the girl without the beret "Latias, would you like you play with your new friend?" Ash is confused as to why Lorenzo is calling the girl "Latias", but nevertheless the girl nods, and she takes Ash's hand and runs over to the swing she was swinging on before. She seats Ash on the swing, and runs back and pushes off on the swing and stands on it while he sits on it. He says that Latias is a name of a Pokémon, and then, the girl transforms into a red and white colored creature that is none other than the legendary Pokémon Latias. Ash, shocked by this transformation, falls off the swing and faceplants on the ground. Latias flies over and helps Ash up, and he assures her that he is okay. Latias is happy, and flies quick circles around him. Lorenzo observes that Latias has taken a liking towards Ash. Pikachu agrees, and Latios appears, and Pikachu becomes scared of Latios, but it licks Pikachu, and Pikachu's fear is wiped clean by Latios's lick. A short montage of shots shows Pikachu climbing a tree and hopping onto Latias and hopping over to Latios from Latias. While the Pokémon play with each other, the beret-wearing girl introduces herself as [[Bianca]]. She apologizes for what happened before, and Lorenzo explains that their family has protected the Secret Garden for generations. Bianca also says that Latias likes to shapeshift into her, because they are best friends. Bianca also reveals that Latias and Latios are siblings- Latios is the older brother and Latias is the younger sister. Latias then flies towards Ash with Pikachu on her back and Pikachu jumps and lands on Ash. Latias the takes Ash's hat, and Ash chases after it and jumps up and tries to get the hat from Latias. He succeeds in doing so, and Latias tries to get the hat back. Then, Latios faces Latias and its eyes start to glow light blue, and Latias turns around, and its eyes start to glow a light blue as well. Latios roars, then gets into flying position by curdling its arms on its body. Latios flies straight into the pond, and then we see Latias come down to Ash, Bianca and Lorenzo's level, and the entire scenario appears to have changed- Ash, Bianca, Lorenzo and Latias are surrounded by a mystical light as the area they appear to be standing in is underwater, yet they are still standing stationary as before. As Ash and Pikachu try to figure out what is going on, they are in a tunnel and at the end of the tunnel is a bright light- they go through it, make a right turn, and then we see Latios do the same thing. Ash asks what is going on, and Bianca explains that Latias and Latios are showing them the underwater world, by telepathically projecting projecting what Latios is seeing, and Lorenzo says it is called "Sight Sharing". As Latios flies underwater through the canals, past a school of {{p|Remoraid}}. Bianca says that this rare privilege is Latios's way of showing that it likes it's new friends. As Latios goes through numerous turns, past a school of {{p|Chinchou}} and then past a group of {{p|Quagsire}}, Ash is awed at his experience of sight sharing.

The scene cuts back to the Secret Garden. Bianca tells Ash of the legend of Latias and Latios and how they saved the city that was explained in the previous backstory. After the Soul Dew resided on Alto Mare, Latias and Latios visited quite often. Ash figures that the current Latias and Latios' ancestors protected this island. Ash catches a glimpse of the DMA, and the tiles they are standing on is actually a diagram of how to use the DMA and the Soul Dew's true powers. They then walk up to a small body of water- and then what Ash, Pikachu, Bianca and Lorenzo see is a magnificent spherical orb with a transparent blue color and a bright light protruding from the center, and it is none other than the Soul Dew. Lorenzo explains that his ancestors created the DMA to release the immense power within the Soul Dew with the help of Latios. The Soul Dew also contains a deceased Latios. It was only done to protect the island. Lorenzo also explains that the location of the Soul Dew must be kept a secret from everyone. Latias then comes out of nowhere up behind Ash, and Latias picks Ash up and hangs him above the main fountain, drops him into the fountain, and just when he is about to fall in, the larger Latios swoops down and catches Ash on his back. Latios flies up back to Bianca and Lorenzo's level and Ash gets off Latios. Latias goes up to Ash and starts rubbing and hugging him intimately, as if she has a crush on Ash. Bianca explains that Latias wants to play with Ash some more, but Ash has to head back to the Pokémon Center to find Misty and Brock. He tells Latias that he will come back and play later with it. Lorenzo then asks Ash if he is ready to leave, and he says yes. Latias is saddened by Ash having to leave, and they exit, with Latias following Latios, as they fly off into the depths of the secret garden. As they fly together, Annie and Oakley's spy camera has been in the Secret Garden the whole time Ash was there...

The scene cuts to Lorenzo's gondola shed/workshop. It is now dusk. As they walk through the workshop, Lorenzo explains his occasional work as a tour guide in Alto Mare's canals and in the museum. He then asks Bianca to take Ash back to the Pokémon center.

The scene cuts to the Alto Mare canals, and we are treated to an incredible sight of Alto Mare at sunset. We then see a boat motoring past, and it is Bianca taking Ash and Pikachu back to the Pokémon center. Ash then asks if it was Bianca who was attacked by Annie and Oakley earlier, or Latias. Bianca does not know what he is talking about, so Ash then figures it must have been Latias who was attacked earlier. Bianca asks if Latias was attacked, and Ash tells her she was attacked by 2 women. Bianca starts to worry.  

The scene cuts to an alleyway, and it is now nighttime. We then see the villains Annie and Oakley hopping over rooftops and gaps. We then see Meowth, then Jessie and James. Meowth says that they have to follow them over those rooftops, and James remarks that he used to be a skilled gymnast. Jessie starts to become over confident and revs up James and Meowth. As Annie and Oakley are scaling rooftops, Jessie, James and Meowth are clumsily following them and as Annie and Oakley both jump over a wide gap, all three slip on an arched roof, (Jessie backflips, James and Meowth both go face first) wipe out, fall down and land on top of each other onto a suspended wall light below. They all say at the same time, "that was a close one." Then, to make matters worse for them, Wobbuffet appears and stands on top of James. The weight now is too much for the street light and it breaks, and all four fall to the ground.  

The scene cuts back to Lorenzo's workshop, and Lorenzo is hard at work. Then, an Espeon walks in to Lorenzo's workshop. Lorenzo sees Espeon, and asks it where it came from. Then suddenly, Espeon attacks Lorenzo and incapacitates and knocks him out with {{m|Psychic}}.  Annie and Oakley appear, and Annie then compliments her Espeon.  

The scene cuts back to the Secret Garden, where we see Latias and Latios sleeping next to each other. The revolving objects we saw earlier start to rotate again. Latios wakes up, notices this and gets up. We then see Annie and Oakley, who have entered the Secret Garden. Oakley. Latios charges at the 2 villains, and they dodge by cartwheeling. As the 2 women make time with classy banter, Latios continually charges at Annie, and then the 2 legendary Pokémon have disappeared through cloaking. Annie and Oakley are surprised by their abilities they did not know about before. Latios charges at Annie again, who somehow manages to dodge. Annie and Oakley then stand back-to-back and put on special glasses that allow them to see the near-invisible Latias and Latios. They see Latios, and Annie commands her Espeon to use {{m|Swift}}. Espeon lands a hit on Latios, but then Espeon is struck from the side by Latias. Oakley then commands her Ariados to use {{m|Night Shade}}, successfully hitting Latias, but then Latios flies in front the super-effective Ghost-type attack and takes the attack. Oakley then pulls out an electronic sticky net and throws it at Latios. The net wraps itself around Latios, shocks Latios, draining it of most of its energy, and the male Eon Pokémon comes crashing down onto the ground. Latias flies around getting ready to attack, but Annie commands her Espeon to use Psybeam and successfully hits Latias, sending it crashing down into a hill. Espeon is about to finish Latias with {{m|Tackle}}, but Latios in its near-incapacitated state slides across Espeon, stopping it from causing any further harm. Latias calls to Latios, but he shouts at her, presumably telling her to run and get out of the Secret Garden. Annie then commands her Espeon to use Psychic again and Oakley commands Ariados to use String Shot, both attacks on Latios. Both attacks hit Latios, but just as Latias is about to attack, Latios stops her, and shouts at her to run and get help. Latias reluctantly starts to escape, and Annie and Oakley chase after it, Latios shouts at it again to run, and Latias flies away from them- but Annie and Oakley both throw nets at Latias, but Latios jumos in front of the nets and saves Latias from being captured. Latias reluctantly escapes, through the fountain and the secret tunnel Latios used earlier. Annie and Oakley look over the balcony at the fountain through which Latias escaped, and they declare that one Eon Pokémon is enough. They then walk up to the Soul Dew, and Oakley intitially struggles to pull it out. But eventually she succeeds, and is awed at the sight of the marvelous jewel. Annie is anxious to see it, and she is even more hypnotized at the sight of the Soul Dew. She declares it to be the most beautiful jewel she has ever seen. Oakley calls Annie over, and they have discovered the diagram of how to use the DMA on the stone tile floor. She explains that if the Soul Dew were to be used for evil, the Soul Dew would be destroyed, and water from the ocean would swallow up Alto Mare. Oakley declares that she has solved the puzzle, and she will go ahead with their plan, thinking that the warnings about evil-doing with the DMA is just a joke. The last shot is a shot of the water ceasing to flow in the Secret Garden.

The scene cuts to a canal and a bridge, and Latias appears frantically out of the water and cloaks itself. The scene cuts back to the Secret Garden, where we see Bianca and Lorenzo running up to the body of water that contained the Soul Dew. They discover that it is missing, and Bianca figures that it is the work of the two women Ash told her about before. The scene then cuts to an exterior shot of the museum, and then inside of the museum, where Annie and Oakley are transporting the captured Latios to the DMA. Oakley's Ariados, who is carrying the unconscious Latios to the center certain spot with a circle with triangles surrounding the circle and 3 rings surrounding the spot. The circle glows light, and the 3 rings protrude up along with Latios. The rings start to spin in formation around Latios. Red creases in the floor start to illuminate. Then, the oddly-shaped pillars start to open up, then come down, unveiling exposing the DMA. The pillars start to disappear through the floor. Bianca and Lorenzo appear, and Lorenzo asks Annie and Oakley what they have done, and the sisters make time with classy banter, then Annie commands her Espeon to use Psychic on Bianca and Lorenzo, incapacitating them. As Annie waves "good night" to them, Oakley walks up to the DMA and goes to "test" it out. She places the Soul Dew in the receptor, and the DMA is now under control, much to Oakley's pleasure.

The scene cuts to the Pokémon Center where a cloaked Latios is looking for Ash, Misty and Brock's room. She finds it, and sees them through the opened doors. While Pikachu is sleeping next to Ash, it senses Latias's presence, wakes up, and in front of Pikachu's eyes, Latias transforms into Bianca. Ash is woken up by this, and at first he recongizes Latias as Bianca, and she runs up to Ash, visibly scared. Ash immediately figures out that it is actually Latias in human form, and he explains it to Misty and Brock. He tells Latias that it doesn't need to be afraid, these people are his friends. Bianca/Latias hangs her head, Misty waves awkwardly and Brock smiles towards Latias. Ash nods his head, and Latias stands up and transforms back into its normal self, much to the surprise and shock and Brock and Misty.

The scene cuts back to the museum, where Bianca and Lorenzo are tied up by Ariados's {{m|Spider Web}}. As they struggle, Bianca calls to Latios, telling him to wake up and snap out of his possession. Latios is asleep, but then wakes up. As the DMA is warming up, the main controls are presented with stairs appearing from the floor. Annie remarks that it looks uncomfortable to sit in. Latios attempts to break out, but is unsuccessful thanks to a force field set up around the rotating rings. It keeps trying, but to no avail, and it then uses its sight sharing power, where the scene transitions to Ash's Pokémon Center room, with Latias. Ash, Misty and Brock are immediately seeing what Latios is seeing, that is the DMA in action, Bianca and Lorenzo tied up. Misty and Brock are confused, but Ash fills them in on what is happening. They then see the Soul Dew being used. The scene then cuts back to the museum, where Oakley steps into the control unit, and Annie looks on at Oakley nervously. Lorenzo shouts at them not to use it, but Oakley has already started: she regenerates the fossilzed Kabutops and Aerodactyl through a transparent blue cloud of particles, and the 2 ancient Pokémon appear. Through dream projection, Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu witness all of this, and Lorenzo is confused as to what Oakley is up to. Oakley then commands Kabutops and Aerodactyl to find Latias and bring her back to the museum. Latios stops the sight sharing, and both Pokémon have lost energy from the sight sharing. The scene cuts back to the Pokémon center and Ash asks Latias if it is okay. Misty and Brock ask what is going on, and Ash replies that he doesn't know, but it's something bad. The scene cuts back to the museum, and Oakley, now completely obsessed with her powers, now declares "the city is all mine!"

The scene cuts to Jessie, James and Meowth, walking through an alleyway, wandering where they are. They realize that they need to get to a waterway. They do, and they run towards it. But Oakley now seals off the entire city with prison-like bars. Before they can get to the waterway, Jessie, James and Meowth are thwarted by the bars sealing off the alleyways. They attempt to escape, but the next intersection is also blocked off by appearing bars. A series of shots, including one of Oakley with the machine, show bars of all forms sealing off every passageway, every alleyway and every house in Alto Mare. Then, we cut back to the Pokémon Center, where Ash and Latias are witnessing the city lockdown. He then sees a few nearby balconies being locked down- and immediately, Ash, Pikachu and Latias jump off the balcony before they are trapped in the confined balcony. Misty and Brock, who are trapped in the balcony, are worried for Ash, but he surfaces from the water and tells them that he is going to the museum to rescue Latios, Bianca and Lorenzo, and he swims off down the canal. As more alleyways are being sealed off, Ash and Pikachu climb into a Venetian boat, and Ash grabs an oar in the back. He tells Latias that he is going to rescue her friends at the museum, and that he needs her to guide him there.  

The scene cuts back to the museum, where Latios is in considerable pain, and the red creases sap Latios's energy from it into the DMA. And as Oakley operates it, Bianca, Lorenzo and even Annie start to become nervous. The scene cuts to a canal and Ash rowing the boat while following Latias's lead. As he goes under a tunnel, the Aerodactyl swoops down right under Ash and grabs Latias with its feet. Ash drops the oar and jumps off the boat and grabs onto Aerodactyl's foot. Ash then commands Pikachu, who is standing on the tip of the boat to use Thunderbolt, which it does, and it squarely hits Aerodactyl, Latias and Ash, and all are clearly affected by the attack, as Aerodactyl drops Latias and Ash and is visibly shaken by the Thunderbolt. Ash surfaces, and Latias has become so affected by the commotion caused by Aerodactyl that it flies off in fear, cloaking itself. Aerodactyl swoops down and launches a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Ash and Pikachu, and the ferocious attack destroys the boat Ash was using. Pikachu manages to dodge the attack but the Hyper Beam grazes Ash, kicks up water, himself and he plunges in pain back into the water. Latias, hiding from Aerodactyl, uncloaks itself and dives into the water and saves the unconscious Ash. She picks him up and lifts him up to the surface. He is conscious, but coughing and spluttering while being held by Latias. Pikachu swims to them and Ash thanks Latias for saving him. As Latias slowly moves with Ash partially in the water, Ash sees Aerodactyl- and he knows he has to figure out a way to get away from Aerodactyl. Ash then catches a glimpse of 2 rafts. He tells Latias to stop, and he climbs up onto the dock where the 2 rafts are located. Then the scene cuts to Latias pulling Ash standing on his raft from the teather cord with a handle like his Totodile did earlier in the Tour de Alto Mare. They are going fast, but Aerodactyl is catching them. While Latias swiftly navigates sharp turns while going fast at the same time, Ash is barely holding on, and Aerodactyl is getting closer and closer- until Latias speeds up and suddenly makes a fast turn between a narrow canal between two close buildings, and Aerodactyl goes after them- but crashes into the 2 buildings. Ash and Pikachu are relieved and compliment Latias's quick thinking. Meanwhile, Misty and Brock are having trouble getting through the bars to seal off the buildings. Brock tries to open the bars using his own strength, but to no avail. They decide to help Ash, as he left all his Poké Balls behind. Brock sends out his {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and Misty sends out her {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} and Corsola. They tell them to go lend Ash a hand, and that they will meet up with them later. Crobat flies off, while Politoed and Corsola dive into the canal. Brock has lost his patience, and decides to climb the fence. We then cut back to the Ash and Latias chase, and while they are going, the Kabutops Oakley summoned has now caught up with them. It {{m|slash}}es at Ash and Latias is going fast, but Kabutops is able to match Latias's speed. It hops from object to object, boat to boat, dock to dock and scales a wall briefly. While Ash attempts to outrun Kabutops, he slides wide at a left turn and crashes into a concrete dock, Ash manages to hop off in the nick of time onto the dock where Kabutops's Slash attack misses him by inches. Pikachu has fallen into the water, and Kabutops is about to stab Ash with its sword-like claws- but then, Crobat Tackles Kabutops, and Politoed and Corsola finish off Kabutops with Water Gun and Bubblebeam, respectively.

The scene cuts back to the museum, where Latios is now taking damage from the energy used by the DMA and Oakley. She then pulls up a monitoring system on the DMA and sees Ash, Pikachu and Latias. Lorenzo shouts at Oakley and tells her that if the Soul Dew were to be used for evil, then it would become irreversibly broken. Oakley does not take him seriously, and she has now become consumed by the powers of the DMA. Annie starts to fear for Oakley, and Oakley then starts to manipulate the canal and ocean water with the DMA. Latios is being severely affected by this and the bright light protruding from the Soul Dew has ceased. We cut back to Ash, Pikachu and Latias, who are traveling quickly to the museum. Oakley then manipulates the water in such a way that it comes out of the ocean and appears to be in the shape of the bottom of a tree trunk. It moves towards the museum. Ash and Latias are shocked at the sight of this. They get to some stairs and Ash hops off the raft and runs towards the museum. Oakley manipulates the water and it comes down like a tsunami, then, it forms into lines around the tiles of which they are bound, and it forms a rectangle around Ash, Latias and Pikachu, and water rises up in front and behind them and then swirls down and comes crashing down on them, rising them and the water up and keeping them trapped in the water, attempting to drown Ash and Pikachu. Latias is also struggling- but all of a sudden, Latias activates a power that expels the water and destroys the screen on the control board, rendering the DMA useless. After using this tremendous power, Latias falls to the ground from a high height. Ash and Pikachu run over to Latias. Latias gets up, it is fine. After the DMA has been overwhelmed by Latias, the machine starts to go out of control, the Soul Dew is forever corrupted and Latios is suffering even more from the energy the red creases are sapping from it. Ash, Pikachu and Latias make it into the museum, and Annie sees them, and before she can order her Espeon to attack, Ash commands Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, and it lands a clean hit on Annie and Espeon, who are now incapacitated. Ash and Pikachu run off to help Bianca and Lorenzo, and he attempts to free Bianca first from the Spider Web, but to no avail. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|ThunderShock}} and it succeeds, the web comes off Bianca. Latias attempts to free Latios from the rings, and Lorenzo is now free as well. Lorenzo says that the machine is now out of control, and Annie starts to worry for Oakley, who is still in the rampaging machine, fearing for her life. While Latias attempts to free Latios from the rings and the DMA. Bianca says that if Latios is not freed from the machine, it is going to die. Ash orders a Thunderbolt from Pikachu, who hits the forcefield around the rings, and it returns the attack. Latias still can't penerate the forcefield, so Ash decides to run into the forcefield, with Pikachu. They do not succeed, and Latias uses its mysterious power again to breakthrough the forcefield, jamming the rings for just long enough, and Ash, Bianca and Lorenzo manage to pull Latios out of the rings, and Latios, Latias and the rotating rings all fall motionlessly to the ground, and the DMA finally shuts down. Latios is in bad shape, and Latias goes up to him and he wakes up, much to everyone's relief. Bianca hugs Latios, and Annie hops up to where Oakley is, who has one arm hanging out of the DMA. Oakley asks what happened, and Annie tells her that she got carried away. Misty and Brock then enter, happy that Ash is OK. Annie says that she will take the Soul Dew this, time, and Oakley is disappointed with what happened. Annie walks up to the corrupted Soul Dew, and she is disgusted by the colors of it- red, black and purple all swirling around. Annie reaches out for it- and Lorenzo shouts at her not to touch it- and when she does attempt to pick it up, it protrudes light, blows Annie back into the cockpit with Oakley and the Soul Dew explodes into a million red pieces. Then, red energy surrounds the DMA and it starts to operate again. The control panel shuts with Annie and Oakley inside and the protective pillars come up again. Lorenzo re-tells the legend of the Soul Dew, and water then starts to surround Alto Mare.

The scene cuts to Team Rocket who have finally managed to climb the bars, and they see the very fast current washing away boats and rafts. A montage of shots show boats and other objects being washed out to sea, and the water goes with it too. The entire ocean and the canals of Alto Mare have been completely drained. Latias and Latios fly over to the Sun Tower, and they begin circling it. They then face the ocean, and Latios is still not in good shape. Then, a giant tidal wave rises out of the ocean, destroying ruins. Lorenzo says at this point, the city will sink and be destroyed. Latias and Latios decide to take action: they both fly towards the tidal wave at high speed, much to the surprise and shock of Ash, Misty, Brock, Bianca and Lorenzo. They fly towards the tidal wave, and Latios emits a beam of energy from itself, and Latias does the same: their whole bodies glow white and they combine themselves together to form a ball of energy. The ball of energy gets larger and larger and starts to seperate the tidal wave, causing a better flow of water. The spherical beam of light, containing Latias, and a transparent, blue Latios. He extends its arm out to Latias, and then lets go. Latias starts to emit a blue light and starts to go away from her. As this happens, a blue wave of light forming into a single beam of light rockets up into the sky. Bianca wonders what just happened, and Misty points to the ocean. The ocean water is calmly filling up again along with the canals. We cut to Jessie, James and Meowth, who have gotten over the bars and to the canals. Once they stop to rest, Jessie wonders what is wrong with Alto Mare, and then the water is flowing back into the city washes them into the canal, and they are helpless in the fast current, and they get swept down Alto Mare's canals. A montage of shots then shows the lockdown bars finally disappearing. The Kabutops disintegrates into blue particles, and we then see the Aerodactyl while a resident comes out of his balcony. The Aerodactyl flies by the resident and it too disintegrates into blue particles. We then see the Kabutops particles going back to the fossil, while Annie and Oakley bicker while they are locked inside the DMA.

The scene cuts from black, and it is now sunrise. Ash, Misty, Brock, Bianca and Lorenzo call Latias while in a boat. Pikachu then sees something, and calls to Ash. Latias is on top of a {{p|Mantine}} escorted by two Chinchou. Latias is unconscious. Mantine brings Latias over to the boat, where Ash, Brock and Bianca pick up Latias and haul it into the boat. While Ash hangs onto Latias, she wakes up and is OK. Bianca then asks Latias where Latios is. Latias looks up to the sky. Then Bianca and Lorenzo figures out that the light before was Latios sacrificing itself to save the city. Everybody is saddened by this. Latias then activates her sight-sharing powers, and Latios, now in a spherical form, is above the [[Pokémon world]]. It starts to move farther away from the planet. They look on at their world, and Misty says that is very pretty. Then, the sight seeing is gone, as a light protrudes from the sphere as Latios is now reborn as a Soul Dew. The orb comes from the light and falls into Bianca's hands. Bianca holds the new Soul Dew closely while Ash holds Latias while it mourns the death of it's sibling.

The scene fades to the Secret Garden, and it is now morning. We see the main characters at the Soul Dew fountain, where Lorenzo places the new Soul Dew where the original one was. The water then starts to flow out of the fountain. Misty remarks that the light is warm, and Lorenzo says that it is the prettiest light in the world. Bianca says "Keep watching over us, will you, Latios?" Then, the fountains start to flow normally again. The scene then fades to 2 ringing church bells, then to a magnficent establishing shot of Alto Mare. The scene then fades to black.

The scene fades from black to Lorenzo outside his workshop. A boat comes up, and it stops. Ash waves to Lorenzo and thanks him for all his help. Lorenzo is surprised they are leaving already, so he calls Bianca down. He calls again, but no response. Then, we get a view of Bianca's room, and someone or something grabs a drawing off Bianca's sketchboard, and her beret is hanging on the wooden stand. Ash and his friends are about to leave Alto Mare, but Ash catches a glimpse of a girl running on a bridge, and identifies her as Bianca. He asks the driver to stop the boat, and they get to a wooden dock, where Ash gets off and Bianca runs off to him. She is holding a rolled up piece of paper, and she looks at him intimately. She gives him the drawing, and then plants a long kiss on his cheek. Misty is so shocked that she drops Togepi and stares at this happening almost unconsciously, and Brock is surprised enough he does a 360 and then stares off too. Bianca then runs off, without saying a word. Misty wonders if that was Bianca or Latias, and Brock is extremely jealous. Ash unrolls the paper and it is a sketch of him and Pikachu on his shoulder and he looks at it and smiles on a final note that ends the film.
