The screen moves towards [[Ash's Pikachu]], who starts running, powers up an {{m|Electro Ball}}, and then fires it — at a {{p|Throh}} in ''White—Victini and Zekrom'', or a {{p|Sawk}} in ''Black—Victini and Reshiram''. Pikachu then runs to Ash. The trio reaches a fork in the road; {{an|Cilan}} looks at his map and tells the group to go left in Black—Victini and Reshiram, or right in White—Victini and Zekrom. | ||

Damon comes upon a young {{p|Blitzle}} with an injured leg, and he calls upon his {{p|Reuniclus}}'s {{m|Psychic}} to help him carry the injured Blitzle on his shoulder. Damon, Reinculus, and Blitzle turn to walk back to a small village to find Blitzle's owner, a little girl named [[Luisa]]. Luisa's father thanks Damon for helping, but tells him to go home and that his plans are useless. Damon then tells the man that [[Eindoak Town]] can be revived, but he is again rebuffed. | ||
At that moment, a | At that moment, a dust devil appears in the desert, and heads towards the village. A herd of {{p|Bouffalant}} are startled by this, and they begin to stampede towards the village. Damon goes to check out the disaster and holds up his hand, cuing the appearance of {{OBP|Reshiram|movie 14}}. Damon then climbs on Reshiram's back and orders it to destroy the dust devil, which it does with power and ease. Damon then asks the townspeople, who are shocked by the [[legendary Pokémon]]'s appearance, to give him another chance. | ||

He discusses the matter of the [[Kingdom of the Vale]]'s revival with a resident there, but is again dismissed. He refuses to leave, asking to see [[Glacine]], the village's chief. She and her son [[Luis]] are on a cliff working to find herbs with his {{p|Lillipup}}'s help. Below, on an ice shelf, a group of {{p|Beartic}} become agitated when a giant iceberg collides with the ice. The cliff fractures, causing Luis to fall; then, as his mother and the first resident are trying to rescue him, the ice they are standing upon breaks off, stranding all of them in the path of the iceberg. Damon's Gothitelle saves Luis's Lillipup from falling into the water, and then Damon himself appears with {{OBP|Zekrom|movie 14}} to destroy the iceberg. Damon and Zekrom reiterate their proposal, and, awed by the display, Glacine and her village reconsider. | ||
Near Eindoak Town, Ash, {{an|Iris}} and Cilan find a pair of {{p|Deerling}} in danger on a cliff face. Ash attempts to rescue them but begins to fall himself; however, he is rescued when {{OBP|Victini|movie 14}} touches his foot out of his sight, giving him the ability to jump hundreds of feet across the canyon. Now separated from his stunned friends, Ash agrees to meet Iris and Cilan later and heads into a cave with the two Deerling. Victini | Near Eindoak Town, Ash, {{an|Iris}} and Cilan find a pair of {{p|Deerling}} in danger on a cliff face. Ash attempts to rescue them but begins to fall himself; however, he is rescued when {{OBP|Victini|movie 14}} touches his foot out of his sight, giving him the ability to jump hundreds of feet across the canyon. Now separated from his stunned friends, Ash agrees to meet Iris and Cilan later and heads into a cave with the two Deerling. Victini shows Ash visions of the path he should take, allowing him to find his way through the cave. He reaches a giant cavern with a mesh of crystal paths, and Ash's presence mysteriously activates an orb and the crystals, before he is guided again to the cellar of Eindoak Town's castle and up to its balcony. There, he reunites with his friends. Cilan explains that the castle is known as the "Sword of the Vale" (''Earth's Sword'' in Japanese), and is said in legend to have flown to its current location from a valley far away. While exploring the castle, Ash, Iris and Cilan share some macarons among themselves, but an invisible Victini keeps stealing Ash's macarons, much to his disbelief. The group hears fireworks outside, which causes Victini to choke on a macaron as the group realizes they must hurry to the town's battle tournament. In the ruckus, Ash runs into the invisible Victini — this confuses him for a moment, but he brushes it off. The group encounters a relatively plain-clothed Damon, who introduces himself as the castle's caretaker and offers to escort them to the town, which they accept. | ||
In the town square, the group meets a woman named [[Juanita]], who runs a souvenir stand with her {{p|Golurk}} (which is {{Shiny}} in ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'') The town's mayor, [[Mannes]], gives a speech to the townspeople congratulating them for the bountiful harvest they have collected | In the town square, the group meets a woman named [[Juanita]], who runs a Victini-themed souvenir stand with her {{p|Golurk}} (which is {{Shiny}} in ''Black—Victini and Reshiram''). The town's mayor, [[Mannes]], gives a speech to the townspeople congratulating them for the bountiful harvest they have collected. Mannes sends his {{p|Klink}}, {{p|Klang}} and {{p|Klinklang}} into a large music machine, starting the festival. He explains the tournament's rules: each competitor has been given a necklace and must challenge other competitors throughout the town, with losing trainers surrendering their necklaces until the winner emerges. | ||
In the first round of the | In the first round of the tournament, Ash faces {{mov|Mako}} and her {{p|Serperior}}, which he defeats with Pikachu's {{m|Electro Ball}}. Iris battles a trainer named [[Tatsuki]] and his {{p|Emboar}} with her {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}, but Emolga uses {{m|Volt Switch}}, forcing {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to come out in its place, against the rules; the referee promptly awards the match to Tatsuki. Juanita's daughter, [[Carlita]], and her {{p|Hydreigon}} ({{Shiny}} in ''White—Victini and Zekrom'') quickly dispatches of [[Cilan's Pansage]]. Ash and {{AP|Oshawott}} later battle Tatsuki and defeat Emboar with {{m|Aqua Jet}}. Ash sends {{AP|Tepig}} to face [[Leeku]] and his {{p|Samurott}}, and Samurott's {{m|Razor Shell}} effortlessly smashes Tepig into Juanita's stand of Victini trinkets. However, Victini covertly appears and powers up Tepig, allowing it to defeat Samurott with an absurdly powerful {{m|Ember}}. Carlita witnesses this, and, becoming suspicious, challenges Ash. When Ash's {{AP|Scraggy}} attempts to {{m|Headbutt}} Hydreigon, it is knocked into the trees. Carlita sees Victini give Scraggy a powerup, after which Scraggy quickly defeats Hydreigon with a second Headbutt. Carlita surrenders her necklace to the judge, and then confronts Ash, informing the group of Victini's role. | ||
Suspicious that Victini was the one who stole the macarons, Ash uses one to bait it out. It appears, and Ash excitedly tries to befriend it. | Suspicious that Victini was the one who stole the macarons, Ash uses one to bait it out. It appears, and Ash excitedly tries to befriend it. Victini is initially receptive and playful, but becomes alarmed as Ash swings it around enthusiastically, leaving the Pokémon of the group to coax Victini back to them. As the party travels through town, Victini hesitates in the shadow of giant pillars. Ash tries to force Victini forward, but Victini gets clobbered by a magical barrier around the castle area, delineated by the pillars and preventing Victini's escape. Upset, Victini flees back towards the castle. Later, while looking for Victini with Juanita and Carlita, they run into Mannes and Damon. It is revealed that Damon is Juanita's son and Carlita's older brother. He has been traveling and has not contacted Juanita in some time, which she reprimands him for. Carlita attempts to cheer him by telling him about Victini's appearance, but he says he already knew. | ||
At Mannes's home, Victini is found in a group of other Pokémon. Inside the house, Mannes tells the group the legend of the People of the Earth - one thousand years ago, they were a prosperous people who lived in a place called the Kingdom of the Vale, the location in the valley where the Earth's Sword originally was. They used a power in the earth called the "Dragon Force" to enrich the land, and all was well. However, one day, the twin sons of the [[King of the People of the Vale|king]]—the Hero of Truth, who controlled Reshiram, and the Hero of Ideals, who controlled Zekrom - began a war over their beliefs. The kingdom was devastated, and the Dragon Force corrupted and reversed, ravaging the earth instead of healing it. Desperate, the king asked Victini to lend him its power, and he created the "Protecting Pillars" and their barrier to control the flow of that power. Using this system, the king flew the Earth's Sword with all of the townspeople inside out of the Kingdom of the Vale to the location where Eindoak Town is, as by landing it there, the castle stopped up the flow of the Dragon Force. However, as soon as the castle landed, the king died, causing the Protecting Pillars to never be destroyed. Meanwhile, Reshiram and Zekrom, tired out from their battle, turned into orbs called "Dragon Stones" and were hidden deep underneath the castle by the two princes. | At Mannes's home, Victini is found in a group of other Pokémon.
