Karl first appears to {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Dawn}} during the evacuation of [[Crown City]] caused by {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}}'s rampage. Overhearing their conversation with {{OBP|Zorua|M13}} regarding [[Grings Kodai]]'s motives, he introduces himself as a journalist from Crown City currently investigating Kodai. He teams up with Ash's group, helping them infiltrate Crown City in disobedience of the evacuation orders given by [[Officer Jenny]] because of Kodai's manipulation. In the underground tunnels, Karl explains Kodai's background, admitting that he does not know the businessman's reason for using Zoroark but certain that it is a sinister one.

The group splits up; while Ash, Brock, Dawn, Zorua and Celebi head for the stadium with Karl's {{p|Bronzor}}'s help, Karl, Rowena, Joe and Tammy find [[Legendary beasts (M13)|Raikou, Entei and Suicune]] attacking Zoroark. Zoroark counterattacks against them by creating an illusion of crystals to engulf them, so Rowena uses her Illusion Canceler in tandem with Joe's {{p|Mightyena}}'s {{m|Odor Sleuth}} to dispel the illusion. With the help of the city's Pokémon, the misunderstanding between the Legendary Beasts and Zoroark is resolved.

Later, Zoroark attempts to attack Kodai in the stadium as he holds Ash, Pikachu and Celebi prisoner before the Time Ripple. Kodai stops her by showing that he does have Zorua captured and is more than willing to harm him; Zoroark stands down and is viciously beaten by Kodai's {{p|Shuppet}}. With all his enemies defeated, Kodai uses his robotic claw to absorb the Time Ripple, and as the plant life of Crown City is ravaged all over again, he boasts of how he does not care about the consequences of his actions as long as his ability to see the future remains, and that nobody will ever know the truth about his deeds that day. However, the Time Ripple he actually absorbed was one of Zoroark's illusions, and as he tries to sort out what happened, Karl and Rowena emerge, with Karl having filmed all of Kodai's confession. That tape later provides the final key to Kodai's downfall when it is played throughout Crown City, revealing to all the true face of the man they trusted.

In the end, Karl travels with Rowena on a ship to escort Zorua and Zoroark back to [[Unova]]. During the film's credits, they see Raikou, Entei and Suicune on a cliff, and Karl films them. His video of Kodai's confession goes on to be used in the national news coverage of Kodai's arrest.
