<i>Ash is ready for his next badge—which means heading to Mossdeep City. To get there, Ash and friends will need to take the ferry in Lilycove City. On their way there, the kids encounter a Trainer named Elijah and his Camerupt, stuck in a river. They help get Camerupt out, and Elijah explains that he travels around, showing movies to the small towns in the area.

Meanwhile, Ash is being shadowed by {{TRT}}, who are looking to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} as usual. {{MTR}}, meanwhile, notices from up high that Camerupt is carrying movie equipment. For extremely dubious reasons, Meowth decides that Camerupt and the theater system would be perfect gifts for {{an|Giovanni}}. [[James]] and [[Jessie]] are less certain, but decide to go ahead with the scheme anyway. Team Rocket ambushes Ash and friends with a classic pitfall trap at the next river crossing. After cutting the {{motto}} short, they steal Camerupt and prepare to make their getaway. Ash is quick to call out his {{AP|Corphish}}, which promptly frees Camerupt and sends Team Rocket blasting off with a {{m|BubbleBeam}}. With Team Rocket now temporarily indisposed, the group continues to a dangerous mountain path. While fantasizing about "{{an|May}}'s Expedition", May herself nearly gets flattened by a boulder, which then blocks the narrow road. Unable to advance, the party camps for the night.

The movie starts later that night, with Elijah narrating (the movie is a slapstick comedy about the kidnap and rescue of a {{p|Kirlia}} princess). However, the movie is cut short by the intervention of Team Rocket, who appear from behind the screen, once again bent on stealing the movie equipment. Jessie calls out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} to use {{m|Haze}} and in the subsequent confusion steal the projector. Leaving Brock and {{p|Lombre}} to entertain the crowd, Ash, May, Max, and Elijah dart off to find Team Rocket. Finding a trail of film that Team Rocket dropped, they soon trace Team Rocket. {{AP|Grovyle}} quickly sends Team Rocket flying and gets back the projector, and relieves Brock (who's been singing the only song he knows over and over again). The show goes on (and it's revealed Pikachu is a star), with even Team Rocket sneaking in to watch!

[[File:Pokémon Pocket Monsters anime.png|200px|thumb|right|{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, [[Red's Clefairy|his Clefairy]], and [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|his Pikachu]] appearing in one of {{Ash}}'s favorite films]]  

* This episode features a brief appearance of characters from the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga series, which is the only time characters from a manga series have appeared in the anime.

* The movie May described, about a luxurious spaceship with a Natu and Xatu in love who are separated because of an ice asteroid, is a parody of the movie ''{{wp|Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic}}'' while the ship as displayed in the film is similar in design to the titular spaceship from ''{{wp|Space Battleship Yamato}}''.

* The movie Max described, about a giant {{p|Meowth}} destroying a city and battling against {{p|Pichu}} fighter pilots and a giant {{p|Marshtomp}} is based upon the Japanese television show {{wp|Ultraman}}.

* In Ash's flashback, {{Gary}}, [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]], and {{an|Professor Oak}} are visible in the audience. This marks Gary's first appearance in the Hoenn saga.

* The [[Pichu Brothers]] make a cameo appearance in a flashback showing a scene from ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''.

===Errors===

* The {{p|Azumarill}} in the last movie that Brock saw had the voice of an {{p|Azurill}}.
