A young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named [[Sam]] is traveling through the woods. A young woman named [[Towa]] gives Sam a piece of bread and a warning that there is a rare and powerful Pokémon living in the forest. Sam thanks her for the bread and continues into the deep woods, where he begins sketching some {{p|Bellossom}}, unaware that elsewhere in the same forest, a {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} is being chased down by a {{OBP|Pokémon poacher|M04}} who wishes to capture it using his {{p|Scyther}} and his {{p|Houndoom}}. Celebi, the poacher, and Sam soon come in contact with one another, and Sam protects the Celebi from the man, who reveals himself to be a poacher of rare Pokémon. Celebi is still worried and in pain, however, and transports both itself and Sam into the future.

Celebi, the poacher, and Sam soon come in contact with one another, and Sam protects the Celebi from the man, who reveals himself to be a poacher of rare Pokémon. Celebi is still worried and in pain, however, and transports both itself and Sam into the future.


Forty years later, in a caravan by the forest, the same Pokémon poacher, now aged, is being interrogated by the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], a member of [[Team Rocket]], who wants to know where he saw Celebi. The poacher refuses, and therefore the Iron-Masked Marauder demonstrates a [[Dark Ball]], using it on one of the Pokémon the poacher has caged up, a {{p|Tyranitar}}. Using the now {{TCG|Dark Pokémon|Dark}} Tyranitar's {{m|Hyper Beam}}, the Iron-Masked Marauder destroys the ranch, and the cages, of the poacher. Finally convinced of the Rocket member's power, the poacher agrees to tell him everything he knows about Celebi.

Finally convinced of the Rocket member's power, the poacher agrees to show him where he encountered Celebi.


At the same time, in a nearby town, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} are waiting for {{Ash}} to arrive at the dock of one of the many ferries they've taken across the waterways of the regions. Brock sends out his {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} to find Ash and tell him that it's just about time for them to leave, just as Ash starts a [[Pokémon battle]] with another Trainer named [[Dundee]], using his {{AP|Pikachu}} against Dundee's {{p|Croconaw}}. Pikachu defeats Croconaw easily, just as Crobat shows up, and Ash and Pikachu make a run for the dock, arriving just in time to see the ferry begin to pull away. Ash runs for a dock nearer to where the ferry is, jumping for it and being caught by [[Mr. White]], the boat's owner. After Ash has been dragged on board, the Trainers and the owner talk about Pokémon, until Pikachu spots another Pokémon in the forest. As soon as they arrive at their next destination, Ash makes a call to {{an|Professor Oak}}, who explains to them from Ash's description that it was the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Suicune}}. From the description Professor Oak gives the young Trainers, it seems that Oak himself knows more about Suicune specifically than the experts, leading Ash to ask if he ever has seen one. The Professor replies affirmatively, and Ash asks where he did. Before Oak can reply, the ferry's owner calls for Ash, telling him that they must leave. Ash says goodbye quickly and goes with him. At his lab, Professor Oak wonders if he should've told Ash something before he hung up.

Soon, traveling in the forest, the four see the destruction wreaked by the Iron-Masked Marauder's giant mech, and Sam and Ash find where Celebi is hiding. However, the {{pkmn|category|Time Travel Pokémon}} appears not to want their help, sending out vines to get them away. Pikachu, taking Celebi's defensiveness for hostility, prepares to {{m|Thunder Shock}} it, but Sam prevents it from doing so, and explains that the Pokémon is only scared. Soon, Ash and Sam are able to, together, soothe Celebi and bring it with them. Team Rocket, not yet having given up, are waiting for them, and block their path back. Saying their {{motto}}, as they always do, causes {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to fall onto the already-unstable branch they stand on, though, and causes it to break, sending them to the ground, and allowing the four Trainers to continue, unconcerned by that bumbling trio's appearance.

Just as Ash are getting closer to Arborville, the Iron-Masked Marauder attacks, sending out his Dark Tyranitar against the Trainers. Using its Hyper Beam again, he very nearly hits them, however, they are able to escape, partly due to the intervention of {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|Smokescreen}}, the trio thinking he's trying to steak "their" Pikachu. However, upon recognizing the Iron-Masked Marauder as a member of their own organization, the Team Rocket trio quickly apologizes, and the Iron-Masked Marauder sends out a Dark {{p|Scizor}} and a Dark {{p|Sneasel}} to chase after the children.

Misty causes the group to stop due to twisting her knee, and both of the Dark Pokémon catch up. Ash prepares to battle, taking out one of his {{i|Poké Ball}}s, and Sam does as well. Sam's [[Poké Ball]] is different, though; instead of being a red-and-white color like Ash's, it has a grayish color to it and must be unscrewed on the top before sending out his Pokémon of choice, a {{p|Charmeleon}}. Ash, now over the surprise of Sam's strange Poké Ball, throws his own, sending out {{AP|Bayleef}}. Bayleef takes on Scizor, whose {{m|Double Team}} proves troublesome, until Bayleef manages to locate the real one and swiftly defeats it. Charmeleon, meanwhile, fares well against Sneasel before defeating it with a {{m|Headbutt}}. The group leaves the two Dark Pokémon tied up to rocks, though the Iron-Masked Marauder merely chuckles when he and the Team Rocket trio find them, saying that the children's resistance is making things interesting.

Ash and the group continue in the forest, which grows foggy. Leading them through are several {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, who bring them to a lake, called the [[Lake of Life]]. Sam brings Celebi in, and it dives underwater, using {{m|Recover}}. Now fully healed, the Pokémon plays with the group a bit, and Ash turns his hat backward and jumps in, followed by Sam. The three of them swim for a bit, then fly through the air with the help of Celebi's {{t|Psychic}} powers. Celebi soon leads all four of them to a berry tree, and everything seems well for the time being as they enjoy the berries.

*** A special edition of the movie including these additional scenes voiced in Japanese was broadcast on TV Tokyo on March 25th, 2003. However, this version has a few key differences. Firstly, none of the background music created for the English dub of these scenes is played, with the soundtrack simply being silent instead. Secondly, the scene where Ash first calls Professor Oak is identical to the original version with the exception of the added cut to Professor Oak's Laboratory. Lastly, the scene from the original version of Sam returning to his time period is still included, playing directly before Ash's second call to Professor Oak.

* The dub features the prologue (entitled "Ash's Journey") originally made for ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]''. The dub version was also released in America as a special feature on the ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' DVD, even before ''Pokémon Heroes'' was released in Japan.

* In the original Japanese version, "40 years later" is displayed when the movie returns to present day. This text is removed in the English dub.
* In the dub, it's implied that the hunter lives in the same forest where Celebi appeared and the Iron-Masked Marauder wants to know where exactly in the forest he saw Celebi. This is not the case in the original Japanese version, where the Marauder instead questions the hunter in order to learn the location of the forest.
* The Iron-Masked Marauder never calls {{p|Tyranitar}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} by name in the original version.
* The {{p|Croconaw}} Trainer is unnamed and has no lines in the Japanese version. However, in the dub, he is given the name [[Dundee]] and is heard introducing himself to Ash and sending out Croconaw.

** Dundee's Australian accent ensures that this is a reference to the 1986 action-comedy film ''{{wp|Crocodile Dundee}}''.

* Iron-Masked Marauder never calls {{p|Tyranitar}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} by name in the original version.
* The Team Rocket trio explicitly refers to the Iron-Masked Marauder as a {{tc|Executive|Team Rocket Executive}} in the original version. No mention of his rank is made in the dub.
* When the Iron-Masked Marauder catches Celebi, in the dub, he says "[[Dark Ball]], go!" In the Japanese version, he simply grunts upon throwing the ball.
* As Celebi starts forming a ball of forest materials around itself and Jessie gets sucked into it, the dub has James making a comment about Celebi building "a nasty nest", while Jessie simply screams. In the Japanese version, James remarks that this looks like overkill, while Jessie cries out, "I'm alone, and this feels bad", a variation of Team Rocket's Japanese blast-off phrase.
* The Marauder makes no expression about wanting to rule Team Rocket in the Japanese version; in fact, he specifically mentions that since he now owns Celebi, he won't be tied down to Team Rocket anymore, and only he can rule the world.
* When {{an|Brock}} says that it looks like Ash evolved into a {{p|Primeape}}, the Swedish and Portuguese dub mistook it for {{wp|primate}} and erroneously translated it, thus making a reference to the real world.

* In the Swedish subtitles, {{p|Teddiursa}} is subbed as Pappa Ursa, as if he says "Daddy Ursa" instead of Teddiursa.
