Summary

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

A giant meteorite from space strikes in the Arctic. Arising from the crash-site is a Pokémon known as Deoxys. Feeling threatened, Rayquaza starts to attack the Pokémon while it was trying to revive a stone. The fight ends, however, when Rayquaza fires a point blank range Hyper Beam, vaporizing Deoxys except for its crystal core, which fell deep into the waters. The research team led by Professor Lund, whose camp was in the middle of the battle, takes the stone Deoxys was holding, and bring it with them on their return to LaRousse City.

Four years later, Ash and his friends arrive at LaRousse City, intent on battling in the city's famed Battle Tower. There, they run into Tory Lund, the son of Professor Lund, who became afraid of Pokémon after being caught in the middle of a Walrein and Sealeo stampede caused by the meteor strike four years ago. Ash attempts to help Tory get over his fear, but their main priority becomes survival when both Deoxys and Rayquaza come to LaRousse as well.
