Ash brings out Aipom and Turtwig, and has them climb the tower with him. Aipom climbs the wall of the tower, while everyone else climbs the stairs to the top. The buildings surrounding the towers begin to disappear, as Palkia and Dialga keep on fighting each other. Dialga uses Draco Meteor, while Turtwig uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} and Aipom uses {{m|Swift}} to block the attack. Ash, Dawn, and the Pokémon continue climbing the stairs, as the park and much of the town continues to disappear. Brock goes into the pond to grab Darkrai, and along with Quagsire and Wooper, bring Darkrai out of the water. Alice checks on Darkrai, very similarly to how her grandmother checked on Darkrai a long time ago, as Darkrai remembers. Dialga and Palkia continue to clash, as Dialga misses with a Hyper Beam. Brock and Tonio notice that the town keeps on disappearing. Ash, Dawn, and their Pokémon continue going up the stairwell. Dawn brings out Buizel and Buneary to use Water Gun and Ice Beam to recreate steps for them to climb, after the other ones had disappeared already. Ash continues slowly up the ice-covered stairs as Pikachu tells Buneary that she did a good job and she blushes. The camera zooms out and shows how much the town is disappearing so far.

Meanwhile, Tangrowth uses Mega Drain, Torterra uses Seed Bomb, Infernape uses Flamethrower, Empoleon, Azurill, Marill, and Azumarill use Ice Beam, and Shinx and Luxio use Thunderbolt to try to stop the town from disappearing. Dialga uses Hyper Beam, while Palkia uses Protect to block. Palkia uses Aura Sphere, which hits Dialga. They clash against each other head on. Alice yells for them to please stop, as Darkrai remembers more of what Alicia said to it years ago. Dialga prepares to use Roar of Time, while Palkia prepares to use Spacial Rend to finish each other off. Tonio's computer shows that the attacks would have devastating results. Darkrai gets up out of the water while Sudowoodo tries to avoid the splash, and heads towards Dialga and Palkia. As Dialga uses Roar of Time and Palkia uses Spacial Rend, Darkrai gets in the middle of them and surrounds itself with a shadow orb to take the hits. The orb surrounds all three of the [[legendary Pokémon]] and traps them inside for the time being. The town continues to disappear, as the tower also starts to disappear even more. Ash looks on as Darkrai's orb continues to hold the Pokémon inside. Ash and Dawn continue up the stairs with their Pokémon. Inside the orb, Darkrai is looking exhausted while trying to keep it holding them inside. As Ash and Dawn continue up the stairs, Buneary uses Ice Beam to slow down the disappearing stairs.

The tower starts to really disappear, as Ash almost falls out of the tower and Dawn catches him, but they both fall out of the tower. Buizel uses Water Gun to send them to the top of another part of the building. The Pokémon continue up the stairs, as Ash and Dawn use another pathway to get to the music machine. Darkrai's orb starts shrinking, as Palkia and Dialga are able to get out of the orb. Ash and Dawn look out the window and notice the orb shrinking. The orb eventually completely disappears as Darkrai looks really hurt. Dialga uses Hyper Beam and Palkia uses Aura Sphere to hit Darkrai hard as it floats up into the air and disappears. Ash and Dawn continue running to the music machine, and finally reach it, as the Pokémon also reach the top as well. Piplup shows exhaustion after running around so much. Dawn pushes on a switch and pulls a disk out of the machine. Ash tries to replace it with the one they need, but it won't fit in the slot. Dialga and Palkia continue fighting as they prepare to use Roar of Time and Spacial Rend one last time. Tonio says to everyone that if those two attacks connect, the dimension will be completely destroyed.

With the exception of the first movie (which was released more than two years after [[Generation I]] had debuted), no Pokémon were introduced in any of these three movies that could not be found in the games of the respective generation. Counting the corresponding Pikachu shorts, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' had 22 debuts (of which 3 were [[Generation II]] Pokémon), ''Spell of the Unown'' had 16 and ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'' had 14, or 15 if including {{p|Groudon}} as having a live debut. This movie had 18 debuts within itself, or 20 if considering {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s appearances as their live debuts.
