Ash and Pikachu are facing a Trainer and his Cubone in a battle at a stadium, with both Trainers being down to their last Pokémon. The match is unexpectedly interrupted by the appearance of a Celebi, and after a bright flash, Ash and Pikachu find themselves in the future, where the stadium is overgrown by trees. They see Celebi and follow it through an abandoned settlement and grasslands filled with crystallized Pokémon statues. Ultimately, their chase leads them to a mysterious shrine in a cave, where Dialga suddenly appears before them and roars.
