Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai

Pikachu!

Mew!

Mew!

The awe-inspiring, mysterious and powerful world of Pokémon,

in all of its many shapes and forms.

A wealth of creatures that grace every nook and cranny

of our beautiful planet

in numbers that may never be truly known in their entirety.

Ent!

Bi!

Some, masters of the heavens above,

caretakers and helpmates of the earth below,

watchful eyes and ears throughout recorded history

and beyond!

Living shoulder to shoulder with people,

while others live solitary lives in their natural environment.

Jirachi!

And then, there are Pokémon who form vast communities,

all expressing life in their own unique way.

¶

Setting off larger than life,

breathtaking forms with equal majesty in miniature,

the world of Pokémon truly is a world of wonder! Mana!

Mew!

Ho-Oh!

Capturing the fantasy of many, including a certain young man

who, along with his partner Pikachu,

is battling his way to attain the title of Pokémon Master,

a journey of adventure, hard work and training,

shared with friends.

With new friends around every corner

and new experiences at every turn.

Case in point, the newest adventure,

dead ahead!

The space-time rift, and there, a reality exposed,

heretofore unheard of!

Poised to redefine the undiscovered,

and the mysterious.

¶

"Two entities that never should have met

"cross paths in the space-time rift.

"This ill-fated meeting has brought forth

"their unbridled wrath, enveloping the city.

"And as a result, all is collapsing.

What could be the true meaning of this horrible nightmare?"

Godey's diary, huh?

Wow, what an interesting find!

¶

It appears our heroes have found themselves a beautiful day

on which to continue their journey!

Ash's quest for Pokémon mastership

is shared with Pikachu, Dawn and Brock,

while all quest for excitement.

And the next site of both quests

is the Pokémon Contest located in Alamos Town.

Shouldn't we have gotten there by now?

Almost.

And there it is!

Alamos Town, right over that hill!

Pika!

I'll bet you, as soon as we get there,

we'll find some great battles! Pikachu!

I've got to get ready for the Contest.

So many dresses to wear and so little time!

Hold on!

Pika?

Looks like we're on the wrong shore!

Huh?

Pika!

And I'm exhausted.

Me too! Pikachu!

Would you all like a lift?

Huh?

Pika!

Hi there! Chimchar!

Pel! Pelipper!

We can't thank you enough for your kindness!

So, my name, dear, is Brock.

Would you honor us by telling your name?

My name's Alice.

So it's Alice from Alamos Town!

I can't believe I don't have you written down

in my little blue book of babes.

Silly me!

Ahh, I'm such a dummy!

Huh?

There's only one thing to do.

Let me take you out!

After... Croagunk takes me out!

Pikachu!

Now, my name's Dawn.

I'm entering the Alamos Town Pokémon Contest.

Hi, I'm Ash.

And this is my partner, Pikachu.

Pikachu!

Char!

Awesome, we're really moving! Pika!

What a pretty lake!

Yeah?

Not as pretty as Alice!

You're quick. He's used to it.

Pika!

Well, I work part-time as a hot air balloon tour guide,

but I also spend most of my time as a music student!

Huh?

Leaf whistle?

Pika?

Peli!

Pelipper! Peli!

Pidgeot!

Pidgeot, Pidgeot!

¶

Pelipp!

You see, the Pokémon are showing me

which way the wind's blowing.

Okay, Chimchar. Chimchar!

Char!

Pika!

Chim, Chimchar! Chim!

Pikachu!

Say, this balloon thing is catching on!

Like we're gonna catch Pikachu!

Loon!

More balloons?

Three Drifloon and a Drifblim.

Oh, they're so round and cute!

Say, I think they want us to take them for a walk.

Come to Jessie!

Will you please stop playing hard to get?

What did I do?

Same thing you always do.

Okay now, a little humor will go a long way

to stop that swelling!

Wobbuff!

They busted us with Gust!

We're blasting off again!

Wobbuffet!

Look at those towers!

The Space-Time Towers.

Here, listen to this.

The brilliant architect Godey

designed the Space-Time Towers 100 years ago.

And that's where we hold our Pokémon contests, Dawn.

Oh, wow!

100 years?

That's like ten years times... Times ten.

You're right! Pika, Pika.

Let's see.

It explains why they're called Space-Time.

The tower on the right represents time,

and the one on the left represents space.

Hey, I could've told you that!

Pi?

Pika!

Pidgeot! Pidgeot!

Powerful forces colliding with each other.

Something big's going on.

Is everybody okay?

Yeah. Pika!

What was that?

I suppose it could've been the air currents.

But it sure was strange..

Sorry if you guys got scared!

I know what, I'll give you the grand tour!

Deal! That'd be great!

Pika!
