Pokémon Heroes (劇場版ポケットモンスター 水の都の護神 ラティアスとラティオス)

Pocket Monsters, Pokémon for short.

They are the most mysterious creatures on this planet.

In the oceans, the forests, and in the cities.

There might be...

100?

200?

300?

No, maybe even more species than that.

And this boy loves all of these Pokémon.

He is Satoshi from Masara Town.

He received his first Pokémon Pikachu, from Professor Okido.

The two left Masara Town behind and embarked on a journey...

...of battling and getting, learning to be a Pokémon Trainer.

Overcoming obstacles and striving to become...

...the champion of the Pokémon League...

...to become the greatest Pokémon Master,

he encountered and parted ways many times over.

The journey of Satoshi and his friends continues even today...

And continues... and continues.

Once upon a time, on the island of Alto Mare, there lived an old man and women.

One day, by the seashore, the couple found two children who were injured.

By the gentle and skilled hands of the old man and woman...

the children became healthy again.

But all of a sudden, an evil monster began to attack the island.

The island was almost completely consumed by the monster.

Just then...

Before the old man and woman's eyes, the two children began to transform.

They were the Infinite Pokémon, Latios and Latias.

They called their friends down from the sky.

They brought with them the power to turn back the evil darkness.

It was a jewel called the Heart Drop.

Peace returned to the city.

Afterward, on this island where the Heart Drop resides...

Latios and Latias began visiting quite often.

From that day forward, the island was never attacked by the evil monster again.

Hold on a sec.

Someone's coming.

Somebody there? Who's there?

What in the...

Here.

So, tell me what the last chapter's about, Oakley.

It tells all about how to operate a machine,

something called the defense mechanism of Altomare.

It's amazing.

According to that book, it's the most powerful weapon ever built.

I'm not really interested in that.

I care much more about that beautiful jewel.

It turns out you have to use the Soul Dew to power it.

Why do they call it the Soul Dew?

They say it contains the soul of a Latios,

and it looks like a giant dewdrop.

Speaking of Latios, we have to remember to capture those Pokémon for Giovanni.

Right.

- There it is. - Looks nice.

- And so peaceful. - Not for long.

Pokémon

The leaders are approaching their final turn

and heading for the homestretch.

It's no surprise that last year's champion, Ross, and his Wailmer are in the lead.

But newcomer Misty and her Corsola

are not gonna make it easy for 'em.

These two are neck and neck, folks.

- Go, Misty! Yeah! - Come on!

Pika-pika!

Wait, it looks like Ash Ketchum and his Totodile were just shot out of a cannon.

What in the world's gotten into you, Totodile?

Ash has taken the lead, coming into the homestretch.

Oh! Wrong turn, Ash.

That's gonna cost him the race.

- Totodile! - Pika!

As we approach the finish line, it's Ross by a length.

But here comes Misty. And it's a dead heat, folks!

It's gonna be too close to call!

- A photo finish! -

Let's go to the videotape.

This is awfully close, folks.

It looks like Corsola inched ahead just enough to win it.

Judges? Yes!

- Misty is the winner! - Yeah!

- - All right! Yeah!

- Corsola! - You were amazing, Corsola.

Great race, Misty. Why don't you let me show you around Altomare?

Really?

All right, Misty!

- That's it here in Altomare! - What happened to Ash?

I'm sorry.

It's okay, Totodile.

Everybody makes a wrong turn once in a while.

- - Pikachu!

That's enough, Totodile.

- Cool. - Yeah.

The buildings in this town are really beautiful.

- Yeah, so are the girls. - Brock.

Thanks a lot for taking us on this tour, Ross.

Don't mention it Misty.

Nothing's too good for the recipient of the first-place glass medallion.

Oh, thanks.

Pretty cool, huh? Check out all the symbols on there.

They tell the story of our town. Do you like it, Misty?

Yeah. It's really nice.

They sort of look like Pokémon.

Hey, there they are again, on top of those pillars.

- Huh? - Pika?

Yeah. Those are known as the Guardians of Altomare.

That's Latios on the left and Latias on the right.

Legend has it that they watch over our town and protect us in case of danger.

Are they just statues, or do they really exist?

They say they do.

- I sure would like to see the real ones. - Pika.

Me, too.

- I bet they're really cool. - Yeah.

I guess we never see them because things are always so peaceful around here,

we haven't really needed their protection.

If these Latios and Latias are supposed to be guarding the town,

how come we haven't seen them yet?

It's not that simple.

The book said they can take on a completely different shape,

even human beings, if they want to.

- That's pretty cool. - Yeah, it is.

But they're still Pokémon, so this scanner will find them.

They have lower body temperatures than us. Bingo.

That's one of them.

Let's go pay our new friend a visit, shall we?

We all scream for ice cream!

- Was that Team Rocket? - Huh?

- They didn't spot us, did they? - Who are they?

They're spies for Giovanni.

Don't tell me you've never heard of Annie and Oakley.

This could be just the chance we've been waiting for.

Why don't we follow them? They're obviously up to no good.

Yeah, and that could be good for us.

Besides, they owe me a chocolate chip mint.

Wobbuffet!

That place has great seafood, and if you're still hungry,

there's an ice cream place around the corner.

- Thanks for everything, Ross. - Any time. Enjoy your stay.

We will!

- Ciao! - Ciao!

- Ice cream? - Absolutely.

- Let's go. - I hope they have pistachio.

Pika?

Pika-pika!

- Come on, Vaporeon. -

Pika!

Pika.

Pi?

Pika!

- Pikachu, don't you want any ice cream? - Pika-pika!

Come on. Let's go.

Hmm?
