Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life

Pocket Monsters, also known as Pokemon.

Dazzling and awe-inspiring.

The amazing creatures that thrive on this planet.

In number virtually too massive to even begin to count,

hundreds, thousands is a more likely total,

but numerous and varied to be sure.

People and Pokemon, competing together against others in a Pokemon Battle

and hoping to one day become champions.

Living together, and reaching out to each other,

as friends and comrades.

Which brings us to Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town, working with Pikachu,

to catch other Pokemon and perfect the art of the battle.

Traveling far and wide with good friends

while honing his many battling skills.

And with every new Pokemon our heroes meet along their exciting journey

a new adventure awaits them.

But now ...

Amidst the fearsome distortions of time and space

one unfortunate encounter has plunged the planet into crisis.

and given birth to a new hatred.

In the unmoving intertwined strings of fate

tangled and inexplicable and seeking an answer beyond time and space

even now there are those who seek to find an answer.

It is time to return the Jewel of Life.

Well, take it.

What are you doing? -I can not give you the Jewel of Life.

You have betrayed me and are trying to destroy me!

The time has come!

Human beings must be brought to justice!

ARCEUS AND THE JEWEL OF LIFE

Ashes journey to become a Pokemon Master continues.

As along Pikachu and his friends, Dawn and Brock,

he happily arrives in Michina Town.

A beautiful place surrounded by nature.

All right, everyone! Come on out!

You guys too! -All right, and you!

You think you're funny.

Watermelons. -They sure are.

Wow! This is our lucky day. -Hold on!

See, those watermelons are ours!

They were cooling down by the stream.

What a shame. -Tough brake.

OK, then you can have 'em on one condition.

Beat us in a battle.

Yeah, well settle this with a tag battle.

OK, I guess that's only fair. -Fair and square.

You really can't come to this town, without seeing the ruins.

Ruins? -Yeah, of a temple from thousands of years ago.

Hey, the guidebook talks about them as well.

I wanna see 'em.

You are gonna love 'em. There the best!

So, what do you say we check the ruins out?

The ruins are way up there.

I can feel positive energy flowing through this place.

Me too. -It feels so great.

What's that? -Quick, Pikachu, use Thunder Bolt!

A thunder creature and creature master, let's hurry!

The Pokemon are running away. -Something's happening.

Let's move!

Oh, no, Pikachu! -Piplup!

Now Dialga, come forth!

Dialga, please, save these Pokemon for me!

The legendary Pokemon that rules time. -Dialga.

But how? -And how did she talk to it?

Hey, Dialga ...

It's Giratina!

It's too dangerous! Get away, quick!

Right!

Giratina is after Dialga still. -Please, stop it, Giratina!

Yeah, come on, Dialga saved Piplup and Pikachu for us!

Giratina.

Now, transcend the confines of time and space.

Giratina.

Sheena! -Giratina's rage.

It's just too strong.

Giratina! Can't you feel I'm right here with you?

Giratina!

So you remembered us. Wow!

Giratina's rage, it's gone. Now's the time.

Transcend the confines of time and space.

You have misunderstood Dialga.

Please, don't battle.

It looks like Giratina gets it now.

That's nice if it's true. But, I should have seen it in its heart.

Should have seen in its heart?

You see, I have the power to connect my heart

with the hearts of Pokemon.

With Pokemon? -Then you can connect with Dialga?

Yes, and it surely lend me some of its strength.

Dialga has?

Hi, my name is Sheena. And I'm a guardian of these ruins.

Same here, too. My name's Kevin.

So were any of you injured? -No, we're fine.

My name is Dawn. -My name's Ash and this is my partner Pikachu.

Thanks for saving my buddy.

Long ago, there was a thunder creature and its master

and they changed the fate of this town.

Yes, you see, it's part of the legend of this town.

Wait a minute. A thunder creature and its master?

You mean me and Pikachu.

I have a feeling our meeting may have been fated.

So would you mind coming with us? -I'll do whatever you want.

I mean, after all, you saved Pikachu's life.

Sheena, I'm Brock. Another fated person.

Why just a short moment ago I took a fated tumble and

scraped my elbow. Which then lead to the fated fact,

that you would kiss it and make it better.

And also fate would have you stroke me with that beautiful hand of yours.

Which is a miracle that took away all of my pain.

All because of the fickle finger of fate

and now we get to know each other

and build our feeling on the fated love that I know is there inside.

Such a lovely silken hand ...

Wrong hand.

Dialga!

Look out!

Sheena, we got to go, or we'll get caught in the water spout!

But, wait ...

It's Palkia!

The legendary Pokemon that rules space.

Hey, look at that! -Palkia saved Dialga! Cool.

transcend the confines of time and space.

Hold on, ... transcend?

It means rise above or go over.

You see, right now Sheena's connected

to the hearts of both of those Pokemon.

She's syncing with them.

Thank you, Palkia, Dialga.

There gone. -They've returned to their own dimensions.

See that? I don't believe it.

I don't get it. -I don't know what to get.

We saw the time, space Pokemon.

And a woman who can control them, as well.

Tapping into the heart of Pokemon rocks,

but I think she's got control issues, too.

I can do that.

You know what? You're just creeping me out.

Wait, what's this? -No way.

You turning on something?

I sure am. My good looks.

I can't believe we're under the ruins.

What's that?

The time-space axis.

Time-space axis? -Yes, that's right.

It indicated the condition of every small change

in the time-space continuum. -Amazing!

We use it to investigate those places,

where time and space have been disrupted.

Time and space disruptions?

That's correct. We watched the strange mutations at Alamos Town.

And when that hole in time and space opened near the glacier,

we were there, too.

Here's our world, which is in turn supported by this,

Giratina's Reverse World.

Here we have the dimension of Dialga.

Here, Palkia's dimension.

On top of that, Arceus' dimension.

What's Arceus' dimension? -I never heard of it.

Is it a Pokemon? -Right.

The legendary Pokemon, said to have created its entire world.

Entire world? -By a Pokemon.

It's also said to have created these world, too.

A Pokemon that creates entire worlds.

Well, isn't that special. -I wouldn't wanna meet it in a dark alley.

There is an omen that predicts Arceus,

will soon awaken from its long slumber.

Long slumber? will soon awaken from its long slumber.

Long slumber?

Massive whirlpools of energy are beginning to form around Arceus,

as it begins to awaken.

These whirlpools are distorting space

and brought Dialga and Palkia's dimensions,

which were designed to remain eternally separated,

into contact with each other.

So Dialga and Palkia, who shouldn't ever have meet,

collided with one another in Alamos Town.

While both of them thought the other had tried to threatened its territory.

Exactly.

There battle also affected the Reverse World,

which brought Giratina into the conflict, as well.

But, Sheena, you already resolved the conflict

between Dialga and Palkia, didn't you?

Yes. -Wait a minute, why didn't Giratina understand you?

When the Pokemon is overcome by rage, she can't connect with it's heart.

Rage?

You see, we've been using the altar to pinpoint

the moment when Arceus will appear.

Why will it do that?

It holds a grudge against humanity.

Arceus remains intent on bringing us all to justice.

Justice? -Yes, justice.

It's possible that Arceus will destroy us entirely.

A Pokemon destroying all people!

No way! It can't be.

Have a look at this.

It's a legend of this place.

Look at that! -It's Arceus!

When it appeared that fragments from the stars

would destroy much of the Pokemon,

Arceus sacrificed itself in order to fend off the danger.
