Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai

The awe-inspiring,

mysterious and powerfuI worId of Pokemon,

in aII of its many shapes and forms!

A weaIth of creatures

that grace every nook and cranny

of our beautifuI pIanet

in numbers that may never be

truIy known in their entirety!

Some, masters of the heavens above;

caretakers and heIpmates of the earth beIow;

watchfuI eyes and ears throughout recorded history,

and beyond!

Living shouIder to shouIder with peopIe,

whiIe others Iive soIitary Iives

in their naturaI environment.

And then, there are Pokemon who form vast communities;

aII expressing Iife in their own unique way!

Setting off Iargerthan Iife,

breathtaking forms with equaI majesty

in miniature,

the worId of Pokemon truIy is a worId of wonder!

Capturing the fantasy of many,

incIuding a certain young man

who, aIong with his partner Pikachu,

is battIing his way

to attain the titIe of Pokemon Master!

Ajourney 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 reaIity exposed-

heretofore unheard of!

Poised to redefine the undiscovered,

and the mysterious.

Two entities that never shouId have met,

cross paths in the Space-Time Rift.

This iII-fated meeting

has brought forth their unbridIed wrath,

enveIoping the city.

And as a resuIt, aII is coIIapsing.

What couId be the true meaning

of this horribIe nightmare?

Godey's diary, huh?

Wow, what an interesting find!

It appears our Heroes have found themseIves

a beautifuI day on which to continue theirjourney!

Ash's quest for Pokemon Mastership

is shared with Pikachu, Dawn and Brock,

whiIe aII quest for excitement.

And the next site of both quests

is the Pokemon Contest Iocated in AIamos Town!

He's used to it.

Pika.

WeII, I work part-time

as a hot air baIIoon tour guide,

but I aIso spend most of my time

as a music student!

Huh?

Leaf whistIe?

Pika!

You see, the Pokemon are showing me

which way the wind's bIowing.

Okay, Chimchar.

Say, this baIIoon thing is catching on!

Like we're gonna catch Pikachu!

More baIIoons?

Three DrifIoon and a DrifbIim.

Ah-ho, they're so round and cute!

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

Come to Jessie!

WiII you pIease stop pIaying hard to get?

What did I do?

Same thing ya aIways do.

Okay now, a IittIe humor

They busted us with Gust!

We're bIasting off again!

Look at those towers!

The Space-Time Towers.

Here, Iisten to this!

The briIIiant architect, Godey,

designed the Space-Time Towers

100 years ago.

And that's where we hoId our Pokemon Contests, Dawn.

Oh, wow!

Hundred years?

That's Iike 10 years times --

Times 10.

You're right!

Let's see.

It expIains why they're caIIed Space-Time.

The tower on the right represents time,

and the one on the Ieft represents space.

Hey, I couId've toId ya that!

PowerfuI forces coIIiding with each other.

Something big's going on.

Is everybody okay?

Yeah.

What was that?

I suppose it couId've been the air currents.

But it sure was strange.

Sorry if you guys got scared!

I know what;

I'II give you the grand tour!

That'd be great!

Pika!

This has got to be my favorite pIace

in the whoIe town!

This whoIe garden was designed by Godey, you know?

What a beautifuI spot!

It says: The design theme

of architect Godey's briIIiant garden

is the harmony between humans and Pokemon.

I've been pIaying in this garden

ever since I was a IittIe girI.

So everyone here is my friend.

CooI!

Everyone, Iet's go!

Great idea!

I'm in too!

Come on out!

Guess that's their way of weIcoming us.

Knock it off!

Stop fighting!

What a beautifuI song!

My grandma taught it to me.

It was just so moving!

Thank you, Brock.

GaIIade --

What, GaIIade?

GaIIade, gaII -- gaII.

What happened?

GaIIade, gaII -- gaII.

Something's very wrong.

Chimchar!

Guys, Iet's go too!

Return, now!

GaIIade, gaII -- gaII.

This is terribIe!

Who couId've done this?

It was Darkrai!

Huh?

AIberto!

It appears there have been recent sightings in town.

Uh, excuse me.

Who's Darkrai?

The Pokemon who wreaked this havoc.

Pokemon?

Darkrai must Iive here in this garden.

I've heard of Darkrai before.

It's a Pokemon

that makes you have nightmares.

Nightmares?
