[Jessie B] All Pokémon will belong to Team Rocket.

[relieved sigh] What a nice day!

It's Pokémon Contest practice time.

Let's give it our all!

[Pokémon cheering]

Hold on. Where could Piplup be?

[gibberish]

Hmm?

[snoring]

[Dawn] Piplup, why are you sleeping now?

Piplup?

The contest is tomorrow.

You've gotta pull yourself together and wake up!

-Oh! -[yawns]

Piplup, what are you doing?

-Snap out of it! Come on! -Piplup!

[Dawn] Just when I need us to pull together,

you're doing nothing but nothing!

You've been sleeping a lot,

and the minute you're done eating, you're asleep again!

[Piplup chirping]

Huh? Stop right there!

[Dawn grunts]

[Mamoswine] Moo?

Piplup? Huh?

[gasps]

[chirping]

[sobs] Piplup!

-[muffled chirp] -Huh?

[sobbing continues]

[Dawn] Excuse me!

That Piplup is mi… Huh?

[chimes]

[gasps]

[Dawn] Piplup?

No. It can't be!

[Ash] Uh-huh. Yeah.

I've got it. On my way!

What was that about?

[Ash] Dawn says her Piplup's been kidnapped!

-[Goh] Kidnapped? -[gasps]

Dawn lives in the Sinnoh region, doesn't she?

[Ash] Yes, sir!

I was just about to tell you something related to that.

Recently, there has been a rash of missing Pokémon reports

in the Sinnoh region.

[beeping]

[Ash] What? That's a lot!

And they're all shrouded in mystery.

[both] We've gotta go there now!

Dad, please, you have to let me go with them!

Eevee, vee!

As you wish. Be careful.

Right!

Now that it's decided…

It's off to Sinnoh!

-[all] Go! -Pika!

[theme music]

-[Goh] "The gates…" -[Ash] "Of warp!"

[light music]

-Pika! -[Ash] Dawn!

[Dawn] Hi, Ash. Chloe and Goh, too.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

No need to worry.

Though I wish I really felt that way.

How could you not worry?

Right after your partner has just been taken away.

I thought of that. So I brought you this!

[Ash] Piping hot croquettes! So why don't we fuel up first?

-Pika. -Oh, Ash.

[all gasp]

[Dawn sobs] This isn't like me, is it?

I'm fine.

There really is no need to worry!

[Ash] Really? Somebody who looked just like you?

Mm-hm.

The clothes she wore were just like mine.

Could it be?

Yeah. We saw the very same thing.

[Goh] Someone who looked just like Chloe.

[Chloe] I've heard there can be other people in the world

who look just like you, but…

I get the feeling this is different.

-Huh? -[both gasp]

[Dawn] That girl was hugging Piplup

when she entered into a strange hole of light.

A strange hole of light?

[Dawn] Yeah, and after that, they disappeared into it!

You mean like an Ultra Wormhole?

I'm not sure.

And when I went to Officer Jenny to report what happened…

There are actually a large number of cases

that match your description.

According to eyewitness testimony,

the hole appears to be somehow connected

to another undetermined location.

We've been referring to this strange phenomenon

as a gate.

-Wow, a gate? -To a strange location?

It sure makes you wonder.

-Pika! Pika! -[all gasp]

I won't throw this Pikachu back!

It looks like trailing the Twerps to Sinnoh really paid off!

It's Team Rocket!

-Catch ya later, chumpies! -[laughing]

Oh, no, you don't! Lucario, I choose you!

[upbeat music]

Use Aura Sphere!

[grunts]

Pika! [whimpers]

[yelps]

[all scream]

Pika!

[Ash] Pikachu!

Inteleon, go!

-Intel. -Use Snipe Shot!

Inteleon!

[Team Rocket whimpering]

[Team Rocket screams] We're blasting off again!

[Wobbuffet] Wobbuffet!

Some folks never learn.

[all gasp]

[suspenseful music]

-[gasps] -Hey, what's going on?

That's one of those gates!

[chuckling]

Prepare for battle.

Team Rocket again?

How'd they get back?

They don't know when to give up!

-[Jessie B] Targets acquired. -Begin the attack!

Dark Pulse, go!

[grunts]

-Lucario! -Inteleon!

-Capture -Wobbu!

[grunting]

Operation completed. Retreat.

-Huh? -Pika!

-[Ash] Come back here! -[panting]

-[grunts] -[all groan]

Hurry! [Dawn grunts]

-Pika? -[gasps]

-Ash, what happened? -Vee.

[Ash grumbles]

[Ash] Lucario!

[Goh groaning]

-Are you all right? -Uh huh.

Where's Team Rocket?

We lost sight of them.

Ash and Chloe aren't here either.

Even the gate vanished.

[grumbles] Inteleon.

The other Team Rocket appeared to be somehow different, didn't they?

Yeah.

[Dawn] Officer Jenny said that if you went through the gate,

you'd be connected to some other place.

[Goh] It doesn't look any different to me.

-But something's off. -You're right.

Grookey. Grookey?

[both] Huh?

-[both gasp] -[Goh] Isn't that…

-[Dawn] The aurora? -[Goh] No, no, no.

That isn't possible in a place like this.

[Dawn] Which means it's something else.

-[both] Hmm. -Grookey, groo.

I know! We might learn something if we go over to my house!

Learn? Learn what?

We'll only know once we get there!

[Grookey chirping]

[chuckles] You know, she reminds me of Ash.

[Goh panting]

[Dawn] This is my house.

-[Goh] Well? -[Dawn] Hmm.

Well, it doesn't look any different.

Then what's wrong?

When I left this morning,

our garden was filled with lots and lots of blooming flowers.

[Goh] Flowers? Oh.

I just realized there were flowers in the park,

but they weren't there when we passed through the gate.

Hmm. Yeah, you're right.

Wait a sec. That may not be all of it.

[Dawn and Goh] Hmm.

[Dawn and Goh] Hmm.

[both] Pokémon!

That's right!

Once we passed through the gate, they weren't there!

Come to think of it,

we didn't even see a single Pokémon out on the street!

That explains the weird feeling I was having.

This means something may have happened to all of them.

[Goh] Sinnoh League, second place?

So this really isn't my room after all.

And all of it means that this Dawn is…

Hmm. Somebody else.

But look.

[Dawn] Her partner's the same as mine.

She has a Piplup, too.

Then that must mean if there's a different Dawn,

this isn't a different place as much as…

[gasps]

-Huh? -[door opens]

Huh?

Someone's coming. What'll we do?

Talk to them. It's the only thing we can do.

[tense music intensifies]

[approaching footsteps]

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

Pika?

Pika, Pika!

-[gasps] -Grookey!

-Uh, uh… -Grookey.

[Goh] She does look exactly like you!

Piplup?

[gibbering]

-Piplup! Thank goodness! -[whimpering]

[gasps]

Mm.

[Dawn B] I see. You've traveled through a gate to this world.

-Grookey! -[Goh] Wait. This world?

Gates are doors that allow one to pass from this world

directly to your world.

You see, you and I are exactly the same person,

only we're both living in different worlds.

[gasps]

First, allow me to apologize.

I know I took Piplup away from you.

I owe you a big apology.

[Dawn B] It wasn't my intent.

I really meant to give Piplup right back to you,

but when the gate closed on me, it wasn't possible.

I saw your pictures.

[Dawn] You and Piplup love each other, right?

[gasps]

If so, I think I get how you feel.

How painful it is when your Pokémon is taken from you.

-[Dawn B sobbing] -Piplup?

[Goh] I have a question.

There don't seem to be any Pokémon here. Why?

We didn't see any on our walk from the park.

[mellow music]

Would you all come with me to see my Piplup, please?

Piplup?

This is it.

-[all gasp] -But it's an Egg!

You see, Piplup reverted back to being a Pokémon Egg.

Just like all the other Pokémon here.

But why?

One day, in locations all over the Sinnoh region,

gates made of a strange light began to open.

[Dawn B] And eventually, things began to change.

The Pokémon began to forget moves they should have known.

And to make things worse,

it was like time was running backward,

and they returned to their pre evolved forms.

And eventually, it happened to my Piplup.

They began gathering the Eggs and Pokémon

at the Pokémon Center,

and Professor Rowan began researching the cause.

Then, one day,

a gate opened near me by sheer coincidence,

and beyond it, I saw Piplup.

[chirping]

Huh?

Huh? Ah.

Excuse me! That Piplup is mi… [Dawn gasps]

[Dawn B] It looked so much like my own poor Piplup.

Please forgive me.

[Dawn] No need to worry!

I need you to forgive me! I had no idea.

But Dawn, I did something really bad.

Huh?

And if you stay here, you and your friend's Pokémon

will forget their moves.

-And eventually… -[Dawn gasps]

Piplup?

That can't ever happen! No, not ever!

Isn't there something we can do?

[Goh] Hmm.

I don't know, but with all these strange events,

something may be wrong with the spacetime continuum.

Spacetime continuum?

Are you saying that it's been warped?

Mm-hm.

I seem to remember Pokémon who were somehow related to that.

[all] Hmm…

[Piplup chittering]

-Hmm… -Plup.

-Grookey. -Aha!

Dialga and Palkia.

It's them!

[both screeching]

[narrator] Meanwhile, what about Ash and Chloe?

[Ash] I wonder if Goh, Dawn, and Lucario are just beyond the gate

that was open awhile back.

[Chloe] This may sound unbelievable,

but I think it's a door to another world.

Door to another world?

I was reading about that in a novel the other day.

It said that there's another world in existence

just like our world.

And suddenly, a mysterious door somehow opened

between the two worlds.

So you're telling me,

if we could go to that other world,

you think I would be able to get Lucario back?

-I guess. -So Goh and Dawn are there now?

Uh, probably?

Tell me. Isn't there a Pokémon who can transport you to another world?

[Ash] Hmm… A Pokémon with awesome power…

Hey! What about Palkia?

Palkia?

[Chloe] Rotom, please tell me about Palkia.

[Rotom Phone] Palkia. The Spatial Pokémon.

A Water and Dragon type.

Palkia is said to live in the space between parallel worlds,

and with its ability to open portals at will,

one can travel to faraway places and dimensions.

I knew it!

If Palkia can lend us its power,

then maybe we can go to the other world!

Yeah. Any more information?

[phone chimes]

[Rotom Phone] There is additional information

at the Canalave Library.

Canalave Library? Let's check it out!

-Pika! -Right.

-Pika! -Eevee!

[Ash] Chloe, you find anything?

-[Chloe] Not a thing. -[Pokémon chatter]

[Ash] Whoa! Cynthia!

What a surprise! Did you come to the library by yourself?

Oh, no. Look, you see?

Right here. I'm with my friend.

Nice to meet you. I'm Chloe.

[Ash] Cynthia is the Sinnoh region Champion,

and she also researches Pokémon ruins.

[Chloe] Wow! You're amazing!

-Thanks very much. -[Pikachu] Pika.

So what brings you to the library today?

We've come here so we could do some research on Palkia.

Tell me.

Does it involve the recent missing Pokémon?

Huh?

[Cynthia] There are a lot of Pokémon myths here in the Sinnoh region.

The Legendary Palkia can control spatial dimensions.

While the Legendary Pokémon Dialga is able to control time.

It is also said that they were both brought forth

by the Mythical Pokémon Arceus.

[Ash] Hmm. What do you think of those missing Pokémon incidents?

[Cynthia] Let's see…

If it's truly about gates appearing between dimensions,

then the chances that Palkia is involved are very high.

So that means it is Palkia.

[Jessie B] Your useless research ends right here.

[Ash and Clothes gasp]

[Ash] Team Rocket!

That's them over there.

Those are the ones who stole their Pokémon!

-Give Lucario back right now! -Pika.

Prepare for battle.

-[Meowth grumbles] -Wobb.

Now, Garchomp, let's go!

[growls]

-[Jessie B] Target acquired. -Begin the attack!

Using Slash!

Garchomp, use Dragon Claw!

[Garchomp grunts]

[grunts]

Use Outrage!

[growls, whines]

Huh?

-Capture! -Wobbuffet!

No way. Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pi…

Huh?

-Pikachu, what's wrong? -Pika?

[laughs]

So it's already starting in this world, too?

-[gasps] -Wobbu!

Pi…

-Kommo-o! -Pikachu!

[Cynthia] Use Outrage!

[grunts]

Pika.

[scoffs]

Retreat.

-Hey, come back! -Pika!

Ash, don't go!

-Eevee! -You shouldn't go either!

[Ash grunts]

[Eevee grunts]

[dramatic music]

-[Jessie] You saw that, too, right? -[James] I saw. I saw.

I sure wouldn't want to bring them home for dinner.

Does anyone have an idea as to what they jumped into?

Whatever it is, there's one now!

[Wobbuffet chitter]

Huh? Where's Team Rocket?

They're gone.

Cynthia, too.

-Pika? -[whimpers]

[Chloe] I'm sorry, Ash!

This must be the other world that's just like ours, don't you think?

[Ash] It sure looks exactly like our world.

But something's weird here.

Hmm… Huh?

[gasps] Look, there are no flowers!

[Ash gasps]

[Ash] You're right. There aren't any Pokémon, either.

Wait. Look at that.

[ambient music]

[Chloe] Without a gate, I doubt we can get back to our world.

-So what should we do? -We'll figure it out.

But for now, let's go find Goh and Dawn.

-Come on, buddy! -Pikachu!

[sighs, chuckles]

Always the optimist.

[Ash] Um, excuse me!

-Huh? -[chuckles]

Huh?

-Uh? -Pi…

Pikachu.

[both] It's me!

[gasps]

[narrator] And so, Ash and Chloe have entered

the other world, too.

Meanwhile, Goh and the two Dawns

are investigating the warped spacetime.

Will Ash and Goh be able to get their Pokémon back?

Find out as the journey continues.
