ASH "WHAT LIES BEYOND


TRUTH AND IDEALS!"


GHETSIS O, Legendary Pokémon Reshiram.


Come forth and ignite your flames


'and descend into our world once more.'


Team Plasma, stop it now!


- Huh? - Where did this fog come from?


Huh?


- Hey, wait. - Could it be?


[gasps]


[screaming]


That's Psybeam and Magical Leaf.


That means it has to be those two.


It's Concordia and Anthea.


They must have come to rescue N.


[AGREEMENT]


Axew, listen to me. [AGREEMENT]


Think you can break through this band?


[AGREEMENT]


[EXERTION]


[gasps]


You're doing great, Axew. Just keep working on it.


[EXERTION]


CONCORDIA N, your heart has been stained.


What exactly has happened to you?


Concordia. Anthea. Listen to me.


Team Plasma is trying to awaken Reshiram.


If they're successful


the tragedy that occurred years ago


will surely be repeated.


Reshiram was filled with so much rage.


I have to find out why.


If not, we'll never be able to understand each other.


PLASMA GRUNT Quiet.


Without understanding


people and Pokémon are doomed.


Doomed without a future.


I want Reshiram to believe in humanity.


CONCORDIA N, return with us.


ANTHEA We cannot afford to lose you.


I will not run away.


If you really want Pokémon to be happy


then battle with us, side by side.


It's Gardevoir and Gothitelle.


Doctor Colress, aim for the Pokémon


at the heart of the fog.


COLRESS 'Understood.'


[STRUGGLING]


- Ah. - Oh, no!


Alright. Now, use your powers in the service of Team Plasma.


You're all nothing but fools. [EXERTION]


What's the matter with you, Gardevoir?


Gothitelle, you've got to rescue N.


[ATTACK]


[screaming] [gasps]


ALDITH 'Now, your Pokémon have been


transformed into our weapons.'


Answer, Reshiram.


'We are awaiting your momentous return to our world.'


[gasps]


[ANGRY]


Ah. Reshiram.


IRIS Wow. The Legendary Pokémon.


Reshiram.


[EXERTION]


Thanks. Now go and see if you can free Cilan too.


[AGREEMENT]/[EXERTION]


Hah.


Reshiram.


[gasps]


Reshiram. Welcome. I am Ghetsis.


I have been anxiously awaiting your return.


[ANGRY]


I expected you'd be angry.


That doesn't matter. You shall be my weapon.


[ANGRY] Then let us begin.


And fire.


[PAINED]


[gasps]


Even Reshiram is unable to resist



my monumental technological achievement.


'Now, Reshiram, show us your full power and unleash it.'


[ANGRY]


Huh?


COLRESS 'Reshiram is now


completely under our control.'


[gasps]


It's perfect.


I'm incredible beyond words.


Hear me, Reshiram.


By order of Team Plasma, I command you to engulf


those people in flames.


[ATTACK]


N 'What?'


[ATTACK]


[grunting]


[screaming]


Run away or you're finished.


[screaming]


My tail is toast!


- That's incredible. - Too incredible.


Imagine Reshiram on call hours a day.


[FUSION FLARE MOVE]


[screaming]


[STRUGGLING]


- Huh? - Yipes.


A Fusion Flare. Incredible power.


How self-centered can you get?


Ghetsis doesn't seem to care what happens to his team.


COLRESS 'These numbers


are impressive indeed.'


But there's still more.


'Reshiram's potential is far'


'far greater than this.'


[ROAR]


Yes, let's prove it. Use Fusion Flare!


[FUSION FLARE MOVE]


[PAINED]


- Huh? - Cilan, are you okay?


Yeah. How are you, professor?


It appears that I'm doing alright.


if I wasn't hurt.


But regardless, you've got to fight.


I'll save you, professor.


Crustle, let's go!


[APPEARING]


'Break through the professor's band.'


[AGREEMENT] Please try to be gentle.


[CONFIDENT]


- Lord Ghetsis. - Ah.


You two couldn't be more worthless.


We've got to do something, Pikachu.


My friends, the Pokémon.


We've got to rescue all of them.


[AGREEMENT]


- Ash. - Whoa, it's N.


[gasps]


ALDITH Still trying to get in our way.


Pikachu, use Thunderbolt.


[AGREEMENT] [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


[EXERTION]


If we don't do something, they'll steal the world from us.


Hm, we've got to grab that machine


and scram out of here.


Then our Team Rocket empire will become reality.


'There's no way we're going to take orders'


from a grouch like Ghetsis.


The Boss can be the one and only Boss.


- You guys. - Huh?


JESSIE/JAMES Huh? The International Police.


- So, we meet again. - Huh?


You're the only ones who can get us


out of this awful mess.


- Help us out, please. - Us? Help you?


- What for? - For our rep.


Team Rocket's time to shine.


MEOWTH/JAMES Yeah.


[THREATENING]


Doctor Colress.


'Aim the Pokémon control device at Pikachu.'


No way.


I'm going to protect Pikachu, no matter what.


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


It's Reshiram.


That's so foolish of you.


Sacrificing yourself for your friend won't do you any good.


- Yo. - Who is that?


It's Meowth.


That's right.


A talking Meowth. Team Rocket.


- You're gonna love this! - Ah.


[ATTACK]


[PAINED]


- Why are you helping us? - Don't sweat it.


[laughing]


- 'Hide.' - Right.


This Twerp helper's gonna give you one shot.


I gotcha. And thanks for the help.


Where are the other two?


With the International Police!



ASH 'Looker.'


MEOWTH 'We're all working together


to destroy that device.'


In that case, I'll lure them away.


Okay, Pikachu, you stay here.


'If they see you, they'll try to control you.'


[WORRIED]


Now, don't worry about a thing, buddy.


We're gonna protect you.


- Hey, Ash. - N.


Team Rocket and I are going to destroy the device.


'You should stay here and protect everybody.'


But how are you going to destroy it?


It's being protected by a bunch of brainwashed Pokémon.


We'll just force our way in.


[WORRIED] Are you nuts, Twerp?


[screaming]


- Oh, no, Ash. - Don't do it.


It's too dangerous!


His job is little more than getting their attention.


While we're doing the heavy lifting. Let's go.


- What? You too? - You're wasting your time.


Our Pokémon will stop you.


[THREATENING]


ASH Huh?


[WORRIED]


- Wait! You could get hurt. - No, Pikachu.


Okay, if you're not gonna stay hidden


then use Quick Attack and move fast.


[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]


Ash may not be able to hear a Pokémon's inner voice


but he sure understands their feelings.


'Isn't that the ideal we've been searching for'


'all this time?'


COLRESS Pikachu, locked on.


- Huh! - Huh?


[ATTACK]


[WORRIED]


[PAINED]


That was Dragon Rage.


[PAINED]


You just leave this to us, Ash.


[AGREEMENT]


[EXERTIONS]


Huh?


[PAINED]


[EXERTION]


Team Rocket?


Prepare for trouble. Surprise, surprise.


And make it double, we help the good guys.


To protect the world from devastation.


To unite the people within our nation.


To denounce the evils of truth and love.


To extend our reach to the stars above.


It's Jessie.


And it's James.


Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.


Surrender now, or prepare to fight.


Meowth, that's right.


[gasps] [EXERTION]


We'll handle these jerks.


Long enough for you to give them the works.


Make me proud of you Twerps.


Now, Ash and Pikachu, go!


Right. Come on, Pikachu.


[Ash screaming]


Reshiram. Get them.


[ATTACK]


Ah. Ah.


Use Electro Ball and aim for the device.


[AGREEMENT]


[ELECTRO BALL MOVE] Lock-on completed.


[ATTACK]


[PAINED]


ASH Pikachu.


[screaming]


- Ash. - Oh!


Uh, Pikachu.


[STRUGGLING]


Amazing.


Pikachu is fighting the device.


Fighting off the evil and trying to maintain control.


Pikachu, fight.


You can do it.


[AGREEMENT]


'Pikachu, you can't let the device beat you.'


You can win this. I know you can!


My, my, you really like to dream, don't you?


'My device is able to control the likes of Reshiram.'


What hope does your little Pikachu have of resisting it?


Huh? [STRUGGLING]


Impossible. There's no way you can resist.


[STRUGGLING]


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


[PAINED]


[ANGRY]


Reshiram. I can hear its voice.


Reshiram's consciousness has returned.


- I sense great pain. - Huh? Reshiram too?


It's trying to use Pikachu's Thunderbolt



'to escape the device's control.'


[STRUGGLING]


GHETSIS Doctor Colress,


what is the meaning of this?


Raise the output.


You must take control of Pikachu.


[beeping]


[PAINED]


- Don't give up, Pikachu. - You've got to stay strong.


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


No. It can't be.


GHETSIS Pikachu should be completely


under our control.


'Pikachu, can you hear my voice?'


[STRUGGLING]


Destroy the device. Pikachu, use Electro Ball!


[ELECTRO BALL MOVE]


[ATTACK]


COLRESS Ah!


Way to go.


- What's this? - Ah.


[RELIEVED]


IRIS 'The Pokémon!'


[RELIEVED]


- The Twerps did it. - Pikachu's simply incredible.


Don't forget, teamwork led this race.


Does that mean we won?


[WEAK]


You were awesome, Pikachu.


[HAPPY] Pikachu really did it.


And with exquisite taste.


COLRESS 'I, I can't believe it.'


It can't be true. Impossible.


I guess it's something you'll never understand.


Huh?


'Nothing's stronger than the trust between'


'Ash and his Pokémon.'


My theories are indisputable.


I won't quit.


[ANGRY]


Now what?


That voice. The fierce voice of rage.


Huh?


COLRESS 'Incredible.'


'Reshiram's power is far greater now'


'than when I was controlling it.'


How can that be?


[ANGRY]


[ATTACK]


[STRUGGLING]


Reshiram, please try to control your anger.


Reshiram.


'You've got to listen to us.'


N 'We're not your enemies.'


People and Pokémon can live peacefully together.


[CONCERNED]


You must know our feelings.


'How we truly care about you deep within our hearts.'


And that feeling will always be there.


[ROAR]


Reshiram, this is unacceptable!


- Lord Ghetsis. - We must retreat.


- Don't let them escape. - Krookodile, Stone Edge!


[APPEARING]


[STONE EDGE MOVE] Now, Crustle, Rock Slide.


[ROCK SLIDE MOVE]


Dragonite, use Ice Beam!


[ICE BEAM MOVE]


[screaming]


- Way to go, Dragonite. - 'Nice team work.'


[PLEASED]


[ROAR]


N 'Reshiram, wait.'


I've always wanted to meet you.


'The last time I saw you'


'all I could feel from your heart was rage and anger.'


And even now, I can sense your anger.


I have to know something.


You saw the way we joined together and battled


evil here at these ruins.


People and Pokémon alike.


How did you feel when you witnessed that?


I see. Thanks so much.


'The way we believe in Pokémon'


I'm wondering if you could believe in people


in the same way.


The world of truth that you want


and the ideal world for people.


So, just like you


I'll keep fighting, for the ideal world


that all of us can live in.


[ROAR]


When Reshiram answered your question, what did it say?


Hm. Well, how can I put it?


You don't have to tell us right now.


CILAN/IRIS Huh?


Why is that?


Because if I ever meet Reshiram again


I wanna ask for myself.


That'll give us something to look forward to, right?



[AGREEMENT]


Concordia. Anthea.


Don't you think you've seen a lot of things


that you could never have seen from within the fog?


From now on, stay with me


and let's travel out here in the sun.


But travel to where?


N 'To the ideal.'


To work toward turning that ideal into a reality.


'But to do that, I need you both to help me.'


- Hm. - Hm, well.


If that's the way you really feel.


[gasps]


My Pokémon control device was a total failure.


I know, next I think I'll design a device


that will allow Pokémon to communicate with people.


[siren wailing]


Thank you, Ash.


I wouldn't have been successful without your help.


- We'll meet again. - Right.


Take care of yourself, Detective Looker.


Argh. This is terrible.


The Light Stone was a historic discovery.


Professor, we've discovered some new ruins.


- What? - But this time.


- They're ice ruins. - It sounds fascinating.


ASSISTANT B 'We've already unearthed


some rare finds' and we're requesting that you give us


your support with our survey.


This is great news.


Everyone, it's time for us to be heading out.


We won't be meeting again, until we do.


[grunting]


JAMES So catching Pikachu


is completely worth the effort after all.


Not to mention taking care of that annoying Team Plasma.


Team Rocket. Oh, yeah.


TEAM ROCKET And we're feeling great.


N 'Ash..'


...and everyone, thank you.


It's now the right time for the three of us


to take up this journey together.


'To create an ideal world for people and Pokémon.'


Great. [EXCITED]


NARRATOR And so, we come to the end


of the encounter between the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram


and the mysterious young man, N.


Now, as everyone says their goodbyes and sets off


to pursue their dreams, the journey continues.
