Team Magma are on the prowl in Hoenn!

As Ash and his travelling companions entered the land of Hoenn, they were confronted by troublemakers that make Team Rocket look like a comedy double-act…

In the Pokémon: Advance Generation series of the anime, there’s an episode called ‘A Ruin With A View’ in which Ash, May and Team Rocket themselves come across Team Magma attempting to discover the secret of a set of ruins while in Oldale Town. Magma is an evil organisation (much like Team Rocket) led by a guy called Maxie, and their goal is to release Groudon, the beast of the Earth, back into an unsuspecting planet where the Pokémon can eliminate all the water and create new lands, just like it did millions of years ago in the past. Team Magma use Fire-type Pokémon like Mightyena, Golbat and Houndoom, and their arch enemies in the series are Team Aqua.

While Team Rocket attempt to do battle with Team Magma when they are confronted by them in the ruins, they take one look at Magma’s vicious Fire Pokémon and Jessie and James start to run for their lives! Meanwhile, Ash and May are getting a lesson in the ancient ruins of Houen from the archaeologist Umezu, when he gets an alert that his precious ruins are being ransacked by a group looking for ancient Pokémon – Magma! Little do they know that these ruins are only accessible with four special sphere keys that only Umezu has in his possession!

Our old friend Ash Ketchum has probably seen and battled more Pokémon than most. He has the right to think of himself as a bit of a Pokémon expert, but not even he had come across Darkrai before! Do you think he’s ready to face the mysterious Darkrai in the tenth Pokémon movie?

The gang were all on their way to another Pokémon Contest, with Ash leading the way as usual, when they stumble upon a place called Alamos Town. Roaming the streets, they meet a young girl named Alice who kindly gives them a tour of the landmarks of the town – the wonderful gardens filled with water features and lush greenery and the Space-Time Tower. While on their tour they discover that part of the gardens has been destroyed by someone – or something!

Suddenly, a man called Baron Alberto appears. He’s an influential man of the town and he’s adamant that this devastation is down to the mysterious Legendary Pokémon Darkrai. Just as he’s making these accusations, Darkrai himself appears before them all as if to confront them about Baron’s theory! None of the gang had ever come across Darkrai before – just who is he and what does he want? There are so many questions that need to be answered about
this Pokémon!

Before anyone can find out we see Dialga and Palkia fighting a vicious battle in space. The ferocious Pokémon are so powerful that they tear a hole in Space-Time and Alamos Town can clearly be seen through it. A deep, dank fog slowly descends on the town, trapping all the townfolk so that they are mysteriously unable to leave!

Alice’s childhood friend, a boffin called Tonio, soon realises that Alamos Town is in the grips of some kind of Space-TIme phenomenon, and analysing the data he discovers that the destruction of the gardens was down to Palkia arriving in town after suffering terrible injuries in his fight with Dialga. As this giant among Pokémon takes refuge, it’s not long before Darkrai senses its presence and goes in for the attack, causing yet more devastation to the poor town and sending the people
running for cover. Then, to make matters worse, Dialga appears from the other dimension, looking for his foe to continue the fight. When the two god-like Pokémon meet face to face with Darkrai, the battle between them isn’t pretty!

Shockwaves rattle out around the town as the giant Pokémon savage each other. Before too long, the town is nearing complete collapse and a prediction written in the diary of Tonio’s great-grandfather and the architect of the Space-Time Tower, Godey, could be coming true! It reads, “When space and time come together, a great wrath will engulf the world. An eternal never-ending battle of gods… a hope is left: Oración…”

Can Ash and his mates save Alamos Town from the wrath of these monstrous Pokémon? Can they trust Darkrai, or is he an enemy? Grab a DVD to find out!

10th Movie Facts!
• The setting of Alamos Town in The Rise Of Darkrai is based on Barcelona in Spain. The movie’s creators visited the city many times in the making of the anime. The Space-Time tower in the movie and the Oración are actually modelled on the Sagrada Família and the Park Güell in Barcelona, created by architect Antoni Gaudí. The names Tonio and Godey in the movie are a homage to this famous architect and his work.
•The Rise Of Darkrai, called Dialga Vs Palkia Vs Darkrai in Japan, was a big success in cinemas over there. It topped the box office charts when released and was seen by 1,074,000 people in the first three days!
•The movie was more successful than the previous one, Pokémon Ranger And The Temple Of The Sea.
•The English version of the movie was shown exclusively on Cartoon Network in the States on 1 February 2008 andcame out on DVD in the UK on 29 September 2008, courtesy of Network. Grab a copy down the shops as soon as you can! It’s only £12.99 and comes with an exclusive limited edition Pokémon Trading Card Game card – cool!

Let’s go back in time to 2005… way, way back to the time of the Pokémon Advanced Generation. Destiny Deoxys was the seventh Pokémon movie out of the 11 that now exist, and tells the tale of a mysterious meteorite that crashes to Earth releasing strange eggs!

The movie starts with an unidentified object hurtling towards our beloved planet. Is it a missile? Is it a comet? No, it’s a meteorite and while it whizzes towards the ground, a similar meteorite is heading on a crash course with the planet Origin. As the first meteorite breaks through the Earth’s atmosphere it just misses the Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza. It may be a Sky Guardian and one of the most powerful dragons the world has ever known, but the meteorite would have made mincemeat of it if it had hit the Pokémon. The space rock crashes into the Arctic region of the Earth and two egg-shaped glittering objects break free. One of the eggs, a purple one, morphs into a strange monster, a monster that had mutated from a virus buried inside the egg. This is Deoxys – a Psychic Pokémon, and this was the first time the world had ever seen this Pocket Monster.

The purple egg Deoxys picks up the green egg that hasn’t mutated but before it can leave, Rayquaza appears through the ozone layer searching for the meteorite that nearly crushed it. On seeing Deoxys, Rayquaza attacks and a fierce battle begins. The two powerful Pokémon fight, completely destroying a polar research site nearby. This traumatises a young boy who witnesses the battle and a stampede of Sealeo, Walrein and Spheal Pokémon who are attempting to escape the chaos. Rayquaza is eventually trapped by the purple Deoxys, but the new Pokémon is distracted by some broken computers zapping electricity. This gives Rayquaza the opportunity to escape its clutches and it then takes its chance to attack with a Hyper Beam move. Reeling from the attack, the purple Deoxys mutates back into egg form and plops into the ocean. The green egg, left alone, is taken by some researchers. The purple Deoxys, injured, slowly regenerates under the ocean and waits for the day that it can find its green
egg counterpart.

Time goes by, four years to be exact, and Ash, Max, Brock and May are on their way to the Battle Tower. They meet with a young boy called Tory Lund. Tory is a bit of a loner and is very much afraid of Pokémon because of a psychological trauma he suffered when he was small – he is the boy who was in the polar region when Deoxys battled with Rayquaza. It turns out that Tory’s parents were the researchers that took the green egg and are still running tests on it in a lab. Meanwhile, the purple Deoxys is now fully healed and sets off to find its friend. On meeting Tory, Ash thinks he is a Pokémon Trainer and invites him to join him in a two-on-two battle against Sid and Rafe. Tory uses Ash’s Torkoal Pokémon but not being a Pokémon Trainer, doesn’t know the best way to handle this monster and the duo lose in a big way! Feeling ashamed of his performance, Tory runs away from the Battle Tower, stopping only to save a Minun that has become trapped.

A strange purple haze is a clue that Deoxys is strong again and about to return, searching for the green egg. It’s not long before Rayquaza senses its presence and returns for another battle. Deoxys is ruthless in its search, destroying anything and anyone who gets in its path. Ash, along with Pikachu and Tory, must find the green egg for Deoxys and fast, or there will be nothing left! Can they do it? You’ll have to watch the DVD to find out, now won’t you?

7th Movie Facts!
• Deoxys made its debut in this movie in its Normal, Defense and Attack forms. Other Pokémon that debuted in this movie are Metagross, Munchlax and Rayquaza.
• Destiny Deoxys featured the first ever fourth generation Pokémon in the shape of Munchlax.
• To research the movie, the team, headed up by Kunihiko Yuyama, visited Vancouver in Canada in October 2003 and used what they saw as the basis of LaRousse City.
• Rather than being released at the cinema, this movie was the first to debut on TV, then later had a video and DVD release.
• Ash and the gang visit Drew’s hometown of LaRousse in the movie and the character Rafe looks a bit like the Cool Trainer character in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

Pirates, Water Pokémon, a vast ocean and a travelling circus – what on Earth are Ash and his pals up to in the ninth Pokémon movie? Pokémon World investigates…

In the centre of a vast ocean, a simple but beautiful lone Manaphy Egg floats down to the depths, then the tranquillity and call of the Water Pokémon is broken by a bunch of evil pirates led by the king of pirates, Phantom. These watery wasters attempt to capture the special blue egg for their leader. It’s a double-cross, though, as one of the pirates isn’t all he seems! Jack Walker is a Pokémon Ranger in disguise, and when the moment presents itself he grabs the Manaphy Egg and makes a daring escape from the pirate ship, outwitting the guards every step of the way.

Meanwhile, Ash and the troupe are doing their usual ramble through the wilderness between Pokémon battles when they come across a travelling circus where Water Pokémon perform to great crowds. They tag along with the circus, getting to know the performers – Lizabeth, Meredith, Ship and Kyle. They discover that these circus performers are descendants of ‘The People of the Water’ and they, along with Jack, are trying their best to deliver the Manaphy Egg back to the Sea Temple. It’s not plain sailing though, as the pirates are soon back on their trail.

In all the commotion the little egg hatches, and the Manaphy that emerges becomes attached to May in a big way! It appears that Phantom is desperate to get his hands on the Manaphy so that the Pokémon will lead him to the Sea Temple and its special treasure – the Sea Crown! With the Sea Crown in his clutches, Phantom will have enough power to take over the world! He eventually catches up with our Pokémon-loving buddies and it’s up to Ash, his mates, Lizabeth and Jack to protect the Manaphy and stop the evil pirate once and for all!

The Cast of Characters

As well as Ash Ketchum, the hero we all know and love, each Pokémon movie introduces a host of new characters to get excited about. The lead in Pokémon Ranger is played by Jack Walker, as he is the Pokémon Ranger himself! Then there’s the character of Lizabeth, the teenage girl that the gang come across as one of the ‘People of the Sea’. Phantom is the nasty pirate leader who is out to capture the Manaphy Egg so that he can find his way to the Temple of the Sea and Judy is the Mission Coordinator for the rescue mission Jack Walker is on – he talks to her through a special talk-back system!
