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!

I wish he were an actual character in the series, he’s just that awesome.
I didn’t really like Tonio or Alice, though. They were just like all of the other characters in the movie. Alberto’s unique.

I just wanted to comment and say that I really enjoy your site and I ended up reading way more than I expected. Good design, very usable and professionaly written. Keep up the good work
I’m very happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to be given and not the accidental misinformation that’s at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this best doc.
For those of you who have’nt watched the movie, DARKRAI IS INNOCENT!!!
but why does Brock have a little blue book of babe’s? well he IS head over heels for nurse joy
Good website! I really love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I’m wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your feed which must do the trick! Have a great day!
Awesome blog but honestly the large amount of adesense ads really make the readers experience much less.
Ace Movie…
Is Darkrai a baddy or a sort of baddy? Will Brock fall in love? (he always does and tries to woo but he never wins)Will Crogunk stab him in the back? (YES! OF COURSE!!!).
