A mysterious meteorite is hurtling towards the earth, while another is heading toward the planet Origin. During the entry of the meteorite into the atmosphere, it almost wounds {{p|Rayquaza}}, the legendary sky guardian and the strongest dragon ever seen in the world. The meteorite crashes into a polar zone, revealing two egg-shaped sparkling objects. Just after the purple egg regenerates into a {{p|Deoxys}} and picks up its green companion (which has not regenerated), {{p|Rayquaza}} descends from the ozone layer to battle what it believes to be an invader. A battle ensues, destroying a nearby research site and traumatizing a young boy, scared by a stampede of {{p|Spheal}}, {{p|Sealeo}}, and {{p|Walrein}}. The purple {{p|Deoxys}} traps {{p|Rayquaza}} and is about to beat it, but it is distracted by some electrical charges coming from broken computers, giving {{p|Rayquaza}} a chance to escape and obliterate the purple {{p|Deoxys}} with its {{m|Hyper Beam}}. The purple {{p|Deoxys}} goes back to egg form and falls into the sea, while some researchers take the green egg with them. Deep beneath the surface, the injured {{p|Deoxys}} regenerates and prepares for the day it can search for its friend. The green egg somehow appears on Origin, somewhere in Hoenn.
A young boy in one of the polar regions finds a group of {{p|Spheal}}, {{p|Sealeo}} and {{p|Walrein}}, when a meteor crashes down, frightening the Pokémon and making them run towards the sea, trapping the boy in the middle of them. His parents, part of a team of reserchers manage to save him, when a {{p|Deoxys}} appears from the middle of the crash site, having come to Earth on the meteor. However, {{p|Rayquaza}} sees this as an invasion of its territory and attacks. A battle starts between the two, destroying most of the equipment of the researchers. Rayquaza ends up blasting Deoxys to the bottom of the ocean. A green stone found at the crash site is taken back with the researchers on a helicopter.


Four years later, Ash, May, Brock, and Max travel to Battle Tower. There they meet [[Tory]], a boy who is afraid of Pokémon because of psychological trauma that had ensued from the stampede caused by the battle between {{p|Deoxys}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}. [[Tory]] is found to be a loner. The purple {{p|Deoxys}}, which has fully healed, leaves to find the other green egg which Tory's parents are testing in a lab.
Four years later, lasers are being fired by the researchers at the green stone, which starts to glow, but there is not enough power for it to do anything else. Meanwhile Deoxys has regenerated and bursts through the ice.


In the Battle Tower, Ash mistakes [[Tory]] for a Pokémon Trainer and they battle together in a two-on-two combat against [[Rafe]] and [[Sid]], with [[Tory]] using {{p|Torkoal}} ({{OP|Ash|Torkoal}}). However, [[Tory]] does not know how to handle Ash's Torkoal and they lose disgracefully. Tory flees from the Tower and runs away, stopping to save a {{p|Minun}} which was trapped in an automatic trash can. Later on, Ash meets Tory's parents and they all have fun that night with their Pokémon, until they see a mysterious purple aurora, signaling the return of the purple {{p|Deoxys}}.
Soon afterwards, [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr|friends}} arrive in [[LaRousse City]]. At the same time a {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} are playing with a high-tech bin, with a {{p|Munchlax}} cleaning up litter.


When the purple {{p|Deoxys}} begins to remove all of its inhabitants in order to fulfill its search for the green egg, it is up to {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and [[Tory]] to help the {{p|Deoxys}} by finding the green egg. This task is complicated by the return of {{p|Rayquaza}}, and security robots malfunctioning. The city was filled with blocks of robots almost destroying {{p|Rayquaza}}, but with the help of green and purple {{p|Deoxys}}, they saved him.
Ash and co. are greeted by a security robot and given passports. Some people save Ash from going the wrong way on a moving side walk, who introduce themselves as [[Sid]], [[Rafe]] and [[Rebecca]].
 
Ash arrives at the Battle Tower, and tries to ask directions from a boy about the same age as himself, who runs away, seemingly scared by Ash. They then find themselves in the middle of a battle, where [[Tory]], the boy Ash was following, reveals he has no Pokémon. They are up against Sid and Rafe, so so Ash loans Tory his {{AP|Torkoal}}. They lose badly, and Tory runs off after his parents congratulate him on taking part in the battle. Then Rebecca tells Ash what happened four years ago, and that Tory is scared of Pokémon. Ash decides to try and help him overcome his fear. Tory, after freeing the Minun from earlier from a bin with a stick, goes into the gardens to meet with a strange green light.

A young boy in one of the polar regions finds a group of Spheal, Sealeo and Walrein, when a meteor crashes down, frightening the Pokémon and making them run towards the sea, trapping the boy in the middle of them. His parents, part of a team of reserchers manage to save him, when a Deoxys appears from the middle of the crash site, having come to Earth on the meteor. However, Rayquaza sees this as an invasion of its territory and attacks. A battle starts between the two, destroying most of the equipment of the researchers. Rayquaza ends up blasting Deoxys to the bottom of the ocean. A green stone found at the crash site is taken back with the researchers on a helicopter.

Four years later, lasers are being fired by the researchers at the green stone, which starts to glow, but there is not enough power for it to do anything else. Meanwhile Deoxys has regenerated and bursts through the ice.

Soon afterwards, Ash Ketchum and friends arrive in LaRousse City. At the same time a Plusle and Minun are playing with a high-tech bin, with a Munchlax cleaning up litter.

Ash and co. are greeted by a security robot and given passports. Some people save Ash from going the wrong way on a moving side walk, who introduce themselves as Sid, Rafe and Rebecca.

Ash arrives at the Battle Tower, and tries to ask directions from a boy about the same age as himself, who runs away, seemingly scared by Ash. They then find themselves in the middle of a battle, where Tory, the boy Ash was following, reveals he has no Pokémon. They are up against Sid and Rafe, so so Ash loans Tory his Torkoal. They lose badly, and Tory runs off after his parents congratulate him on taking part in the battle. Then Rebecca tells Ash what happened four years ago, and that Tory is scared of Pokémon. Ash decides to try and help him overcome his fear. Tory, after freeing the Minun from earlier from a bin with a stick, goes into the gardens to meet with a strange green light.

Deoxys has reached LaRousse City, and is creating strange lights in the sky, resembling an aurora.

When the purple Deoxys begins to remove all of its inhabitants in order to fulfil its search for the green egg, it is up to Ash, Pikachu, and Tory to help the Deoxys by finding the green egg. This task is complicated by the return of Rayquaza, and security robots malfunctioning. The city was filled with blocks of robots almost destroying Rayquaza, but with the help of green and purple Deoxys, they saved him.

Trivia

  • This movie premiered in Japan between the episodes Sky High Gym Battle and Lights, Camerupt, Action.
  • Deoxys's Speed Forme does not appear in this movie, as this film was released before Pokémon Emerald; Speed Forme had yet to be introduced to the public.
  • This movie featured the very first reveal of a Generation IV Pokémon, Munchlax.
  • LaRousse was much later revealed to be Drew's hometown.
  • In October 2003, Kunihiko Yuyama and his team made a four-day visit to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to form the basis for LaRousse City.
  • L·O·V·E·L·Y ~Dream-Seeing LOVELY BOY~ is the ending theme to the original version of the movie while This Side of Paradise is for the English version.
  • This is the first Pokémon movie to debut on TV before its video release.
  • The character Rafe resembles a Cool Trainer from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
  • Although the Japanese version of the front cover shows more characters on it, it's missing Munchlax, which the English cover shows.
  • Ash's Torkoal had a different voice in the English dub for an unknown reason.
  • This was the last Pokémon movie distributed by Miramax.
  • For the American audience, this movie marks the first appearance of May's Bulbasaur. This is because Grass Hysteria! (the episode that May captures Bulbasaur) did not air in America until April 9, 2005, a little over 2 months after this movie was released.
  • This is the second movie where Ash and company do not meet Team Rocket.
  • This movie was never released on TV in the United Kingdom, but the DVD was still released.
    • In New Zealand, the opposite happened; the DVD has not been released there, however the film aired on TV2 in 2010.
  • This was the last Pokémon movie to be translated into Canadian French.
  • In Latin America, this movie (along with Jirachi: Wish Maker) was dubbed by an entirely different voice cast.
  • In the scene where Ash's Pikachu zaps the hot dog machine and Ash, Tory, and Brock catch hot dogs, Brock makes a pun on the series' slogan, Gotta catch 'em all.

Errors

  • In the ending credits, Audrey and Katherine's shirts are colored mainly yellow instead of cream.
  • In one scene, Mudkip's bottom mouth is colored the same color as the rest of its body.
  • In another scene, Audrey's Masquerain's wings are colored white instead of orange.

Box office hit

  • This film did not make it to the Top 10 box office hit Japan due to the success of American blockbuster movies that year, but was ranked as the no. 1 anime film that year with $34m in box office sales to beat Doraemon 2004 ($23m), Conan ($22m), Crayon Shin-chan 2004 ($11m), Naruto movie ($11m), Innocence ($8m), Steamboy ($8m) and Inu Yasha - Crimson Horai Island ($7m). Its overall ranking is at the seventh place.

Dub edits

  • During the Japanese version of the scene when Deoxys scans the snow to find the green crystal, its body is covered with a shadow until it uses Psychic. In the English version, the DNA Pokémon is enlightened during the whole scene.
  • In the English version, Brock tells Yuko that meeting her reminds him of the time he worked for Professor Ivy, but in the Japanese version, Brock tells Yuko that he's surprised that someone as young and beautiful as her could be a lab assistant, and that he would also be a good assistant, all without even mentioning Professor Ivy.
  • When it first premiered on Kids' WB!, the time duration of the film was 87 minutes. This meant that various scenes were cut in order to make room for their commercials. In the Cartoon Network version, the whole 100 minute film was aired.
  • In the Kids' WB! and the Cartoon Network version, the ending is shortened to a minute. In the VHS, DVD and Toon Disney airing of the film the whole ending is shown.
