Template:Incomplete synopsis
Crown City, a town where water and greenery, old streets and modern buildings, coexist in beautiful harmony. Intending to watch the "Pokémon Backer World Cup" being held there, Ash, Pikachu, and company head for Crown City. On the way, they meet and join up with Zorua, a Pokémon said to be searching for its comrade.
Meanwhile, a Pokémon called Zoroark is destroying Crown City in the guise of Raikou, Suicune, and Entei. Celebi, returning to the town for the first time in twenty years, is presented with its own crisis...

Trivia
- This is the only Diamond and Pearl series movie that is a stand-alone movie. The other three Diamond and Pearl movies are part of a trilogy.
- This movie marks the first time all three of the legendary beasts appear at the same time in the anime, and the first time Raikou gets a starring role in a movie.
- This is also the first time shiny Pokémon have a major role in a movie.
- The teaser trailer shown at the end of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, showed Ho-Oh and Lugia locked in an aerial battle, and Zoroark transforming into a darker version of Ash. Neither of these elements made it into the final film.
- Even though the movie airs between DP183 and DP184, it does not actually take place in that time period, which is during the Suzuran Conference.
- This movie will be released in Taiwan on July 30, 2010, which is just 20 days after its Japanese premiere.
- Professor Rowan, Johanna, Paul, Barry, Ursula, Nando, Zoey, Cynthia and Palmer make cameo appearances in the movie's credits, along with all of the Gym Leaders and Elite Four members of Sinnoh.
- Jimmy makes a cameo in the beginning of the film with a Donphan.
- The Officer Jenny seen in this movie has a star symbol on her hat, which was the same symbol worn by the Jenny in Viridian City (who was also the first Officer Jenny to appear in the series).
