Synopsis

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 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 Deoxys and picks up its green companion (which has not regenerated), 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 Spheal, Sealeo, and Walrein. The purple Deoxys traps Rayquaza and is about to beat it, but it is distracted by some electrical charges coming from broken computers, giving Rayquaza a chance to escape and obliterate the purple Deoxys with its Hyper Beam. The purple 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 Deoxys regenerates and prepares for the day it can search for its friend. The green egg somehow appears on Origin, somewhere in Hoenn.
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 Deoxys and Rayquaza. Tory is found to be a loner. The purple Deoxys, which has fully healed, leaves to find the other green egg which Tory's parents are testing in a lab.
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 Torkoal (Ash's). 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 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 Deoxys.
When the purple Deoxys begins to remove all of its inhabitants in order to fulfill 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, Mudkips bottom mouth is coloured the same colour as the rest of its body. File:Mud.jpg
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.
