Plot

Ash, Iris and Cilan arrive in Eindoak, a village in Unova that is the ancestral home of the "People of the Earth." Long ago, Eindoak was the seat of power for the Kingdom of the People of the Earth - it has since fallen into decline, but the castle called the "Earth's Sword" remains.

During the battle tournament held for the village's Harvest Festival, Ash befriends Victini, a rare Pokémon that inhabits Eindoak. Though cowardly, Victini is able to share its strange power with those it likes.

Not everything is peaceful, however. Dread Grangil, a descendant of the People of the Earth, intends to resurrect the glory of his people's fallen kingdom. To do so, he plans to use Victini to reactivate the Earth's Sword.
