Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis With the Lake Guardians captured and the Red Chain complete, Cyrus prepares to begin his final plan and summon Dialga and Palkia so they can lay waste to Sinnoh. While Gary, Professor Rowan and Cynthia try to hold things together, it's up to Ash, Dawn and Brock to try and free Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie as well as try to calm Dialga and Palkia... but can the powers of Knowledge, Emotion and Willpower be enough to stand up to the sheer force of Time and Space?

Major events

• Cyrus succeeds in briefly summoning Dialga and Palkia.
• Ash, Dawn and Brock join forces with Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie to stop Cyrus and calm Dialga and Palkia.
• Cyrus disappears through a portal created by Dialga and Palkia.
• Saturn, Mars and Jupiter are arrested while the Adamant Orb and the Lustrous Orb are recovered, thereby bringing down Team Galactic.
