Summary:
The movie opens as
usual with scenes of various Unova Pokemon on land, in the sea, and in
the air. Ash and Pikachu battle against a Throh (in Black)/Sawk (in
White). The trio keeps walking until they come to a fork in the road.
They take the right fork on the road in Black, and the left fork
in White.
In Black Hero:
Zekrom, Dread is walking through a hot desert when he
sees a Blitzle with an injured leg. With Reinculus's psychic help to
lift it up onto his shoulder, he walks back to the small village to
return Blitzle to its owner, a little girl. Her father thanks Dread for
his help but tells him to go home, and his plight is useless. Dread
begs them to believe him that the Hometown of Earth can be revived, but
they turn him away.
Suddenly a huge
tornado tears through the desert towards the village, stirring up a
stampede of Bouffalant. The villagers look on helplessly, but Dread
marches towards the disaster and holds up his hand. Reshiram appears
and Dread climbs on its back, riding as it destroys the tornado and
halts the stampede. Dread asks the townspeople, stunned by the dragon's
appearance, to give him another chance.
In White Hero:
Reshiram, the setting is a frozen snowy countryside, and a young boy
and his parents are attempting to gather precious plants without
disturbing some fighting Beartics. Dread has been turned away by this
village as well, but when a glacier crashes into the coast and strands
the boy and his parents with the Beartics in the middle of the frozen
lake, Dread summons Zekrom, who destroys the glacier. Again he asks
them to give him another chance to speak as they look at Zekrom,
shocked.
Meanwhile, back
near Ash and company, two Deerlings are playing nearby on a cliff, but
one is
startled by Victini peeking out from a crack in the rock and begins to
fall, as the other grabs it by the tail. Ash hurries over to help, but
as he grabs them both, he also slips as the rock crumbles. Victini
grabs him on the foot just as he falls, and he is able to jump a
hundred body lengths to a far cliff down below the big Castle looming
over the city. He tells Iris and Cilan to go on ahead and he will meet
them after.
While he walks
through the cave, rather lost, Victini continues to give him psychic
visions showing him the right ways to go. At one point Ash, Pikachu and
the Deerlings walk through a cave with many rock walkways, and an orb
sitting at the very bottom briefly glows and illuminates the entire
cavern.
Ash gets out and
Iris and Cilan come up to the Castle to meet him. Cilan mentions that
legend says the Castle flew from a barren looking valley visible in the
distance to the mountain top. At his companion's disbelief he says it
is only what people say, but it's definitely true the town has
incredibly delicious fruits. Ash longs to eat some, announcing he is
always hungry, and Cilan offers macaroons in a basket. As they make their
way through the Castle to the town below, Ash's macaroons continue to
vanish before he can pop them in his mouth, as Victini, invisible,
steals them. Fireworks begin to go off in town, making Victini choke
mid-swallow, and sending the trio rushing to find a way out so they
don't miss the cut-off time for the tournament.
As they wander
aimlessly, Dread appears and offers to help, saying he's helping at the
Castle at the moment. He guides them out and they sign up for the
tournament. While walking in town they see a Golurk, and follow the
huge Pokemon until they meet its trainer, Janta, a woman running a
souvenir cart full of Victini plush and other goods. While Victini
watches invisibly, she explains Victini is a Pokemon said to live in
town, and will bring power to people. Ash wishes he could meet such a
Pokemon, but she says hardly anyone has ever seen Victini. Iris buys a
little wooden Victini charm to bring her luck in the tournament. Team
Rocket overhears, and decides to abandon plans to capture Pikachu to
get a Victini instead.
The mayor of the
town, Mōmonto, announces they have all had another wonderfully
bountiful harvest, congratulating the townsfolk, then starting the
tournament as he explains each participant has a wooden necklace. While
in town, they must battle people at random, and whoever loses gives up
their necklace. He officially begins festivities with his Klink
evo-line Pokemon powering up a street organ to play music.
The tournament
begins and a Serperior battles against Pikachu first, being defeated.
Iris battles Emboar with Emolga, who uses Volt Change which sends out
Iris' Excadrill instead, forfeiting the match. Iris glares at Emolga
who makes a cute face hoping to be forgiven. Iris hurries to see
Cilan's battle, her eyes lighting up as she fangirls over the Hydreigon
his Pansage is battling. He and Pansage look annoyed until she becomes
sheepish and cheers for them instead, but in vain as Pansage is
defeated. Next, Ash's Oshawott battles Emboar, successfully keeping its
eyes open as it uses Aqua Jet, defeating Emboar. Scraggy, who is out of
his ball as Ash plans to use him, does a victory dance, swinging his
pants from side to side, then holding his arms up, Victini suddenly
appearing in front of him as it dances as well, startling him. He looks
around in confusion before running after Ash to the next battle.
It is Samurott
versus Tepig. Tepig's Ember doesn't even budge Samurott, who sends it
flying into the Victini toy cart run by Janta. Victini was hiding in
it, and touches Tepig, who instantly powers up, his eyes bugging out as
he speeds back out ready to fight. Ash orders Ember again, Cilan and
Iris gaping in disbelief, but the attack is humongous, engulfing the
entire street in flame and knocking out Samurott.
Karita, the
trainer of Hydreigon, who was helping her mother (Janta) clean up the
toys, wonders if Victini could be responsible for the win. She
challenges Ash, who uses Scraggy against her dragon. It tries to use
headbutt, getting knocked into the bushes instead. Karita watches
carefully and gasps as she sees Victini appear momentarily to touch
Scraggy, who powers up and defeats Hydreigon instantly. Karita gives up
her wooden necklace, then goes to explain to Ash and his friends that
Victini is responsible for the wins.
Ash realizes
then that Victini may be what caused him to jump so far, and who guided
him through the caves, and who ate his macaroons. When Victini finally
appears when tempted by Cilan's macaroons, Ash is so happy to meet it
he hugs it and spins it around. It begins to cry from being scared by
being flung around, and goes invisible. Ash apologizes. They walk
through town together while Karita says what a miracle it is that
Victini is appearing, and for macaroons of all things. When they go
down a road, Victini begins to get nervous, but Ash grabs it and runs.
Suddenly Victini is stopped by an invisible force field, becomes
extremely upset, and explodes a fire attack that reveals the entire
force field around the Castle area for a moment. Then it vanishes,
leaving the group distressed. Karita explains there is a force field
caused by the protective pillars that are scattered seemingly randomly
around the Castle, and Victini cannot leave them.
They find
Karita's mother and explain about Victini. Cilan asks her to tell them
where the nicest, sweetest place in town is, where someone would go to
feel happy and good, because maybe Victini is there. As they head
towards the place, they run into Dread and Mōmonto. They learn Janta is
Dread's mother, and Karita is his younger sister. Janta complains he
hasn't contacted her in half a year, and they try to surprise him with
the news that Victini is there, but he merely replies that he knows
already.
They find the
secluded little garden area, which happens to be part of Mōmonto's
property, with a pond and various Pokemon, including many Cottonee,
Petilil, Minccino, Purrloin and Drilbur. Ash falls into the pond
trying to make Victini show itself, and it tries to help him, but drops
him in the water. They play and splash around together, while the mayor
and family look on enjoying how happy Victini looks.
They go into
Mōmonto's home where he tells the story of the People of Earth, and how
they are all descendants of them. Once, a thousand years ago, the
People of Earth lived in the Hometown of Earth, and Victini belonged to
the King. The people used the earth wisely and lived in peace,
skillfully using a power inside of the earth called the dragon pulse,
which kept the land bountiful and prosperous. When the king's two sons,
the Princes of the kingdom, one the Hero of Truth who is the friend of
Reshiram, and one the Hero of Ideals who is the friend of Zekrom, begin
to fight, war breaks out, and the town is ravaged as the dragon pulse
goes out of control, reversing its power and draining the land of all
green and life.
The king, using
Victini's power, which it willfully gives to help its friend, moves the
entire Castle with most of the people inside of it away from the
ravaged land. He devises protective pillars to keep Victini's power in
check and also to protect the Castle. It lands atop a mountain some
distance away, but the King's energy is gone, and he dies before the
protective pillars can be disabled. They fall haphazardly around the
area, trapping Victini within their confines for all time. The princes
realize their mistake, but it is too late already, the dragon pulse
having turned to chaos. Reshiram and Zekrom, exhausted by battle,
revert to the form of a round stone, which the Princes hide where
nobody can find them.
They go back
outside to watch the Pokemon playing, Victini happily picking and
sharing fruits with everyone. They think about how lonely Victini must
have been trapped in the area around the Castle for a thousand years,
but Cilan hopefully says maybe Victini was not so lonely, watching it
play with the Pokemon.
Dread stands
with his family and Mōmonto, and says he wishes to borrow Victini's
power. He turns to his mother and reminds her that she mentioned her
dream once, and she flashes back to when he was small, standing with
Janta in the ruined, barren land where their ancestors lived. She said
it was her dream that people could again live there. He says her dream
can come true, now.
In a small study
with just the four of them sitting together, Dread tells his story. He
says how three years ago, he had been tirelessly working to find a
solution to the dead land in their ancestor's home, visiting villages
around the world where the People of Earth live in small, scattered
villages, but is rebuffed each time being told he is chasing fantasy,
that they can no longer live together in the Hometown of Earth, as it
is dead. He convinces Mōmonto to help him, and hears a mysterious voice
in his head, the voice of one of the dragons. Together, they go deep
into the caves below the Castle. At one point Mōmonto cannot find a way
to go any further down, but Dread appears on a lower level, neither of
them sure how he found his way there. Mōmonto realizes only Dread is
meant to go on. In Black Hero, Dread meets Reshiram, who recognizes him
as the a Hero of Truth. In White Hero, he meets Zekrom, who
acknowledges him as a Hero of Ideals.
Now with one of
the legendary dragons on his side, he returns to the villages,
convincing the villagers with his power over the dragons. In Black, it
was Reshiram who stopped the glacier, and a young boy of the village
gave
Dread some of the precious plant in a glass vial as a token. In White,
it was Zekrom who stopped the tornado and stampede, and Dread was
given a small Blitzle toy by the young girl who owned it.
As he is
recounting his tale, there is a knock on the door. All of the villagers
from the snowy village and the desert village walk in, supporting Dread
now in his dream.
Ash and friends
are asleep outside. Victini is asleep in Ash's lap, dreaming. It dreams
of the force field trapping it, and sees before its eyes the many
centuries passing, seasons changing rapidly and a town springing up on
the mountain below the Castle's new location. At the end, the King
appears, begging forgiveness for accidentally trapping Victini. He
vanishes, and Victini screams for him, which awakens Ash despite having
been only in Victini's dream. Ash pets the sleeping but troubled
Pokemon, mumbling that it must have indeed been very lonely.
Victini wakes up
and seems startled and hurried, making everyone follow it to a ledge of
the Castle, where they watch the sun rise over the ocean. Victini acts
very agitated and excited, and Ash realizes it dreams of visiting the
sea. He promises he will take Victini there one day.
Meanwhile, Dread
is preparing to attempt to move the Castle back and revive the Hometown
of Earth, with his family and the other descendants watching and
supporting him. He sends out his Sigilyph, who begins to power up the
Castle's internal workings, and the many Solosis and Duosion who live
below it wake up and begin to glow. As the Castle comes to life, the
protective pillars begin to glow, then rise up and close in on it.
Victini flies away from them in terror, trying to avoid being hit by
the force field. It is pushed into the main room, where Dread asks it
to lend him its power. At first it smiles happily seeing a vision of
the king asking the same thing long ago, then panics as it realizes
this is not the king, but it is too late. Victini is trapped by the
force field and its power begins to be forcefully drained to power the
Castle, which begins to rise up. As it rises, the green, healthy dragon
pulse spills out and water and life creep back into the Hometown of
Earth once the healthy pulse reaches it.
At first Ash and
company are stunned, but then Ash wants to know where Victini went, and
finds it suffering as its power is drained. He begs Dread to stop, but
Dread seems to think he is merely borrowing the power, and uses his
Reuniclus (in Black Hero) or his Gothitelle (in White Hero) to stop
Ash, Cilan, and Iris. When his sister and mother also see Victini's
suffering, Dread is shocked when even his mother begs him to stop.
Reshiram (in Black Hero) or Zekrom (White Hero) soon appear to aid
Dread and stop their meddling, but Janta sends out her Golurk who
bravely attempts to fend off the legendary Dragon, but is knocked out
and falls through the clouds.
Dread, desperate
to save the hometown of his ancestors, tries to explain that sometimes
sacrifices must be made for important events such as this. Ash says he
doesn't need that kind of truth/ideal, and renews his frenzied attempts
to destroy
the ancient device draining Victini's power, but is held immobile, then
rendered unconscious by a psychic attack from Dread's Pokemon.
While
unconcious, the suffering Victini sends a vision to
Ash of the final moments of the king's
life. The king, weakened and near death, tells Victini the Castle must
never be moved again, as it would let the unhealthy, chaotic dragon
pulse run amok and could potentially ruin the world. Ash watches as the
king dies before Victini's eyes. When he awakens he
and the others are in the storage room of the Castle. Janta and Karita
ask them
to forgive Dread, knowing he means well. Ash panics and shouts out the
information he learned in the vision.
Janta realizes that the dragons reverted to their stone form before the
dragon pulse went bad, and thus Dread's dragon was asleep before it
could have
known about the King's final warning and the danger of the chaotic dragon
pulse, which is already running amok and destroying the forest blow
them as
they speak.
With Dread's dragon partner being
overly powerful, Ash feels it is almost hopeless, but Janta says one
thing could stop the dragon -- the other dragon, its counterpart, which
is probably asleep in the caves below the Castle, where Dread found the
dragon he is using. Ash sets out with Iris and Cilan, using the secret
way down that he found with the Deerlings before he met his friends
again and Dread guided them out of the Castle earlier in the movie.
Once down below,
Cilan and Iris are surprised as Ash is walking on the lower level
suddenly, and nobody knows how he got there, even himself. He soon
hears a voice -- of Zekrom in Black Hero, demanding he show his ideals,
and Reshiram in White Hero, demanding to know his truth. The path
begins to crumble, and Ash and Pikachu race to avoid falling. At the
bottom they come across one of the stones -- and the proper dragon
awakens from its long slumber, once again asking Ash about his ideals,
or his truth. Ash clearly states he just wishes to help Victini, and
does not want to let it die, and how he promised he would take Victini
to the sea after it has been alone for a thousand years. The
dragon agrees to help Ash.
Meanwhile, the
Castle continues to drift back towards the old valley, leaving
destruction in its path, hidden by thick clouds from Dread and his
dragon's view. Momonto, flying in his helicopter, passes the horrible
scene and flies to the Castle to warn them. Janta and Karita tell him
they know already but can't stop Dread. Janta's Golurk reappears to
once again try to fight with Dread's dragon, but is beaten down to the
courtyard, where it lies unable to move as the dragon powers up a final
attack. As they watch, another attack blocks the final blow, and Ash
appears, riding on the back of his own dragon.
Ash's Dragon
sets him down at the Castle, then it continues to do battle with
Dread's. Reshiram and Zekrom fight each other, until, Reshiram (in
Black) or Zekrom (in White) falls, nearly unconscious, down towards
earth, only for the other dragon to swoop down and save it by scooping
it up onto its back. Dread's dragon, now near the ground, can clearly
see the destruction being wreaked in the wake of what Dread is
attempting to do.
Back in the
Castle, Ash and Pikachu manage to defeat Reuniclus/Gothitelle, then he
runs to destroy the device trapping and slowly killing Victini, but
throwing himself at it does nothing, along with Pikachu's attacks.
Suddenly, Dread's dragon appears in front of Ash. Dread demands it stop
him, but it destroys the device instead, much to everyone's surprise.
Ash catches and cradles a much-weakened Victini protectively. As the
Castle begins to sink, Dread asks why the dragon betrayed him, and it
states that it has heard the fury of the earth. Zekrom and Reshiram
clear the clouds so Dread can see what is happening below -- instead of
life sprouting, the forest is being destroyed by the chaotic and out of
control dragon pulse. He is crushed as he realizes his mistake and asks
the dragons what to do. They explain they need to use the Castle to
reverse the pulse and block the source, and begin to cause the pulse's
power to be sucked up into the Castle away from the earth.
Dread says the
Castle might be ruined and everyone must leave quickly. Karita and Iris
evacuate on Hydreigon, and the rest begin to climb into Mōmonto's
helicopter. Ash,
holding Victini, stops and asks Dread what he will do, Dread merely
replying this is something he must handle. Ash tries to run to the
helicopter, but is thrown back. The protective pillars are still
hovering around the Castle, trapping Victini. Ash refuses to leave
without it, and as everyone else leaves, Ash sits on the floor huddled
with Victini as the Castle, accelerated by the power it is absorbing,
shoots higher into the atmosphere, Dread being knocked out and falling.
Ash is cold and begins to have trouble breathing. Dread re-appears
riding Golurk, and Golurk, Reshiram and Zekrom continue to attempt to
destroy the protective pillars to no avail. Dread tries to encourage
Ash to be brave and hold on, as he
is one of the dragons' chosen, but the protective pillars surround Ash,
Pikachu and Victini so tightly, Dread cannot get through to them.
Now very high in
the atmosphere with oxygen levels and temperatures dropping, Ash is
delirious and nearly unconscious. He whispers to Victini how sorry he
is for being unable to keep his promise to take it to see the ocean. It
is so cold that Ash's tears freeze before they hit the ground and he
loses consciousness. Victini powers up in its urge to save Ash, using
V-Generate, the warmth of it waking Ash before Victini uses it to
finally break the pillars, crashing through them up into the sky. The
distorted dragon pulse is also released harmlessly into the atmosphere,
and the Castle goes back down. Dread is able to board again, but
Ash is unconscious.
With Ash wrapped
in a blanket, and Zekrom and Reshiram pushing the Castle as Mōmonto guides in his
helicopter, they find the source of the dragon pulse near the ocean,
and use the Castle to plug the "leak", as the dragons instructed. Once
the Castle settles, the dragon pulse calms and turns healthy once more
before dissolving. Team
Rocket, who had been seen twice unsuccessfully stalking Ash at the
Castle, look at the ocean and state that they feel good anyway.
The group, now
safe, stands on the beach, obviously feeling mixed emotions, as Victini
vanished and supposedly perished in its final V-Generate attack it used
to free itself and release the polluted dragon pulse. Ash states that
here is the ocean, and apologizes again for being unable to do anything
to help Victini. He takes one of Cilan's macaroons, throwing it at
the water and shouting it was what Victini loved. The macaroon stops
and is eaten in midair as they watch. Cilan happily exclaims this is a
"taste" they all know well. Ash grins and pretends he is going to eat
the final macaroon, Victini appearing and whimpering as it reaches for
it. Ash gives it over and hugs Victini tight, making it choke a bit.
Everyone looks
happy, but Dread falls to his knees, overwhelmed by his mistake. His
mother lifts him up and smacks him hard on the back, saying that what
is really important is yet to come. Victini shows Ash a vision of it
using its power to
help restore the Hometown of Earth, and Ash understands Victini and he
cannot be together much longer as it has a job to do. Zekrom and
Reshiram depart, powering up their tails as they shoot into the sky
over a rainbow.
As the credits
roll, various scenes of the newly restored lands are shown, with Dread
and the People of Earth looking on with Ash and friends as they all say
goodbye. Zekrom and Reshiram can be seen flying over the ocean and
above cities. Other various scenes flash by, including a thunder and
rain
storm caused by Thundurus in White Hero, and a wind and rain storm
caused by Tornadus in Black. Team Rocket is also seen stalking Ash and
friends from inside a cafe, watching as they walk past, Proof/Peg from
the
previous movie also walking by.
The End -- really! There was
no preview for next year's movie, yet. Sorry all!
Some
of the differences in the movies:
-The opening
sequences.
-Completely
different soundtracks and composers for the entire duration of each
movie.
-The Pokemon who
appear as background characters.
-Dread's
psychic-type partner (Reuniclus or Gothitelle).
-Which Pokemon
is Shiny (Janta's Golurk or Karita's Hydreigon)
-The left and
right fork in the road.
-Cilan's
macaroon basket is red in White, and blue in Black.
-Various scenes
are mirrored.
-Ash does
gymnastics when the basement cave begins to break apart in White, but
merely runs for his life in Black.
-The battles
between Reshiram and Zekrom are differently animated in each movie,
using different attacks at different times in different ways.
-Same goes for
the Pikachu versus Dread's psychic battles.
-Key plot point
macaroons changed colors in each movie. For example, in Black, the
macaroon Ash throws at the ocean is pink, and in White, it was white.
-Anything else
we can't think of at the moment ;) But lots of cute little differences
besides the bigger obvious ones!
