Young Pokémon trainer Ash Ketchum and his loyal friends journey
to the beautiful mountain town of Greenfield, where they will encounter
the Unown, the most mysterious of all Pokémon in Kids WB!
Presents "Pokémon 3 The Movie."
The third big-screen installment in the infinitely popular
Pokémon mythology is really two stories in one. The
feature-length adventure, "Spell of the Unown," is
accompanied by a bonus 22-minute short, "Pikachu and Pichu,"
starring the much-loved Pikachu in its own adventure with the
mischievous Pichu brothers, with a Dixieland jazz-inspired score
imported from the original Japanese release.
Many of the more than 100 new Pokémon that were introduced for
the first time in October of last year in the Gold and Silver edition
Pokémon Game Boy games will make their animated debut in
"Pokémon 3 The Movie," including Entei, the
ferocious-looking beast with the big roar and the gentle heart.
Even Charizard, a Pokémon that Ash had released and now lives
in Charicific Valley, will make a surprise return to help the young
trainer during a particularly difficult battle, marking the first
time the two friends have been together since they said goodbye in
one of the Pokémon television show episodes.
The most interesting new Pokémon showcased in
"Pokémon 3 The Movie" are the ultimately mystifying
and elusive Unown, 26 cryptic entities shaped like letters of the
alphabet ("like alphabet soup, without the soup,"
according to Pokémon Meowth) that have the power to bring
human thoughts and dreams into reality.
It is the Unown that create a challenge for Ash far greater than any
Pokémon battle he has ever experienced before. With help from
Pikachu and all his faithful Pokémon, plus friends Brock and
Misty and even a little unexpected assistance from Team Rocket, Ash
must rescue the young orphan Molly from the mystical forces that
threaten to transform her life into a dreamworld prison. At the same
time, Ash must also struggle to bring his own mother back from the
realm of the Unown before she is lost forever and he becomes an
orphan himself.
No one is sure what the Unown are capable of, once they unleash
their full power
.but Ash and his friends are about to find
out.
