Ash arrives at Cameron Palace where a festival is being held to celebrate Sir Aaron, an ancient hero who averted a war that was about to begin outside of the Tree of Beginning. At the festival, Ash co...( read more  read more... )mpetes in a tournament at Cameran Palace and wins, to become the "Aura Guardian" for that year. As part of the celebration, Ash is granted Aaron's staff, which contains his Pokémon companion, Lucario, whom Aaron had sealed before stopping the war. However, Pikachu is taken away by Mew when an adventurer named Kidd attempts to put a tracker on the legendary Pokémon using her Weavile. Naturally Ash, with the help of Lucario, follows Mew to the Tree of Beginning in order to rescue Pikachu. There is but one problem. After being sealed in the staff, Lucario has lost his complete trust for humans. Then Ash earns Lucario's trust and they enter the entrance to The Tree of Beginning. They are attacked by Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, the tree's guardians who recognize them as a threat. They enter the tree and are attacked by the tree's defense system, with the actions of white blood cells and able to transform into other Pokémon such as Aerodactyl. When Ash and the gang are absorbed into the tree, Mew saves them by reasoning with the tree's defense mechanism, but becomes incredibly weak in the process. In order to save Mew and the tree, Lucario and Ash combine their Aura to reverse the self destruction of the tree.

    A little stupid beginning, with Mew kidnapping Ash's pokemon, which gives the whole plot to the movie. But awesome movie, anyway.
