A number of updates have been made to the movie website in recent days, including a new plot summary and details on the Diancie event. Translations follow:

Story Pick-Up Guide

Once upon a time, the "Great Destruction" took place, eradicating all life in the Kalos region.

The Great Destruction was brought upon by Yveltal, the "Destruction Pokémon" said to rob everything of life. After destroying everything, Yveltal turned into a "Cocoon of Destruction", in which form it still sleeps today.

When this Great Destruction took place, the only one rivaling Yveltal's power was Xerneas, the "Life Pokémon". Xerneas was said to bestow life to people and Pokémon.

Now, the journey to meet with these two grand legendary Pokémon of the Kalos region begins...



"Diamond Ore Country." The land where the "Jewel Pokémon" Melecie live in peace and prosperity. It is located deep underground, and no one knows its exact location. In this country, a giant diamond known as the "Sacred Diamond" can be found...

For ages, the Sacred Diamond has played the role of an important energy resource, which keeps the ore country going. The only being with the power to create this type of diamond is princess Diancie herself. However, Diancie does not yet possess this power. And... time is starting to run out.

The Sacred Diamond's lifespan is about to run out. When that happens, the beautiful ore country is going to perish!

Having encountered Satoshi and Pikachu, Diancie sets out on a journey to save her country; a journey in search of the "Life Pokémon" Xerneas, seeking its sacred power.



Having encountered Satoshi and Pikachu, Diancie sets out on a journey to save her country; a journey in search of the "Life Pokémon" Xerneas, seeking its sacred power.

On their way, they get attacked by the female thief "Marilyn Flame" and the ninja thief "Ninja Riot", who seek Diancie's power to create diamonds. Diancie gets into really big trouble when the Rocket Gang gets involved as well!! However, they get saved by the mysterious father and daughter duo Algus and Miriss, who suddenly show up, and somehow manage to continue onward. And Diancie, who has lived her entire life as a princess, feels what friendship is for the very first time, growing a bit in the process...

The group continues onwards, guided by the Fairy Aura Xerneas emits, until they eventually reach the forbidden Alearth Woods, where all life was once eradicated.

Director Yuyama's Location Scouting Report

This time, Director Yuyama chose Canada as the country he would go scouting in. He went there in search of the landscapes where Yveltal would sleep, where Xerneas would hide, and Diancie would journey.



After eating lunch at an Italian restaurant along the highway, we set off for the Skydeck Tower, where one can get a look down at the Thousand Islands. The Thousand Islands are a group of more than 1500 islands scattered through the Saint Lawrence River downstream from Lake Ontario. The Skydeck Tower lets you look down at them from 400 feet's height (roughly 120 meters).

The elevator ride to the top took 40 seconds, and when the door opened, a beautiful, dream-like 360 degree scenery spread out before us as far as the eye could see. Thin clouds were lingering in the sky as we were there, and Director Yuyama greatly admired the sight.

The Diancie Event

Why the Diancie Given Out is so Amazing!

The giveaway will be available in theaters between Saturday July 19th and Tuesday September 30th while the Pokémon movie is being screened.
*Screening periods will vary between theaters. Please verify with your local theater personally.
*Be aware that even if the movie continues being screened, the giveaway will not be available after Tuesday September 30th.

	Reflect A move that reduces damage from the opponent's physical moves for 5 turns. If you raise your Defense with Diamond Storm, you will decrease the damage from the opponent's physical moves even further.
	Return A Normal type move that changes is power depending on how friendly you are with the Pokémon. Its special trait is that it grows stronger the friendlier you are. After you receive Diancie, take it with you on your adventure, and it will become more and more friendly.
	Moonblast A Fairy type move that reduces the opponent's Special Attack. Just like Diamond Storm, it's of the same type as Diancie, so its power will increase by 1.5!

This is a powerful item that, when held, will increase the power of a Normal type move by 1.3 times a single time. If you use the "Normal Jewel" to increase the power of "Return" even further when Diancie loves you as much as it possibly can, you're able to deal large amounts of damage to the enemy!
The "Normal Jewel" disappears after being used once.
Be aware that when you hold a "Normal Jewel", it will automatically activate its effect when you use a Normal type move.
*If you're playing a link battle over the PSS, the "Normal Jewel" will not disappear after use.
