DVD Review: Very good indeed.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good Pokemon movie, my favorite besides Destiny Deoxys and Pokemon 2000.
The plot starts out when Ash and the group travel to a city named Altomare. That means "high seas," and Ash will learn about that later.
Misty and Ash take part in the Tour De' Altomare, a race in the canals of the city (heavily based off of Venice). The legendary Pokemon Latias appears when Ash is about to fall into a building after tripping, and she saves him by bumping him back to his pod. Latios and Latias both help Ash, but take a wrong turn as they feel something from him.
Misty wins, and wins a medallion that shows Latios, latias, and the Soul Dew, a special jewel that protects Altomare. They see them on the statues and then go to get some ice cream.
Ash is drawn away though by Pikachu, who wants a drink from the fountain that a trainer and her Vaporeon are drinking from. But when he arrives, there's no trainer there. But then a girl with red hair turns it on and Pikachu enjoys the drink. Ash comes up and the girl inspects him closely, running away short after that, whcih of course results in a confusing for poor Ash.
Later, he hears that the girl is in trouble and goes to save her. An Araidos (spider Pokemon) and Espeon (psychic cat Pokemon) are hurting her, but as she is screaming, no sound comes out. Two teenage girls, Annie and Oakley, are terrorizing her.
Ash frees her and she runs away with him, but when she brings him back to the ice cream shop, she is nowhere to be found.
They go to the museum and look at the DMA (defense Mechanism of Altomare) and Ash looks up and sees the same girl painting, and chases her as she heads out. She says that she doesn't know him and runs away, and gets away. But then Ash sees the same girl on the bridge, and follows her into a wall in the greenhouse.
They then come to a garden called the Secret Garden, and Ash follows her to a swing. But these intruder things start twirling around and a tidal wave comes at Ash and Pikachu, hitting Pikachu severly. But when the thing rushes toward Ash again, the girl rushes in front of him, and the thing reveals itself to be Latios, the legendary dragon that protects Altomare.
An exact copy of the girl holding her arms out walks in. She asks what are they doing with Latios. Ash says that he just followed the other girl here, and the copy says for Latios to get them. But then the guy that showed then around the museum appears and asks if Latias wants to play with her new frieds. The girl nods and takes Ash to a swing, where she reveals herself to be Latias, the other legendary dragon of Altomare. She can shapeshift into anything she desires.
They play for a little while, then Ash goes back to the hotel he is sleeping in. Annie and Oakley appear at night when Latias and Latios are sleeping, and try to capture them. Latios defends his sister and gets captured, but tells Latias to escape and find Ash.
Latias appears and shapeshifts into the other girl, Bianca. She tells Ash what's wrong by sightsharing, another power they have to see through the other's eyes. Latios has been captured and taken to the DMA where he is being hurt and used to power it. The DMA has the power to destroy the entire world.
The sightsharing stops and Oakley orders the city to go on citywide lockdown, so that no one can get to her. She orders the fossils of Aerodactyl and Kabutops to get Latias and Ash, and they get beaten by Latias.
They arrive at the DMA and try to get Latios, while Ash tears apart the web that Bianca and Lorenzo, the guy that showed them around the museum, apart.
The Soul Dew is resting in the DMA, and it is getting blaker by the second. They succesfully pull Latios out of the rings and the control panel stops working. But a giant tidal wave comes and Latias and Latios have to fuse their strongest attack, Luster Purge, together to destroy the wave. They succed, but Latios dies and Latais is sent away. A large light goes up to heaven as Latios dies.
Later, they find Latias and she is fully recovered. Nice selection of songs at the end. There are three shapes at the end, which reveal themselves as Latias, Latios, and Latios Sr.
I liked the movie alot!
Description of Pokemon Heroes: The Movie
Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 09/06/2005The fifth Pokémon movie takes Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu to the city of Altomare, a thinly disguised Venice guarded by the shape-shifting Pokémon Latios and Latias. Two new agents of Giovanni's, Annie and Oakley, are out to capture these rare Pokémon--reducing Team Rocket to the role of spectators. Latios and Latias are linked to an elaborate, computer-generated mechanism that defends the city, controls the tides and brings fossil Pokémon back to life. Ash and Pikachu foil the evil plan with some help from Misty, Brock, and Bianca, a girl who lives in Altomare with her kindly grandfather. The contrived story suggests that as far as features are concerned, the Pokémon franchise has pretty much run dry. (The film earned less than $1 million in its U.S. theatrical release.) Extras include a Camp Pikachu short and a Pokémon Heroes trivia game. (Rated G, all ages: minor cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon
