Long ago, on an island called Altomare, there lived an old man and woman. One day, the couple found two small children lying on the shore, badly wounded. The couple took them in and took care of them, and the children quickly recovered. But then, the island was attacked by monsters. Within moments the island fell into the monsters' wrath. But then...Before the old man and lady's eyes, the children who they had taken care of transformed into the Eon Pokemon, Latios and Latias. They called their family from the sky. They came, and carried a stone with them containing the power to force the monsters away. This gem was known as the "Soul Dew". Peace returned to the island. However, later in the present, a criminal duo - Zannā and Rion - are seeking Latios and Latias in order to take control of the Soul Dew. Taking a short break in Altomare, Satoshi befriends Latias and is now dragged into the situation helping to save Altomare from becoming swallowed up by destruction again.

This fifth Pokemon movie features Ash befriending a pair of Pokemon named Latios and Latias and having to protect them from a pair of Team Rocket members trying to exploit the Pokemon's abilities for their own gain. As a self-contained film, there is enough time for it to explore the two Pokemon and have the audience build a connection to them, especially with the events that unfold in its second half that lead up to a bittersweet ending. The visuals are also noticeably a notch up from the TV anime with more detailed scenic shots and fluid animation. Overall, an okay entry in the Pokemon franchise.
