A legend speaks of 5 chosen Pokémon Trainers, whose hearts contain & manipulate unique Pokémon powers. The 5 chosen ones are: Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town, who controls the power of Electric Pokémon, Misty Waterflower of Cerulean City, who controls the power of Water Pokémon, Gary Oak of Pallet Town, who controls the power of Psychic Pokémon, Richie of the Orange Islands, who controls the power of Fire Pokémon, and Casey of the Johto League, who controls the power of Grass Pokémon. The legend also speaks of an ancient myth, telling that when the day of the devil, June 6, at 6:06 and 6 seconds, comes, the evil Pokémon, Ragnarok, will arrive to wreak havoc upon the world, and it will be up to the chosen trainers to stop its destruction…these trainers - the Spirit Masters!

9 years ago…

Giovanni: Where is Ash Ketchum?!?

Man: I…I don't know!

Giovanni: Grrrrr…Keep looking, troops!!

TR Troops: Sir, yes, sir!

Far away from the city, a 5-year-old Ash watches his hometown go up in smoke.

Ash: (crying) Why…? What do they want with me?

Joy: Don't worry, Ash. You'll be safe with me.

Joy bends down to Ash.

Joy: I'll take care of you.

Ash: Promise?

Joy: I promise.

Ash held Joy close. Joy took one final look at the blazing city.

Joy: Let's go, Ash.

Ash: Where are we going?

Joy: Far away, Ash. Don't worry. I'll keep you safe.

Ash smiles.

*************************************************************

Ash is now 14 years old. Joy has taken good care of Ash & kept him out of harm's way for 9 years. Today is Ash's birthday. A few hours after his birthday party…

Ash: I'm all done cleaning up the Pokémon Center, Miss Joy. [Only Ash calls Nurse Joy Miss Joy.]

Joy: Thanks for helping, Ash.

Ash: My pleasure, Miss Joy.

All of a sudden, 3 TR troops barged into the Pokémon Center. Ash took a few steps back.

Joy: What do you want?

Troop 1: We are looking for a boy named Ash Ketchum.

Troop 2: Have you seen him?

Ash was hiding behind the front counter.

Ash: It's them!

Troop 3: Tell us where he is and you won't get hurt.

Joy: I…don't know what you're talking about!

One of the troops punched Joy to the ground.

Joy: Oof…

Ash was angered & defended Joy.

Ash: Leave Miss Joy alone! Leave this place at once!

Joy: Ash…

Troop 2: Are you Ash Ketchum?

Ash: I said LEAVE!

Troop 1: Hmph…what're you going to do? Yell at us to death?

All of the troops laughed.

Ash: Grrrrr…

Ash then glowed bright golden.

Troops: What the…!?

Ash punched one of the troops in the face.

Ash: Who else wants some?!?

The other troops took a few steps back.

Troop 2: We will be back!

The men then ran out. Ash ran over to Joy.

Ash: Are you all right, Miss Joy?

Joy: Yes, I think so. Thanks, Ash. But…what happened?

Ash: I'm not sure…(gasp) Miss Joy…your wound!

Joy: I must have skidded into that rosebush I put there this morning.

Ash took out a handkerchief and wrapped Joy's wound.

Joy: Thank you, Ash.

Ash: Those guys are bad news.

Joy: I have a feeling they'll be back.

*************************************************************

Giovanni: What!? A little boy stopped you?!?

Troop 1: Boss, that was no ordinary boy! He ain't human!

Giovanni: What!?

Troop 2: What!?

Troop 1: I'm not kidding. He was glowing! That punch felt like…electricity!

Troop 3: You're kidding!

Giovanni: Hmm…Perhaps, he is the one we're looking for!

*************************************************************

Later that day, Ash went to a river & started to throw rocks into it. He then noticed a young girl, about his age, watching him.

Ash: Hi.

Girl: Is your name…Ash Ketchum?

Ash: Uh…yes.

Girl: I am Misty Waterflower. I have been sent to find you.

Ash stood up as Misty started to approach him.

Ash: What?

Misty: You have been chosen to defend this Earth from an evil force.

Ash: Huh?

Misty: Come with me. Hold my hand. All will be explained.

Ash took Misty's hand and they transported to a large base.

Ash: Wha…where are we?

Misty: Ash…welcome to Pokémon Spirit Base!

Ash: Poké-what Spirit who?

Suddenly, a man walked up to Ash.

Man. Hello, Ash. My name is Professor Oak. You have been chosen to protect the Earth with your spirit powers!

Ash: My…spirit powers?

Later, Ash walked into a room where another woman was waiting.

Woman: Hello, Ash. I am Professor Ivy.

Ash: Can someone tell me what's going on?

A large screen appeared.

Oak: Listen closely to this, Ash.

A Pokémon appeared on the film.

*************************************************************

Mewtwo: Hello. My name is Mewtwo. Listen closely to what I have to say. In this world lie 5 chosen trainers who can manipulate the power of Pokémon. They are called the Spirit Masters. Ash Ketchum, who has the power of electricity, Misty Waterflower, who has the power of water, Gary Oak, who has psychic power, Richie, from the Orange Islands, who has the power of Fire, and finally, Casey, the famous baseball player of Johto, who has the power of Grass. When the day of the devil comes, they must be prepared to battle the great Pokémon, Ragnarok! If you don't succeed, the world will be destroyed! The world's fate lies in your hands!

*************************************************************

Ash: I'm…a Spirit Master? But…what do I do?

Oak: You see…mainly, your power is released on a surge of emotion.

Ivy: That means that your power will be released if a loved one is in danger. You, Ash, released your power when Nurse Joy was in danger.

Ash: I remember. I was…glowing.

Ivy: You were supposedly able to master your powers when you are 18 years old or above. But we don't have that much time!

Ash: What's the day of the devil?

Oak: June 6th, 6 minutes and 6 seconds past 6:00 in the evening.

Ash: Oh…

Misty: So you see, Ash…we must assemble the other 3 Spirit Masters to do battle with Ragnarok.

Ash: But…what about Miss Joy? She won't be safe without me.

Ivy: Do not worry, Ash. Joy is perfectly safe.

Ash: Hmm…All right! I'll do it!

Misty: Good.

Ash: Who should we look for first?

Misty: Richie of the Orange Islands!

Ash: Let's go!
