Main Feature Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Satoshi and his friends have come to Alamos Town to participate in a Pokémon Contest taking place there when they come across a lovely young woman named Alice. Alice shows them around landmarks like the "Time & Space Tower" and a beautiful garden filled with lush greenery, putting Satoshi and his friends into a great sightseeing mood. But then they notice that something's been wreaking havoc around the garden. Just then an influential man of the town named Baron Alberto appears before them, and he tells him that he's convinced the havoc they're witnessing is the work of none other than the Mythical Pokémon Darkrai! As if on cue, Darkrai rises up from an ominous shadow and shows itself before Satoshi and the others.

Notes

For this year's feature, director Yuyama Kunihiko, screenwriter Hideki Sonoda, and composer Shinji Miyazaki traveled to Spain for inspiration for the film's setting. The director and his staff went to Barcelona in September 2006 to take pictures for the movie's setting and based some of the locations in the movie (i.e. the Space-Time Tower) on real-life loacations (La Sagrada Família, a large Roman-Catholic basilica).

The tagline for this movie is 「神と呼ばれたポケモンたちのバトル。今、新たなる物語が始まる」 (A battle between the Pokémon Known as Gods...now, a brand new story begins!)
