Second Synopsis
Satoshi and his friends are continuing their journey when a large pokemon suddenly falls from the sky, right in front of them! As the large amount of dust kicked up by the collision begins to clear away the Mythical Pokemon Volcanion emerges. Volcanion, who lives in an area far removed from humans known as the Navel Plateau together with pokemon who have been hurt by humans in some way, actually hates humans itself.
Volcanion is about to run off without even noticing our heroes but for some reason Satoshi is dragged along with it! It seems that at some point the two of them became connected to each other by a strange chain and that no matter how hard they try they can't seem to break free! Seeing that it has no other choice, Volcanion begins to run anyway, dragging the protesting Satoshi behind with it, and heads toward the Azoth Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Cabinet Minister Jarvis the Azoth Kingdom, a super mechanical city where giant gears rotate continuously, has gotten his hands on an ultimate invention after many years of searching. This invention is the Artificial Pokemon Magearna, a pokemon created in the kingdom 500 years ago but who went missing some time later, as well as the unknown power of the "Soul Heart" that is said to rest inside it.
As Jarvis plots to use the power of the Soul Heart to rule the kingdom, Volcanion is on its way to get Magearna back after it was kidnapped from the Navel Plateau. "No way I'll be able to forgive humans for this!"
Will Satoshi and Volcanion be able to work together and help Magearna while stuck together like this? And what is the true power hidden inside the Soul Heart? The hottest battle in the history of Pokemon is about to begin!
