Synopsis
Professor Spencer Haled discovers the Unown while working on research and is sucked into their prison--a disordered
state of symbols that alter reality--in a Scrabble case buried in some ruins. He remains there until his assistants take the
box to the castle of his distraught daughter Molly and present it to her. When she opens the case, the Unown escape, and in
order to relieve her grief for her missing father, grant every one of her wishes. In the process, they turn her hometown into
an ice palace and the castle becomes a world of illusionary happiness that lulls people into complacency. This somehow leads
to a Pokémon battle. Though the moral of the story seems to be that fighting is bad, the characters fight constantly, directing
phlegm balls from their throats at their enemies. The movie is preceded by the 22-minute short "Pikachu and Pichu," in which
Pikachu is chased by a Pokémon dog through an urban city.
