A young athlete whose running days might be behind her, a compulsive liar, a shy researcher, a bitter old woman, and a little girl with a big secret—the only thing they have in common is the annual Wind Festival in Fula City. The festival celebrates the Legendary Pokémon Lugia, who brings the wind that powers this seaside city. When a series of threats endangers not just the festival, but all the people and Pokémon of Fula City, it’ll take more than just Satoshi and Pikachu to save the day! Can everyone put aside their differences and work together—or will it all end in destruction?

This movie gave me all the feels. I don't know why but it was so touching in several scenes that it made me tear up. I believe this movie is something EVERY child needs to see. It has great values: Friendship, Believing in yourself, and overcoming obstacles no matter what. Ash and Pikachu kinda take a back seat in this adventure which doesn't really damper the events as they play out. Sure Ash and Pikachu are involved but it's the secondary characters that are the stand out performers of this movie.

It is one of the best of the Pokémon movies by far.
