A man and woman piloting an airship carrying a special container notice that their craft is being pursued by Volcanion. The woman, Cherie, tells her co-pilot Levi to go out and deal with Volcanion, who lands on the ship's deck. Levi sends out an Alakazam and Glalie, then uses a jeweled bracelet to activate a power he calls "Mega Wave", forcibly transforming his Pokémon into their Mega Evolved forms. Volcanion engages Mega Alakazam and Mega Glalie in battle, but Levi manages to fit an electronic band around one of its legs. Volcanion deflects a second band, but Levi has Mega Glalie freeze Volcanion in a block of ice before launching it off the ship.


At a castle, Levi and Cherie present the container to their boss, Cabinet Minister Alva, and a boy who is with him. It turns out to contain Magearna, a Pokémon. The boy introduces himself as Prince Raleigh of the Azoth Kingdom, the land where Magearna was originally born five hundred years prior. Volcanion suddenly appears with Ash, prompting Alva to activate Mega Wave on his Shiny Gengar along with Alakazam and Glalie using his staff. Volcanion is again frozen, and while Ash is stuck near it, Raleigh explains to him that Magearna is an artificial Pokémon created by the inventor Nikola, surprising him. Meanwhile, Raleigh's older sister Kimia launches her own flying device to observe Volcanion after being informed of its presence by her personal assistant, Flamel. As Volcanion thaws out, Ash's Pokémon arrive, and assist in overwhelming the three Mega Evolved Pokémon and creating enough confusion for Volcanion to escape with Magearna, angering Alva. Levi and Cherie soon find Team Rocket scaling the side of the castle and capture them.


That night, while en route to the Nebel Plateau, Ash's group is attacked by Team Rocket, who now possess Mega Wave bracelets supplied to them by Alva which they use to Mega Evolve the Heracross and Pinsir given to them. Ash and Volcanion try to fight them off while Serena, Clemont and Bonnie flee with Magearna, only for them to fall into a pitfall trap left by Team Rocket. To end the fight, Volcanion explodes using Steam Eruption; Kimia also appears with her own shiny Mega Gardevoir to defeat Team Rocket. Clemont gives Ash a protective suit he developed so that the next time Volcanion explodes, he will not be hurt. Kimia tells the group about Alva and her brother: Raleigh held a great interest in arcane science, the practices Nikola used, so Alva tutored him in both arcane science and the history of the Azoth Kingdom. Raleigh trusts Alva completely, but Kimia does not and suspects he holds an ulterior motive.


Later, Alva and his forces invade the Nebel Plateau, flooding the area with smoke. He deploys traps to capture most of the Pokémon and humans, while Levi and Cherie come down from the airship with a large army of Pokémon. They threaten Magearna that they will torture the humans and Pokémon, including Ash and Volcanion, using electricity until it submits and goes with them. Unable to watch its friends get tortured, Magearna surrenders and is taken to Alva and Raleigh by the army's Steelix. Raleigh expresses his excitement that their plans can succeed, but Alva betrays him and has Gengar paralyze Magearna. He opens the hatch on Magearna's chest, revealing its Soul-Heart, which he tries to remove. Raleigh tries to stop him, but Levi holds him and forces him to watch as Alva removes the Soul-Heart, effectively "killing" Magearna. Having no more use for it, Alva has Gengar discard Magearna's body before ordering the entire army to use Hyper Beam, seemingly killing all of the humans and Pokémon below, including Raleigh's sister. Alva tells the horrified prince that he will now be able to seize control of the Azoth Kingdom before having Gengar put him to sleep.


Ash sends all of his Pokémon out, and the group lands on the castle to meet Levi, Cherie and the entire Mega Wave army head-on. As a massive battle breaks out, Volcanion pierces the ground, allowing itself, Ash, Kimia, Greninja and Kimia's Gardevoir to head for the control room. They arrive and confront Alva, only to be caught in the same torture traps he used earlier. Now aware of Magearna fighting him, Alva decides to break its spirit completely by forcing it to fire the laser at the Nebel Plateau. With Gengar controlling it, Magearna cannot stop the laser from firing, and the shock of destroying its home causes its soul to fade from within the Soul-Heart. Alva fires the laser at the Nebel Plateau again, but all of the Pokémon there team up to block it. Their power is not enough, so Squishy jumps off the fortress and absorbs a massive number of Zygarde Cells, briefly transforming into its Complete Forme to block the laser with Dragon Pulse (although this Forme is not seen by anyone else). Volcanion tries to use Steam Eruption to destroy the traps, but runs out of water. It still manages to tear the traps off, causing Alva to panic and order Gengar to attack. Pikachu counteracts with Electro Ball and Thunderbolt, knocking Alva and Gengar back. Ash climbs the mechanism with Greninja, grabs Alva's dropped staff and jams it into the machinery, breaking the Mega Wave jewel in it. Gengar immediately reverts to its original form and flees, and Levi and Cherie's bracelets break, releasing their entire army as well. Jessie and James, who hitched a ride on Kimia's craft earlier, free Meowth while Raleigh wakes up and reunites with his sister. However, Alva takes advantage of the distraction to lock the fortress on a collision course with the Nebel Plateau, hoping to kill all of his enemies. He attempts to flee using an Arcane Science jetpack, but Greninja uses Water Shuriken and breaks it, sending Alva spiraling to the forest below. Ash re-installs the Soul-Heart in Magearna, but because of what Alva did to it, it appears to have lost its memory and personality.



In the credits, the Nebel Plateau Pokémon gather the wreckage of the fortress and bury it in a huge hole. Ash and his friends return to the Azoth Kingdom with Kimia and Raleigh, where Bonnie proposes to Flamel on Clemont's behalf. Later, Kimia and Gardevoir discover Alva tangled in the wreckage of his jetpack in a tree. She arrests him using the magnetic bands used on Volcanion and Ash, keeping him from fleeing even though he attempts to. Levi and Cherie are also imprisoned. Taking Ash's advice, Raleigh goes out on a Pokémon journey of his own with his Slurpuff in order to see the world and learn about more than just past history. Kimia watches him leave from what remains of the castle. Magearna continues to live in peace at the Nebel Plateau with the other Pokémon, while Volcanion watches over them from its cave.

Other events took place between June 17 and July 8 (with it potentially ending earlier if the codes run out before the latter date) and between July 9 and July 15, passcodes are distributed that allow the player to download a Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gengar, respectively, that are modeled after Kimia and Alva's respective Pokémon. The latter code is good until August 31.

In addition, a special disk for Pokémon Ga-Olé with a QR Code on it was distributed at theaters. The QR Code can be scanned in Pokémon Sun and Moon's QR Scanner to allow the player to receive the Mythical Pokémon Magearna.

Manga adaptation

Main article: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel (manga)



  • At one point in the movie, Levi and Cherie send out their entire Mega Wave army, which consists of 14 Pokémon, even though it should not be possible for a single person to carry more than six Pokémon (allowing a maximum of 12 for two people).
  • In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, when Volcanion is about to explode the fortress, Ash says it is outside of the water, instead of without water.
  • After kicking Mega Sharpedo during the Mega Evolution fight, Hawlucha's mouth is red instead of white.
  • After Mega Evolving, Kimia's Gardevoir's torso is colored blue instead of black

Dub edits

  • After the flower field is destroyed by the flying fortress's laser, the sound of Magearna screaming is removed from the dub.
