Cut to scene: Black City. Enter Annabelle

Annabelle: Maybe, somewhere, Evia is waiting for me. (She starts to sing) This is the story of a bird with no wings. But certain that it can fly, sailing on love, into the head winds, Forcing its way by and by.

Enter Mew

Mew: Hey, Annabelle.

Annabelle: Hey there, Mew.

Mew: What are you doing in the cold? Get out of it. You'll catch hypothermia.

Annabelle: The cold never bothered me anyway.

Mew: I see…

Exit Mew

Annabelle: If only we were as strong as this bird. Our spirit would never die. What do we name it? Hope is the right word. Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird In the sky. Hope is a bird; flies higher than others; and keeps all our dreams alive, free of all doubt. Perfectly fearless, fed by it's will to survive. Imagine ourselves becoming this bird. We can when we dare to try; and see ourselves flying, over the mountain. Hope is the bravest, most beautiful bird In the sky.

Dialga (O.S.): Hey, Palkia! Get back here! Now!

Annabelle: Only hope can light the way, only hope can heal the heart. Only hope can keep the clouds from hiding the moon and the stars. If only we were as strong as this bird. Our spirit would never die. What do we name it? Only one word; Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird. Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird in the sky. Only hope can light the way (Chorus: Only hope) Only hope can heal the heart. (Chorus: Only hope) Only hope can keep the clouds from hiding the moon and the stars. This was a story of a bird without wings. And rose above everything, never was giving up hope.

(Annabelle sighs.)

Enter Dialga

Dialga: Annabelle, I can't find Palkia anywhere!

Annabelle: Let's go find him on our way to find Evia.


Exit Dialga and Annabelle

Cut to scene: Dream Realm. Enter Dawn and Darkrai

Darkrai: Have you ever heard of a region called Unova?

Dawn: Unova…? I have heard of Unova, but I don't know much about it…

Darkrai: That's not surprising. When you ventured around the world eight years ago, you had no need to visit Unova, did you?

Dawn: Well… no. We did consider it… but when we heard that there were no legendaries there, we axed it off our route.

Darkrai: You're wrong. There indeed are beings like I that inhabit Unova.

Dawn: Really…? But then… how was I able to defeat Giratina back then? If not every single legendary was gathered inside that celestial force I held, then Giratina couldn't have been defeated. We needed all the gods and goddesses to defeat him didn't we…?

Darkrai: You indeed gathered all of us that were needed; we are the direct creations of Arceus. We were created from his and Angeallen's very own flesh and bone, thus we were the ones you needed to stop Giratina. The legendary beings that inhabit Unova are completely different from my colleagues and I…

Dawn: How so?

Darkrai: They evolved from the land. Or really… their evolution was aided by a certain lover of yours.

Dawn: Giratina…? They're his creations?

Darkrai: In a sense, yes… We all know that Giratina is the opposite embodiment of Arceus. But even though he represents Arceus' darkness of chaos, distortion and destruction, he can also create life… or at least build upon it. When Arceus creates, it is flawless… perfect in every way. But when Giratina creates, it's like he's experimenting for his own amusement – playing around with his father's perfect creation and twisting it to his own satisfaction. Arceus the creator… and Giratina is the destroyer.

Dawn: I… I think I get it.

Darkrai: If you want to know more about Unova and its legendaries go to the source itself; Giratina knows more about it than I do – I'm just the messenger here! Speaking of which, here's the message: go to Giratina with this word… 'Kyurem.'

Dawn: Kyurem?

Darkrai: Yes. It is this word that is the source of this recent upheaval. Something is happening within the Unova region that has Arceus concerned about the world's well-being. This single word is at centre of it. If it's the name of a legendary being or some other cosmic force, I do not know; I may be an eternal Being, but even I do not know of all that Arceus has made. And if it's one of Giratina's mutations, then I want no bar of it! It would be nothing but bad news, I am sure.

Dawn: So 'Kyurem'… got it!

Darkrai: Good. Well… I'll let you go now; I've done all that I brought you all the way out here for. Pleasant dreams, princess!

Dawn: See you later, Darkrai! And please stop calling me princess!

Exit Dawn and Darkrai.


There is a sudden blackout. When the blackout fades, the scene is cut to Dawn's room. In the bed, Dawn is asleep in Giratina's arms. Giratina wakes up when he hears his name called. Letting Dawn go, he turns to her

Giratina: Dawn, are you all right?

Dawn: Darkrai appeared before me in my dream.

Giratina: Darkrai? What did that abnormal creature want from you?

Dawn: He had a message from your dad, Arceus. Giratina, how much do you know about the Unova region?

Giratina: Why?

Dawn: Because something bad is happening there – that's what Darkrai said anyway… It has something to do with this word: 'Kyurem.'

Giratina buries his face in his hands. He knows this is bad news.

Dawn: Giratina?

Giratina rushes to the window, leans his head outside and throws up.

Dawn: Giratina, what do you know? Please, you must tell me! The world's fate may ride on what you know about this 'Kyurem!'

Giratina recovers and kisses Dawn on her lips.

Giratina: It had always been so easy to succumb you, my dear Dawn… Even back then, you could not resist me. The only thing that has changed now is that you allow me to do this to you – to completely fall into darkness of my passion and enjoy its delights freely… and much, much more.

Dawn: Giratina please… I need to know-

Giratina: What needs to be said cannot be told now. Much time will be needed to fully explain, and the time is now to rest. You will need it for what I have to say. Rest for now, and I will explain to you and the others tomorrow. They need to know as well.


Exit Dawn and Giratina. Cut to scene: Dawn's backyard. It is morning. Enter Dawn, Lugia, Giratina and Dialga. Accompanying them is a girl with strawberry blonde pigtails with red bows in them, sky blue eyes, a white wedding dress style gown with a red sash tied like a rose, creepy makeup and white boots. This is Annabelle

Dawn: Who are you?

Annabelle: Hi, I'm Annabelle Dupree.

Dawn: YOU LOOK LIKE THE DOLL WITH YOUR NAME!

Annabelle: Will you shut up? I am not as scary as you think, and I really don't like that nickname. In fact, I'm an orphan. My parents, John and Mia Dupree passed away when I was five. My mother, at the time of her death, was pregnant with my baby brother. I think his name was supposed to be Higgins.

Lugia: Annabelle and Higgins. Kinda like Annie and Oakley from Team Rocket.

Dawn: So you're an only child?

Annabelle: Yes. I heard you talking about a 'Kyurem.' What is this about?

Dialga: I have heard of Unova, but like Darkrai I know little of it; I know little of what goes on there or what inhabits within. However, this I do know: it was the first region to be created by Arceus.

Dawn: Really? That must mean that the land is really old… older than any other region.

Giratina: It was used as a test site. A prototype model, if you will. Arceus used Unova to test landscape and climate scenarios, determining what works harmoniously and what does not. It was an experiment to conclude the best types of atmosphere that could be habitable, as well as produce the most change in life.

Annabelle: Arceus did all that?

Giratina: The rest of the world was then shaped in accordance to what Arceus learned from Unova, creating what was best suited for this planet. Unova works like any other region… the only difference is of the relics that were left behind.

Dialga: You're speaking of this 'Kyurem…'? I think it is time you enlighten us about this 'Kyurem'. Exactly what is it?

Giratina: Back when Dialga, Palkia and I were young and after Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf were born, I was close to my father. I was amazed at my father's creations, and I had hoped I would create something of my own one day. One day I became known as the Renegade. Then one day, I discovered a ball of light in the mountains. I blessed it and it became Kyurem.

Annabelle: You are Kyurem's father then!

Giratina: I really don't like being called that. I know nothing of Unova after that, for obvious reasons…

Dialga: So… this 'Kyurem' is a by-product of your influence…?

Giratina: Yes. But do not get the impression that this is the reason for this current cause of concern; the last I had seen of Kyurem he was a calm and benevolent creature. He was a well-balanced being who knew the consequences of both sides. And so, he remained neutral so that the world could remain in balance itself.

Dialga: So then, why is this 'Kyurem' considered to be the main catalyst for this recent disturbance?

Annabelle: This is something I want to know.

Giratina: That is something we will have to go and see for ourselves.

Enter Ash and Anna

Ash: Well, I guess our annual reunion holiday has just turned into another adventure. I'm excited!

Anna: Me too!

Dialga: Will the cruise liner be willing to change the route to Unova?

Dawn: I'll have to call them and see what they say.

Ash: If not, then I bet your dad would be willing to get that private jet of his out again… Either way, where gonna be adventuring the world on a quest to save it yet again. This was the break I've been waiting for! I can't wait to get going!

Lugia: You seem to be taking this rather lightly… Remember last time… who knows what is waiting for us in Unova…

Ash: Yeah, but we have Giratina on our side now! This time, it should be a walk in the park!

Anna: Here we go again with the idioms…

Dialga: Very well then, let us all prepare ourselves for the journey ahead.


Exit Ash, Anna, Dawn, Giratina, Dialga, Lugia and Annabelle. Cut to scene: Castelia City. Enter Hilda and Zekrom

Zekrom: What's the matter, sis? If you stress too much, the quicker you'll catch wrinkles, you know…?

Hilda: I just… I feel sick.

Zekrom: Oh… Time to call a doctor for you then, poor sis…

Hilda: No, I don't mean it like that. It's just that I have this sick feeling that something big is about to happen. My intuition's trying to tell me something, pulling me somewhere… but I don't know what or where.

Zekrom: Ok. Hilda, sis… did you know the reason for mine, and our brother's confinement within those orbs…?

Hilda: Not really. Does it have something to do with wanting to protect the people from your overwhelming powers or something…?

Zekrom giggles

Hilda: What?

Hilda laughs

Zekrom: You would like to think that, wouldn't you?

Hilda: So… that's not the reason?

Zekrom: How about this one: did you know that Reshiram and I were once one and the same?

Hilda: Oh, yeah! I know about that part!

Zekrom: It makes you wonder then: what happed to the form we once shared? Did it disappear from the moment of our separation, or did it remain as an empty husk forever forgotten deep within the bowels of a Giant Chasm?

Hilda: That last one sounded too detailed for my liking... So, you're saying that the body you and Reshiram separated from remained?

Zekrom: And with it a single breath of life… enough to allow the thing to rise again… and perhaps come after Reshiram and I in desire to become whole once more. That is the true reason why we agreed to seal ourselves away within those orbs: to hide ourselves from it. But now that we have been freed, I can only imagine what will happen now.

Hilda: Like what? Does that mean we're in danger?

Zekrom: Probably. Perhaps I'm over thinking it and have become paranoid over the centuries…? But still, I can feel it… a cold chill brewing from the north calling our names.

Hilda: So… what were you and Reshiram once called when you shared the same body…?

Zekrom: Kyurem.

Hilda: Kyurem huh…? For some reason, I have empathy for that name. Perhaps I might meet Kyurem someday; I travel with one of its halves, so it's likely possible right? Now saying that… I can't wait to meet it!

Zekrom: Ugh… (Under her breath) I wouldn't want to…
