When big trouble threatens the big city, it's up to Ash, Pikachu, and their friends to stop it! A vast Pok mon habitat amid the hustle and bustle of the big city seems like the perfect new home for a group of five Genesect. The arrival of these Mythical Pok mon quickly becomes a problem, though: their nest threatens the city's power supply, and they keep attacking anyone who approaches it. On top of that, they've attracted the attention of the legendary Pok mon Mewtwo, who sympathizes with them because its own origins also involve human tampering. Their leader, a red Genesect, doesn't trust Mewtwo, and their confrontation quickly rages out of control! Can Ash and friends stop these two powerful Pok mon before they destroy the city?

When a group of mythical and powerful Genesect Pok mon suddenly reappear in the world and threatens the city, it will be up to Ash and Pikachu to save the day! says Charlene Ingram, Senior Manager, Animation Marketing.
