What happens
Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai is a 2007 Japanese animated fantasy adventure film produced by OLM, Inc. and distributed by Toho. The film was directed by Kunihiko Yuyama and written by Hideki Sonoda. It is the tenth film in the Pokémon anime series and the first film of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, created by Satoshi Tajiri, Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori. In the film, Dialga and Palkia, two Pokémon known to be deities who were never meant to meet, fight in the space between dimensions. The brawling causes disturbances in the space around Alamos Town. The townsfolk blame the events on a nightmare-causing Pokémon called Darkrai, which is trying to protect the town from Dialga and Palkia's clash. The film was released in Japan on July 14, 2007, to a mixed critical reception but a positive audience reception. Three sequels have been released, Pokémon: Giratina & the Sky Warrior in 2008, Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life in 2009, and Pokémon—Zoroark: Master of Illusions in 2010, comprising the Diamond & Pearl film series. Sarah Brightman performs the movie's theme song, a cover of "Where the Lost Ones Go" titled "Be With You (Itsumo Soba ni)" (ビー・ウィズ・ユー〜いつもそばに〜, Bī Wizu Yū ~Itsumo Soba ni~). The cover also features Chris Thompson. This is also the first film to entirely be animated with digital ink and paint. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
