What happens

Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life is a 2009 Japanese animated adventure film produced by OLM, Inc. and distributed by Toho. The film was directed by Kunihiko Yuyama from a screenplay by Hideki Sonoda. It is the twelfth film in the Pokémon anime series and the third film of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, created by Satoshi Tajiri, Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori, serving as a direct sequel to Pokémon: Giratina & the Sky Warrior (2008). It was released in Japan on July 18, 2009. In the film, Arceus, a powerful creature known as a Pokémon, awakens from a long slumber to seek justice on the humans that refused to return Arceus its life-giving jewel and attacked it. Through loop quantum cosmology, the spacial distortions caused by Arceus's awakening leads to the conflict between the extradimensional Pokémon Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. To prevent Arceus from attacking humanity, Dialga sends Pokémon trainers Ash Ketchum, Dawn, and Brock back in time, along with Sheena, a descendant of the man mistakenly believed to have betrayed Arceus. The theme song of the film is "Kokoro no Antenna" by Shoko Nakagawa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
