Plot

On his way to becoming a Pokémon Master, Ash and his companions continue on with their journey. But suddenly, a large mass enveloped in white smoke descends from the sky and lands in front of the group. Surrounding the area with white smoke, a figure emerges... It's the Mythical Pokémon, Volcanion.

Coming from the remote Nebel Plateau, Volcanion lives with Pokémon harmed by humans, and thus holds great distaste towards them. Ignoring the concerns of Ash and his friends, Volcanion immediately tries to leave, but a mysterious force binds Volcanion and Ash to each other. Finding themselves unable to separate, Ash is dragged along as Volcanion continues on its mission.

In a city where large cogs and gears run continuously, a corrupt minister of the Azoth Kingdom has obtained the ultimate invention: the Artificial Pokémon Magearna. Magearna was created 500 years ago and since lost, until the minister found and kidnapped it from the Nebel Plateau. The minister plans to use Magearna's mysterious power of its "Soul Heart" to take control of the mechanical kingdom.

Can Ash and Volcanion work together to rescue Magearna? What power does Magearna's Soul Heart hold? Set in a mechanical kingdom of machinery, one of the greatest battles in the history of Pokémon begins to unfold!
